7. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your dishwasher.
7.1 Cleaning the Filters
- The filter system prevents larger food particles from reaching the pump. Clean the filters regularly to avoid blockages and ensure efficient cleaning.
- Twist and remove the filter assembly from the bottom of the dishwasher.
- Rinse the filters under running water to remove any trapped food particles. Use a brush if necessary.
- Reassemble and securely place the filters back into position.
7.2 Cleaning the Spray Arms
- Periodically check the spray arm nozzles for blockages.
- If any nozzles are clogged, remove the spray arm and clear the holes with a thin wire or toothpick.
- Ensure the spray arms can rotate freely after reinstallation.
The three spray arms are crucial for thorough cleaning. Keep their nozzles clear for optimal performance.
7.3 Water Softener (Salt Reservoir)
- If your water supply is hard, the integrated water softener helps prevent limescale buildup and improves wash results.
- Locate the salt reservoir (usually at the bottom of the wash tub).
- Fill the reservoir with dishwasher salt as needed. Refer to the indicator light or your local water hardness for frequency.
7.4 Exterior and Interior Cleaning
- Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
- Run the "Self-Clean" program periodically to clean the interior of the dishwasher.
- The 72-hour intermittent ventilation feature helps keep the interior dry and fresh, preventing odors.
