CHAPTER 8. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning your dishwasher is important to maintain the machine's service life Make sure that the water
softening setting (If available) is done correctly and correct amount of detergent is used to prevent limescale
accumulation. Refill the salt compartment when the salt sensor light comes on.
Oil and limescale may build up in your Dishwasher over time. If this occurs:
• Fill the detergent compartment but do not load any dishes. Select a programme which runs at high
temperature and run the Dishwasher empty. If this does not clean your Dishwasher sufficiently, use a
cleaning agent designed for use with dishwashers.
• To extend the life of your dishwasher, clean the appliance regularly on each month
• Wipe the door seals regularly with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated residue or foreign objects.
Filters
Clean the filters and spray arms at least once a week. If any food waste remains or foreign objects on the
coarse and fine filters, remove them and clean them thoroughly with water.
a) Micro Filter
b) Coarse Filter
c) Metal Filter
To remove and clean the filter combination, turn it counter
clockwise and remove it by lifting it upwards (1). Pull the
coarse filter out of the micro filter (2).Then pull and remove
the metal filter (3).Rinse the filter with lots of water until it is
free of residue. Reassemble the filters. Replace the filter insert,
and rotate it clockwise (4).
• Never use your dishwasher without a filter.
• Incorrect fitting of the filter will reduce the washing effectiveness.
• Clean filters are necessary for proper running of the machine.
Spray arms
Make sure that the spray holes are not clogged and that no food waste is
stuck to the spray arms. If there is any clogging, remove the spray arms
and clean them under water. To remove the upper spray arm undo the
nut holding it in position by turning it clockwise and pulling it
downwards. Make sure that the nut is properly tightened when
refitting the upper spray arm.
