Safety Instructions

Please read the instructions in this booklet carefully because they contain important
information on how to install, use and maintain your dishwasher safely as well as
containing useful tips on how to make the most of it.
Keep this booklet safe for future reference.

There are certain basic safety rules which are valid for any domestic appliance. They
are the following:

- never touch the appliance when your hands or feet are wet or damp

- do not use when your feet are bare

- do not remove the plug from the mains supply socket by pulling the mains cable or
the machine itself

-do not leave the appliance exposed to the elements (rain, sun etc)

- do not let children (or others incapable of operating it) use the machine without
supervision

- make sure that the plug fitted to the machine is compatible with the power supply
socket. If it is not, get a suitably qualified person to fit the correct type, and to make
sure that the cables to the mains socket are able to cope with the power rating of
the appliance

- ensure that the dishwasher does not crush power cables

-if there is a water softening device installed in the home there is no need to add
salt to the water softener fitted in the dishwasher

- the dishwasher is designed for normal kitchen utensils.
Objects that have been contamined by petrol, paint, traces of steel or iron,
corrosive chemicals, acids or alkalis must not be washed in the dishwasher

- if you wish to dispose of an old dishwasher be careful to remove the door to
eliminate the risk of children becoming trapped inside it

- the dishwasher has been made from materials which can be recycled so that it can
be disposed of in an environmentally friendly way

- in general it is not advisable to use adaptors, multiple plugs and/or extension
cables

-Water left in the machine or on the dishes at the end of the wash programme
should not be swallowed.

- Leaning or sitting on the open door of the dishwasher could cause it to tip over.

- Cutlery is washed best if it is placed in the basket with the handles downwards;
however, to avoid any injury from blades or sharp points, it can be placed with the
handles upwards.

- Should it be necessary to replace the supply cord, call the Service Department.

- This appliance is designed for domestic use only.

If the appliance breaks down or stops working properly, switch it off, turn off the water
supply and do not tamper with it. Repair work should only be carried out by an
approved service agent and only genuine spare parts should be fitted. Any failure to
follow the above advice may have serious consequences for the safety of the appliance.

INSTALLATION (Technical notes)

After unpacking, adjust the height of the dishwasher.
For the dishwasher to work correctly it must be level.
Adjust the feet so that the machine does not tilt by more
than 2 degrees. If it you need to move the machine after
removing the packaging, do not try to lift it by the bottom
of the door. Follow the instructions in figure. Open the
door slightly and lift the machine by holding on the top.

Important: when the appliance is located on a
carpet floor, attention must be paid to ensure that
there is no obstruction to the bottom vents.
Make sure that the plug on the appliance remains
accessible after installation.

This appliance complies with Directives
89/336/EEC, 73/23/EEC and following changes.

Electrical connection

This appliance complies with all the international safety standards and is fitted with a
3 pin plug with earth connection to ensure complete earthing of the product.
In the absence of adequate earthing you will notice that when touching the metal
parts of your appliance an electrical dispersion can be felt due to the presence of a
radio interference suppressor.
Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply it is important to ensure:
– That the supply socket is properly earthed.
– That your electricity supply is capable of meeting the consumption requirements

listed on the rating plate of your appliance.

Important: manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damages due to
nonearthing of the machine.

Water connection

The inlet and drain hoses can be directed to left or right.

The dishwasher can be connected to either cold or hot water, as long as it is
no hotter than 60 °C.

Water pressure must be between 0,08 MPa and 0,8 MPa. If the pressure is below
the minimum consult our service department for advice.
The inlet hose must be connected to a tap so that the water supply can be cut off
when the machine is not in use (fig.1 B).
The dishwasher is fitted with 3/4" threaded connector (fig. 2).
Connect inlet hose A to water tap B with a 3/4" attachment making sure that it has
been properly tightened.
If it is necessary to lengthen the inlet pipe, an extension pipe can be fitted.
If limescale deposits or sand are present in the water, it is advisable to obtain the
appropriate filter, art. 9226085, from the Service Centre (fig. 3).

6

The filter D must be inserted between the tap B and the inlet hose A, remembering
to fit the washer C.
If the dishwasher is connected to new pipes or to pipes which have not been in use
for a long time run water through for a few minutes before connecting the inlet hose.
In this way no deposits of sand or rust will clog up the water inflow filter.

