AWARaXglNG!
Cleaning the Filters
Filter assembly
For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be cleaned.
"fhe filter efficiently removes food particles fl'om 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 cfeaned 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 figures Ieft 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 damage dishes and utensils
Never run the dishwasher without the filters in piace
Cleaning the Door
To clean the edge around the door, you should use onty a soft warm, damp rag T9 prevent
penetration of water into the door lock and electrical components, do not use a spray cleaner
of any kind
AIso, 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 wilt 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 offthe power; Then remove the small black insert from the sump
area (You might want to remove arty standing water first). Scoop out the item that is probably in the
sump area and causes the obstruction Remember to replace the black insert before you put the filters
back in
How to Keep Your Dishwasher in Shape
!L After Every Wash
After every wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance
and leave the door slightly ajar so that moisture and odors
are not trapped inside,
;;,>No Solvents orAbrasive Cleaning
Products
When You Go on Holiday
When you go on holiday, it is recommended that you run a
wash cycle with the dishwasber empty and then remove
the plug from the socket, turn offthe water supply and
leave the door of the appliance slightly ajar This will help
the seals last longer and prevent odors from forming
within the appliance
To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do
not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. Rather, use
only a cloth and warm soapy water. To remove spots or
stains from the surface ofthe interior, use a cloth dampened
with water and a little white vinegar, or a e_eaning product
made specifically fbr dishwashers
Seals
One of the factors that cause odors to form in th'e
dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the seals
Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this
from occurring
