Care and maintenance
Shutting off the water and electricity
supplies
Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle to avoid
leaks.
Always unplug the appliance when cleaning it and
when performing maintenance work.
Cleaning the dishwasher
The external surfaces of the machine and the control
panel may be cleaned using a non-abrasive cloth
which has been dampened with water. Do not use
solvents or abrasive products.
Any marks on the inside of the appliance may be
removed using a cloth dampened with water and a
little vinegar.
Preventing unpleasant odours
Always keep the door of the appliance ajar in order
to avoid moisture from forming and being trapped
inside the machine.
Clean the seals around the door and detergent
dispensers regularly using a damp sponge. This will
avoid food becoming trapped in the seals, which is
the main cause behind the formation of unpleasant
odours.
Cleaning the sprayer arms
Food residue may become encrusted onto the sprayer
arms and block the holes used to spray the water. It is
therefore recommended that the arms are checked from
time to time and cleaned with a small non-metallic
brush.
The two sprayer arms may both be removed.
To remove the upper sprayer
arm, rotate the locking ring in an
anti-clockwise direction.
The upper sprayer arm should
be replaced with the holes
facing upwards.
The lower sprayer arm can be
removed by pressing on the
side tabs and pulling it upwards.
Cleaning the water inlet filter*
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.
Clean the water inlet filter at the tap outlet regularly.
- Turn off the water tap.
- Unscrew the end of the water inlet hose, remove the
filter and clean it carefully under running water.
- Replace the filter and screw the water hose back into
position.
Cleaning the filters
The filter assembly consists of three filters which remove
food residues from the washing water and then
recirculate the water. They should be cleaned if you wish
to achieve the best results in every wash.
Clean the filters regularly.
The dishwasher should not be used without filters, or
if the filter is loose.
After cleaning the filters, replace the filter assembly and
fix it in position correctly; this is essential for maintaining
the efficient operation of the dishwasher.
Leaving the machine unused for
extended periods
Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply
and shut off the water tap.
Leave the door of the appliance ajar.
When you return, run a wash cycle when the
dishwasher is empty.
