Cleaning and special maintenance
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
inside the cup
C
and the semi-
circular filter
A
after each wash;
pull the cup handle upwards to
remove them. Just rinse them
under running water.
The entire filter assembly should
be cleaned thoroughly once a
month: cup C + semi-circular filter
A + cylindrical filter B. Rotate filter
B anticlockwise to remove it.
For cleaning, use a non metallic
brush.
Reassemble the filter parts (as
shown in the figure) and reinsert
the whole assembly into the
dishwasher. Position it into its
housing and press downwards.
The dishwasher is not to be used
without filters. Improper
replacement of the filters may re-
duce the efficiency of the wash
and even damage your
dishwasher.
Cleaning the sprayer
arms.
Food residue may become
encrusted onto the sprayer arms
and block the holes where water
comes out. Check the sprayer 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 tighten the water supply hose
back into position.
Once in a while,
once a month,
spend a little time
on the filter
assembly and the
sprayer arms.
Keep your dishwasher in shape
Respecting these few rules ensures you will always
have a reliable work companion by your side.
After every wash.
When the wash cycle has ended,
always remember to turn off the
water supply tap and to leave the
appliance door ajar. This way,
moisture and bad odours will not
be trapped inside.
Unplug the appliance.
Before carrying out any cleaning
or maintenance on the dishwasher,
always remove the plug from the
electricity socket. Do not run risks.
No solvents! No 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 on holiday?
When you go away for an extended
period of time, we recommend you
do the following:
run a cycle with the dishwasher
empty
turn off the water inlet tap.
leave the appliance door ajar
This will help the seals last longer
and prevent unpleasant odours
from forming inside the appliance.
Moving the appliance.
Should the appliance have to be
moved, try to keep it in a vertical
position. If absolutely necessary, it
can be positioned on its back.
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.
Your dishwasher is not a waste
disintegrator!
Do not worry about removing every
single bit of food residue from your
dishes, but do get rid of bones, peel and
rind and any other left-overs before
placing them in the racks. Empty out
all glasses and cups.
