5.  Cleaning and maintenance  
 
Before carrying out any work, always unplug the appliance from the 
electrical supply or switch off the all-pole disconnection device. 
 
5.1 General warnings and recommendations   Avoid the use of acidic or abrasive detergents.  Clean the outer surfaces and door-lining of the dishwasher regularly 
using a soft cloth moistened with water or with a normal detergent 
suitable for painted surfaces. Clean the door gaskets with a damp 
sponge. Periodically (once or twice a year) it is advisable to clean the 
tank and gaskets, using a soft cloth and water to remove any deposits. 
 CLEANING THE WATER INTAKE FILTER 
The water intake filter A located at the outlet of the water supply tap 
needs to be cleaned periodically. 
After having closed the water supply tap, unscrew the end of the water 
intake hose, remove the filter A and clean it delicately under running 
water. Reassemble filter A in its seat and carefully screw the water 
intake hose back into position. 
  
 
 CLEANING THE SPRAY ARMS 
The spray arms can be easily removed for periodic cleaning of the 
nozzles, to prevent possible clogging. Wash them under running water 
and carefully replace them in their seats, checking that their rotary 
movement is in no way impeded. 
 
•  To remove the upper spray arm, unscrew locking ring R. 
•  To remove the lower spray arm, simply lift it up, pulling by the 
central part. 
•  To remove the orbital spray arm assembly, take hold of the longer 
arm and pull the orbital unit upward. Wash the arms under a jet of 
running water and return them carefully to their seat. After 
reassembly, check that the spray arms turn freely. Otherwise, 
check that they have been installed correctly.

 CLEANING THE FILTER UNIT  •  It is advisable to periodically inspect the centre filter C and, if 
necessary, to clean it. To remove the filter, grip the tabs, turn them  
anticlockwise and lift upwards; 
•  push the centre filter D from the underside to remove it from the 
micro-filter: 
•  separate the two parts which make up the plastic filter by pressing 
the body of the filter in the zone shown by the arrows; 
•  remove the centre filter by lifting it upwards. 
 
 
 
 
  
 GENERAL WARNINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CORRECT 
MAINTENANCE: 
• The filters should be cleaned under running water 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 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: 
• Run the soak program twice in succession. 
• Unplug the power cord from the socket. 
• Leave the door slightly open,  in order to prevent the formation of 
unpleasant odours inside the washing tank. 
• Fill the rinse aid dispenser. 
• 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 run from the water supply tap for 
a few minutes. 
• Plug the power cord back into the socket. 
• Reconnect the water intake hose and open the tap again. 
 
 
 
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 are not being cleaned properly, 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. 
  
 
 
 
 
  
 
If after following the above troubleshooting instructions the problem 
persists, call the nearest After-Sales Centre. 
 
WARNING: any operations performed on the appliance by 
unauthorised persons are not covered by the warranty and shall be 
paid for by the user.

6. Troubleshooting   The dishwasher is equipped with a self-diagnostics system that is capable of 
detecting and signalling a number of possible faults 
 
TABLE OF FAULTS DETECTED BY THE SELF-DIAGNOSTICS SYSTEM  
FAULT DESCRIPTION 
Er 01 The anti-flooding system (where present) has been tripped. 
Er 02 The water level limitation system has tripped. 
Er 03 The appliance cannot heat the water. 
Er 04 The temperature sensor is disconnected. 
Er 05 The appliance cannot take in the water. 
Er 06 The appliance cannot drain the water from the tank. 
Er 07 The dishwasher cannot measure the precise water quantity that has 
been loaded. 
Er 08 Problem on the water distribution system to the baskets. 
Er 09 Water intake system malfunction 
 If an alarm occurs the appliance interrupts the program in progress and 
signals a fault. 
 • Alarms E1, E2, E3, E4, E8 and E9 interrupt the current program 
immediately. 
• The E5, E6 alarms interrupts the running program once the cause is 
resolved, it will bring bach the execution of the program. 
• The alarm E7 is visualized at the end of the cycle that comes, however, 
brought to the end since the operation of the dishwasher is not harmed. 
 To “reset” an alarm is necessary:  • Open and close the door, or turn off and on the machine. At this point is 
possible to program the dishwasher again. 
 
 
 
   If the malfunction persists, contact your authorised Service Centre.
