Installation	en

Positioning the appliance

Change 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 (screwing 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 levelled, it will help ensure proper performance.

Cold water connection

Connect the water supply hose to a threaded 3/4 (gas) connector, making sure that it is fastened tightly in place (see fig.A).

Some models are fitted with an "Aquastop" water supply hose (see fig.B) in which the small filter is already housed in the threaded end.

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.

Warning

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

fig.A

fig.B

Anti-Flooding protection

If dishwasher is equipped with a system that stops the supply of water in the event of a problem with the water supply hose, or leaks within the unit, in order to prevent damage to your home. If for any reason the box containing the electrical components happens to get damaged, remove the plug for the appliance from the socket immediately. In order to guarantee that the anti-flooding feature operates properly, the "A" box with water supply hose must be attached to the water supply tap as shown in fig.B. No other type of connection is acceptable. The water supply hose must not, under any circumstances, be cut, as it contains electrical parts which are live. If the length of the hose is not adequate to make a proper connection, the hose must be replaced with one which is long enough. This hose is available upon request from specialised retailers and service center.

4

en

Drain hose connection

Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe with a minimum diameter of 4cm, or let it run into the sink, making sure to avoid bending or crimping it. If necessary, fit a syphon trap (U-bend) with a connecting piece for the drain hose (fig.C). The free end of the hose must be at a height between 40 and 100 cm and must not be immersed in water.

fig.C

Attention:

The connecting piece for syphon trap (U-bend) must be solidly fastened to the wall to prevent the drain hose from moving and allowing water to spill outside the drain.

Electrical Connection

After making sure that the voltage and frequency values for the current in the home correspond to those on the rating plate (located on the stainless steel inner door of the appliance) and that the electrical system is correct for the maximum voltage on the rating plate, insert the plug into an electrical socket which is earthed properly (the earthing of the appliance is a safety requirement mandated by law).

If the electrical socket to which the appliance must be connected is not appropriate for the plug, replace the whole cable, rather than using adaptors or the similar like as they could cause overheating and burns.

Caution:

The dishwasher plug must be accessible even when the appliance is installed as a built-in unit so that maintenance can be done safely.

How to fill the salt	en

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 container

Always use salt intended for use with dishwashers.

The salt container is located beneath the lower rack and should be filled as follows:

When the low salt indicator “E” lights, you must fill the salt. 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

introduce about 2 kg of salt. It is normal for a small amount E of water to come out of the salt container.

Carefully screw the cap back on.

Important

To prevent the formation of rust, load the salt just before beginning a

wash cycle.

7

en

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:

Unscrew the cap from the salt container;

There is a ring on the container with an arrow on it (see figure to the side),

If necessary, rotate the ring in an anticlockwise direction from the "-" setting towards the "+" sign, based on the hardness of the water being used.

It is recommended that adjustments be made in accordance with the following table:

	Water Hardness

Not suitable for the dishwasher	en

What you should not put into the dishwasher

Cutlery and tableware manufactured in whole or part from wood.They become faded and unsightly in appearance.Furthermore,the adhesives that are used are not suitable for the temperature that occur inside the dishwasher.Delicate decorative glassware and vases,special antique or irreplaceable china. The decorative patterns on such items will not be dishwasher-proof.

Plastic objects that are not resistant to hot water, copper and pewter utensils are also not suitable. Decorative patterns printed or painted onto the surface of crockery, glasses, etc.,aluminium and silver items tend to become discoloured or faded if washed in the diswasher. Some types of glass can become opaque in appearance after they have been washed many times in a dishwasher. Highly absorbent materials, such as sponges and towels,should never be placed in the dishwasher.

Our recommendation

In future, only purchase table or kitchenware that has been confirmed as being dishwasher-proof.

Important

Dishes or cutlery that have been soiled by tobacco ash, wax,

Iubricating grease or paint, should not be put in the dishwasher.

Damage to glassware and other dishes

Possible causes

type of glass or manufacturing process chemical composition of detergent

water temperature and duration of dishwasher programme.

Suggested remedy

Use glassware or porcelain dishes that have been marked ‘dishwasher-proof’ by the manufacturer.

Use a mild detergent that is described as ‘kind to dishes’. If necessary, seek further information from detergent manufacturers.

Select a programme with a low temperature and a short duration as possible.

To prevent damage, take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher as soon as possible after the programme has ended.

11

Arranging crockery, glasses, etc. in the dishwasher	en

Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove larger 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 are soaked before washed. This will eliminate the need for extra wash cycles.

Pull out the rack to load the dishwasher.

How to use the lower rack	Normal daily load

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.	fig.D
Pots, serving bowls, etc. must always be placed face down
(see fig.D) .
Deep pots should be slanted to allow the water to flow out.
The lower rack features fold down tine rows (see fig.E) so
that larger or more pots and pans can be loaded.
	E1

How to keep your dishwasher in shape	en

After Every Wash

After every wash, set the main switch “I” to off 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 run 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 while vinegar, or cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.

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.

The door should not be left in the open position since this could present a tripping hazard.

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.

21

Care and maintenance	en

Regular inspection and maintenance of your appliance helps to prevent problems from occurring.This saves time and aggravation.You should therefore carefully inspect the inside of your dishwasher from time to time.

Overall condition of appliance

Check that no grease or scale has accumulated on the inside of the dishwasher. If you discover any deposits:

Clean the interior of the dishwasher thorughly with a detergent solution.

Dishwasher salt

Check the LOW SALT indicator “E”. Top up with salt, if required.

	Rinse-aid	D	E
	Check the LOW RINSE AID indicator “ D ”, on the front panel.
	Top up with rinse-aid,if required.
	Filters
	The filters “7”,“8” prevent larger particles of food in the water
	from reaching the pump.These particles may occasionally block
	the filters.
	When the appliance has finished washing, check the filters		7
	for particles of food and, if required, clean.		8
	After undoing the coarse micro-filter “7 ” , the filter unit
	“ 9” can be removed. Remove any particles of food and
	rinse the filters under running water.
	Insert the filter unit “ 8 ” and tighten the coarse micro-filter.

Spray arms

Lime and remnants of food in the washing water can block the nozzles in the spray arms “ 9 ” and “ 10 ” and the arm mountings. Inspect the nozzles in the spray arms for blocked holes

due to remnants of food.

If necessary, pull the lower arm “ 10 ” upwards and lift it off.

Unscrew the upper spray arm “ 9 ”.

Clean both spray arms under running water.

Refit the spray arms. Ensure that the lower arm has locked into place and the upper one is screwed tight.

Important information

Notes on waste disposal

Old appliances still have some residual value. An environment-friendly method of disposal will ensure that valuable raw materials can be recovered and used again.

When an appliance has reached the end of its working life,unplug it from the mains.Cut through the mains cable and dispose of it together with the plug.

Destroy the door locking mechanism. This will ensure that children at play cannot become locked inside and are not exposed to the risk of suffocation.

Your new appliance was protected by suitable packaging while it was on its way to you. All materials used for this purpose are environment-friendly and can be recycled. Please make a contribution to protecting the environment by disposing of the packaging appropriately.

Do not allow children to play with any parts of the packaging. There is a risk of suffocation by the cardboard boxes and the plastic wrapping.

Up-to -date information concerning options for disposal can obtained from your retailer or local municipal administration.

General information

Measures must be taken to ensure that built-under and built-in units that are subsequently re-sited as free-standing appliances cannot topple over. This can be achieved by bolting the dishwasher to the wall or fitting it under a continuous work surface which is screwed to the adjacent cupboards.
