Care and maintenance

Shutting off the water and electricity supplies

•  Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle to avoid leaks.
•  Always  unplug  the  appliance  when  cleaning  it  and  when 

performing maintenance work.

Cleaning the dishwasher

•  The  external  surfaces  of  the  machine  and  the  control  panel 

can be cleaned using a non-abrasive cloth which has been 
dampened with water. Do not use solvents or abrasive products.

•  Any marks on the inside of the appliance 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 behind the 
formation of unpleasant odours.

Cleaning the spray arms

Food  residue  may  become  encrusted  onto  the  spray  arms 
and block the holes used to spray the water. It is therefore 
recommended that you check the arms from time to time and clean 
them with a small non-metallic brush.
The two spray arms may both be removed.

To remove the upper spray arm, turn 
the plastic locking ring in an anti-
clockwise  direction. The upper spray 
arm should be replaced so that the 
side with the greater number of holes 
is facing upwards.

The lower spray arm can be removed 
by pressing on the side tabs and 
pulling it upwards.

Cleaning the water inlet hose     

If the water hoses are new or have not been used for an extended 
period of time, let the water run to make sure it is clear and free 
of impurities before performing the necessary connections. If this 
precaution is not taken, the water inlet could become blocked and 
damage the dishwasher.

Clean the water inlet filter at the tap outlet regularly. 

- Turn off the water tap.
-  Unscrew  the  end  of  the  water  inlet  hose,  remove  the  filter  and 
clean it carefully under running water.
- Re-place the filter and screw the water hose back into position.

Cleaning the filters

The filter assembly consists of three filters which remove food 
residues from the washing water and then recirculate the water. 
They must be cleaned if you wish to achieve the best results in 
every wash.

Clean the filters regularly.

The dishwasher must not be used without filters or if the filter 

is loose.

• After several washes, check the filter assembly and if necessary 
clean it thoroughly under running water, using a non-metallic brush 
and following the instructions below: 

1.

 Turn the cylindrical filter 

C

 in an anti-clockwise direction and 

pull it out 

(fig. 1).

2.

 Remove the cup filter 

B

 by exerting a slight pressure on the 

side flaps 

(fig. 2);

3.

 Slide out the stainless-steel plate filter 

A

. 

(fig. 3).

4.

 Inspect the trap and remove any food residues. 

NEVER 

REMOVE

 the wash-cycle pump protection 

(black detail) (fig.4).

After cleaning the filters, re-place the filter assembly and fix it in 
position correctly; this is essential for maintaining the efficient 
operation of the dishwasher.

Leaving the machine unused for extended 

periods 

•  Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply and shut 

off the water tap.

•  Leave the door of the appliance ajar.

•  When  you  return,  run  a  wash  cycle  when  the  dishwasher  is 

empty.
