USER INSTRUCTIONS

Only run the soak program with half loads. To run programs 6, 7, 8, 9 (see tab. 2-03b), select the required standard program (see programs 2, 3, 4, 5 in tab. 2-03a) and then press the “soak” button (program 1 in tab. 2-03a). The half-load option (ref. 3 ﬁ g. 2-03) is available for all programs, except the

soak program.

After using the above tables to choose the most suitable washing cycle, program the appliance.

Before starting a washing program, make sure that:

The water supply tap is open.

•

There is regenerating salt in the water softener tank (to add

•

salt, see the instructions in the general manual).

The correct amount of detergent has been added to the dis-

• penser (to add detergent, see the instructions in the general

manual). The spray arms are able to rotate freely and without obstruc-

• tion. The racks have been correctly loaded (see the instructions in

• the general manual). The dishwasher door is securely closed.

•

2.2.1 Switching on

Press the on/off button (ref. 1 ﬁ g. 2-03) to start the dishwasher. The relative indicator light (ref. 6 ﬁ g. 2-03) shines. Approximately 3 seconds later, the dis- play (ref. 8 ﬁ g. 2-03) will light up, showing information that will depend upon the state of the dishwasher.

2.2.2 Selecting a program

In this dishwasher model all programming operations can only be performed with the door closed. With the door open, the symbols “--” appear on the display (ref. 8 ﬁ g. 2-03) and the program indicator lights (ref. 7 ﬁ g. 2-03) remain off. Select the programs using the relative buttons (see P1, P2, P3, P4, P5 ﬁ g. 2-

04). Press the button relative to the required program (see tab. 2-03a, 2-03b). The relative indicator light shines to conﬁ rm the operation and the estimated cycle time in hours and minutes (“h.mm”) appears on the display (ref. 8 ﬁ g. 2-03). If required, press the relative buttons to select any complementary programs (e.g.: “Half-load”, “Sani option”, “program delay”; see para 2.2.8 “Options”).

Fig. 2-04

2.2.3 Starting a program

To start the dishwasher, simply press the start/pause button (ref. 5 ﬁ g. 2-03) for a few seconds until the “Time to end” message on the display starts ﬂ ashing and a beep is heard. From now on, the cycle time shown on the display (ref. 8 ﬁ g. 2-03) will decrease. This time, which is updated during the washing cycle, is “indicative” given that it is affected by washing conditions such as the quantity and type of dishes, the inlet water temperature, etc.. It is therefore normal to see this time change during a program (increases or decreases in minutes), especially when moving on from one phase to the next (e.g.: from washing to rinsing).

Rev 0.0 11

Page 13

USER INSTRUCTIONS

2.2.4 End of program

The end of the program is signaled by a short beep and the message “End” appears on the display (ref. 8 ﬁ g. 2-03). Press any of the program buttons to cancel “End” from the display and prepare the dishwasher for a new cycle; this can also be done by opening and closing the door or switching the appliance off and back on again.

2.2.5 Interrupting a program

To interrupt the current program:

•

press the start/pause button (ref. 5 ﬁ g. 2-03) for a few seconds until “Time to end” shines steady on the display (and a beep is heard). At this point the cycle can be resumed, by pressing the start/pause button (ref. 5 ﬁ g. 2-03), changed or cancelled.

2.2.6 Changing the current program

To change the current program:

interrupt it (see para 2.2.5 “Interrupting a program”);

• select a new program (see para 2.2.2 “Selecting a program”);

• press the start/pause button (ref. 5 ﬁ g. 2-03) to start the new program.

2.2.7 Canceling the current program

To cancel the current program, ﬁ rst interrupt it (see para 2.2.5 “Interrupting a program”). Then press buttons P1+P2 (see ﬁ g. 2-05) together until the ﬁ rst three program indicator lights turn on. The display indicates “P0” and the dishwasher automatically goes to the end of the cycle, draining the water from the tray (during this phase, “Time to end” ﬂ ashes on the display). When draining has been completed, the end of cycle message “End” appears on the display.

Fig. 2-05

IF YOU OPEN THE DOOR WHILE THE APPLIANCE IS WORKING, YOU MUST CLOSE IT AGAIN AND START THE PROGRAM AGAIN AS DESCRIBED IN PARAGRAPH 2.2.3 “STARTING A PROGRAM”. THE PROGRAM WILL RESUME FROM WHERE IT WAS INTERRUPTED. IF THE TEMPERATURE IN THE TRAY EX-

CEEDS 50°C (122° F), THE PROGRAM WILL RESUME AFTER ABOUT 30 SECONDS.

