Unpacking
• Remove all packaging before positioning the machine.
• If possible, position the machine next to a water tap and a
drain.
Water connections
We recommend that this dishwasher is connected to your
cold water supply.
For making the connection itself, the coupling nut fitted to
the machine’s supply hose is designed to screw onto either
a 3/4" inch gas thread spout or to a purpose made quickcoupling tap such as the Press-block.
The inlet hose is fitted with either a plastic or a metal nut:
– Only tighten the plastic nut hand tight.
– You must tighten the metal nut using a tool.
Then do a visual check for water tightness (make sure that
the tap is not dripping).
The water pressure must be within the limits given in the
"Technical Data" shown on page 6. Your local Water Authority will advise you on the average mains pressure in
your area.
The water inlet hose must not be kinked, crushed, or entangled when it is being connected up.
The dishwasher features fill and drain hoses which can be
turned either to the left or the right to suit the installation
by means of the locknut. The locknut must be correctly
fitted to avoid water leaks. (Important! NOT all models of dishwashers have fill and drain hoses provided with
locknut. In this case, this kind of facility is not possible).
If the machine is connected to new pipes or pipes which
have not been used for a long time, you should run the water for a few minutes before connecting the inlet hose.
DO NOT use connection hoses which have previously been used for an old appliance.
This appliance has been fitted with safety features which will
prevent the water used in the appliance from returning back
into the drinking water system.This appliance complies with
the applicable plumbing regulations.
3 So that access to the tap in the kitchen is not re-
stricted by the use of the dishwasher, we recommend installing an additional tap, or fitting a T-branch
to the existing tap.
Water outlet hose connection
Extension hoses
• Extension hoses are available from your local Service
Force Centre. To ensure that the function of the appliance
is not impeded, the internal diameter of extension hoses
must be 19 mm.
• Extension hoses must not be laid more than a maximum
distance of 4 metres horizontally; the maximum permitted height for the connection for the drain hose is then
85 cm.
Sink outlet connection
• The outlet of the drain hose (ø 19 mm) fits all commonly
available sink outlet types. The outer diameter of the sink
outlet connection must be at least 15 mm.
• The drain hose must be fixed to the sink outlet connection using the hose clamp supplied.
Water drainage if the dishwasher is built-in at high
level
If the dishwasher is installed at a high level, and the drain
hose connection is less than 30 cm from the lower edge of
the appliance, adapter kit ET 111099520 must be fitted by
your local Service Force Centre.
Anti-flood System
Water Drainage
Drain hose
1 The drain hose must not be kinked, crushed or en-
tangled.
Connecting the drain hose:
– Maximum permitted height: 1 metre.
– Minimum required height: 40 cm above the bottom
edge of the appliance.
For protection from water damage, the dishwasher is
equipped with a anti-flood system.
In the event of a fault, the safety valve in the water inlet
hose immediately interrupts the supply of water to the appliance and the drain pump is activated. In this way water
can neither escape nor overflow. The remaining water in
the appliance is automatically pumped out.
7
Connecting Systems
The water inlet hose, drain hose and the mains cable must
all be connected to the side of the dishwasher as there is no
space for them behind the appliance.

Levelling the Dishwasher
• The dishwasher must be installed on a firm floor and adjusted to ensure that it is stable and level in all directions.
• To overcome irregularities in the floor and to match the
height of the appliance to that of surrounding units, extend the threaded feet using a screwdriver.
height and levelling with the adjustable feet. When inserting
the machine, ensure that the water inlet and drain hoses are
not kinked or squashed. During all operations that involve
accessibility to internal components the dishwasher has to
be unplugged.
1 Be sure that once the appliance has been installed, it
is easily accessible for the service engineer in the
event that a repair is required.
1 If the dishwasher is installed directly next to a cook-
er, a heat-insulating, non-flammable panel (laminated
with aluminium foil on the side next to the cooker)
must be fitted flush with the top edge of the work
surface.
1 If the dishwasher is later used as a free-standing ap-
pliance, the work surface supplied with it must be remounted.
3 The plinth on free-standing appliances is not adjusta-
ble.
• The drain hose, inlet hose and mains cable must be laid so
that they are able to move freely within the plinth area,
and so that they are not kinked or crushed when the dishwasher is in position.
