Cleaning
Cleaning
The dishwasher’s inner container is made of
stainless steel and is kept clean through
normal use. However, if you have calciferous
(hard) water, lime deposits can form in the
dishwasher. In this case, run a normal wash
program with two tablespoons of citric acid in
the dishwasher detergent compartment.
Coarse filter
The coarse filter collects large food par-
ticles which cannot get past the outflow
pump. Lift out and empty the coarse filter as
necessary. Don’t forget to replace it!
Fine filter
The residue collected on the fine filter is
automatically rinsed off with each wash.
The fine filter should still be cleaned once
or twice a year.
1. Remove the fine filter by first turning the
filter’s tubular strainer anti-clockwise and
then lifting the tubular strainer and the
coarse filter straight up.
2. Clean with a dishwashing brush. Ensure
that the edges are properly sealed when
replacing the fine filter.
Drainage pump
The pump can be accessed from the inside
of the machine.
1. Always remove the plug from the wall
socket before you clean the pump.
2. Remove the coarse screen first by
pressing together the two lugs and pulling
the screen upwards.
3. Now loosen the tubular part of the screen
by turning it anticlockwise and removing the
fine screen.
4. Finally remove the small adapter to the
left of the bottom drain.
5. It’s possible, by inserting your finger in
the hole, to turn the pump impeller and
remove any blockage.
6. Refit the adapter and screens.
7. Insert the plug in the wall socket.
