Care and maintenance

EN

Shutting off the water and electricity
supplies
•	Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle to avoid leaks.
•	Always unplug the appliance when cleaning it and when
	performing maintenance work.
Cleaning the dishwasher
•	The external surfaces of the machine and the control panel
	can 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.
•	Clean the seals around the door and detergent dispensers
	regularly using a damp sponge. This will avoid food becoming
	trapped in the seals, which is the main cause behind the
	formation of unpleasant odours.
Cleaning the sprayer arms
Food residue may become encrusted onto the sprayer arms
and block the holes used to spray the water. It is therefore
recommended that you check the arms from time to time and
clean them with a small non-metallic brush.
The two sprayer arms may both be removed.
	To remove the upper sprayer arm,
	turn the plastic locking ring in an
	anti-clockwise direction. The upper
	sprayer arm should be replaced
	so that the side with the greater
	number of holes is facing upwards.
	The lower sprayer arm can be
	removed by pressing on the side
	tabs and pulling it upwards.

Cleaning the water inlet filter* If the water hoses are new or have not been used for an extended period of time, let the water run to make sure it is clear and free of impurities before performing the necessary connections. If this precaution is not taken, the water inlet could become blocked and damage the dishwasher.

Clean the water inlet filter at the tap outlet regularly.

-Turn off the water tap.

-Unscrew the end of the water inlet hose, remove the filter and clean it carefully under running water.

-Re-place the filter and screw the water hose back into position.

Cleaning the filters

The filter assembly consists of three filters which remove food residues from the washing water and then recirculate the water. They should be cleaned if you wish to achieve the best results in every wash.

Clean the filters regularly.

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 residues. NEVER REMOVE the wash-cycle pump protection (black detail) (fig.4).

After cleaning the filters, re-place the filter assembly and fix it in position correctly; this is essential for maintaining the efficient operation of the dishwasher.

Leaving the machine unused for extended periods

•Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply and shut off the water tap.

•Leave the door of the appliance ajar.

•When you return, run a wash cycle when the dishwasher is empty.

*Only available in selected models.
