Care and Cleaning
The filter assembly
• If you want consistent
good results from your
dishwasher, you need to
clean the filter assembly.
•
Remove the larger food
particles trapped inside
the cup “C” and the semi-
circular filter A after each
wash; pull the cup handle
upwards to remove them.
Just rinse them under
running water.
• The entire filter assembly
should be cleaned
thoroughly once a month:
cup C + semi-circular filter
A + cylindrical filter B. Ro-
tate filter “B” anticlockwise
to remove it.
For cleaning, use a non
metallic brush.
Reassemble the filter
parts (as shown in the fi-
gure) and reinsert the
whole assembly into the
dishwasher. Position it into
its housing and press
downwards.
The dishwasher is not to
be used without filters.
Improper replacement of
the filters may reduce the
efficiency of the wash and
even damage your
dishwasher.
Cleaning the spray
arms.
Food residue may
become encrusted onto
the spray arms and block
the holes where water
comes out. Check the
spray arms regularly and
clean them once in a while.
DO NOT use solvents
or abrasives to clean the
exterior and rubber parts
of your appliance, do not
use solvents or abrasive
cleaning products. Use a
cloth dampened with
lukewarm soapy water
only.
If there are any stains on
the surface of the
appliance interior, use a
cloth dampened with
water and a little white
vinegar, or a cleaning
product specifically made
for dishwashers.

Unplug the appliance.
Before carrying out any
cleaning or maintenance
on the dishwasher, always
remove the plug from the
electricity socket.
After every wash.
When the wash cycle has
ended, always remember
to turn off the water supply
tap and to leave the
appliance door ajar. This
way, moisture and bad
odours will not be trapped
inside.
Going away
If the dishwasher is not
going to be used for some
time, carry out the
following:
• run a cycle with the
dishwasher empty.
• switch off at the electrical
socket and unplug.
• turn off the water supply
tap, disconnect the inlet
hose and allow to drain.
• fill the rinse aid
dispenser.
• leave the door ajar, to
prevent the build up of
unpleasant odours
inside the dishwasher.
Before using the
dishwasher after a long
break, plug in and switch
on at the electrical socket.
Reconnect the inlet hose
and turn on the water
supply tap. Check there
are no deposits of rust
inside the water pipe, if
there are allow water to
run from the supply tap for
a few minutes.
Moving the appliance.
Drain water from the
dishwasher. Secure all
loose parts. Only
transport in an upright
position.
• If not kept upright during
transport, any water
remaining inside may
seep into the control
module and cause
subsequent errors with
programme functions.
Disconnecting the
dishwasher.
When disconnecting the
dishwasher it is important
that tasks are carried out
in the correct sequence.
• switch off at the mains
and remove the plug
from the socket.
• turn off the water supply.
• disconnect drain and
water inlet hose.
• pull out the dishwasher,
carefully, withdrawing
hoses at the same time.
The seals.
One of the factors that cau-
se unpleasant odours to
form inside the
dishwasher is food that
remains trapped in the
seals. Periodic cleaning
using a damp sponge will
prevent this from
occurring.
