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.

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.
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.
