MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

The appliance has been built in such a way that it requires little maintenance. Nonetheless,
it is advisable to have it checked twice a year by a qualified technician.
N.B. : the manufacturer declines all responsibility for damage caused deliberately or due
to carelessness or negligence or as a result of failure to comply with the regulations,
instructions or standards or due to incorrect connections.
15.1 ORDINARY DAILY CLEANING OPERATIONS
The appliance is designed so that it is protected against jets of water.
However, jets of water should not, under any circumstance, be directed against the
appliance for cleaning purposes.
Before carrying out the cleaning operations, always turn off the wall-mounted switch and close
the water supply tap.
Then carry out the following operations:
- empty the tank, rinse thoroughly and clean any residue material in the filter;
- replace the overflow and the filters, making sure that they are positioned correctly;
- clean any limescale before it builds up into thicker layers;
- if possible, leave the door open when the appliance is not in use;
- clean the surfaces carefully and often using a damp cloth and water and soap or common
detergents as long as they do not contain abrasives or substances with a chlorine base
such as sodium hypochlorite (bleach), hydrochloric acid, or other solutions: these products
corrode the stainless steel irreversibly in a short time.
To clean the floor under the appliance or around it, do not use the products referred to above
to prevent vapours or any droplets from producing similiarly destructive effects on the steel.
Rub the surfaces only in the direction of the silking. Then rinse thoroughly with clean water
and dry carefully.
15.2 DAILY, ROUTINE CLEANING OPERATIONS APP. WITH DISCHARGE PUMP
Unscrew the ring nut and remove the filter taking care to clean it thoroughly (Fig. 10).
Clean the wash tank removing any deposits that might have accumulated on the bottom and
rinse with clean water. Refit the filter and the ring nut leaving the door open to prevent any
build-up of unpleasant smells. Remove the filter from the discharge pump and clean it
thoroughly before refitting it with care (Fig. 6).
16 IF THE APPLIANCE IS NOT USED FOR LONG PERIODS
If the appliance is not used for some time, disconnect the main switch, turn off the water
supply tap, empty the boiler completely as a preventive measure just in case excessive
temperatures are reached, clean the appliance thoroughly and cover it with a cloth to protect
it from dust.
