SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

There are certain basic safety rules which are valid for any domestic appliance.

Installation

■ 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.

■ In general it is not advisable to use adaptors, multiple plugs and/or extension cables.

■ Should it be necessary to replace the supply cord, call the After Sales Service Centre.

Safety

■ 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).

■ This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

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

■ The door should not be left in the open position since this could present a potential hazard ( es. tripping ).

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

WARNING ! Knives and other utensils with sharp points must be loaded in the basket with their points down or placed in a horizontal position.

Daily use

■ This appliance is be designed for domestic use only.

■ 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 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.

■ Cutlery is washed best if it is placed in the basket with the handles downwards.

■ 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.

Disposal

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

■ 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.

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 the figure below. 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.

Electrical connection

This appliance complies with international safety standards, and is fitted with a 3 pin plug with earth connection to ensure complete earthing of the product.

Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply it is important to ensure:

1. that the supply socket is properly

earthed;

2. that your electricity supply is capable of

meeting the consumption requirements listed on the rating plate of your appliance.

WARNING! Ensure that your product is properly earthed.

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.

Manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage due to non-earthing of the machine.

Appliance complies with European Directives 73/23/EEC and 89/336/EEC, replaced by 2006/95/EC and 2004/108/EC, and subsequent amendments.

Electrical connection (for U.K. only)

Plug your dishwasher into the power socket.

If the plug we supply does not fit :

■ CUT IT OFF AND DESTROY IT!

You can't use it on other appliances, and the exposed wires could be dangerous if anyone plugged it in.

■ Fit a suitable plug, as follows:

Connect to the terminal in the plug

Marked with the letter E, OR marked with the Earth

Green and

yellow wire

symbol,

OR coloured green, OR coloured green and

yellow. Marked N,

OR coloured black.

WARNING!

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

Fuses and plugs

This appliance should be used only on a socket with a minimum rating of 13 Amp.

Our ready-fitted plug is already equipped with a 13 amp fuse which is BS 1362 ASTA approved.

Any replacement should be exactly the same.

If the fuse cover is lost, do not use the plug until it is replaced.

A correct replacement fuse cover (obtainable from your dealer or Electricity board) must be the same colour as shown or named on the insert on the base of the plug.

Water connection

IMPORTANT The appliance must be connected to the water mains using new hose-sets. The old hose-sets should not be reused.

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

IMPORTANT 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).

Brown wire

Marked L,

OR coloured red.

■ 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, the inlet pipe can be lengthened up to 2,5 m. The extension pipe is available from the After Sales Service Centre.

■ If limescale deposits or sand are present in the water, it is advisable to obtain the appropriate filter, art. 9226085, from the After Sales Service Centre (fig. 3). 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. 4X).

■ If necessary the outlet hose can be extended up to 2,5 m, provided that it is kept at a maximum height of 85 cm above floor level. The extension pipe is available from the After Sales Service Centre.

■ The hose can be hooked over the side of the sink, but 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. 4Y).

■ 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. 4Z).

■ 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).

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. 6a).

IMPORTANT After removing the work top, the screws MUST BE screwed again under the rear edge of the top (fig. 6b).

■ 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 pull. If the machine comes open while it is working, an electrical safety device automatically switches everything off.

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

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 degree of hardness of your water can be obtained from your water supply company.

Regulating the water softener

The softener unit can treat water with a hardness of up to 90°fH (French grading) or 50°dH (German grading) through 6 different settings.

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

LOADING THE SALT

■ On the bottom of the machine there is a container for the salt for regenerating the softener.

■ It is important to use only a salt that is specifically designed for dishwasher. 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.

■ After loading the salt, it is recommended running a complete washing cycle, or COLD RINSE programme. 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

(Only for first start up) When the appliance is used for the first time, after completely filling the salt container, it is necessary to add water until the container overflows.

Salt loading indicator

This model is provided with an indicator light on the control panel which will light up when it is necessary to reload the salt container.

