Care and Maintenance...

Before carrying out any work, always disconnect the dishwasher from the electrical power supply.

Regular inspection and maintenance helps to prevent problems from occurring. You should therefore carefully inspect the inside of your dishwasher from time to time.

Overall condition of appliance.

-Clean the outer surfaces and door lining of the dishwasher regularly using a soft cloth moistened with water or with a detergent which is suitable for painted surfaces. Clean he door gaskets with a damp sponge. Avoid the use of acidic or abrasive detergents.

-Periodically (once or twice a year) it is advisable to clean the tank and gaskets, using a soft cloth and water to remove any deposits.

-Check that no grease or scale has accumulated on the inside of the dishwasher.

If you discover any deposits:

-Clean the interior of the dishwasher thoroughly with a detergent solution.

Cleaning the Filter Unit.

The filters prevent large particles of food in the water from reaching the pump. These particles may occasionally block the filters.

-It is advisable to periodically check the centre filter ‘C’ and if necessary to clean it. To remove the filter, grip the tabs, turn anticlockwise and lift upwards.

-Separate the two parts which make up the plastic filter by pressing the body of the filter in the position shown by the arrows.

-Remove the centre filter by lifting it upwards.

The filters should be cleaned carefully under running water using a stiff brush.

-Carefully replace the filters by following the above instructions in reverse order.

Cleaning the Water Intake Filter.

The water intake filter, located at the outlet of the water supply tap, needs to be cleaned periodically.

Turn OFF the water supply tap, unscrew the water intake hose to remove from the tap. Clean the filter carefully, under running water. Relocate the filter and carefully screw the water intake hose onto the tap.

-Push the centre filter ‘D’ from the underside to remove it from the micro- filter.
