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,

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.

- 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).

4.4.

4. 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.