IF THE DOOR OF THE DISHWASHER HAS NOT BEEN CLOSED OR HAS BEEN INCORRECTLY CLOSED, THE WASHING CYCLE WILL NOT BEGIN.

PROGRAM DELAY

Press the Program delay button (ref. 4 ﬁ g. 2-03) to select a pre-washing program delay of up to 12 hours from when programming takes place. This makes it possible to use the dishwasher at a certain time of day. Before programming a delay, select the required washing program (see para

2.2 “Setting the washing program and switching on and off”).

Press the Program delay button (ref. 4 ﬁ g. 2-03). The display shows the num- ber of hour’s delay before the appliance starts, starting from 1 hour. In particular, the display will appear as shown in ﬁ gure 2-09. After selecting the delay, start the program by pressing the start/pause button (ref. 5 ﬁ g. 2-03) for a few seconds until the clock symbol starts ﬂ ashing. The dishwasher will perform a pre-wash cycle, after which the preset “program delay” will commence.

3 ENERGY SAVING AND ENVIRONMENTAL

RESPECT

•

Always try to run the dishwasher fully loaded.

•

Do not wash the dishes under a running tap.

•

Use the most suitable washing program for each type of load.

•

Do not pre-rinse.

•

If available, connect the dishwasher to a hot water system with a temperature of up to 60°C (140°F).

•

When possible, skip the drying cycle by opening the door after washing: the air and the residue heat will dry the dishes to perfection.

3.1 Reducing the consumption of detergent

and respecting the environment

The phosphates contained in dishwasher detergents are harmful to the environment. To avoid using excessive amounts of detergent and to save on electricity:

Separate the more delicate items from those that are more resistant to ag-

• gressive detergents and high temperatures;

Do not pour the detergent directly onto the dishes.

•

BEFORE STARTING TO USE THE APPLIANCE, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD ALL THE WARNINGS CONTAINED IN CHAPTER 2 “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTION”.

Once the dishwasher has been correctly installed, prepare for use as follows:

adjust the water softening system;

• add the regenerating salt;

• add the rinse-aid and detergent.

•

Rev 0.0 15

Page 38

USER INSTRUCTIONS

4.1 Using the water softening system

The amount of scale contained in the water (water hardness index) can cause whitish staining on the dry dishes, which tend to become dull over time. The dishwasher is equipped with an automatic softening system which uses a special regenerating salt to reduce the hardness of the water. The dishwasher is factory set for water hardness level 3 (average hardness 41-60°dF – 24-31°dH / 23.6-35 gpg). When using water of medium hardness, the regenerating salt container should be reﬁ lled after approximately 20 washing cycles. The salt container can hold approximately 1.7 Kg (3.75 lb) of salt in grains. Some models are equipped with an optical no-salt indicator. In these models, the cap of the salt container contains a green ﬂ oat which descends as the salt concentration in the water drops. When the green ﬂ oat can no longer be seen, the container must be topped up with regenerating salt. The container is situated at the bottom of the dishwasher. After removing the lower rack, unscrew the salt container cap (ref. A ﬁ g. 4-01) by turning it anticlockwise and pour in the salt using the funnel (ref. A ﬁ g. 4-02) supplied with the dishwasher. Before replacing the cap (ref. A ﬁ g. 4-01), remove any salt residues from around the opening.

S A L T

SALT

When using the dishwasher for the ﬁ rst time, in addition to the salt it is also

•

Fig. 4-02

necessary to add one liter of water to the container. Each time the salt container is reﬁ lled, make sure that the cap (ref. A ﬁ g.

• 4-01) is securely closed. The mixture of water and detergent must never penetrate the salt container, as this would compromise the operation of the regeneration system. In the event of this occurring, the warranty will be invalidated. Only use regenerating salt specially formulated for domestic dishwashers. If

• using salt tablets, do not ﬁ ll the container completely. Do not use table salt as it contains insoluble substances which, over time,

• may damage the water softening system. When necessary, reﬁ ll the regenerating salt container before starting the

• washing program. In this way, the excess saline solution will be immediately removed by the water; the prolonged presence of salt water inside the tank may lead to corrosion.

BE CAREFUL NOT TO CONFUSE THE SALT AND DETERGENT PACKAGES; ADDING DETERGENT TO THE SALT CONTAINER WILL DAMAGE THE WATER SOFTENING SYSTEM.

4.2 Using the rinse-aid and detergent

dispensers

The detergent and rinse aid dispensers are situated on the inner part of the door: the detergent dispenser (ref. A ﬁ g. 4-03) is on the left, and the rinse-

aid dispenser (ref. B ﬁ g. 4-03) is on the right.

WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE SOAK PROGRAM, BEFORE EVERY WASHING CYCLE IT IS NECESSARY TO ADD THE REQUIRED AMOUNT OF DETERGENT TO THE DETERGENT DISPENSER. THE RINSE AID, ON THE OTHER HAND, SHOULD ONLY BE ADDED AS REQUIRED.

18 Rev 0.0

Page 41

USER INSTRUCTIONS

4.2.1 Adding the rinse-aid

The rinse aid helps the dishes dry faster and prevents the formation of scale deposits and staining; it is automatically added to the water during the ﬁ nal rinse cycle, from the container situated on the inner side of the door .

Fig. 4-04

To add rinse aid:

•

Open the door.

•

Rotate the container cover (ref. A ﬁ g. 4-04) anticlockwise by ¼ of a turn and remove it.

•

Add the rinse aid until the container is full (approximately 140 ml). The optical level indicator (ref. B ﬁ g. 4-04), on the side of the cap should be completely obscured. Reﬁ ll the rinse aid when the optical level indicator becomes clear again, or when the rinse aid warning light illuminates (see “Description of controls” manual).

•

Replace the cover (ref. A ﬁ g. 4-04) by turning it in a clockwise direction until it is fully closed.

•

Use a cloth to remove any spillage of rinse aid which might lead to the formation of excess foam.

4.2.2 Adjusting the rinse-aid dispenser setting

The rinse-aid dispenser can be set to one of 6 different levels. The dishwasher is factory set for medium water hardness (selector set to “3”). To change the setting, turn the dispenser selector (ref. c ﬁ g. 4-04) to the desired position: the amount of rinse-aid dispensed is proportional to the position of this selector. Make sure that the minimum amount of rinse-aid (selector turned to “1”) is approximately 1 ml and the maximum amount (selector turned to “6”) is approximately 6 ml.

Rev 0.0 19

Page 42

USER INSTRUCTIONS

To adjust the rinse aid setting, rotate the dispenser cover (ref. A ﬁ g. 4-04)

• through a quarter turn in an anticlockwise direction and remove it. Then use a screwdriver to rotate the rinse aid selector to the desired posi-

• tion. Replace the cover (ref. A ﬁ g. 4-04) by turning it in a clockwise direction until

• it is fully closed. The amount of rinse aid must be increased if the washed dishes appear dull

• or feature circular stains. If, on the other hand, the dishes are sticky or have white streaks, it is neces-

• sary to reduce the rinse aid setting.

4.2.3 Adding the detergent

DO NOT INHALE OR SWALLOW DETERGENT AS THIS MAY CAUSE BURNS AND/OR PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE NOSE, MOUTH AND THROAT, AND EVEN LEADING TO SUFFOCATION; KEEP DETERGENT AWAY FROM YOUR EYES. IF ONE OF THE ABOVE SITUATIONS OCCURS, SEEK MEDICAL ASSISTANCE IMMEDIATELY. PREVENT CHILDREN FROM COMING INTO CONTACT WITH DETERGENT; KEEP THEM AWAY FROM THE DISHWASHER WHEN THE DOOR IS OPEN AS IT MAY CONTAIN DETERGENT RESIDUES. FILL THE DISHWASHER JUST BEFORE STARTING THE WASHING CYCLE AND THEN KEEP THE DETERGENT OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.

To open the detergent dispenser cover, lightly press the relative button (ref. A ﬁ g. 4-05). Add the detergent and close the cover carefully, pushing down on the arrow (ref. B ﬁ g. 4-05). During the washing cycle, the dispenser will be opened automatically.

Page 43

USER INSTRUCTIONS

When a program with hot prewash is selected (see program table in the “De-

• scription of Controls” manual), extra detergent must be placed in the cavity (ref. A or B ﬁ g. 4-06, depending on models).

Only use dishwasher-speciﬁ c detergents. For optimal washing results it is

•

important to use a good quality detergent. The detergent packs must be sealed and stored in a dry place to prevent

• the formation of lumps which may negatively affect washing results. Once opened the detergent packs should not be kept for too long, otherwise the detergent loses its effectiveness. Do not use detergents formulated for washing dishes by hand, because they

• produce a great deal of foam and may negatively affect the operation of the dishwasher. Add the correct amount of detergent. An insufﬁ cient amount of detergent

• will result in a partial removal of dirt from the dishes, whereas an excessive amount is wasteful and does not improve the washing results. The market offers liquid and powder detergents with differing chemical com-

• positions, which may contain phosphates, or be phosphate-free but contain natural enzymes. Detergents containing phosphates are more effective against grease and

• starch at temperatures above 60°C (140°F). Enzyme detergents, on the other hand, are also effective at lower tempera-

• tures (from 40 to 55°C / from 104 to 131°F) and are more easily biodegrad- able. With enzyme detergents it is possible to obtain at low temperatures comparable results to those which can only be achieved at 65°C (149°F) using traditional detergents. For the safeguarding of the environment we recommend the use of phosphate- and chlorine-free detergents.

