How to load your dishes
Before washing, a few small steps can help you get a better wash and keep your dishwasher for longer. Remove the largest scraps
of food left over on your plates, soak saucepans and frying pans with tough incrustations. After loading your dishes, make sure
the blades on the sprayer arm turn well
First of all.
Before placing the dishes in the
racks, remove the largest
scraps of food left over on your
plates, you will thus avoid
blocking the filter, which would
reduce the efficacy of the wash.
If the saucepans and frying
pans are very dirty, allow them
to soak before being washed.
To make it easier to load your
dishes, pull the racks out.
What goes into the
lower rack?
We recommend you place the
most difficult dishes to wash
into the lower rack: saucepans,
lids, soup dishes and plates (a
load example is shown in the
photo).
Serving dishes and large
lids: place them on the sides
of the rack.
Saucepans, salad bowls:
must always be placed
upside down
Very deep dishes: place
them obliquely, thus
allowing water to run down
them and cleaning them
better
The cutlery basket can be split
up by pulling out the handle
When you only have little cutlery
to wash, you can use just half the
basket; save space for other
crockery or place the other half
of the basket in the upper rack
instead (see figures A and B).
This basket is equipped with two
removable grids: insert the
cutlery one by one into the slots;
knives and utensils with sharp
blades or tips should be
positioned with the sharp parts
at the bottom.
It is best if you place longer
utensils horizontally at the
front of the upper rack.
What goes into the
upper rack?
Place delicate and lightweight
dishes in the upper rack:
glasses, tea cups and coffee
cups, saucers - but plates too shallow salad bowls, slightly
dirty frying pans and shallow
pans (the photo illustrates a few
examples).
The appliance can also be
equipped with one or two tipup compartments onto which
you can place mugs and cups,
as well as long sharp knives and
serving cutlery.
Position lightweight dishes in
such a way as to avoid their
being moved by the spray of
water.
After loading the dishes, remember to check that the
blades on the sprayer arms can
turn freely without knocking
against any dishes.
How to adjust the top
rack.
The upper rack can be set in
high or low position to enable
you to organise your dishes
effortlessly.
There are two handles on the sides of
the upper rack: use these to adjust its
height (see fig. C)

