Installation

Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for future EN reference. If the appliance is sold, given away or moved,

please ensure the manual is kept with the machine, so that the new owner may benefit from the advice contained within it.

Please read this instruction manual carefully: it contains important information regarding the safe installation, use and maintenance of the appliance.

If the appliance must be moved at any time, keep it in an upright position; if absolutely necessary, it may be tilted onto its back.

Positioning and levelling

1.Remove the appliance from all packaging and check that it has not been damaged during transportation.

If it has been damaged, contact the retailer and do not proceed any further with the installation process.

2.Check the dishwasher by placing it so that its sides or back panel are in contact with the adjacent cabinets or even with the

wall. This appliance can also be recessed under a single worktop* (see the Assembly instruction sheet).

3.Position the dishwasher on a level and sturdy floor. If the floor is uneven, the front feet of the appliance may be adjusted until it reaches a horizontal position. If the appliance is levelled correctly, it will be more stable and much less likely to move or cause vibrations and noise while it is operating.

4*. Adjust the height of the rear foot from the front of the appliance* on the central lower part of the dishwasher, turning a hexagonal spanner (red color) with an opening of 8 mm in a clockwise direction to increase the height or in an anticlockwise direction to decrease the height.

Connecting the water and electricity supplies

Connection to the water and electricity supplies should only be performed by a qualified technician.

The dishwasher should not stand on top of the water hoses or the electricity supply cable.

The appliance must be connected to the water supply network using new hoses.

Do not use old hoses.

The water inlet (A) and outlet (B) hoses and the electricity supply cable may be positioned towards the right or the left in order to achieve the best possible installation (see figure).

Connecting the water inlet hose

•To a suitable cold water connection point: before attaching the hose, run the water until it is perfectly clear so that any impurities that may be present in the water do not clog the appliance; after performing this operation, screw the inlet hose tightly onto a tap with a ¾ gas threaded connection.

•To a suitable hot water connection point: your dishwasher may be supplied with hot water from the mains supply (if you have a central heating system with radiators) provided that it does not exceed a temperature of 60°C.

Screw the hose to the tap as described for connection to a cold water supply.

If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialist store or an authorised technician (see Assistance).

The water pressure must be within the values indicated in the Technical data table (see adjacent information).

The hose should not be bent or compressed.

Anti-flooding protection

To ensure floods do not occur, the dishwasher:

- is provided with a special system which blocks the water supply in the event of anomalies or leaks from inside the appliance.

Some models are also equipped with the supplementary safety device New Acqua Stop*, which guarantees antiflooding protection even in the event of a supply hose rupture.

WARNING: HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE!

Under no circumstance should the water inlet hose be cut as it contains live electrical parts.

* Only available in selected models.

2

Connecting the water outlet hose

Connect the outlet hose (without bending it) to a drain duct with a minimum diameter of 4 cm. Alternatively, rest it over a sink or tub; the free end of the hose should not remain immersed in water.

A

The special plastic elbow* makes it easier to find the best layout: fix the elbow to the wall securely in order to prevent the outlet hose from moving and spilling the dirty water.

The part of the hose marked with the letter A should be between 40 and 100 cm above the ground (see figure).

We advise against the use of hose extensions.

Electrical connection

Before inserting the plug into the electrical socket, make sure that:

•The socket is earthed and complies with current regulations.

•The socket can withstand the maximum load of the appliance, which is indicated on the data plate located on the inside of the door (see chapter entitled Description of the appliance).

•The power supply voltage falls within the values indicated on the data plate on the inside of the door.

•The socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance. If this is not the case, ask an authorised technician to replace the plug (see Assistance); do not use extension cables or multiple sockets.

Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply cable and the electrical socket should be easily accessible.

The cable should not be bent or compressed.

If the power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its Technical Assistance Service in order to prevent all potential hazards. (See Assistance)

The Company shall not be held responsible for any incidents that occur if these regulations are not observed.

Anti-condensation strip*

After installing the dishwasher, open the door and stick the	EN
adhesive transparent strip under the wooden shelf in order to
protect it from any condensation which may form.

