Clean the dishwasher inside and out
Door and door seal
Open the door. Clean the sides of the door and the door seal regularly with a slightly damp cloth.
Clean the door seal at the lower front edge of the dishwasher with a washing-up brush.
Display and buttons
Keep the display and the buttons clean. If necessary, wipe them with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
Never use cleaning products – they may scratch the surface.
Use the main power switch to switch off the dishwasher when cleaning the buttons to avoid activating
them inadvertently.
Dishwasher tub
The dishwasher tub is made of stainless steel and is kept clean through normal use (when used
regularly).
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 on the market.
Remove blockages
Unblocking the drainage pump
If the dishwasher still contains water after the program has finished, something may be blocking the
drainage pump. Such blockages 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.
