Cleaning and Special Maintenance
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.
If the display indicates the word "dON" when you turn your
dishwasher on, this means the demo mode is in operation.
Read the instructions on pages 7. Error messages.
Your dishwasher is equipped with a safety system which is able to
detect any operating anomalies.
These anomalies or faults are signalled by several codes consisting of
letters and numbers that flash up on the display. Make a note of the
error code that appears, turn the appliance off, turn off the water
tap and call for technical assistance.
Tap off alarm
If you have forgotten to turn on the water tap, the appliance will
remind you with a series of prolonged beeps and the wording H2O
will flash up on the display. Turn the tap on and the wash cycle will
start up after a few minutes.
If you are not there when the H2O signal appears, the appliance will
switch to alarm mode and the code "A06" will flash on the display.
Turn the appliance off at button "A", turn on the water tap and wait
approximately 20 seconds before turning the appliance back on, the
wash cycle will start up again.
Clogged filter alarm
If the appliance is blocked and the code "A05" is flashing, this means
the filter is clogged by large particles of food residue. Turn the
appliance off at the ON-OFF button, clean the filter thoroughly and
reposition it in its seat, then turn the appliance back on. The wash
cycle will start up as normal after a few seconds.
Water load solenoid valve malfunction alarm
If the code "A02" flashes, first of all turn off the water tap to avoid
any flooding and then cut off the electricity supply and call for
assistance.
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.
The dishwasher is not to be used without filters. Improper replacement
of the filters may reduce the efficiency of the wash and even damage
your dishwasher.
Cleaning the Sprayer Arms
It may happen that food particle become encrusted on the
sprayer arms and block the holes (see "Close up view
(interior)", letters F-I). Check the sprayer arms periodically
and clean them when needed.
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.
