Care and Cleaning

Unplug the appliance.

Beforecarryingoutanycleaningor maintenance on the dishwasher, always remove the plug from the electricitysocket.

The filter assembly.

If you want consistent good results from your dishwasher, you need to clean the filter assembly. The food particles are removed from the wash water, allowing it to be recirculated during the cycle, filtered perfectly. For this reason it is a good idea to remove the larger food particles trapped in the inside the semi-circular filter "A" and the cup "C" after each wash; to remove the filter assembly pull the cup handle upwards. All you need to do is rinse them under running water.

The entire filter assembly should be cleaned thoroughly once a month: semi-circular filter "A" + cup "C" + cylindrical filter "B" + microfilter "D".

Reassemble the filter parts (as shown in the figure) and reinsert the whole assembly into the dishwasher. Position it into its housing and press downwards.

The dishwasher is not to be used without filters. Improper replacement of the filters may reduce the efficincy of the wash and even damage your dishwasher.
