Maintenance and cleaning
Internal cleaning
Ensure that the seals around the door, the detergent and rinse aid dispensers are cleaned regularly with a damp cloth.
We recommend every 3 months to run a 65°C wash programme without dishes using detergent.
Cleaning the central filter
(After each wash)
Scraps of food may accumulate in the drain filter (A)
and should be removed by rinsing the filter under running
water.
To remove the drain filter simply pull it out by the
handle.
Once cleaned, refit the filter by pushing it back to its
original position until it engages.
Cleaning the large filter
(Every week)
The dishwasher must not be used without filters. Incorrect repositioning and fitting of the filters will
produce poor washing results. Cleaning the filters is vital to ensure correct operation of the machine.
External cleaning
Clean the external surfaces of the machine and control panel with a damp soft cloth. If necessary use only
neutral detergents. Never use abrasive products, scouring pads or solvent (acetone, trichloroethylene etc....).
Prolonged periods of non-operation
If you are not using the machine for any period of time you are advised to:
1. Unplug the appliance and then turn off the water.
2. Fill the rinse aid dispenser.
3. Leave the door ajar to prevent the formation of any unpleasant smells.
4. Leave the inside of the machine clean.
Frost precautions
Avoid placing the machine in a location where the temperature is below 0°C. If this is unavoidable, empty the
machine, close the appliance door, disconnect the water inlet pipe and empty it.
Moving the machine
If you have to move the machine (moving house etc....):
1. Unplug it.
2. Turn the water tap off.
3. Remove the water inlet and discharge hoses.
4. Pull the machine out together with the hoses.
Avoid over tilting the machine during transportation.
