clean them if necessary under running water. Follow the steps below to clean the lters in the wash
cabinet.
NOTE: Pictures are only for reference, different models of the ltering system and spray arms may be
different.

The safety supply hose consists of the double walls. The hose’s system guarantees its intervention by
blocking the ow of water in case of the supply hose breaking and when the air space between the
supply hose itself and the outer corrugated hose is full of water.
Warning!
- A hose that attaches to a sink spray can burst if it is installed on the same water line as the
dishwasher. If your sink has one, it is recommended the hose be disconnected and the hole plugged.
- Ensure the Aquastop safety supply unit is in a vertical position once installed.
The appliance must be connected to the water mains using new hose-sets.
The old hose-sets should not be reused.
Water pressure must be between 0.04 MPa and 1 MPa. If the pressure is
below the minimum, consult our Service Department for advice.
