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. Rotate filter “B”
anticlockwise to remove it.
For cleaning, use a non
metallic brush.
Reassemble the filter parts (as
shown in the figure) 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.
The seals.
One of the factors that cause
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.
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.
