Positioning and levelling

1. Remove the appliance from all packaging and check that it has not been damaged during transportation. If it has been damaged, contact the retailer and do not proceed any further with the installation process.

Connecting the water inlet hose

• To a suitable cold water connection point: before attaching the hose, run the water until it is perfectly clear so that any impurities that may be present in the water do not clog the appliance; after performing this operation, screw the inlet hose tightly onto a tap with a ¾ gas threaded connection.

• To a suitable hot water connection point: your dishwasher may be supplied with hot water from the mains supply (if you have a central heating system with radiators) provided that it does not exceed a temperature of 60°C. Screw the hose to the tap as described for connection to a cold water supply.

If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialist store

or an authorised technician (

The water pressure must be within the values indicated in the

Technical data table (

The hose should not be bent or compressed.

Rinse aid and refined salt

Only use products which have been specifically designed for dishwashers. Do not use table salt or industrial salt, or washing up liquid. Follow the instructions given on the packaging.

If using a multi-functional product it is not necessary to add rinse aid; however, we recommend that you add salt, especially

if you live in an area where the water is hard or very hard.

Follow the instructions given on the packaging.

If you do not add salt or rinse aid, the LOW SALT LOW RINSE AID

* indicator lights remain lit.

* and

Measuring out the rinse aid

Rinse aid makes it easier for the crockery to dry, as water runs off surfaces more readily and therefore does not leave streaks or marks. The rinse aid dispenser should be filled:

• When the LOW RINSE AID panel is illuminated;

into the appliance tub.

Adjusting the amount of rinse aid

If you are not completely satisfied with the drying results, you may adjust the quantity of rinse aid used. Use a screwdriver to turn the dosage adjuster (F) to one of the 6 pre-set positions (the default position is set to 4):

• If there are streaks on the crockery, set the adjustment device

to a lower number (1-3).

• If drops of water remain on the crockery or if there are limescale

marks present after the cycle has finished, set the adjuster to a higher number (4-6).

Setting the water hardness

Every dishwasher is equipped with a water softener which, by using refined salt designed especially for this type of appliance, supplies water without limescale which is then used to wash the crockery.

This dishwasher offers a setting which helps to reduce pollution and optimises washing performance in accordance with the water hardness level in your area. This information can be obtained from the organisation which supplies your household with water.

The water hardness adjustment procedure may vary depending on the dishwasher model purchased.

- Switch on the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.

- Press and hold the P button for a few seconds; after a short beep sounds, the water hardness setting will appear on the display and the Start/Pause button will begin to flash (the default water softening system setting is level

- Press the P button repeatedly until the desired hardness level has been reached (1-2-3-4-5 selected water hardness value will appear on the display.

Measuring out the refined salt

In order to achieve the best possible results using a wash cycle, make sure that the dispenser is never empty. Refined salt removes limescale from the water, thus avoiding the formation of deposits on crockery. The salt dispenser is located in the lower part of the dishwasher (

see Description

• When the green float cap of the salt dispenser.

• When the LOW SALT* indicator light on the control panel is

illuminated;

should hold approximately 1 kg); it is not unusual for a little water to leak out.

4. Remove the funnel* and wipe any salt residue away from the

opening; rinse the cap under running water and then screw it on, the head facing downwards so as to let the water flow out of the four cracks which are arranged in a star shape on the lower part of the cap. (the container cap with the green float*)

It is advisable to perform this procedure every time you add salt to the container.

Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly, so that no detergent can get into the container during the wash cycle (this could

damage the water softener beyond repair).

When necessary, measure out the salt before a wash cycle so that any saline solution which has leaked out of the salt dispenser is removed.

Care and maintenance

Shutting off the water and electricity supplies

• Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle to avoid leaks.

• Always unplug the appliance when cleaning it and when performing maintenance work.

Cleaning the dishwasher

• The external surfaces of the machine and the control panel may be cleaned using a non-abrasive cloth which has been dampened with water. Do not use solvents or abrasive products.

• Any marks on the inside of the appliance may be removed using a cloth dampened with water and a little vinegar.

Preventing unpleasant odours

• Always keep the door of the appliance ajar in order to avoid moisture from forming and being trapped inside the machine.

• Clean the seals around the door and detergent dispensers regularly using a damp sponge. This will avoid food becoming trapped in the seals, which is the main cause behind the formation of unpleasant odours.

Cleaning the sprayer arms

Food residue may become encrusted onto the sprayer arms and block the holes used to spray the water. It is therefore recommended that the arms are checked from time to time and cleaned with a small non-metallic brush. The two sprayer arms may both be removed.

To remove the upper sprayer arm, rotate the locking ring in an anti-clockwise direction. The upper sprayer arm should be replaced with the holes facing upwards.

Clean the water inlet filter at the tap outlet regularly.

- Turn off the water tap.

- Unscrew the end of the water inlet hose, remove the filter and clean it carefully under running water.

- Replace the filter and screw the water hose back into position.

Cleaning the filters

The filter assembly consists of three filters which remove food residues from the washing water and then recirculate the water. They should be cleaned if you wish to achieve the best results in every wash.

Clean the filters regularly. The dishwasher should not be used without filters, or if

the filter is loose.

• After several washes, check the filter assembly and if necessary clean it thoroughly under running water, using a non-metallic brush and following the instructions below:

1.1.

1. Turn the cylindrical filter C in an anti-clockwise direction

1.1. and pull it out (fig. 1).

2.2.

2. Remove the cup filter B by exerting a slight pressure on

2.2. the side flaps (fig. 2).

3.3.

3. Slide out the stainless steel plate filter A (fig. 3).

3.3.

Inspect the trap and remove any food residue. NEVER REMOVE the wash cycle pump (black detail)

(fig. 4)

The lower sprayer arm can be removed by pressing on the side tabs and pulling it upwards.

Cleaning the water inlet filter*

If the water hoses are new or have not been used for an extended period of time, let the water run to make sure it is clear and free of impurities before performing the necessary connections. If this precaution is not taken, the water inlet could become blocked and damage the dishwasher.

After cleaning the filters, replace the filter assembly and fix it in position correctly; this is essential for maintaining the efficient operation of the dishwasher.

Leaving the machine unused for extended periods

• Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply and

shut off the water tap.

• Leave the door of the appliance ajar.

• When you return, run a wash cycle when the dishwasher

is empty.

• We strongly recommend that you use detergents that do not contain phosphates or chlorine, as these products are harmful to the environment.

• Enzymes provide a particularly effective action at temperatures around 50°C, and as a result detergents containing enzymes can be used in conjunction with low-temperature wash cycles in order to achieve the same results as a normal 65°C wash cycle.

• To avoid wasting detergent, use the product in appropriate quantities based on the manufacturer’s recommendations, the hardness of the water and the soil level and quantity of crockery to be washed. Even if they are biodegradable, detergents

contain substances which may alter the balance of nature.

Assistance

Disposal

• Disposal of packaging materials: observe local legislation so that the packaging may be reused.

• The European Directive 2002/96/EC relating to Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states that household appliances should not be disposed of using the normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted appliances should be collected separately in order to optimise the cost of re-using and recycling the materials inside the machine, while preventing potential damage to the atmosphere and to public health. The crossed-out dustbin is marked on all products to remind the owner of their obligations regarding separated waste collection.

For further information relating to the correct disposal of household appliances, owners may contact the relevant public authority or the local appliance dealer.
