Electrolux BW450 - Spray Arms; Filters

15. and 16. Spray arms
Water is pumped at high pressure through holes in these arms to spray over
the dirty dishes. It is the spraying that is the mechanical action in the washing
process. The spray also causes the arms to rotate so that all parts of the wash
chamber are covered. It is important therefore that the holes are kept clear by
regularly removing the arms from the wash chamber and rinsing them under a
tap.
If a small load of bulky items or saucepans and dishes are to be washed, these
can be placed in the lower dish rack. The upper spray arm (15) should then be
reversed, (see Figure 6). To do this, unhook the upper spray arm from the
central support and refit it in a reverse position (i.e. with the holes on the
bottom). The reason for reversing the spray arm is that the wash efficiency is
improved because the bottom basket is being sprayed by both arms. No wash
action will take place in the upper basket while using the spray arm in the
reversed position. When the wash is complete, remember to replace the upper
spray arm to its original position (i.e. with the holes facing uppermost). To
remove the lower spray arm (16) simply press the two securing catches
together and lift the arm out of position.
17,18. and 19. Filters
Particles of food washed off the plates and dishes etc. are trapped by the
filters. Blocked filters reduce the wash efficiency of the machine. The filter
assembly consists of two small cone shaped filters (18) and (19), one fitting
within the other, both being housed in the large filter (Figure 7.) We
recommend that you inspect the two small filters (18) and (19) after each
wash cycle, removing any food scraps that you might detect.
The two cone shaped filters are removed together, simply by lifting them up.
To remove the inner filter (19), squeeze together the two small plastic tongues
sticking out from the bottom of the outer filter (18). To replace them, push
them back together until you feel them click.
The large fine-mesh filter (17) should be cleaned from time to time (on
average once every two months). Remember to clean both sides of this filter
using a suitable brush. To remove the large filter, take off the lower spray
arm (as described above). Tum the upper ring of the filter in an anti¬
clockwise direction and lift out of position. (’E’ - Figure 8).
To replace the filter, reverse the above procedure. Make sure that the outer
rim fits correctly in its housing at the bottom of the machine.
THE DISHWASHER SHOULD NOT BE OPERATED WITHOUT ALL
FILTERS BEING CORRECTLY INSTALLED.
