Important Safety Instructions
Your safety and that of your children
WARNING -When using your dishwasher follow basic precautions including the following:
Read all instructions before using your new
dishwasher. Ariston dishwashers are providing two
manuals:one Installation Instruction manual and
one Care and Use manual. Read them carefully
and save them for future references.
Use the dishwasher only for household use and
for its intended function.
Use only detergents or wetting agents
recommended for use in a dishwasher and keep
them out of the reach of children.
When loading items to be washed:
a) locate sharp items so that they are not likely
to damage the door seal; and
b) load sharp knives with the handles up to
reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.
Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked
dishwasher safe or the equivalent. For plastic
items not so marked check the manufacturers
recommendations.
Do not operate your dishwasher unless all
enclosure panels are properly in place.
Do not tamper with controls.
Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish
rack of the dishwasher.
Do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher
to avoid risk of injury.
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be
produced in a hot water system that has not been
used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS
EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been
used for such a period, before using the dishwasher
turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow
from each for several minutes. This will release any
accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable,
do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
Remove the door to the washing compartment when
removing an old dishwasher from service or
discarding it.
Dishwashers must be electrically grounded. Read the
Installation Instructions for details.
Do not run the dishwasher while you are out of home.
A qualified technician should do all repair work.
Do not touch the heating element during or
immediately after use

How to load your dishes
Before washing, a few small steps can help you get a better wash and keep your dishwasher performing to its best.
Remove the largest scraps of food left over on your plates, soak saucepans and frying pans with tough baked on food.
After loading your dishes, make sure the blades on the sprayer arm turn well.Do not place glasses and cups on top of
one another, and make sure the dishes are not touching.
First.
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
efficiency of the wash.If the
saucepans and frying pans are
very dirty, allow them to soak
before being washed. To make it
easier to load your dishes, pull
the racks out.
What goes into the lower
rack?
We recommend you place the
most difficult dishes to wash into
the lower rack: saucepans, lids,
soup bowls and plates (a load
example is shown in the photo).
Serving dishes and large
lids: place them on the sides
of the rack.
Saucepans, salad bowls:
must always be placed
upside down
Very deep dishes: place
them obliquely, thus allowing
water to run down them and
cleaning them better
The cutlery basket can be split
up by pulling out the handle and
removing the clips that keeps the
two parts joined together.
When you only have little cutlery
to wash, you can use just half the
basket; save space for other
crockery or place the other half
of the basket in the upper rack
instead (see figures A and B).
In this specific model, the cutlery
basket is fitted with two
detachable side compartments,
as shown in figure A1, which can
be hooked on either to the upper
or lower rack, as required.
What goes into the upper
rack?
Place delicate and lightweight
dishes in the upper rack: glasses,
tea cups and coffee cups,
saucers - but plates too - shallow
salad bowls, slightly dirty frying
pans and shallow pans.
Position light weight dishes in
such a way as to avoid their
being moved by the spray of
water.
The appliance can also be
equipped with one or two tip-up
compartments onto which you
can place mugs and cups, as well
as long sharp knives and serving
cutlery.
After loading the dishes,
remember to check that the
blades on the sprayer arms can
turn freely without hitting against
any dishes.
How to adjust the top rack.
The upper rack can be set in high
or low position to enable you to
organize your dishes effortlessly.
C
There are two handles on the
sides of the upper rack: use
these to adjust its height (see
fig. C)

How to use our racks

This basket is equipped with two
removable grids: insert the
cutlery one by one into the slots.
Warning:
knives and utensils with sharp
blades or tips should be
positioned with the sharp parts at
the bottom.

they don't touch.

Never without salt
Water in your home
Water hardness varies according to where you live. If the water in your home is hard you have the possibility to
add salt in order to soften your water. The softer the water the better will be your washing and drying results.
Loading the salt.
You can use special water
softening salt or normal rock salt.
The salt container is situated
underneath the lower rack, fill it
up as follows:
1. Pull out the lower rack
completely, unscrew and
remove the container cap
2. Is it the first time you load the
salt? First fill the container up
with water (you won't have to
do this again next time)
3. Put the dishwasher funnel on
the hole and pour in
approximately 70 oz. of salt.
It is normal that some water
comes out of the container.
4. Screw the cap back in place
carefully.
When should I load the
salt?
The salt container must be filled
when the softener indicator light
"S" comes on.
Once you have loaded the salt for
the first time, it is normal that the
low salt indicator light stays on or
flashes for 5 consecutive cycles.
Intelligent salt.
Your dishwasher can adjust its
salt consumption according to the
hardness of the water in your
home. This way, you can optimise
and customise your dishwasher's
salt consumption (not too much,
nor too little).
To adjust salt consumption, do as
follows:
1. Unscrew the salt container
cap
2. There is an arrow on the neck
of the container (see figure):
if necessary, turn the arrow
anti-clockwise from the "-"
setting to the "+" setting.
Select the arrow position
depending on the water
hardness, referring to the table
provided.
