Cleaning and maintenance

The outside of the cabinet can be cleaned with a non-abrasive cleaning agent

suitable for a gloss finish.

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:

To remove the upper rotor arm, turn it until it lines up with the stop marked by the

arrow (fig. 1b). Push it upwards 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).

• wash the rotor arms under a jet of water to clear any blockage in the spray heads.

• When you have finished, refit the rotor arms in the same position, remembering to

re-align the arrow and screw into position.

General hints

Selecting the programme

This dishwasher offers you a wide range of wash programmes so that you can choose

the most suitable according to the type of dishes and how dirty they are.

Refer to the PROGRAMME LIST to choose the most suitable programme.

Useful hints

In order to avoid any dripping from the top rack, remove the lower rack first.

If the dishes are to be left in the machine for some time, leave the door ajar, to let

some air circulate and to improve the drying performance.

How to make SAVINGS

1) If you want the dishwasher to give a complete wash, place the dishes in the

dishwasher at the end of each meal and if necessary turn on the COLD PRE-WASH

cycle to soften the food remains and remove bigger particles of food from the new

load of dishes. When the dishwasher is full start the complete wash cycle programme.

2) If the dishes are not very dirty or if the baskets are not very full select an

ECONOMY programme, following the instructions in the program list.

How to get really good wash RESULTS

1) Place the dishes face downwards.

2) Try to place the dishes in such a way that they are not touching one another. If

they are loaded properly you will get better results.

3) Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher remove any remaining food (bones,

shells, pieces of meat or vegetables, coffee grounds, skin of fruit, cigarette ash etc.

that could clog up the outflow and the washing arm jets.

4) After loading the dishes check that the washing arms can rotate freely.

5) Pans and other dishes that have particularly persistent food particles or remnants

of burnt food should be left to soak in water with dishwasher detergent.

6) To wash silver properly:

a) rinse the silver immediately after use, especially if it has been used for mayonnaise,

eggs, fish etc.

b) do not sprinkle detergent onto it

c) keep it separate from other metals

What to DO if

1) You want to stop the dishwasher to put in more dishes whilst it is in the middle of

a wash.

Open the door only after pressing the O/I button so that the dishwasher is in OFF.

After closing the door, wait 3 minutes before starting up the machine again.

What not to wash

It should also be remembered that not all dishes are suitable for washing in a

dishwasher.

We advise against using the dishwasher to wash items in thermoplastic, cutlery with

wooden or plastic handles, saucepans with wooden handles, items in aluminium,

crystal, leaded glass unless otherwise stated.

Certain decorations may fade. It is therefore a good idea before loading the whole

batch to wash just one of the items first so as to be sure that others like it will not fade.

It is also a good idea not to put silver cutlery with non-stainless steel handles into the

dishwasher as there could be a chemical reaction between them.

IMPORTANT

When buying new crockery or cutlery always make sure that they are suitable for

washing in a dishwasher.
