Safety, a good habit to get into

WARNING

Read the instructions contained in this manual carefully, as

they will provide you with important information on safety

when installing, using and servicing your appliance.

This dishwasher conforms to the following

European Community Directives:

- 73/23/EEC of 19/02/73 (Low Voltage) and subsequent

modifications;

- 89/336/EEC of 03/05/89 (Electromagnetic Compatibility)

Salt …

Salt

Water hardness varies according to where you live. If hard

water were to enter your dishwasher, scaly incrustations

would form on your dishes.

Thanks to a water softener which uses special dishwasher

salt, the limescale in the water is eliminated.

Loading salt into the water softener

Always use salt which is intended for dishwasher use.

The salt container is situ-

ated underneath the lower

rack and should be filled up

as follows:

1. Pull out the lower rack

completely, unscrew and

remove the container cap.

2. If it is the first time you

load the salt container, fill

it up with water.

3. Put the funnel provided

on the hole and pour in

approximately two kilos of

salt. It is normal if some water comes out of the container.

4. Screw the cap back in place carefully.

The salt container should be filled up when the "low

salt" indicator light on the control panel comes on.

Warning: To prevent rust from forming, load the salt just

before beginning a wash cycle.

Adjusting the salt consumption

Your dishwasher can adjust its

salt consumption according to

the hardness of the water used

in order to optimise and

customise the dishwasher's salt

consumption to the minimum

level necessary.

You can find out what the level

of water hardness in your area

is from the company that sup-

plies the water there.

To make the adjustment, follow

the instructions below:

1. unscrew the salt container cap

2. there is an arrow on the neck of the container (see figure

on the right); if necessary, turn the arrow anti-clockwise from

the "-" setting to the "+" setting according to the hardness

of the water supplied.

We recommend you make the adjustment according to the

following table:

Detergent and rinse aid ….

The detergent

Only use specific dishwasher detergents. The detergent dis-

penser must be filled before each wash cycle begins accord-

ing to the instructions given in the "Wash cycle table". The

detergent dispenser is situated on the inside of the appli-

ance door.

Loading the detergent

To open lid "A", press button "B". The detergent should be

poured into the two containers "C" and "D" up to the rim.

After pouring in the detergent, replace the lid, pressing down

until it clicks.

Dishwasher detergent in tabs is now available on the mar-

ket, in which case you should place one tab into container

"D" and replace the lid.

If you use powder or liquid detergent, you can also fit the 2

plugs provided in the two special housings in lid "A", before

closing the latter. This way, your dishes will come out cleaner.

Warning: to make sure the lid shuts properly, remove

any detergent residue from the edges of the container

before closing it.

The rinse aid

This product makes dishes sparkle more and it improves their

drying. The rinse aid container is situated on the inside of

the door; you should fill it up on average every 80 wash

cycles (if your dishwasher is provided with the "low rinse

aid" indicator light, then fill it up when the latter comes on).

Loading the rinse aid

To open the dispenser, turn cap "C" anticlockwise and take

care when you pour in the rinse aid to avoid it overflowing.

You can adjust the amount of rinse aid used by the dish-

washer, by using a screwdriver to regulate the dosage ad-

juster "F" you will find under lid "C". There are 6 possible

settings; it is normally set to 4.

Important:

Adjusting the rinse aid supply improves drying.

If drops of water remain on the dishes or spotting occurs,

turn the dosage adjuster to a higher setting. If, on the other

hand, the dishes have white streaks, then turn the dosage

adjuster down to a lower setting.

Before placing the dishes in the racks, remove the largest

scraps of food left over on your plates, you will thus avoid

blocking the filter, which would reduce the efficacy of the

wash.

If the saucepans and frying pans are very dirty, allow them

to soak before being washed.

You will thus avoid having to wash them again.

To make it easier to load your dishes, pull the racks out

fully.

How to use the lower rack

We recommend you place the most difficult dishes to wash

into the lower rack:

pans, lids, dinner plates and soup plates as illustrated in

the figure to the left.

Serving dishes and large lids should preferably be placed

on the sides of the rack, without for that matter obstruct-

ing the rotation of the top sprayer arm.

- pans, salad bowls etc. must always be placed upside down

- very deep dishes should be placed obliquely, thus allow-

ing water to run down them freely.

- Place the cutlery with the handles at the bottom; if the

basket is the one with side inserts, then insert the tea spoons

one by one into the slots provided (see fig. A).

Longer utensils should be placed horizontally at the front

of the upper rack.

How to use the upper rack

The upper rack is designed to contain delicate and light-

weight items such as glasses, tea and coffee cups, saucers,

but also plates, shallow salad bowls, slightly dirty frying

pans and saucepans.

- Position lightweight dishes in such as way as to avoid

their being moved by the spray of water.

How to adjust the upper rack.

