Zanussi DE 4554 S manual Maintenance and cleaning, Cleaning the filters, Frost precautions

Maintenance and cleaning

Clean the external surfaces of the machine and control panel with a damp soft cloth. If necessary use only neutral detergents. Never use abrasive products, scouring pads or solvent (acetone, trichloroethylene etc....).

Ensure that the seals around the door, the detergent and rinse aid dispensers are cleaned regularly with a damp cloth.

Under no circumstances may the dishwasher be used without filters.

Incorrect repositioning and fitting of the filters will produce poor washing results.

We recommend every 3 months to run a 65°C wash programme without dishes using detergent.

Cleaning the filters

The 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.

1.	Open the door, remove the lower basket.
2.	The dishwasher filter system comprises a coarse/fine filter

NEVER try to remove the upper spray arm.

If residues of soil have clogged the holes in the upper spray arm, remove them with a toothpick.

Some dishwasher models filter system comprises only a

coarse filter (A), a microfilter (C) and a flat filter (D).

Check that the WRD is not clogged with detergent residue. If necessary rinse it under running water after having removed it from the basket by twisting it anticlockwise and pulling it upwards.

and remove.

Never use your dishwasher without the WRD dispenser. Since WRD also ensures correct distribution of the water to the upper spray arm, running the dishwasher without it will impair the washing results.
