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).
Front 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 programme with two
tablespoons of citric acid in the detergent compartment (with no dishes
in the machine). Special dishwasher cleaners are also available on the
market.
Unblocking the drainage pump
If the dishwasher still contains water after the programme has finished,
something may be blocking the drainage pump. Such items are easily
removed.
1. Turn off the machine using the main power switch and unplug it
from the wall socket.
2. Remove the coarse filter and the fine filter.
3. Scoop out the water from the dishwasher tub.
4. In order to inspect the drainage pump, remove the coloured stop
on the right in the bottom drain.
5. Turn the pump wheel located behind the drainage pump stop by
hand. Carefully remove any items.
6. Refit the drainage pump stop along with the fine and coarse filters.
7. Plug the machine in again.
If the dishwasher still does not start and a whirring sound is heard,
the overflow protection has been activated.
• Shut off the water.
• Remove the plug from the wall socket.
• Call the service department.
Drainage pump stop
NOTE!
Do not forget to refit the drainage pump stop.
Unblocking the inlet hose filter
If the water supply contains small particles, the outer filter on the inlet
hose may become blocked, which results in Water inlet fault.
1. Turn off the machine using the main power switch and unplug it
from the wall socket.
2. Turn off the water tap.
3. Unscrew the inlet hose.
4. Carefully remove the outer filter from the inlet hose and clean it.
5. Refit the filter and check that the gasket is correctly positioned.
6. Screw the inlet hose firmly into place.
7. Plug the machine into the wall socket and turn on the water tap.
Allow the pressure to settle for a while and check that the connection
is watertight.
