Shutting off the water and electricity

supplies

•

Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle to
avoid leaks.

•

Remove the plug from the socket when cleaning
the machine and when carrying out 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 appliance interior 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 of 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.

Cleaning the filters

The filters remove food residue from the water used in
the wash cycle: to obtain the best results from each
wash, they should be cleaned.

 Clean the filters regularly.

 After cleaning check that the filter assembly has

been replaced correctly.

The dishwasher should not be used without filters,

or when the filter is loose.

1. Remove the filters by pulling the handle upwards.

2. Clean the filters:

• after every wash
cycle, remove the
largest pieces of
residue from
semicircular plate A and
glass B (these may be
removed by pulling the
handle) by rinsing them
under running water.

• The entire filter
assembly should be
cleaned thoroughly
once a month: this
includes the
semicircular plate A,
the glass B and the
cylinder C (this may
be removed by
turning it in an anti-
clockwise direction).

Use a small non-metallic brush to clean these parts.

3. Reconstruct the filter assembly and replace it in the
correct position, following movements 1 and 2 as
shown in the figure, until it clicks into place.

Leaving the machine unused for

extended periods

•

Run a wash cycle when the dishwasher is empty.

•

Unplug the appliance and disconnect the water
supply.

•

Leave the door of the appliance ajar.
