Cleaning and Special Maintenance

Filter Assembly

For the 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

filter parts as shown in the figures below and reinsert 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 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 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.

Installation

Positioning the Appliance

Position the appliance in the desired location. The back should

rest against the wall behind it, and the sides, along the adjacent

cabinets or wall. The dishwasher is equipped with water supply

and drain hoses that can be positioned to the right or the left to

facilitate proper installation.

Levelling the Appliance

Once the appliance is positioned, adjust the feet (screwing them

in or out) to adjust the dishwasher, making it level. In any case,

the appliance should not be inclined more than 2

. If the appli-

ance is level, it will help ensure proper performance.

Cold Water Connection

Connect the cold water supply hose to a threaded 3/4 (gas) con-

nector and make sure that it is fastened tightly in place (see fig.

1).

If the water pipes are new or have not been used for an extended

period of time, let the water run to make sure that the water is

clear and free of impurities. If this precaution is not taken, there

is a risk that the water inlet can get blocked and damage the

appliance.

Hot Water Connection

The water supply to the appliance can also be connected to the

house's hot water line (centralised system, heating system), as

long as it does not exceed a temperature of 60

.

In this case, the wash cycle time will be shortened by about 15

minutes and the wash efficiency slightly reduced.

The connection must be made to the hot water line following the

same procedures as those for the connection to the cold water

line.

Drain Hose Connection

Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe with a minimum diameter

of 4cm, or let it run into the sink, making sure to avoid bending

or crimping it. Use the special plastic support that comes with

the appliance (see fig .2). The free end of the hose must be at a

height between 40 and 100 cm and must not be immersed in

water.

Attention:

The special plastic hose support must be solidly fastened to

the wall to prevent the drain hose from moving and allowing

water to spill outside the drain.

Electrical Connection

After making sure that the voltage and frequency values for the

current in the home correspond to those on the rating plate

(located on the stainless steel inner door of the appliance) and

that the electrical system is sized for the maximum voltage on

the rating plate, insert the plug into an electrical socket which

is earthed properly (the earthing of the appliance is a safety

requirement mandated by law).

If the electrical socket to which the appliance must be connected

is not appropriate for the plug, replace the plug, rather than

using adaptors or the like as they could cause overheating and

burns.

Troubleshooting

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 forgotten to press one of the buttons

or to perform 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 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

Have you checked whether:

- the water is turned on and the hose is

  connected properly;

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 function

and/or the problem persists, contact the nearest authorised ser-

vice 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

  part of the door.

Never call on unauthorised technicians and refuse to

allow parts to be installed that are not original spare

parts.

- 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.
