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 as-
sembly (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 fil-
ter parts as shown in the figures below and reinsert the entire
aseembly 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 (see "Close up view [interior]",letters C-
F ).Check the sprayer arms periodically and clean them when
needed.
It may occur that the dishwasher does not function or does not
function properly.Before calling for assistance,Iet us see what
can be done first:have you forgot to press one of the buttons or
to perfom an essential operation?

- 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 house 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

- the water supply to the house on and has sufficient pressure;
- the water supply hose is crimped or bent;
- the filter for the water supply hose is clogged.

Lime Deposits or a White Film Form on the Dishes

If,despite all these checks,the dishwasher still does not function
and/or the problem persists,contact the nearest authorised service
centre 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

Troubleshooting
CAUTION
Do not forget that repairs should only be carried out by a quali-
fied specialist.

-
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 untility 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 soapy 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 product 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 odours 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 odours to form in the dishwasher is
food that remains trapped in the seals.Periodic cleaning with a
sponge will prevent this from occuring.
