Cleaning and care

Cleaning the filters in the wash cabinet

The filter combination in the base of the wash cabinet retains coarse soil from the suds solution, preventing it accessing the circulation system and re-entering the cabinet through the spray arms.

,

The dishwasher must not be used without all the filters in place.

Collection of coarse soil may cause the filters to clog. The level of soiling and time it takes before the filters need cleaning will vary depending on use.

Check the condition of the filters regularly and clean them if necessary.

^ Switch the dishwasher off.

^ Turn the handle anti-clockwise to release the filter combination a.

^ Lift the filter combination out of the dishwasher b. Remove any coarse particles and rinse the filter well under running water. Use a nylon brush if necessary.

Cleaning and care

To clean the inside of the filter, the flap must be opened:

^ Press together the catches in the direction of the arrows a as shown, and open the filter b.

^ Rinse all the filters under running water.

^ Then close the flap so that the catch engages.

^ Replace the filter combination so that it lies flat in the base of the wash cabinet.

^ Then turn the handle clockwise to lock the filter combination in place.

,

Take care when you are fitting the filter combination that it is secured in position correctly.

Otherwise coarse soil could get into the circulation system and cause a blockage.
