Maintenance and cleaning

Internal cleaning

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

We recommend the use of Finish Dishwasher Cleaner every 3 months or run a 65°C wash without dishes using detergent. Regular use of Finish Dishwasher Cleaner cleans inaccessible parts, eliminates unpleasant food odours and helps prevent the build-up of limescale.

Cleaning the central filter

(After each wash)

Scraps of food may accumulate in the drain filter (A) and should be removed by rinsing the filter under running water.

To remove the drain filter

- simply pull it out by the handle.

Once cleaned, refit the filter by pushing it back to its original position until it engages.

The dishwasher must not be used without filters. Incorrect repositioning and fitting of the filters will produce poor washing results.

Cleaning the filters is vital to ensure correct operation of the machine.

Check that the SID 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.

Fasten it back onto the support by turning it clockwise.

Never use your dishwasher without the SID dispenser. Since SID also ensures correct distribution of the water to the upper spray arm, running the dishwasher

(Every week)

If necessary clean the large filter (B) on both sides under running water, using a brush.

To remove the large filter

1.Remove the spray arm by pulling it upwards on one side.

2.Turn the column (C) anticlockwise by 90° and then slide out the filter.

3.Once cleaned refit it following the above instructions in reverse order.

4.Ensure the filter is in its original position, the handle of the drain filter should be pointing towards the front of the appliance.
