CARE AND MAINTENANCE

CLEANING THE FILTER ASSEMBLY
Regularly clean the fi lter assembly so that the fi lters do not clog and
that the waste water fl ows away correctly.
The fi lter assembly consists of three fi lters which remove food residues
from the washing water and then recirculate the water: to obtain the
best washing results, you need to keep them clean.
The dishwasher must not be used without fi lters or if the fi lter is
loose.
After several washes, check the fi lter assembly and if necessary clean it
thoroughly under running water, using a non-metallic brush and follo-
wing the instructions below:
1. Turn the cylindrical fi lter A in an anti-clockwise direction and pull
it out (Fig 1).
2. Remove the cup fi lter B by exerting a slight pressure on the side
fl aps (Fig 2).
3. Slide out the stainless-steel plate fi lter C (Fig 3).
4. Inspect the trap and remove any food residues. NEVER REMOVE
the wash-cycle pump protection (black detail) (Fig 4).

CLEANING THE SPRAY ARMS

On occasions, food residue may become encrusted onto the spray
arms and block the holes used to spray the water. It is therefore recom-
mended that you check the arms from time to time and clean them
with a small non-metallic brush.
To remove the upper spray arm, turn the plastic locking ring in an
anti-clockwise direction. The upper spray arm should be replaced so
that the side with the greater number of holes is facing upwards.
The lower spray arm may be removed by pulling it upwards.
CLEANING THE WATER INLET HOSE
If the water hoses are new or have not been used for an extended
period of time, let the water run to make sure it is clear and free of
impurities before performing the necessary connections. If this
precaution is not taken, the water inlet could become blocked and da-
mage the dishwasher.
