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 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 de-
grade the rinsing.
Filter system
The three-part filter system
prevents larger amounts of
food or other objects from get-
ting inside the pump.
A 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.
B Micro filter: filters dirt and food residues in the
sump area and prevents it from being redeposited on
the dishware during rinse cycle.
C Coarse filter: filters out larger items such as piec-
es of bone or glass shards that could block the
drainage.
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 filter unit (coarse/micro filter) counter-
clockwise and remove the whole filter system up-
wards.
Remove the filter unit from the main filter. Loosen
the coarse filter from the micro filter, by pushing it
from below side.
Remove leftover food and clean the filters under
running water. Use a soft brush, 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 lower spray arm
Lime and impurities from the
rinsing water can block nozzles
and bearings of the spray arm.
Check the outlet nozzles of the
spray arm regularly for block-
ages.
Pull off the spray arm upwards.
Clean the arm under running water; if necessary,
use a soft brush for the nozzles.
Insert the spray arm again until they click into
place.