Good levelling is essential for correct closure and sealing of
the door.
When the appliance is correctly levelled, the door will not
catch on either side of the cabinet.
If the door does not close correctly, loosen or tighten the
adjustable feet until the machine is perfectly level.

The Water Softener
To avoid scale deposits on the dishes and in the dishwasher,
the dishes must be washed with soft water, i.e. water with a
low lime content.
The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener designed
to remove minerals and salts from the water supply, which
would have a detrimental or adverse effect on the operation
of the appliance. The higher the content of these minerals
and salts, the harder your water is.
Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, Clarke degrees and mmol/l (millimol per litre - international unit for
the hardness of water).
The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness
of the water in your area. Your local Water Authority can
advise you on the hardness of the water in your area.
The water softener must be set in both ways: manually, using the water hardness dial and electronically, using the
function buttons on the control panel.

Setting the Water Softener
The water softener must be set manually and electronically:
If the water softener is set electronically to “1”, this switches off
the control indicator for dishwasher salt.
a) Setting manually
The dishwasher must be switched off.
1. Open the dishwasher door.
2. Remove the lower basket from the dishwasher.
3. Turn the water hardness dial to position 0 or 1 (see ta-
ble).
4. Replace the lower basket.
The dishwasher is factory set at position 0.
Filling with dishwasher salt
Only use salt specifically designed for use in dishwashers.
All other types of salt not specifically designed for
use in a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water softener.
Only fill with salt just before starting one of the
complete washing programmes.
This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water,
which may have been spilt, remaining on the bottom of the machine for any period of time, which
may cause corrosion.
To f i l l :
1.Open the door, remove the lower basket and unscrew
the cap of the salt container by turning it anticlockwise.
2.Pour 1 litre of water inside the container (this is neces-
sary only before filling with salt for the first time).
b) Setting electronically
3 The electronic setting of the water softener is
possible ONLY with the Multi-tab function deactivated.
1. Press the On/Off button.The On/Off indicator light and
all the programme indicator lights will illuminate (setting
mode).
If only one programme button indicator light is on, this
means that a washing programme is set.The programme
must be cancelled:
press simultaneously function buttons 1 and 2 for about 2
seconds. All programme indicator lights will illuminate indicating that the set programme has been cancelled and
the machine is now in setting mode.
2. Press function buttons 1 and 2 simultaneously and hold
them down.
The LED indicators for function buttons 1 to 3 will flash.
3. Press function button 1.
The LED indicator for function button 1 will flash.
The multi-display will indicate the hardness setting.
4. Pressing function button 1 increases the hardness setting by
1.
(Exception: hardness setting 1 follows hardness setting 10).
Examples:
If the current level is 5, by pressing function button 1 once,
level 6 is selected.
If the current level is 10, by pressing function button 1 once,
level 1 is selected.
5. When the hardness setting is correct, press the ON/OFF but-
ton.
The hardness setting is now saved.
3.Place the funnel (supplied) over the dispenser opening.
Fill the dispenser with dishwasher salt; the capacity of the
dispenser is approx. 1.0-1.5 kg, depending on the size of
the grains. Do not overfill the dispenser.
4.Replace the cap making sure that there is no trace of salt
on the screw thread or on the gasket.
5.Replace the cap tightly turning it clockwise until it stops
with a click.
The salt container will require topping up periodically.You
are reminded of this by the salt indicator light on the control panel which comes on when the salt has finished.
The salt indicator light on the control panel can remain illuminated for 2-6 hours after the salt has
been replenished, assuming the dishwasher remains
switched on. If you are using salts that take longer to
dissolve then it will take longer. The function of the
machine is not affected.
Do not worry if water over flows from the unit when filling
with salt, this is quite normal.
14
Rinse Aid
Adjusting the dose
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse.
Rinse aid will ensure the water flows away easily from the
crockery, ensuring thorough rinsing, spot and streak free,
leaving gleaming dishes and glassware.
The dispenser which is positioned inside the door, holds
about 140ml of Rinse aid which is sufficient for 20 to 40
Dishwashing programmes, depending on the dosage setting.
If you do not use 3in1 detergent, fill up with rinse aid:
– Before using the dishwasher for the first time.
