filters can cause bad washing
results and damage to the

11.2 Cleaning the spray arms
Do not remove the spray arms. If the holes
in the spray arms are clogged, remove
remaining parts of soil with a thin pointed
object.
11.3 External cleaning
• Clean the appliance with a moist soft
cloth.
• Only use neutral detergents.
• Do not use abrasive products, abrasive
cleaning pads or solvents.
11.4 Internal cleaning
• Carefully clean the appliance, including
the rubber gasket of the door, with a

of grease and limescale inside the
appliance. To prevent this, we
recommend to run long duration
programmes at least 2 times per
month.
