First use

Before using your dishwasher for the first time:

• Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply with the installation instruc-

tions

• 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 ("3 in 1", "4 in 1", "5 in 1" etc... ) follow the
instructions given in "Use of detergent".

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.

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.

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.

Use of rinse aid

9

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

10

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

The lower basket is designed to take saucepan, lids,
plates, salad bowls, cutlery ect.

Service dishes and large lids should be arranged
around the edge of the basket, ensuring that the
spray arms can turn freely.

Load cutlery and dishes

11

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:

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

The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates, saucers, dinner plates of up to 24
cm in diameter), salad bowls, cups and glasses
Arrange items on and underneath the cup racks so that water can reach all surfaces.
Glasses with long stems can be placed upside down in the cup racks. For taller items, the
cup racks can be folded upwards.
Glasses with long stems can be placed upside down in the cup racks.
For taller items, the cup racks can be folded upwards.
Light items ( plastic bowls etc.) must be loaded in the upper basket and arranged so they
do not move.

Load cutlery and dishes

13

In case that plates are loaded in the upper basket, load them starting from the rear positions
of the basket, tilting them slightly forwards and avoiding the front positions near the door.
Before closing the door, ensured that the
spray arms can rotate freely.

Adjusting the height of the upper basket

If washing very large plates you can load them in the lower basket after moving the upper
basket to the higher position.

Maximum height of the dishes in:

the upper basket the lower basket

With upper basket raised 20 cm 31 cm
With upper basket lowered 24 cm 27 cm

To move to the higher position proceed as follows:

Use of detergent

14

1. Move the front runner stops (A) of the up­per basket outwards and slide the basket
out.

2. Refit the basket in the higher position and
replace the stops (A) in their original po­sition.

When the upper basket is raised you will not
be able to use the cup racks.

WARNING!

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

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.

Use of detergent

15

Use of 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...).

1. Check whether these detergents are suitable for your water hardness. See the manu­facturers instructions.

2. Select the lowest setting for water hardness and rinse aid dosage.

3. Before the start of the washing programme put the combi detergent tablet in the
detergent dispenser.

The refilling of the salt container and the rinse aid dispenser are no longer necessary. In
this case the rinse aid indicator light will always remain illuminated when the machine is
switched on (not all dishwasher models are foreseen with rinse aid indicator light).

If the drying results are not satisfactory we recommend that you:

1. Fill up the rinse aid dispenser with rinse aid.

2. Set the rinse aid dosage to position 2.

If you decide to turn back to the use of the standard detergent system we advise
that you:

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.

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

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.

Water connection

24

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" 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.

Water connection

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.

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.

Electrical connection

26

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.

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.