Advice regarding the first wash cycle

After the appliance has been installed, immediately before running the first wash cycle, completely fill the salt dispenser with water and add only then approximately 1 kg of salt (see chapter entitled Rinse aid and refined salt). The water may overflow: this is normal and is not a cause for concern. Select the water hardness value (see chapter entitled Rinse aid and refined salt). - After the salt has been poured into the machine, the LOW SALT indicator light* switches off.

If the salt container is not filled, the water softener and the heating element may be damaged as a result.

Loading the racks

Before loading the racks, remove all food residues from EN the crockery and empty liquids from glasses and cups.

After loading the appliance, check that the sprayer arms can rotate freely.

Lower rack

The lower rack can hold pans, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery, etc. as seen in the Loading examples.

Plates and large covers should be placed at the sides of the rack, ensuring that they do not block the rotation of the upper sprayer arm.

Some dishwasher models are fitted with tip-up sections*, which can be used in a vertical position when arranging plates or in a horizontal position when arranging pans and salad bowls.

Cutlery basket

The type of cutlery basket may vary according to the dishwasher model: it may be modular, non-modular or a sliding version. The non-modular basket must only be positioned at the front of the lower rack.

The modular basket may be separated into two parts, a solution which is recommended when performing a half load wash (only in models offering this option), is available in a sliding version (positioned at any point on the lower rack by sliding it between the fixed or tip-up inserts.

- Both versions are fitted with a collapsible sliding system which means the cutlery can be arranged in the best possible way.

Knives and other utensils with sharp edges must be placed in the cutlery basket with the points facing downwards, or they must be positioned horizontally in the tipup compartments on the upper rack.

Cutlery basket positioning examples

Upper rack

Load this rack with delicate and lightweight crockery: glasses, tea and coffee cups, saucers, small salad bowls, saucepans and small saucepans which are not too soiled, using the Loading examples as a guide.

•Mugs and cups: place these on the tip-up compartments**.

•Long sharp knives and serving utensils: place these on the

tip-up compartments**.

Adjusting the height of the upper rack

In order to make it easier to arrange the crockery, the upper rack may be moved to a higher or lower level. (in models which

The height of the upper rack should ideally be adjusted WHEN THE RACK IS EMPTY.

Never lift or lower the rack on one side only.

Open the left and right guide rail stops and pull out the rack; position it higher or lower as required, slide it along the guide rails until the front wheels are in place and close the stops (see figure).

If the rack is fitted with Dual Space handles* (see figure), pull out the upper rack until it reaches its stop point, grip the handles at the sides of the rack and move it upwards or downwards, then slowly let it fall back into place.

Switch it back on using the same button and select the desired wash cycle and options.

Adding extra crockery

Press the Start/Pause button (the corresponding indicator light will flash). Open the door, taking care to avoid the escaping steam, and place the crockery inside the appliance. Press the Start/Pause button (fixed light): the cycle starts from the point at which it was interrupted.

If the Start/Pause button is pressed so as to pause the machine, the wash cycle or the Delayed Start* function (if selected) is interrupted.

At this stage it is not possible to change the wash cycle.

Accidental interruptions

If the door is opened during the wash cycle, or if there is a power cut, the cycle stops. It starts again from the point at which it was interrupted once the door has been shut or once the electricity supply is restored.

Measuring out the detergent

A good wash result also depends on the correct	EN
amount of detergent being used; exceeding the stated
amount does not result in a more effective wash and
increases environmental pollution.

Only use detergent which has been specifically designed for dishwashers.

DO NOT USE washing up liquid.

Using excessive detergent may result in foam residue remaining in the machine after the cycle has ended.

The use of tablets is only recommended for models which offer the MULTI-FUNCTIONAL TABLETS option.

To achieve the best results from each washing and drying cycle, powder detergent, rinse aid liquid and salt should be used.

Compartment A: Washing detergent

Notes:

Optimum performance levels when using the "Daily A 60 wash" and "Rapid/Speed wash" cycles can be achieved by observing the maximum amounts of crockery specified.