Fig. 4-06

Rev 0.0 21

Page 44

USER INSTRUCTIONS

When using detergent tabs, place them in the cutlery basket. The dispenser

• has been designed for powder or liquid detergent. As the cover does not open completely during the washing cycle, tabs are not fully released (dissolved). This could generate the following problems:

- insufﬁ cient detergent released during the cycle and poor washing results;

- the detergent is compacted in the dispenser and is released during the ﬁ nal

rinse cycle.

THE INTRODUCTION OF DETERGENT INTO THE RINSE AID DISPENSER, EVEN IN LIQUID FORM, WILL DAMAGE THE DISHWASHER.

4.3 General warnings and recommendations

Before using the dishwasher for the ﬁ rst time, it is advisable to read the following recommendations concerning dish types to be washed and their loading. There are generally no constraints on the washing of domestic dishes, but in certain cases it is necessary to take their characteristics into account. Before loading the dishes into the racks it is necessary to:

remove coarse food remains: e.g. bones, ﬁ sh-bones, etc. which may clog

• the ﬁ lter or damage the wash pump; soak any pots or pans with burnt-on food remains on the bottom to facilitate

• removal, then load them into the LOWER RACK.

Use the “½ load wash” option (if available) for washing small amounts of dishes; it saves water and electricity. When using this function, only load the rack selected for the ½ load wash; the other rack must remain empty. There is no need to pre-wash the dishes under running water before loading them into the racks since this only wastes water. Correct loading of the dishes helps

ensure optimal washing results.

WARNING!

make sure that the dishes are securely in place so that they cannot tip over

• or obstruct the rotation of the spray arms during the washing cycle; do not place very small objects in the racks as these could fall and obstruct

• the spray arms or the wash pump; containers such as cups, bowls, glasses and pots should always be loaded

• with the opening facing downwards and with any cavities at an angle, to allow the water to drain out; do not stack dishes or place them in such a way that they cover one other;

• do not place glasses too close together because they may knock against

• each other and break, or there might be staining at the point where they touch.

22 Rev 0.0

Page 45

USER INSTRUCTIONS

MAKE SURE that the items being washed are dishwasher-safe.

Items which are not dishwasher-safe:

Wooden dishes, pots or pans: these may be damaged by the high wash-

• ing temperatures.

Handcrafted items: these are rarely suitable for washing in a dishwasher.

•

The relatively high water temperatures and the detergents used may damage them.

Lightweight objects: place lightweight objects in the upper rack where the

•

water pressure is lower.

Dishes and objects in copper, tin, zinc or brass: these tend to stain.

• Aluminum dishes: items made from anodized aluminum may lose their

•

color.

Silverware: silver items may stain.

• Glass and crystal: in general, glass and crystal objects can be washed in

•

the dishwasher. However, certain types of glass and crystal may become dull and lose their clearness after many washings. Therefore, for these items we recommend using the least aggressive program available (see “Description of controls” manual).

Decorated items: the decorated objects available on the market are gener-

•

ally able to withstand washing in the dishwasher, although the colors may fade after a great many washes. If in doubt as to the fastness of the colors, it is advisable to wash just a few items at a time for approximately one month.

4.4.1 Lower rack

The lower rack receives the full force of the lower spray arm, and should therefore be used for the “toughest” items with a heavier degree of soiling. All types and combinations of loads are permitted, provided that the dishes, pots and pans are arranged with all the soiled surfaces exposed to the water jets coming from the bottom. To make the most of the space inside the rack when loading large items, certain models are equipped with tip-up supports for plates in 2 or 4 sections (see ﬁ g. 4-09).

The cutlery basket can be removed to simplify unloading. Arrange the cutlery in an orderly manner inside the basket, with the handles

pointing downwards and taking care not to injure yourself with the knife blades. The basket is suitable for all types of cutlery, except those long enough

to interfere with the upper spray arm. Place long items (ladles, wooden spoons and cooking knives) that may inter- fere with the spray arm in the upper rack making sure that knife tips do

not protrude.

