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 as- sembly (made up of the "A" semicircular filter and the "B" fine filter) should be cleaned at; east 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.

The dishwasher must never be used without the filters. Improper replacement of the filters may reduce the performance level of the appliance and damage dishes and utensils.

Cleaning the Spray Arms

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

Cleaning the Water Inlet Filter

Periodically clean the water inlet filter (see fig.1/A) located on the outlet of the water supply tap.

After turning off the water tap, unscrew the end of the water sup- ply 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, See what can be done first: Have you forgotten to press one of the buttons or to perform an essential operation?

The dishwasher does not drain

Have you checked whether:

- the drain hose is crimped or bend.

minutes and the wash efficiency slightly reduced.
	Attention:
	The appliance is to be connected to the water mains using new
	hose-sets and old hose-sets should not be reused!

The dishwasher does not start

Have you checked whether:

-the plug is pushed into the socket correctly;

-the power is on in the house;

-the door is closed properly;

-the ON-OFF switch is on "ON";

-the water supply is turned on.

Have you checked whether:

-the lid to the salt container is closed properly;

-the rinse aid dosage is correct.

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 and the serial number which are indicated on the plate located on the side of the inner part of the door.

Installation

Drain Hose Connection

Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe with a minimum diameter of 4cm, or let it run into the sink, making sure to avoid bending or crimping it. Use the special plastic support that comes with the appliance (see Fig.2). The free end of the hose must be at a height between 40 and 100 cm and must not be immersed in water.

Attention:

The special plastic hose support must be solidly fastened to the wall to prevent the drain hose from moving and allowing water to spill outside the drain.

Electrical Connection

After making sure that the voltage and frequency values for the current in the home correspond to those on the rating plate (located

The dishwasher does not load water

Have you checked whether:

-the water is turned on and the hose is connected properly;

-the water supply to the house is on and has sufficient pressure;

-the water supply hose is crimped or bend;

-the filter for the water supply hose is clogged.

Never call on unauthorised technicians and refuse to allow

on the stainless steel inner door of the appliance) and that the electrical system is sized for the maximum voltage on the rating plate, insert the plug into an electrical socket which is earthed prop- erly (the earthing of the appliance is a safety requirement man- dated by law).

If the electrical socket to which the appliance must be connected is not appropriate for the plug, replace the plug rather than using adapters or the like as they could cause overheating and burns.
