8. CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning your dishwasher is important to
maintain the machine’s service life
Ensure the water softening setting (If
available) is done correctly and the
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 program which runs at high
temperature and run the Dishwasher
empty. If this does not clean your
Dishwasher sufficiently, use a
cleaning agent designed for
dishwasher use.
• To extend the life of your dishwasher,
clean the appliance regularly.
• 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 there are any food
waste remains, or foreign objects on
the coarse and fine filters, remove them
and clean the filters thoroughly with
water.

• 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 running 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.
