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 an 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 below and inset the entire

assembly 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 performance of the appli-

ance and damage dishes and utensils.

Cleaning the Spray Arms

It may happen that food particles become encrusted on the

sprayer arms and block the hole (see "Close up view [interior]" ,

letters C-E ). Check the sprayer arms periodically and clean them

when needed.

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

all. Before calling for assistance, Iet us see what can be done

first: Have you forgotten to press one of the buttons or to per-

form 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 houses 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 is on and has sufficient pressure;

- the water supply hose is crimped or bent;

- the filter for the water supply hose is clogged.

The Dishwasher Does Not Drain

Have you checked whether:

- the drain hose is crimped or bent.

Lime Deposits or a White Film Form on the Dishes

Have you checked whether:

- the lid to the salt container is closed properly;

- the rinse aid dosage is correct.

If, despite all these checks, the dishwasher still does not func-

tion and/or the problem persists, contact the nearest authorised

service agent 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.

Troubleshooting

Cleaning the Water Inlet Filter

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

water supply tap.

After turning off the water tap, unscrew the end of the water sup-

ply 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.
