Electrolux BW450 - Care and Cleaning

8. After the wash
When the washing programme has finished, the machine will stop but the
mains on indicator will remain illuminated. You should then switch off the
machine, and also tum off the water supply stopcock. Do not turn off the
water before the programme has finished, as water is needed for the
regeneration of the water softener which takes place during the drying cycle.
Finally, remember to inspect the filters regularly and, if necessary, rinse them
under a tap. Note that there may be a small amount of water left in the filter
recess.
SPECIAL PROGRAMMES
Rinse and Hold Programmes
The ‘rinse and hold 1 programme should be used when you do not have
enough articles to justify a complete wash, especially useful when the soil on
the plates has a strong odour such as sea food.
After rinsing, the dishes can remain in the machine until after the next meal,
or until there is a reasonably full load.
NOTE : Do not put stainless steel items into your machine on this
programme.
CARE AND CLEANING
Before carrying out any cleaning of your machine always make sure that the
power supply is turned off at the wall socket and the stop-cock is closed.
Your machine will be kept in good condition if you carry out the following
recommendations:-
1. Check the detergent dispenser, wipe away any powder deposits and dry the
compartments thoroughly.
2. Wipe over the outside of your machine with a damp cloth only. Do not use
any other form of cleaning such as metal polish, otherwise you may damage
the surface.
3. Clean the front edge, particularly around the hinges and the door gasket
with a damp cloth periodically.
4. Wipe around the outer edges of the inner door panel occasionally with a
damp cloth.
