Maintenance and Cleaning
Cleaning the Filter
To clean the coarse filter and the fine filter, use a cleaning brush. Reassemble the filter parts as shown in
the figures on the last page and reinsert the entire assembly in the dishwasher, positioning it in its seat and
pressing downwards.
Warning: When cleaning the filters, don't knock on them. Otherwise, the filters could be contorted and the
performance of the dishwasher could be decreased.
Caring for the Dishwasher
The control panel can be cleaned by using a lightly dampened cloth. After cleaning, make sure to dry it
thoroughly.
For the exterior, use a good appliance polish wax. Never use sharp objects, scouring pads or harsh
cleaners on any part of the dishwasher.
Cleaning the Door
To clean the edge around the door, you should use only a soft warm,
damp cloth. To avoid penetration of water into the door lock and
electrical components, do not use a spray cleaner of any kind.
Warning: Never use a spray cleaner to clean the door panel as it may
damage the door lock and electrical components. Abrasive agents or
some paper towels should not be used because of the risk of scratching or leaving spots on the stainless
steel surface.
Protect Against Freezing
Please take frost protection measures on the dishwasher in winter. Every time after washing cycles, please
operate as follows:
1. Cut off the electrical power to the dishwasher.
2. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet pipe from the water valve.
3. Drain the water from the inlet pipe and water valve. (Use a pan to gather the water)
4. Reconnect the water inlet pipe to the water valve.
5. Remove the filter at the bottom of the tub and use a sponge to soak up water in the sump.
Note: If your dishwasher cannot work because of ice, please contact professional service persons.
Cleaning the Spray Arms
It is necessary to clean the spray arms regularly for hard water chemicals will
clog the spray arm jets and bearings.
•
To remove the upper spray arm, hold the nut, rotate the arm clockwise
to remove it.
•
To remove the lower spray arm, pull out the spray arm upward.
• Wash the arms in soapy and warm water and use a soft brush to clean
the jets. Replace them after rinsing them thoroughly.

How to Keep Your Dishwasher in Shape
After Every Wash
After every wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance and leave the door slightly open so that
moisture and odours are not trapped inside.
Remove the Plug
Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the plug from the socket.
No Solvents or Abrasive Cleaning
To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products.
Only use a cloth with warm soapy water.
To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use a cloth dampened with water and a little
vinegar, or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.
When not in Use for a Long Time
It is recommended that you run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and then remove the plug from the
socket, turn off the water supply and leave the door of the appliance slightly open. This will help the door
seals to last longer and prevent odours from forming within the appliance.
Moving the Appliance
If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in the vertical position. If absolutely necessary, it can be
positioned on its back.
Seals
One of the factors that cause odours to form in the dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the seals.
Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this from occurring.