The upper rack can be set in a high or low position. To do

so, open the rail stop flaps and pull the rack out com-

pletely; now place it with the back wheels in high or low

position, then slide it along the guide rails until the front

wheels also go in; now close the rail stop flaps. (see figure

F).

How to start the dishwasher

To start a wash cycle…

1. Make sure the appliance is plugged into the power socket

in the wall.

2. Ensure the water tap has been turned on fully.

3. Load the dishes (see chapter entitled "loading the dishes")

4. Pour in the detergent (see chapter entitled "salt, deter-

gent and rinse aid").

5. Turn the knob situated on the right-hand side of the con-

trol panel anticlockwise until the reference notch on the knob

corresponds with the number or symbol for the cycle you

wish to set (have a look at the chapter entitled "Wash cycle

table").

6. Press the ON-OFF button and the respective ON-OFF indi-

cator light will come on. The wash cycle will now begin.

Cancelling or modifying a wash cycle in progress…..

Premise: a wash cycle in progress can only be modified if it

hasn't been running for long. Press the ON-OFF button and

the relative indicator light will come off. Turn the knob clock-

wise to the desired setting (see paragraph entitled "to start

a wash cycle"), then turn the appliance back on by pressing

the ON-OFF button.

Wash cycle modification buttons

"65°C" button

Press this button "E" with wash cycles 1 and 2 and the tem-

perature of the water is increased to 65°C. Use it if you have

to wash saucepans and dishes with dry caked-on food.

We do not recommend you use it for washing delicate items

as the high temperatures reached could make their surfaces

opaque or discolour the decorations.

If you have left out some dishes…

You can interrupt the wash cycle, if it has only just started,

by turning off the appliance (press the ON-OFF button) then

insert the dishes you had left out, taking care not to scald

yourself with the hot steam and then turn the dishwasher

back on. The wash cycle will start up from where it was

interrupted.

At the end of the wash cycle…..

When the knob stops turning and stops

at a STOP notch (see figure), the wash

cycle has finished. Turn the appliance off

by pressing the ON-OFF button, turn off

the water tap and open the door taking

care not to scald yourself with the hot

steam.

Wait a few minutes before removing the dishes: this way

you won't have to handle them while they're still hot and

more sensitive to shock, and they will also dry better.

Warning:

When you open the dishwasher door after the wash cycle

has just ended or is under way, take care not to scald your-

self with hot steam!

Tips to help you save

- It is important that you try to use the dishwasher with a full

load only in order to optimise consumption levels; in the

meantime use the soak cycle to avoid the formation of bad

odours and caked-on food.

- Select the most suitable wash cycle: the choice of wash

cycle depends on the type of dishes to wash and on how

dirty they are.

- Use the right amount of detergent: if you use too much,

you will not get cleaner dishes, but just more environmental

pollution.

- There is no need to rinse the dishes before placing them

inside the dishwasher.

How to keep your dishwasher in shape

After every wash

After every wash, turn off the water tap and leave the dish-

washer door ajar, so that moisture and bad odours are not

trapped inside.

Unplug the appliance

Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance on the dish-

washer, always remove the plug from the electricity socket:

this way you will avoid the risk of any danger.

No solvent or abrasive cleaning products

Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products to clean

the exterior and rubber parts of your appliance. Use a cloth

dampened with lukewarm soapy water only.

To remove any stains from the surface of the appliance inte-

rior, use a cloth dampened with water and a little white

vinegar or a cleaning product specifically made for dishwash-

ers.

If you are off on holiday

When you go on holiday, we recommend you run a cycle

with the dishwasher empty, then unplug it, turn off the wa-

ter inlet tap and leave the dishwasher door ajar: this will

help the seals last longer and prevent unpleasant odours

from forming inside the appliance.

If you are moving home

Should the appliance have to be moved, try to keep it in a

vertical position.; if absolutely necessary, it can be positioned

on its back.

The seals.

One of the factors that cause unpleasant odours to form

inside the dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the

seals. Periodic cleaning using a damp sponge will prevent

this from occurring.

Cleaning and special maintenance

The filter assembly

If you want consistent good results from your dishwasher,

you need to clean the filter assembly.

Thanks to the filter, the food particles are removed from the

wash water, allowing it to be recirculated during the cycle,

filtered perfectly. For this reason, it is a good idea to remove

the larger food particles

trapped inside the cup "C"

and semi-circular filter "A"

after each wash. All you

need to do is rinse them

under running water; to

remove the filter assembly,

pull the cup handle up-

wards. The entire filter as-

sembly, comprising a semi-

circular filter "A" and a

microfilter "B", should be

cleaned thoroughly once a

month.

To clean the filter and the microfilter, use a toothbrush.

Reassemble the two parts as shown in the figures below

and reinsert the whole assembly into the dishwasher, posi-

tioning it into its housing and pressing downwards.

The dishwasher is not to be used without filters. Improper

replacement of the filters may reduce the efficiency of the

wash and even damage your dishwasher.

