The water heater element is made of a special stainless steel which after a while may
change colour; this does not in any way affect its performance or its working life.
Both the door lining and the tank lining are in stainless steel; however, should spots
caused by oxidation occur, this is probably due to a high level of iron salts presents
in the water. The spots can be removed with a mild abrasive agent; never use
chlorine based materials, steel wool, etc.
WHEN CYCLE IS FINISHED
After every wash it is essential to turn off water supply and to switch off the machine
by pressing the On/Off button to the off position. If the machine is not going to be

3. turn off the water tap.
4. fill the rinse aid container.
5. Ieave the door ajar.
6. Keep the inside of the machine clean.

inside the pipes may freeze. Wait until the temperature rises above zero and then
wait for about 24 hours before starting up the dishwasher.
