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 assembly (made up of the "A" semicircular filter and the "B" fine filter) should be cleaned at least 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.

Cleaning the Sprayer
Arms

It may happen that food particle become encrusted on the sprayer arms and block the holes (see "Close up view (interior)", letters F-I). Check the sprayer arms periodically and clean them when needed.

Cleaning the Water Inlet Filter

Periodically clean the water inlet filter (see figure 2 under "Installation") located on the outlet of the water supply tap. After turning off the water tap, unscrew the end of the water supply 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, let us see what can be done first.

Lime Deposits or a White Film Form on the Dishes

Have you checked whether:

Error messages

The dishwasher is equipped with a safety system which is able to detect any operating anomalies. These anomalies are signalled by some messages flashing on the counter. When H2O is flashing, you should cancel the wash cycle as described in the paragraph entitled “Cancelling or modifying a wash cycle in progress”, then check whether there is any water in the mains supply and that the water tap has been turned on. Restart the appliance following the instructions provided and if the message persists, then call for Technical Assistance. In all other cases, remember the message which is flashing on the counter, turn the appliance off and call for technical assistance, stating which message was flashing.

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;

-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 on unauthorised technicians and refuse to allow parts to be installed that are not original spare parts.
