Cleaning your dishwasher
When food residue is left on the dishes or the machine smells musty, the cause is usually a clogged filter or dirty spray arms. Regular cleaning extends the life of the machine and improves the washing results.
You will need
- A soft brush or an old toothbrush
- A toothpick or thin stick
- Dishwasher cleaner or citric acid
- A cloth
- The machine's user manual