– When the control indicator for rinse aid is illuminated on
the control panel.
Use only special rinse aid for dishwashers.
According to the finish and drying results obtained, adjust
the dose of rinse aid by means of the 6 position selector
(position 1 minimum dosage, position 6 maximum dosage).
The dose is factory set in position 4.
Increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots
on the dishes after washing.
Reduce it if there are sticky whitish streaks on the dishes or
a bluish film on glassware or knife blades.
Filling with rinse aid
1. Open the container by pressing the release button (A).
2. Add the rinse aid until the container is completely full.
The maximum level for filling is indicated by "max".
Top up the rinse aid when the indicator light on the
control panel illuminates.
Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill.
Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the
next wash.
Only use branded rinse aid for dishwashers. Never
fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances
(e.g. dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent).This would damage the appliance.
15
Activating rinse aid inflow when “Multi tab“
function is selected
3 If the “Multi tab“ function is not selected, the rinse
aid inflow is always activated.
If the “Multi tab“ function is selected due to the use of 3in1
detergent, the rinse aid inflow is deactivated. If the dishes
then do not dry sufficiently, you should re-activate the rinse
aid inflow (see also section “Using 3in1 detergents”).
1. Press the ON/OFF button.
3 If indicators for the programme buttons are lit, a

Using the Dishwasher
• Check if it’s necessary to refill with dishwasher salt or
rinse aid.
• Load cutlery and dishes into the dishwasher.
• Fill with dishwasher detergent .
• Select a wash programme suitable for the cutlery and
dishes.
• Start the wash programme.
Loading Cutlery and Dishes
1 Sponges, cleaning cloths and any other ob-
jects that can absorb water must not be
washed in the dishwasher.
Plastic and Teflon-coated dishes and pans tend
to retain water droplets. These dishes and
pans therefore do not dry as well as those
made of china and stainless steel.
• Before loading the dishes, you should:
– Remove the worst of the food residues.
– Soak pans with burnt-on food residues.
Caution:
If this is done with washing up liquid or a similar product,
ensure it is all rinsed off before placing the item into the
dishwasher.
• When loading the dishes and cutlery, please note:
– Dishes and cutlery must not impede the rotation of the
spray arms.
– Load bowls, cups, glasses, pans, etc. with the opening
downwards so that water cannot collect in them
– Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one an-
other or cover one another
– To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch one
another
– Don’t put small items (e.g. lids) in the baskets for the
dishes, but in the cutlery basket, so that they can’t fall
through the holes.
Beware: Some cutlery / dishes are not suitable or of limited suitability to be washed in dishwashers
not suitable: of limited suitability:
• Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or mother of
pearl handles
• Plastic items that are not heat resistant
• Older cutlery with cement
that is sensitive to temperature
• Dishes or cutlery with glued parts
• Pewter or copper items
• Lead crystal glass
• Steel items that rust
• Wooden boards/platters
• Items made from synthetic materials
• Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it is specifically marked by
the manufacturer as being dishwasher-safe.
• Glazed patterns may fade if washed very frequently in the dishwasher.
• Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to discolour during wash-
ing. Food remains, e.g. egg white, egg yolk and mustard often cause
discoloration and staining on silver. Therefore always clean food residues from silver immediately, if it is not to be washed straight after
use.
• Glass can become dull after a large number of washes.

Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes.
The lower basket
The lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates,
salad bowls, cutlery etc.
Serving dishes and large lids should be arranged around the
edge of the basket, ensuring that the spray arms
can turn freely.
The rows of prongs on the lower basket can be easily lowered to allow you to load pots, pans and bowls.
If the handles protrude from the bottom of the basket, obstructing the lower spray arm, load the cutlery with the
handles facing upwards. Mix spoons with other cutlery to
prevent them from sticking together.
.
For best results we recommend you to use the cutlery grid
provided (if the size and dimensions of the
cutlery allow it).
To ensure that all items of cutlery in the cutlery basket can
be reached by the water, you should:
1.Place the grid insert on the cutlery basket.
The cutlery basket
1 War ning !
Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard.
Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as
carving knives must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket.
Take care when loading or unloading sharp
items such as knives.
Forks and spoons should be placed in the removable cutlery
basket with the handles facing downwards and the knives
with their handles facing upwards.
