Stalgast 803021 Notice D'instruction page 38

In the case of intense use, we recommend that you clean the filters every 30-40 wash cycles in order to
ensure the proper functioning of the appliance. To do this, partially drain the tank of water.
Remove the filters, making sure no fatty deposits and left-over food falls into the openings under the
filters. Clean the filters of food residue and sediment and then rinse thoroughly. Do not use sharp tools
or sharp edges to clean the filters. Make sure to also remove limescale, as this prevents the build-up of
a layer on the surface of the filter.
The surfaces of the filters should be cleaned thoroughly with a damp cloth and neutral (non- aggres-
sive) detergents with no chlorine content and agents that do not cause corrosion and mechanical
damage to stainless steel surfaces.
In order to prevent the formation of corrosion spots on the stainless steel, avoid using harsh deter-
gents containing chlorine and agents that cause corrosion or mechanical damage to the stainless
steel surfaces. For cleaning floors and immediate surroundings, only use detergents that do not cause
damage to stainless steel.
Once a month you should:
• make sure the power cord is not damaged;
• make sure that all components of the appliance are working properly,
• remove the washing arms (Fig. 11) (bottom and top 1 and 2) by loosening the screw (3) and clean
under the current water
• Clean the outside of the appliance using a washing liquid for stainless steel and a damp cloth and
then thoroughly rinse and wipe dry.
Service the appliance at least once a year to verify its correct operation, determine the degree of wear,
detect possible failures of components and parts. If you detect any damage, it should be removed by
qualified technical personnel (technical services). Technical service should pay particular attention to:
• the condition of heating elements,
• the condition of electrical installation,
• the condition of heating elements' safeguards,
• wear and tear of the appliance,
Any damage or failure resulting from the user's non-compliance with this manual as well as failure to
comply with existing legislation and standards will not be considered manufacturer's liability.
Downtime in operation
When not expecting to use the appliance for an extended period of time, it is necessary to empty
containers for the washing liquid and rinse aid in order to prevent crystallization and, consequently, da-
mage to the pump. Accordingly, suction tubes should be removed from both containers and placed in a
bowl filled with clear water; carry out several wash cycles and then drain the tank of water. Finally, turn
off the main switch and close the water tap. Suction tubes must be connected back to the containers
only when the appliance goes back into use (the clear tube goes into the washing liquid container, and
the blue one into the rinse aid container).
It is forbidden to leave the appliance on and the water valve open for an extended period of down-
time.
In winter period, the device must be stored in a heated room. Otherwise, make sure that no fluids
have remained in the device (e.g. boiler, detergent pipes).