To make it easier to measure out the detergent, it is worth remembering that:

1 tablespoon = 15 gr. of powder = approximately 15 ml of liquid - 1 teaspoon = 5 gr. of powder = approximately 5 ml of liquid

* The Eco wash cycle adheres to the regulation EN-50242. Although it has a longer duration than other wash cycles it uses less energy and is les harmful to the environment.

Rinse aid and refined salt

Only use products which have been EN specifically designed for dishwashers.

Do not use table salt or industrial salt, or washing up liquid.

Follow the instructions given on the packaging.

If using a multi-functional product it is not necessary to add rinse aid; however, we recommend that you add salt, especially if you live in an area where the water is hard or very hard. Follow the instructions given on the packaging.

If you do not add salt or rinse aid, the LOW SALT* and LOW RINSE AID* indicator lights remain lit.

Measuring out the rinse aid

Rinse aid makes it easier for the crockery to dry, as water runs off surfaces more readily and therefore does not leave streaks or marks.

The rinse aid dispenser should be filled:

• When the LOW RINSE AID* indicator light on the control panel is illuminated;

1. Open the dispenser by turning the lid (G) in an anticlockwise

direction.

2. Pour in the rinse aid, making

sure it does not overflow from the F dispenser. If this happens, clean

the spill immediately with a dry

Gcloth.

3. Screw the lid back on.

NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the appliance tub.

Adjusting the amount of rinse aid

If you are not completely satisfied with the drying results, you may adjust the quantity of rinse aid used. Use a screwdriver to turn the dosage adjuster (F) to one of the 6 pre-set positions (the default position is set to 4):

•If there are streaks on the crockery, set the adjustment device to a lower number (1-3).

•If drops of water remain on the crockery or if there are limescale marks present after the cycle has finished, set the adjuster to a higher number (4-6).

Setting the water hardness

Every dishwasher is equipped with a water softener which, by using refined salt designed especially for this type of appliance, supplies water without limescale which is then used to wash the crockery.

This dishwasher offers a setting which helps to reduce pollution and optimises washing performance in accordance with the water hardness level in your area. This information can be obtained from the organisation which supplies your household with water.

-Switch the machine off using the ON/OFF button and open the door.

-Set the SELECT WASH CYCLE knob first to wash cycle 5, then to wash cycle 1, then to wash cycle 5 again.

-Press the ON/OFF button; the wash cycle phase indicator

lights will flash. It is now possible to select the water hardness level. There is a water hardness level for every wash cycle: E.g.: wash cycle 1, water hardness level 1

wash cycle 2, water hardness level 2, etc. etc., up to a maximum of 5* levels.

(The default water softener setting is level 3).

- To exit the function, wait approximately 30 seconds or switch off the machine using the ON/OFF button.

Even if using multi-functional tablets, the salt dispenser should still be filled.

Water Hardness Table

°dH				°fH	mmol/l		level
0		6	0	10	0	1	1
6		11	11	20	1.1	2	2

17		34	31	60	3.1	6	4
34		50	61	90	6.1	9	5*

For values between 0°f and 10°f, we do not recommend the use of salt.

* this setting may cause a slight increase in the duration of the cycle.

(°dH = hardness measured in German degrees - °f = hardness measured in French degrees - mmol/l = millimoles per litre)

Measuring out the refined salt

In order to achieve the best possible results using a wash cycle, make sure that the dispenser is never empty. Refined salt removes limescale from the water, thus avoiding the formation of deposits on crockery.

The salt dispenser is located in the lower part of the dishwasher (see Description) and should be filled:

•When the green float* cannot be seen by simply looking at the cap of the salt dispenser.

•When the LOW SALT* indicator light on the control panel is illuminated;

1.Remove the lower rack and unscrew the container cap (anticlockwise).

2.The first time you do this: fill the

water tank right up to its edge.

3. Position the funnel* (see figure) and fill the salt container right up to its edge (this should hold approximately

1 kg); it is not unusual for a little water to leak out.

4. Remove the funnel* and wipe any salt residue away from the opening; rinse the cap under running water and then screw it on, the head facing downwards so as to let the water flow out of the four cracks which are arranged in a star shape on the lower part of the cap. (Salt cap with green float*)

It is advisable to perform this procedure every time you add salt to the container.

Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly, so that no detergent can get into the container during the wash cycle (this could damage the water softener beyond repair).

When necessary, measure out the salt before a wash cycle so that any saline solution which has leaked out of the salt dispenser is removed.

10	* Only available in selected models.

Care and maintenance

Shutting off the water and electricity
supplies
•	Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle to avoid
	leaks.
•	Always unplug the appliance when cleaning it and
	when performing maintenance work.
Cleaning the dishwasher
•	The external surfaces of the machine and the control
	panel may be cleaned using a non-abrasive cloth
	which has been dampened with water. Do not use
	solvents or abrasive products.
•	Any marks on the inside of the appliance may be
	removed using a cloth dampened with water and a
	little vinegar.
Preventing unpleasant odours
•	Always keep the door of the appliance ajar in order to
	avoid moisture from forming and being trapped inside
	the machine.
•	Clean the seals around the door and detergent
	dispensers regularly using a damp sponge. This will
	avoid food becoming trapped in the seals, which is
	the main cause behind the formation of unpleasant
	odours.

Cleaning the sprayer arms

Food residue may become encrusted onto the sprayer

arms and block the holes used to spray the water. It is

therefore recommended that the arms are checked from

time to time and cleaned with a small non-metallic

brush.

The two sprayer arms may both be removed.

To remove the upper sprayer

arm, rotate the locking ring in

an anti-clockwise direction.

The upper sprayer arm should

be replaced with the holes

facing upwards.

The lower sprayer arm can be removed by pressing on the side tabs and pulling it upwards.

Cleaning the water inlet filter* If the water hoses are new or have not been used for an extended period of time, let the water run to make sure it is clear and free of impurities before performing the necessary connections. If this precaution is not taken, the water inlet could become blocked and damage the dishwasher.

		Clean the water inlet filter at the tap outlet regularly.	EN
	- Turn off the water tap.

-Unscrew the end of the water inlet hose, remove the filter and clean it carefully under running water.

-Replace the filter and screw the water hose back into

position.

Cleaning the filters

The filter assembly consists of three filters which remove food residues from the washing water and then recirculate the water. They should be cleaned if you wish to achieve the best results in every wash.

Clean the filters regularly.

The dishwasher should not be used without filters, or if the filter is loose.

• After several washes, check the filter assembly and if necessary clean it thoroughly under running water, using a non-metallic brush and following the instructions below:

1.Turn the cylindrical filter C in an anti-clockwise direction and pull it out (fig. 1).

2.Remove the cup filter B by exerting a slight pressure on the side flaps (fig. 2).

3.Slide out the stainless steel plate filter A (fig. 3).

4.Inspect the trap and remove any food residue. NEVER REMOVE the wash cycle pump (black detail) (fig. 4).

Precautions, advice and Assistance

This appliance was designed and manufactured in EN compliance with current international safety standards. The

following information has been provided for safety reasons and should therefore be read carefully.

General safety

•The appliance was designed for domestic use inside the home and is not intended for commercial or industrial use.

•The appliance must be used by adults only, to wash domestic crockery in accordance with the instructions in this manual.

•The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even in covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the machine exposed to rain and storms.

•Do not touch the appliance when barefoot.

•When unplugging the appliance always pull the plug from the mains socket, do not pull on the cable.

•The water supply tap must be shut off and the plug should be removed from the electrical socket before cleaning the appliance or carrying out any maintenance work.

•If the appliance breaks down, do not under any circumstances touch the internal parts in an attempt to perform the repair work yourself.

•Never touch the heating element.

•Do not lean or sit on the open door of the appliance: this may cause the appliance to overturn.

•The door should not be left open as it may create a dangerous obstacle.

•Keep detergent and rinse aid out of reach of children.

•The packaging material should not be used as a toy.

•Select a wash cycle which is suited to the type of crockery and to the soil level of the crockery using the Table of wash cycles:

-For dishes with a normal soil level, use the Eco wash cycle, which guarantees low energy and water consumption levels.

-If the load is smaller than usual activate the Half load

option* (see Start-up and use).

