12. CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
Looking after your appliance correctly can
extend its lifespan.
Cleaning the appliance's exterior
Disconnect the machine from the power
supply.
To clean the dishwasher outside, do not
use solvents (degreasing action) neither
abrasives, but only a cloth soaked with
water.
Cleaning the appliance's interior
The dishwasher does not require special
maintenance, because the tank is self-
cleaning.
Regularly wipe the door gasket with a
damp cloth to remove any food remains
or rinse aid.
Dishwasher cleaning is recommended, in
order to remove limestone deposits or
dirt. We suggest you run a washing cycle
periodically with specialist dishwasher
cleaning
products.
operations the dishwasher must be empty.
If, in spite of the routine cleaning of the
filters, you notice that the dishes or pans
are not properly washed or rinsed, check
that all the spray heads on the rotor arms
(fig. A "5") are clear.
If they are blocked, clean them in the
following way:
1) to remove the upper rotor arm, turn it
until it lines up with the stop marked by
the arrow (fig. 1b). Push it upwards
(fig. 1) and, keeping it pushed in,
unscrew it in a clockwise direction (to

The lower rotor arm can be removed
simply by pulling it upwards (fig. 2);

2) wash the rotor arms under a jet of water
to clear any blockage in the spray
heads.
Do not use
tools that can deform the
spray
heads.
3) when you have finished, refit the rotor
arms
in
remembering to re-align the arrow and
screw into position.
Both the door lining and the tank lining
are in stainless steel; however, should
spots caused by oxidation occur, this is
probably due to a high level of iron salts
presents in the water.
The spots can be removed with a mild
abrasive agent; never use chlorine based
materials, steel wool, etc.
WHEN CYCLE IS FINISHED.
After every wash it is essential to turn off
water supply and to switch off the machine
by pressing the On/Off button to the off
position.
