05 CLEANING AND MAINTAINING
Cleaning and maintaining your
dishwasher
Keeping your dishwasher clean improves its performance, reduces unnecessary
repairs, and prolongs its life.
CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
It’s best to clean spills on the exterior of your dishwasher as they occur.
Use a soft, damp piece of cloth to gently wipe away spills and dust from the control panel.
Do not use benzene, wax, thinner, chlorine bleach, or alcohol. These chemicals may discolour the
inner walls of the dishwasher and cause stains.
Do not clean the dishwasher by sprinkling water over it. In particular, protect the electrical components
from coming into contact with water.
If your dishwasher has a stainless steel door panel, it can be cleaned with a stainless steel cleaner for
Home Appliances or similar product using a clean, soft cloth.
CLEANING THE WASH CABINET
If there are limescale or grease deposits in the cabinet, remove these by damp cloth or run a programme
which has highest rinsing temperature without any loading items after fi lling detergent dispenser with
dishwasher detergent.
Do not remove the front seal on the container. Removing the seal can cause the dishwasher to leak or
malfunction.
CLEANING THE FILTERS
1. Turn o the dishwasher.
2. Rotate the fi lter insert counterclockwise to unfasten and then detach the
fi lter insert.
3. Remove the fi ne fi lter (fl at rectangular).
