8. CLEANING AND

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning your dishwasher is important to 

maintain the machine’s service life 

Make sure that the water softening setting 

(If available) is done correctly and correct 

amount of detergent is used to prevent 

limescale accumulation. Refill the salt 

compartment when the salt sensor light 

comes on. 
Oil and limescale may build up in your 

Dishwasher over time. If this occurs:
• Fill the detergent compartment

but do not load any dishes. Select

a programme which runs at high

temperature and run the Dishwasher

empty. If this does not clean your

Dishwasher sufficiently, use a

cleaning agent designed for use with

dishwashers.

• To extend the life of your dishwasher,

clean the appliance regularly on each

month

• Wipe the door seals regularly with a

damp cloth to remove any accumulated

residue or foreign objects.

8.1.  Filters

Clean the filters and spray arms at least 

once a week. If any food waste remains 

or foreign objects on the coarse and 

fine filters, remove them and clean them 

thoroughly with water.

a)

Micro Filter  

b)

  Coarse Filter

c)

Metal Filter

To remove and clean the filter combination, 

turn it counter clockwise and remove it by 

lifting it upwards 

(1)

.Pull the coarse filter out 

of the micro filter 

(2)

.Then pull and remove 

the metal filter 

(3)

.Rinse the filter with lots of 

water until it is free of residue. Reassemble 

the filters. Replace the filter insert, and 

rotate it clockwise 

(4)

• Never use your dishwasher without a

filter.

• Incorrect fitting of the filter will reduce

the washing effectiveness.

• Clean filters are necessary for proper

running of the machine.

8.2.  Spray arms

Make sure that the spray holes are not 

clogged and that no food waste or foreign 

object is stuck to the spray arms. If there is 

any clogging,remove the spray arms and 

clean them under water. To remove the 

upper spray arm undo the nut holding it in 

position by turning it clockwise and pulling 

it downwards. Make sure that the nut is 

properly tightened when refitting the upper

spray arm.
