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 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 neces-
sary 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.
•Afterseveralwashes,checkthefilterassemblyandif
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 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.
