Care and cleaning
Coarse filter
The coarse filter traps larger food particles, which cannot get past the
drainage 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 anticlockwise.
2 Lift the filter straight up using the handle. Free 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 sometimes become blocked. Remove any
debris using a pin or the like. The spray arms also have holes
underneath.
To facilitate cleaning you can remove the spray arms. Remember to
fit them firmly back into place afterwards.
Upper spray arm
1 Pull out the upper basket.
2 Unscrew the spray arm bearings counterclockwise to remove the
spray arm from the upper basket.
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 Replace 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.
