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).

■ Do not let children (or others incapable
of operating it) use the machine without
supervision.

■ 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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:

1. remove the lower rack. Unscrew and
remove the cap from the salt dispenser
located in the bottom of the tub

(fig. A"1");

2. turn the selector screw to the required

position with a screwdriver or a knife.

TYPE 2

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.

Regulating the water softener

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

*The water softener unit is set in the
factory at level 2, as this is suitable for the
majority of users.

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.

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.
