It is important to try and run the dishwasher when it is fully
loaded to save on energy. In order to prevent odors from form-
ing and food from caking onto the dishes, you can run the
hold cycle.
- Choose the right wash cycle: the choice of cycle depends on
the type of dishware, cookware and utensils being washed and
how dirty they are.
Energy Saving Tips
- Use the right amount of detergent: if you use too much detergent,
the result will not be cleaner dishes, but, rather, a greater nega
tive impact on the environment.
- There is no utility in rinsing dishes ,cookware and untensils
before placing them in the dishwasher.
How to Keep Your Dishwasher in Shape
After Every Wash
After every wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance and
leave the door slightly ajar so that moisture and odors are not
trapped inside.
Remove the Plug
Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the
plug from the socket. Do not run risks.
No Solvents or Abrasive Cleaning Products
To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not
use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. Rather, use only a
cloth and warm soap water.
To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use a
cloth dampened with water and a little white vinegar, or a clean-
ing products made specifically for dishwasher.
When You Go on Holiday
When You Go on Holiday, it is recommended that you run a wash
cycle with the dishwasher empty and then remove the plug from
the socket ,turn off the water supply and leave the door of the
appliance slightly ajar. This will help the seals last longer and pre-
vent odors from forming within the appliance.
Moving the Appliance
If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in the vertical position.
If absolutely necessary, it can be positioned on its back.
Seals
One of the factors that cause odors to form in the dishwasher is
food that remains trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning with a
sponge will prevent this from occurring.

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
assembly (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 be-
low and reinsert the entire assembly in the dishwasher, positioning in its seat
and pressing downward.
The dishwasher must not 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 (see figure 1/A) 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.
