Cleaning and Special Maintenance
The filter assembly
If you want consistent good results from your dishwasher,
you need to clean the filter assembly.
The food particles are removed from the wash water,
allowing it to be recirculated during the cycle, filtered
perfectly. For this reason, it is a good idea to remove the
larger food particles trapped inside the cup "C" and the
semi-circular filter A after each wash; pull the cup handle
upwards to remove them. Just rinse them under running
water.
The entire filter assembly should be cleaned thoroughly
once a month: cup C + semi-circular filter A + cylindrical
filter B. Rotate filter "B" anticlockwise to remove it.
For cleaning, use a non metallic brush.
Reassemble the filter parts (as shown in the figure) and
reinsert the whole assembly into the dishwasher. Position it
into its housing and press downwards.
The dishwasher is not to be used without filters. Improper
replacement of the filters may reduce the efficiency of the
wash and even damage your dishwasher.

Error messages.

detect any operating anomalies.
These anomalies or faults are signalled by several codes consisting
of letters and numbers that flash up on the display. Make a note of
the error code that appears, turn the appliance off, turn off the
water tap and call for technical assistance.

Cleaning the Sprayer Arms
It may happen that food particle become encrusted on the
sprayer arms and block the holes (see "Close up view
(interior)", letters F-I). Check the sprayer arms periodically and
clean them when needed.
Tap off alarm
If you have forgotten to turn on the water tap, your appliance will
remind you with a long series of prolonged beeps and the wording
H2O will flash up on the display. Turn the tap on and the wash cycle
will start up after a few minutes.
If you are not there when this signal appears, the appliance will
switch to alarm mode and the code "AL06" will flash on the display.
Turn the display off by keeping the Stand-by button pressed, check
that there is water in the mains supply and turn on the tap; turn the
display back on by keeping the same button pressed again.
Repeat the programming operations and start the dishwasher by
pressing the START button.
Clogged filter alarm
If the appliance is blocked and the code "AL05" is flashing, this
means the filter is clogged by large particles of food residue. Turn
the display off by keeping the Stand-by button pressed.
Clean the filter thoroughly and reposition it in its seat as illustrated
on this page . Then turn it back on. Repeat the programming
operations and start the dishwasher by pressing the START button.
Water leak alarm
If this indicator light
blocked due to a water leak. Turn off the water tap, cut off the
electricity supply and call for technical assistance.
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
