regularly using a damp sponge. This will avoid food becoming

trapped in the seals, which is the main cause behind the

formation of unpleasant odours.

Cleaning the sprayer arms

Food residue may become encrusted onto the sprayer arms

and block the holes used to spray the water. It is therefore

recommended that you check the arms from time to time and

clean them with a small non-metallic brush.

The two sprayer arms may both be removed.

To remove the upper sprayer arm,

turn the plastic locking ring in an

anti-clockwise direction. The upper

sprayer arm should be replaced

so that the side with the greater

number of holes is facing upwards.

The lower sprayer arm can be

removed by pressing on the side

tabs and pulling it upwards.

After cleaning the filters, re-place the filter assembly and fix it in

position correctly; this is essential for maintaining the efficient

operation of the dishwasher.
