Care and maintenance

*

 Only available in selected models.

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 

can 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 you check the arms from time to time and 

clean them with a small non-metallic brush.

The two sprayer arms may both be removed.

To remove the upper sprayer arm, 

turn the plastic locking ring in an 

anti-clockwise  direction. The upper 

sprayer arm should be replaced 

so that the side with the greater 

number of holes is 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.

- Re-place 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 several washes, check the filter assembly and if necessary 

clean it thoroughly under running water, using a non-metallic 

brush and following the instructions below: 

1.

 Turn the cylindrical filter 

C

 in an anti-clockwise direction and 

pull it out 

(fig. 1).

2.

 Remove the cup filter 

B

 by exerting a slight pressure on the 

side flaps 

(fig. 2);

3.

 Slide out the stainless-steel plate filter 

A

. 

(fig. 3).

4.

 Inspect the trap and remove any food residues. 

NEVER 

REMOVE

 the wash-cycle pump protection 

(black detail) (fig.4).

After cleaning the filters, re-place 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.
