Cleaning the filters
There are two filters, a coarse one and a fine one which
should be cleaned after every wash. Lift out these filters
which are in the base of the dishwasher and wash under
running water.
The dishwasher must not be used without the
filters. Incorrect repositioning of the filters will
produce poor washing results.
Cleaning of the filters is vital to ensure correct
operation of the dishwasher.
Cleaning the spray arm
The holes in the spray arm must be kept free of scraps
for the efficiency of the washing action. Inspect the spray
arm regularly. When thorough cleaning is necessary,

the spray arm with hot soapy water using a stiff saucepan
brush if necessary to remove scraps.
Re-assemble carefully, making sure the nut is secure.
