Caution: the dishwasher must not be used
without filters.
Incorrect repositioning of the filters will produce
poor washing results.
Cleaning of the filters is vital to ensure correct
operation of the machine.
Internal and External Cleaning
You must ensure that the seals around the door, the
detergent and rinse aid dispensers are cleaned
regu larly with a damp cloth.
We recommend you carryout a maintenance wash
every 3 months, by running a 65° C wash programme
without dishes using detergent.
