Detergent and Rinse Aid

GB

Salt

The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard
water is used in the dishwasher, deposits will form on the dishes
and utensils.
The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses a salt
specifically designed to eliminate lime and minerals from the water.

Loading the Salt into the Softener

Always use salt intended for use with dishwashers.
The salt container is located beneath the lower rack and should
be filled as follows:

- Remove the lower rack and then unscrew and remove the cap
from the salt container;

- If you are filling the container for the first time, fill it with water;

- Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and intro­ duce about 2 kg of salt. It is normal for a small amount of water
to come out of the salt container.

- Carefully screw the cap back on.

Adjusting Salt Consumption

The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjusting the amount of
salt consumed based on the hardness of the water used. This is
intended to optimize and customize the level of salt consumption
so that it remains at a minimum.

To adjust salt consumption, proceed as follows:

- Unscrew the cap from the salt container;

- There is a ring on the container with an arrow on it (see figure to
the side),

- If necessary, rotate the ring in an anticlockwise direction from
the "-" setting towards the "+" sign, based on the hardness of
the water being used.
It is recommended that adjustments be made in accordance
with the following schema:

Detergent

Detergent specifically intended for use with dishwashers must
be used. The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each
wash cycle following the instructions provided in the "Wash Cycle
Table." The detergent dispenser is located on the inside panel
the door.

Loading the detergent

To open the "A" cover on the dispenser, press the "B" button.
The detergent for the wash cycle should be poured into the "C"
compartment.
After the detergent has been placed in the dispenser, close the
cover and press down until it clicks in place.

C

B

Notice: To facilitate closing the cover, remove any ex­cess detergent on the edges of the dispenser.

Rinse Aid

This product makes dishes sparkle and helps them to dry with­out spotting. The dispenser is located on the inside panel of the
door and should be filled after every 80 wash cycles (or when
the "low rinse aid" indicator light comes on for those models
with this feature).

Loading the Rinse Aid

Regardless of the type of detergent dispenser installed on your
appliance, you must proceed as indicated below when loading
the rinse aid.
To open the dispenser, turn the "C" cap in an anti-clockwise
direction and then pour in the rinse aid, making sure not to overfill.
The amount of rinse aid used for each cycle can be regulated by
turning the "F" dose adjustor, located beneath the "C" cap, with
a screwdriver. There are 6 different settings; the normal dosage
setting is 3.

Important

Proper dosage of the rinse aid improves drying.
If drops of water remain on the dishes or spotting occurs,
the dosage adjustor should be turned to a higher setting.
If the dishes have white streaks, turn the dosage adjustor
to a lower setting.

Loading the Dishwasher

GB

Starting the Appliance

GB

Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove the larger
food debris to prevent the filter from becoming clogged, which
results in reduced performance.
If the pots and pans have baked-on food that is extremely hard
to remove, we recommend that they be allowed to soak before
they are washed. This will eliminate the need for extra wash
cycles.
Pull out the rack to facilitate loading the dishwasher.

How to Use the Lower Rack

We recommend that you place the most difficult to clean items
on the lower rack: pots, lids, serving dishes and bowls, as shown
in the figure to the right.
It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the sides of
the racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation of the top spray
arm.

- Pots, serving bowls, etc. must always be placed face down.

- Deep pots should be slanted to allow the water to flow out.

- The cutlery basket can be doubled (see fig.A) so that
only one section may be used when the cutlery ware load is
light. This also makes space for additional pots and pans, and it
can also be placed in the upper rack.

- Cutlery should be placed in the cutlery basket with the handles
at the bottom; if the rack has side baskets, the spoons should
be placed individually into the appropriate slots. Especially long
utensils should be placed in the horizontal position at the front
of the upper rack.

How to Use the Upper Rack

The upper rack is designed to hold more delicate and lighter
dishware, such as glasses, coffee and tea cups and saucers,
as well as plates, small bowls and shallow pans (as long as
they are not too dirty).

- Position the dishes and cookware so that they do not get
moved by the spray of water.
The upper rack can be adjusted for height by using the
knobs located on the sides of the rack itself (see fig.C).

Starting a wash cycle

After having completed all of the installation steps in the preced­ing paragraphs, turn on the water to the unit, partially open the
door of the dishwasher, and press the ON-OFF button "A" lo­cated on the control panel. The "B" indicator light will come on.
At this point, the appliance is on and ready to be programmed.

Setting and Starting a wash Cycle

Choose the desired cycle by pressing the cycle selection button
"P". Each time it is pressed, one of the cycle indicator lights "M"
will come on in succession.
Choose the wash cycle you feel is most appropriate for the type
of dishes that need washing (consult the wash cycle table con­tained in this manual, especially when first using the appliance).
Close the door and after a few seconds, a short acoustic signal
will sound indicating that the wash cycle has begun and cannot
be modified. If necessary, read the paragraph entitled, "Cancel­ling or modifying a cycle while underway. "The end of the cycle
will be signalled by a double acoustic sound, and the indicator
light "M" will begin to blink.

