Dishwasher

Some DAS apartments come equipped with a dishwasher. Others have pre-installed connections for a dishwasher, allowing you to purchase the appliance at your own expense if you wish.

If you purchase a dishwasher yourself, make sure it is installed by a professional. Damage caused by an improperly installed appliance may not be covered by your home insurance. We also recommend using a drip tray—it protects the floor and makes any leaks visible.

1. Empty and inspect the dishwasher

Make sure the dishwasher is empty. Check that there are no food residues at the bottom.

2. Clean the filter

Remove the filter located at the bottom of the machine. Rinse it with warm water. If necessary, use a dish brush or a soft brush. Reattach the filter carefully.

3. Clean the spray arms

Check that the holes in the spray arms are not clogged. Remove any blockages, for example with a toothpick. Rinse if needed.

4. Wipe seals and surfaces

Wipe the door seals with a damp cloth. Clean the interior surfaces and the door.

5. Run an empty cycle

Start a hot wash program (at least 60 °C). Add a dishwasher cleaner or about 1–2 dl of white vinegar (do not use together with detergent).

6. Clean the exterior

Wipe the outer surfaces with a damp cloth. Dry if necessary.

Remove the filter located at the bottom of the machine.
