Maintenance and cleaning

Internal cleaning

Ensure that the seals around the door, the detergent and rinse aid dispensers are cleaned regularly with a damp cloth.

We recommend the use of Finish Dishwasher Cleaner every 3 months or run a 65°C wash without dishes using detergent. Regular use of Finish Dishwasher Cleaner cleans inaccessible parts, eliminates unpleasant food odours and helps prevent the build-up of limescale.

Cleaning the filters

The filters in the base of the washing compartment are to 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, microfilter and a flat filter.

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

3. Turn the handle about 1/4 a turn anticlockwise and remove.

4. Take hold of the coarse/fine filter (A - 1/2) (B - 1) by the handle with the hole and remove from the microfilter (A - 3) (B - 2).

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

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

External 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....).

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.

5.Clean all filters thoroughly under running water.

6.Remove the flat filter (A - 4) (B - 3) from the base of the washing compartment and clean both faces thoroughly.

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.

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

8.Place the coarse/fine filter in the microfilter and press together.
