First use

Before using your dishwasher for the first time:

• Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply with the installation instruc-

tions

• Remove all packaging from inside the appliance

• Set the water softener

• Pour 1 litre of water inside the salt container and then fill with dishwasher salt

• Fill the rinse aid dispenser

If you want to use combi detergent tablets such as: "3 in 1", "4 in 1", "5 in 1" etc... set the

Multitab function (see "Multitab function").

Set the water softener

The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener designed to remove minerals and salts

from the water supply, which would have a detrimental or adverse effect on the operation

of the appliance.

The higher the content of these minerals and salts, the harder your water is. Water hardness

is measured in equivalent scales, German degrees (°dH), French degrees (°TH) and mmol/l

(millimol per litre - international unit for the hardness of water).

The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water in your area. Your

local Water Authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area.

The water softener must be set in both ways: manually, using the water hardness dial and

electronically.

Use of dishwasher salt

WARNING!

Only use salt specifically designed for use in dishwashers. All other types of salt not spe-

cifically designed for use in a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water soft-

ener. Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete washing programmes. This

will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been spilt, remaining on the

bottom of the machine for any period of time, which may cause corrosion.

To fill:

1. Open the door, remove the lower basket and unscrew the cap of the salt container by

turning it anticlockwise.

Pour 1 litre of water inside the container (this is necessary only before filling with

salt for the first time) .

3. Using the funnel provided, pour in the salt

until the container is full.

4. Replace the cap making sure that there is

no trace of salt on the screw thread or on

the gasket.

5. Replace the cap tightly turning it clock-

wise until it stops with a click.

Do not worry if water overflows from the unit

when filling with salt, this is quite normal.

The salt indicator light on the control panel can remain illuminated for 2-6 hours after the

salt has been replenished, assuming the dishwasher remains switched on. If you are using

salts that take longer to dissolve then this can take longer. The function of the machine is

not affected.

Use of rinse aid

WARNING!

Only use branded rinse aid for dishwashers.

Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances (e.g. dishwasher cleaning agent,

liquid detergent). This would damage the appliance.

Rinse aid ensures thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying.

Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse.

Use of dishwasher salt

1. Open the container by pressing the release

button (A).

2. Add the rinse aid in the container. The

maximum level for filling is indicated by

"max".

The dispenser holds about 110 ml of rinse

aid, which is sufficient for between 16 and

40 dishwashing cycles, depending upon

the dosage setting.

3. Ensure that the lid is closed after every re-

fill.

Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with

an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming

during the next wash.

Adjusting the dosage of rinse aid

According to the finish and drying results obtained, adjust the dose of rinse aid by means

of the 6 position selector (position 1= minimum dosage, position 6= maximum dosage).

The dose is factory set in position 4.

Increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime

spots on the dishes after washing.

Reduce it if there are sticky whitish streaks on the

dishes or a bluish film on glassware or knife blades.

Use of rinse aid

Daily use

• Check if it's necessary to refill with dishwasher salt or rinse aid.

• Load cutlery and dishes into the dishwasher.

• Fill with dishwasher detergent.

• Select a wash programme suitable for the cutlery and dishes.

• Start the wash programme.

Load cutlery and dishes

Sponges, household cloths and any object that can absorb water may not be washed in the

dishwasher.

• Before loading the dishes, you should:

– Remove all left over food and debris.

– Soften remnants of burnt food in pans

• When loading the dishes and cutlery, please note:

– Dishes and cutlery must not impede the rotation of the spray arms.

– Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans, etc. with the opening downwards so

that water cannot collect in the container or a deep base.

– Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another, or cover each other.

– To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch.

– Lay small objects in the cutlery basket.

• Plastic items and pans with non stick coatings have a tendency to retain water drops;

these items will not dry as well as porcelain and steel items.

• Light items (plastic bowls etc.) must be loaded in the upper basket and arranged so they

do not move.

For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery and dishes

are not suitable: are of limited suitability:

• Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or mother-

of-pearls handles.

• Plastic items that are not heat resistant.

• Older cutlery with glued parts that are not

temperature resistant.

• Bonded cutlery items or dishes.

• Pewter or copper items.

• Lead crystal glass.

• Steel items prone to rusting.

• Wooden platters.

• Items made from synthetics fibres.

• Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it

is specially marked as being dishwasher-safe

by the manufacturer.

• Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed

frequently.

• Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency

to discolour during washing: Residues, e.g.

egg white, egg yolk and mustard often cause

discolouring and staining on silver. Therefore

always clean left-overs from silver immedi-

ately, if it is not to be washed straight after

use.

Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes.

Daily use

The lower basket

Select and start a washing programme

The selection of the washing programme and delay start can also occur with the door closed.

Keep in mind that in this way, once a washing programme button is pressed you have

ONLY 3 seconds in which you can choose another programme or select a delay start, after

which the selected programme will start automatically.

WARNING!

Interrupt or cancel a washing programme in progress ONLY if it’s absolutely nec-

essary. Attention! Hot steam may escape when the door is opened. Open the door

carefully.

Cancelling a delay start or a washing programme in progress

• Press the RESET button until all the programme lights will illuminate.

• Cancelling a delay start involves also the cancelling of the washing programme set. In

this case you have to set the washing programme again.

• If a new washing programme is to be selected, check that there is detergent in the

detergent dispenser.

Interrupt a washing programme in progress

• Open the dishwasher door; the programme will stop. Close the door; the programme will

start from the point at which it was interrupted.

• Press the On/Off button, all lights will turn off. Press the On/Off button again; the pro-

gramme will start from the point at which it was interrupted.

End of the washing programme

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

It is recommended to switch off the appliance once the washing programme has ended. If

this is not done, automatically after about 3 minutes from the end of the programme, all

indicator lights will go off. The digital display shows 1 horizontal bar.

This will help to reduce the consumption of energy when you forget or for any reason

cannot switch the appliance off once the programme has ended.

Press any button (except On/Off) and the control panel will show the same situation (in-

dicator lights and digital display) as when the programme ended.

2. Open the dishwasher's door, leave it ajar and wait a few minutes before removing the

dishes; in this way they will be cooler and the drying will be improved.

Unloading the dishwasher

• Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks.

The dishes should therefore be allowed to cool down before removing from the appliance.

• 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.

Unloading the dishwasher

• Water may appear on the sides and the door of the dishwasher as the stainless steel will

eventually become cooler than the dishes.

CAUTION!

When the washing programme has finished, it is recommended that the dishwasher is

unplugged and the water tap turned off.

Care and cleaning

Cleaning the filters

The filters must be checked and cleaned from time to time. Dirty filters will degrade the

washing result.

WARNING!

Before cleaning the filters ensure that the machine is switched off.

1. Open the door, remove the lower basket.

2. The dishwasher filter system comprises a

coarse filter (A), a microfilter (B) and a flat

filter. Unlock the filter system using the

handle on the microfilter, and remove the

filter system.

3. Turn the handle about 1/4 a turn anti-

clockwise and remove the filter system.

Take hold of the coarse filter (A) by the

handle with the hole and remove from the

microfilter (B).

5. Clean all filters thoroughly under running

water.

Care and cleaning

6. Remove the flat filter from the base of the

washing compartment and clean both

faces thoroughly.

7. Put the flat filter back in the base of the

washing compartment and ensure that it

fits perfectly.

Place the coarse filter (A) in the microfilter

(B) and press together.

9. Put the filter combination in place and

lock by turning the handle clockwise to the

stop. During this process ensure that the

flat filter does not protrude above the base

of the washing compartment.

WARNING!

NEVER use the dishwasher without filters. Incorrect repositioning and fitting of the filters

will produce poor washing results and may result in damage to the appliance.

Cleaning the spray arms

NEVER try to remove the spray arms.

If residues of soil have clogged the holes in the spray arms, remove them with a cocktail

stick.

External cleaning

Clean the external surfaces of the machine and control panel with a damp soft cloth. If

necessary use only neutral detergents. Never use abrasive products, scouring pads or solvent

(acetone, trichloroethylene etc....).

Internal cleaning

Ensure that the seals around the door, the detergent and rinse aid dispensers are cleaned

regularly with a damp cloth.

We recommend every 3 months to run the wash programme for heavy soiled dishes using

detergent but without dishes.

Prolonged periods of non-operation

Installation instructions

Installation

WARNING!

Any electrical and/or plumbing work required to install this appliance should be carried out

by a qualified electrician and/or plumber or competent person.

Remove all packaging before positioning the machine.

If possible, position the machine next to a water tap and a drain.

This dishwasher is designed to be fitted under a kitchen counter or work surface.

Attention! Carefully follow the instructions on the enclosed template for building in the

dishwasher and fitting the furniture panel.

No further openings for the venting of the dishwasher are required, but only to let the

water fill and drain hose and power supply cable pass through.

The dishwasher incorporates adjustable feet to allow the adjustment of the height.

