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 optimise and customise the level of salt consumption so that it remains at a minimum. To adjust salt consumption, proceed as follows:

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.

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 cycle (or when the rinse aid indicator light comes on for models with this feature).

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" dosage adjuster, 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 adjuster should be turned to a higher setting. If the dishes have white streaks, turn the dosage adjuster to a lower setting.

To prevent the formation of rust, load the salt just before beginning a wash cycle.

- Unscrew the cap from the salt container;

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

- If necessary, rotate the ring in the 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 scheme:

Loading the Dishwasher

Turning on the Appliance

Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove larger food particles 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 are soaked before washed. This will eliminate the need for extra wash cycles. Pull out the rack to load the dishwasher.

How to use the lower rack

We recommend that you place the most difficult to clean items on the bottom rack: pots, pans, 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 silverware basket can be doubled (see fig.A) so that only one section may be used when the silverware load is light. This also makes space for additional pots and pans and it can also be placed in the upper rack.

- Silverware should be placed in the silverware basket with the handles at the bottom; if the rack has side baskets, the spoons should be located individually into the appropriate slots. Espe cially long utensils should be placed in the horizontal position at the front of the upper rack.

Starting a wash cycle

- Make sure that the plug for the appliance is inserted into the wall socket.

- Make sure that the water supply is turned on to full pressure.

- Load the dishwasher (see the section entitled, "Loading the Dishwasher").

- Pour in the detergent (see the section entitled, "Salt, Detergent and Rinse Aid").

- Turn the knob located on the right of the control panel in clockwise direction until the number or symbol for the cycle set ting is aligned with the reference mark (see the section entitled, "Wash Cycle Table").

- Press the ON-OFF button, and the ON-OFF light will turn on. At this point, the wash cycle will begin.

At the end of the wash cycle

When the knob stops turning and is aligned with a STOP mark (see figure), the cycle has finished. Turn off the appliance using the ON-OFF button, turn off the water supply and open the door

of the dishwasher. Wait a few minutes before unloading the dishwasher to avoid handling the dishes and utensils while they are still hot and more susceptible to breakage. They will also dry better.

Cancelling or modifying a wash cycle setting

A cycle that is underway can only be modified if it has 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"). Press the ON-OFF button, and the ON light will turn off. Rotate the knob in clockwise direction to the desired cycle setting (see the section entitled: Starting a wash cycle?F. Then, turn the dishwasher back on using the ON-OFF button.

How to use the upper rack

The upper rack is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware, such as glasses, cups and saucers, 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 both sides of the rack itself (see fig.B). Adjust the upper basket to the higher level and you have more space to accommodate those taller pans and trays in the bottom basket.

Shelf

Lean tall glasses and those with long stems against the shelf-not against other items to be washed. Place glasses, cups and small bowls on the additional cup rack. The additional cup rack can be swivelled in or out as required(see fig.C).

Energy Saving Tips

Wash Cycle Table

- It is important to try and run the dishwasher when it is fully

loaded to save on energy. In order to prevent odors from form ing 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.

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

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

Moving the Appliance

If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in the 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 sponge will prevent this from occurring.

No Solvents or Abrasive Cleaning Products

To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. 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 white vinegar, or a cleaning product made specifically for 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.

Cleaning and Special Maintenance

Installation

Filter Assembly

For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be cleaned. The filter efficiently removes food particles 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 an 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 month. To clean the filter and the fine filter, use a cleaning brush. Then, reassemble the filter parts as shown in the figures below and inset 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 performance of the appliance and damage dishes and utensils.

Troubleshooting

It may occur that the dishwasher does not function properly or at all. 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 houses 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.

Cleaning the Spray Arms

It may happen that food particles become encrusted on the sprayer arms and block the hole (see "Close up view [interior]" , letters C-E ). Check the sprayer arms periodically and clean them when needed.

Cleaning the Water Inlet Filter

Periodically clean the water inlet filter 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.

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.

If, despite all these checks, the dishwasher still does not function and/or the problem persists, contact the nearest authorised service agent 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.

Positioning the Appliance

Position 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 ensure correct installation.

Levelling the Appliance

Once the appliance is positioned, adjust the feet (screwing them in or out) to adjust the dishwasher, making it level. 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 and make sure that it is fastened tightly in place (see fig.1). 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.

fig.1

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.

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.2). The free end of the hose must be at a height between 40 and 100 cm and must not be immersed in water.

fig.2

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 sized 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.
