PART 6: MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Filtration system
The fi lter prevents food remains or other foreign items from entering the pump.
Food remains may clog the fi lter and in such a case it is necessary to take it out.
The fi ltration system consists of a coarse fi lter, a fl at (main) fi lter and a micro-fi lter (fi ne fi lter).
1 Main fi lter
Food remains and soils caught by this fi lter are pulverised by a special jet on the bottom spraying arm and
fl ushed down the drain.
2 Coarse fi lter
Larger parts, e.g. bits of bone or glass, which could clog the drain are stopped by the coarse fi lter. Remove
the soils caught by this fi lter by taking the fi lter out - gently press the plug on the top of this fi lter and lift it
up.
3 Fine fi lter
This fi lter stops the remains of soils and food in the area of the water tank and prevent the remains from
returning back to the area of the dishwasher during the wash.
Installing the fi lter
The fi lter eff ectively removes food remains from the water used to wash the dishes and so this water can
be used repeatedly during the wash. You will achieve better wash results if you regularly clean out the fi lter.
For this reason it is better to remove the food remains from the fi lter after every wash by fl ushing out the
semi-circular fi lter and containers under running water. Take out the fi lter by pulling upwards on the container
handle.
WARNING!
•
Never use the dishwasher without a fi lter.
• An incorrectly seated fi lter may lower the effi ciency of the dishwasher and cause damage to
dishes.
