Care and maintenance

*

Only available in selected models.

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

can 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 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.

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.
- Re-place 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. Turn the cylindrical filter C in an anti-clockwise direction and
pull it out

(fig. 1).

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

(fig. 2);

3. Slide out the stainless-steel plate filter A.

(fig. 3).

4. Inspect the trap and remove any food residues. NEVER
REMOVE
the wash-cycle pump protection

(black detail) (fig.4).

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.

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.
