Care and maintenance
instructions
Coarse filter
The coarse filter traps larger food particles, which cannot get past the
drain pump. Empty the coarse filter as necessary.
Coarse filter
1 Lift the coarse filter by the handle.
2 Empty the coarse filter. Remember to replace it!
Fine filter
Debris that collects on the fine filter is automatically rinsed away during
each wash. Clean the fine filter when necessary.
Fine filter
1 Turn the handle counterclockwise.
2 Lift the filter straight up using the handle. Remove the coarse filter
to clean the fine filter.
3 Replace in reverse order. Check that the edges seal properly when
replacing the fine filter.
4 Lock the filter in place by turning the handle clockwise to the stop
position. The handle should point straight out from the dishwasher.
NOTE!
The dishwasher must not be used without the filters in place!
Dishwashing results may be affected if the coarse filter is incorrectly
fitted.
Spray arms
Holes and bearings can become blocked. Remove debris using a
needle or similar item. The spray arms have holes on the bottom.
Spray arms can be removed for cleaning. Remember to fit them firmly
back into place afterward.
Top spray arm
• Remove the upper basket then release the top spray arm. See
section Upper spray arm.
• Remove the top cutlery tray. Push the top spray arm up and turn
the spray arm bearings counterclockwise to remove the spray arm.
Upper spray arm
• The upper basket must be removed before the upper spray arm
can be released. Extend the upper basket then rotate each basket
catch runner outward (see illustration). Remove the basket.
• Pull the upper spray arm straight up to release.
Lower spray arm
• Pull the lower spray arm straight up to release it.
The door and the door seal
Regularly clean the sides of the door and the door seal. Use a slightly
damp cloth (with a little cleaner if necessary).
Display panel
Keep the buttons clean and free from grease. Wipe them clean with a
dry or slightly damp cloth. Never use cleaners – they can scratch the
surface. Use the main power switch to turn off the dishwasher before
cleaning the buttons to avoid activating any buttons unintentionally.
The dishwasher tub
The dishwasher tub is made of stainless steel and is kept clean through
normal use.
Limescale deposits
If you have hard water, limescale deposits may build up in the
dishwasher. If this happens, run the Self-cleaning program with two
tablespoons of citric acid in the detergent compartment (with no dishes
in the machine). Special dishwasher cleaners are also available in
stores.
Never use anti-freeze, Draino
®
, CLR
®
, or other chemical cleaners.
Unblocking the drain pump
If the dishwasher still contains water after the program has finished,
something may be blocking the drain pump. Such items are easily
removed.
1 Turn off the machine using the main power switch and unplug it
from the power outlet.
2 Remove the coarse filter and the fine filter.
3 Scoop out the water from the dishwasher tub.
4 In order to inspect the drain pump, remove the colored stop on the
right in the bottom drain.
