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 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  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 residue. 

NEVER 

REMOVE

 the wash cycle pump (black detail) (fig. 4).

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.
