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 filtra-
tion 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 beco-
me encrusted onto the spray arms and
block the holes used to spray the water.
It is therefore recommended 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 a 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 removed
by pulling it upwards.
