If you constantly use the equipment without proper care, sooner or later it will fail. Filters, hoses and nipples may leak, leakage may occur, as sealants become sealed.
What measures include daily prevention:
- After finishing the washing, leave the hopper door open. This will help the moisture evaporate faster and prevent the formation of mold.
- Wipe the door sealing rubber with a dry sponge.
- Clean the outside of the dishwasher with a damp cloth.
Also, once or twice a week, do the following:
- cleaning of the drain and input filters;
- cleaning of the upper and lower sprinkler;
- cleaning of the inside of the hopper;
- inspection and cleaning of hoses;
- wash the compartment for detergent.
Use only special detergents for dishwashers. These can be tablets, powder or gel capsules. Also use a rinse aid for dishes.
