Do not turn off the washing machine while the Tank is full. Always drain it first.
10 MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Notwithstanding that special, programmed maintenance is not required, we recommend having the dishwasher
checked by a specialized technician twice a year.
Note: intentional damage or that derived from carelessness, negligence, lack of respect for the regulations,
instructions and norms or erred connections are not to be considered the responsibility of the manufacturer.
10.1 Daily cleaning
The dishwasher has an IPX4 protection rating, but the use of direct streams of water for its cleaning is forbidden.
Cleaning of the filter during the day
In case of particularly heavy usage it is recommended to perform a cleaning of the filter every 30-40 wash cycles in
order to maintain the machine in operative conditions; Use “partial Tank draining” in order to perform these
cleanings.
Remove the filters (it is sufficient to lift them out of their lodgings as shown
in the figure), making sure that greasy residues do not fall into the opening
underneath the filters. Clean away the residues and rinse the filters
abundantly before correctly replacing them; Do not utilize pointy or sharp
objects for cleaning.
Be sure to remove eventual hardened calcium deposits in order to avoid
their accumulation;
Clean the surfaces well and frequently with a damp rag; use neutral,
non-abrasive detergents which do not contain chlorine-based
substances. Corrosive products can damage stainless steel.
In order to avoid drops or vapors damaging the steel surfaces, do not even use the above-indicated products for
the cleaning of the flooring beneath or around the dishwasher.
10.2 Periodic checks
Disassemble the sprinklers (lower and upper) by removing the central screw; unscrew the caps at the two far ends
of the rinsing sprinklers as indicated in the figure. Do not unscrew the nozzles.
Clean the holes and the nozzles under a stream of clean water. Do not use utensils which could cause damage.
Carefully reassemble the sprinklers.
Clean the outside of the machine with neutral soap and a damp cloth. Rinse and dry with care.
10.3 Prolonged disuse
If the use of the dishwasher is not foreseen for a relatively long period of time it is necessary to drain the
detergent and rinse-aid dispenser in order to avoid crystallization and pump damage: Remove the suction
tubes from the detergent and rinse-aid containers and emerge them in a container filled with clean water. Perform a
few wash cycles and drain the machine completely.
