steps
- check before cleaning
look for grease or mineral residue and read the packet before opening a sachet. standing dirty water, drainage trouble or heating faults need a separate check.
- empty the dishwasher
remove dishes and cutlery. follow the packet for the dose and placement, and don't add normal dishwasher detergent.
- run the cleaning cycle
where the dishwasher instructions allow, use an empty hot programme above 55 C without prewash. let the cycle finish normally.
- check when safe
inspect for cleaner surfaces and reduced smells when it is safe to do so. if smells persist, water remains or another fault appears, stop using cleaner as the answer and arrange the relevant checks.
