Once cleaned, refit the filter by pressing them down until they click into place.
Check that the SID is not clogged with detergent residue. If necessary rinse it under running water after having removed it from the basket by twisting it anticlockwise and pulling it upwards.
Fasten it back onto the support by turning it clockwise.

Never use your dishwasher without the SID dispenser. Since SID also ensures correct distribution of the water to the upper spray arm, running the dishwasher without it will impair the washing results.
External cleaning
Clean the external surfaces of the machine and control panel with a damp soft cloth. If necessary use only neutral detergents. Never use abrasive products, scouring pads or solvent (acetone, trichloroethylene etc....).
Cleaning the large filter
(Every week)
Clean the large filter (A) on both sides under running water, using a brush.
To take it out, remove the spray arm by pressing the two
tongues (E), turn the ring (F) anticlockwise and then slide the whole part out. refit the filter following the above instructions in reverse order.

The dishwasher must not be used without filters. Incorrect repositioning and fitting of the filters will produce poor washing results.
Cleaning the filters is vital to ensure correct operation of the machine.
Prolonged periods of non-operation
If you are not using the machine for any period of time you are advised to:
1.Unplug the appliance and then turn off the water.
2.Fill the rinse aid dispenser.
3.Leave the door ajar to prevent the formation of any unpleasant smells.
4.Leave the inside of the machine clean.
Frost precautions
Avoid placing the machine in a location where the temperature is
below 0°C. If this is unavoidable, empty the machine, close the appliance door, disconnect the water inlet pipe and empty it.

1.Unplug it.
2.Turn the water tap off.
3.Remove the water inlet and discharge hoses.
