Cleaning the drain filters and spray arms

21

Regular inspection and maintenance of your dishwasher helps to prevent problems from occurring. You should carefully inspect your dishwasher regularly. Check that no grease or scale has accumulated on the inside of your dishwasher. If you discover any deposits, clean them thoroughly with warm water on a soft, lint-free cloth.

Filters	Fig. 10 Removing the micro-filter (Filter A)
The filters A and B prevent larger particles of food in
the water from reaching the pump. These particles may
occasionally block the filters. We recommend that the drain
filter is cleaned whenever there is evidence of food particles.
When the dishwasher has finished washing, check the filters
for particles of food and, if required, clean.
After removing the coarse micro-filter (filter A), the filter unit
(filter B) can be removed. Remove any particles of food and
rinse the filters under running water.
Replace the filter unit (B) and then the coarse micro-filter (A).	Fig. 11 Removing the filter unit (Filter B)
Ensure that the micro-filter is tightened firmly.
Spray arms
Lime and remnants of food in the wash water can block the
nozzles in the spray arms and the arm mountings
The spray arms and mountings may need cleaning about
once a month in normal use or more often should the need	D
arise:
Inspect the nozzles in the spray arms for blocked holes.
If necessary, unscrew the lower arm (C) and lift it off. Unscrew
the upper spray arm (D).
Clean both spray arms under running water.
Refit the spray arms. Ensure that the lower spray arm is locked
into place and the upper one is screwed tightly.
Important !	C
The dishwasher must be used with the filter plate, drain filter and
spray arms correctly in place. Where there is broken crockery or
glass in the dishwasher, carefully and immediately remove it to
prevent damage.
