Maintenance and cleaning

General cleaning

Inspect the filters and spray arm nozzle before re-loading the dishwasher and remove any food scraps. Wipe round the rubber gasket at the bottom of the door to remove grease which tends to collect there.

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 washing results.

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

Cleaning the spray arm nozzle

The holes in the spray arm nozzle 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-clockwise, remove the washer and lift off the spray arm.

Wash the spray arm with hot soapy water using a stiff saucepan brush if necessary to remove scraps.

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

Cleaning the cabinet

Wipe the outside of the cabinet and control panel regularly with a soft damp cloth. When necessary, use washing up liquid to remove stubborn marks, rinse with a damp cloth and rub up with a soft duster.

Never use abrasive cleaners which could damage the surface, ie: scouring pads or solvents (acetone, trichlori- ethylene, etc).

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.

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.

Protecting the dishwasher against freezing

If the dishwasher is placed in an environment where the temperature sometimes fall 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- facture is not responsible for any frost damage.
