NIGHT CYCLE button

Night Cycle is a silent washing programme that will not disturb you, even when you sleep. It can be set at night or in times with a more economical power rate. During the Night Cycle the pump runs at a very low speed to reach a noise level reduction of 25% compared to the declaration programme. As a consequence, it has a very long running time.

Function buttons

The following functions can be set with the help of these buttons:

• setting of the water softener,

• activation/deactivation of the rinse aid dispenser when Multitab function is active.

Setting mode

The appliance is in setting mode when ALL programme lights are illuminated. Always remember that when performing the following operations:

– selecting a washing programme, – setting the water softener, – activating/deactivating the rinse aid, the appliance MUST be in setting mode.

If a programme light is illuminated, the last performed or selected programme is still set. In this case, to return to setting mode, the programme has to be cancelled.

To cancel a set programme or a programme in progress

Press and hold the RESET button until all the programme lights illuminate. The programme has been cancelled and the machine is now in setting mode.

First use

Before using your dishwasher for the first time:

• Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply with the installation instructions

• Remove all packaging from inside the appliance

• Set the water softener

• Pour 1 litre of water inside the salt container and then fill with dishwasher salt

• Fill the rinse aid dispenser

If you want to use combi detergent tablets such as: "3 in 1", "4 in 1", "5 in 1" etc... set the Multitab function (see "Multitab function").

Set the water softener

The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener designed to remove minerals and salts from the water supply, which would have a detrimental or adverse effect on the operation of the appliance. The higher the content of these minerals and salts, the harder your water is. Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, German degrees (°dH), French degrees (°TH) and mmol/l (millimol per litre - international unit for the hardness of water). The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water in your area. Your local Water Authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area. The water softener must be set in both ways: manually, using the water hardness dial and electronically.

Use of dishwasher salt

WARNING!

Only use salt specifically designed for use in dishwashers. All other types of salt not specifically designed for use in a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water softener. Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete washing programmes. This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been spilt, remaining on the bottom of the machine for any period of time, which may cause corrosion.

To fill:

1. Open the door, remove the lower basket and unscrew the cap of the salt container by turning it anticlockwise.

Pour 1 litre of water inside the container (this is necessary only before filling with salt for the first time) .

Use of rinse aid

3. Using the funnel provided, pour in the salt until the container is full.

4. Replace the cap making sure that there is no trace of salt on the screw thread or on the gasket.

5. Replace the cap tightly turning it clockwise until it stops with a click.

Do not worry if water overflows from the unit when filling with salt, this is quite normal.

The salt indicator light on the control panel can remain illuminated for 2-6 hours after the salt has been replenished, assuming the dishwasher remains switched on. If you are using salts that take longer to dissolve then this can take longer. The function of the machine is not affected.

Use of rinse aid

WARNING!

Only use branded rinse aid for dishwashers. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances (e.g. dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This would damage the appliance.

Rinse aid ensures thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying. Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse.

1. Open the container by pressing the release button (A).

Daily use

2. Add the rinse aid in the container. The maximum level for filling is indicated by "max".

The dispenser holds about 110 ml of rinse aid, which is sufficient for between 16 and 40 dishwashing cycles, depending upon the dosage setting.

3. Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill.

Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next wash.

Adjusting the dosage of rinse aid

According to the finish and drying results obtained, adjust the dose of rinse aid by means of the 6 position selector (position 1= minimum dosage, position 6= maximum dosage). The dose is factory set in position 4.

Increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on the dishes after washing. Reduce it if there are sticky whitish streaks on the dishes or a bluish film on glassware or knife blades.

Daily use

• Check if it's necessary to refill with dishwasher salt or rinse aid.

• Load cutlery and dishes into the dishwasher.

• Fill with dishwasher detergent.

• Select a wash programme suitable for the cutlery and dishes.

• Start the wash programme.

Load cutlery and dishes

Sponges, household cloths and any object that can absorb water may not be washed in the dishwasher.

• Before loading the dishes, you should:

– Remove all left over food and debris. – Soften remnants of burnt food in pans

• When loading the dishes and cutlery, please note:

– Dishes and cutlery must not impede the rotation of the spray arms. – Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans, etc. with the opening downwards so

that water cannot collect in the container or a deep base. – Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another, or cover each other. – To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch. – Lay small objects in the cutlery basket.

• Plastic items and pans with non stick coatings have a tendency to retain water drops; these items will not dry as well as porcelain and steel items.

• Light items (plastic bowls etc.) must be loaded in the upper basket and arranged so they do not move.

For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery and dishes

are not suitable: are of limited suitability:

• Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or motherof-pearls handles.

• Plastic items that are not heat resistant.

• Older cutlery with glued parts that are not temperature resistant.

• Bonded cutlery items or dishes.

