Cleaning the spray arms
The dishwasher has three different spray
arms.
Particles of food can get stuck in the spray
arm nozzles and bearings. The spray arms
should therefore be checked and cleaned
regularly.
Switch the dishwasher off.

Pull the upper spray arm downwards to

remove it.
The middle and bottom spray arms are se-
cured with a bayonet fitting.
The bayonet fitting on the lower spray arm
is coloured yellow so that it cannot be mis-
taken for the fitting on the middle spray
arm.
To release the bayonet fitting, proceed as
follows:
Using the knurled nut, turn the middle

spray arm to the left as far as it will go
and then pull the spray arm downwards to
remove it.
Remove the lower basket.

Using the knurled nut, turn the lower

spray arm in the direction of the arrow as
far as it will go and then pull the spray arm
upwards to remove it.
Cleaning and care
Use a pointed object to push food

particles into the spray arm nozzles.
Rinse the spray arms thoroughly under

running water.
Replace the spray arms and check that
they rotate freely.
Make sure that the spray arm with the yel-
low bayonet fitting is fitted in the bottom of
the wash cabinet.
