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 a good idea to remove the larger food particles trapped in the filter after each wash cycle by rinsing the "A" semi-circular filter and cup 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 "A" semicircular filter and the "B" fine filter) should be cleaned at; east once a month. To clean the filter and the fine filter, use a cleaning brush. Then, reassemble the filter parts as shown in the figures below and reinsert the entire assembly in the dishwasher, positioning in its seat and pressing downward.

The dishwasher must never be used without the filters. Improper replacement of the filters may reduce the performance level 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 holes (see "Close up view interior", letters C-E ). Check the sprayer arms periodically and clean them when needed.

Cleaning the Water Inlet Filter

Periodically clean the water inlet filter (see fig.1/A) located on the outlet of the water supply tap.

After turning off the water tap, unscrew the end of the water sup- ply hose, remove the filter and clean it carefully under running water. Then, return the filter to its place and tighten the water supply hose back into position.

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?

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

-the nature of the problem;
