During installation

Site the dishwasher and connect it up in accordance with the installation instructions. The dishwasher must not be connected to the electricity supply while installation is being carried out. Ensure that the domestic wiring is properly earthed. The mains electricity supply must conform to the details shown on the dishwasher nameplate. Do not connect the dishwasher to the electricity supply via an extension cable. Built-under and built-in appliances should always be installed under a continuous work surface which is attached to the adjacent cupboards, in order to ensure that the appliance is entirely stable. After the appliance has been installed,the mains plug should still be easily accessible. During installation, the power supply cord must not be excessively or dangerously bent or flattened.

During normal use

The dishwasher must only be used by adults for the washing of household dishes and cooking utensils. This appliance cannot be installed outdoor, not even if the area in which it is installed is covered by a roof; it is also very dangerous to leave it exposed to the rain and elements. Do not place any heavy objects or stand on the door when it is open. The appliance could tip forward. The water inside the dishwasher is not suitable for drinking. Do not use solvents of any kind inside your dishwasher. They could cause an explosion danger. Open the door very carefully if the dishwasher is operating. There is a risk of water squirting out. Do not touch the heating element during or after a wash cycle. Fundamental rules to follow when using the appliance:

- Never touch the dishwasher when barefoot or with wet hands or feet;

- We discourage the use of extension cords and multiple sockets;

Dangerous voltage

Warning

Children could get locked in the appliance (risk of suffocation)

or get stuck in other positions. Therefore: Remove the mains

plug, cut the mains wire and set aside. Damage the door lock so

that the door can no longer be closed.

Installation

Positioning the appliance

Positioning the appliance in the desired location. The back of the appliance should rest against the wall, 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. 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 water supply hose to a threaded 3/4 (gas) connector, making sure that it is fastened tightly in place (see fig.A). Some models are fitted with an "Aquastop" water supply hose (see fig.B) 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.

fig.A

Warning

The appliance is to be connected to the

water mains using new hose-sets and

that old hose-sets should not be reused.

fig.B

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, 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.B. 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

approved

service center.

turn off the power supply and

remove the plug for the

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. If necessary, fit a syphon trap (U-bend) with a connecting piece for the electrical drain hose (fig.C). The free end of the hose must be at a height between 40 and 100 cm and must not be immersed in water.

fig.C

Attention:

The connecting piece for syphon trap (U-bend) must be securely 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 whole cable, 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 safely.

How to fill the salt

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 container

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

When the low salt indicator “I” lights, you must fill the salt. 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 introduce 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.

Important

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

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 table:

Hardness of the water

ORJRM QRJUV QIRJUIV

The default setting of the water softening system is -. - If using multi-functional tablets fill the salt dispenser and set the adjuster to -; if the hardness of the water is greater than 60ºfH, set it to +.
