The dishwasher is not to be used without filters. Improper replace- ment of the filters may reduce the efficiency of the wash and even damage your dishwasher.
Cleaning the Sprayer Arms
It may happen that food particles become encrusted on the sprayer arms and block the holes. Check the sprayer arms periodically and clean them when needed (see
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.

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: have you forgot to press one of the buttons or to perform an essential operation?

-the plug is pushed into the socket correctly;
-the power is on in the house;

-the water supply is turned on.

Error messages.
Your dishwasher is equipped with a safety system which is able to detect any operating anomalies. These anomalies are reported by one or two wash cycle indicator lights "C" flashing rapidly.
Take a note of which lights are flashing, turn the appliance off and call for technical assistance.
Tap off alarm
If you have forgotten to turn the water tap on, your appliance will remind you of this by sounding a few short beeps for a few minutes. Turn the tap on and your appliance will start up again after a few minutes. Were you to be absent when these beeps are sounded, the appliance will be blocked automatically and indicator lights 2 and 3 (Normal and Soak) will flash rapidly. Turn the appliance off at the
Clogged filter alarm
If the appliance is blocked and indicator lights 1 (Intensive) and 3 (Soak) flash rapidly, this means the filter is clogged by large particles of food residue. Turn the appliance off, clean the filter thoroughly and reposition it in its seat as illustrated on this page. Then turn it back on. Repeat the programming operations and the selected wash cycle will start up again.
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.