•If your electricity supply contract gives details of electricity

saving time bands, run wash cycles during the periods when a lower tariff is applied. The Delayed start* button

(see Start-up and use) helps you organise the wash cycles accordingly.

Phosphate-free and chlorine-free detergents containing enzymes

•We strongly recommend that you use detergents that do not contain phosphates or chlorine, as these products are harmful to the environment.

•Enzymes provide a particularly effective action at temperatures around 50°C, and as a result detergents containing enzymes can be used in conjunction with lowtemperature wash cycles in order to achieve the same results as a normal 65°C wash cycle.

•To avoid wasting detergent, use the product in appropriate quantities based on the manufacturer’s recommendations, the hardness of the water and the soil level and quantity of crockery to be washed. Even if they are biodegradable, detergents contain substances which may alter the balance of nature.

Disposal

•Disposal of packaging materials: observe local legislation so that the packaging may be reused.

•The European Directive 2002/96/EC relating to Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states that household appliances should not be disposed of using the normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted appliances should be collected separately in order to optimise the cost of re-using and recycling the materials inside the machine, while preventing potential damage to the atmosphere and to public health. The crossed-out dustbin is marked on all products to remind the owner of their obligations regarding separated waste collection.

For further information relating to the correct disposal of household appliances, owners may contact the relevant public authority or the local appliance dealer.

Saving energy and respecting the environment

Saving water and energy

•Only begin a wash cycle when the dishwasher is full. While waiting for the dishwasher to be filled, prevent unpleasant odours using the Soak cycle (see Wash cycles).

Assistance

Before contacting Assistance:

•Check whether the problem can be resolved using the Troubleshooting guide (see Troubleshooting).

•Restart the programme to check whether the problem has ceased to exist.

•If the problem persists, contact the Authorised Technical Assistance Service.

Never use the services of unauthorised technicians.

Please have the following information to hand:

•The type of malfunction.

•The appliance model (Mod.).

•The serial number (S/N).

This information can be found on the appliance data plate (see Description of the appliance).

Installation

Conserver ce mode d’emploi pour pouvoir le consulter à tout moment. En cas de vente, de cession ou de déménagement, s’assurer qu’il accompagne bien l’appareil.

Lire attentivement les instructions : elles contiennent des conseils importants sur l’installation, l’utilisation

et la sécurité de l’appareil.

En cas de déménagement, transporter l’appareil verticalement; si besoin est, l’incliner sur le dos.

Mise en place et mise à niveau

1.Déballer l’appareil et s’assurer qu’il n’a pas été endommagé pendant le transport.

S’il est abîmé, ne pas le raccorder et contacter le revendeur.

2.Installer le lave-vaisselle de manière à ce que les côtés et la paroi arrière touchent aux meubles adjacents ou au mur. L’appareil peut être encastré sous un plan de travail continu*

(voir feuille de Montage).

3. Installer le lave-vaisselle sur un sol plat et rigide. Compenser les irrégularités en vissant ou en dévissant les pieds avant jusqu’à ce que l’horizontalité de l’appareil soit parfaite. Une bonne horizontalité garantit la stabilité de l’appareil et supprime tout risque de vibrations, bruits et déplacements.

4*. Pour régler la hauteur du pied arrière, agir sur la douille rouge à six pans située dans la partie avant du lave-vaisselle, en bas et au milieu, à l’aide d’une clé mâle à six pans, ouverture 8 mm. Tourner dans le sens des aiguilles d’une montre pour augmenter la hauteur et dans le sens inverse pour la diminuer. (consulter la notice d’instructions encastré jointe à la documentation)

Raccordements eau et électricité

L’adaptation des installations électriques et les travaux de plomberie de l’installation doivent être effectués par du personnel qualifié.

Le lave-vaisselle ne doit pas écraser les tuyaux ou le câble d’alimentation électrique.

Utiliser des tuyaux neufs pour effectuer le raccordement de l’appareil au réseau de distribution de l’eau.

Ne pas réutiliser les anciens tuyaux.

Les tuyaux d’amenée (A) et d’évacuation (B) de l’eau et le câble d’alimentation électrique peuvent être orientés vers la droite ou vers la gauche pour simplifier l’installation (voir figure).

