Cleaning the central filter
(After each wash)
Scraps of food can sometimes accumulate in the cen-
tral filter (A) and should be periodically removed by
rinsing the filter under running water.
To remove the filter, simply pull it outward by the handle.
Once cleaned, refit the filter by pushing it back to
its original position until it engages.
Cleaning the large filter
(Every two months)
If necessary clean the large filter (B) on both sides
under running water, using a brush.
To take it out remove the spray arm by pulling it up-
ward on one side, turn the column (C) anticlockwise
by 90° and then slide out the filter.
Once cleaned refit it following the above instructions
in reverse order.
Ensure the filter is in its original position, the handle of
filter (A) should be pointing towards the front of the
appliance.
Caution: the dishwasher must not be used
without filters.
Incorrect repositioning of the filters will produce
poor washing results.
Cleaning of the filters is vital to ensure correct
operation of the machine.
Internal and external cleaning
You must ensure that the seals around the door, the
detergent and rinse aid dispensers are cleaned
regularly with a damp cloth.
We recommend you carryout a maintenance wash
every 3 months, by running a 65° C wash programme
without dishes using detergent.
Clean the external surfaces of the machine and
control panel with a soft damp cloth. If necessary use
only neutral detergents. Never use abrasive products,
scouring pads or solvents (acetone, trichloroethylene
etc...).
Prolonged periods of non-operation
If you are not using the machine for any period of time
you are advised to:
unplug the appliance and turn off the water;
fill the rinse aid dispenser;
leave the door ajar to prevent the formation of
unpleasant smells;
leave the inside of the machine clean.
Frost precautions
Avoid placing the machine in a location where the
temperature is below 0°C.
If this is unavoidable, empty the machine, close the
water inlet tap, disconnect the water inlet pipe and
empty it.
Moving the machine
If you have to move the machine (you are moving
house etc...):
unplug it;
turn off the water tap;
remove the water inlet and discharge hoses;
pull the machine out together with the hoses.
Caution: avoid over tilting the machine during
transport.
