Troubleshooting
It may occur that the dishwasher does not function or does
not function properly. Before calling for assistance, let us
see what can be done first: have you forgot 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 is 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 put the right amount of detergent into the
dispenser?
Is the wash cycle suitable for the dishes you have placed
inside the appliance?
Are the filter and microfilter clean?
Can the sprayer arms turn freely?
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.
Error messages.
Your dishwasher is equipped with a safety system which is able to
detect any operating anomalies. These anomalies are reported by
one or two wash cycle indicator lights "
C
" flashing rapidly.
Take a note of which lights are flashing, turn the appliance off and
call for technical assistance.
Tap off alarm
If you have forgotten to turn the water tap on, your appliance will
remind you of this by sounding a few short beeps for a few minutes.
Turn the tap on and your appliance will start up again after a few
minutes. Were you to be absent when these beeps are sounded, the
appliance will be blocked automatically and indicator lights 2 and 3
(Normal and Soak) will flash rapidly. Turn the appliance off at the
ON-OFF button, turn on the water tap and wait approximately 20
seconds before turning the appliance back on; repeat the
programming operations and the selected wash cycle will start up
again.
Clogged filter alarm
If the appliance is blocked and indicator lights 1 (Intensive) and 3
(Soak) flash rapidly, this means the filter is clogged by large particles
of food residue. Turn the appliance off, clean the filter thoroughly
and reposition it in its seat as illustrated on this page. Then turn it
back on. Repeat the programming operations and the selected wash
cycle will start up again.
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 part of the door.
Never call on unauthorised technicians and refuse to
allow parts to be installed that are not original spare
parts.
The filter assembly
If you want consistent good results from your dishwasher, you need
to clean the filter assembly.
The food particles are removed
from the wash water, allowing
it to be recirculated during the
cycle, filtered perfectly. For this
reason, it is a good idea to
remove the larger food particles
trapped inside the semi-circular
filter
A
and
cup “C”after each
wash; to remove the filter
assembly, pull the cup handle
upwards. All you need to do is
rinse them under running water.
The entire filter assembly should
be cleaned thoroughly once a
month: semi-circular filter A +
cup C + cylindrical filter B+ microfilter D.
To remove filter “B”, turn it anti-clockwise. Use a small non-metallic
brush for cleaning.
Reassemble the filter parts (as shown in the figure) and reinsert the
whole assembly into the dishwasher. Position it into its housing
and press downwards.
Cleaning and Special Maintenance
The dishwasher is not to be used without filters. Improper replace-
ment of the filters may reduce the efficiency of the wash and even
damage your dishwasher.
Cleaning the Sprayer Arms
It may happen that food particles become encrusted on the sprayer
arms and block the holes. Check the sprayer arms periodically and
clean them when needed (see “Close-up View [interior]”, letters F-
I).
Cleaning the Water Inlet Filter
Periodically clean the water inlet filter (see figure 2 under
"Installation") located on the outlet of the water supply tap. After
turning off the water tap, unscrew the end of the water supply
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.
