IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING – When using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:

a) Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
b) Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.
c) Use only detergents or wetting agents recommended for use in a dishwasher and keep

them out of the reach of children.

d) When loading items to be washed:

1) locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal; and

2) load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.

e) Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked “dishwasher safe” or the equivalent.

For plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Note: This statement may be omitted for an appliance that employs a heating element that
is located or guarded such that melted plastic items are not likely to contact it.

f) Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.
g) Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.
h) Do not tamper with controls.
i) Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish rack of the dishwasher.
j) To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on a dishwasher.
k) Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot-water system that

has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot­water system has not been used for such a period, before using the dishwasher turn
on all hot-water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will
release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use
an open flame during this time.

l) Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from

service or discarding it.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will

reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.
This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING – Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative if you are in doubt
whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance;
if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

El lavavajillas está The
dishwasher is equipped
with a high pressure water
connection pipe with a
3/4 (1.905 cm) directional
internal pipe thread at
normal temperature and
pressure values (NPT).

In order to make its
installation easier, the
dishwasher includes a
3/8” (0.9525 cm) brass
compression part for 3/4
NPT which adapts the
pipe connector to a 3/8”
compression part which
incorporates the majority
of the valves which close
the water connection for
domestic dishwashers.
Alternatively, the pipe can
be coupled directly to a
male 3/4 brass NPT
connector which is
available in most
hardware stores.

Adjust the direction of the
pipe and the connection
which comes out of the
rear part of the appliance
following the installation
instructions.

WARNING

The hose has to pass
between the wall and the
bottom space at the back
of the dishwasher (b1),
so that it is not squashed
or too rigid (b2).

fasten it to the lower part
of the worktop. Lower it
again to the drainage
connection point
following these
instructions:

1. The connection with
the drain pipe must be
at least 10” (25,4 cm)
from the floor.

2. The connection with
the drain pipe must be
no higher than 35” (88.9
cm) from the floor.

In order to make

IMPORTANT

It is important that the bend of the drainage hose is properly anchored in the outlet to avoid
falling out and the consequent risk of flooding. The (minimum and maximum) water operating
pressure must fall between 0.05 and 0.1 Mpa. Make sure that the connector for the appliance’s
lower pipe is properly adjusted before installing.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

3

English

Please refer to the
specifications label on
the top edge of the door,
before making electrical
connections. Make sure
than the voltage sent to
the plug socket is the
voltage which appears
on the label.

The dishwasher requires
an earthed 120 V, 15
Amp, 60 Hz plug
socket.

The dishwasher is fitted
with a flexible power
cable, ending in a three
pin earth plug which
can be connected to a
socket.

The socket for the
dishwasher must be
located in a cabinet or
a wall next to the gap
under the worktop
where the appliance is
going to be installed.

Make a hole with
maximum diameter of 1­1/2 “(38 mm) in the
cabinet wall through
which the plug and the
cable can be passed.

Instructions for the
edges of this hole:

Wooden cabinets: the
edge must be filed and
rounded.

Metal cabinets: request
a special eyelet to be
made by the service
workshop.

When installing or
moving the dishwasher,
take care not to damage
the power cable.

IMPORTANT

Inside the door, on the top edge, you will find the
specifications label. This label should never be
removed, as it gives information about the exact model
of the dishwasher, power supply, series number and
warranty.

IMPORTANT

It is very important that the dishwasher is connected to
earth. The electrical installation, plug, socket, fuses or
circuit breaker and meter must be capable of managing
the maximum power indicated on the specifications label.
If the power cable is damaged, it can only be substituted
by the manufacturer, After Sales Department, or authorized
personnel. In the event of insertion and integration, the
plug must be accessible after installation.

DISHWASHER

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - A FEW PRACTICAL TIPS

RINSE-AID AND DETERGENT

1

The rinse-aid helps
drying and prevents
drops of water forming
on the dishes after
washing. The rinse-aid
compartment is inside
the door, next to the
detergent.

The compartment has a
4 position dispenser to
adjust the quantity of
rinse-aid depending on
the water quality (the
dispenser leaves the
factory in position 2).

If drops of water can be
seen on the dishes,
increase the number on
the rinse-aid dispenser.
If the dishes have white
or sticky lines, reduce
the number.

Once the level of the

a

dispenser has been
set, fill the
compartment to the
top, without
overflowing. If it does
overflow, clean the
extra off with a cloth.

RINSEAID COMPARTMENT

a

IMPORTANT

The dishes will not be cleaner by adding more rinse-aid.
On the contrary, excess can produce stains.

DISPENSER

English

When should you add
more rinse-aid?

The dishwasher itself will
tell you when you need to
top up the rinse-aid.
Depending on the model,
there are two types of
indicator: window or pilot
light.

The detergent is poured
into a compartment inside
the door, next to the rinse­aid compartment.

Once the detergent

a

has been poured in,
close the
compartment cover.

b

Some programs also
require part of the
dose to be put in the
slot in the
compartment cover.

Detergents come in
tablet, powder and liquid
form.

Detergent type only use
detergent specifically for
dishwashers.

Detergent quantity: See
table on page 18.

SELECTING ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS

4

The wash functions must always be selected after choosing the wash program. Any change
of program during selection cancels out the previously selected functions.

These functions allow specific adjustments on the wash load, timing and consumption.

The additional functions depend on the model:

Button: Time delay

Allows you to delay wash
start. There are models
which can delay the wash
by 3, 6 or 9 hours. In this
case, pressing the time
delay button lights up a
pilot light showing the
selected option.
In other models, you can
choose the time you wish
to delay the wash from 1
to 9 hours with 1 hourly
intervals. Ideal to make
the most of economy
electricity at night. For
these models, pressing
the time delay button, the
display will show how
many hours you wish to
delay the wash start.

IMPORTANT

If the program is
changed or the ON

pressed whilst
additional functions
are being selected,
all selected functions
are cancelled.

Button: Top / Low
load

This uses only half the
dishwasher capacity. Top
Load, in the top rack for
more delicate pieces, and
Low Load, in the low rack,
for very dirty pans or
dishes. Valid for all
programs.

ECOLOGICAL WASHING

If the model has an Eco-Sensor, 25% of water can be saved using the Intensive
or Normal program. The Eco-Sensor detects how dirty the pre-wash water is and,
if clean enough, reuses it for the wash.

19

START UP

5

Once the wash program has been chosen and the additional functions selected, close
the dishwasher door and it will start up automatically.

BASIC RECCOMMENDATIONS

8

There are a series of issues which must be taken into consideration to help your dishwasher last
longer and wash better.

a

Fill the dishwasher. Try to make the most of the dishwasher capacity and so reduce
water and electricity consumption and lead to quieter operation.

Position the dishes properly. For optimum wash quality, the water spray arms must

b

turn freely without obstacles. In the same way, the pieces must be correctly positioned for
the water jet to reach them.

c

Choice of program. Choose the wash program and the additional functions properly,
according to your needs.

d

Cleaning. Clean the filters and the water spray arms every three months. Also make sure
that they are correctly refitted.

DISHWASHER

APPLIANCE MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
