Cleaning and care

Cleaning the drain pump and non-return valve.

Use caution when cleaning the fil- ters, non-return valve or drain pump, as glass or bone splinters may be caught in the bottom of the wash cabinet.

If the water in the dishwasher is not completely drained at the end of a pro- gramme, the drain pump or non-return valve may be blocked. To clean them:

Remove the combination filter.

Use a jug or bowl to scoop water out of the wash cabinet.

Tilt the locking clamp to the side.

Pull out the non-return valve.

Rinse the non-return valve under run- ning water.

The drain pump is situated under the non-return valve (see arrow).

Before replacing the non-return valve, check to make sure that nothing is ob- structing the drain pump. Spin the propeller several times in both direc- tions; it should turn smoothly.

Carefully replace the non-return valve and secure it with the locking clamp.

Replace and secure the combination filter.
