The dishwasher is designed for normal kitchen utensils. Objects that have been contamined by petrol, paint, traces of steel or iron, corrosive chemicals, acids or alkalis must not be washed in the dishwasher.

WARNING:

Knives and other utensils with sharp points must be loaded in the basket with their points down or placed in a horizontal position.

Electrical connections and safety instructions

If there is a water softening device installed in the home there is no need to add salt to the water softener fitted in the dishwasher.

If the appliance breaks down or stops working properly, switch it off, turn off the water supply and do not tamper with it. Repair work should only be carried out by an approved service agent and only genuine spare parts should be fitted. Any failure to follow the above advice may have serious consequences for the safety of the appliance.

! If it you need to move the

machine after removing the packaging, do not try to lift it by the bottom of the door. Open the door slightly and lift the machine by holding on the top.

By marking this product, we confirm, under our own responsibility, full compliance of this product with all relevant safety, health and environmental requirements under European legislation.

Remove all elements of the packaging.

! Do not install or use the

dishwasher if it is damaged.

Follow the instructions supplied with the product.

Installation

WARNING:

Keep packaging materials away from children.

2. WATER SUPPLY

! The inlet and drain hoses can be directed

to left or right.

Water pressure must be between 0,08 MPa and 0,8 MPa.

The inlet hose must be connected to a tap so that the water supply can be cut off when the machine is not in use (fig. 1 B).

! The dishwasher is fitted with 3/4" threaded

connector (fig. 2).

! Connect inlet hose “A” to water tap “B”

with a 3/4" attachment making sure that it has been properly tightened.

! If it is necessary, the inlet pipe can be

lengthened up to 2,5 m. The extension pipe is available from the After Sales Service Centre.

! If the dishwasher is connected to new pipes

or to pipes which have not been inuse for a long time run water through for a few minutes before connecting the inlet hose. In this way no deposits of sand or rust will clog up the water inflow filter.

The appliance must be connected to the water mains using new hose-sets. The old hose-sets should not be reused.

The dishwasher can be connected to either cold or hot water, as long as it is no hotter than 60°C.

Some models may include one or more of the following features:

WATERBLOCK (fig. 3)

The waterblock system has been designed to improve the safety of your appliance. The waterblock system actually prevents flooding which might be caused by a machine malfunction or as a result of a fracture on the pipes.

How does waterblock work

Sump located in the base of the appliance collects any possible water leakage and operates a sensor which subsequently activates a valve placed under the water tap and stops any water from the supply even with the tap fully opened. If the box “A” containing the electrical parts is damaged, remove the plug from the socket immediately. To ensure perfect operation of the safety system, box “A” with the hose, should be connected to the tap as shown in figure. The inlet hose should not be cut, as it contains parts under load. If the hose is not long enough for correct connection, it must be replaced with a longer one. The hose can be obtained from your Service Agent.

! AQUASTOP (fig. 4):

A device located on the supply tube that stops water flow if the tube deteriorates; in this case, a red mark will appear in the window “A” and the tube must be replaced. To unscrew the nut, press the one-way lock device "B".

AQUAPROTECT - SUPPLY TUBE WITH GUARD

(fig. 5):

Should water leak from the primary internal tube "A", the transparent containment sheath "B " will contain water to permit the washing cycle to complete. At the end of the cycle, contact the Customer Service Centre to replace the supply tube.

Hydraulic safety devices

These dishwashers are also equipped with an anti-overflow safety device which, if water exceeds normal levels due to malfunctions, automatically blocks water flow and/or drains excess quantities.

! The outlet hose should disharge into a

standpipe, making sure that there are no kinks (fig. 6).

! The standpipe must be at least 40 cm

above floor level and it must have an internal diameter of at least 4 cm.

! It is advisable to fit an anti-odour air trap

(fig. 6X). If necessary the outlet hose can be extended up to 2,5 m, provided that it is kept at a maximum height of 85 cm above floor level. The extension pipe is available from the After Sales Service Centre.

! The hose can be hooked over the side of

the sink, but it must not be immersed in water, in order to prevent water from being syphoned back to the machine when this is in operation (fig. 6Y).

! When installing the appliance under a

worktop the hose pipe clamp must be attached to the wall in the highest possible position under the worktop (fig. 6Z).

! Check that there are no kinks in the inlet

and outlet hoses.

Connecting the outlet hose

3. LOADING THE SALT

(Fig. A "1")

! The appearance of white stains on dishes

is generally a warning sign that the salt container needs filling.

! On the bottom of the machine there is a

container for the salt for regenerating the softener.

! It is important to use only a salt that is

specifically designed for dishwasher. Other types of salt contain small quantities of insoluble particles which over a long period of time may affect and deteriorate the softener performance.

! To add salt, unscrew the cap of the

container on the bottom and then refill the container.

! During this operation a little water will

overflow; but keep adding salt until the container is full. When the container is full, clean the thread of salt residue and retighten the tap.

! After loading the salt, it is recommended

running a complete washing cycle, or COLD RINSE programme.

! The salt dispenser has a capacity of

between 1.5 and 1.8 kg and, for efficient use of the appliance, it should be refilled from time to time .

After loading the salt, YOU MUST run a complete washing cycle, or the PRE-WASH/COLD RINSE/REFRESH programme.

(Only for first start up) When the appliance is used for the first time, after completely filling the salt container, it is necessary to add water until the container overflows.

4. ADJUSTMENT THE UPPER BASKET

If 29 cm to 32.5 cm plates are regularly used, load them onto the lower basket after the upper basket has been placed in its upper position, as detailed below (according to the model):

Type "A":

Turn front blocks "A" outwards;

Remove the basket and remount it in the upper position;

3. Replace blocks "A" in the original position.

Dishes that are greater than 20 cm in diameter can no longer be loaded onto the upper basket, and the mobile supports cannot be used when the basket is in the upper position.

Type "A"

Type "B":

(ONLY MODELS WITH EASY CLICK):

Remove the upper basket;

Hold the basket on both sides and lift it upwards (fig. 1).

Dishes that are greater than 20 cm* in diameter can no longer be loaded onto the upper basket, and the mobile supports cannot be used when the basket is in the upper position.

* In models fitted with a third basket, dishes measuring more than 14 cm in diameter can no longer be loaded onto the upper basket.

ADJUSTING THE BASKET TO THE LOWER POSITION:

Hold the basket on both sides and lift it gently upwards (fig. 1);

Then slowly release into the correct position (fig. 2).

N.B.: NEVER LIFT OR LOWER THE BASKET FROM ONE SIDE ONLY (fig. 3).

WARNING:

We recommend adjusting the basket before loading the dishes.

Type "B"

5. ADJUSTING THE DISHES

! The upper basket is provided with mobile

racks hooked to the sides of the basket, which can be regulated into 4 positions.

! In the lowered position (A-A1) the racks

may be used for such items as: tea and coffee cups, kitchen knives and ladles. Also glasses with stems may be safely hung on the ends of the racks.

In the upright position (B-B1) the racks allow you to load dinner plates and soup plates. Plates should be loaded vertically with the underside of the plate towards the back of the dishwasher with a space between each plate to allow water to pass freely.

! It is advisable to load large plates

(approx. 26 or more cm) slightly tilted towards the rear to facilitate introduction of the basket into the machine.

! Salad bowls and plastic bowls may also

be loaded on the upper basket. It is advisable to block these in place so that the jets of water do not make them overturn.

The upper basket has been designed to offer maximum flexibility in use and can be loaded with up to 24 plates on two rows, up to 30 glasses on five rows or a mixed load.

example of loading see fig. 1, 2 e 3.