Connecting the outlet hose

The outlet hose should disharge into a standpipe, making sure that there are no kinks
(fig. 4).
The standpipe must be at least 40 cm above floor level and it must have an internal
diameter of at least 4 cm. It is advisable to fit an anti-odour air trap (fig. 4 x).
If necessary the outlet hose can be extended up to 2,6 m, provided that it is kept at
a maximum height of 85 cm above floor level.
The hose can be hooked over the side of the sink (it must not be immersed in water,
in order to prevent water from being syphoned back to the machine when this is in
operation) (fig. 4 y).
When installing the appliance under a worktop the hose pipe clamp must be attached
to the wall in the highest possible position under the worktop (fig. 4 z).
Check that there are no kinks in the inlet and outlet hoses.

Installation in fitted kitchens

Fitting between existing cabinets

The height of the dishwasher, 85 cm, has been designed in order to allow the machine
to be fitted between existing cabinets of the same height in modern fitted kitchens.
The feet can be adjusted so that correct height is reached.
The laminated top of the machine does not require any particular care since it is
heatproof, scratchproof and stainproof (fig. 5).
The work top can be easily adjusted to line it with the top of existing cabinets; this is
done by moving it by 5 mm each time up to a maximum of 25 mm.
To adjust it, unscrew the two screws at the back and fix the top in the position
required (fig. 6).

Underneath existing work top (when fitting beneath a work top)

In most modern fitted kitchens there is only one single work top under which cabinets
and electrical appliances are fitted.
In this case remove the work top of the dishwasher by unscrewing the screws under
the rear edge of the top (fig. 6).
The height will then be reduced to 82 cm, as scheduled by the International
Regulations (ISO) and the dishwasher will fit perfectly under the kitchen working top
(fig. 7).

Opening the door

Put your hand into the recess and push upwards.
If the machine comes open while it is working, an electrical safety device
automatically switches everything off.

For the machine to work properly, the door should not be opened while it is in
operation.

Regulating the water softener

The table below lists different degrees of water hardness with the corresponding setting
for the softener unit.

Closing the door

Place the baskets in the machine.
Make sure that both the spray arms are free to rotate and are not obstructed by
cutlery, crockery or pans. Close the door, pressing on it to make sure it is firmly shut.

Water softener unit

Depending on the source of the supply, water contains varying amounts of limestone
and minerals which are deposited on the dishes leaving whitish stains and marks.
The higher the level of these minerals present in the water, the harder the water is.
The dishwasher is fitted with a water softener unit which, through the use of special
regenerating salt, supplies softened water for washing the dishes. The softener unit
can treat water with a hardness of up to 60°fH (French grading) or 33°dH (German
grading) through five different settings.
The degree of hardness of your water can be obtained from your water supply
company.

- *The water softener unit is set in the fac­tory at level 2, as this is suitable for the
majority of users.
If your water is at level 0, you need not
use any regenerating salt, nor need you
make any adjustment, as your water is
soft.
According to the degree of hardness of
your water, regulate the softener unit in
the following way:

- remove the lower rack. Unscrew and
remove the cap from the salt dispenser
located in the bottom of the tub (Fig. A “1”);

-Turn the selector screw to the required
position with a screwdriver or a knife.

TYPE 1

TYPE 2

Loading the salt

The dishwasher is fitted with a softener which
clears the water of lime which could cause scale
and damage the dishwasher.
On the bottom of the machine there is a container
for the salt for regenerating the softener.
The filter medium of the softening plant must be
reactivated with dishwasher water softener
regenerating salt.
Other types of salt contain small quantities of
insoluble particles which over a long period of
time may affect and deteriorate the softener
performance.
To add salt, unscrew the cap of the container on

the bottom and then refill the container.
During this operation a little water will overflow; but keep adding salt until the container
is full. When the container is full, clean the thread of salt residue and retighten the
tap.
If the dishwasher is not required straightaway, set the Prewash programme so that
the salt solution which has overflowed is discharged from the washing tank.
The salt dispenser has a capacity of between 1.5 and 1.8 kg and, for efficient use of
the appliance, it should be refilled from time to time according to the regulation of the
water softener unit.

Important: it is necessary to add water until the container overflows. Only
install the dishwasher after completely filling the salt container.

Salt loading indicator

This model is provided with a blind cap. In this case, the salt level must be checked
periodically, according to the regulation of the water softener unit.

Important: the appearance of white stains on dishes is generally an important sign
that the salt container needs filling.

Loading dishes

To load dishes

For good wash performance remove any debris from the dishes (bones, tooth picks,
the remains of meat and vegetables) to avoid blocking the filters, water outlet and
washing arm nozzles and, as a result, reducing washing efficiency.
Try not to rinse the dishes before loading them into the dishwasher.
If saucepans and oven dishes are encrusted with the remains of burnt or roast food,
it is advisable to leave them to soak before washing.

