Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your dishwasher.

Cleaning the Filters:

• Twist and remove the filter assembly from the bottom of the dishwasher.
• Rinse all filter components under running water to remove food particles. Use a soft brush if necessary.
• Reassemble the filters and place them back into the dishwasher, ensuring they are securely locked.

Cleaning the Spray Arms:

• Periodically check the spray arm nozzles for blockages.
• If blocked, remove the spray arms and clear the nozzles with a thin wire or toothpick.

Cleaning the Exterior:

• Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Clean the door seal regularly to remove food residue and prevent odors.

Adding Dishwasher Salt:

• If your dishwasher has a salt indicator light, refill the salt compartment when the light illuminates.
• Use the provided funnel to add dishwasher salt to prevent limescale buildup, especially in hard water areas.

Troubleshooting

Before contacting customer service, try these common troubleshooting steps:

• Dishwasher not starting: Check if the power cord is plugged in, the door is fully closed, and the circuit breaker has not tripped.
• Dishes not clean: Ensure spray arms are not blocked, filters are clean, and dishes are loaded correctly. Check detergent levels.
• Water not draining: Check the drain hose for kinks or blockages. Clean the filters.
