cleaning after use
external care
the door and the door seal
• Clean the door seals regularly with a soft damp cloth to remove food deposits.
• When the dishwasher is being loaded, food and drink residues may drip onto the sides of the
dishwasher door. These surfaces are outside the wash cabinet and are not accessed by water
from the spray arms. Any deposits should be wiped off before the door is closed.
the control panel
If cleaning is required, the control panel should be wiped with a soft damp cloth ONLY.
• To avoid penetration of water into the door lock and electrical components, do not use a
spray cleaner of any kind.
• Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the outer surfaces because they may
scratch the finish. Some paper towels may also scratch or leave marks on the surface.
internal care
filtering system
The filtering system in the base of the wash cabinet retains coarse debris from the wash cycle. The
collected coarse debris may cause the filters to clog. Check the condition of the filters regularly and
clean them if necessary under running water.
Follow the steps below to clean the filters in the wash cabinet.
1. Ensure the dishwasher is switched off.
2. Turn the coarse filter anti-clockwise and gently lift it out.
3. Rinse all the filters under running water, including the filter cylinder, and then re-fit all filters in the
reverse order.
4. Gently re-screw the coarse filter in clockwise direction. There will be a slight click when located
correctly.
• Do not over tighten the filters. Put the filters back in the filter cylinder in sequence
securely, otherwise the residue could get into the system and cause a blockage.
• NEVER
use the dishwasher without the filters in place. Improper replacement of the filters
may reduce the performance level of the appliance and damage dishes and utensils.
• Perform an intensive wash cycle periodically.
