Cleaning the Spray Arms
It is necessary to clean the spray arms regularly as hard water chemicals will clog the spray arm jets and bearings. To remove the
spray arm, screw off the nut to take out the washer on top of the spray arm and remove the arm. Wash the arms in soapy, warm
water and use a soft brush to clean the jets. Replace after rinsing them thoroughly.
Cleaning the Door
Never run the dishwasher without the filters in place.

Cleaning the Filters
Filter assembly
For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be cleaned.
The filter efficiently removes food particles from the wash water, allowing it to be recirculated
during the cycle. For this reason, it is a good idea to remove the larger food particles trapped in
the filter after each wash cycle by rinsing the semicircular filter and cup under running water.
To remove the filter assembly, pull on the cup handle in the upward direction. The entire filter
assembly should be cleaned at least once a month.
To clean the coarse filter and the fine filter, use a cleaning brush. Then, reassemble the filter
parts as shown in the figure at left and reinsert the entire assembly in the dishwasher,
positioning in its seat and pressing downward.
The dishwasher must never be used without the filters. Improper replacement of the filter may
reduce the performance level of the appliance and may damage dishes and utensils.
To clean the edge around the door, you should use only a soft warm, damp rag. To prevent
penetration of water into the door lock and electrical components, do not use a spray cleaner
of any kind.
Also, never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the outer surfaces because they will
scratch the finish. Some papers towels can also scratch or leave marks on the surface.

Cleaning the Drain Pump
Something will occasionally move into the filters and the drain pump. If this occurs, the drain pumps
employed in our dishwashers are designed to automatically reverse, ejecting the item back into the
sump area or down the drain. If you have to remove an obstacle from the drain pump, before you
remove the filters, you should turn off the power; Then remove the small black insert from the sump
area. (You might want to remove any standing water first). Scoop out the item that is probably in the
sump area and causing the obstruction. Remember to replace the black insert before replacing the filters.

When You Go on Holiday
When you go on holiday, it is recommended that you run a
wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and then remove
the plug from the socket, turn off the water supply and
leave the door of the appliance slightly ajar. This will help
the seals last longer and prevent odors from forming in
the appliance.
Seals
One of the factors that cause odors to form in the
dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the seals.
Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this
from occurring.

the surface of the interior, use a cloth dampened with warm
water and a little white vinegar, or a cleaning product made
specifically for dishwashers.
