11. 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.
11.1 Internal cleaning
• Clean the appliance interior with a soft
damp cloth.
• Do not use abrasive products, abrasive
cleaning pads, sharp tools, strong
chemicals, scourer or solvents.
• Wipe clean the door, including the rubber
gasket, once a week.
• To maintain the performance of your
appliance, use a cleaning product
designed for dishwashers at least once
every two months. Carefully follow the
instructions on the packaging of the
product.
• 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.
10.6 Unloading the baskets
1. Let the tableware cool down before you
remove it from the appliance. Hot items
can be easily damaged.
2. First remove items from the lower basket,
then from the upper basket.
After the programme is completed, water
can still remain on the inside surfaces of
the appliance.
• 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.
11.2 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.
CAUTION!
If unable to remove the foreign objects,
contact an Authorised Service Centre.
1. Disassemble the filters system as
instructed in this chapter.
2. Remove any foreign objects manually.
3. Reassemble the filters as instructed in
this chapter.
11.3 External cleaning
• Clean the appliance with a moist soft
cloth.
• Only use neutral detergents.
