ATTENTION: Always unplug the appliance when cleaning it and
when performing maintenance work. Do not use ammable
liquids to clean the machine.
Cleaning the dishwasher
Any marks on the inside of the appliance may
be removed using a cloth dampened with water
anda little vinegar.
The external surfaces of the machine and the
control panel can be cleaned using a non-
abrasive cloth which has been dampened with
water. 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 inside the machine.
Clean the seals around the door and detergent dispensers
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, periodically check
if the colour intensies locally. If yes, the hose may have a leak
and should be replaced.
For water stop hoses: check the small safety valve inspection
window (see arrow). If it is red, the water stop function was
triggered, and the hose must be replaced by a new one.
For unscrewing this hose, press the release button while
unscrewing the hose.
Cleaning the water inlet hose
If the water hoses are new or have not been used for an
extended period of time, let the water run to make sure it is
clear and free of impurities before performing the necessary
connections. If this precaution is not taken, the water inlet could
become blocked and damage the dishwasher.
Cleaning the lter assembly
Regularly clean the lter assembly so that the lters do not clog
and that the waste water ows away correctly.
Using dishwasher with clogged lters or foreign objects inside l-
tration system or sprayarms may cause unit malfunction resulting
in lose of performance, noisy work or higher resources usage.
The lter assembly consists of three lters which remove food
residues from the washing water and then recirculate the water.
The dishwasher must not be used without lters or if the
lter is loose.
Cleaning and maintenance
At least once per month or after each 30 cycles, check the lter as-
sembly and if necessary clean it thoroughly under running water,
using a non-metallic brush and following the instructions below:
1. Turn the cylindrical lter A in an anti-clockwise direction and
pull it out (Fig 1).
2. Remove the cup lter B by exerting a slight pressure on the
side aps (Fig 2).
3. Slide out the stainless-steel plate lter C (Fig 3).
4. In case you nd foreign objects (such as broken glass,
porcelain, bones, fruit seeds etc.) please remove them
carefully.
5. Inspect the trap and remove any food residues. NEVER
REMOVE the wash-cycle pump protection (black detail) (Fig 4).
After cleaning the lters, replace the lter assembly and x it in
position correctly; this is essential for maintaining the ecient
operation of the dishwasher.
Cleaning the spray arms
On occasions, food
residue may become
encrusted onto the
spray arms and block
the holes used to spray
the water. It is therefore
recommended that you
check the arms from
time to time and clean
them with a small non-
metallic brush.
To remove the upper spray arm, turn the plastic locking ring in a
clockwise direction. The upper spray arm should be replaced so
that the side with the greater number of holes is facing
upwards.
The lower spray arm may be
removed by pulling it upwards
and rotating it anti-clockwise.
