Cleaning and Special Maintenance

The filter assembly

If you want consistent good results from your dishwasher, you need to clean the filter assembly; this way the food particles are removed from the wash water, allowing it to be recirculated during the cycle, filtered perfectly. For this reason, it is a good idea to remove the larger food particles trapped inside the cup “C” and semi-circular filter “A” after each wash. All you need to do is rinse them under running water; to remove these, pull the cup handle upwards. The entire filter assembly, comprising a semi-circular filter “A”, a cup “C”, and a cylindrical filter “B” should be cleaned thoroughly once a month. Rotate filter “B” anticlockwise to remove it.

For cleaning, use a non metallic brush.

The dishwasher is not to be used without filters. Improper replacement of the filters may reduce the efficiency of the wash and even damage your dishwasher.

Cleaning the Sprayer Arms It may happen that food particles become encrusted on the sprayer arms and block

the holes.Check the

sprayer arms periodically and clean them when needed (see “Close-up View [interior]”, letters F-I).

Cleaning the Water Inlet Filter

Periodically clean the water inlet filter (see figure 2 under "Installation") located on the outlet of the water supply tap. After turning off the water tap, unscrew the end of the water supply 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, let us see what can be done first: have you forgot to press one of the buttons or to perform an essential operation?

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.

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 bent;

-the filter for the water supply hose is clogged.

The Dishes Are Not Clean

-Have you put the right amount of detergent into the dispenser?

-Is the wash cycle suitable for the dishes you have placed inside the appliance?

-Are the filter and microfilter clean?

-Can the sprayer arms turn freely?

The Dishwasher Does Not Drain

Have you checked whether:

- the drain hose is crimped or bent.

Lime Deposits or a White Film Form on the Dishes 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 type number (Mod. ...) and the serial number (S/N ....), which are indicated on the plate located on the side of the inner part of the door.

Never call on unauthorised technicians and refuse to allow parts to be installed that are not original spare parts.
