CARE AND MAINTENANCE

CLEANING THE FILTER ASSEMBLY

Regularly clean the filter assembly so that the filters do not clog and 

that the waste water flows away correctly. The filter assembly consists 

of three filters which remove food residues from the washing water 

and then recirculate the water: to obtain the best washing results, you 

need to keep them clean.

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 follo-

wing the instructions below:
1.  Turn the cylindrical filter 

A

 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 

C

 

(Fig 3)

.

4.  Inspect the trap and remove any food residues. 

NEVER REMOVE

 

the wash-cycle pump protection (black detail)

After cleaning the filters, re-place the filter assembly and fix it in posi-

tion correctly; this is essential for maintaining the efficient operation 

of the dishwasher.

CLEANING THE SPRAY ARMS

On occasions, food residue may become encrusted onto the spray 

arms and block the holes used to spray the water. It is therefore recom-

mended that you check the arms from time to time and clean them 

with a small non-metallic brush.

To remove the upper spray arm, turn the plastic locking ring in an an-

ticlockwise 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 may be removed by 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.