The dishwasher is complete with two cutlery baskets, which means that one of them can be removed, freeing space in the bottom rack, if there is not much cutlery to be washed, or if a ½ load program is being used (on models with this function). The baskets feature an exclusive system of independent sliding tip-up supports, offering a choice of combinations to allow optimum use of the space available.

• brush.

When removing the ﬁ lter, take care that there are no food residues on

•

it. If any residues fall into the washing pit (ref. A ﬁ g. 5-07), they might block hydraulic components or foul the spray arm nozzles. It is essential to thoroughly clean the ﬁ lters according to the above in-

• structions: the dishwasher cannot function if the ﬁ lters are clogged.

Carefully replace the ﬁ lters in their seats, to avoid damaging the wash

•

pump.

Prolonged disuse

Run the soak program twice in succession.

•

Unplug the power cord from the socket.

•

Leave the door slightly open in order to prevent the formation of unpleas-

• ant odors inside the washing tank.

Fill the rinse-aid dispenser.

• Shut off the water supply tap.

•

Before starting the dishwasher after prolonged disuse

Check that there are no deposits of sludge or rust inside the water pipe: if

• there are, allow the water to run from the water supply tap for a few minutes.

Plug the power cord back into the socket.

• Reconnect the water intake hose and open the tap again .

•

5.6 Troubleshooting minor problems

In some cases it is possible to remedy minor problems by referring to the following instructions:

If the program fails to start, check that:

•

the dishwasher is connected to the electrical power supply;

•

there is no power failure;

•

the water tap is open;

•

the dishwasher door is properly closed.

If water remains inside the dishwasher, check that:

•

the drain hose is not kinked

•

the drain siphon is not obstructed;

•

the dishwasher ﬁ lters are not clogged.

If the dishes do not come out clean, check that:

the correct amount of detergent has been added;

• there is regenerating salt inside the special container;

• the dishes are being loaded correctly;

• the selected program is suitable for the dish types and their degree of soil-

• ing; all the ﬁ lters are clean and positioned correctly;

• the spray arm nozzles are not obstructed;

• there is no object obstructing the rotation of the spray arms.

•

USER INSTRUCTIONS

If the dishes fail to dry or remain dull, check that:

there is rinse aid inside the special container;

• the rinse-aid dispenser setting is correct;

• the detergent used is of good quality and has not lost its effectiveness (for

• example, through incorrect storage, with the box left open).

If the dishes show signs of streaking, staining, etc., check that:

the rinse aid dispenser setting is not too high.

•

If there are visible traces of rust inside the tank:

the tank is made of steel, and therefore any rust marks are due to external

• elements (fragments of rust from the water pipes, pots, cutlery, etc.). Special products are commercially available to remove such marks. check that the amount of detergent being used is correct. Certain deter-

• gents can be more corrosive than others. check that the cap of the salt container is securely closed, and that the water

• softening setting is correct.

IF AFTER PERFORMING THE ABOVE TROUBLESHOOTING INSTRUCTIONS THE PROBLEM PERSISTS, CALL THE NEAREST TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE CENTRE.

WARNING: ANY OPERATIONS PERFORMED ON THE APPLIANCE BY UNAUTHORIZED PERSONS ARE NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY AND SHALL BE PAID FOR BY THE USER.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS EN

5.2.1.1 Connecting to the water tap

Connect the inlet hose to a threaded ¾” gas cold water tap, ﬁ tting the supplied ﬁ lter (ref. A ﬁ g. 5-06). Firmly secure the hose by tightening the relative ring

nut with your hands (ref. B ﬁ g. 5-06); ﬁ nish by tightening another ¼ turn using a pair of plumbing pliers. For models ﬁ tted with ACQUASTOP (ref. C ﬁ g. 5-06) the ﬁ lter is already present in the threaded ring nut. The dishwasher can be ﬁ lled with water at a temperature of less than 60°C (140°F).

If the appliance is ﬁ lled with hot water, washing times will be reduced by about 20 minutes, but efﬁ ciency will be slightly impaired. Make the connection to the domestic hot water tap using the same methods described for connecting the appliance to the cold water tap.

Recommended temperature: 49°C (120°F), max. 60°C (140°F). • Recommended water pressure: 0.5 - 9 bar (7 -130 PSI). •

If the pressure is too high, ﬁ t a pressure reducer.

A rubber hose connected to a sink spray may burst if installed on the

same pipes feeding the dishwasher cessory, remove the hose and plug the hole.

. If your sink is ﬁ tted with this ac-
