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.

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.

4

■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.

Opening the door

Closing 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.

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.

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.

Regulating the water softener

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

3	41-50	23-27	YES	position N.3	30
4	51-60	28-33	YES	position N.4	20

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.

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.
