Cleaning and Special Maintenance

Filter Assembly

For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be cleaned.

The filter efficiently removes food particles from the wash water, allowing it to be recirculated during the cycle. For this reason, it is advisable to remove the larger food particles trapped in the filter after each wash cycle by rinsing the semi-circular filter and cup (A) under running water. To remove the filter assembly, pull on the cup handle in the upward direction. The entire filter as- sembly (made up of the semicircular filter (A) and the fine filter (B)) should be cleaned at least once a month. To clean the filter and fine filter, use a cleaning brush. Then, reassemble the filter parts as shown in the figures below and refit the entire assembly in the dishwasher, positioning it in its seat and pressing downward. The dishwasher must never be used without the filters. Improper replacement of the filters may reduce the performance of the appliance and damage dishes and utensils.

Cleaning the Spray Arms

It may happen that food particles become encrusted on the sprayer arms and block the hole (see "Close up view [interior]", letters C-E). Check the sprayer arms periodically and clean them when needed.

Troubleshooting

It may occur that the dishwasher does not function or does not function properly. Before calling for assistance, see what can be done first: have you forgotten to press one of the buttons or to perform an essential operation?

The Dishwasher Does Not Start

Have you checked whether:

-the plug is pushed into the socket correctly;

-the power is on in the house;

-the door is closed properly;

-the ON-OFF switch is on "ON";

-the water supply is turned on.

The Dishwasher Does Not Load Water

Have you checked whether:

-the water is turned on and the hose is connected properly;

-the water supply to the house is on and has sufficient pressure;

-the water supply hose is crimped or bent;

-the filter for the water supply hose is clogged.

The Dishes Are Not Clean

Have you checked whether:

- the water is turned on and the hose is connected properly;

-the water supply to the house is on and has sufficient pressure;

-the water supply hose is crimped or bent;

-the filter for the water supply hose is clogged.

The Dishwasher Does Not Drain

Have you checked whether:

- the drain hose is crimped or bent.

Lime Deposits or a White Film Form on the Dishes

Have you checked whether:

-the lid of the salt container is closed properly;

-the rinse aid dosage is correct.

If, despite all these checks, the dishwasher still does not function and/or the problem persists, contact the nearest authorised ser- vice centre and provide the following information:

-the nature of the problem;

-the model type number (Mod...) and the serial number (S/N...), which are indicated on the plate located on the side of the inner part of the door.

Never call unauthorised technicians and refuse to allow parts

to be installed that are not original spare parts.
