Care and maintenance

ATTENTION: Always unplug the appliance when cleaning it and when performing maintenance work.

Do not use flammable liquids to clean the machine.

CLEANING THE DISHWASHER

Any marks on the inside of the appliance may be re-

moved using a cloth dampened with water and a little

vinegar.

The external surfaces of the ma-

chine and the control panel can be

cleaned using a non-abrasive cloth

which has been dampened with wa-

ter. Do not use solvents or abrasive

products.

PREVENTING UNPLEASANT ODOURS

Always keep the door of the appliance ajar in order

to avoid moisture from forming and being trapped in-

side the machine.

Clean the seals around the door and detergent dispens-

ers regularly using a damp sponge. This will avoid

food becoming trapped in the seals, which is the main

cause behind the formation of unpleasant odours.

CHEKING THE WATER SUPPLY HOSE

Check the inlet hose regularly for brittleness and

cracks. If damaged, replace it by a new hose available

through our After-Sales Service or your specialist dealer.

Depending on the hose type:

If the inlet hose has a transparent coating, periodical-

ly check if the colour intensifies locally. If yes, the

hose may have a leak and should be replaced.

For water stop hoses: check the small safety valve in-

spection window (see arrow). If it is red, the water

stop function was triggered, and the hose must be re-

placed by a new one.

For unscrewing this hose, press the release button

while unscrewing the hose.

CLEANING THE FILTER ASSEMBLY

Regularly clean the filter assembly so that the filters do

not clog and that the waste water flows away correctly.

The filter assembly consists of three filters which re-

move food residues from the washing water and then

recirculate the water: to obtain the best washing re-

sults, you need to keep them clean.

The dishwasher must not be used without filters

or if the filter is loose.

After several washes, check the filter assembly and if

necessary clean it thoroughly under running water,

using a non-metallic brush and following the instruc-

tions below:

1. Turn the cylindrical filter

in an anti-clockwise

direction and pull it out

(Fig 1)

2. Remove the cup filter

by exerting a slight

pressure on the side flaps

(Fig 2)

3. Slide out the stainless-steel plate filter

(Fig 3)

4. Inspect the trap and remove any food residues.

NEVER REMOVE

the wash-cycle pump

protection (black detail)

(Fig 4)

After cleaning the filters, re-place the filter assembly

and fix it in position correctly; this is essential for

maintaining the efficient operation of the dishwasher.