Cancelling or modifying a cycle while underway...

Premise: A cycle that is underway can only be modified if it has
only been running for a short time.

Otherwise, the detergent may have already been used, and the
appliance may have already drained the wash water. If this is the
case, the detergent dispenser must be refilled (see the paragraph
entitled, "Loading the Detergent").

To change the cycle currently underway, open the door, press
the "P" programming button and hold it in for about 5 seconds.
Once the cycle has been cancelled, the dishwasher will emit a
short acoustic sound and the relative indicator light will turn off.

At the end of the wash cycle...

The end of the cycle will be indicated by a double acoustical
signal and the blinking of the "M" indicator light. Open the door,
turn off the appliance using the ON/OFF switch and turn off the
water supply to the unit. Wait a few minutes before removing the
dishes so as to avoid handling them while still hot (when they
are more susceptible to breakage) and to get better drying results.

Setting The Start Delay Time

Open the door of the dishwasher partially. If the "C" button is
pressed (see, Close-up View" Control Panel"). The start time for
the wash cycle can be delayed for 2,4 or 6 hours.
Each time the button is pressed, the "D" light will come on indi­cating the length of the delay.
After selecting the delay time, the wash cycle can be set, as
explained in "Starting a wash cycle..." There will be a short acous­tic signal, and at this point the delay period will begin to count
down. During this period the delay indicator light (D) will blink. At
the end of the delay time, the indicator will stop blinking and the
cycle will start.

NOTE:

a) During the delay period, none of the settings can be modified.
If necessary, they can be cancelled by pressing cycle selector
"P" for about 5 seconds.
b) If the power to the appliance goes off or the door is opened
during the delay period, the clock will stop the countdown. It will
start again when the power has come back on, or when the door
has been closed.

-It is important to try and run the dishwasher when it is fully
loaded in order to save on energy. In order to prevent odors
from forming and food from caking onto the dishes, you can run
the hold cycle.

-Choose the right wash cycle: the choice of cycle depends on
the type of dishware, cookware and utensils being washed and
how dirty they are.

How to keep Your Dishwasher in Shape

After Every Wash

After every wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance and
leave the door slightly ajar so that moisture and odors are not
trapped inside.

Remove the plug

Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the
plug from the socket. Do not run risks.

No solvents or Abrasive Cleaning Products

To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not
use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. Rather, use only a
cloth and warm soapy water.
To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use a
cloth dampened with water and a little while vinegar, or cleaning
product made specifically for dishwashers.

Cleaning and Special Maintenance

Filter Assembly

For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be
cleaned frequently.
The filter efficiently removes food residue from the wash water,
allowing it to be recirculated during the cycle. For this reason, it
is a good idea to remove the larger food particles trapped in the
filter after each wash cycle by rinsing the "A" semi-circular filter
and cup under running water. To remove the filter assembly, pull
on the cup handle in the upward direction. The entire filter as­sembly (made up of the "A" semicircular filter and the "B" fine
filter) should be cleaned at least once a week.
To clean the filter and the fine filter, use a cleaning brush. Then,
reassemble the filter parts as shown in the figures below and
reinsert the entire assembly in the dishwasher, positioning in its
seat and pressing downward.

The dishwasher must never be
used without the filters. Improper
replacement of the filters may re­duce level of the appliance and
damage dishes and utensils.

.8.

-Use the right amount of detergent: if you use too much deter­gent, the result will not be cleaner dishes, but, rather, a greater
negative impact on the environment.

-There is no advantage in rinsing dishes, cookware and utensils
before placing them in the dishwasher.

When You Go on Holiday

When you go on holiday, it is recommended that you run a wash
cycle with the dishwasher empty and then remove the plug from
the socket, turn off the water supply and leave the door of the
appliance slightly ajar. This will help the seals last longer and
prevent odors from forming within the appliance.

Moving the Appliance

If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in a vertical position.
If absolutely necessary, it can be positioned on its back.

Seals

One of the factors that cause odors to form in the dishwasher is
food that remains trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning with a
damp sponge will prevent this from occurring.

Cleaning the Spray Arms

It may happen that food particle become encrusted on the spray
arms and block the holes. Check the spray arms periodically and
clean them when needed.

A

B

Cleaning the Water Inlet Filter

Periodically clean the water inlet filter (see figure) located on the
outlet of the water supply tap.
After turning off the water tap, unscrew the end of the water sup­ply hose, remove the filter and clean it carefully under running
water. Then, return the filter to its place and tighten the water
supply hose back into position.

Troubleshooting

Installation

GB

It may occur that the dishwasher does not function or does not
function properly. Before calling for assistance, Iet us see what
can be done first: have you forgotten to press one of the buttons
or to perform an essential operation?

The Dishwasher Does Not Start

Have you checked whether:

- the plug is pushed into the socket correctly;

- the power is on in the house;

- the door is closed properly;

- the ON-OFF switch is on "ON";

- the water supply is turned on.