2.Place forks and spoons in the cutlery basket's grid insert
with their handles pointing downwards. For larger utensils, such as whisks, leave off one half of the cutlery grid
18
The upper basket
The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates, saucers, dinner plates of up to 24 cm in diameter), salad bowls,
cups, glasses and for long, sharp cutlery.
Arrange items on and underneath the cup racks so that water can reach all surfaces.
For taller items, the cup racks can be folded upwards.
Light items (plastic bowls etc.) must be loaded in the upper
basket and arranged so they do not move.
• Arrange items of crockery on and under the folding cup
racks so that they are offset from each other and water
can reach all items.
• The cup racks can be folded up out of the way for tall
crockery items.
• For glasses with long stems (according to the size and dimensions), fold the glass rack to the right, otherwise fold
it away to the left.
• The row of spikes on the left of the upper basket is also in
two parts and can be folded away.
Spikes not folded away: place glasses, mugs etc. in the upper basket.
Spikes folded away: More room for serving dishes.
• Lay or hang wine and brandy glasses in the slots in the cup
racks.
Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms
can rotate freely.
19
Adjusting the Height of the Upper Basket
If washing very large plates you can load them in the lower
basket after moving the upper basket to the higher position.
Maximum height of dishes in the
upper basket lower basket
with upper basket raised 22 cm 30 cm
with upper basket lowered 24 cm 29 cm
3 The height of the baskets can also be adjusted when
they are loaded.
Raising / Lowering the upper basket
1. Pull out the upper basket until it stops.
2. Holding the upper basket by the handle, raise it as far as it
will go and then lower it vertically.
The upper basket will latch into the lower or the upper
position.
After loading your machine always close the door, as
an open door can be a hazard.
Adding detergent
3 Only use detergents specifically designed for
use in dishwashers.
Please observe the manufacturer’s dosing and
storage recommendations as stated on the
detergent packaging.
2 Using no more than the correct amount of
detergent contributes to reducing pollution.
Fill with detergent
2.Fill the detergent dispenser (2) with detergent. The mark-
ing indicates the dosing levels:
20 = approximately 20 g of detergent
30 = approximately 30 g of detergent
3.All programmes with prewash need an additional deter-
gent dose (5/10 g) that must be placed in the prewash detergent chamber (3). This detergent will take effect during
the prewash phase.
4.Close the lid and press until it locks in place.
1. If the lid is closed: press release button (1).The lid springs
open.
20
Different kinds of detergent
Concentrated Detergents
Modern detergents for dishwashers are almost exclusively
lowalkaline
concentrated detergents with natural enzymes in tablet
form.
2 Using 50°C washing programmes in conjunction with
these concentrated detergents reduces pollution and
is good for your dishes, as these washing programmes are specially matched to the dirt-dissolving
properties of the enzymes in concentrated detergents. It is for this reason that using 50°C washing
programmes in conjunction with concentrated detergents can achieve the same cleaning results that
can otherwise only be achieved using 65°C washing
programmes.
Use of combi tablet detergents
These products are detergents with a combined cleaning,
rinsing and salt function.
When the "Multi tab" function is activated,
– the addition of special salt and rinse aid from the respec-
tive dispenser is prevented.
– If the salt and rinse aid dispensers are empty, this is not in-
dicated.
– The dishwashing cycles can be up to 30 minutes longer.
3 If you want to use combi tablet detergents, check
whether these detergents are suitable for your water
hardness. (Follow the manufacturer’s instructions!)
If your water hardness is higher than that recommended by the manufacturer but you would nevertheless like to use combi tablet detergents, proceed
as follows:
With the "Multi tab“ function selected, set the water
softener one hardness setting lower than when rinsing without multi tablet detergents.
Fill up the dispenser (if this is empty) with special
salt.
The dishwasher remembers the two different settings of the degree of hardness for rinsing with and
without "Multi tab“ function.
• Fill up the dispenser (if this is empty) with rinse aid.
• Set rinse aid dosage to “2” mechanically.
• Activate rinse aid inflow.
If you decide to return to using standard detergents
we advise you to:
• Deactivate the "Multi tab" function.
• Fill up the dispensers for salt and rinse aid again.
