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:

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.

B

A

C

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.

Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove the large 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 be allowed to soak before they
are washed. This will eliminate the need for extra wash cycle.
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 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 cutlery basket can not be doubled (see fig.A) .

- Cutlery should be placed in the cutlery basket with the handles at
the bottom; if the rack has side baskets, the spoons should be
located 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. (See fig.B)



Setting and Starting a wash Cycle

Choose the desired cycle by pressing the cycle selection button
"E". Each time it is pressed, one of the cycle indicator lights "A"
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 "A" will begin to blink.

Cancelling or modifying a cycle while underway...

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 and press
the ON-OFF button “C”,follow the instructions contained in the
paragraph entitled, "Setting and Starting a Wash Cycle."

If you forget to load some of the dishes...

The wash cycle can be interrupted by opening the door carefully
(in order to avoid being sprayed by hot water). When the door is
closed again, the cycle will automatically restart at the point where
it left off.

At the end of the wash cycle...

The end of the cycle will be indicated by a double acoustic signal
and the blinking of the "A" 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 "I" 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 "H" 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 “H”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
"E" 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.

Energy Saving Tips

GB

Troubleshooting

GB

-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 soak 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 take 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 white 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 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
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.

-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(see”Close up view(interior)”letters C­G). Check the spray arms periodically and clean them when
needed.

B

Cleaning the Water Inlet Filter

Periodically clean the water inlet filter (see fig) 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.

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 "A" 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.

Installation

GB

Installation cont..

GB

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
facilitate proper installation.

Levelling the Appliance

Once the appliance is positioned, adjust the feet (screw 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, inserting the small filter supplied with the dishwasher
and making 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.

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 (UK ONLY)

For your safety please read the following information.

Warning: This appliance must be earthed.

The appliance must be connected to a 220-240 volts 50 cycle
AC supply by means of a three pin socket, suitably earthed and
should be protected by a 13 amp fuse in the plug or a 15 amp
fuse in the consumer unit.
The appliance is supplied with a moulded 13 amp 3 pin mains
plug fitted with a 13 amp fuse. Should the fuse require
replacement, it must be replaced with a fuse rated at 13 amp
and approved to BS1362.
The plug contains a removable fuse cover that must be refitted
when the fuse is replaced. In the event of the fuse cover being
lost or damaged, the plug must not be used until a replacement
cover has been obtained.
If the moulded mains plug is unsuitable for the socket outlet in
your home or is removed for any other reason, then the fuse
should be removed and the cut off plug disposed of safely to
prevent the hazard of electric shock.
There is a danger of electric shock if the cut off plug is inserted
into any 13 amp socket outlet.

Stage 1

Supplied with the appliance is a plastic
(self adhesive) anticondensation strip,
this should be fixed to the underside of
your worktop along the front edge. The
adjustable feet of the appliance allow it
to be raised up to 870mm, if the space
between the floor and the underside of
the work surface is greater than 870mm,
then the appliance should be positioned on suitable wooden spac­ers which should always be fixed to the floor. Always use a spirit
level to make sure that the appliance is level left to right and
front to back.(If the appliance is installed on a carpet, ensure
there is clearance beneath the appliance). The four adjustable
feet should be adjusted to the correct height; the rear feet are
adjustable via studs at the front of the appliance (fig 1a).

To prevent damage to the floor covering, the appliance must be
installed using the plastic skids provided.
