J8 Machine cleaning
ATTENTION!
Before carrying out any main-
tenance operations, turn off
the power at the mains (except
in versions with drain pump).
ATTENTION ATTENTION
The following operations must be carried out by
operators provided with suitable personal protec-
tion equipment (e.g. protective gloves, etc.) and
with the machine switched off and cold.
Cleaning must be carried out after every day of use. Use
hot water, a neutral detergent/cleaner if necessary, and a
soft brush or sponge. If another type of detergent is used,
carefully follow the producer's instructions and observe
the safety rules given in the information sheets provided
with the product or substance.
In order to reduce the environmental impact of pollut-
ants it is advisable to clean the appliance (externally
and, where necessary, internally) with products that
are more than 90% biodegradable.
• Periodically have the appliance totally checked (at
least once a year). For this purpose it is recom-
mended to draw up a maintenance contract.
• Descale the rinse jets each month using vinegar or
a descaling agent.
• Leave the door open when not using the appliance
for a longer period
ATTENTION!
Do not use steel wool or similar material to
clean stainless steel surfaces. Do not use
detergents containing chlorine.
ATTENTION!
Contact with chemical substances (e.g.
detergent, rinse aid, scale remover, etc.)
without taking appropriate safety precau-
tions (e.g. personal protection equipment)
can involve exposure to chemical risk and
possible damage to health. Therefore
always refer to the safety data sheets and
labels on the products used.

ment.

J8.1.1 Water drain and cleaning of the washing
tank
The water must be changed and the tank cleaned reg-
ularly.

overflow pipe from its housing and press the but-
ton "Drain / self-cleaning cycle (C)" until the
washing tank is empty.

- Remove any residues on the bottom of the tank
with a sponge and wash with clean water. For

and vinegar solution. Do not use abrasive deter-
gents or powers that might damage the internal
parts. To eliminate any incrustation, use a
sponge or brush with soft plastic bristles.

level in the tank.
J8.1.2

Cleaning the tank filter:

If the machine fails to wash correctly, make sure the fil-
ter is not dirty or clogged. It is a good idea to check
this, at least every 20 cycles, when the tub is empty,
whenever the washing water is changed.
• Removing and cleaning the filter.
- Take out the filter and wash it under a strong jet
of water. In case of difficult deposits or residues,
use a common detergent for dishes and a brush
with soft plastic bristles.
• • Fitting the filter.
- Fit the filter back into previous position.
ATTENTION!
Make sure the filter is properly fitted back
in its housing otherwise the machine may
not work properly.
Never use the machine without the filter.
J8.1.3

Cleaning the washer and rinse arms

If the machine does not wash properly, make sure that
the spray nozzles are not blocked.
It is a good idea to perform a weekly check to ensure
correct operation of the washing and rinsing nozzles.
• Removal of the washing "3" and rinsing arms "4"
(Figure 15).
- Loosen and remove the retention screws of
upper and lower arms.
• Checking and cleaning the rinsing nozzles.
- Make sure the nozzles are free of any impurities
preventing the correct flow of water. In the event
of scale, treat the unit with a specific scale pre-
vention product according to the specific product
use instructions.
• Fit the lower and upper washer and rinse arms and
fasten them in position by means of the relevant
retention screws.
The dishwasher is now ready to start the normal work-
ing functions.
