CLEANING THE FILTER UNIT

It is advisable to periodically inspect the centre filter C and, if necessary, to clean it. To remove the filter, grip the tabs, turn them anticlockwise and lift upwards;

push the centre filter D from the underside to remove it from the micro-filter:

separate the two parts which make up the plastic filter by pressing the body of the filter in the zone shown by the arrows;

remove the centre filter by lifting it upwards.

GENERAL WARNINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CORRECT MAINTENANCE:

The filters should be cleaned under running water using a stiff brush.

When removing the filter, take care that there are no food residues on it. If any residues fall into the washing pit they might block hydraulic components, or foul the spray arm nozzles.

It is essential to thoroughly clean the filters according to the above instructions: the dishwasher cannot function if the filters are clogged.

Carefully replace the filters in their seats, to avoid damaging the wash pump.

PROLONGED DISUSE:

Run the soak program twice in succession.

Unplug the power cord from the socket.

Leave the door slightly open, in order to prevent the formation of unpleasant odours inside the washing tank.

Fill the rinse aid dispenser.

Shut off the water supply tap.
