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
removed from the wash water,
allowing it to be recirculated
during the cycle, filtered
perfectly. For this reason, it is
a good idea to remove the
larger food particles trapped
inside the cup “C” and the
semi-circular filter A after each
wash; pull the cup handle upwards to 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.

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.

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
A
It may happen that food particle become encrusted on the
sprayer arms and block the holes (see "Close up view (interior)",
letters F-I). Check the sprayer arms periodically and clean
them when needed.
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.
