Care and maintenance

Shutting off the water and electricity

supplies

• Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle to avoid

leaks.

• Always unplug the appliance when cleaning it and

when performing maintenance work.

Cleaning the dishwasher

• The external surfaces of the machine and the control

panel may be cleaned using a non-abrasive cloth

which has been dampened with water. Do not use

solvents or abrasive products.

• Any marks on the inside of the appliance may be

removed using a cloth dampened with water and a

little vinegar.

Preventing unpleasant odours

• Always keep the door of the appliance ajar in order to

avoid moisture from forming and being trapped inside

the machine.

• Clean the seals around the door and detergent

dispensers 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 the arms are checked from

time to time and cleaned with a small non-metallic

brush.

The two sprayer arms may both be removed.

To remove the upper sprayer

arm, rotate the locking ring in

an anti-clockwise direction.

The upper sprayer arm should

be replaced with the holes

facing upwards.

The lower sprayer arm can be

removed by pressing on the

side tabs and pulling it

upwards.

Cleaning the water inlet filter*

If the water hoses are new or have not been used for an

extended period of time, let the water run to make sure it

is clear and free of impurities before performing the

necessary connections. If this precaution is not taken,

the water inlet could become blocked and damage the

dishwasher.

Clean the water inlet filter at the tap outlet regularly.

- Turn off the water tap.

- Unscrew the end of the water inlet hose, remove the filter and

clean it carefully under running water.

- Replace the filter and screw the water hose back into

position.

Cleaning the filters

The filter assembly consists of three filters which remove food

residues from the washing water and then recirculate the

water. They should be cleaned if you wish to achieve the best

results in every wash.

Clean the filters regularly.

The dishwasher should not be used without filters, or if the

filter is loose.

• After several washes, check the filter assembly and if

necessary clean it thoroughly under running water, using a

non-metallic brush and following the instructions below:

1.1.

1. Turn the cylindrical filter C in an anti-clockwise direction

and pull it out (fig. 1).

2.2.

2. Remove the cup filter B by exerting a slight pressure on the

side flaps (fig. 2).

3.3.

3. Slide out the stainless steel plate filter A (fig. 3).

Inspect the trap and remove any food residue. NEVER

REMOVE the wash cycle pump (black detail)

(fig. 4)

After cleaning the filters, replace the filter assembly and fix it in

position correctly; this is essential for maintaining the efficient

operation of the dishwasher.

Leaving the machine unused for extended

periods

• Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply and

shut off the water tap.

• Leave the door of the appliance ajar.

• When you return, run a wash cycle when the dishwasher is

empty.

* Only available in selected models.