Cleaning the sprayer arms

Food residue may become encrusted onto the sprayer arms

and block the holes where water comes out; check them on

a regular basis and clean them (see the Close-up View (in-

side) letters F-I).

Is there a problem?

Your dishwasher may not work or not function properly.

Before calling for assistance, let's have a look at what can

be done: you may have forgotten to press a button or for

some reason or another you haven't carried out a proce-

dure necessary for the appliance to operate correctly.

The dishwasher won't start

Have you checked:

whether the appliance is plugged in properly or whether

there is electricity in your home, or whether the dishwasher

door has been shut correctly or whether the ON-OFF button

is on "ON" and whether the tap has been turned on?

The dishwasher won't load any water

Have you checked:

whether the tap has been turned on and is well connected

to the hose or whether there is no water throughout your

home or whether the pressure of the water supply is suffi-

cient, whether the hose is bent or the filter on the water

supply hose is blocked?

The dishes are not clean

Have you checked:

whether the right amount of detergent is in the dispenser,

the wash cycle selected is suitable for the dishes loaded, or

whether the filter and the microfilter are clean and whether

the sprayer arms can turn freely?

The dishwasher won't drain

Have you checked:

whether the drain hose is bent?

Limescale deposits or a white film form on the dishes

Have you checked:

whether the lid on the salt container is closed properly or

whether the amount of rinse aid has been adjusted correctly?

If, despite all these checks, your dishwasher still won't work

and the trouble you are having persists, call your nearest

authorised service centre, mentioning the following infor-

mation:

- the type of malfunction

- the model mark (Mod….) and the serial number (S/N….)

indicated on the rating plate located on the inner door, to

one side.

Never call upon the services of unauthorised techni-

cians and always refuse spare parts that are not origi-

nals.

Installation

Positioning the appliance

Place your dishwasher where you want to install it. The ap-

pliance can even be placed so that its sides or back panel

are side by side with furniture or up against the wall. The

dishwasher is provided with water supply and drain hoses,

which can be directed towards the left or right to facilitate

appropriate installation.

This dishwasher model can be built-in under the one

worktop, and it therefore comes provided with an assembly

kit complete with an instructions sheet.

Levelling

Once the appliance is positioned, adjust the feet by screw-

ing them in or out depending on how high you want it and

level it so that it is horizontal; however it must not be tilted

by more than 2° under any circumstances.

If the appliance is level, this will help ensure its correct op-

eration.

Cold water connection.

Connect the cold water supply hose to a 3/4 gas threaded

connection, taking care to screw it tightly onto the tap (see

figure 1).

If the water hoses are new or have been out of use for an

extended period of time, let the water run to make sure it is

clear and free of impurities before making the connection.

If this precaution is not taken, the water inlet could get

blocked, causing damage to your dishwasher.

Hot water connection

Your dishwasher can be supplied with hot water from the

mains supply (if you have a central heating system with ra-

diators) at a temperature of no more than 60°C.

In this case, the wash cycle time will be about 15 minutes

shorter and the wash will be slightly less effective.

The connection must be made to the hot water supply fol-

lowing the same procedures as those indicated for the cold

water connection.

Anti-flooding protection

Your dishwasher is provided with a system that stops the

supply of water in the event of a problem with the water

supply hose or leaks within the appliance, thus preventing

any damage from being caused to your home. If for any

reason the box (containing the electrical components) hap-

pens to get damaged, unplug the appliance from the elec-

tricity socket immediately. To guarantee that the anti-flood-

ing safety device operates properly, box "A", with the wa-

ter inlet hose, must be attached to the water supply tap

only as shown in the figure.

Under no circumstance

should the water supply

hose be cut as it contains

live electrical parts. If the

length of the hose is not

sufficient for proper con-

nection, replace the hose

with one which is long

enough. This hose is avail-

able upon request from

specialised retailers and

service centres.

Drain hose connection

Fit the drain pipe into a drain

line with a minimum diameter

of 4 cm or place it over the

sink, avoiding restricting or

bending it and using the spe-

cial plastic elbow provided (see

figure to the left). The free end

of the hose should be be-

tween 40 and 100 cm above

the ground and should not be

immersed in water.

Warning: the special plastic elbow should be fastened firmly

onto the wall to prevent the drain hose from moving and

allowing water to spill outside the drain.

Electrical connection

Plug the appliance into a socket provided with an efficient

earth connection (the system's earthing is a guarantee of

safety provided for by law), after having checked that the

mains voltage and frequency values correspond to those

stated on the rating plate located on the stainless steel inner

door of the appliance and that the electrical system to which

the dishwasher is connected is sized for the maximum cur-

rent indicated on said rating plate. If the power socket to

which the appliance is connected is not compatible with the

plug, replace it with a suitable plug rather than using adapt-

ers or multiple plugs as these could cause overheating or

burns.

If the electricity supply wire is damaged, we recommend

you contact authorised Technical Assistance service centres

exclusively for a replacement.
