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 

can 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 spray arms

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.
The two spray arms may both be removed.

To remove the upper spray arm, 
turn the plastic locking ring in an 
anti-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 can be 
removed by pressing on the side 
tabs and pulling it upwards.

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.

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.
- Re-place 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 must be cleaned if you wish to achieve the best results in 
every wash.

Clean the filters regularly.

The dishwasher must 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: 

1.

 Turn the cylindrical filter 

C

 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 

A

(fig. 3).

4.

 Inspect the trap and remove any food residues. 

NEVER 

REMOVE

 the wash-cycle pump protection 

(black detail) (fig.4).

After cleaning the filters, re-place 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.
