Cleaning and maintenance

ATTENTION: Always unplug the appliance when cleaning it and
when performing maintenance work. Do not use flammable
liquids to clean the machine.
Cleaning the dishwasher
Any marks on the inside of the appliance may
be removed using a cloth dampened with water
anda little vinegar.
The external surfaces of the machine and the
control panel can be cleaned using a non-
abrasive cloth which has been dampened with
water. Do not use solvents or abrasive products.
Preventing unpleasant odours
Always keep the door of the appliance ajar in order to avoid
moisture from forming and being trapped inside the machine.
Clean the seals around the door and detergent dispensers
regularly using a damp sponge. This will avoid food becoming
trapped in the seals, which is the main cause behind the
formation of unpleasant odours.
Cheking the water supply hose
Check the inlet hose regularly for brittleness and cracks. If
damaged, replace it by a new hose available through our After-
Sales Service or your specialist dealer. Depending on the hose
type:
If the inlet hose has a transparent coating, periodically check
if the colour intensifies locally. If yes, the hose may have a leak
and should be replaced.
For water stop hoses: check the small safety valve inspection
window (see arrow). If it is red, the water stop function was
triggered, and the hose must be replaced by a new one.
For unscrewing this hose, press the release button while
unscrewing the hose.
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 damage the dishwasher.
Cleaning the filter assembly
Regularly clean the filter assembly so that the filters do not clog
and that the waste water flows away correctly.
Using dishwasher with clogged filters or foreign objects inside fil-
tration system or sprayarms may cause unit malfunction resulting
in lose of performance, noisy work or higher resources usage.
The filter assembly consists of three filters which remove food
residues from the washing water and then recirculate the water.
The dishwasher must not be used without filters or if the
filter is loose.
At least once per month or after each 30 cycles, check the filter as-
sembly and if necessary clean it thoroughly under running water,
using a non-metallic brush and following the instructions below:
1. Turn the cylindrical filter A in an anti-clockwise direction and
pull it out (Fig 1).
2. Remove the cup filter B by exerting a slight pressure on the
side flaps (Fig 2).
3. Slide out the stainless-steel plate filter C (Fig 3).
4. In case you find foreign objects (such as broken glass,
porcelain, bones, fruit seeds etc.) please remove them
carefully.
5. Inspect the trap and remove any food residues. NEVER
REMOVE the wash-cycle pump protection (black detail) (Fig 4).

After cleaning the filters, replace the filter assembly and fix it in
position correctly; this is essential for maintaining the efficient
operation of the dishwasher.
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
recommended 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 a
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
and rotating it anti-clockwise.
