CARE AND MAINTENANCE

ATTENTION: Always unplug the appliance when cleaning it and when

performing maintenance work.Do not use flammable liquids to clean

the machine.

CLEANING THE DISHWASHER

Any marks on the inside of the appliance may be

removed using a cloth dampened with water and a

little vinegar.

The external surfaces of the machine and the control

panel can be cleaned using a non-abrasive cloth

which has been dampened with water. Do not use

solvents or abrasive products.

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 se-

als, which is the main cause behind the formation of unpleasant odours.

CHEKING THE WATER SUPPLY HOSE

Check the inlet hose regularly for brittleness and cracks. If damaged,

replace it by a new hose available through our After-Sales Service or

your specialist dealer. Depending on the hose type:

If the inlet hose has a transparent coating, periodically check if the

colour intensifies locally. If yes, the hose may have a leak and should

be replaced.

For water stop hoses: check the small safety valve inspection window

(see arrow). If it is red, the water stop function was triggered, and the

hose must be replaced by a new one.

For unscrewing this hose, press the release button while unscrewing

the hose.

CLEANING THE WATER INLET HOSE

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 im-

purities before performing the necessary connections. If this precau-

tion is not taken, the water inlet could become blocked and damage

the dishwasher.

CLEANING THE FILTER ASSEMBLY

Regularly clean the filter assembly so that the filters do not clog and

that the waste water flows away correctly.

Using dishwasher with clogged filters or foreign objects inside filtration

system or sprayarms may cause unit malfunction resulting in lose of

performance, noisy work or higher resources usage.

The filter assembly consists of three filters which remove food residues

from the washing water and then recirculate the water.

The dishwasher must not be used without filters or if the filter is

loose.

At least once per month or after each 30 cycles, check the filter assembly

and if necessary clean it thoroughly under running water, using a non-

-metallic brush and following the instructions below:

1. Turn the cylindrical filter A 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 C (Fig 3).

4. In case you find foreign objects (such as broken glass, porcelain,

bones, fruit seeds etc.) please remove them carefully.

5. Inspect the trap and remove any food residues. NEVER REMOVE

the wash-cycle pump protection (black detail) (Fig 4).

After cleaning the filters, re-place the filter assembly and fix it in po-

sition correctly; this is essential for maintaining the efficient operation

of the dishwasher.

CLEANING THE SPRAY ARMS

On occasions, food residue may be-

come encrusted onto the spray arms

and block the holes used to spray

the water. It is therefore recommen-

ded that you check the arms from

time to time and clean them with a

small non-metallic brush.

To remove the upper spray arm, turn

the plastic locking ring in an

anti-clockwise direction. The upper

spray arm should be replaced so that the side with the greater number

of holes is facing upwards.

The lower spray arm may be remo-

ved by pulling it upwards.
