Care and cleaning

Cleaning the strainer

The filter plate is designed to be self cleaning but occasionally food scraps may collect. Sweep these into the strainer before emptying.

The strainer should be regularly checked and removed for cleaning, if necessary.

1 Unclip the strainer from the filter by squeezing the tabs together and lifting.

2Empty, rinse under water and replace.

Cleaning the dishwasher

Cleaning the strainer

The area around the outside of the seal and door may need wiping down from time to time.

Use a mild soapy solution and wipe over with a damp cloth.

Let the Dishwasher cool down before touching inside metal.

We do not recommend the use of abrasive, solvent or alkaline cleaners as they may damage the surface finishes of the Dishwasher.

Cleaning the spray arms

1Unload both Dishwasher baskets and slide them out. The top basket requires the two front rail clips on the slides to be removed before the basket can be pulled out.

2To remove the rail clips press the top plastic tabs together and slide up. Once the front two rail clips have been removed the top basket will slide out.

3Turn the spray arm cap in the ‘unlock’ direction (anti-clockwise) and lift off.

4Remove the spray arm.

5Shake out all foreign particles, rinse under water and replace the spray arm back into the Dishwasher.

6Ensure each spray arm has the side with most holes in it facing in the UPWARD direction. The top spray arm is plastic and the stainless steel spray arm is the lower.

7Replace the spray arm cap and turn in the ‘lock’ direction (clockwise).

Holiday time

If the Dishwasher is not to be used for some time, follow these steps:

1Ensure the baskets are empty.

2Leave the inside of the Dishwasher clean.

3Leave the door ajar to allow air to circulate.

4Turn off BOTH the electricity and water supply to the Dishwasher.
