Care and Maintenance A regular inspection and maintenance of your machine will help to prevent faults. This saves time and prevents future problems. Overall condition of the machine Never use a steam cleaner to clean your dishwasher. The manufacturer is not liable for any resulting damage. Regularly wipe the front of the appliance with a damp cloth - water and a small amount of liquid soap is adequate. Do not use sponges as they could scratch the surfaces. Stainless steel appliances: To prevent corrosion, do not use sponges. Clean the outer edges of the inside door panel regularly to remove debris that may collect from normal loading. If spots begin to appear on the stainless steel, make sure the rinse agent is full and functioning properly. WARNING Use caution when removing parts for cleaning as some debris may be sharp. Figure 10 Filters The filter system consists of a coarse filter, a flat fine filter and a micro filter. The filters keep large foreign objects in the rinsing water away from the pump. Foreign objects may occasionally block the filters. Check the filters for residue by: • Unscrew the filter cylinder as illustrated in Fig- ure 10-11 and take out the filter system. • Remove any residue and clean filters under running water. • Reinstall filter system in reverse sequence and ensure that the arrow marks are facing each other after locking it into place. Spray Arms Check spray arms for grease and limescale deposits. Figure 11 Figure 12 If you find such deposits: • Fill detergent dispenser with detergent and start the appliance without utensils in the cycle with the highest rinsing temperature (see wash cycle information table). • Clean the appliance with detergents/ appliance cleaners which are particularly suitable for use with dishwashers. • Unscrew the spray arms and inspect as shown in Figure 12. 18
