- Wipe the external surfaces with a damp cloth and dry with a lint-free cloth. Avoid using plastic or stainless steel scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, solvent cleaners, or acid/alkaline cleaners to prevent damage.
- Clean the drain filter and filter plate at least once a month or whenever there is evidence of food particles. The spray arm generally requires less frequent cleaning but should also be checked periodically. Clean these parts with hot water and rinse thoroughly.
- If the dishwasher will not be used for an extended period, turn off the power and water supply. Keep the drawers slightly ajar to allow moisture to escape and prevent mold or mildew development.
- Run a wash cycle with detergent immediately after using a dishwasher cleaner/descaler to prevent any damage to the dishwasher.
- Ensure all parts, such as the filter plate, drain filter, and spray arm, are correctly in place before operating the dishwasher.

Energy Efficiency Tips
- Use the Eco program for normally soiled dishes, as it ensures optimal energy and water use.
- Avoid pre-rinsing tableware items before loading, as this increases water and energy consumption.
- Load the dishwasher to its full capacity without overcrowding to maximize efficiency.
- Regularly clean the spray arms and filters to maintain optimal performance and energy use.
- Use the appropriate detergent quantity for your water hardness to prevent re-washing and excess energy use.
- **Electrical Shock Hazard**: Before installing or servicing the dishwasher, ensure the power is switched off at the electrical panel and the dishwasher is unplugged. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock .
- **Use Only Specified Detergents**: Use only detergents or rinse aid recommended for a domestic dishwasher. Keep them out of reach of children. Detergents can be highly alkaline and dangerous if swallowed or if they come into contact with skin or eyes .
- **Hydrogen Gas Warning**: If the hot water system hasn't been used for two weeks or more, hydrogen gas can build up in it, which is explosive. Before using the dishwasher, turn on all hot water taps and let the water flow for several minutes to release any accumulated hydrogen gas. Do not smoke or use open flames during this process .
- **Drawer Safety**: Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the drawer or dish rack of the dishwasher. The drawer should not be left in the open position as it can present a tripping hazard. Ensure the drawer is fully closed during operation to avoid leaking and potential injury .
- **Operational Safety**: Do not touch the filter plate in the base of the dishwasher immediately after use, as it may be hot. Always press the pause button and wait until you hear four beeps before opening the drawer to avoid hot steam and water .