• Adjust the water hardness setting to the highest setting
perform up to 3 normal washing programmes without
loading any dishes.
• Adjust the water hardness setting according to the hardness of the water in your area.
• Adjust the rinse aid dosage.
When using "4 in 1" detergents that integrate also anti- glass
corrosion agent into "3 in 1" formula, please follow the
same indication as given for "3 in 1" detergents.
NOTE: When using 4 in 1 or 5 in 1 detergents that
integrate also anti-glass corrosion agent into "3 in 1" formula, please follow the same indication as given for "3 in 1"
combi tablet detergents.
When using "4 in 1" detergents that integrate also anti- glass
corrosion agent into "3 in 1" formula, please follow the
same indication as given for "3 in 1" detergents.
NOTE: When using 4 in 1 or 5 in 1 detergents that
integrate also anti-glass corrosion agent into "3 in 1" formula, please follow the same indication as given for "3 in 1"
combi tablet detergents.
Detergent Tablets
3 Detergent tablets from different manufacturers
dissolve at different rates. For this reason, some detergent tablets do not attain their full cleaning power
during short cycles. Therefore please use dishwashing cycles with pre-wash when using detergent tablets.
If you want to use detergent tablets
1. Press the ON/OFF button.
2. Press the "Multi tab" button.
The button indicator lights up: "Multi tab" function is selected.
Before the start of the dishwashing cycle put 3in1 detergent
in the detergent dispenser.
3 As the rinse aid inflow is automatically switched off
when the „Multi tab“ function is activated, it may
come about because of the different quality standards in the 3in1 detergent, that the dishes do not dry
sufficiently.
If this happens, proceed as follows (see section
“Rinse aid”):

1)The consumption values are intended as a guide and depends on the pressure and the temperature of the water and also by
the variations of the power supply. The programme duration is visible in the display when the setting of the programme
occurs.
2)"Automatic" washing programme;
During the "Automatic" washing programme the amount of soil on the dishes is determined by how cloudy the water is. If
the appliance is partially loaded and the dishes lightly soiled, the "prewash", "main wash", and "rinse" phases of the
programme are shorter and the water consumption level is lower.
If the appliance is fully loaded and the dishes heavily soiled, the "prewash", "main wash", and "rinse" phases of the programme
are longer and the water consumption level is higher.
During the "Automatic" programme the temperature of the main wash water is also automatically adjusted between 50°C
and 65°C depending on the amount of soil on the dishes.
3)Testing programme for EN 50242 (see "Hints for Test Centres").
This programme, developed for the use of detergents with enzymes, allows you to achieve, with reduced consumption of
energy the same cleaning results that would otherwise be obtained only with the 65°C programmes and conventional
detergents. To compensate the lower temperature, the duration of washing and drying have been extended.
4)When using this programme, only load the dishwasher half full.
5)This programme does not need any detergent.
22
Starting a washing programme
Check that the baskets have
been loaded correctly and that
the spray arms can rotate freely.
Turn on the water tap.
Close the dishwasher door.
Press the ON/OFF button.
Select the desired cycle.
The cycle indicator and the respective cycle stages in the cycle progress display will be illuminated. The remaining time
expected for the cycle will be shown in the multi-display.
The selected cycle will begin after approximately 3 seconds.
The current stage of the cycle is always shown in the cycle
progress display.
3 During the dishwashing cycle, the remaining time
shown in the multi-display may be adjusted according
to the size of the load, degree of soiling, etc.
Interrupting or cancelling a
washing programme in progress
1 Interrupt or cancel a washing programme in
progress only if it is absolutely necessary.
Interrupting or Cancelling a washing programme by
opening the dishwasher door:
1 Hot steam may escape when the door is opened.
There is a risk of scalding.
– Open the door carefully. The programme will stop.
– Close the door. The programme will start from the point
at which it was interrupted.
Cancelling a washing programme in progress
To cancel a washing programme you have to reset the dishwasher; press simultaneously function buttons 1 and 2 and
keep them pressed.
The programme display for the current cycle will flash for
several seconds and then go out.
Release the function buttons. The running programme has
been cancelled.
If a new washing programme is to be selected, check that
there is detergent in the detergent dispenser.