Using the upper basket

The upper basket is provided with mobile racks hooked to the sides of the basket
which can be regulated in two positions: upright and lowered. In the lowered position
the racks may be used for tea and coffee cups, kitchen knives and ladles. Glasses
with stems may be safely hung on the ends of the racks.

Glasses, cups, saucers and dessert plates may be loaded under the racks.

Soup plates and ordinary plates may be loaded with the rack in the upright position.

Plates should be loaded vertically with the underside of the plate towards the back of
the dishwasher with a space between each plate to allow water to pass freely.

It is advisable to load plates of the same size together in order to utilize maximum
basket capacity.

Plates may be loaded in a single row (Fig. 1) or on both rows (Fig. 2).

It is advisable to load large plates (approx. 27 or more cm) slightly tilted towards the
rear to facilitate introduction of the basket into the machine.

Salad bowls and plastic bowls may also be loaded on the upper basket. It is advisa­ble to block these in place so that the jets of water do not make them overturn.

The upper basket has been designed to offer maximum flexibility in use and can be
loaded with up to 24 plates on two rows, up to 30 glasses on five rows or a mixed
load.

Using the lower basket

Saucepans, oven dishes, tureens, salad bowls, lids, serving dishes, dinner plates,
soup plates and ladles can be loaded on the lower basket.
Place the cutlery in the plastic cutlery holder with the handles pointing upwards.
Place the cutlery holder on the lower basket (fig. 3), making sure that the cutlery does
not get in the way of the rotating arms.

Information for the test laboratories.

General programme comparison

(see programmes selection)

Loading the detergent and the rinse aid.

Filling the detergent container

It is essential to use a detergent that is specifically designed for dishwashers
either in powder, liquid or tablet form.

Unsuitable detergents (like those for washing up by hand) do not contain the proper
ingredients for use in a dishwasher and stop the dishwasher from working correctly.

Ref. EN 50242 Standards:

1) Upper basket position: low

2) Normal load

3) Shine setting: 5

4) Amount of detergent:
– 3 gr for pre-wash
– 27 gr for wash.

Normal wash

The detergent container is inside the door
(fig. A “2”). If the lid of the container is closed
press the button to open.
At the end of every wash cycle the lid is
always open and ready for the next time the
dishwasher is used.
The amount of detergent to be used varies
according to how dirty the dishes are and on
the type of dishes to be washed.
We advise using 20-30 gr of detergent in the
wash section of detergent compartment (1).

After pouring the detergent into the
container close the lid.

Since not all detergents are the same the instructions on the boxes of detergent can
vary. We should just like to remind users that too little detergent does not clean the
dishes properly whilst too much detergent will not produce better results and is also
a waste. Do not use an excessive amount of detergent and help limit damage to the
environment at the same time.

Wash with soaking cycle (prewash)

If setting the Universal Intensive wash programme, a second dose of about 20 gr
of detergent (1 table-spoon) must be added to the machine in the prewash section of
detergent compartment (2).

FULL EMPTY

dark light

If you select a programme with a prewash cycle, the performance will be improved by
adding a small amount of detergent during this part of the cycle.

CAUTION! IMPORTANT NOTE ON THE USE OF COMBINED DETERGENTS

If you are planning to use combined detergents i.e. those with built in salt and/or rinse
agent, we would advise the following:

- read carefully and follow the manufacturer’s instructions given on the packaging;

- some combined detergents, particularly those with built in rinse agent, provide best
results when used with specific programmes;

- the effectiveness of detergents containing the built in water softener/salt depends on
the hardness of your water supply. Check that the hardness of your water supply is
within the effective range given on the detergent packaging.

In certain circumstances use of combined detergents can cause:

- limescale deposits on dishes or in the dishwasher;

- a reduction in washing and drying performance.

Should this occur, we would recommend using traditional separate products – salt,
detergent and rinse agent. This will ensure that the water softener in the dishwasher
operates correctly.
Please note that on return to the use of conventional salt, a number of cycles will be
required before the system becomes fully efficient again.

NOTE
Any problems which arise as a direct result of the use of these products are not
covered by our warranty.

15

Filling the rinse aid container

The rinse aid container can be found to the right of the
detergent container: it has a capacity of about 130 ml
(fig. A "3").
Turn the cap (3) anticlockwise and pour enough liquid to last
several washes, up to the maximum level shown. Replace
the cap.
The rinse aid, which is automatically released during the
last rinsing cycle, helps the dishes to dry quickly and
prevents spots and stains forming.
It is always advisable to use rinse aid.
Check the rinse aid level through the indicator eye which is
situated in the centre of the dispenser (4).