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

ADJUSTMENT OF THE UPPER BASKET

If 27 cm to 31 cm plates are normally used, load them onto the lower basket after the upper basket has been placed in its upper position and proceed as detailed below:

1. Turn the front stops “A” outwards;

2. Take out the basket and remount it in the

upper position;

3. Replace the blocks “A” in their original

position.

Dishes that are bigger than 20 cm in diameter can no longer be loaded onto the upper basket and the mobile supports cannot be used when the basket is in the upper position.

LOADING DISHES

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.

IMPORTANT The lower basket has a safety-stop device, for its safe extraction, also especially useful with a full load. For loading salt, cleaning filter and for ordinary maintenance, the complete extraction of the basket is necessary.

A standard daily load is represented in figs. 1, 2 and 3.

LOADING THE DETERGENT

The detergent

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

“FINISH” gives very good results and can be easily obtained.

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.

Filling the detergent container

The detergent container is inside the door (fig. A “2”). If the lid of the container is closed, press the button (A) to open. At the end of every wash cycle the lid is always open and ready for the next time the dishwasher is used.

WARNING! When loading the lower basket, please ensure that the plates or others do not obstruct the detergent dispenser.

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 g of detergent in the wash section of detergent compartment (B).

After pouring the detergent into the container, close the lid, firstly pushing (1) and then pressing on it (2) until you hear the click.

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.

IMPORTANT Do not use an excessive amount of detergent and help limit damage to the environment at the same time.

TYPES OF DETERGENT

Detergent tablets

Detergent tablets of different manufacturers dissolve at different speeds, for this reason, during short programmes, some detergent tablets may be not fully effective, because they are not completely dissolved. If these products are used, is recommended to choose longer programmes to guarantee the complete use of the detergent.

IMPORTANT To get satisfactory washing results, the tablets MUST be placed in the wash section of the detergent container and NOT directly in the tub.

Concentrated detergents

The concentrated detergents, with reduced alkalinity and with natural enzymes, in conjunction with 50°C wash programmes, have a smaller impact on the environment and they protect the dishes and the dishwasher. The 50°C wash programmes purposely exploit the dirt-dissolving properties of the enzymes, allowing therefore, with the use of the concentrated detergents, to achieve the same results of the 65°C programmes but at a lower temperature.

Combined detergents

The detergents that also contain the rinse aid must be placed in the wash section of the detergent container. The rinse aid container must be empty (if it is not empty, set the rinse aid regulator to lowest position before using combined detergents).

■ 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.

If when using this type of product, you don't get satisfactory washing results, please contact the detergent manufacturer.

In certain circumstances use of combined detergents can cause:

■ limescale deposits on dishes or in the dishwasher;

■ a reduction in washing and drying performance.

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

Please note that using the "ALL in 1" combined detergents, the rinse aid and salt indicator lights (only used on selected models) are superfluous, so you must ignore the lights.

If washing and/or drying problems occur, we recommend you return to use traditional separate products (salt, detergent and rinse agent). This will ensure that the water softener in the dishwasher operates correctly.

In this case, we recommends that you:

"ALL in 1" combined detergents

If you are planning to use “ALL in 1” (“3 in 1 “/ “4 in 1”/ “5 in 1”, etc.) 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;

■ refill both the salt and rinse aid container;

■ run one normal washing cycle without a

load.

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.

LOADING THE RINSE AID

CLEANING THE FILTERS

The rinse aid

The rinse aid, which is automatically released during the last rinsing cycle, helps the dishes to dry quickly and prevents spots and stains forming.

Filling the rinse aid container

The rinse aid container can be found to the left of the detergent container (fig. A "3"). To open the lid, push the reference mark and, in the same time, pull the tab of opening. It is always advisable to use rinse aid that is specifically designed for dishwasher. Check the rinse aid level through the indicator eye (C) which is located on the dispenser.

FULL EMPTY

dark light

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.

Regulating the rinse aid from 1 to 6

The regulator (D) is placed under the lid and can be turned using a coin. The recommended position is 4. 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.

