Maintenance and cleaning

Cleaning the ﬁlters

There are two ﬁlters, a coarse one and a ﬁne one which should be cleaned after every wash. Lift out these ﬁlters which are in the base of the dishwasher and wash under running water.

The dishwasher must not be used without the ﬁlters. Incorrect repositioning of the ﬁlters will produce poor wash results.

Cleaning of the ﬁlters is vital to ensure correct operation of the dishwasher.

Moving the dishwasher

If you have to move the dishwasher (you are moving house, etc):

1. Unplug it.

2.Turn off the water tap.

3.Remove the water inlet and discharge hoses.

Avoid tilting the dishwasher during transportation.

Cleaning the spray arm

The holes in the spray arm must be kept free of scraps for the efﬁciency of the washing action. Inspect the spray arm regularly. When thorough cleaning is necessary, remove the spray arm by unscrewing the nut anti-clock- wise, remove the washer and lift off the spray arm. Wash the spray arm with hot soapy water using a stiff brush if necessary to remove scraps.

Re-assemble carefully, making sure the nut is secure.

Cleaning the cabinet

Clean the outside surfaces of the appliance using a mild (non-abrasive) household cleaning product. Finish by removing remaining traces of the product with a damp cloth.

Do not use cleaning products which contain alcohol (spirits), thinners and similar substances.

If the dishwasher is not going to be used for some time, take the following precautions:

1. Unplug the dishwasher and turn off the water supply.

2.Fill up the rinse aid container.

3.Make sure the tub is clean by carrying out a wash programme (without any crockery) using Finish Dishwasher cleaner, then dry the inside thoroughly.

4.Leave the door ajar.

Cleaning the outer door

It is possible to remove the outer door from the plastic door in order to clean inside it if necessary.

1. Unscrew the screws that hold the guides in the upper corners of the plastic door.

2.The outer door should be supported when opened out in order to prevent the hinges from breaking off.

3.If necessary, the door can be removed completely by inserting a screwdriver or similar tool into the predrilled holes in the base of the housing to release the spring clips on the hinges.

When mounting the outer door, snap the hinges into place and screw the guides back.

Protecting the dishwasher against freezing

If the dishwasher is placed in an environment where the temperature sometimes falls below 0° C, there is a risk that the small amount of water which remains inside the parts of the dishwasher will freeze and damage it.

To prevent this you should:

1. Turn off the water supply to the dishwasher.

2.Remove the water inlet and discharge hoses.

3.Make sure that there is dishwasher salt in the salt container for the water softener.

The appliance is only to be used and stored indoors at normal room temperature. The manu- facturer accpets no responsibility for any frost damage.
