MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
PMA05GB
Cleaning the central filters
(After each wash)
Inspect the central filters (B) and (C) and remove any
scraps of food with a brush, under running water.
Filters (B) and (C) are both removed by lifting up the
outer one (B) (pulling the central funnel upwards); the
smaller filter (C) can then be removed by pressing the
two tongues (D).
Once cleaned, refit the filters by pressing them
down until they click into place.
Cleaning the large filter
(Once a month)
Clean the large filter (A) on both sides under running
water, using a brush. To take it out, remove the spray
arm by pressing the two tongues (E), turn the ring (F)
anticlockwise (towards the left) and then slide the
whole part out. Refit the filter following the above
instructions in reverse order.
Caution: the dishwasher must not be used without
filters.
Incorrect repositioning of the filters will produce
poor washing results.
Cleaning of the filters is vital to ensure correct
operation of the machine.
Internal and external cleaning
You must ensure that the seals around the door, the
detergent and rinse aid dispensers are cleaned regu-
larly with a damp cloth.
We recommend the use of Dishwasher Cleaner every
3 months, or run a 65°C wash programme without
dishes using detergent.
Clean the external surfaces of the machine and control
panel with a soft damp cloth. If necessary use only
neutral detergents. Never use abrasive products,
scouring pads or solvents (acetone, trichloroethylene
etc...).
Check that the spray arm nozzles are not obstructed.
To remove the bottom spray arm, release it from its
securing catches and pull it out. To clean the nozzles
of the top spray arm, slide out the top basket whereby
the spray arm will become accessible. If you need to
remove it, take away the SID dispenser (see instruc-
tions below) and unscrew the retaining nut.
Check that the Super In-
tensity Dispenser (SID) is
not clogged with detergent
residue or soil .
If necessary, rinse it under
running water after having
removed it from the basket
by twisting it anti- clock-
wise and pulling it
upwards.
Refit the dispenser by following the above instructions
in reverse order. Fasten it back onto the support by
turning it clockwise.
Important: Never use your dishwasher without the
SID dispenser.
Since SID also ensures correct distribution of the
water to the upper spray arm, running the dishwasher
without it will impair the washing results.
