5. Maintenance and Care
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your dishwasher.
5.1 Cleaning the Filters
The filter system should be cleaned regularly to prevent blockages and ensure efficient washing. Remove the coarse and fine filters, rinse them under running water, and brush away any food debris. Reassemble and replace them correctly.
5.2 Cleaning the Spray Arms
Periodically check the spray arm nozzles for blockages. If necessary, remove the spray arms and clear any debris from the holes using a thin object like a toothpick.
5.3 Exterior and Interior Cleaning
Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For the interior, run a dishwasher cleaner cycle periodically to remove grease and limescale buildup.
5.4 Salt Refill
If your water is hard, the dishwasher will require dishwasher salt. Refill the salt dispenser when the indicator light illuminates. This helps prevent limescale deposits on dishes and the appliance.
