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

•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.