• Pewter or copper items.

• Lead crystal glass.

• Steel items prone to rusting.

• Wooden platters.

• Items made from synthetics fibres.

Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes.

• Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it is specially marked as being dishwasher-safe by the manufacturer.

• Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed frequently.

• Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to discolour during washing: Residues, e.g. egg white, egg yolk and mustard often cause discolouring and staining on silver. Therefore always clean left-overs from silver immediately, if it is not to be washed straight after use.

The lower basket

Load larger and heavily soiled dishes and pans in the lower basket.

To make it easier to load larger dishes, the 2 plate racks on the right in the lower basket can be folded down.

Load cutlery and dishes

The cutlery basket

WARNING!

Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard. Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket. Take care when loading or unloading sharp items such as knives.

To ensure that all items of cutlery in the cutlery basket can be reached by the water, you should:

Load cutlery and dishes

1. Place the grid insert on the cutlery basket.

2. Place forks and spoon in the cutlery basket with their handles pointing downwards.

For larger utensils, such as whisks, leave off one half of the cutlery grid.

The upper basket

Load smaller, fragile crockery and long, sharp cutlery in the upper basket.

• Arrange items of crockery on and under the

folding cup racks so that they are offset from each other and water can reach all items.

• The cup racks can be folded up out of the way

for tall crockery items.

• Lay or hang wine and brandy glasses in the

slots in the cup racks.

• For glasses with long stems, fold the glass

rack to the right, otherwise fold it away to the left.

Load cutlery and dishes

• The row of spikes on the left of the upper

basket is also in two parts and can be folded away.

Spikes not folded away: place glasses, mugs etc. in the upper basket.

Spikes folded away: more room for serving dishes.

Adjusting the height of the upper basket

Maximum height of the dishes in:

the upper basket the lower basket

With upper basket raised 22 cm 30 cm With upper basket lowered 24 cm 29 cm

The height of the upper basket can also be adjusted when it is loaded.

Use of detergent

Raising / lowering the upper basket:

1. Pull out the upper basket completely.

2. Holding the upper basket by the handle, raise it as far as it will go and then lower it vertically.

The upper basket will latch into the lower or the upper position.

WARNING!

After loading your machine always close the door, as an open door can be a hazard.

Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely.

Use of detergent

Only use detergents specifically designed for use in dishwashers. Please observe the manufacturer's dosing and storage recommendations as stated on the detergent packaging.

Using no more than the correct amount of detergent contributes to reducing pollution.

Fill with detergent

1. Open the lid.

2. Fill the detergent dispenser (1) with detergent. The marking indicates the dosing levels:

20 = approximately 20 g of detergent 30 = approximately 30 g of detergent.

3. All programmes with prewash need an additional detergent dose (5/10 g) that must be placed in the prewash detergent chamber (2).

This detergent will take effect during the prewash phase.

4. When using detergent tablets, place the tablet in compartment (1)

5. Close the lid and press until it locks in place.

Detergent tablets

Detergent tablets from different manufactures dissolve at different rates. For this reason, some detergent tablets do not attain their full cleaning power during short washing programmes. Therefore, please use long washing programmes when using detergent tablets, to ensure the complete removal of detergent residuals.

Multi-tab function

This appliance is equipped with the "Multitab function", that allows the use of the "Multitab" combi detergent tablets. These products are detergents with a combined cleaning, rinsing and salt functions. They can also contain other different agents depending on which kind of tablets you choose ("3 in 1", "4 in 1", "5 in 1" etc...). Check whether these detergents are suitable for your water hardness. See the manufacturers instructions. This function can be selected with all washing programmes. With the selection of this function the inflow of rinse aid and salt from each respective supply container is automatically deactivated and also the indicator lights for salt and rinse aid are deactivated. Select the "Multitab function " before the start of a washing programme. Once this function is selected (indicator light illuminated) it will remain active also for the following washing programmes. With the use of the "Multitab function", the cycle durations may change. In this case, in the digital display, the indication of the running time of the programme is automatically updated.

Press any button (except On/Off) and the control panel will show the same situation (indicator lights and digital display) as when the programme ended.

2. Open the dishwasher's door, leave it ajar and wait a few minutes before removing the

dishes; in this way they will be cooler and the drying will be improved.

Unloading the dishwasher

• Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks.

The dishes should therefore be allowed to cool down before removing from the appliance.

• Empty the lower basket first and then the upper one; this will avoid water dripping from

the upper basket onto the dishes in the lower one.

• Water may appear on the sides and the door of the dishwasher as the stainless steel will

eventually become cooler than the dishes.

CAUTION!

When the washing programme has finished, it is recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and the water tap turned off.

Care and cleaning

Cleaning the filters

The filters must be checked and cleaned from time to time. Dirty filters will degrade the washing result.

