Care and maintenance

Shutting off the water and electricity

supplies

• Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle to avoid

leaks.

• Always unplug the appliance when cleaning it and when

performing maintenance work.

Cleaning the dishwasher

• The external surfaces of the machine and the control

panel may be cleaned using a non-abrasive cloth which
has been dampened with water. Do not use solvents or
abrasive products.

• Any marks on the inside of the appliance may be

removed using a cloth dampened with water and a little
vinegar.

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.

Cleaning the sprayer arms

Food residue may become encrusted onto the sprayer arms
and block the holes used to spray the water. It is therefore
recommended that the arms are checked from time to time
and cleaned with a small non-metallic brush.
The two sprayer arms may both be removed.

To remove the upper sprayer
arm, rotate the locking ring in
an anti-clockwise direction.
The upper sprayer arm should
be replaced with the holes
facing upwards.

The lower sprayer arm can be
removed by pulling it upwards.

Cleaning the water inlet filter*

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.

Clean the water inlet filter at the tap outlet regularly.

- Turn off the water tap.
- Unscrew the end of the water inlet hose, remove the filter
and clean it carefully under running water.
- Replace the filter and screw the water hose back into
position.

Cleaning the filters

The filter assembly consists of three filters which remove
food residues from the washing water and then recirculate
the water. They should be cleaned if you wish to achieve
the best results in every wash.

Clean the filters regularly.

The dishwasher should not be used without filters, or if

the filter is loose.

• After several washes, check the filter assembly and if
necessary clean it thoroughly under running water, using
a non-metallic brush and following the instructions below:

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.

Leaving the machine unused for

extended periods

• Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply and

shut off the water tap.

• Leave the door of the appliance ajar.

• When you return, run a wash cycle when the dishwasher

is empty.
