Before carrying out any work, always disconnect the appliance from the electrical power supply.

5.1General 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.

CLEANING THE SPRAY ARM, TRAVELLING VERSION

To remove the TRAVELLING spray arm, take hold of it and raise it to release both the spray arm and the pipe from the tank, then detach the spray arm from the pipe. Wash both the pipe and the spray arm in running water, re-attach the spray arm to the pipe and return the assembly to the seat provided in the tank.

Once the assembly has been put back in place, check that the spray arm turns freely (turn through a couple of revolutions by hand) and that the pipe is able to travel without impediments. Otherwise, check that it has been fitted correctly.
