Usage
o Clean the filters regularly both to keep the dishwasher clean and
to maintain its efficiency.
o Always remember to switch the appliance off standby when you
have finished using it. £1 billion worth of energy is wasted in the
UK every year by people leaving appliances on standby.
o You do not need to rinse dishes off before loading. If you prefer
to pre-rinse, use cold water on your dishes before loading them
but do not waste water by letting it run continuously.
o Use the shorter and lower temperature cycles for everything but
the dirtiest dishes. Shorter cycles use less energy and work just
as well. Modern detergents also work just as well at lower
temperatures.
Cleaning and maintenance
IMPORTANT: The appliance should be disconnected
from your mains supply before commencing any
cleaning process.
The filter system
Your appliance is fitted with three levels of filtering; these are located
in the base of the dishwasher for ease of access.
1) Main filter
2) Coarse filter
3) Fine filter
Main filter- Food and soil particles are trapped by this filter and
pulverised by a special jet on the lower spray arm.
This debris is then washed down the drain.
Coarse filter- Larger items such as pieces of bone or glass, which
could clog the drain, are trapped in this filter.
Fine filter- This filter holds soil and food residue in the sump
area and prevents it from being redeposited on the
dishes during a wash cycle.
