Cleaning and care

Cleaning the spray arms

Particles of food can lodge in the spray
arm jets.
The spray arms should be inspected
and cleaned regularly (approx. every 6
months). 

To do this remove the spray arms as fol-
lows.

Pull out the cutlery tray.

Unscrew the upper spray arm.

Lift up the middle spray arm 

b

 to en-

gage the tooth-wheel mechanism.
Then unscrew the spray arm 

c

.

Remove the lower basket and take
out the lower spray arm.

Using a sharp pointed object push
the food particles into the spray arm
jets and rinse well under running
water.

Please note:
After replacing the spray arms check
that they move freely.