Regulating the rinse aid from 1 to 6

The regulator is placed under the cap (3) and can be
turned using a coin. The recommended position is 3.
The limestone content of the water considerably affects the
formation of limescale and the drying performance.
It is therefore important to regulate the quantity of rinse
aid to achieve good washing results.
If, after the wash, streaks occur on the dishes, decrease
the amount by one position. If whitish spots occur, increase
the amount by one position.

Practical hints

Selecting the programme

This dishwasher offers you a wide range of wash programmes so that you can choose
the most suitable according to the type of dishes and how dirty they are.
Refer to the PROGRAMME LIST to choose the most suitable programme.

Useful hints

In order to avoid any dripping from the top rack, remove the lower rack first.
If the dishes are to be left in the machine for some time, leave the door ajar, to let
some air circulate and to improve the drying performance.

How to make SAVINGS

1) If you want the dishwasher to give a complete wash, place the dishes in the
dishwasher at the end of each meal and if necessary turn on the COLD PRE-WASH
cycle to soften the food remains and remove bigger particles of food from the new
load of dishes. When the dishwasher is full start the complete wash cycle programme.

2) If the dishes are not very dirty or if the baskets are not very full select an
ECONOMY programme, following the instructions in the program list.

How to get really good wash RESULTS

1) Place the dishes face downwards.

2) Try to place the dishes in such a way that they are not touching one another. If
they are loaded properly you will get better results.

3) Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher remove any remaining food (bones,
shells, pieces of meat or vegetables, coffee grounds, skin of fruit, cigarette ash etc.
that could clog up the outflow and the washing arm jets.

4) After loading the dishes check that the washing arms can rotate freely.

5) Pans and other dishes that have particularly stubborn food particles or remnants
of burnt food should be left to soak in water with dishwasher detergent.

6) To wash silver properly:
a) rinse the silver immediately after use, especially if it has been used for mayonnaise,
eggs, fish etc.
b) do not sprinkle detergent onto it
c) keep it separate from other metals

What to DO if

1) You want to stop the dishwasher to put in more dishes whilst it is in the middle of
a wash.
Open the door only after pressing the O/I button so that the dishwasher is in OFF.
After closing the door, wait 3 minutes before starting up the machine again.

What not to wash

It should also be remembered that not all dishes are suitable for washing in a
dishwasher.
We advise against using the dishwasher to wash items in thermoplastic, cutlery with
wooden or plastic handles, saucepans with wooden handles, items in aluminium,
crystal, leaded glass unless otherwise stated.
Certain decorations may fade. It is therefore a good idea before loading the whole
batch to wash just one of the items first so as to be sure that others like it will not fade.
It is also a good idea not to put silver cutlery with non-stainless steel handles into the
dishwasher as there could be a chemical reaction between them.

IMPORTANT

When buying new crockery or cutlery always make sure that they are suitable for
washing in a dishwasher.

16

The filter system (fig.A “4”) consists of:
a central container that traps the larger
particles.
a flat gauze that continuously filters the
wash water
a micro filter, located beneath the gauze,
that traps the tiniest particles ensuring a
perfect rinse.

To achieve excellent results every time, the
filters should be checked and cleaned after
each wash.
To remove the filter unit, simply turn the
handle anticlockwise (fig. 1).
For ease of cleaning, the central container is
removable (fig. 2).
Remove the gauze filter (fig.3) and wash the
whole unit under a jet of water. If necessary
a small brush can be used.
With the Self-cleaning Micro filter, mainte­nance is reduced and the filter unit need only
be checked every two weeks. Nevertheless,
after each wash it is advisable to check that
the central container and the gauze filter are
not clogged.

NB: after cleaning the filters, make sure
that they are correctly reassembled and
that the gauze filter is properly positioned
at the bottom of the dishwasher.
Make sure that the filter is screwed back,
clockwise, into the gauze, as poor
seating of the filter unit could have an
adverse effect on the efficiency of the
appliance.

Warning: never use the dishwasher
without the filters.

The water heater element is made of a special stainless steel which after a while may
change colour; this does not in any way affect its performance or its working life.
Both the door lining and the tank lining are in stainless steel; however, should spots
caused by oxidation occur, this is probably due to a high level of iron salts presents
in the water. The spots can be removed with a mild abrasive agent; never use
chlorine based materials, steel wool, etc.

WHEN CYCLE IS FINISHED

After every wash it is essential to turn off water supply and to switch off the machine
by pressing the On/Off button to the off position. If the machine is not going to be
used for some time, it is advisable to follow these rules:

1. do an empty wash with detergent in order to clean the machine of any deposits.

2. pull out the electric plug.

3. turn off the water tap.

4. fill the rinse aid container.

