Cleaning and care
55
Checking the filters in the
wash cabinet
The filter combination in the base of the
wash cabinet retains coarse soil from
the suds solution. This prevents soiling
getting into the circulation system and
re-entering the wash cabinet through
the spray arms.
Damage due to soiling entering
the circulation system.
Without filters, soiling can enter the
circulation system and cause a
blockage.
Do not run a wash program without
the lower spray arm or without the
filters.
When cleaning the filters and spray
arms, make sure that coarse soiling
cannot get into the circulation
system.
Filters can become blocked by soiling
which collects over time. The level of
soiling and time it takes before the
filters need cleaning will vary depending
on use.
Monitor the condition of the filter
combination regularly and clean it if
necessary.
Cleaning the filters
Switch the dishwasher off.
Remove the lower spray arm (see
“Cleaning the spray arms” under
“Cleaning and care”).
Before removing the filter
combination, remove any coarse
soiling to prevent it from entering the
circulation system.
Remove the filter combination.
