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 of f, turn of f 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:

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

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).

■ 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).

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.

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).

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.

11

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.

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
with electronic programmer

The water softener can treat water with a
hardness level of up to 90°fH (French
grading) or 50°dH (German grading)
through 8 settings.

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. Pull out the upper basket;

2. Then grasp the basket from both sides

and lift it upwards (fig. 1).

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.

ADJUST BASKET TO THE LOWER
POSITION:

1. Grasp the basket from both sides and lift
slightly upwards (fig. 2a);

2. Then slowly release into the correct
position (fig. 2b).

N. B. : NEVER LIFT OR LOWER THE
BASKET BY ONE SIDE ONLY (fig.3).

Attention :
it is advisable to adjust the basket before
loading the dishes.

13

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.

A standard daily load is represented in

figs. 1 and 2.

■ The lower basket is fitted with a special
adjustable central rack (fig. 3 and 4).
This permits stable and optimum
loading, even when the size and/or
shape of the dishes is non-standard.

- POSITION “A”: for a standard load, or
one that excludes pans, salad bowls and
the like.

- POSITION “B”: for dishes which,
although standard size, have a particular
shape (very deep bowls, square dishes
or ones without borders etc.).

- POSITION “C”: for larger than average
flat plates and/or ones with non­standard shapes (square, hexagonal,
oval, pizza dishes etc.).

■ The small plates, as those used for
desserts for example, must be placed in
the lower basket as shown in the figure 5,
with the support flap placed outwards ("B").
For normal or large plates the flap must
be in the position ("A").

WARNING!
If the small plates are placed in the
basket with the support flap in the
incorrect position, the plates will
interfere with the lower spraying arm
preventing it to rotate.

fig. 3 for the cutlery basket.

4. Amount of detergent:

- 9,5 g directly in the dishwasher;

- 28 g in the detergent container.

17

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).

16

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.

A

B

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).

"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;

■ 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:

■ 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.

CLEANING THE FILTERS

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.

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.

LOADING THE RINSE AID

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.

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.