The Dishwasher Does Not Load Water

Have you checked whether:

- the water is turned on and the hose is connected properly;

- the water supply to the house is on and has sufficient pressure;

- the water supply hose is crimped or bent;

- the filter for the water supply hose is clogged.

The Dishes Are Not Clean

Have you checked whether:

- the water is turned on and the hose is connected properly;

- the water supply to the house is on and has sufficient pressure;

- the water supply hose is crimped or bent;

- the filter for the water supply hose is clogged.

The Dishwasher Does Not Drain

Have you checked whether:

- the drain hose is crimped or bent.

Lime Deposits or a White Film Form on the Dishes

Have you checked whether:

- the lid to the salt container is closed properly;

- the rinse aid dosage is correct.

Error Messages

The dishwasher is equipped with a safety system that is able to
detect operating problems and malfunctions. These malfunctions
are signalled by the rapid blinking of one of the "M" program LEDs.
Only in the case where the indicator light for the soak cycle (see
table for cycles) blinks rapidly should you cancel the cycle as
described in the section entitled, "Changing a Cycle while Under­way." Then check to make sure that there is water in the mains
and that the tap is turned on. If the message continues, call for
technical assistance, indicating which message appeared.
If any of the other indicator lights begins to blink rapidly, turn off
the appliance and call for technical assistance, indicating which
light began to blink.

If, despite all these checks, the dishwasher still does not function
and/or the problem persists, contact the nearest authorised ser­vice centre and provide them with the following information:

- the nature of the problem;

- the model type number (Mod...) And the
serial number (S/N...), which are indicated on the plate located
on the side of the inner part of the door.

Never call on unauthorised technicians and refuse to
allow parts to be installed that are not original spare
parts.

.9.

Positioning the Appliance

Positioning the appliance in the desired location. The back should
rest against the wall behind it, and the sides, along the adjacent
cabinets or wall. The dishwasher is equipped with water supply
and drain hoses that can be positioned to the right or the left to
facilitate proper installation.

Levelling the Appliance

Once the appliance is positioned, adjust the feet (screwing them
in or out) to adjust the dishwasher, making it level. In any case,
the appliance should not be inclined more than 2˚. If the appli­ance is level, it will help ensure proper performance.

Cold Water Connection

Connect the cold water supply hose to a threaded 3/4 (gas)
connector, making sure that it is fastened tightly in place (see fig.

2).
Some models are fitted with an "Aquastop" water supply hose
(see fig.1) in which the small filter is already housed in the
threaded end.
If the water pipes are new or have not been used for an extended
period of time, let the water run to make sure that the water is
clear and free of impurities. If this precaution is not taken, there
is a risk that the water inlet can get blocked and damage the
appliance.

Hot Water Connection

The water supply to the appliance can also be connected to the
house's hot water line (centralised system, heating system), as
long as it does not exceed a temperature of 60
In this case,the wash cycle time will be shortened by about 15
minutes and the wash efficiency slightly reduced.
The connection must be made to the hot water line following the
same procedures as those for the connection to the cold water
line.

.

fig.2

Anti-Flooding Protection

The dishwasher is equipped with a system that stops the supply
of water in the event of a problem with the water supply hose, or
leaks within the unit, in order to prevent damage to your home. If
for any reason the box containing the electrical components hap­pens to get damaged, remove the plug for the appliance from
the socket immediately. In order to guarantee that the anti-flood­ing feature operates properly, the "A" box with water supply hose
must be attached to the water supply tap as shown in Fig .1. No
other type of connection is acceptable.

The water supply hose must not, under any circumstances, be
cut, as it contains electrical parts which are live. If the length of
the hose is not adequate to make a proper connection, the hose
must be replaced with one which is long enough. This hose is
available upon request from specialised retailers and service cen­tres.

fig.1

Drain Hose Connection

Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe with a minimum diameter
of 4cm, Or let it run into the sink, making sure to avoid bending
or crimping it. Use the special plastic support that comes with
the appliance (see fig.3). The free end of the hose must be at a
height between 40 and 100 cm and must not be immersed in
water.

MAX100 MIN 4

fig.3

Attention:

The special plastic hose support must be solidly fastened to the
wall to prevent the drain hose from moving and allowing water to
spill outside the drain.

Electrical Connection

After making sure that the voltage and frequency values for the
current in the home correspond to those on the rating plate
(located on the stainless steel inner door of the appliance) and
that the electrical system is correct for the maximum voltage on
the rating plate, insert the plug into an electrical socket which is
earthed properly (the earthing of the appliance is a safety re­quirement mandated by law).
If the electrical socket to which the appliance must be connected
is not appropriate for the plug, replace the plug, rather than us­ing adaptors or the like as they could cause overheating and
burns.

Caution:

The dishwasher plug must be accessible even when the appli­ance is installed as a built-in unit so that maintenance can be
done safety.
