Cleaning the filters

The filter assembly consists of three filters which remove food residues from the washing water and then recirculate the water. They should be cleaned if you wish to achieve the best results in every wash.

Clean the filters regularly.

Cleaning the dishwasher

•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 abrasive detergents or . solvents.

•Any marks on the inside of the appliance may be removed using a cloth dampened with water and a little vinegar.

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.

Cleaning the sprayer arms

Food residue may become encrusted onto the sprayer 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.

The two sprayer arms may both be removed.

To remove the upper sprayer arm, turn the plastic locking ring in an anti-clockwise direction. The upper sprayer arm should be replaced so that the side with the greater number of holes is facing upwards.

The lower sprayer arm can be removed by pressing on the side tabs and pulling it upwards.

Cleaning the water inlet filter*

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.

Clean the water inlet filter at the tap outlet regularly.

-Turn off the water tap.

-Unscrew the end of the water inlet hose, remove the filter and clean it carefully under running water.

-Re-place the filter and screw the water hose back into position.

The dishwasher should 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 instructions below:

1. Turn the cylindrical filter C in an anti-clockwise direction and pull it out (fig. 1).

2. Remove the cup filter B by exerting a slight pressure on the side flaps (fig. 2);

3. Slide out the stainless-steel plate filter A. (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.

Leaving the machine unused for extended periods

•Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply and shut off the water tap.

•Leave the door of the appliance ajar.

•When you return, run a wash cycle when the dishwasher is empty.

*Only available in selected models.
