HOW TO LOOK AFTER YOUR dishwasher

Clean The Filter

Clean Spray Arms & Door Seals

Regularly clean the dishwasher’s filter to prevent food debris from causing clogs and odours. Consult the manual to identify and remove your specific filter properly.

Clean Spray Arms & Door Seals

Inspect the spray arms for blocked holes and clean them to ensure proper water circulation for washing dishes. Wipe down the rubber door seals to prevent mould and mildew from building up.

Use Dishwasher Cleaner Regularly

Run the dishwasher on an empty hot cycle regularly, either with a specialized dishwasher cleaner or with a bowl of white vinegar to remove residue, limescale, and grease from the internal components.

Load Dishes Properly And Use Salt/Rinse Aid

Ensure dishes are loaded correctly with proper spacing to allow for effective cleaning and water circulation. Top up dishwasher salt to prevent limescale and use rinse aid as recommended by your manufacturer to aid in drying and prevent spots.
