First use

Before using your dishwasher for the first time:

• Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply with the installation
instructions

• 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 Multi-tab function (see "Multi-tab 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, Clarke degrees, 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.

Filling with dishwasher salt

WARNING!

Only use salt specifically designed for use in dishwashers. All other types of salt not
specifically designed for use in a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the
water softener. 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 con-

tainer by turning it anticlockwise.

2.

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

clockwise 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.

14

Filling with dishwasher salt

Filling with rinse aid

WARNING!

Only use branded rinse aid for dishwashers.
Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances (e.g. dishwasher clean-

ing 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.

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

refill.

Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling
with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess
foaming during the next wash.

Filling with rinse aid

15

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.

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.

Loading 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

16

Adjusting the dosage of rinse aid

• 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 down-

wards 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 mother­of-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 immedi­ately, if it is not to be washed straight after
use.

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

Loading cutlery and dishes

17

The lower basket

For larger utensils, such as whisks,
leave off one half of the cutlery grid.

The upper basket

Load smaller, fragile crockery and long, sharp
cutlery in the upper basket.

• Arrange items of crockery on and under the

folding cup racks so that they are offset
from each other and water can reach all
items.

Loading cutlery and dishes

19

• The cup racks can be folded up out of the

way for tall crockery items.

• Lay or hang wine and brandy glasses in

the slots in the cup racks.

• For glasses with long stems, fold the

glass rack to the right, otherwise fold it
away to the left.

• The row of spikes on the left of the upper

basket is also in two parts and can be
folded away.

Spikes not folded away: place glasses,
mugs etc. in the upper basket.

Spikes folded away: more room for serv­ing dishes.

Adjusting the height of the upper basket

an additional detergent dose (5/10 g)
that must be placed in the prewash
detergent chamber (2).

This detergent will take effect during
the prewash phase.

4. When using detergent tablets, place
the tablet in compartment (1)

5. Close the lid and press until it locks in
place.

Detergent tablets

Detergent tablets from different manu­factures dissolve at different rates. For this
reason, some detergent tablets do not at­tain their full cleaning power during short
washing programmes. Therefore, please
use long washing programmes when us­ing detergent tablets, to ensure the complete removal of detergent residuals.

22

Use of detergent

Multi-tab function

This appliance is equipped with the "Multi-Tab function", that allows the use of the
"Multi-Tab" combi detergent tablets.

1) The consumption values are intended as a guide and depends on the pressure and the temperature of the water

and also by the variations of the power supply and the amount of dishes.

2) During the Auto washing programme the amount of soil on the dishes is determined by how cloudy the water

is. The programme duration, water and energy consumption levels can vary; this depends upon if the appliance
is fully or partially loaded and if the dishes are lightly or heavily soiled. The temperature of the water is
automatically adjusted between 50° C and 65° C.

3) Ideal for washing a partially loaded dishwasher. This is the perfect daily programme, made to meet the needs

of a family of 4 persons who only wish to load breakfast and dinner crockery and cutlery.

4) Test programme for test institutes.

Washing programmes

25

Select and start a washing programme

Select the washing programme and delay start with the door slightly opened. The
start of the programme or the countdown of the delay start will occur only after

1. Check that the baskets have been loaded correctly and that the spray arms are
free to rotate .

2. Check that the water tap is opened.

3. Press the On/Off button: all the programme lights illuminate (setting mode).

4. Press the button corresponding to the required programme (see "Washing
programmes" chart).

When a programme has been selected the corresponding light will illuminate.
Close the dishwasher's door, the programme starts automatically.

Setting and starting the programme with "delay start"

1. After having selected the washing programme, press the delay start button
until the flashing number of hours for the delay start will appear in the digital
display. You can choose from 1 to 19 hours of delay.

2. Close the dishwasher's door, the countdown starts automatically.
The number in the display is no longer flashing but fixed with static light.

3. The countdown will decrease with steps of 1 hour.

4. The opening of the door will interrupt the countdown.

5. Once the delay start has elapsed the programme will start automatically.

With the delay start function set, the programme in progress indicator light is
off. Once the countdown of the delay start has elapsed, the washing programme
will start automatically and the programme in progress indicator light will illu­minate.

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.

Cancelling the "delay start" and / or a washing programme

• To cancel a delay start in progress you have to reset the dishwasher.

26

Select and start a washing programme

• 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.

WARNING!

Interrupt or cancel a washing programme in progress ONLY if it's absolutely nec­essary. Attention! Hot steam may escape when the door is opened. Open the door
carefully.

Interrupt a washing programme in progress:

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

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

End of the washing programme

• The dishwasher will automatically stop.

• The end of programme indicator light will illuminate.

• The light of the programme just ended will remain on.

• In the digital display appears a zero.

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

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 drip-

ping from the upper basket onto the dishes in the lower one.

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

steel will eventually become cooler than the dishes.

Unloading the dishwasher

27

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 an­ticlockwise and remove the filter sys­tem.

4.

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.

28

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.

8.

Place the coarse filter (A) in the mi-
crofilter (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, scour-

ing 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.

Care and cleaning

29

Prolonged periods of non-operation

If you are not using the machine for any prolonged period of time you are advised
to:

1. Unplug the appliance and then turn off the water.

2. Leave the door ajar to prevent the formation of any unpleasant smells.

3. Leave the inside of the machine clean.

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.

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:

1. Remove the machine's worktop by
unscrewing the two rear retaining
screws, pull the worktop from the
back of the machine and slide out the
front slots, lifting the worktop.

2. Insert the machine after adjusting the
levelling with the adjustable feet.

Installation

35

When inserting the machine, ensure that the water inlet and drain hoses are not
kinked or squashed.

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

Be sure that once the appliance has been installed, it is easily accessible for the
service engineer in the event that a repair is required.

If the dishwasher is later used as a free-standing appliance, the original worktop
must be re-mounted.

The plinth on free-standing appliances is not adjustable.

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 supply connections

Connection to a cold water supply is advised. If connection is made to a hot water
supply the maximum permissible temperature is 60°C. A hot water supply is not
always efficient with very soiled crockery as it shortens the washing programmes
a lot.

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 quick­coupling 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

36

Installation

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 im-

mediately.

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

the Service Force Centre.

• Place the water inlet hose in such a way that it is never higher than the bottom

edge of the safety valve.

WARNING!

Warning! Dangerous voltage.

Installation

37

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 height of
between 40 cm (minimum) and 85 cm (max­imum) from the bottom of the dishwasher.

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
machine is draining as this could cause the
water to syphon back into the machine.

If you use a drain hose extension it must be no longer than 2 metres and its internal
diameter 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.

Installation

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 pre-

cautions.

Packaging material

The packaging materials are environmentally friendly and can be recycled. The
plastic components are identified by markings, e.g. >PE<, >PS<, etc. Please dispose
of the packaging materials in the appropriate container at the community waste
disposal facilities.

WARNING!

When a unit is no longer being used:

• Pull the plug out of the socket.

• Cut off the cable and plug and dispose of them.

• Dispose of the door catch. This prevents children from trapping themselves inside

and endangering their lives.