.4

Raccord du tuyau d’amenée de l’eau

•A une prise d’eau froide : bien visser le tuyau d’amenée à un robinet à embout fileté 3/4 gaz; avant de visser, faire couler l’eau jusqu’à ce quelle devienne limpide et dépourvue d’impuretés qui pourraient engorger l’appareil.

•A une prise d’eau chaude : en cas d’installation de chauffage centralisé (radiateurs), le lave-vaisselle peut être alimenté avec de l’eau chaude de réseau ne dépassant pas 60°C.

Visser le tuyau au robinet en procédant comme pour la prise d’eau froide.

Si la longueur du tuyau d’amenée ne suffit pas, s’adresser à un magasin spécialisé ou à un technicien agréé (voir Assistance).

La pression de l’eau doit être comprise entre les valeurs reportées dans le tableau des Caractéristiques techniques (voir ci-contre).

Faire attention à ce que le tuyau ne soit ni plié ni écrasé.

Sécurité anti-fuite

Pour éviter tout risque d’inondation, le lave-vaisselle :

- est équipé d’un dispositif qui coupe l’arrivée de l’eau en cas d’anomalie ou de fuite à l’intérieur de l’appareil.

Quelques modèles sont équipés d’un dispositif de sécurité supplémentaire New Acqua Stop* qui garantit contre tout risque d’inondation même en cas de rupture du tuyau d’amenée de l’eau.

ATTENTION : TENSION DANGEREUSE!

Il ne faut en aucun cas couper le tuyau d’amenée de l’eau car il contient des parties sous tension.

* Présent uniquement sur certains modèles.

15

Raccord du tuyau d’évacuation de l’eau

.4

Raccorder le tuyau d’évacuation, sans le plier, à une conduite d’évacuation ayant au moins 4 cm de diamètre. Ou bien l’accrocher au bord d’un évier; l’extrémité libre du tuyau de vidange ne doit pas être plongée dans l’eau.

A

Un coude* plastique spécial facilite une installation optimale : fixer solidement le coude au mur pour éviter que le tuyau se déplace et déverse l’eau hors du conduit.

La portion de tuyau repérée par la lettre A doit se trouver à une distance du sol comprise entre 40 et 100 cm (voir figure).

L’utilisation de tuyaux de rallonge est déconseillée.

Raccordement électrique

Avant de brancher la fiche dans la prise de courant, s’assurer que :

•la prise dispose de mise à la terre et est conforme aux normes;

•la prise est bien apte à supporter la puissance maximale de l’appareil reportée sur la plaque signalétique fixée à la contre-porte (voir paragraphe Description du lavevaisselle);

•la tension d’alimentation est bien comprise entre les valeurs figurant sur la plaque signalétique de la contre-porte;

•la prise est bien compatible avec la fiche de l’appareil. Autrement, faire remplacer la fiche par un technicien agréé (voir Assistance); n’utiliser ni rallonges ni prises multiples.

Après installation de l’appareil, le câble d’alimentation électrique et la prise de courant doivent être facilement accessibles.

Le câble ne doit être ni plié ni trop écrasé.

Afin d’éviter tout danger, faire changer le cordon d’alimentation abîmé, par le fabricant ou par son service après-vente. (Voir Assistance)

Nous déclinons toute responsabilité en cas de nonrespect des normes énumérées ci-dessus.

Ruban anti-condensation*

Après avoir encastré le lave-vaisselle, ouvrir la porte et coller le ruban adhésif transparent sous le plan en bois pour le protéger contre la formation de condensation.

Conseils pour le premier lavage

Une fois l’installation terminée et tout de suite avant le premier lavage, remplir complètement d’eau le réservoir à sel et ajouter environ 1 kg de sel (voir Produit de rinçage et sel régénérant) : il est tout à fait normal que de l’eau déborde. Sélectionner le degré de dureté de l’eau (voir Produit de rinçage et sel régénérant). - Après remplissage du réservoir à sel, le voyant SEL* s'éteint.

Le manque de remplissage du réservoir à sel, peut endommager l'adoucisseur d'eau et l'élément chauffant.
