Cleaning and
maintenance
The outside of the cabinet can be cleaned with
a non-abrasive cleaning agent suitable for a
gloss finish.
The dishwasher does not require special
maintenance,
because
the
tank
is
selfcleaning. Regularly wipe the door gasket
with a damp cloth to remove any food remains
or rinse aid. It is advisable to remove
limestone deposits or dirt periodically, by doing
an empty wash; pour a glass of vinegar on the
bottom of the tank and select the light wash.
If, in spite of the routine cleaning of the filters,
you notice that the dishes or pans are not
properly washed or rinsed, check that all the
spray heads on the rotor arms (fig. A “5”) are
clear.
If they are blocked, clean them in the following
way:
To remove the upper rotor arm, turn it until it
lines up with the stop marked by the arrow
(fig.1b). Push it upwards and, keeping it
pushed in, unscrew it in a clockwise direction.
To reassemble it repeat the same opera-
tion, but turn it anticlockwise. The lower
rotor arm can be removed simply by pulling it
upwards (fig. 2).
• wash the rotor arms under a jet of water to
clear any blockage in the spray heads.
• When you have finished, refit the rotor arms
in the same position, remembering to re-align
the arrow and screw into position.
Both the door lining and the tank lining are in
stainless steel; however, should spots caused
by oxidation occur, this is probably due to a
high level of iron salts presents in the water.
The spots can be removed with a mild
abrasive agent; never use chlorine based
materials, steel wool, etc.
WHEN CYCLE IS FINISHED
After every wash it is essential to turn off water
supply and to switch off the machine by
pressing the On/Off button to the off position.
If the machine is not going to be used for some
time, it is advisable to follow these rules:
1. do an empty wash with detergent in order to
clean the machine of any deposits.
2. pull out the electric plug.
3. turn off the water tap.
4. fill the rinse aid container.
5. Ieave the door ajar.
6. Keep the inside of the machine clean.
7. If the machine is left in places where the
temperature is below 0°C any water left
inside the pipes may freeze. Wait until the
temperature rises above zero and then wait
for about 24 hours before starting up the
dishwasher.
