  • Page 36: Cleaning Filters In Wash Cabinet

    Check your dishwasher regularly (approx. every 4 - 6 months). This way faults and problems can be avoided. The filter combination in the base of the wash cabinet retains coarse soil from the suds solution, preventing it access- ing the circulation system and re-enter- ing the cabinet through the spray arms.

  • Page 38: Cleaning Spray Arms

    ^ Remove the lower basket. Particles of food can get stuck in the spray arm jets and bearings. The spray arms should therefore be inspected and cleaned regularly (approx. every 4 - 6 months). ^ Switch the dishwasher off before- hand.
