Black marks & mildew on my washer. Why?

This is caused by a bacteriological build-up in your machine due to poor cleaning. It really is that simple and, all too often, it is caused by incorrect detergent use.

ONLY using solely liquid detergents, liquid tablets, colour only powders (or liquid) as well as most of the “alternative” products like Soapnuts, Ecoballs and Ecover which do NOT contain any bleach, and do not remove any bacteria effectively.

What happens is that under-dosing or using the incorrect detergent for too long without performing a maintenance wash bacteria starts to build up in the washing machine, which will grow very happily in the warm damp conditions, which will lead to mould on the door seal or door rubber.

If you wish to use these alternative products you will have to add bleach to prevent “greying” of your whites over time as well as other problems.

Mildew on the machines rubber seal:

Clean out the washer door’s rubber seal thoroughly with a half-half solution of water and vinegar. Use Q-Tips for hard-to-clean areas. Remove any bits of hair or fabric you may find — these trap odors, sludge and provide a wonderful home for mold. Wipe the inside of the drum with this solution as well. And ensure you wipe any excess water on the seal after each wash as well. Additionally it is important you keep you door open after cycle to allow the machine to fully dry out after each wash.

For a monthly cleaning session, pour some distilled white vinegar instead of laundry detergent into the dispenser, and add one cup of baking soda directly into the drum as well (this will neutralize the pH, but provide a scrubbing action). Run the machine on the hottest cycle, plus an extra rinse. For extreme cases of mildew-y smells contact us and we will advise you on the next best steps.

Maintenance wash - washing machine & washer dryer

A maintenance wash cleans out the insides of your washing machine, which needs to be done on all washers from time to time. Most detergent manufacturers as well as washing machine manufacturers seem to have settled on doing it once a month, but obviously this will vary from household to household depending on how much the washing machine is used.

Using only colour detergent, liquid, liquid tablets or any other detergent that does not contain bleach will massively increase the need to carry out a maintenance wash. This includes alternatives such as soapnuts, ecoballs and Ecover etc., products which we have serious concerns about anyway.

No Wash Load!

The maintenance wash is to clean your washing machine out.

The machine must be empty when a maintenance wash is performed. This will also help the surfactants in the powder to attack the calcium build-ups as well, which will negate the need for any descaling.

 

However, if you use detergent correctly you should have little call for such add-on products, normally as there are components in the detergents to combat the effects of lime scale already.

What detergent to use during the maintenance wash?

You will need a good brand powder or tablets to do this. Don’t use Liquid. It is the bleach in the powder that will kill the bacteria and that is a huge part of this process and the primary reason for carrying out a maintenance wash.

What program is best for the maintenance wash?

You need to use at least a 60’C program; preferably a hot wash at about 90’C will help to clean better. Please select one without a pre-wash, you want to get the full wash cycle and the heating from the heater to maximise the impact of any biological action by the enzymes.

Can I place the microwave in a cavity? If so, how much space do I need around the product for the cavity?

Ariston microwaves are designed and tested as freestanding products, unless stated that they are built in models.

If you wish to place freestanding microwaves in a cavity they must observe the below minimum dimensions and requirements.

The enclosure for freestanding microwaves is as follows:

1. The cavity needs a vent for airflow at the top back that flows up behind the cabinetry (standard with MWO cavities).

2. A 50mm clearance either side and 100mm on top.

3. Do not place anything in the clearance spaces on sides (as there are vents) and top of unit (as there is a grill that heats up and can create a high temperature zone).

4. Do not cover/close the cavity (front) as the cavity needs to have air circulation at all times.

Note: air vents on product must remain exposed and not obstructed, especially the grill creates a hot temperature zone around the unit during cooking.

I prepared a fish dish in my microwave. How can I remove the unpleasant odour?

Warm up a cup of water containing a few drops of lemon juice for about one minute. This will remove any unpleasant odours from your microwave.

What is the difference between dynamic crisp freestanding microwaves and other microwaves?

– The Dynamic Crisp function uses three heat sources at the same time.

– This allows you to use the special dynamic crisp plate that maintains a temperature of 210 degrees C (the perfect temperature for crisping).

– The dynamic crisp plate enables you to brown sausages, crisp bacon, produce perfect pizzas and even fry eggs.

My microwave stays on even after I finished cooking?

After cooking ENDS, it is common for the microwave to have the FAN, TURNTABLE and CAVITY LAMP still on before pressing STOP button, this is completely normal. The microwave and heating elements area turned off, however the turntable and fan keep active in order to help spread the heat evenly over the food (as it cools down), this especially useful if you are cooking meat and forget to remove it from the microwave after the program has ended.

What type of cookware can I use in my microwave?

Please refer to manufacturer’s recommendations when using: aluminum foil, metal, plastic wrap, bags, covers, dinnerware, containers, pottery, clay, china, earthenware, melamine paper towels, paper dinnerware, napkins. It is safe to use wax paper, ceramic glass and glass.

Why can't I use metal objects in a microwave?

Microwave radiation is reflected by metal. If too much radiation is directed to one point this will result in sparks. This is likely to damage your microwave oven.

Ceramic Hobs

You must not use glass or copper-bottomed cookware, as this material will damage the surface of your ceramic glass.

Induction Hobs

Use cookware which is compatible for induction cookware, we especially recommend pots and pans made from cast iron, coated steel and special stainless steel adapted for induction cooktops.

See your Ariston user manual for a full list of materials that can and cannot be used, be especially careful with cleaning products, we recommend that you use our range of cookware cleaning products

Fast Clean - Pyrolytic Fast cleaning – What is it?

In this process, the interior walls of the oven are coated with self-degreasing catalytic enamel. This enamel oxydizes and destroys all grease particles which splash on to the oven walls. The temperature of the walls must

be over 170° for oxydization to occur. The porosity of the catalytic enamel increases the surface exchange required for oxydizing the grease particles by catalysis.

● Towards the end of the cooking period, if there are still traces of grease

particles, leave the empty oven turned on with

●The door closed, set the temperature selector to maximum, the function selection control to for 60 to 90 minutes

● According to the amount of grease residue. Hot water and a soft brush can also help remove spattering of grease.

Above, is a photo of a customer’s OS99DPIX oven, which was changed over by a Harvey Norman store because the oven liner enamel was damaged, these marks were left after a Pyro- Clean and are quite normal, as could be left over Die/Chemicals from meat or foods that the pyro temperature cannot always remove.

os990-rtn1

 

Above, is the same oven after the mark was removed with an Ariston scraper and cleaning cloth in our workshop. Please be aware that not ALL marks will be removed from a Pyro-clean and some housekeeping is required.

Also be aware that you must remove all shelving and trays before using the Pyro-clean function. After it has finished and cooled, use a damp cloth to wipe the dust out.

DO NOT place anything, at all, on the bottom of our ovens. It causes damage.
