Use only a cloth dampened with warm water to clean around the rim of the door. Do not use spray cleaners
to prevent water from penetrating the door lock or electrical components. Also do not use any abrasive
cleaners or abrasive powders that could scratch the surface of the appliance. Even some paper towels can
leave traces on the surface or scratches.
Cleaning the interior of the dishwasher

Accumulation of grease and limescale can occur inside the dishwasher. In this case,
clean the dishwasher as follows: Fill the detergent dispenser, select a washing program
with high temperature and start the program without putting in any dishes. If this
procedure is ineffective, use special detergents for cleaning dishwashers.

WARNING
•
Regular filter cleaning ensures optimum performance and washing results. The filter
effectively captures particles from the wash water and allows the recycling of water
during the cycle.
•
The dishwasher must never be used without a filter!
Improper insertion of the filter
may reduce the performance of the appliance and damage dishes and utensils.
•
Do not tap on the filter when cleaning it. Deformed filter negatively affects the functionality of the
appliance.

Regular cleaning of the spray arms of chemicals from hard water is important
because emerging limescale clogs jets and bearings. You can remove the
upper spray arm by unscrewing the nut at the top of the arm. Remove the
bottom arm by pulling it upward. Rinse the spray arms in warm water and
clean the jets with a fine brush. After thorough rinsing put the arms back.
