Cleaning and Special Maintenance

Filter Assembly

For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be
cleaned.
The filter efficiently removes food particles 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 as­sembly (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
aseembly 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 reduce level of the appliance and
damage dishes and utensils.

Cleaning the Spray Arms

It may happen that food particle become encrusted on the sprayer
arms and block the hole (see "Close up view [interior]", letters C­F ). Check the sprayer arms periodically and clean them when
needed.

It may occur that the dishwasher does not function or does not
function properly. Before calling for assistance, Iet us see what
can be done first: have you forgotten to press one of the buttons
or to perfom an essential operation?

The Dishwasher Does Not Start

Have you checked whether:

- the plug is pushed into the socket correctly;

- the power is on in the house;

- the door is closed properly;

- the ON-OFF switch is on "ON";

- the water supply is turned on.

Installation

Drain Hose Connection

Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe with a minimum diameter
of 4cm, or let it run into the sink, making sure to avoid bending
or crimping it. Use the speical plastic support that comes with
the appliance (see figure fig.2). The free end of the hose must
be at a height between 40 and 100 cm and must not be im­mersed in water.

Attention:

The special plastic hose support must be solidly fastened to the
wall to prevent the drain hose from moving and allowing water to
spill outside the drain.

Electrical Connection

After making sure that the voltage and frdquency values for the
current in the home correspond to those on the rating plate
(located on the staunless steel inner door of the appliance) and
that the electrical system is sizedd for the maximum voltage on
the rating plate, insert the plug into an electrical socket which
is earthed properly (the earthing of the appliance is a safety
requirement mandated by law).
If the electrical socket to which the appliance must be connected
is not appropriate for the plug,replace the plug, rather than us­ing adpators or the like as they could cause overheating and
burns.

The Dishwasher Does Not Load Water

Have you checked whether:

- the water is turned on and the hose is connected properly;

- the water supply to the house on and has sufficient pressure;

- the water supply hose is crimped or bent;

- the filter for the water supply hose is clogged.

The Dishes Are Not Clean

Have you checked whether:

- the water is turned on and the hose is connected properly;

- the water supply to the house on and has sufficient pressure;

- the water supply hose is crimped or bent;

- the filter for the water supply hose is clogged.

The Dishwasher Does Not Drain

Have you checked whether:

- the drain hose is crimped or bent.

Lime Deposits or a White Film Form on the Dishes

Have you checked whether:

- the lid to the salt container is closed properly;

- the rinse aid dosage is correct.
If, despite all these checks, the dishwasher still does not function
and/or the problem persists, contact the nearest authorised service
centre and provide them with the following information:

- the nature of the problem;

- the model type number (Mod...)and the serial number (S/N...),
which are indicated on the plate located on the side of the inner
part of the door.

Never call on unauthorised technicians and refuse to al­low parts to be installed that are not original spare parts.

Troubleshooting

Positioning the Appliance

Positioning the appliance in the desired location. The back should
rest against the wall behind it, and the sides, along the adjacent
cabinets or wall. The dishwasher is equipped with water supply
and drain hoses that can be positioned to the right or the left to
facilitate proper installation.

Levelling the Appliance

Once the appliance is positioned, adjust the feet (screwing them
in or out) to adjust the dishwasher, making it level. In any case,
the appliance should not be inclined more than 2 . If the appli­ance is level, it will help ensure proper performance.

Cold Water Connection

Connect the cold water supply hose to a threaded 3/4 (gas) con­nector and make sure that it is fastened tightly in place (see fig.

1).
If the water pipes are new or have not been used for an extended
period of time, let the water run to make sure that the water is
clear and free of impurities. If this precaution is not taken, there
is a risk that the water inlet can get blocked and damage the
appliance.

Hot Water Connection

The water supply to the appliance can also be connected to the
house's hot water line (centralised system, heating system), as
long as it does not exceed a temperature of 60 .
In this case, the wash cycle time will be shortened by about 15
minutes and the wash efficiency slightly reduced.
The connection must be made to the hot water line following the
same procedures as those for the connection to the cold water
line.

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

loaded to save on enery. 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.

Energy Saving Tips

- 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 enviroment.

- There is no untility in rinsing dishes ,cookware and untensils
before placing them in the dishwasher.

How to Keep Your Dishwasher in Shape

After Every Wash

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.

Remove the Plug

Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the
plug from the socket. Do not run risks.

No Solvents or Abrasive Cleaning Products

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 white vinegar, or a clean­ing product made specifically for dishwasher.

When You Go on Holiday

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.

Moving the Appliance

If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in the vertical position.
If absolutely necessarty, it can be positioned on its back.

Seals

One of the factors that cause odors to form in the dishwasher is
food that remains trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning with a
sponge will prevent this from occuring.