Starting the dishwasher
Ready, steady, go!
You have loaded your dishes and you now have to set the
wash cycle. It takes just one minute to learn how
First of all.
Turn on the water tap completely and press ON-OFF
button "A". you will hear a short
beep and indicator light "B"
lights up. Now the appliance is
on and awaiting instructions.
Selecting the wash
cycle.
Select the wash cycle by
pressing button "P". Each time
you press the button, a beep
will sound and indicator lights
"E" will light up in sequence:
choose the cycle you deem
most suited to the type of
dishes to be washed (take a
look at page 17, where you will
find the wash cycle table). If the
appliance door is shut, press
the Start button "R" and you will
hear a beep; the cycle will start
up within a few seconds.
The dishwasher informs
you.
Your dishwasher is fitted with
indicator lights (G) which light
up to indicate the cycle phase
under way.
Here are the symbols corre-
sponding to each cycle phase:
pre-wash, wash, rinses, drying.
At all times, your dishwasher
tells you which cycle phase is
under way.
Modifying a wash cycle
in progress.
But if you have chosen the
wrong cycle, not to worry! You
can modify the wash cycle in
progress, if it has only just
started. Keep the RESET
button "R" pressed for about 5
seconds: a prolonged beep will
sound, followed by three short
beeps. Indicator light "G" will
turn off and at this stage, all the
settings will have been
cancelled. You are now free to
re-set the correct wash cycle.
You've left out a dish?
Well, it happens to everyone.
Interrupt the wash cycle by
pressing the ON-OFF button,
insert the dish you had
forgotten and press the ONOFF button again. The cycle
will start up from where you
interrupted it.
Finished?
The end of the wash cycle is
indicated by two short beeps
and the flashing of the drying
phase indicator light.
CAUTION
Turn the display off by
pressing button A, unplug
the appliance from the
electricity socket to cut off
the power supply; the
power supply cable should
consequently be easily
accessible.
Turn off the water tap.
Wait a few minutes before un-
loading the dishes: they are
very hot! If you wait a little
while, they dry better thanks
to the steam.
Empty the lower rack first.
Make sure the wash
cycle has ended
before removing the
dishes!
There's been a power
failure? Have you
opened the dishwasher
door?
The wash cycle stops and then
restarts when the electricity
comes back on or when you
shut the door. Everything is
under control!
You decide when it
starts.
When you have loaded the
dishes, you can choose when
to start your dishwasher before
setting the wash cycle desired.
Press button "D" to delay the
start of the wash cycle by 12, 9,
6 or 3 hours. Each time you
press it, you will hear a short
beep and the indicator light "G"
corresponding to the selected
delay will light up.
Now you can select the desired
wash cycle. Press the start button "R" and after you hear the
beep, the countdown to the delayed start will begin.
Once this time is up, the indicator light will stop flashing and
the wash cycle will begin.
If you have set a 12 hour delay,
for example, once you have
selected the wash cycle, the 12
hour indicator light will flash
followed by the others in
sequence until the set time
delay is up. A quick look at the
indicator lights will keep you
informed of the countdown
progress at all times.
Have you changed your
mind?
If you change your mind, you
can set a shorter time delay:
press button "D" to select it. You
need not reset the wash cycle.
If on the other hand you want
to cancel the delay set and you
want the cycle to start
immediately, press button "D"
repeatedly until the cycle starts
and indicator light "G"
corresponding to the cycle start
phase comes on.
Dual function of
indicator lights "G"
1) flashing to indicate a
delayed start: to remind you
that you have set a delayed
start;
2) on and not flashing
beneath the cycle phase
symbol:
meaning the cycle has started
and is in the phase indicated by
the symbol.
You want to wash on
one rack only?
Remember to use half
the amount of
detergent.
If you only have a few dishes to
wash, you can decide to run a
half-load, to save on water,
electricity and detergent.
Before setting any wash cycle
whatsoever, press button "F",
indicator light "H" will light up
and your dishwasher will wash
on the upper rack only.
Would you like to see
which settings you
have made?
At any time, when the cycle is
under way, if you press button
"P", the cycle in progress
indicator light will light up for
a few seconds, followed by the
half load indicator light,
wherever set.
If opening the door
soon after the end of
the programme,or
during it, stand away
from the Dishwasher,
to avoid possible
injury from hot
steam.

it closes.
The rinse aid.
This product makes dishes
sparkle more as it improves
their drying. The rinse aid
container is situated on the
inside of the appliance door;
you should refill it when you
see the container is empty by

Warning
Three-in-one dishwasher tablets are now available on the market, and combine the detergent, salt and rinse aid
all in one. If the water in your area is hard or very hard, we still recommend you pour extra salt into the
relevant dispenser to prevent the formation of white streaks on your dishes or on the appliance interior.
Add rinse aid to the corresponding container only if you are dissatisfied with the results on your dishes.
In any case, please read the manufacturer's instructions provided on the packet.
If you use only these products, it is normal for the salt and rinse aid indicator lights to flash permanently after
a certain number of cycles.