During all operations that involve accessibility to internal components the dishwasher has

to be unplugged.

When inserting the machine, ensure that the water inlet hose, the drain hose and the supply

cable are not kinked or squashed.

Fixing to the adjacent units

The dishwasher must be secured against tilting.

Therefore make sure that the counter it is fixed under, is suitably secured to a fixed structure

(adjacent kitchen unites, cabinets, wall).

Installation

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 either side of the cabinet. If the door does

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

Water connection

Water supply connections

This appliance can be connected to either a hot (max. 60°) or cold water supply.

With a hot water supply you can have a significant reduction of energy consumption. This

however, depends on how the hot water is produced. (We suggest alternative sources of

energy that are more environmentally friendly as e.g. solar or photovoltaic panels and

aeolian).

For making the connection itself, the coupling nut fitted to the machine's supply hose is

designed to screw onto a 3/4" gas thread spout or to a purpose made quick-coupling tap

such as the Press-block.

The water pressure must be within the limits given in the "Technical specifications". Your

local Water Authority will advise you on the average mains pressure in your area.

The water inlet hose must not be kinked, crushed, or entangled when it is being connected.

The dishwasher features fill and drain hoses which can be turned either to the left or the

right to suit the installation by means of the locknut.

The locknut must be correctly fitted to avoid water leaks.

(Attention! NOT all models of dishwashers have fill and drain hoses provided with locknut.

In this case, this kind of facility is not possible). If the machine is connected to new pipes

or pipes which have not been used for a long time, you should run the water for a few

minutes before connecting the inlet hose.

DO NOT use connection hoses which have previously been used for an old appliance.

This appliance has been fitted with safety features which will prevent the water used in

the appliance from returning back into the drinking water system. This appliance complies

with the applicable plumbing regulations.

Water inlet hose with safety valve

After connecting the double-walled water inlet hose, the safety valve is next to the tap.

Therefore the water inlet hose is only under pressure while the water is running. If the

water inlet hose starts to leak during this operation, the safety valve cuts off the running

water.

Please take care when installing the water inlet hose:

• The electrical cable for the safety valve is in the double-walled water inlet hose. Do not

immerse the water inlet hose or the safety valve in water.

• If water inlet hose or the safety valve is damaged, remove the mains plug immediately.

• A water inlet hose with safety valve must only be replaced by a specialist or by the Service

Force Centre.

Water connection

WARNING!

Warning! Dangerous voltage.

Water outlet hose connection

The end of the drain hose can be connected in the following ways:

1. To the sink outlet spigot, securing it to the underside of the work surface. This will

prevent waste water from the sink running into the machine.

2. To a stand pipe provided with vent-hole, minimum internal diameter 4 cm.

The waste connection must be at a maximum

height of 60 cm from the bottom of the dish-

washer.

The drain hose can face either to the right or left

of the dishwasher.

Ensure the hose is not bent or squashed as this

could prevent or slow down the discharge of water.

The sink plug must not be in place when the ma-

chine is draining as this could cause the water to

syphon back into the machine.

The total length of the drain hose, including any

extension you might add, must be no longer than

4 metres. The internal diameter of the extension

hose must be no smaller than the diameter of the

hose provided.

Likewise the internal diameter of the couplings used for connections to the waste outlet

must be no smaller than the diameter of the hose provided.

When connecting the drain hose to an under sink trap spigot, the entire plastic membrane

(A) must be removed. Failure to remove all the membrane will result in food particles

building up over time eventually blocking the dishwasher drain hose spigot.

Our appliances are supplied with a security device to protect

against the return of dirty water back into the machine. If the

spigot of your sink has a "no return valve" incorporated this

can prevent the correct draining of your dishwasher. We

therefore advise you to remove it.

To avoid water leakage after installation make sure that the

water couplings are tight.

Water connection

Electrical connection

WARNING!

Safety standards require the appliance to be earthed.

Prior to using the appliance for the first time, ensure that the rated voltage and type of

supply on the rating plate match that of the supply where the appliance is to be installed.

The fuse rating is also to be found on the rating plate.

Always plug the mains plug into a correctly installed shockproof socket. Multi-way plugs,

connectors and extension cables must not be used.

This could constitute a fire hazard through overheating.

If necessary, have the domestic wiring system socket replaced. In case that the electrical

cable has to be replaced, contact your local Service Force centre.

The plug must be accessible after the appliance has been installed.

Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the cable. Always pull the plug.

The manufacturer accepts no liability for failure to observe the above safety precautions.
