INSTALLATION

(Technical notes)

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

■ 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Opening the door

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 29 cm to 32,5 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.

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 into 4 positions.

■ In the lowered position (A-A1) the racks may be used for such items as: tea and coffee cups, kitchen knives and ladles. Also glasses with stems may be safely hung on the ends of the racks.

A1A

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

Upper basket (fig. 1) A = soup plates B = dinner plates C = dessert plates D = saucers E = cups F = glasses

■ In the upright position (B-B1) the racks allow you to load dinner plates and soup plates. 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.

B B1

■ It is advisable to load large plates (approx. 26 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.

Upper basket (fig. 2) A = soup plates B = dinner plates C = dessert plates D = saucers E = cups F = glasses with stems G = glass H = cutlery basket

■ 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.

- 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.).

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. 7 and 8), making sure that the cutlery does not get in the way of the rotating arms.

■ The lower basket is fitted with a special adjustable central rack (fig. 4 and 5). 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.

■ The small plates, as those used for desserts for example, must be placed in the lower basket as shown in the figure 6 , 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.

A standard daily load is represented in figs. 7 and 8.

Please load the dishwasher sensibly to ensure the best wash results.

INFORMATION FOR THE TEST LABORATORIES

Please ask information required for comparison testing and measuring noise levels, according to EN normative, to the following address:

testinfo-dishwasher@candy.it

In the request, please specify model name and number of the dishwasher (see rating plate).

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.

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.

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).

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.

■ 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.

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 detergentsi.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;

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.

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.

FULL EMPTY

dark light

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 ht e amount by one position.
