Maintenance and cleaning
Internal cleaning
Ensure that the seals around the door, the detergent and rinse aid dispensers are cleaned regularly with a damp cloth. We recommend every 3 months to run a 65°C wash without dishes using detergent. The dishwasher must not be used without filters. Incorrect repositioning and fitting of the filters will produce poor washing results. Cleaning the filters is vital to ensure correct operation of the machine.
Cleaning the central filter
(After each wash) Scraps of food may accumulate in the drain filter (A) and should be removed by rinsing the filter under running water. To remove the drain filter - simply pull it out by the handle. Once cleaned, refit the filter by pushing it back to its original position until it engages.
External cleaning
Clean the external surfaces of the machine and control panel with a damp soft cloth. If necessary use only neutral detergents. Never use abrasive products, scouring pads or solvent (acetone, trichloroethylene etc....).
Prolonged periods of non-operation
If you are not using the machine for any period of time you are advised to: 1. Unplug the appliance and then turn off the water. 2. Fill the rinse aid dispenser. 3. Leave the door ajar to prevent the formation of any unpleasant smells. 4. Leave the inside of the machine clean.

Frost precautions

MA19
Avoid placing the machine in a location where the temperature is below 0°C. If this is unavoidable, empty the machine, close the appliance door, disconnect the water inlet pipe and empty it.
Cleaning the large filter
(Every week) If necessary clean the large filter (B) on both sides under running water, using a brush. To remove the large filter 1. Remove the spray arm by pulling it upwards on one side. 2. Turn the column (C) anticlockwise by 90° and then slide out the filter. 3. Once cleaned refit it following the above instructions in reverse order. 4. Ensure the filter is in its original position, the handle of the drain filter should be pointing towards the front of the appliance.
Moving the machine
If you have to move the machine (moving house etc....): 1. Unplug it. 2. Turn the water tap off. 3. Remove the water inlet and discharge hoses. 4. Pull the machine out together with the hoses. Avoid over tilting the machine during transportation.
