Cleaning and Special Maintenance

The filter assembly

If you want consistent good results from your dishwasher,

you need to clean the filter assembly.

The food particles are

removed from the wash

water, allowing it to be

recirculated during the

cycle, filtered perfectly.

For this reason, it is a

good idea to remove the

larger food particles

trapped inside the semi-

circular filter A and cup

"C"after each wash; to

remove

the

filter

assembly, pull the cup

handle upwards. All you

need to do is rinse them under running water.

The entire filter assembly should be cleaned thoroughly once

a month: semi-circular filter A + cup C + cylindrical filter B+

microfilter D.

To remove filter "B", turn it anti-clockwise. Use a small non-

metallic brush for cleaning.

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.

Troubleshooting

It may occur that the dishwasher does not function or does not

function properly. Before calling for assistance, let us see what can

be done first: have you forgot to press one of the buttons or to

perform an essential operation?

The Dishwasher Does Not Start

Have you checked whether:

- the plug is pushed into the socket correctly;

- the power is on in the house;

- the door is closed properly;

- the ON-OFF switch is on "ON";

- the water supply is turned on.

The Dishwasher Does Not Load Water

Have you checked whether:

- the water is turned on and the hose is connected properly;

- the water supply to the house is on and has sufficient

pressure;

- the water supply hose is crimped or bent;

- the filter for the water supply hose is clogged.

The Dishes Are Not Clean

Have you put the right amount of detergent into the dispenser?

Is the wash cycle suitable for the dishes you have placed inside the

appliance?

Are the filter and microfilter clean?

Can the sprayer arms turn freely?

The Dishwasher Does Not Drain

Have you checked whether:

- the drain hose is crimped or bent.

Lime Deposits or a White Film Form on the Dishes

Have you checked whether:

- the lid to the salt container is closed properly;

- the rinse aid dosage is correct.

Error messages.

Your dishwasher is equipped with a safety system which is able to

detect any operating anomalies. These anomalies are reported by

one or two wash cycle indicator lights "G" flashing rapidly.

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 Sprayer Arms

It may happen that food particle become encrusted on the

sprayer arms and block the holes (see "Close up view

(interior)", letters F-I). Check the sprayer arms periodically

and clean them when needed.

Cleaning the Water Inlet Filter

Periodically clean the water inlet filter (see figure 2 under

"Installation") located on the outlet of the water supply

tap. After turning off the water tap, unscrew the end of

the water supply hose, remove the filter and clean it carefully

under running water. Then, return the filter to its place and

tighten the water supply hose back into position.

Take a note of which lights are flashing, turn the appliance off and

call for technical assistance.

Tap off alarm

If you have forgotten to turn the water tap on, your appliance will

remind you of this by sounding a few short beeps for a few minutes.

Turn the tap on and your appliance will start up again after a few

minutes. Were you to be absent when these beeps are sounded, the

appliance will be blocked automatically and indicator lights 2 and 3

(wash and rinses) will flash rapidly. Turn the appliance off at the ON-

OFF button, turn on the water tap and wait approximately 20 seconds

before turning the appliance back on; repeat the programming

operations and the selected wash cycle will start up again.

Clogged filter alarm

If the appliance is blocked and indicator lights 1 (pre-wash) and 3

(rinses) flash rapidly, this means the filter is clogged by large particles

of food residue. Turn the appliance off, clean the filter thoroughly

and reposition it in its seat as illustrated on this page. Then turn it

back on. Repeat the programming operations and the wash cycle

will start up again.

If, despite all these checks, the dishwasher still does not function

and/or the problem persists, contact the nearest authorised service

centre and provide them with the following information:

- the nature of the problem;

- the model type number (Mod. ...) and the serial number (S/N ....),

which are indicated on the plate located on the side of the inner part

of the door.

Never call on unauthorised technicians and refuse to allow parts to

be installed that are not original spare parts.
