CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
To clean the dishwasher outside, do not
use solvents (degreasing action) neither
abrasives, but only a cloth soaked with
water.
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.
It is advisable to remove limestone
deposits or dirt periodically, by doing an
empty wash; pour a glass of vinegar on
the bottom of the tank and select the
light wash.
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 reassemble it repeat the same
operation, but turn it anticlockwise).
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;
3. when you have finished, refit the rotor
arms in the same position, 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.
If the machine is not going to be used for
some time, it is advisable to follow these
rules:
1. do an empty wash with detergent in order
to clean the machine of any deposits;
2. pull out the electric plug;
3. turn off the water tap;
4. fill the rinse aid container;
5. Ieave the door ajar;
6. keep the inside of the machine clean;
7. If the machine is left in places where the
temperature is below 0°C any water left
inside the pipes may freeze. Wait until
the temperature rises above zero and
then wait for about 24 hours before
starting up the dishwasher.
