Maintenance Features
Regular maintenance is crucial for optimal performance and longevity of the appliance:
- Internal Cleaning: Clean the interior with a soft damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products, sharp tools, strong chemicals, scourers, or solvents. Wipe the door, including the rubber gasket, weekly. Use a dishwasher cleaning product every two months, or run the automatic cleaning programme.
- Filter Cleaning: The filter system consists of three parts. Disassemble and clean them manually. Incorrect filter position can lead to poor washing results and appliance damage.
- Spray Arm Cleaning: Regularly clean the lower and upper spray arms to prevent clogging. Remove the spray arms and wash them under running water, using a thin pointed tool (e.g., a toothpick) to remove soil particles from the holes.
- Salt Container: Ensure the cap is tight.
- Water Tap: Ensure it is open and not clogged.
- Inlet Hose: Ensure it is not clogged and has no kinks or bends.
- Sink Spigot: Ensure it is not clogged.
