Cleaning and maintenance instructions

• Your dishwasher comes with a self-cleaning

pulse filter that constantly filters small
particles of dirt trapped in the washing bath.

The filter and the main filter cannot be
dismantled as the cleaning arm constantly
cleans them.

Regularly clean the waste trap (Fig. 14). Pull
the handle, remove the residue with a brush
and clean with tap water. Put back in to its
housing making sure you clip it down
properly.

Clean as necessary

• Underneath the filters, around the door and

the door joint with a damp sponge to remove
any deposit.

•

Use only soap and water for the bodywork
and control board.

Do not clean with abrasive powders,
scouring pads, spirit-based products or
solvent.
Use preferably a cloth or a sponge.

• If you have stainless steel door you may use

products adapted for stainless steel. See the
manufacturer’s instructions for advice on their
use.

Every year

To maintain your machine in perfect working
order you should clean it once or twice a year.
Run an intensive programme with the machine
empty and a special dishwasher cleaning
product available from any reputable dealer.

Prolonged period of non-use

Clean your machine completely then unplug
the electricity supply and close the water tap.
Keep the appliance at a temperature above
freezing.
