Important
Make sure that the machine is unplugged and the water
turned off before undertaking any kind of maintenance.
General cleaning
Inspect the filters and spray arm nozzle before re-loading
the machine and remove any food scraps. Wipe round
the rubber gasket at the bottom of the door to remove
grease which tends to collect there.
Cleaning the filters
There are two filters, a coarse one and a fine one which
should be cleaned after every wash. Lift out these filters
which are in the base of the dishwasher and wash under
running water.
The dishwasher must not be used without the
filters. Incorrect repositioning of the filters will
produce poor washing results.
Cleaning of the filters is vital to ensure correct
operation of the machine.
Cleaning the spray arm nozzle
The holes in the spray arm nozzle must be kept free of
scraps for the efficiency of the washing action.
Inspect the spray arm regularly. When thorough cleaning
is necessary, remove the spray arm by unscrewing the
nut clockwise (it has a left-handed thread) and lift off the
spray arm.
Wash the spray arm with hot soapy water using a stiff
saucepan brush if necessary to remove scraps.
Re-assemble carefully, making sure the nut is secure.
Cleaning the cabinet
Wipe the outside of the cabinet and control panel regularly
with a soft damp cloth. When necessary, use liquid kitchen
or household cleaner to remove stubborn marks, rinse with
a damp cloth and rub up with a soft duster.
Never use abrasive cleaners which could damage the
surface, ie: scouring pads or solvents (acetone, trichlori-
ethylene, etc).
If the machine is not going to be used for some time, take
the folllowing precautions:
1. Unplug the machine and turn off the water supply.
2. Fill up the rinse aid container.
3. Make sure the tub is clean by carrying out a wash
programme (without any crockery) using Finish
Dishwasher cleaner, then dry the inside thoroughly.
4. Leave the door ajar.
Moving the machine
If you have to move the machine (you are moving
house, etc):
1. Unplug it.
2. Turn off the water tap.
3. Remove the water inlet and discharge hoses.
Avoid tilting the machine during transportation.
Protecting the machine against freezing
If the machine is kept in a place where the temperature
may sometimes fall below 0°C, there is a risk that the
small amount of water which remains inside parts of the
machine after normal use will freeze and damage it.
To prevent this you should:
1. Turn off the water supply to the machine and
disconnect the water intake hose from the
supply pipe.
2. Select a wash programme, start the machine
and let the programme run for a short time.
