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 declared programme. As a consequence, it has a very long running time.

Half load button

This option is useful and economical when baskets are not fully loaded. It reduces the consumption of water and energy.

Remember to load both baskets.

When using this option we recommend to reduce the dose of detergent that is normally used for a completed load.

This option is available only with some programmes (see "Washing programmes" chart).

Setting 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.

Setting the water softener	9

The water softener must be set in both ways: manually, using the water hardness dial and electronically.

	Water hardness			Adjusting the water hardness			Use of salt

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.

2.Pour 1 litre of water inside the container (this is necessary only before filling with

salt for the first time) .

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.

Use of rinse aid 11

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

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.

•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 23

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.

3. Turn the handle about 1/4 a turn anticlockwise and remove the filter system.

4. Take hold of the coarse filter ( A ) by the handle with the hole and remove from the microfilter ( B ).

5. Clean all filters thoroughly under running water.

6. Remove the flat filter from the base of

the washing compartment and clean

both faces thoroughly. 7. Put the flat filter back in the base of the

washing compartment and ensure that it fits perfectly.

8. Place the coarse filter ( A ) in the microfilter ( B ) and press together.

9. Put the filter combination in place and lock by turning the handle clockwise to

the stop. During this process ensure that the flat filter does not protrude

above the base of the washing compartment.

WARNING!

NEVER use the dishwasher without filters. Incorrect repositioning and fitting of the filters will produce poor washing results and may result in damage to the appliance.

Cleaning the spray arms

NEVER try to remove the spray arms.

If residues of soil have clogged the holes in the spray arms, remove them with a cocktail stick.

24 What to do if…

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....).

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 the wash programme for heavy soiled dishes using detergent but without dishes.

Prolonged periods of non-operation

If you are not using the machine for any prolonged period of time you are advised to:

1.Unplug the appliance and then turn off the water.

2.Leave the door ajar to prevent the formation of any unpleasant smells.

3.Leave the inside of the machine clean.

Frost precautions

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.

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.

28 Installation

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.

This dishwasher is designed to be fitted under a kitchen counter or work surface. Attention! Carefully follow the instructions on the enclosed template for building in the dishwasher and fitting the furniture panel.

No further openings for the venting of the dishwasher are required, but only to let the water fill and drain hose and power supply cable pass through.

The dishwasher incorporates adjustable feet to allow the adjustment of the height. During all operations that involve accessibility to internal components the dishwasher has to be unplugged.

When inserting the machine, ensure that the water inlet hose, the drain hose and the supply cable are not kinked or squashed.

Fixing to the adjacent units

The dishwasher must be secured against tilting.

Therefore make sure that the counter it is fixed under, is suitably secured to a fixed structure (adjacent kitchen unites, cabinets, wall).

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.

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" 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.

Water connection 29

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.

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.

30 Electrical connection

The waste connection must be at a maximum height of 60 cm from the bottom of the dish-

washer.

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.

The total length of the drain hose, including any

extension you might add, must be no longer than 4 metres. The internal diameter of the extension hose 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.

To avoid water leakage after installation make sure that the water couplings are tight.

Electrical connection

WARNING!

Safety standards require the appliance to be earthed.

Prior to using the appliance for the first time, ensure that the rated voltage and type of supply on the rating plate match that of the supply where the appliance is to be installed. The fuse rating is also to be found on the rating plate.

Always plug the mains plug into a correctly installed shockproof socket. Multi-way plugs, connectors and extension cables must not be used.

This could constitute a fire hazard through overheating.

If necessary, have the domestic wiring system socket replaced. In case that the electrical cable has to be replaced, contact your local Service Force centre.

The plug must be accessible after the appliance has been installed. Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the cable. Always pull the plug.

The manufacturer accepts no liability for failure to observe the above safety precautions.
