5.1 General warnings and recommendations
Avoid the use of acidic or abrasive detergents.
Clean the outer surfaces and door-lining of the dishwasher regularly using a soft cloth moistened
with water or with a normal detergent suitable for painted surfaces.
Clean the door gaskets with a damp sponge.
Periodically (once or twice a year) it is advisable to clean the tank and gaskets, using a soft cloth
and water to remove any deposits.
CLEANING THE WATER INTAKE FILTER
The water intake filter A located at the outlet of the water supply tap needs to be cleaned
periodically.
After having closed the water supply tap, unscrew the end of the water intake hose, remove the
filter A and clean it delicately under running water. Reassemble filter A in its seat and carefully
screw the water intake hose back into position.

clogging. Wash them under running water and carefully replace them in their seats, checking that
their rotary movement is in no way impeded.

• To remove the lower spray arm, simply lift it up, pulling by the central part.

longer arm and pull the ORBITAL unit upward.
Wash the arms under a jet of running water and return them
carefully to their seat.