WARNING! 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.

IMPORTANT Never use the dishwasher without the filters.

PRATICAL HINTS

How to get really good wash results

■ 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, tooth picks etc. to avoid blocking the filters, water outlet and washing arm nozzles.

■ 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.

■ Place the dishes face downwards.

■ 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.

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

■ 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.

■ 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.

How to make savings

■ 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 RINSE 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.

■ 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.

What not to wash

■ It should 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 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.

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.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

■ To clean the dishwasher outside, do not use solvents (degreasing action) neither abrasives, but only a cloth soaked with water.

■ The dishwasher does not require special maintenance, because the tank is self-cleaning.

■ 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:

1. to remove the upper rotor arm, turn it until it lines up with the stop marked by the arrow (fig. 1). Push it upwards (fig. 1b) 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);

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

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

■ 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.

PROGRAMME SELECTION AND SPECIAL FUNCTIONS

(Use in conjunction with programme guide)

IMPORTANT The dishwasher has two very practical functions:

- the "recommended" programme (which is set in the factory and is ideal for full-load daily use) for quick and accurate selection;

- the memory function which saves the last programme used, so that if you regularly use the same washing cycle, you do not have to re-set the programme every time, thereby saving time and effort.

"EXPRESS" button

This button offers a choice of 2 levels of wash intensity, according to how dirty the dishes are. It also reduces the time and energy used.

WATERCONTROL-SYSTEM (CDF8 312 X)

The water-stop device protects against water damages caused by leaks on the fill hose which could develop due to natural ageing of the hose. In the water-stop system the leaking water fills the corrugated hose and activates a stop valve which cuts off the water supply to the machine. This fault is shown by a red sector on the window «A». Would this occur, please refer to your Service Agent. If the hose is not long enough for correct connection, it must be replaced with a longer one. The hose can be obtained from your Service Agent.

Lire attentivement les instructions contenues dans ce livret car elles donnent d'importantes indications sur la sécurité d'installation, d'utilisation et de maintenance ainsi que quelques conseils utiles pour mieux utiliser le lave-vaisselle.

Conserver avec soin ce livret pour toute consultation ultérieure.

CONSEILS DE SÉCURITÉ

L'emploi de n'importe quel appareil électrique comporte l'observation de règles fondamentales.

Installation

■ Le socle ainsi que la prise mâle de l'appareil doivent correspondre à la puissance maximum absorbée par l'appareil. En cas de nécessité de remplacement de l'un ou de l'autre de ces éléments, faire effectuer la modification par un professionel patenté.

■ S'assurer que l'appareil n'écrase pas le fil électrique d'alimentation.

■ L'utilisation de prises multiples et/ou rallonges est déconseillée et dégage le constructeur de toutes responsabilités.

■ Si le remplacement du câble d'alimentation s'avère nécessaire, l'opération doit être réalisée par le Service Après-vente.

Sécurité

■ Ne pas toucher l'appareil avec les mains ou pieds mouillés ou humides.

■ Ne pas utiliser l'appareil pieds nus.

■ Ne pas tirer sur le câble d'alimentation

de l'appareil pour débrancher la prise du courant.

■ Ne pas laisser exposer l'appareil à des agents atmosphériques (pluie, soleil etc...).

■ Cet appareil n’est pas destiné à être utilisé par des personnes (notamment les enfants) incapables, irresponsables ou sans connaissance sur l’utilisation du produit, à moins qu’elles ne soient surveillées, ou instruites sur l’utilisation de l’appareil, par une personne responsable de leur sécurité.

Surveillez les enfants pour être sûr qu’ils ne jouent pas avec l’appareil.

■ A la fin du programme de lavage, l’eau résiduelle dans l’appareil ou sur la vaisselle, ne doit pas être consommée.

■ La porte ne doit pas rester en position ouverte car cela pourrait occasionner des accidents.

■ S’appuyer ou s’asseoir sur la porte ouverte du lave vaisselle risque d’entraîner son basculement.