Loading the salt.
Always use salt which is intended
for dishwasher use.
The salt container is situated
underneath the lower rack, fill it
up as follows:
1.Pull out the lower rack
completely, unscrew and
remove the container cap
2. Is it the first time you load the
salt? First fill the container up
with water (you won't have to
do this again next time)
3. Put the dishwasher funnel on
the hole and pour in
approximately two kilos of
salt. It is normal that some
water comes out of the
container.
4. Screw the cap back in place
carefully.
When should I load the salt?
The salt container should be
filled up when the low salt
indicator light "S" flashes. Once
you have loaded the salt for the
first time, it is normal that the
low salt indicator light stays on
or flashes for about 5 consecutive cycles.
Salt adjustment
Your dishwasher can adjust its
salt consumption according to
the hardness of the water in your
home. This way, you can optimise
and customise your dishwasher's
salt consumption (not too much,
nor too little).
To adjust salt consumption, do as
follows:
1. Unscrew the salt container cap
2. There is an arrow on the neck
of the container (see figure):
if necessary, turn the arrow
anti-clockwise from the "-"
setting to the "+" setting.
Select the arrow position
depending on the water hardness,
referring to the table provided.

How to look after and protect
the dishes you hold dear
■ Almost all silverware can
be cleaned in a dishwasher.
There are two exceptions:
old silverware and
silverware decorated with
an oxidising agent. Hot
water can loosen the
handles on old silverware
ad wear off the decorations
on the other.
Never let silverware come
into contact with other
metals: you will thus avoid
stains and blackening
Apart from making
you save time and
energy, your
dishwasher disinfects
your dishes, washing
them at a high
temperature.
■ Silver plates and serving
dishes should be washed
immediately after use,
especially if they have
contained salt, eggs, olives,
mustard, vinegar, fruit juices
and cooked vegetables.
■ For particularly delicate
dishes, we recommend you
use the specific wash cycle
offered by your dishwasher.
Savings are easy
Using your electric household appliances
wisely helps you make savings and is good for
the environment.
Maximum load.
To optimise consumption levels, try to use the
dishwasher with a full load only. If it takes quite
some time to fill up your dishwasher, use the soak
cycle to a void the f ormation of bad odours and cakedon food.
The right wash cycle.
Select the most suitable wash cycle for the type of
load you ha ve placed in the dishwasher . T he choice of
wash cycle depends on the type of dishes to wash
and on how dirty they are. To select the r ight wash
cycle , please consult the w ash cycle ta ble on pa ge 7.

Installation and moving
Your dishwasher has arrived
After having bought or moved your dishwasher to another home, a correct installation
ensures that your dishwasher will operate smoothly and efficiently.
Choose where you want to
install your dishwasher, you
can even place it so that its
sides or back panel are side by
side with furniture or up against
the wall. The dishwasher is
provided with water supply and
drain hoses, which can be
directed towards the left or
right to facilitate appropriate
installation.
This dishwasher model can be
built under a single worktop
(please read the relevant
instruction sheet).
Levelling.
Once the appliance is
positioned, adjust the feet by
screwing them in or out
depending on how high you
want it and to level it so that it
is horizontal. Make sure that it
is not inclined more than 2
degrees. If the appliance is
level, it will help ensure its
correct operation.
Cold water connection.
This electric household
appliance should be connected
to the water mains using the
cold water supply hose
provided with the appliance
only. Do not use a different
hose. In the event of replacements, use original spare parts
only.
Connect the cold water supply
hose to a 3/4 gas threaded connection, placing the small filter
If the power socket
to which the
appliance is
connected is not
compatible with the
plug, replace it with
a suitable plug rather
than using adapters
or multiple plugs as
these could cause
overheating or
burns.
provided between the hose and
connection, taking care to
screw it tightly onto the tap (see
fig. 2).
If the water pipes are new or
A
Fig.2
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.
Drain hose connection.
Fit the drain pipe into a drain
line with a minimum diameter
of 4 cm or place it over the sink.
Avoid restricting or bending it.
Use the special plastic elbow
provided (see figure) to
position it in the best possible
way. The part of the pipe
marked with the letter A should
be between 40 and 100 cm
above the ground.
The pipe should not be
immersed in water.
A
The special plastic
elbow should be
fastened firmly onto
the wall to prevent
the drain hose from
moving and allowing
water to spill outside
the drain.
Electrical connection.
First of all, check that the mains
voltage and frequency values
correspond to those stated on
the rating plate located on the
stainless steel inner door of the
appliance and that the electrical
system to which the
dishwasher is connected is
sized for the maximum current
indicated on said rating plate.
Earth: indispensable
safety.
Only now can you plug the
appliance into a socket
provided with an efficient earth
connection (the system's
earthing is a guarantee of safety
provided for by law, make sure
your system has it).
Power supply wire.
Check the power supply wire
on a regular basis; if it is
damaged, we recommend you
have it replaced by an
authorised technical Assistance
service centre.
The plug
The dishwasher plug
must be accessible that
maintenance can be
done safely.

