8.5 Maintenance by the Service Department
We recommend that you have an authorised service technician carry out the maintenance of the machine at
least once a year so that vulnerable parts can be checked and replaced accordingly. Original spare parts
must be used for repairs and the replacement of worn parts.
Worn parts are, for example:

Dosing tubes

Bearings of the spray arms

Hood seal

Water inlet hose
In the electronic control unit, the number of hours of operation or wash programmes before
servicing should be performed can be programmed and at what number of hours of operation
remaining the symbol for maintenance/service is displayed. If necessary, have this function
activated by an authorised service technician.
