Scholtes LFDS3XL60HZ Use & Care Manual

Clean the outer surfaces and door-lining of the
dishwasher regularly using a soft cloth moistened with a
neutral detergent (not abrasive and/or corrosive) suitable
for painted surfaces. Clean the door gaskets with a damp
sponge.
Periodically (once or twice a year) it is advisable to clean
the tank and gaskets, using a soft cloth and water to
remove any deposits.
Do not clean the controls with too much water as this may
leak onto the electronic components and damage them.
After cleaning, dry the appliance with a soft, lint-free cloth.
If stainless steel surfaces are preset, clean them with a
non-abrasive product specific for stainless steel. To
prevent stains, a nebulizer may also be used, though
sparingly and at a moderate pressure.

Clean the water inlet filter at regular intervals. After
closing the delivery tap, unscrew the ring nut (ref. A fig.
5-01) on the water inlet pipe (using a pair of pliers, if
necessary) and delicately clean the filter, removing
deposits or impurities.
Then firmly fix the pipe by tightening the ring nut (ref. A
fig. 5-01) (use a pair of pliers, if necessary).

The spray arms can be easily removed for periodic
cleaning of the nozzles, to prevent possible clogging.
Wash them under running water (at room temperature)
and carefully replace them in their seats, checking that
their rotary movement is in no way impeded ; if this is not
the case, make sure they have been mounted properly.

•

To remove the upper spray arm (ref. A fig. 5-02), unscrew
the locking ring (ref. B fig. 5-02) by turning it clockwise.
After cleaning, remount the spray arm in its seat and
tighten the locking ring by turning it anti-clockwise.

•

To remove the lower spray arm (ref. A fig. 5-03), simply
lift it up, pulling by the central part (see fig. 5-03). Then
remount the lower spray arm into its seat and push it
down slightly until it click into place (see fig. 5-03).
