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 a good idea to remove the larger food particles trapped in the

filter after each wash cycle by rinsing the "A" semi-circular filter

and cup 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 "A" semicircular filter and the "B" fine

filter) should be cleaned at least once a month. To clean the filter

and the fine filter, use a cleaning brush. Then, reassemble the

filter parts as shown in the figures below and reinsert the entire

aseembly in the dishwasher, positioning in its seat and pressing

downward.

The dishwasher must never be used without the filters. Improper

replacement of the filters may reduce level of the appliance and

damage dishes and utensils.

Cleaning the Spray Arms

It may happen that food particle become encrusted on the sprayer

arms and block the hole. Check the sprayer arms periodically

and clean them when needed. (see "Close up view [interior]",

letters C-E ).

Cleaning the Water Inlet Filter

Periodically clean the water inlet filter located on the outlet of the

water supply tap.

After turning off the wter tap, unscew 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.

Troubleshooting

It may occur that the dishwasher does not function or does not

function properly. Before calling for assistance, Iet us see what

can be done first: have you forgotten to press one of the buttons

or to perfom 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 on and has

  sufficient pressure;

- the water supply hose is crimped or bent;

- the filter for the water supply hose is clogged.

The Dishes Are Not Clean

Have you checked whether:

- the water is turned on and the hose is

  connected properly;

- the water supply to the house on and has

  sufficient pressure;

- the water supply hose is crimped or bent;

- the filter for the water supply hose is clogged.

- the drain hose is crimped or bent.

Lime Deposits or a White Film Form on the Dishes

Have you checked whether:

- 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.