ATTENTION! Les couteaux et autres ustensiles avec des parties pointues ou coupantes doivent être rangés avec les pointes en bas ou horizontalement.

Usage quotidien

■ Cet appareil devra être destiné uniquement à l'utilisation à usage domestique.

■ Le lave-vaisselle est conçu pour laver des ustensiles domestiques normaux. Les objets contaminés par de l'essence, de la peinture, des restes d'acier ou de fer, des produits chimiques corrosifs, acides ou alcalins ne doivent pas être lavés en machine.

■ S'il y a une installation d'adoucissement de l'eau dans l'habitation, il n'est pas nécessaire d'ajouter de sel dans l'adoucisseur monté dans le lave-vaisselle.

■ La coutellerie est mieux lavée si les manches sont positionnés vers le bas dans le panier à couverts.

■ En cas de panne et/ou de mauvais fonctionnement de l'appareil, l'éteindre, fermer le robinet d'arrivée d'eau et ne pas ouvrir l'appareil. Appelez le Service Après-vente de votre revendeur en lui précisant bien le type de votre appareil. Le non respect des prescriptions énoncées ci-dessus peut compromettre la sécurité de l'appareil.

Mise au rebut

■ Cet appareil est fabriqué avec des matériaux recyclables pour permettre de les éliminer avec facilité.

■ Si l'on veut se débarrasser d'un vieux lave-vaisselle, enlever le système de fermeture de la porte pour que les enfants ne puissent pas s'enfermer dans la machine. Coupez le cordon d’alimentation après l’avoir retiré de la prise murale.

INSTALLATION

(Remarques techniques)

■ Après le déballage, régler la hauteur du lave-vaisselle. Pour un fonctionnement parfait, il est important que le lave-vaisselle soit à niveau, en règlant les pieds de façon à ce qu'une éventuelle inclinaison ne dépasse pas 2 degrés.

■ Dans le cas où vous devez transporter de façon manuelle la machine sans emballage, ne pas prendre la porte par le bas, mais faire comme dans le schéma; ouvrir légèrement la porte et soulever l'appareil en utilisant le top supérieur.

IMPORTANT Les ouvertures à la base de l'appareil ne doivent en aucun cas être obstruées par des tapis, moquette ou autre objets.

À l'installation il est important de verifier que la prise soit facilement accessible.

Alimentation Electrique

L'appareil est conforme aux exigences de sécurité prévues par les différents instituts de Normes, et c'est la prise tripolaire avec un pôle de terre qui assure la mise à la terre complète de l'appareil.

Avant de brancher la machine sur le circuit électrique s'assurer:

1. que la prise murale est correctement

reliée à la terre;

2. que le réglage du contacteur électrique

correspond bien à la puissance absorbée indiquée sur la plaque signalétique du lave-vaisselle.

ATTENTION! L'efficacité de la sécurité est donc subordonnée à la mise à la terre correcte de votre propre installation.

En cas d'absence d'un branchement efficace de la mise à la terre, il peut subvenir une légère dispersion de courant sur les parties métalliques de la machine, due à la présence d'un filtre antiparasite radio.

Le constructeur décline toute responsabilité pour des dommages éventuels survenus aux personnes et aux biens imputables à un mauvais raccordement de la ligne de terre.

Produit compatible avec les Directives Européennes 73/23/EEC et 89/336/EEC, remplacé par 2006/95/EC et 2004/108/EC, et les amendements successifs.

Branchement Hydraulique

IMPORTANT L'appareil doit être relié à l'arrivèe d'eau, exclusivement avec le tuyaux fournis. Ne pas réutiliser les anciens tuyaux.

■ Les tuyaux de vidange et de remplissage peuvent être orientés de façon indifférente vers la droite ou vers la gauche.

IMPORTANT Le lave-vaisselle peut-être relié de façon indifférente à l'eau froide ou chaude à condition que la température ne dépasse pas les 60°C.

■ La pression hydraulique doit être comprise d'un minimum de 0,08 MPa à un maximum de 0,8 MPa.

