oUse the shorter and lower temperature cycles for everything but the dirtiest dishes. Shorter cycles use less energy and work just as well. Modern detergents also work just as well at lower temperatures.
Cleaning and maintenance
IMPORTANT: The appliance should be disconnected from your mains supply before commencing any cleaning process.
The filter system
Your appliance is fitted with three levels of filtering; these are located in the base of the dishwasher for ease of access.
1)Main filter
2)Coarse filter
3)Fine filter
Main filter- Food and soil particles are trapped by this filter and pulverised by a special jet on the lower spray arm. This debris is then washed down the drain.
Coarse filter- Larger items such as pieces of bone or glass, which could clog the drain, are trapped in this filter.
Fine filter- This filter holds soil and food residue in the sump area and prevents it from being redeposited on the dishes during a wash cycle.
IMPORTANT: Whilst the filtering system is efficient, your dishwasher is not a waste disposal unit. All items being washed inside of the dishwasher should have food scraps removed from them before being loaded into the appliance.
