CLEANING THE SPRAY ARMS

seats, checking that their rotary movement is in no way impeded. -
Grasp the middle of the spray arm, and pull it upwards to remove it. Wash the arms under a jet of running water and replace it carefully to its seat. After reassembly, check that the spray arms rotate freely. Otherwise, check that they have been installed correctly.
GENERAL TIPS
- Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the plug.
- After every wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance and leave the door slightly ajar.
- When not in use for a long time – It is recommended that you run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and then remove the plug from the socket, turn off the water supply and leave the door of the appliance slightly open. This will help the door seals to last longer and prevent odors.
- Moving the appliance – If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in the vertical position.
- Installation preparation – The installation position of the dishwasher should be near the existing water inlet tap. One side of the cabinet sink should be chosen to facilitate the connection of drain hoses of the dishwasher.
- Water connection – Connect the hot water supply hose to a threaded 3/4 (inch) connector and make sure that it is fastened tightly in place. If the water pipes are new or have not been used for an extended period of time, let the water run to make sure that the water is clear and free of impurities. If this precaution is not taken, there is a risk that the water inlet can get blocked and damage the appliance.
Please Note: If the supplied hose does not fit your tap, you may need to contact a plumbing supply company for an adapter.
CONNECTION OF DRAIN HOSES
- The drain hose must be correctly fitted to avoid water leaks. Ensure that the water drain hose is not kinked or in any way impeded.
- How to drain excess water from hoses – If the sink is higher than the surface where you have placed your dishwasher it will be necessary to drain excess water into a bucket that is lower than the dishwasher position.
- If you need a drain hose extension, make sure to use a similar drain hose no longer than 12 feet otherwise the cleaning effect of the dishwasher could be reduced.