Pour des pressions inférieures, nous vous conseillons de demander des instructions à notre service Après-vente.

■ Il est nécessaire de prévoir un robinet en amont du tube de chargement pour isoler la machine du système hydraulique, quand celle-ci ne fonctionne pas (fig. 1B).

■ Le lave vaisselle est doté d'un tuyau pour la prise d'eau avec un embout fileté 3/4" (fig. 2).

■ Le tuyau d'alimentation "A" devra être vissé à un robinet d'eau "B" à l'aide de l'attache 3/4" en s'assurant que le collier est bien serré.

■ Si nécessaire il est possible de rallonger le tube de vidange jusqu'à 2,5 m. Cette rallonge de tube est disponible auprès du service après-vente.

■ Si des saletés ou du sable sont présents dans l’eau, il est recommandé de demander le filtre approprié, art. 9226085, auprès du service après-vente (fig. 3). Le filtre "D" doit être placé entre la prise d'eau 3/4" "B" et le tuyau d'alimentation "A", ne pas oublier de mettre les joints "C".

■ Si la machine est branchée à des tuyauteries neuves, ou qui n'ont pas été utilisées pendant une longue période, faire couler l'eau pendant quelques minutes avant de brancher le tuyau d'alimentation. On évitera ainsi la formation de dépôts de sable ou de rouille qui pourraient boucher le filtre d'entrée de l'eau.

Raccordement à la vidange

■ Pour la vidange, introduire le tuyau dans l'installation de vidange, en prenant soin de ne pas le plier car l'écoulement des eaux s'en trouverait perturbé (fig. 4).

■ Le tuyau de vidange fixe doit avoir au moins un diamètre intérieur de 4 cm et doit être placé à une hauteur minimum de 40 cm.

■ Pour éviter les odeurs, nous recommandons de prévoir un siphon (fig. 4X).

■ Si nécessaire il est possible de rallonger le tube de vidange jusqu'à 2,5 mètres en le maintenant cependant à une hauteur maximum de 85 cm du sol. Cette rallonge de tube est disponible auprès du service après-vente.

■ L'extrémité recourbée du tuyau de vidange peut être accrochée au bord d'un évier, mais ne doit pas rester immergée, pour éviter le siphonnage de l'appareil pendant le programme de lavage (fig. 4Y).

■ En cas d'installation sous un dessus continu, le coude doit être fixé immédiatement sous le dessus au point le plus haut possible (fig. 4Z).

■ Pendant l'installation de la machine, contrôler que les tubes de remplissage et de vidange ne sont pas pliés.

INSTALLATION DANS UN ENSEMBLE DE CUISINE MODERNE

Juxtaposition

■ Le lave-vaisselle a été étudié avec une hauteur standard de 85 cm et peut être ainsi placé entre des meubles de cuisine moderne d'une même hauteur. Pour obtenir un alignement parfait, agir sur les pieds réglables.

■ Le plan supérieur est un vrai plan de travail en plastique laminé de haute résistance (fig. 5).

Encastrement

(Installation sous un plan de travail)

■ Les ensembles de cuisine moderne ont un plan de travail unique sous lequel viennent s'insérer les meubles de base et les appareils ménagers. Dans ce cas, il suffit de retirer le plan de travail en dévissant les vis qui se trouvent au-dessous et à l'arrière (fig. 6a).

IMPORTANT Après avoir retiré le plan de travail, les vis DOIVENT être vissées de nouveau (fig. 6b).

■ La hauteur est ainsi réduite à 82 cm comme prévue dans la norme internationale (ISO), et le lave-vaisselle vient s'intégrer parfaitement sous le plan

(fig. 7).

Ouverture de la porte

Mettre la main dans le creux, et tirer. Si la porte s'ouvre durant le fonctionnement de l'appareil, une sécurité électrique permet d'interrompre automatiquement les fonctions préétablies.

