1. Check the filters

Ensure they are clean and properly positioned See "Maintenance and cleaning" section.

2. Check that there is rinse aid and salt

See "Before Use" section.

3. Load the dishes

Remove any scraps of food. Pull the lower basket out and arrange the

saucepans, plates and cutlery in it. Pull the upper basket out and arrange the plates,

saucers, glasses and cups etc. in it. Slide the baskets back into the machine.

4. Ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely.

5. Measure out detergent

Add the required amount of detergent into the dispenser according to the "Washing programmes" chart.

Close the detergent dispenser lid.

6. Close the dishwasher door

7. Set the programme

Turn the programme selector dial clockwise until the programme marker on the knob corresponds with the number of the programme you wish to select.

8. Start the programme

Depress the On/Off push button. The "Mains On" indicator light will come on

and the machine will start. If you wish to interrupt the washing programme at

any time press this button again.

9. At the end of the washing programme

At the end of the programme the dishwasher will automatically stop.

The “Mains On” indicator light remains on until the On/Off push button is depressed.

10. Switch off the dishwasher

Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push button.

Wait 15/20 minutes before opening the dishwashers’s door; in this way you will avoid burning yourself when removing the dishes and avoid also the damage of the nearby furniture caused by the escape of steam.

Empty the lower basket first and then the upper one; this will avoid water dripping from the upper basket onto the dishes in the lower one.

When the washing programme has finished, it is recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and the water tap turned off.

In general it is not advisable to open the door while the machine is working; if the door is opened however, a safety device ensures that the machine stops.

Important! Care must be taken if the door is opened during the hot phase or immediately after a programme has finished, as steam may escape.

Operating sequence

Loading your appliance

Before placing dishes in the machine, remove any scraps of food, to avoid clogging the filters and consequently reducing the performance.

Do not load very small items which can fall through the baskets.

The lower basket

The lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery etc.

Serving dishes and large lids should be arranged around the edge of the basket, ensuring that the upper spray arm can turn freely.

The cutlery basket

Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard. Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket. Take care when loading or unloading sharp items such as knives.

Cutlery should be placed in the removable cutlery basket with the handles facing downwards.

If the handles protrude from the bottom of the basket, obstructing the lower spray arm, load the cutlery with the handles facing upwards.

Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent them from sticking together.

For best results we recommend to use the cutlery grid provided (if the size and dimensions of the cutlery allow it).

The upper basket

The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates, saucers, dinner plates of up to 25 cm in diameter), salad bowls, cups and glasses.

Arrange items so that water can reach all surfaces. Light items (plastic bowls etc.) should be loaded in the

upper basket and arranged so they do not move.

In case that plates are loaded in the upper basket:

load them starting from the rear positions of the basket; tilting them slightly forwards and avoiding the front positions near the door.

Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely.

Adjusting the height of the upper basket

If washing very large plates (over 27 cm and up to 32 cm in diameter) you can load them in the lower basket after moving the upper basket to the higher position.

To move to the higher position proceed as follows:

1. Move the front runner stops (A) of the upper basket

outwards and slide the basket out.

2. Refit the basket in the higher position and replace the stops (A) in their original position.

When the top basket is in the higher position it will only take plates up to 20 cm in diameter and you will not be able to use the raised cup racks.

After loading your machine always close the door, as an open door can be a hazard.

Fitting under a counter

(kitchen worktop or sink)

By removing the machine’s worktop, you can install it under a close fitting sink unit or a pre-existing top, providing the dimensions of the recess correspond to those shown in the picture.

Proceed as follows:

- Remove the machine’s worktop by unscrewing the two rear retaining screws, pull from the front and slide out the rear slots, lifting the worktop.

Insert the machine after adjusting height and levelling with the adjustable feet. When inserting the machine, ensure that the water inlet and drain hoses are not kinked or squashed.

Levelling

Good levelling is essential for correct closure and sealing of the door.

When the appliance is correctly levelled, the door will not catch on the levelling spacers on either side of the cabinet.

If the door does not close correctly, loosen or tighten the adjustable feet until the machine is perfectly level.
