•	Any marks on the inside of the appliance may be

Preventing unpleasant odours
•	Always keep the door of the appliance ajar in order to
	avoid moisture from forming and being trapped inside
	the machine.
•	Clean the seals around the door and detergent
	dispensers regularly using a damp sponge. This will
	avoid food becoming trapped in the seals, which is
	the main cause behind the formation of unpleasant
	odours.

Clean the filters regularly.

The dishwasher should not be used without filters, or if the filter is loose.

•After several washes, check the filter assembly and if necessary clean it thoroughly under running water, using a non-metallic brush and following the instructions below:

1. Turn the cylindrical filter C in an anti-clockwise direction and pull it out (fig. 1).

2. Remove the cup filter B by exerting a slight pressure on the side flaps (fig. 2).

3. Slide out the stainless steel plate filter A (fig. 3).

4. Inspect the trap and remove any food residue. NEVER REMOVE the wash cycle pump (black detail) (fig. 4).
