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. Ro-
tate 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.

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 cau-
se 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.
