CLEANING THE FILTERS
The filter system (fig.A “4”) consists of:
a central container that traps the larger
particles;
a flat gauze that continuously filters the
wash water;
a micro filter, located beneath the gauze,
that traps the tiniest particles ensuring a
perfect rinse.
■ To achieve excellent results every time,
the filters should be checked and
cleaned after each wash.
■ To remove the filter unit, simply turn the
handle anticlockwise (fig. 1).
■ For ease of cleaning, the central container
is removable (fig. 2).
■ Remove the gauze filter (fig.3) and
wash the whole unit under a jet of
water. If necessary a small brush can
be used.
■ With the Self-cleaning Micro filter,
maintenance is reduced and the filter
unit need only be checked every two
weeks. Nevertheless, after each wash it
is advisable to check that the central
container and the gauze filter are not
clogged.
WARNING!
After cleaning the filters, make sure
that they are correctly reassembled
and that the gauze filter is properly
positioned at the bottom of the
dishwasher.
Make sure that the filter is screwed
back, clockwise, into the gauze, as
poor seating of the filter unit could
have an adverse effect on the
efficiency of the appliance.
IMPORTANT
Never use the dishwasher without
the filters.

Filling the rinse aid container
The rinse aid, which is automatically
released during the last rinsing cycle, helps
the dishes to dry quickly and prevents
spots and stains forming.
The rinse aid container can be found to the
left of the detergent container (fig. A "3").
To open the lid, push the reference mark
and, in the same time, pull the tab of
opening.
It is always advisable to use rinse aid that
is specifically designed for dishwasher.
Check the rinse aid level through the
indicator eye (C) which is located on the
dispenser.
Regulating the rinse aid from 1 to 6
The regulator (D) is placed under the lid
and can be turned using a coin.
The recommended position is 4.
The limestone content of the water
considerably affects the formation of
limescale and the drying performance.
It is therefore important to regulate the
quantity of rinse aid to achieve good
washing results.
If, after the wash, streaks occur on the
dishes, decrease the amount by one
position. If whitish spots occur, increase the
amount by one position.
■ the effectiveness of detergents containing
the built in water softener/salt depends
on the hardness of your water supply.
Check that the hardness of your water
supply is within the effective range given
on the detergent packaging.
In certain circumstances use of combined
detergents can cause:
■ limescale deposits on dishes or in the
dishwasher;
■ a reduction in washing and drying
performance.
Should this occur, we would recommend
using traditional separate products – salt,
detergent and rinse agent. This will ensure
that the water softener in the dishwasher
operates correctly.
Please note that on return to the use of
conventional salt, a number of cycles will
be required before the system becomes
fully efficient again.
IMPORTANT
Any problems which arise as a direct
result of the use of these products
