If the appliance is not in use for an extended peri-
od, disconnect it from the power supply!
Unloading the dishwasher
CAUTION:
Let the dishware cool down for about 15 minutes
before unloading. Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks.
NOTE:
At the end of program there could be still water drops
inside the appliance.
Open the appliance door and pull out the basket.
To avoid water dripping from the upper basket
onto the dishes in the lower basket, it is advisable
to unload the appliance from the bottom up.
Energy saving tips
Always try to operate the dishwasher when it is
fully loaded.
Do not rinse the dishes in advance under running
water.
Use for each type of load the most appropriate
rinse program.
Do not perform a pre-rinse (depending on model),
if not necessary.
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.
