Cleaning and Special Maintenance
Filter Assembly
For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be
cleaned.
The filter efficiently removes food particles from the wash water,
allowing it to be recirculated during the cycle. For this reason, it
is advisable to remove the larger food particles trapped in the
filter after each wash cycle by rinsing the semi-circular filter and
cup (A) under running water. To remove the filter assembly, pull
on the cup handle in the upward direction. The entire filter as-
sembly (made up of the semicircular filter (A) and fine filter (B))
should be cleaned at least once a month. To clean the filter and
fine filter, use a cleaning brush. Then, reassemble the filter parts
as shown in the figures below and refit the entire assembly in the
dishwasher, positioning it in its seat and pressing downward.
The dishwasher must never be used without the filters. Improper
replacement of the filters may reduce the performance of the
appliance and damage dishes and utensils.
Troubleshooting
It may occur that the dishwasher does not function or does not
function properly. Before calling for assistance, See what can
be done first: have you forgotten 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 bend;
- the filter for the water supply hose is clogged.
Cleaning the Spray Arms
It may happen that food particles become encrusted on the
sprayer arms and block the holes (see "Close up view [interior]",
letters D-F ). Check the sprayer arms periodically and clean them
when needed.

Cleaning the Water Inlet Filter
Periodically clean the water inlet filter located on the outlet of the
water supply tap.
After turning off the water tap, unscrew the end of the water sup-
ply hose, remove the filter and clean it carefully under running
water. Then, return the filter to its place and tighten the water
supply hose back into position.
The Dishwasher Does Not Drain
Have you checked whether:
- the drain hose is crimped or bend.
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.
If, despite all these checks, the dishwasher still does not function
and/or the problem persists, contact the nearest authorised ser-
vice 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.

Installation
Positioning the Appliance
Position the appliance in the desired location. The back should
rest against the wall, and the sides along the adjacent cabinets
or wall. The dishwasher is equipped with water supply and drain
hoses that can be positioned to the right or the left to facilitate
proper installation.
Levelling the Appliance
Once the appliance is positioned, adjust the feet (screwing them
in or out) of the dishwasher until it is level. In any case, the
appliance should not be inclined more than 2 . If the appliance
is level, it will help ensure proper performance.
Cold Water Connection
Connect the cold water supply hose to a threaded 3/4 (gas)
connector and makeing sure that it is fastened tightly in place
(see Fig.1).
If the water pipes are new or have not been used for an ex-
tended period of time, let the water run to make sure that the
water is clear and free of impurities. If this precaution is not
taken, there is a risk that the water inlet can get blocked and
damage the appliance.
Hot Water Connection
The water supply to the appliance can also be connected to
the house's hot water line (centralised system, heating system),
as long as it does not exceed a temperature of 60 .In this
case, the wash cycle time will be shortened by about 15 min-
utes and the wash efficiency slightly reduced.
The connection must be made to the hot water line following
the same procedures as those for the connection to the cold
water line.
Anti-Flooding Protection
The dishwasher is equipped with a system that stops the supply
of water in the event of a problem with the water supply hose, or
leaks within the unit, in order to prevent damage to your home. If
for any reason the box containing the electrical components hap-
pens to get damaged, remove the plug of the appliance from the
socket immediately. In order to guarantee that the anti-flooding
GB
GB
feature operates properly, the box "A" with the water supply hose
must be attached to the water supply tap as shown in Fig.1. No
other type of connection is acceptable. The water supply hose
must not, under any circumstances, be cut, as it contains electri-
cal parts which are live. If the length of the hose is not adequate
to make a proper connection, the hose must be replaced with
one which is long enough. This hose is available upon request
from specialised retailers and service centres.
Drain Hose Connection
Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe with a minimum diameter
of 4cm, or let it run into the sink, making sure to avoid bending
or crimping it. Use the special plastic support that comes with
the appliance (see Fig.2). The free end of the hose must be at
a height between 40 and 100 cm and must not be immersed in
water.
Attention:
The special plastic hose support must be solidly fastened to
the wall to prevent the drain hose from moving and allowing
water to spill outside the drain.
Electrical Connection
After making sure that the voltage and frequency values for the
current in the home correspond to those on the rating plate (lo-
cated on the stainless steel inner door of the appliance) and
that the electrical system is sized for the maximum voltage on
the rating plate, insert the plug into an electrical socket which is
earthed properly (the earthing of the appliance is a safety re-
Fig.1
quirement mandated by law).
If the electrical socket to which the appliance must be connected
is not appropriate for the plug, replace the plug rather than us-
ing adaptors or the like as they could cause overheating and
burns.
