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

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, 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.

Use of 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

container 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 container will require topping up periodically.
You are reminded of this by a displayed message REFILL SALT.
This occurs only at the start and at the end of the washing programme; during the

running of the programme the indication for salt refilling is not active.

The refilling salt message can remain visible 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

Use of dishwasher salt

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 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.

The rinse aid container will require topping up periodically.
You are reminded of this by a displayed message REFILL RINSE AID.

Use of rinse aid

15

This occurs only at the start and at the end of the washing programme; during the
running of the programme the indication for rinse aid refilling is not active.

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.

16

Daily use

• 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 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.

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.

24

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.

you choose ("3 in 1", "4 in 1", "5 in 1" etc...).

Check whether these detergents are suitable for your water hardness. See the
manufacturers instructions.

Select the "Multi-Tab function " before the start of a washing programme.
Once this function is selected it will remain active also for the following washing

programmes.
With the selection of this function the inflow of rinse aid and salt from each re-

spective supply container is automatically deactivated and also the displayed
messages for salt and rinse aid are deactivated.

With the use of the "Multi-Tab function", the cycle durations may change. In this
case, in the display, the indication of the running time of the programme is
automatically updated.

Once the programme is running, the "Multi-Tab function " can NO longer be
changed. If you want to exclude the "Multi-Tab function " you have to cancel the
programme setting and then deactivate the "Multi-Tab function ".

Leave the door ajar and wait a few minutes before removing the dishes; in this

way they will be cooler and the drying will be improved

28

Select and start a washing programme

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.

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.

Unloading the dishwasher

29

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.

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.

30

Care and cleaning

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.

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.

Frost precautions

Avoid placing the machine in a location where the temperature is below 0°C. If this
is unavoidable, empty the machine, close the appliance door, disconnect the water
inlet pipe and empty it.

Moving the machine

If you have to move the machine (moving house etc....):

1. Unplug it.

2. Turn the water tap off.

3. Remove the water inlet and discharge hoses.

4. Pull the machine out together with the hoses.

Avoid over tilting the machine during transportation.

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).

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.

Installation

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
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.

38

• 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.

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
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.

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.

39

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.

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.