Troubleshooting
D
If you have a problem, read this
Your dishwasher may not work or not function properly. In many cases, these are problems which can be solved without having to call for
a technician. Before calling the service centre, always check the points below.
The dishwasher won't
start
■ Is the water supply tap
turned on?
■ Is the water supply tap
connected to the hose
properly?
■ Has the water in your home
been cut off?
■ Is the pressure of the water
supply sufficient?
■ Is the hose bent?
■ Is the filter on the water
supply hose blocked?
■ Is the dishwasher door
open?
The dishes are not clean.
■ Have you put the right
amount of detergent into the
dispenser?
■ Is the wash cycle suitable for
the dishes you have placed
inside the appliance?
■ Are the filter and microfilter
clean?
■ Can the sprayer arms turn
freely?
The dishwasher won't
drain.
■ Is the drain hose bent?
Limescale deposits or a
white film form on the
dishes.
■ Is the lid on the salt
container closed properly?
■ Is the rinse aid dosage
correct?
Error messages.
Your dishwasher is equipped
with a safety system which is
able to detect any operating
anomalies. These anomalies
are reported by one or two
wash cycle indicator lights "E"
flashing rapidly. Take a note of
which lights are flashing, turn
the appliance off and call for
technical assistance.
Tap off alarm
If you have forgotten to turn the
water tap on, your appliance
will remind you of this by
sounding a few short beeps for
a few minutes. Turn the tap on
and your appliance will start up
again after a few minutes. Were
you to be absent when these
beeps are sounded, the
appliance will be blocked automatically and wash cycle 4 and
5 indicator lights (rapid wash
and soak) will flash rapidly.
Turn the appliance off at the
ON-OFF button, turn on the
water tap and wait
approximately 21 seconds
before turning the appliance
back on, then repeat the
programming operations and
start the appliance by pressing
the Start button.
Clogged filter alarm
If the appliance is blocked and
wash cycle 3 and 5 indicator
lights (eco and soak) flash
rapidly, this means the filter is
clogged by large particles of
food residue. Turn the
appliance off, clean the filter
thoroughly and reposition it in
its seat as illustrated on page 10.
Then turn the appliance back
on. Repeat the programming
operations and start the
dishwasher by pressing the
Start button.
You have checked
everything, but the
dishwasher still
doesn't work and the
problem persists?
Call an authorised service
centre near you and remember
to mention:
the type of malfunction
the model mark (Mod.) and
the serial number (S/N.)
indicated on the rating plate
located on the inner door, to
one side.
Never call upon the
services of
unauthorised
technicians and always
refuse spare parts that
are not originals.
Safety within your home
Your dishwasher was built in accordance with the strictest international safety regulations. They protect you and your family.
Read the instructions and information contained in this manual: they will provide you with useful hints as to installation, use and
maintenance safety. To avoid nasty surprises.
1. Dispose of the packaging
material carefully (follow
the instructions on how to
divide your rubbish up
provided by your local
Council)
2. After removing the
packaging, check to make
sure your appliance is
intact. If in doubt, contact
a qualified professional.
3. Your dishwasher must only
be used by adults and for
washing household dishes,
according to the
instructions included in
this manual. Do not touch
the appliance with wet
hands or feet or barefoot.
4. We discourage the use of
extension leads and multiple plugs. If the electricity
supply wire is not long
enough, then have it
replaced with one of the
correct length and
remember that it should be
free of bends or dangerous
kinks.
5. If the appliance is not
operating properly or if
maintenance operations
are necessary, disconnect
the dishwasher from the
mains power supply
(unplug it!).
6. Keep children away from
the dishwasher when it is
open and keep detergents
out of their reach.
7. Your dishwasher is not to
be installed outdoors, not
even if the area is covered
by a roof: it is extremely
dangerous to leave it
exposed to rain and
thunderstorms.
8. Do not touch the heating
element during or straight
after a wash cycle.
9. Do not lean or sit on the
door when it is open, as
this could overturn the
dishwasher.
10. If the appliance
malfunctions, turn off the
water inlet tap and
disconnect the plug from
the wall socket. Then try
consulting the section
entitled "I you have a
problem, read this". If you
I only want an authorised
specialised technician with
original Ariston guaranteed spare
parts
cannot resolve the
problem, then call the
service centre.
11. Once taken out of use,
appliances must be made
inoperable: cut the power
supply wire and damage
the door lock.

