Energy Saving Tips

-It is important to try and run the dishwasher when it is fully

loaded in order to save on energy. In order to prevent odors

from forming and food from caking onto the dishes, you can run

the hold cycle.

-Choose the right wash cycle: the choice of cycle depends on

the type of dishware, cookware and utensils being washed and

how dirty they are.

-Use the right amount of detergent: if you use too much detergent,

the result will not be cleaner dishes, but, rather, a greater nega-

tive impact on the environment.

-There is no advantage in rinsing dishes, cookware and utensils

before placing them in the dishwasher.

How to keep Your Dishwasher in Shape

After every wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance and

leave the door slightly ajar so that moisture and odors are not

trapped inside.

After Every Wash

Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the

plug from the socket. Do not run risks.

Remove the plug

To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not

use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. Rather, use only a

cloth and warm soapy water.

To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use a

cloth dampened with water and a little while vinegar, or cleaning

product made specifically for dishwashers.

No solvents or Abrasive Cleaning Products

When you go on holiday, it is recommended that you run a wash

cycle with the dishwasher empty and then remove the plug from

the socket, turn off the water supply and leave the door of the

appliance slightly ajar. This will help the seals last longer and

prevent odors from forming within the appliance.

When You Go on Holiday

If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in a vertical position.

If absolutely necessary, it can be positioned on its back.

Moving the Appliance

One of the factors that cause odors to form in the dishwasher is

food that remains trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning with a

damp sponge will prevent this from occurring.

Cleaning and Special Maintenance

Filter Assembly

For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be

cleaned frequently.

The filter efficiently removes food residue from the wash water,

allowing it to be recirculated during the cycle. For this reason, it

is a good idea to remove the larger food particles trapped in the

filter after each wash cycle by rinsing the "A" semi-circular filter

and cup under running water. To remove the filter assembly, pull

on the cup handle in the upward direction. The entire filter as-

sembly (made up of the "A" semicircular filter and the "B" fine

filter) should be cleaned at least once a month.

To clean the filter and the fine filter, use a cleaning brush. Then,

reassemble the filter parts as shown in the figures below and

reinsert the entire assembly in the dishwasher, positioning in its

seat and pressing downward.

The dishwasher must never be

used without the filters. Improper

replacement of the filters may re-

duce level of the appliance and

damage dishes and utensils.

Cleaning the Spray Arms

It may happen that food particle become encrusted on the spray

arms and block the holes. Check the spray arms periodically and

clean them when needed.

Cleaning the Water Inlet Filter

Periodically clean the water inlet filter (see figure) located on the

outlet of the water supply tap.

After turning off the water tap, unscrew the end of the water sup-

ply 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.
