Cleaning and Maintenance
WARNING:
Always turn off the appliance and disconnect it
from the power supply before cleaning and user
maintenance.
Allow the appliance to cool down enough before
cleaning.
Do not use steam cleaners for cleaning the appli-
ance; moisture could enter electrical components.
Risk of electric shock! Hot steam could damage
the plastic parts. The appliance must be dry be-
fore restarting operation.
CAUTION:
Do not use a wire brush or other sharp, abrasive
items.
Do not use any acidic or abrasive detergents.
NOTE:
Dirty filters and clogged spray arms degrade the
rinsing. Regularly check the filter and spray arms and
clean them if necessary.
Filter system
The three-part filter system pre-
vents larger amounts of food or
other objects from getting inside
the pump.
1 Main filter: food and soil particles trapped in this
filter are pulverized by a special jet on the lower
spray arm and washed down to drain.
2 Coarse filter: filters out larger items such as pieces
of bone or glass shards that could block the drain-
age.
3 Micro filter: filters dirt and food residues in the
sump area and prevents it from being redeposited on
the dishware during rinse cycle.
Cleaning the filter system
CAUTION:
The dishwasher must never be used without the
filter.
Improper replacement of the filter can reduce
performance and damage the appliance.
Do not knock out the filter for cleaning to avoid
possible deformations of the filters.
NOTE:
Check after each rinsing the filter for residues.
Turn the coarse filter counterclockwise and re-
move the whole filter system upwards.
Remove the coarse as well as the micro filter from
the main filter.
Remove leftover food and clean the filter under
running water. Use a soft brush for the coarse and
micro filter, if necessary.
Put the filter system properly in reverse order
together and reinstall in its provided position. Fix
the entire system, by tightening the filter unit
clockwise.
Cleaning the spray arms
Lime and impurities from the rinsing water can block
nozzles and bearings of the spray arms. Check the
outlet nozzles of the spray arms regularly for block-
ages.
Unscrew
the securing nut of
the upper spray and
pull off the arm downwards.
Pull off the lower spray arm upwards.
Clean the arms under running water; if neces-
sary, use a soft brush for the nozzles.
