CAUTION! An incorrect
position of the filters can cause
bad washing results and
damage to the appliance.
Cleaning the lower spray arm
We recommend to clean the lower spray
arm regularly to prevent soil from clogging
the holes.
Clogged holes can cause unsatisfactory
washing results.
1. To remove the lower spray arm, pull it
upwards.
2. Wash the spray arm under running
water. Use a thin pointed tool, e.g. a
toothpick, to remove particles of soil
from the holes.
3. To install the spray arm back, press it
downwards.
External cleaning
• Clean the appliance with a moist soft
cloth.
• Only use neutral detergents.
• Do not use abrasive products, abrasive
cleaning pads or solvents.
Internal cleaning
• Carefully clean the appliance, including
the rubber gasket of the door, with a
soft damp cloth.
• To maintain the performance of your
appliance, use a cleaning product
designed specifically for dishwashers at
least once a month. Carefully follow the
instructions on the packaging of the
product.
• Do not use abrasive products, abrasive
cleaning pads, sharp tools, strong
chemicals, scourer or solvents.
• Using short-duration programmes
regularly can cause grease and
limescale buildup inside the appliance.
Run long-duration programmes at least
twice a month to prevent the buildup.
Removal of foreign objects
Check the filters and the sump after each
use of the dishwasher. Foreign objects
(e.g. pieces of glass, plastic, bones or
toothpicks, etc) decrease the cleaning
performance and can cause damage to
the drain pump.
1. Disassemble the filters system as
instructed in this chapter.
2. Remove any foreign objects by hand.
