							Cleaning the spray arms
Waste particles can lodge in the spray
arm jets.
It is therefore important to inspect the
spray arms regularly.
^Use a sharp pointed object to push
particles into the spray arm jets and
rinse well under running water.
Remove the spray arms as follows:
^Unscrew theupperspray arm.
^Remove themiddlespray arm by un
-
screwing the nut
which secures it to
the upper basket.
Important:
The nut has a left hand
thread and has to be turned clock-
wise to unscrew it.
^Loosen the knurled thumb nut to un-
screw thelowerspray arm.
You will first need to take the bottom
basket out of the machine.
Important:

							Cleaning the drain pump and
non-return valve
If water has not been pumped away at
the end of a programme the drain
pump or the non-return valve might be
blocked. They are however, easy to
clean.
^Take the filter combination out of the
wash cabinet.
^
Release the locking clamp.
^
Lift up the non-return valve and rinse
under running water.The drain pump is situated under the
non-return valve (see arrow).

obstructions.
^Carefully replace the ron-return valve
and secure with the locking clamp.
Cleaning and care

							Cleaning the filters in the water
inlet
Filters are incorporated in the screw
connection of the water inlet hose to
protect the water inlet valve. If these fil
-
ters get dirty they need to be cleaned,
otherwise insufficient water flows into
the wash cabinet.
,The plastic housing of the water
connection contains an electrical
component. It must not be dipped in
water.
To clean the filters
^Disconnect the machine from the
mains supply (switch off at the mains
and pull out the plug, switch off the
appropriate circuit in the fuse box or
withdraw the mains fuse).
^Turn off the stopcock and unscrew
the water inlet hose.
^
Clean the large area filter (1) and fine
filter (2), and replace with new filters
if necessary.^Replace filters and the seal. Make
sure they are sitting correctly.
^Reconnect the hose to the water inlet,
making sure that it goes back on
straight.
^Open the stopcock carefully.
If there is a leak, screw the connec
-
tions on more tightly.Cleaning the control panel
^This should only be cleaned with a
damp cloth or a suitable cleaner for
use on plastic materials, or with a dis
-
infectant tested and recognised as
suitable for this use.
,Do not use abrasive cleaners,
glass cleaners or all-purpose
cleaners!
Because of their chemical composi-
tion they could cause serious dam-
age to plastic components.
Cleaning the front of the ma-
chine
^
Clean using a proprietary cleaning
agent designed for the type of front
the machine is fitted with.
,Do not use cleaning agents con-
taining ammonia or thinners.

-
tent person in accordance with local
and national safety regulations. Un
-
authorised repairs could be dangerous.
Faults / possible causes

– The door is not properly closed.
– The plug is not properly inserted in
the socket.
– The fuse is defective / has blown.
A few minutes after switching on, the
p/6indicator light flashes (fault

ters (see Cleaning and Care).
^
Switch the machine on again and
reselect the programme.The wash cycle finishes too early and
thep/6indicator light flashes
(fault code F A appears in the dis

heat up; the programme takes too
long (fault code: F01 - F03, F18, F19
appears in the display).
This machine has a resettable heater
limiter which will switch off the heaters if
they over-heat. This could be caused
for example, by large articles covering
the heating elements or if the filters in
the wash cabinet are blocked.
^
Remove the cause of the fault.
^
Take off the service panel (see Elec-
trical connection).
^
Press the reset button on the heater
limiter (reddish brown) located on the

the gaps between the machine and
any neighbouring units as this would
hinder ventilation to the circulation
pump.
