4.1General warnings and recommendations

Avoid the use of acidic or abrasive detergents.

Clean the outer surfaces and door-lining of the dishwasher regularly using a soft cloth moistened with water or with a normal detergent suitable for painted surfaces. Clean the door gaskets with a damp sponge. Periodically (once or twice a year) it is advisable to clean the tank and gaskets, using a soft cloth and water to remove any deposits.

CLEANING THE WATER INTAKE FILTER

The water intake filter A located at the outlet of the water supply tap needs to be cleaned periodically.

After having closed the water supply tap, unscrew the end of the water intake hose, remove the filter A and clean it delicately under running water. Reassemble filter A in its seat and carefully screw the water intake hose back into position.

CLEANING THE SPRAY ARMS

The spray arms can be easily removed for periodic cleaning of the nozzles, to prevent possible clogging. Wash them under running water and carefully replace them in their seats, checking that their rotary movement is in no way impeded.

To remove the upper spray arm, unscrew locking ring R.

To remove the orbital spray arm assembly, take hold of the longer arm and pull the orbital unit upward. Wash the arms under a jet of running water and return them carefully to their seat. After reassembly, check that the spray arms turn freely. Otherwise, check that they have been installed correctly.
