Care And Maintenance - Bosch SPE5ES55UC Operating Instructions Manual

Care and Maintenance
A regular inspection and maintenance of your machine will help to prevent faults. This saves time and prevents
future problems.
Overall condition of the machine
Never use a steam cleaner to clean your dishwasher. The manufacturer is not lia- Figure 8
ble for any consequential damage.
Regularly wipe the front of the appliance with a damp cloth - water and a small
amount of liquid soap is adequate. Do not use sponges with a rough surface or
abrasive detergents, as these could scratch the surfaces.
Stainless steel appliances: To prevent corrosion, avoid using sponge cloths.
Clean the outer edges of the inside door panel regularly to remove debris that may
collect from normal loading. If spots begin to appear on the stainless steel, make
sure the rinse agent is full and functioning properly.
Filters
The filter system consists of a coarse filter, a flat fine filter and a micro filter. The
filters keep large foreign objects in the rinsing water away from the pump. Foreign
objects may occasionally block the filters.
Check the filters for residue by:
• Unscrew the filter cylinder as illustrated in Figure 8-9 and take out the filter sys-
tem.
• Remove any residue and clean filters under running water.
• Reinstall filter system in reverse sequence and ensure that the arrow marks are
facing each other after locking it into place.

Spray Arms
Check spray arms for grease and limescale deposits.
If you find such deposits:
• Fill detergent dispenser with detergent and start
the appliance without utensils in the cycle with the
highest rinsing temperature (see wash cycle infor-
mation table).
• Clean the appliance with detergents/appliance
cleaners which are particularly suitable for use
with dishwashers.
• Unscrew the spray arms and inspect as shown in
Figure 10.

Waste water pump
Large food remnants in the rinsing water not retained by the filters may block the
waste water pump. The rinsing water does not get pumped out and covers the fil-
ters.
In this case:
• Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
• Remove the filters.
• Scoop out standing water- use a sponge if necessary.
• Using a spoon, pry off the pump cover (see Figure 11-12) until it clicks, then grip
the cover and pull upward until it resists and then pull forward.
• Check inner compartment and remove any foreign objects.
• Place cover in the original position, press down and engage.
• Reinstall filters.
