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 as-

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

filter) should be cleaned at; east 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 reduce the performance level of

the appliance and damage dishes and utensils.

Cleaning the Spray Arms

It may happen that food particles become encrusted on the

sprayer arms and block the holes (see "Close up view interior",

letters C-E ). 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, See what can

be done first: Have you forgotten to press one of the buttons or

to perform 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

Positioning the Appliance

Position 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

allow proper installation.

Cold Water Connection

Connect the cold water supply hose to a threaded 3/4 (gas) con-

nector making 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.

The connection must be made to the hot water line following the

same procedures as those for the connection to the cold water

line.

Anti-Flooding Protection

The dishwasher is equipped with a system that stops the supply of

water in the event of a problem with the water supply hose, or

leaks within the unit, If for any reason the box containing the elec-

trical components happens to get damaged, remove the plug from

the socket immediately. In order to guarantee that the anti-flood-

ing feature operates properly, the "A" box with water supply hose

must be attached to the water supply tap as shown in Fig.1. No

other type of connection is acceptable. The water supply hose must

not, under any circumstances, be cut, as it contains electrical parts

which are live. If the length of the hose is not adequate to make a

proper connection, the hose must be replaced with one that is long

enough. This hose is available upon request from specialised re-

tailers and service centres.

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 special plastic support that comes with

the appliance (see 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 frequency values for the

current in the home correspond to those on the rating plate (located

on the stainless steel inner door of the appliance) and that the

electrical system is sized for the maximum voltage on the rating

plate, insert the plug into an electrical socket which is earthed prop-

erly (the earthing of the appliance is a safety requirement man-

dated 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

adapters or the like as they could cause overheating and burns.

Installation

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.

Fig.2

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 is on and has sufficient pressure;

- the water supply hose is crimped or bend;

- the filter for the water supply hose is clogged.

The dishwasher does not drain

Have you checked whether:

- the drain hose is crimped or bend.

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 and the serial number 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

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 appli-

ance is level, it will help ensure proper performance.

Fig.1

Cleaning the Water Inlet Filter

Periodically clean the water inlet filter (see fig.1/A) 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.

Attention:

The appliance is to be connected to the water mains using new

hose-sets and old hose-sets should not be reused!
