AEG 5071 manual Cleaning the Filter

Operating instructions

Cleaning the Filter

3The 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.
0 1.	Open the door, remove the lower
	rack.
2.	The dishwasher filter system com-
	prises a coarse/fine filter, microfilter
	and a flat filter. Unlock the filter sys-
	tem using the handle on the microfil-
	ter, and remove.
3.	Turn the handle about ¼ a turn anti-
	clockwise and remove.
4.	Take hold of the coarse/fine filter (1)
	by the handle with the hole and
	remove from the microfilter (2)
5.	Clean all filters thoroughly under
	running water.
6.	Remove the flat filter (3) from the
	base of the washing compartment
	and clean both faces thoroughly
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.
9.	Put the filter combination in place
	and lock by turning the handle clock-

wise to the stop. During this process ensure that the flat filter does not protrude above the base of the wash- ing compartment.

1Under no circumstances may the dishwasher be used without filters.
