WARNING!
Before maintenance, deactivate the
appliance and disconnect the mains plug

Dirty filters and clogged spray arms
negatively affect the washing results.
Check these elements 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.
• Use the automatic cleaning programme for
optimal cleaning results.
18 ENGLISH

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.

10.6 Unloading the baskets
1. Let the tableware cool down before you

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

regularly can cause grease and limescale
buildup inside the appliance. Run long-
duration programmes at least twice a
month to prevent the buildup.

of the dishwasher. Foreign objects (e.g.
pieces of glass, plastic, bones or toothpicks,
