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 wash cycle 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 indicator lights 2 and 3
(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; repeat the programming
operations and the selected wash cycle will start up again.
Clogged filter alarm
If the appliance is blocked and indicator lights 1 (pre-wash) and 3
(rinses) flash rapidly, this means the filter is clogged by large particles
of food residue. Turn the appliance off, clean the filter thoroughly
and reposition it in its seat as illustrated on this page. Then turn it
back on. Repeat the programming operations and the wash cycle
will start up again.
Water load solenoid valve malfunction alarm.
If indicator light 2 (wash) flashes rapidly, TURN the dishwasher OFF
AND BACK ON AGAIN after one minute. If the alarm persists, first
turn off the water tap to avoid any flooding and then cut off the
electricity supply and call for technical assistance.
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.
Cleaning the Sprayer Arms
It may happen that food particle become encrusted on the
sprayer arms and block the holes (see "Close up view
(interior)", letters F-I). Check the sprayer arms periodically
and clean them when needed.
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.

The filter assembly
If 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 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.
