Energy Saving Tips
How to keep Your Dishwasher in Shape
After Every Wash
After every wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance and leave the door slightly ajar so that moisture and odors are not trapped inside.
Remove the plug
Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the plug from the socket. Do not run risks.
No solvents or Abrasive Cleaning Products
To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. Rather, use only a cloth and warm soapy water.
To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use a cloth dampened with water and a little while vinegar, or cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.
When You Go on Holiday
When you go on holiday, it is recommended that you run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and then remove the plug from the socket, turn off the water supply and leave the door of the appliance slightly ajar. This will help the seals last longer and prevent odours from forming within the appliance.
Moving the Appliance
If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in a vertical position. If absolutely necessary, it can be positioned on its back.
Seals
One of the factors that cause odours to form in the dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this from occurring.
Cleaning and Special Maintenance
Filter Assembly
For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be cleaned frequently.
The filter efficiently removes food residue 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"
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 with- out the filters. Improper replacement of the filters may reduce the performance level of the appliance and damage dishes and utensils.
Cleaning the Spray Arms
Check the spray arms periodically and clean them when needed.

Cleaning the Water Inlet Filter
Periodically clean the water inlet filter (see figure) 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.