IMPORTANT

Pour une utilisation correcte ne pas ouvrir la porte du lave-vaisselle pendant son fonctionnement.

598

556/573

Fermeture de la porte

Mettre les paniers. Vérifier que les plats ou casseroles ne gênent pas les rampes avants et s'assurer que celles-ci tournent librement. Fermer la porte et la bloquer avec force.

ADOUCISSEUR D’EAU

Selon la source d’approvisionnement, l’eau contient des quantités variables de calcaire et de minéraux qui se déposent sur la vaisselle en laissant des taches et des marques blanchâtres. Plus la densité de minéraux dans l’eau est élevée, plus celle-ci est dure. Le lave vaisselle est équipé d’un dispositif d’adoucisseur d’eau qui, avec l’utilisation du sel régénérant, fournit de l’eau douce pour laver la vaisselle. Le degré de dureté de votre eau peut vous être communiqué par votre fournisseur d’eau.

Réglage de l’adoucisseur d’eau

L’adoucisseur d’eau peut traiter de l’eau d’une dureté allant jusqu’à 90°fH (graduation française) ou 50°dH (graduation germanique) à partir de six positions de réglage différentes.

Dans le tableau ci-dessous sont indiqués les différents degrés de dureté de l’eau avec les positions de réglage de l’adoucisseur correspondantes.

* L’adoucisseur d’eau est réglé en

usine sur le niveau 3, adapté à la majorité des cas.

Selon le degré de dureté de votre eau, procédez au réglage de l’adoucisseur d’eau comme suit:

IMPORTANT Commencer TOUJOURS la procédure avec le lave-vaisselle éteint.

1. Maintenir enfoncée la touche "PROGRAMMES" et allumer

simultanément le lave vaisselle à l’aide de la touche "MARCHE/ARRÊT" (vous entendrez alors un son).

2. Maintenir enfoncée la touche "PROGRAMMES" pendant 5 secondes

au moins. Relâcher la touche SEULEMENT après avoir entendu le signal sonore. Certains voyants "PROGRAMMES" s’allumeront pour indiquer le niveau de diminution du calcaire.

3. Enfoncer de nouveau la même touche pour choisir le niveau de diminution du calcaire désirée: a chaque pression, un voyant s’illuminera (le niveau correspond au nombre de voyants allumés). Pour le niveau 5 les 4 voyants

"PROGRAMMES" clignoteront, pour le niveau 0 tous les voyants seront

éteints.

4. Eteindre le lave-vaisselle en appuyant sur la touche "MARCHE/ARRÊT" pour rendre effective la nouvelle configuration.

ATTENTION! Si, pour quelque raison que ce soit, la procédure ne peut être terminée avec succès, éteindre le lave-vaisselle en appuyant sur la touche "MARCHE/ARRÊT" et recommencer depuis début (POINT 1).

Voyants “PROGRAMMES”

CHARGEMENT DU SEL

■ Sur le fond de la machine se trouve le bac à sel pour la régénération de l'adoucisseur d'eau.

■ Il est important de n’utiliser que le sel spécifiquement prévu pour les lavevaisselle. Autres types de sel contenant de sensibles percentages de substances insolubles qui pourraient avec le temps rendre inèfficace le système de l'adoucisseur.

■ Pour introduire le sel, dévisser le bouchon du bac.

■ Pendant l'opération de remplissage un peu d'eau débordera: continuez à verser le sel jusqu'à ce que le réservoir soit plein (mélanger à l'aide d'une cuillère). Après cette opération nettoyer le filetage en enlevant les résidus de sel; revisser le bouchon.

■ Après chargement du sel, il est recommandé d’effectuer un cycle de lavage complet ou de mettre en marche le programme TREMPAGE (ou RINCAGE A FROID). Pour une utilisation optimale de l’appareil, le réservoir à sel, dont la capacité varie de 1,5 à 1,8 kg, doit être rempli de temps en temps en fonction du réglage opéré sur l’adoucisseur d’eau.

