MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Cleaning the Central Filters
(After each wash)
Inspect the central filters (B) and (C) and remove any
scraps of food with a brush, under running water.
Filters (B) and (C) are both removed by lifting up the
outer one (B) (pulling the central funnel upwards); the
smaller filter (C) can then be removed by pressing the
two tongues (D).
Once cleaned, refit the filters by pressing them
down until they click into place.
Cleaning the Large Filter
(Once a month)
Clean the large filter (A) on both sides under running
water, using a brush.
To take it out, remove the spray arm by pressing the
two tongues (E), turn the ring (F) anticlockwise
(towards the left) and then slide the whole part out.
Refit the filter following the above instructions in
reverse order.
Caution: the dishwasher must not be used without
filters.
incorrect repositioning of the filters will produce
poor washing results.
Cleaning of the filters is vital to ensure correct
operation of the machine.
Internal and External Cleaning
You must ensure that the seals around the door, the
detergent and rinse aid dispensers are cleaned regu-
larly with a damp cloth.
We recommend you carryout a maintenance wash
every 3 months, by running a 65°C wash programme
without dishes using detergent.
Check that the spray arm nozzles are not obstructed.
To remove the bottom spray arm, release it from its
securing catches and pull it out. To clean the nozzles
of the top spray arm, slide out the top basket whereby
the spray arm will become accessible. To remove it,
withdraw the centre funnel by pressing the two side
tabs and unscrewing the retaining ring.
Wash the spray arms under running water and refit
them in place.
Clean the external surfaces of the machine and control
panel with a soft damp cloth. If necessary use only
neutral detergents. Never use abrasive products,
scouring pads or solvents (acetone, trichloroethylene
etc...)
Prolonged Periods of Non-Operation
If you are not using the machine for any period of time
you are advised to:
unplug the appliance and turn off the water;
fill the rinse aid dispenser;
leave the door ajar to prevent the formation of un-
pleasant smells;
leave the inside of the machine clean.
Frost Precautions
Avoid placing the machine in a location where the tem-
perature is below 0°C.
If this is unavoidable, empty the machine, close the
water inlet tap, disconnect the water inlet pipe and
empty it.
Moving the Machine
If you have to move the machine {you are moving
house ete...):
unplug it;
turn off the water tap;
remove the water inlet and discharge hoses;
pull the machine out together with the hoses.
Caution: avoid overtilting the machine during
transport.
