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 cycle phase indicator lights "G"
flashing rapidly. 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 cycle phase 2 and 3 indicator lights (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, now the
program will start.
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.
The filter assembly
If you want consistent good results from your dishwasher,
you need to clean the filter assembly; this way 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 cup “C” and semi-circular filter “A” after each wash.
All you need to do is rinse them under running water; to
remove these, pull the cup handle upwards. The entire
filter assembly, comprising a semi-circular filter “A”, a cup
C”, and a cylindrical filter “B” should be cleaned thoroughly
once a month. Rotate filter “B” anticlockwise to remove it.
For cleaning, use a non metallic brush.
Reassemble the three parts as shown in the figures and
reinsert the whole assembly into the dishwasher, positioning
it into its housing and pressing 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 Sprayer Arms
It may happen that food particles
become encrusted on the
sprayer arms and block the
holes.Check the sprayer arms
periodically and clean them
when needed (see “Close-up
View [interior]”, letters F-I).
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.
