CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING! Before
maintenance, deactivate the
appliance and disconnect the
mains plug from the main
socket.
Dirty filters and clogged spray
arms decrease the washing
results. Make a check regularly
and, if necessary, clean them.
Cleaning the filters
The filter system is made of 3 parts.
• Put cutlery and small items in the
cutlery basket.
• Make sure that the spray arms can
move freely before you start a
programme.
Before starting a programme
Before you start the selected programme,
make sure that:
• The filters are clean and correctly
installed.
• The cap of the salt container is tight.
• The spray arms are not clogged.
• There is enough salt and rinse aid
(unless you use multi-tablets).
• The arrangement of the items in the
baskets is correct.
• The programme is suitable to the type
of load and the degree of soil.
• The correct quantity of detergent is
used.
Unloading the baskets
1. Let the tableware cool down before
you remove it from the appliance. Hot
items can be easily damaged.
