Cleaning the water inlet filter
A filter is incorporated in the screw thread to
protect the water intake valve. If the filter is
soiled, insufficient water flows into the wash
cabinet.
Risk of electric shock from mains
voltage.
The plastic housing of the water
connection contains an electrical valve.
The housing must not be dipped in water.
Disconnect the dishwasher from the
mains.
To do this, turn off the dishwasher, switch
off at the socket and unplug it.
Close the stopcock.
Unscrew the water intake valve.
Remove the seal from the screw thread.
Using combination or pointed pliers, take
hold of the plastic filter bar and remove
the filter.
Rinse the filter under running water.
Reassemble in reverse order.
Screw the screw thread securely back
onto the stopcock. Slowly turn on the
stopcock. If water drips out, tighten the
connection.
Never forget to put the filter back in place
after cleaning.
Cleaning the drain pump and non-
return valve
If the water has not been pumped away at
the end of a wash programme (excluding
the Super short programme), there may be a
foreign object blocking the drain pump or
the non-return valve. These are easy to
remove.
Disconnect the dishwasher from the
electrical supply (switch the machine off,
unplug it, or disconnect or disable the
circuit breaker).
Take the filter combination out of the wash
cabinet (see “Cleaning and care”).
Open the locking clamp.
Lift out the non-return valve and rinse well
under running water.
Make sure that the vent on the outside of
the non-return valve is not blocked (this
vent is only visible after the non-return
valve has been taken out). If it is blocked,
use a pointed object to release the
blockage.
The drain pump is situated under the non-
return valve (see arrow).