Care and maintenance
Cleaning and special maintenance
The filter assembly
If you want consistent good
results from your dishwasher,
you need to clean the filter
assembly.
The food particles are removed
from the wash water, allowing
it to be recirculated during the
cycle, filtered perfectly. For this
reason, it is a good idea to
remove the larger food particles
trapped inside the cup C and
the semi-circular filter A after
each wash; pull the cup handle
upwards to remove them. Just
rinse them under running
water.
The entire filter assembly
should be cleaned thoroughly
once a month: cup C + semicircular filter A + cylindrical
filter B. Rotate filter B
anticlockwise to remove it.
For cleaning, use a non metallic
brush.
Reassemble the filter parts (as
shown in the figure) and
reinsert the whole assembly
into the dishwasher. Position it
into its housing and press
downwards.
The dishwasher is not to be
used without filters. Improper
replacement of the filters may
reduce the efficiency of the
wash and even damage your
dishwasher.

Cleaning the sprayer
arms.
Food residue may become
encrusted onto the sprayer
arms and block the holes where
water comes out. Check the
sprayer arms regularly and
clean them once in a while
(letters F and I Close-up view).
Once in a while, once a
month, spend a little time
on the filter assembly and
the spra y er arms.
Keep your dishwasher in shape
Respecting these f ew rules ensures you will alw ays ha ve a reliable work
companion by your side.
After every wash.
When the wash cycle has
ended, always remember to
turn off the water supply tap
and to leave the appliance door
ajar. This way, moisture and
bad odours will not be trapped
inside.
Unplug the appliance.
Before carrying out any
cleaning or maintenance on the
dishwasher, always remove the
plug from the electricity socket.
Do not run risks.
No solvents! No
abrasives!
To clean the exterior and
rubber parts of your appliance,
do not use solvents or abrasive
cleaning products. Use a cloth
dampened with lukewarm
soapy water only.
If there are any stains on the
surface of the appliance
interior, use a cloth dampened
with water and a little white
vinegar, or a cleaning product
specifically made for
dishwashers.
Going on holiday?
When you go away for an
extended period of time, we
recommend you do the
following:
run a cycle with the
dishwasher empty
turn off the water inlet tap.
leave the appliance door ajar
This will help the seals last
longer and prevent unpleasant
odours from forming inside the
appliance.
Moving the appliance.
Should the appliance have to be
moved, try to keep it in a
vertical position. If absolutely
necessary, it can be positioned
on its back.
The seals.
One of the factors that cause
unpleasant odours to form
inside the dishwasher is food
that remains trapped in the
seals. Periodic cleaning using a
damp sponge will prevent this
from occurring.
Your dishwasher is not a waste disintegrator!
Do not worry about removing every single bit of
food residue from your dishes, but do get rid of
bones, peel and rind and any other left-overs
before placing them in the racks. Empty out all
glasses and cups.