5. Ieave the door ajar.

6. Keep the inside of the machine clean.

7. If the machine is left in places where the temperature is below 0°C any water left
inside the pipes may freeze. Wait until the temperature rises above zero and then
wait for about 24 hours before starting up the dishwasher.

18

Cleaning and maintenance

The outside of the cabinet can be cleaned with a non-abrasive cleaning agent
suitable for a gloss finish.
The dishwasher does not require special maintenance, because the tank is self­cleaning. Regularly wipe the door gasket with a damp cloth to remove any food
remains or rinse aid. It is advisable to remove limestone deposits or dirt periodically,
by doing an empty wash; pour a glass of vinegar on the bottom of the tank and select
the light wash.

If, in spite of the routine cleaning of the filters, you notice that the dishes or pans are
not properly washed or rinsed, check that all the spray heads on the rotor arms
(fig. A “5”) are clear.
If they are blocked, clean them in the following way:

To remove the upper rotor arm, turn it until it lines up with the stop marked by the
arrow (fig. 1b). Push it upwards and, keeping it pushed in, unscrew it in a clockwise
direction. To reassemble it repeat the same operation, but turn it anticlockwise.
The lower rotor arm can be removed simply by pulling it upwards (fig. 2).

• wash the rotor arms under a jet of water to clear any blockage in the spray heads.

• When you have finished, refit the rotor arms in the same position, remembering to
re-align the arrow and screw into position.

Attention

This dishwasher is equipped with an anti-overflow safety device
which works even when power is switched off, and if the water
level is too high the supply will automatically be closed off.

Important

To ensure the correct operation of the anti-overflow safety
device, it is recommended not to move or to tilt the dishwasher
during operation.
If it is necessary to move or to tilt the dishwasher, first make
sure the washing cycle is finished and that no water is left in
the tank.

To set the programme, turn the dial clockwise until the pointer
( ) indicates the symbol of the required programme on the
control panel. Then press the On/Off button. Ensure that the
water supply is turned on and the door is closed properly.

N.B.: Should any of the situations occur and should the machine give a bad wash performance, it is
necessary to remove the deposits from the dishes by hand since the final drying cycle hardens the
deposits which a second wash in the machine would not be able to remove.

If the malfunction continues contact a Service Centre quoting the serial number of the dishwasher.
This is found on the plaque on the inside of the dishwasher door at the top or on the guarantee.
This information will make it possible to take more effective action more quickly.

The manufacturers decline any responsability for any printing mistakes in this instruction booklet. They also reserve the right to modify their
own appliances as necessary without altering the essential characteristics.

INSTALACION (NOTAS TÉCNICAS)

Después del desembalaje, proceder a la regulación en
altura del lavavajillas.
Para un correcto funcionamiento es importante que el
lavavajillas esté bien nivelado, regulando los pies de
forma que una eventual inclinación del aparato no
supere los 2 grados.
En caso de que fuera necesario transportar manualmente
la máquina desembalada, no coger la puerta por la parte
inferior, proceder como en la figura; abrir ligeramente la
puerta y elevar la máquina cogiéndola por la parte superior.

Si se va a instalar el aparato sobre una alfombra o

moqueta, es necesario tener cuidado para evitar que se
obstruyan las rejillas de ventilación situadas en la base del lavavajillas.
Asegurese de poder acceder al enchufe del aparato incluso despues de la instalacion.

Alimentación eléctrica

El aparato cumple las normas de seguridad de la CEE y está provisto de clavija
tripolar que asegura su completa puesta a tierra. La completa seguridad depende
también de la correcta puesta a tierra de la instalación eléctrica de la casa.
La falta de una buena instalación puede provocar una leve difusión de corriente a
través de las partes metálicas del lavavajillas debido a la presencia del filtro anti
radiointerferencias.
En consecuencia, antes de conectar eléctricamente el lavavajillas, verificar:

1. Que la toma tenga una correcta conexión a tierra.

2. Que la capacidad amperimétrica del contador eléctrico sea apta para la absorción
indicada en los datos de la placa del lavavajillas.
La firma fabricante no se responsabiliza de posibles daños a personas o cosas,
producidos por la falta de conexión de la toma de tierra.

Estos aparatos cumplen con las Directivas EEC 89/336, EEC 73/23 y
modificaciónes siguientes.

Alimentación hidráulica

Los tubos de carga y descarga pueden ser orientados indistintamente hacia la
derecha o la izquierda.

El lavavajillas puede ser conectado a la instalación de agua fría o caliente,
siempre que ésta no supere a los 60°C.