IMPORTANT Ce n'est qu'au cours de la phase d'installation de la machine à laver la vaisselle qu'il faudra, après avoir remplí complètement le bac à sel, ajouter de l'eau jusqu'à ce qu'elle déborde du bac.

Indicateur de remplissage du sel

Ce modèle est pourvu de voyant électrique sur le tableau de bord qui s'allume quand il faut remplir le réservoir à sel.

IMPORTANT La vaisselle tachée de blanc est généralement une indication importante d'absence de sel.

RÉGLAGE DU PANIER SUPÉRIEUR

Quand on utilise habituellement des assiettes de 27 à 31 cm de diamètre, charger celles-ci dans le panier inférieur après avoir mis le panier supérieur à sa position la plus haute en procédant comme suit:

1. Faire tourner les butées avant "A" vers

l'extérieur;

2. Dégager le panier et le remonter à sa

position la plus haute;

3. Remettre les butées "A" dans leur

position d'origine.

Cette opération permet de charger dans le panier supérieur de la vaisselle d'un diamètre de plus de 20 cm et ne permet pas d'utiliser les supports mobiles en position haute.

CHARGER LA VAISSELLE

Utilisation du panier supérieur

■ Le panier supérieur est pourvu de supports mobiles accrochés au bord latéral et pouvant occuper deux positions: haute et basse. Sur la position basse les supports servent pour recevoir les tasses à thé, à café, les couteaux longs et les louches. Aux extrémités des supports, vous pouvez suspendre les verres à pied. En-dessous vous pouvez ranger les verres, les tasses, les soucoupes et les assiettes à dessert.

■ Quand les supports occupent la position haute, ils permettent de placer les assiettes plates et creuses. Ayez soin de placer les assiettes creuses verticalement et en tournant leur partie concave vers l'avant de la machine; laisser toujours de l'espace entre chaque assiette pour que l'eau circule librement.

■ Pour exploiter au maximum la capacité du panier nous vous conseillons de grouper les assiettes de même forme.

■ Les assiettes peuvent être placées sur une seule rangée (fig. 1) ou sur les deux rangées (fig. 2).

■ Nous vous conseillons de ranger les plats de grande dimension, dont le diamètre est d'environ 270 mm, légèrement inclinés vers l'avant de façon à favoriser l'introduction du panier à l'intérieur de la machine.

■ Dans le panier supérieur vous pouvez ranger différente vaisselle comme le saladier et les bols en plastique qu'il vaut mieux bloquer afin d'éviter que les jets d'eau ne les renversent.

■ Le panier supérieur a été conçu pour permettre une souplesse maximum d'utilisation. Il peut n'être chargé qu'avec des assiettes placées sur deux rangées, 24 pièces maximum, avec des verres sur cinq rangées, 30 pièces maximum, ou bien avec de la vaisselle mixte.

Utilisation du panier inférieur

■ Dans le panier inférieur vous placerez les casseroles, les poêles, les soupières, les saladiers, les couvercles, les plats, les assiettes plates et creuses et les louches.

■ Les couverts doivent être placés manche vers le bas dans le panier à couverts, que l'on placera à son tour dans le panier inférieur (fig. 3) en s'assurant qu'il n'entrave pas la rotation des bras de lavage.

IMPORTANT Le panier inférieur possède un dispositif d’arrêt automatique permettant son extraction en toute sécurité, très utile aussi lors du chargement complet du lave-vaisselle. L’extraction total du panier inférieur est nécessaire afin de charger le sel ainsi que pour le nettoyage du filtre et de l’entretien ordinaire de la machine.

Un chargement standard journalier est indiqué dans les fig. 1, 2 et 3.

Panier à couverts (fig. 4)

Le panier à couverts est formé de deux parties offrant ainsi différentes possibilités de chargement . La séparation en deux parties du panier se fait en faisant glisser, dans le sens horizontal, les deux parties l'une par rapport à l'autre et vice versa pour les ré-enclencher.

Le couvercle du panier à couverts peut être retiré pour permettre différentes possibilités de chargement.
