Maintenance Features

Regular inspection and maintenance are crucial for the appliance's longevity and performance.

After Every Wash: Leave the door slightly ajar to prevent moisture and odours.
Cleaning:
- Exterior and Rubber Parts: Use a cloth with warm soapy water. Avoid solvents or abrasive cleaning products.
- Interior: Use a cloth dampened with water and white vinegar or a dishwasher-specific cleaning product.
- Seals: Periodically clean with a damp sponge to prevent food residue and odours.
Filters (8, 9): Located at the bottom of the dishwasher, they prevent food particles from reaching the pump. They should be checked and cleaned regularly by removing the coarse micro-filter (8) and then the filter unit (9), rinsing them under running water, and reassembling.
Spray Arms (10, 11): Inspect nozzles for blockages from food residue. The lower arm (11) can be pulled upwards and lifted off, while the upper arm (10) can be unscrewed. Clean both under running water and refit securely. Ensure power supply is off before cleaning internal parts.
Moving the Appliance: Keep in a vertical position if possible; if necessary, it can be positioned on its back.
Holiday Care: Run an empty wash cycle, unplug, turn off water supply, and leave the door slightly ajar to preserve seals and prevent odours.

Troubleshooting: The manual provides solutions for common issues such as the appliance not starting, error displays (E2, E3, E4, E5, E6), problems with spray arm rotation, detergent dispenser issues, water remaining in the appliance, unusual foam, and poor wash/drying results. For persistent issues or specific error codes (E2, E6), contacting an authorised service centre is recommended.

Disposal: Old appliances should be made inoperable by unplugging, cutting the power cable, and removing the door lock to prevent children from being trapped. Packaging materials should be recycled.
