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.
The filter system prevents
larger amounts of food or
other objects from getting
inside the pump.
Cleaning the lower spray arm

Clean the arm under running water; if neces-
sary, use a soft brush for the nozzles.
Insert the spray arm again until they click into
place.
