Filter assembly
If you want consistent good results from your dishwasher, you need to clean the filter assembly.
Food particles are removed from the wash water, when the water is recirculated during the cycle filtering the water 100%. For this reason, it is a good idea to remove the larger food particles trapped inside the cup “C” and the semi- circular filter A after each wash; pull the cup handle upwards to remove them. Just rinse them under running water.
The entire filter assembly should be cleaned

thoroughly once a month: cup C +
Rotate filter “B” anticlockwise to remove it. For cleaning, use a non metallic brush.
Reassemble the filter parts (as shown in the figure) and reinsert the whole assembly into the
dishwasher. Position it into its housing and press downwards.
Never use the dishwasher without the
filter in place. Improper replacement of the filters may reduce the efficiency of the wash and even damage your dishwasher.
Once in a while, once a month, spend a little time on the filter assembly and the sprayer arms.
Cleaning the sprayer arms.
Food residue may become encrusted onto the sprayer arms and block the holes where water comes out. Check the sprayer arms regularly and clean them once in a while (letters F and I “How is it made?”).
Keep your dishwasher in shape
Respecting these few rules ensures you will always have a reliable work companion by your side.
After every wash.
When the wash cycle has ended, always remenber to leave the appliance door ajar. This way, moisture and bad odours will not be trapped inside.
Unplug the appliance.
Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance on the dishwasher, always remove the plug from the electricity socket. Do not run risks.
Going on holiday?
When you go away for an extended period of time, we recommend you do the following:
•run a cycle with the dishwasher empty
•turn off the water inlet tap.
•leave the appliance door ajar
This will help the seals last longer and prevent unpleasant odours from forming inside the appliance.
No solvents! No abrasives!
To clean the exterior and rubber parts of your appliance, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. Use a cloth dampened with lukewarm soapy water only. If there are any stains on the surface of the appliance interior, use a cloth dampened with water and a little white vinegar, or a cleaning product specifically made for dishwashers.
Moving the appliance.
Should the appliance have to be moved, try to keep it in a vertical position. If absolutely necessary, it can be positioned on its back.
The seals.
One of the factors that cause unpleasant odours to form inside the dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning using a damp sponge will prevent this from occurring.
Do not worry about removing every single bit of food residue from your dishes, but do get rid of bones, peel and rind and any other
