Care and Cleaning

Cleaning the spray arms.

Food residue may become

encrusted onto the spray arms and

block the holes where water comes

out. Check the spray arms regularly

and clean them once in a while.

DO NOT use solvents or abrasives

to clean the exterior and rubber parts

of your appliance, do not use

solvents or abrasive cleaning

products. Use a cloth dampened

with lukewarm soapy water only.

If there are any stains on the surface

of the appliance interior, use a cloth

dampened with water and a little

white vinegar, or a cleaning product

specifically made for dishwashers.

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.

Unplug the appliance.

Before carrying out any cleaning or

maintenance on the dishwasher,

always remove the plug from the

electricity socket.

The seals.

One of the factors that cause

unpleasant odours to form inside the

dishwasher is food that remains

trapped in the seals. Periodic

cleaning using a damp sponge will

prevent this from occurring.

Going away

If the dishwasher is not going to be

used for some time, carry out the

following:

run a cycle with the dishwasher

empty.

switch off at the electrical socket

and unplug.

turn off the water supply tap,

disconnect the inlet hose and

allow to drain.

fill the rinse aid dispenser.

leave the door ajar, to prevent the

build up of unpleasant odours

inside the dishwasher.

Before using the dishwasher after a

long break, plug in and switch on at

the electrical socket. Reconnect the

inlet hose and turn on the water

supply tap. Check there are no

deposits of rust inside the water

pipe, if there are allow water to run

from the supply tap for a few

minutes.

Moving the appliance.

Drain water from the dishwasher.

Secure all loose parts. Only

transport in an upright position.

If not kept upright during transport,

any water remaining inside may

seep into the control module and

cause subsequent errors with

programme functions.

Disconnecting the dishwasher.

When disconnecting the dishwasher

it is important that tasks are carried

out in the correct sequence.

switch off at the mains and remove

the plug from the socket.

turn off the water supply.

disconnect drain and water inlet

hose.

pull out the dishwasher, carefully,

withdrawing hoses at the same

time.

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 in

the inside the semi-circular

filter "A" and the 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

efficincy of the wash and

even damage your

dishwasher.