"Half load" button
This option is useful and economical when only a small load
needs washing reducing the consumption of water and energy.
This option must be linked to the selection of a washing
programme. (Programmes with this option are indicated in
the chapter "Selecting the dishwasher cycle").
When selected, a back light will illuminate "Half load".
Load the dishes into both baskets (upper basket and lower
basket).
When using this option we recommend to reduce the dose
of detergent that is normally used for a complete load.
Setting the delay timer
3 With the delay timer you can delay the start of a
dishwashing cycle for between 1 and 19 hours.
1.Press the delay timer button repeatedly until the multi-
display shows the desired time delay, for example 12h, if
the cycle is to start in 12 hours. The delay timer indicator
is illuminated.
2.Select dishwashing cycle.
3.The time remaining to the start of the cycle is continu-
ously displayed (e. g. 12h, 11h, 10h, … 1h etc.).
Cancelling a delay start
To cancel a delay start in progress you have to reset the
dishwasher; follow the same instructions given in "Cancel a
washing programme in progress". Cancelling a delay start involves also the cancelling of the washing programme set.
In this case you have to set the washing programme again.
To change the time delay:
As long as the cycle has not yet started, you can still change
the setting by pressing the DELAY TIMER button.
Cancelling the time delay:
Press the Delay Timer button repeatedly until the length of
the selected cycle appears in the multi-display. The selected
dishwashing cycle will begin immediately.
To change a dishwashing cycle
As long as the cycle has not yet started, you can still change
the dishwashing cycle. First cancel the dishwashing cycle,
then reset the time delay, lastly select the new dishwashing
cycle.
Switching off the dishwasher
Only switch the dishwasher off when the multi-display indicates “0” for the cycle time remaining and the end of programme indicator is illuminated.
With some dishwashing cycles, the drying fan continues to
run even after the end of the cycle.
1.Press the ON/OFF button. All display indicators will go
out.
2.Turn off the water tap.
23
1 Carefully open the door. Hot steam may escape.
• Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks. Therefore leave the
dishes to cool for about 15 minutes before removing
them. You also get a better drying result.
• Dishes dry more quickly if you open the door for a moment after the cycle has ended and then leave it slightly
open.
Unloading the dishwasher
3 It is normal for the inner door and the dispensers to
be damp.
• Empty the lower basket first, then the upper basket. This
way you avoid dripping water from the upper basket onto
dishes in the lower basket.
• Water may appear on the sides and the door of the dishwasher as the stainless steel will eventually become cooler than the dishes.
3 When the washing programme has finished,
it is recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and the water tap turned off.
24
Maintenance and cleaning
Clean the external surfaces of the machine and control panel with a damp soft cloth. If necessary use only neutral detergents.
Never use abrasive products, scouring pads or solvent (ace-
tone, trichloroethylene etc....).
Ensure that the seals around the door, the detergent and
rinse aid dispensers are cleaned regularly with a damp cloth.
Cleaning the Filters
3 The filters must be regularly checked and cleaned.
Dirty filters will spoil the wash results.
6.Re-insert the flat filter.
7.Place the fine filter in the micro-filter and fit the two to-
gether.
8.Insert the filter system in place and lock it by turning the
handle clockwise as far as it will go. Ensure that the flat filter does not protrude above the base of the washing
compartment.
1 Before cleaning assure that the machine is
switched off.
1. Open the door and remove the lower basket.
2. Turn the handle about ¼ of a turn anticlockwise (A) and
remove the filter system (B).
3. Grasp the grip hole on the fine filter (1) and remove it
from the micro-filter (2).
1 Under no circumstances may the dishwasher
be used without its filters. Incorrect repositioning and fitting of the filters will produce
poor washing results.
Cleaning the Spray Arm Jets
Regularly check the jets in the spray arms for blockages. When cleaning is necessary, remove spray arm
from the fixture and clean jets with a pointed object
(wire or needle). Then rinse out the spray arm using
a strong jet of water.
4. Clean all filters thoroughly under running water.
5. Remove the flat filter (3) from the base of the washing
compartment and clean both surfaces thoroughly.
3 Do not damage the jet opening.
25
Upper basket spray arm
1. To remove upper basket spray arm, tilt it down hard.
2. Clean spray arms jets.
