Care and Cleaning

Unplug the appliance.
Before carrying out any cleaning or
maintenance on the dishwasher,
always remove the plug from the
electricity socket.
The filter assembly.
If you want consistent good
results from your
dishwasher, you need to
clean the filter assembly.
The food particles are
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 in
the inside the semi-circular
filter "A" and the cup "C"
after each wash; to remove
the filter assembly pull the
cup handle upwards. All
you need to do is rinse
them under running water.
The entire filter assembly
should be cleaned
thoroughly once a month:
semi-circular filter "A" +
cup "C" + cylindrical filter
"B" + microfilter "D".

To remove filter "B", turn it
anti-clockwise. Use a small
non-metallic brush for
cleaning.

(as shown in the figure)
and reinsert the whole
assembly into the
dishwasher. Position it into

downwards.
The dishwasher is not to
be used without filters.
Improper replacement of
the filters may reduce the
efficincy of the wash and
even damage your

Food residue may become
encrusted onto the spray arms and
block the holes where water comes
out. Check the spray arms regularly
and clean them once in a while.

Cleaning the Water Inlet
Filter
Periodically clean the water inlet filter
(see figure 2 under "Installation")
located on the outlet of the water
supply tap. After turning off the water
tap, unscrew the end of the water
supply hose, remove the filter and
clean it carefully under running water.
Then, return the filter to its place and
A
tighten the water supply hose back
into position.
The seals.
One of the factors that cause
unpleasant odours to form inside the
dishwasher is food that remains
trapped in the seals. Periodic
cleaning using a damp sponge will
prevent this from occurring.
DO NOT use solvents or abrasives
to clean the exterior and rubber parts
of your appliance, do not use
solvents or abrasive cleaning
products. Use a cloth dampened
with lukewarm soapy water only.
If there are any stains on the surface
of the appliance interior, use a cloth
dampened with water and a little
white vinegar, or a cleaning product
specifically made for dishwashers.
Going away
If the dishwasher is not going to be
used for some time, carry out the
following:
run a cycle with the dishwasher
empty.
switch off at the electrical socket
and unplug.
turn off the water supply tap,
disconnect the inlet hose and
allow to drain.
fill the rinse aid dispenser.
leave the door ajar, to prevent the
build up of unpleasant odours
inside the dishwasher.
Before using the dishwasher after a
long break, plug in and switch on at
the electrical socket. Reconnect the
inlet hose and turn on the water
supply tap. Check there are no
deposits of rust inside the water
pipe, if there are allow water to run
from the supply tap for a few
minutes.
Disconnecting the dishwasher.
When disconnecting the dishwasher
it is important that tasks are carried
out in the correct sequence.

disconnect drain and water inlet
hose.
pull out the dishwasher, carefully,
withdrawing hoses at the same
time.
Moving the appliance.
Drain water from the dishwasher.