La presíon hidráulica debe estar comprendida entre un mínimo de 0,08 MPa y un
máximo de 0,8 MPa. Para presiones inferiores diríjarse al Centro de Asistencia.
Es necesario un grifo en el extremo del tubo de carga para aislar la máquina de la
red cuando no está en funcionamiento (fig. 1) El lavavajillas está dotado de un tubo
para la toma de agua que acaba en un codo de 3/4" (fig. 2). Si es necesario, alar­gue el tubo de carga, utilice el alargo Art. 9225014 de 1,5 m de longitud.
El tubo entrada agua "A" debe ser enroscado a un grifo o toma de agua "B" de rosca
3/4", asegurándose que la tuerca esté bien apretada.
Si el agua de la red presentase resíduos calcáreos o arenilla, es aconsejable
colocar un filtro como accesorio. Este filtro "D" va colocado entre la toma de agua

Instalación en cocinas modulares

Acoplamiento

El lavavajillas tiene la altura modular de 85 cm y por consiguiente puede ser
acoplado a los muebles de las modernas cocinas modulares de análoga altura. Para
una perfecta alineación, maniobrar en los pies regulables.
La tapa superior es de laminado de alta resistencia que puede utilizarse sin
ninguna particular precaución ya que es resistente al calor, a la abrasión y es
anti-manchas (fig. 5).
La profundidad de la tapa superior se puede regular facilmente hasta 25 mm para
alinearlo al plano de los muebles adyacentes.
Para su regulación, destornillar los 2 tornillos posteriores y fijarlos en la posición
deseada (fig. 6).

Encastre (Para su colocación debajo de la encimera)

Las cocinas modulares más modernas tienen un plano de trabajo único, bajo el que
son encastrados los muebles y los electrodomésticos. En este caso basta quitar la
tapa superior, sacando los tornillos que se encuentran bajo el mismo en la parte
posterior (fig. 6).
La altura se reduce de esta forma a 82 cm, tal como está previsto en las Normas
Internacionales (ISO) y el lavavajillas se encastra perfectamente bajo el plano
contínuo de la cocina (fig. 7).

Apertura de la puerta

Introducir la mano en la cavidad de apertura y presionar hacia arriba.
Si la puerta se abre durante el funcionamiento de la máquina, un sistema de
seguridad eléctrico hace que todas las funciones se interrumpan automáticamente.

Evitar abrir la puerta del lavavajillas mientras éste funcione.

de 3/4" "B" y el tubo de entrada "A". No olvidar de colocar la guarnición "C".
Si la máquina va a ser conectada a una nueva instalación o a una instalación que
ha estado inutilizada por largo tiempo, es aconsejable dejar correr el agua algunos
minutos antes de colocar el tubo de entrada de agua. De esta manera, se evitará
que los residuos materiales o de óxido depositados en la tubería obturen el filtro de
entrada agua.

Instalación salida de agua

Colocar el tubo en la instalación de salida, evitando pliegues o arrugas (fig. 4).
El tubo de desague fijo debe tener un diámetro interior de al menos 4 cm, y debe
estar colocado a una altura mínima de 40 cm Se recomienda colocar un sifón
contra malos olores (fig. 4 x).
Si fuera necesario, se puede alargar el tubo de salida hasta 2,6 m, pero
manteniéndolo siempre a una altura máxima de 85 cm del suelo.
Utilizar alargo Art. 9269214 y codo Art. 9264427.
La extremidad curvada del tubo puede ser apoyada en el borde de un lavadero
(el extremo no debe permanecer inmerso en el agua, para evitar efectos de sifón
durante el lavado. Fig. 4 y).
En el caso de una instalación bajo un plano continuo, la curva debe ser fijada
inmediatamente debajo del citado plano, en el punto más alto posible (figura 4 z).
Al instalar la máquina, debe controlarse que los tubos de carga y descarga no estén
doblados.

Cargar la sal

El lavavajillas está provisto de un descalcifica­dor que depura el agua de la cal que podría
inscrustarse y dañarlo.
En la parte inferior de la máquina esta situado el
depósito de la sal. La sal sirve para regenerar el
aparato descalcificador.
La masa filtrante del sistema de depuración
debe ser reactivada con sal de "regeneración"
para descalcificadores de lavavajillas.Otros
tipos de sal contienen sensibles porcentajes de
sustancias insolubles que con el tiempo podrían
hacer ineficiente la instalación de descalcificación.

Para la introducción de la sal, desenroscar el tapón del depósito que se encuentra
en la parte inferior. Después llenar el depósito.
Durante esta operación saldrá un poco de agua, aun así continue echando sal hasta
llenarlo. Una vez lleno, limpiar la rosca de granos de sal y roscar el tapón. Si no debe
efectuarse a continuación ningún lavado, colocar el programa Prelavado frio para
que la solución salina derramada se desagüe. El contenedor tiene una capacidad de
cerca de 1,5-1,8 kg de sal y, para una eficaz utilización del aparato, es necesario
rellenarlo periódicamente según la regulación del nivel de descalcificación elegido.

