knocks.

drops inside the appliance.

Energy saving tips
Always try to operate the dishwasher when it is
fully loaded.
Do not rinse the dishes in advance under running
water.
Use for each type of load the most appropriate
rinse program.
Do not perform a pre-rinse (depending on mod-
el), if not necessary.
Cleaning and Maintenance
WARNING:
Always turn off the appliance and disconnect it
from the power supply before cleaning and user
maintenance.
Allow the appliance to cool down before clean-
ing.
Do not use steam cleaners for cleaning the
appliance; moisture could enter electrical com-
ponents. Risk of electric shock! Hot steam
could damage the plastic parts. The appliance
must be dry before restarting operation.
CAUTION:
Do not use a wire brush or other sharp, abra-
sive items.
Do not use any acidic or abrasive detergents.
NOTE: Dirty filters and clogged spray arms de-
grade the rinsing.
Filter system
1 Micro filter: filters dirt and food residues in the
sump area and prevents it from being redeposited
on the dishware during rinse cycle.
2 Main filter: food and soil particles trapped in this
filter are pulverized by a special jet on the lower
spray arm and washed down to drain.
Cleaning the filter system
CAUTION:
The dishwasher must never be used without
the filter.
Improper replacement of the filter can reduce
performance and damage the appliance.
Do not knock out the filter for cleaning to avoid
possible deformations of the filters.
NOTE:
Check after each rinsing the filter for residues.
Turn the filter system counterclockwise and
remove it upwards.
Remove the micro filter as from the main filter.
Remove leftover food and clean the filter under
running water. Use a soft brush for the coarse
and micro filter, if necessary.
Reinstall the filter system in reverse order.
