Maintenance and 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....).

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.

9.Put the filter combination in place and lock by turning the handle clockwise to the stop. During this process ensure that the flat filter does not protrude above the base of the washing compartment.

Under no circumstances may the dishwasher be used without filters.

Incorrect repositioning and fitting of the filters will produce poor washing results.

Cleaning the filters

The filters in the base of the washing compartment are to a large extent self-cleaning. Nevertheless the filters should be checked and cleaned from time to time. Dirty filters will degrade the washing result.

1.Open the door, remove the lower basket.

2.The dishwasher filter system comprises a coarse/fine filter (A/B), a microfilter (C) and a flat filter (D).

Some dishwasher will only have a coarse filter (A), a microfilter (C) and a flat filter (D).

Unlock the filter system using the handle on the microfilter, and remove.

NEVER try to remove the upper spray arm.

If residues of soil have clogged the holes in the upper spray arm, remove them with a toothpick.

7.Put the flat filter (D) back in the base of the washing compartment.

8.Place the coarse/fine filter (A/B) in the microfilter (C) and press together.

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.
