	leaks.
•	Always unplug the appliance when cleaning it and
	when performing maintenance work.

	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.

Cleaning the filters

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).
