Care and maintenance

Shutting off the water and electricity
supplies
•	Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle to avoid
	leaks.
•	Always unplug the appliance when cleaning it and when
	performing maintenance work.
Cleaning the dishwasher
•	The external surfaces of the machine and the control
	panel may be cleaned using a non-abrasive cloth which
	has been dampened with water. Do not use solvents or
	abrasive products.
•	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.

Clean the water inlet filter at the tap outlet regularly.	EN
- Turn off the water tap.

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

-Replace the filter and screw the water hose back into position.

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.

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 residue. NEVER REMOVE the wash cycle pump (black detail) (fig. 4).

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 the arms are checked from time to time

and cleaned with a small non-metallic brush.

The two sprayer arms may both be removed.

To remove the upper sprayer arm,

rotate the locking ring in an anti-

clockwise direction.

The upper sprayer arm should be

replaced with the holes 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.

After cleaning the filters, replace 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.
