Cleaning should be done regularly as it gets dirty. The easiest way is to mechanically remove the blockage and carry out preventive care. You need to act like this:

1. Remove and clean the trash filter. You must first remove the mesh from it and remove the waste. It is not difficult to understand how to clean the filter in a Bosch dishwasher or other models. The part is taken apart, and washed first under water, then with detergent.
2. Rocker arms are removed and lime scale is removed from small holes. To do this, it is convenient to use a toothpick, and then wash the parts in soapy water.
3. Baskets and other supports, as well as the interior surfaces of the chamber and the door, should be washed regularly.

4. You also need to clean the drain hose. It is screwed together, the remaining liquid is poured into a previously substituted basin and washed under running water. Then put in place and carefully twist.

Chemical cleaning

Merely mechanical processing, removing blockages by hand is not enough. To make the unit work as long as possible, use special dishwasher cleaning products, for example:

• Finish;
• "Celesta";
• Somat;
• YokoSun;
• "Bref" and others.

Apply drugs according to the instructions. They are poured or poured into the appropriate part of the compartment, then launched for the longest cycle with a temperature of at least 60 degrees.

If the model is of sufficient quality and has wide functionality, self-cleaning of the dishwasher is possible. It is activated on the control panel by pressing the corresponding button. By operating in this mode, the filter will become clean, so it will not need to be disassembled as often. But in any case, it is recommended to carefully inspect the part at least once a year.

Basic Prevention Measures

Cleaning is carried out as needed, in intensive use it is best to do this once a month. But in order to increase the overall service life, it is recommended to follow the simple rules of prevention:

1. Thoroughly clean large food waste from plates and other containers before each wash.
2. Arrange plates and other utensils strictly in the containers intended for them.
3. Do not place too many dishes, so as not to overload the device.
4. Wipe the seal dry with a clean cloth after each cycle.
5. Leave the door ajar for at least 30 minutes to allow air to flow freely into the chamber.

Thus, it is not difficult to clean the dishwasher, especially since there are special tools for this. If you follow the described preventive measures, it will be possible to do this all once a month or less. In this case, the unit itself will last much longer than the warranty period.
