Internal cleaning
Ensure that the seals around the door, the detergent and
rinse aid dispensers are cleaned regularly with a damp
cloth.
We recommend the use of Finish Dishwasher Cleaner
every 3 months or run a 65°C wash without dishes using
detergent. Regular use of Finish Dishwasher Cleaner
cleans inaccessible parts, eliminates unpleasant food
odours and helps prevent the build-up of limescale.
Cleaning the central filter
(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 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
(Every week)
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 and then slide
the whole part out. Refit the filter following the above
instructions in reverse order.
The dishwasher must not be used without
filters.
Incorrect repositioning and fitting of the
filters will produce poor washing results.
Cleaning the filters is vital to ensure correct
operation of the machine.
External cleaning
Clean the external surfaces of the machine and control
panel with a damp soft cloth. If necessary use only neutral
detergents. Never use abrasive products, scouring pads or
solvent (acetone, trichloroethylene etc....).
Prolonged periods of non-operation
If you are not using the machine for any period of time you
are advised to:
1. Unplug the appliance and then turn off the water.
2. Fill the rinse aid dispenser.
3. Leave the door ajar to prevent the formation of any
unpleasant smells.
4. Leave the inside of the machine clean.
Frost precautions
Avoid placing the machine in a location where the
temperature is below 0°C. If this is unavoidable, empty the
machine, close the appliance door, disconnect the water
inlet pipe and empty it.
Moving the machine
If you have to move the machine (moving house etc....):
1. Unplug it.
2. Turn the water tap off.
3. Remove the water inlet and discharge hoses.
4. Pull the machine out together with the hoses.
Avoid over tilting the machine during transportation.
