5.5 General warnings and
recommendations for correct maintenance
•
Clean the filters under running water (at room
temperature) using a stiff brush.
•
When removing the filter , take care that there are no
food residues on it. If any residues fall into the
washing pit (ref. A fig. 5-06), they might block
hydraulic components or foul the spray arm nozzles.
•
It is essential to thoroughly clean the filters according
to the above instructions: the dishwasher cannot
function if the filters are clogged.
•
Carefully replace the filters in their seats, to avoid
damaging the wash pump.

Prolonged disuse

•
Unplug the power cord from the socket.
•
Leave the door slightly open in order to prevent the
formation of unpleasant odors inside the washing tank.

•
Shut off the water supply tap.
Before starting the dishwasher after prolonged disuse

Check that there are no deposits of sludge or rust
inside the water pipe: if there are, allow the water to

Reconnect the water intake hose and open the tap
again.

5.6 Troubleshooting minor problems
In some cases it is possible to remedy minor problems
by referring to the following instructions:
If the program fails to start, check that:
•
the dishwasher is connected to the electrical power
supply;
•
there is no power failure;
•
the water tap is open;
•
the dishwasher door is properly closed.
If water remains inside the dishwasher, check that:
•
the drain hose is not kinked
•
the drain siphon is not obstructed;
•
the dishwasher filters are not clogged.
If the dishes do not come out clean, check that:
•
the correct amount of detergent has been added;
•
there is regenerating salt inside the special container;
•
the dishes are being loaded correctly;
•
the selected program is suitable for the dish types and
their degree of soiling;
•
all the filters are clean and positioned correctly;
•
the spray arm nozzles are not obstructed;
•
there is no object obstructing the rotation of the spray
arms.
If the dishes fail to dry or remain dull, check that:
•
there is rinse aid inside the special container;
•
the rinse-aid dispenser setting is correct;
•
the detergent used is of good quality and has not lost
its effectiveness (for example, through incorrect
storage, with the box left open).
If the dishes show signs of streaking, staining, etc.,
check that:
•
the rinse aid dispenser setting is not too high.
If there are visible traces of rust inside the tank:
•
the tank is made of steel, and therefore any rust marks
are due to external elements (fragments of rust from
the water pipes, pots, cutlery, etc.). Special products
are commercially available to remove such marks.
•
check that the amount of detergent being used is
correct. Certain detergents can be more corrosive
than others.
•
check that the cap of the salt container is securely
closed, and that the water softening setting is correct.
