the pump. For best performance and results, the lter assembly must be cleaned
regularly. For this reason, it is a good idea tore move the larger food particles trapping
in the lter after each wash cycle by rinsing the lter and cup under running water.
To remove the lter assembly, pull the cup handle in the upward direction.
Filter assembly
• Inspect the lters for blocking every time
the dishwasher has been used.
• By unscrewing the coarse lter. you can remove
the lter system. Remove any food remnants
and clean the lters under running water.
CARING FOR THE DISHWASHER
The control panel can be cleaned by using a
lightly dampened cloth and dry thoroughly. The
exterior use a good appliance polish wax. Never
use sharp objects, scouring pads or harsh cleaners on any part of the dishwasher.
Cleaning the door
To clean the edge around the door, you should use only a soft warm,
damp cloth. To avoid penetration of water into the door lock and elec-
trical components, do not use a spray cleaner of any kind.
Fine Filter
This lter holds soil and food residues in the
sump area and prevents it from being de-
posited on the dishes during wash cycle.
Main Filter
Food and soil particles trapped in this lter
are pulverized by a special jet on the lower
spray arm and washed down to drain.
REMOVE FILTER: Contrarotate the
lter assembly, then lift it all up.

ENGLISH
16
Protect against freezing
Please take frost protection measures on dishwasher in winter. Each
time after washing cycles, please operate as follows:
1. Cut o electrical power to the dishwasher.
2. Turn o the water supply and disconnect the water inlet pipe from the water valve.
3. Drain water from the inlet pipe and water valve. (Use a pan to catch the water)
4. Reconnect the water inlet pipe to the water valve.
5. Remove the lter at the bottom of the tub and use a sponge to use up water in sump.
Cleaning the spray arms
The spray arms can be easily removed for periodic cleaning of the nozzles, to
prevent possible clogging. Wash them under running water and carefully replace
them in their seats, checking that their rotary movement is in no way impeded.
Grasp the middle of the spray arm, pull it upwards to remove it. Wash the arms under a
jet of running water and return them carefully to their seat. After reassembly, check that
the spray arms turn freely. Otherwise, check that they have been installed correctly.
How to keep your dishwasher in shape
• After every wash: After every wash, turn o the water supply to the appliance and
leave the door slightly open so that moisture and odors are not trapped inside.
• Remove the plug: Before cleaning or performing maintenance,
always remove the plug from the socket.
• No solvents or abrasive cleaning: To clean the exterior and rubber parts
of the dishwasher, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products.
Only use a cloth with warm soapy water. To remove spots or stains from
the surface of the interior, use a cloth dampened with water with a little
vinegar, or a cleaning product made specically for dishwashers.
• When it is not in need for a long time: It is recommended that you run a wash cycle
with the dishwasher empty and then remove the plug from the socket, turn o the
water supply and leave the door of the appliance slightly open. This will help the
door seals to 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 necessary, 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 damp sponge will prevent this from occurring.
