Cleaning and care
Cleaning the spray arms
Particles of food can get stuck in the
spray arm jets and bearings. The spray
arms should therefore be inspected
regularly (approx. every 2–4 months).
Do not run a wash programme
without the lower spray arm or
without the filters fitted.
Switch the dishwasher off.
Take out the cutlery tray (if your
dishwasher is fitted with one).
Push the upper spray arm upwards to
engage the inner ratchet. Then
unscrew the spray arm by rotating the
screw thread anti-clockwise
(overhead perspective).
Rotate the screw thread of the middle
spray arm clockwise (overhead
perspective)
(see diagram) and
remove the spray arm
.
Remove the lower basket.
Rotate the screw thread of the lower
spray arm anti-clockwise
and pull
the spray arm upwards to remove
.
Use a pointed object to push food
particles stuck in the jets into the
spray arm.
Rinse the spray arm thoroughly under
running water.
Refit the upper and middle spray
arms.
Refit the lower spray arm and ensure
that the filter combination lies flat in
the base of the wash cabinet.
Rotate the screw thread of the lower
spray arm clockwise until the arrow in
the viewing window points
to the
lock symbol
.
Make sure the spray arms can rotate
freely.
