Cleaning and Special Maintenance

The filter assembly

If you want consistent good results from your dishwasher, you need to clean the filter assembly.

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

 

1

 

 

 

 

remove the larger food

B

2

A

particles trapped inside the

 

 

 

cup “C” and the semi-circular

 

 

 

filter A after each wash; pull

 

 

 

the cup handle upwards to

 

C

 

remove them. Just rinse them

 

 

 

 

 

under running water.

 

 

 

The entire filter assembly should be cleaned thoroughly once a month: cup C + semi-circular filter A + cylindrical filter B. Rotate filter “B” anticlockwise to remove it.

For cleaning, use a non metallic brush.

Reassemble the filter parts (as shown in the figure) and reinsert the whole assembly into the dishwasher. Position it into its housing and press downwards.

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.

Food residue may become encrusted onto the sprayer arms and block the holes where water comes out. Check the sprayer arms regularly and clean them once in a while (letters F and I “How is it made?”).

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.

Error messages.

Your dishwasher is equipped with a safety system which is able to detect any operating anomalies. These anomalies are reported by one or two wash cycle indicator lights "G" flashing rapidly.

Take a note of which lights are flashing, turn the appliance off and call for technical assistance.

Tap off alarm

If you have forgotten to turn the water tap on, your appliance will remind you of this by sounding a few short beeps for a few minutes. Turn the tap on and your appliance will start up again after a few minutes. Were you to be absent when these beeps are sounded, the appliance will be blocked automatically and indicator lights 2 and 3 (wash and rinses) will flash rapidly. Turn the appliance off at the ON- OFF button, turn on the water tap and wait approximately 20 seconds before turning the appliance back on; repeat the programming operations and the selected wash cycle will start up again.

Clogged filter alarm

If the appliance is blocked and indicator lights 1 (pre-wash) and 3 (rinses) flash rapidly, this means the filter is clogged by large particles of food residue. Turn the appliance off, clean the filter thoroughly and reposition it in its seat as illustrated on this page. Then turn it back on. Repeat the programming operations and the wash cycle will start up again.

Water load solenoid valve malfunction alarm.

If indicator light 2 (wash) flashes rapidly, TURN the dishwasher OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN after one minute. If the alarm persists, first turn off the water tap to avoid any flooding and then cut off the electricity supply and call for technical assistance.

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.
