Care and Cleaning
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.
The filter assembly
• IIf 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.
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.
