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.

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.

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.
