filter after each washing programme by rinsing the semi-circular filter
and cup under running water. To remove the filter assembly, pull the
cup handle upwards. The entire filter assembly should be cleaned
once a week. To clean the coarse filter and the micro filter, use a
cleaning brush. Then, reassemble the filter parts as shown in the
figures above and reinsert the entire assembly in the dishwasher,
positioning them in place and pressing downward. The dishwasher
must never be used without the filters. Improper replacement of the
filter may reduce the performance level of the appliance and damage
dishes and utensils.
WARNING!
Never run the dishwasher without the filters in place. When cleaning
the filters, don't hit them. Otherwise, the filters could be contorted
and the performance of dishwasher could be debased.
Cleaning the Spray Arms
It is necessary to clean the spray arms
regularly as hard water chemicals will clog
the spray arm jets and bearings.
To remove the spray arms, screw off the nut
clockwise to take out the washer on top of
the spray arm and remove the arm. Wash
the arms in soapy and warm water and
use a soft brush to clean the jets. Replace
them after rinsing them thoroughly.
Caring for the dishwasher
To clean the control panel, use a lightly dampened cloth then dry it
thoroughly.
To clean the exterior, use a good appliance polish wax.
Never use sharp objects, scouring pads or harsh cleaners on any
part of the dishwasher.
Protect Against Freezing
If your dishwasher is left in an unheated location during the winter,
ask a service technical to:
1. Cut off electrical power to the dishwasher.
2. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet pipe from
the water valve.
3. Drain the water from the inlet pipe and water valve (you can use a
pan to catch the water).
4. Reconnect the water inlet pipe to the water valve.
5. Remove the filter in the tub and the bottom and use a sponge to
collect water in the sump.

Cleaning the Door
To clean the edge around the door, you should only use a soft, warm,
damp cloth. To prevent water penetration into the door lock and
electrical components, do not use a spray cleaner of any kind.
Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the outer surfaces
as they will scratch the finish. Some paper towels can also scratch or
leave marks on the surface.
WARNING!
Never use a spray cleaner to clean the door panel as it could damage
the door lock and electrical components. Do not use an abrasive
agent or paper towels as you risk scratching or leaving spots on the
stainless steel surface.

How to Keep Your Dishwasher in Shape

After every wash
After every wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance and leave
the door slightly ajar so that moisture and odours are not trapped
inside.
Remove the plug
Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the plug
from the socket. Do not take any unnecessary risks.
No solvents or abrasive cleaning
To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not
use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. Use only a cloth and
warm, soapy water. To remove spots or stains from the surface of the
interior, use a cloth dampened with water and a little white vinegar or
a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.
When you go on holiday
When you go on holiday, it is recommended that you run a washing
programme with the dishwasher empty and then remove the plug
from the socket, turn off the water supply and leave the door of the
appliance slightly ajar. This will help the seals last longer and prevent
odours from forming in the appliance.
Moving the appliance
If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in the vertical position.
If absolutely necessary, it can be positioned on its back.
Seals
One of the cause for dishwasher odours is food that remains trapped
in the seals. Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this.
