Filter assembly
For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be cleaned. The filter efficiently removes food
particles from the wash water, allowing it to be recirculated during the cycle. For this reason, it is a good
idea to remove the larger food particles trapped in the filter after each wash cycle by rinsing the semicircular
filter and cup under running water. To remove the filter assembly, pull on the cup handle in the upward
direction. The entire filter assembly should be cleaned once a week. To clean the coarse filter and the micro
filter, use a cleaning brush. Then, reassemble the filter parts as shown in the figures above and reinsert the
entire assembly in the dishwasher, positioning in its seat and pressing downward. The dishwasher must
never be used without the filters. Improper replacement of the filter may reduce the performance level of the
appliance and damage dishes and utensils.
WARNING!
Never run the dishwasher without the filters in place. When cleaning the filters, don‘t knock on them.
Otherwise, the filters could be contorted and the performance of dishwasher could be debased.
Cleaning the Spray Arms
It is necessary to clean the spray arms regularly for hard water
chemicals will clog the spray arm jets and bearings. To remove
the spray arms, screw off the nut clockwise to take out the washer
on top of the spray arm and remove the arm. Wash the arms in
soapy and warm water and use a soft brush to clean the jets.
Replace them after rinsing thoroughly.
Caring for the Dishwasher
To clean the control panel, use a lightly dampened cloth then dry
thoroughly.
To clean the exterior, use a good appliance polish wax.
Never use sharp objects, scouring pads or harsh cleaners on any
part of the dishwasher.
Protect Against Freezing
If your dishwasher is left in an unheated place during the winter,
ask a service technical to:
1. Cut off electrical power to the dishwasher.
2. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet pipe from the water valve.
3. Drain water from the inlet pipe and water valve. (Use a pan to catch the water)
4. Reconnect the water inlet pipe to the water valve.
5. Remove the filter in the tub and the bottom and use a sponge to use up water in sump.
Cleaning the Door
To clean the edge around the door, you should use only a soft warm, damp rag. To prevent penetration of
water into the door lock and electrical components, do not use a spray cleaner of any kind.
Also, never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the outer surfaces because they will scratch the finish.
Some papers towels can also scratch or leave marks on the surface.
Follow these steps when there is foreign material in the doshwasher.
WARNING!
Never use a spray cleaner to clean the door panel for it could damage the door lock and electrical
components. It is not allowed to use the abrasive agent or some paper towel because of the risk of scratching
or leaving spots on the stainless steel surface.