Importante:Después de haber instalado el lavavajillas, y haber llenado
el depósito de sal, es necesario añadir agua hasta llenar completamente
el deposito. Esta operación solo es preciso realizarla la primera vez.

33

Indicador del llenado de sal

Este modelo está dotado de tapón ciego, en tal caso, es oportuno controlar periódica­mente el nivel de sal, según la regulación del nivel de descalcificación elegido.

Importante: la aparición de manchas blanquecinas en la vajilla es generalmente un
índice importante de falta de sal.

Regulación descalcificación del agua con
el descalcificador

En la siguiente tabla encontrará la correspondencia entre la dureza del agua de la red
a tratar y el nivel de regulación del descalcificador.

32

Para cerrar la puerta

Introducir los cestos.
Verificar que todas las aspas de lavado puedan girar y no hayan cubiertos,
cacerolas o platos que impidan su rotación.
Cerrar la puerta y presionar con fuerza hasta el cierre del dispositivo de seguridad.

Sistema de regulación de la descalcificación
del agua

El agua contiene de forma variable, según la localidad, sales calcáreas y minerales
que se depositan en la vajilla dejando manchas blanquecinas.
Cuanto más elevado sea el contenido de estas sales, mayor es la dureza del agua.

El lavavajillas contiene un descalcificador que, utilizando sales regenerantes
especiales para lavavajillas, permite lavar la vajilla con agua sin agentes clacáreos.

El descalcificador puede tratar agua con una dureza hasta 60° fH (grados franceses)
33° dH (grados alemanes) a través de cinco niveles de regulación.

Puede solicitar el grado de dureza de su agua al Ente distribuidor de su zona.

Colocar la vajilla

Colocación de la vajilla

Para garantizar plenamente un óptimo resultado en el lavado, conviene quitar pri­mero los residuos de comida más grandes (huesos, espinas, palillos, trozos de
carne o verduras, pieles de fruta, etc.) de la vajilla para evitar que se atasquen los
filtros, el desague y los rociadores de los brazos de lavado, con la consiguiente
disminución en la eficacia del lavado.
Evitar enjuagar la vajilla antes de colocarla en la máquina.
En caso de residuos de comida quemados o asados muy incrustados, en cacerolas
y sartenes, se aconseja ponerlas en remojo antes del lavado.

Uso del cesto superior

El cesto superior esta dotado de unos soportes móviles fijados al panel lateral, y que
pueden adoptar dos posiciones: levantada y bajada. En posición bajada los soportes
sirven para poner tazas de té, café, cuchillos largos y cucharones. En los extremos
de tales soportes se pueden colgar los vasos con forma de copa.
Por debajo de ellos, se pueden poner los vasos pequeños, tazas, los platos de las
tazas y los de postre.
En posición levantada, los soportes permiten el alojamiento de los platos llanos y
hondos.
Estos ultimos se colocan en posición vertical con el lado cóncavo dirigido hacia el
interior, y dejando siempre un espacio entre plato y plato para que el agua pueda
pasar sin dificultad.
Para aprovechar al máximo la capacidad del cesto se aconseja reagrupar los platos
que sean iguales. Los platos pueden colocarse en una sola fila (fig. 1), o en las dos
(fig. 2).
Es aconsejable colocar los platos grandes, con un diámetro de unos 270 mm, un
poco inclinados hacia el interior y así poder meter el cesto sin problemas.
En el cesto superior pueden colocarse también elementos como ensaladeras y
cuencos de plástico, que se recomienda fijar para que no se den la vuelta con la
presión de los chorros de agua.
El cesto superior ha sido estudiado para poder ofrecer la máxima flexibilidad de uso.
Éste puede llenarse únicamente con platos, colocados en doble fila hasta un
máximo de 24 piezas, únicamente con vasos, en cinco filas hasta un máximo de 30
piezas, o bien con una carga mixta.

Uso del cesto inferior

En el cesto inferior se colocan las cacerolas, sartenes, soperas, ensaladeras, tapas,
fuentes, platos planos, platos hondos y cucharones.
Los cubiertos se colocarán con el mango hacia abajo en el depósito contenedor de
plástico que después se introducirá en el cesto inferior (fig. 3) asegurándose que no
bloqueen la rotación del rociador.