WARNING!

Before cleaning the filters ensure that the machine is switched off.

1. Open the door, remove the lower basket.

Care and cleaning

2. The dishwasher filter system comprises a

coarse filter (A), a microfilter (B) and a flat filter. Unlock the filter system using the handle on the microfilter, and remove the filter system.

Installation instructions

Installation

WARNING!

Any electrical and/or plumbing work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician and/or plumber or competent person.

Remove all packaging before positioning the machine. If possible, position the machine next to a water tap and a drain.

Water connection

Fitting under a counter (kitchen worktop or sink)

By removing the machine's worktop, you can install it under a close fitting sink unit or a pre-existing top, providing the dimensions of the recess correspond to those shown in the picture.

Proceed as follows:

1. Remove the machine's worktop by unscrewing the two rear retaining screws, pull the worktop from the back of the machine and slide out the front slots, lifting the worktop.

2. Insert the machine after adjusting the levelling with the adjustable feet.

When inserting the machine, ensure that the water inlet and drain hoses are not kinked or squashed. During all operations that involve accessibility to internal components the dishwasher has to be unplugged. Be sure that once the appliance has been installed, it is easily accessible for the service engineer in the event that a repair is required. If the dishwasher is later used as a free-standing appliance, the original worktop must be re-mounted. The plinth on free-standing appliances is not adjustable.

Levelling

Good levelling is essential for correct closure and sealing of the door. When the appliance is correctly levelled, the door will not catch on either side of the cabinet. If the door does not close correctly, loosen or tighten the adjustable feet until the machine is perfectly level.

Water connection

Water supply connections

This appliance can be connected to either a hot (max. 60°) or cold water supply.

Water connection

With a hot water supply you can have a significant reduction of energy consumption. This however, depends on how the hot water is produced. (We suggest alternative sources of energy that are more environmentally friendly as e.g. solar or photovoltaic panels and aeolian). For making the connection itself, the coupling nut fitted to the machine's supply hose is designed to screw onto a 3/4" gas thread spout or to a purpose made quick-coupling tap such as the Press-block. The water pressure must be within the limits given in the "Technical specifications". Your local Water Authority will advise you on the average mains pressure in your area. The water inlet hose must not be kinked, crushed, or entangled when it is being connected. The dishwasher features fill and drain hoses which can be turned either to the left or the right to suit the installation by means of the locknut.

The locknut must be correctly fitted to avoid water leaks.

(Attention! NOT all models of dishwashers have fill and drain hoses provided with locknut. In this case, this kind of facility is not possible). If the machine is connected to new pipes or pipes which have not been used for a long time, you should run the water for a few minutes before connecting the inlet hose.

DO NOT use connection hoses which have previously been used for an old appliance.

This appliance has been fitted with safety features which will prevent the water used in the appliance from returning back into the drinking water system. This appliance complies with the applicable plumbing regulations.

Water inlet hose with safety valve

After connecting the double-walled water inlet hose, the safety valve is next to the tap. Therefore the water inlet hose is only under pressure while the water is running. If the water inlet hose starts to leak during this operation, the safety valve cuts off the running water. Please take care when installing the water inlet hose:

• The electrical cable for the safety valve is in the double-walled water inlet hose. Do not

immerse the water inlet hose or the safety valve in water.

• If water inlet hose or the safety valve is damaged, remove the mains plug immediately.

• A water inlet hose with safety valve must only be replaced by a specialist or by the Service

Force Centre.

Water connection

WARNING!

Warning! Dangerous voltage.

Water outlet hose connection

The end of the drain hose can be connected in the following ways:

1. To the sink outlet spigot, securing it to the underside of the work surface. This will prevent waste water from the sink running into the machine.

2. To a stand pipe provided with vent-hole, minimum internal diameter 4 cm.

The waste connection must be at a height of between 30 cm (minimum) and 100 cm (maximum) from the bottom of the dishwasher. The drain hose can face either to the right or left of the dishwasher. Ensure the hose is not bent or squashed as this could prevent or slow down the discharge of water. The sink plug must not be in place when the machine is draining as this could cause the water to syphon back into the machine. If you use a drain hose extension it must be no longer than 2 metres and its internal diameter must be no smaller than the diameter of the hose provided. Likewise the internal diameter of the couplings used for connections to the waste outlet must be no smaller than the diameter of the hose provided. When connecting the drain hose to an under sink trap spigot, the entire plastic membrane (A) must be removed. Failure to remove all the membrane will result in food particles building up over time eventually blocking the dishwasher drain hose spigot.

Our appliances are supplied with a security device to protect against the return of dirty water back into the machine. If the spigot of your sink has a "no return valve" incorporated this can prevent the correct draining of your dishwasher. We therefore advise you to remove it.
