Care and Maintenance
A regular inspection and maintenance of your machine will help to prevent faults. This saves time and
prevents future problems.
Overall condition of the machine
Never use a steam cleaner to clean your dishwasher. The manufacturer is
not liable for any consequential damage.
Regularly wipe the front of the appliance with a damp cloth - water and a
small amount of liquid soap is adequate. Do not use sponges with a rough
surface or abrasive detergents, as these could scratch the surfaces.
Stainless steel appliances: To prevent corrosion, avoid using sponge
cloths.
Clean the outer edges of the inside door panel regularly to remove debris
that may collect from normal loading. If spots begin to appear on the stain-
less steel, make sure the rinse agent is full and functioning properly.
Filters
The filter system consists of a coarse filter, a flat fine filter and a micro fil-
ter. The filters keep large foreign objects in the rinsing water away from the
pump. Foreign objects may occasionally block the filters.
Check the filters for residue by:
• Unscrew the filter cylinder as illustrated in
Figure 17-18
and take out the
filter system.
• Remove any residue and clean filters under running water.
• Reinstall filter system in reverse sequence and ensure that the arrow
marks are facing each other after locking it into place.
Spray Arms
Check spray arms for grease and limescale deposits.
If you find such deposits:
• Fill detergent dispenser with detergent and start the appliance without
utensils in the cycle with the highest rinsing temperature (see wash cycle
information table).
• Clean the appliance with detergents/ appliance cleaners which are par-
ticularly suitable for use with dishwashers.
• Unscrew the spray arms and inspect as shown in
Figure 19
.
Waste water pump
Large food remnants in the rinsing water not retained by the filters may
block the waste water pump. the rinsing water does not get pumped out
and covers the filters.
In this case:
• Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
• Remove the filters.
• Scoop out standing water - use a sponge if necessary.
• Using a spoon, pry off the pump cover (see
Figure 20-21
) until it clicks,
then grip the cover and pull upward until it resists and then pull forward.
• Check inner compartment and remove any foreign objects.
• Place cover in the original position, press down and engage.
• Reinstall filters.