Información para laboratorios de prueba

Programa comparativo general

(ver tabla programas de lavado)

Carga de detergente y abrillantador

Carga del detergente

Es indispensable utilizar un detergente específico en polvo, líquido o en
pastillas para el lavado de vajillas. No deben emplearse detergentes para el

lavado de la ropa. Detergentes no idóneos (como los de uso para lavado a mano),
no contienen los ingredientes adaptados al lavado en lavavajillas e impiden el
correcto funcionamiento de la máquina.

Según normas EN 50242:

1) Posición cesto superior: baja

2) Carga normalizada

3) Posición regulador abrillantador 5

4) Cantidad detergente:

– 3 gr para el prelavado
– 27 gr para el lavado.

Lavado normal

La caja para el detergente de lavado está
situada en el interior de la puerta (fig. A "2").
Si la tapa del contenedor resultase cerrada,
para abrirla basta accionar sobre el pulsante
de enganche: al término de cualquier
programa de lavado la puerta debe estar
siempre abierta, y lista para su sucesiva
utilización.
La dosis de detergente puede variar en fun­ción del grado de suciedad y tipo de vajilla.
Nosotros le aconsejamos utilizar de 20 ÷ 30
gr de detergente en la cubeta lavado (1).

Después de haber vertido el detergente en
el contenedor volver a cerrar la puerta.

Puesto que los detergentes no son todos
iguales, consulte las instrucciones del fabricante.

Recordamos que una cantidad insuficiente de detergente provoca una incompleta
eliminación de la suciedad, mientras, un exceso de detergente, no sólo no mejora el
resultado del lavado, sino además, representa un despilfarro.

No excederse en el uso de detergente representa una contribución al
mantenimiento del medio ambiente.

Lavado con suavizante

En caso de programa UNIVERSAL INTENSIVO, hay que añadir en la máquina una
segunda dosis de detergente, unos 20 gramos (1 cucharada sopera) en la cubeta
prelavado (2).

39

Carga del abrillantador

A la derecha del recipiente detergente se encuentra el del
abrillantador para el aclarado cuya capacidad es de 130 ml
aproximadamente (fig. A "3"). Haga rodar el tapón (3) en
sentido antihorario y vierta el líquido, que servirà para
numerosos lavados, hasta el nivel máximo indicado. Cierre
nuevamente el tapón.
Este aditivo se introduce automáticamente en la última fase
del aclarado y favorece un rápido secado de la vajilla
evitando que se formen manchas o sedimentos opacos.
Utilizar siempre aditivos especiales para lavavajillas automáticos.
Es posible controlar el nivel del abrillantador por medio del
visualizador óptico situado entre del distribuidor (4).

Regulación del abrillantador de 1 a 6

El regulador está situado bajo el tapón (3) y se puede
manipular con una moneda.
Se aconseja la posición 3.
El contenido calcáreo del agua repercute notablemente tanto
en la formación de incrustaciones como en el grado de secado.
Es muy importante regular la dosificación del abrillantador
para conseguir óptimos resultados.
En caso de que la vajilla presente estrías al finalizar el lavado,
disminuir la dosis en una posición. Si la vajilla presenta
manchas o rastros blanquecinos, aumentarla un poco.

Cuando se elija un programa con prelavado, las prestaciones pueden ser mejoradas añadiendo
detergente, aún en cantidad mínima, en esta fase.

ATENCIÓN!
ADVERTENCIA IMPORTANTE PARA EL USO DE DETERGENTES COMBINADOS

Si decide utililizar detergentes combinados que pudiera dar como resultado un menor consumo de
sal o abrillantador, se deben respetar las siguientes advertencias:

-leer atentamente y abstenerse escrupulosamente a las instrucciones de uso y a las advertencias
indicadas en el envase del detergente combinado que se va a utilizar;

- algunos productos combinados, y en particular los que contienen abrillantador, poseen una
eficacia óptima sólo cuando se utilizan determinados programas;

- la eficacia de los productos que dan lugar a la no necesaria utilización de sal, dependen de la
dureza del agua de alimentación del aparato. Verificar que la dureza del agua se compensa con el
intervalo de funcionamiento indicado en el paquete del detergente.

La utilización inadecuada de estos productos podría llevar a:

- formación de depositos calcáreos en el aparato y vajilla;

- una empeoramiento del grado de secado y/o lavado.

En el caso en el que se verifiquen problemas de lavado y/o secado, se aconseja que continúe con
productos tradicionales (sal, abrillantador, detergente en polvo). Volviendo a la utilización de sal de
tipo tradicional, seran necesarios algunos ciclos de lavado antes de que el sistema de descalcificación
del agua vuelva a funcionar de manera óptima.

ATENCIÓN!
En el caso de reclamaciones que puedan estar ligadas a la utilización imprópia de estos
productos, no serán validas las prestaciones especificadas en la garantia.
