Maintenance and care
You can help prevent faults by checking
and maintaining your appliance regularly.
This will save time and reduce problems.
Therefore you should occasionally
examine the inside of your dishwasher.
Overall condition of the
appliance
Check the rinsing compartment for grease
and limescale deposits.
If you find any deposits:
Fill the detergent dispenser with
detergent. Start the empty appliance
with the programme which has the
highest rinsing temperature.
Clean the door seal:
Wipe the door seal regularly with
a damp cloth and remove any deposits.

rinse-aid, if required.
Filters
The filters 24 prevent larger remnants of
food or other objects from getting inside
the pump. This residue can occasionally
clog up the filters.
The filter system consists of a filter
cylinder, a flat fine filter and, depending on
the model, a microfilter (*).
Inspect the filters for obstructions every
time the dishwasher has been used.
By unscrewing the filter cylinder, you
can remove the filter system. Remove
any food remnants and clean the filters
under running water.
