Safety information

During normal use

The dishwasher must only be used by adults for the washing of household dishes and cooking utensils. This appliance cannot be installed outdoor, not even if the area in which it is installed is covered by a roof; it is also very dangerous to leave it exposed to the rain and elements. Do not place any heavy objects or stand on the door when it is open. The appliance could tip forward. The water inside the dishwasher is not suitable for drinking. Do not use solvents of any kind inside your dishwasher. They could cause an explosion danger. Open the door very carefully if the dishwasher is operating. There is a risk of water squirting out.

During installation

At time of delivery

Check packaging and dishwasher immediately for signs of transport damage. If the appliance is damaged, do not put it into use but contact your supplier or customer service without delay. Please dispose of packaging materials properly.

Place the dishwasher and connect it up in accordance with the installation instructions. The dishwasher must not be connected to the electricity supply while installation is being carried out. Ensure that the domestic wiring is properly earthed. The mains electricity supply must conform to the details shown on the dishwasher nameplate. Do not connect the dishwasher to the electricity supply via an extension cable. Built-under and built-in appliances should always be installed under a continuous work surface which is attached to the adjacent cupboards, in order to ensure that the appliance is entirely stable. After the appliance has been installed,the mains plug should still be easily accessible. The plastic housing on the water inlet contains an electrically operated valve.The connecting wires are inside the inlet hose.Do not cut through this hose and do not immerse the plastic housing in water. During installation, the power supply cord must not be excessively or dangerously bent or ﬂ attened.

For Switzerland only: There are no restrictions on installing the appliance between wooden or plastic walls as part of a ﬁ tted kitchen. If the appliance is not plugged into a wall socket, it must be connected to the mains via a separator for all poles within the domestic wiring system. This device must have a gap of at least 3mm between open contacts, in order to conform with relevant safety regulations.

If a fault occurs

If the appliance malfunctions, turn off water supply to the appliance and disconnect the plug from the wall socket. Then, consult the section entitled, "Fault ﬁ nding" .If you cannot solve the problem, contact a service center. Only specialised personnel are authorised to make repairs. If the supply cord is damaged ,it must be replaced by the manufacture ,its service agent of similarly qualiﬁ ed persons in order to avoid a hazard. To maintain the EFFICIENCY and SAFETY of this appliance,we recommend:

- call only the Service Centers authorized by the manufacturer.

- always use original Spare Parts.

When disposing of old appliances

Appliances which are no longer being used must be made inoperable by cutting the power supply cord and removing the door lock. Take the appliance to a designated waste disposal center.

If your family includes children

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,sensory or mental capcabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they to not play with the appliance. Keep detergents out of the reach of children, who must also be kept away from the dishwasher when it is open.

Warning

Children could get locked in the appliance (risk of suffocation) or get stuck in other positions. Therefore: Remove the mains plug, cut the mains wire and set aside. Damage the door lock so that the door can no longer be closed.

Dangerous voltage

Do not touch the heating element during or after a wash cycle. Fundamental rules to follow when using the appliance:

- Never touch the dishwasher when barefoot or with wet hands or feet;

- We discourage the use of extension cords and multiple sockets;

- If the appliance is not operating properly or maintenance must be performed, disconnect the appliance from the power supply.

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 ﬁ g.A). Some models are ﬁ tted 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.

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.

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-ﬂ ooding feature operates properly, the "A" box with water supply hose must be attached to the water supply tap as shown in ﬁ g.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.

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.

Installation

Warning

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

ﬁ g.A

ﬁ g.B

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, ﬁ t a syphon trap (U-bend) with a connecting piece for the drain hose (ﬁ g.C). The free end of the hose must be at a height between 40 and 100 cm and must not be immersed in water.

ﬁ g.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 ﬁ ll the salt

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 speciﬁ cally 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 ﬁ lled as follows:

When the low salt indicator “H” lights, you must ﬁ ll the salt. Remove the lower rack and then unscrew and remove the cap from the salt container; If you are ﬁ lling the container for the ﬁ rst time, ﬁ ll 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 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.

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 ﬁ gure 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:

How to ﬁ ll rinse aid

Rinse aid

This product makes dishes sparkle and helps them to dry without spotting. The dispenser is located on the inside panel of the door .

Important

Proper dosage of the rinse aid improves drying. If drops of water remain on the dishes or spotting occurs, the dosage adjuster should be turned to a higher setting. If the dishes have white streaks, turn the dosage adjuster to a lower setting.

Loading the rinse aid

Regardless of the type of detergent dispenser installed on your appliance, you must proceed as indicated below when loading the rinse aid. To open the dispenser, turn the "1" cap in an anticlockwise direction and then pour in the rinse aid, making sure not to overfill. The amount of rinse aid used for each cycle can be regulated by turning the "2" dose adjuster, located beneath the "1" cap, with a screwdriver. There are 6 different settings; the normal dosage setting is 3.

When the low rinse aid indicator “ C ” lights , you must load rinse aid .

Detergent

Detergent specifically intended for use with dishwashers must be used. The dispenser must be reﬁ lled before the start of each wash cycle following the instructions provided in the "Programme overview". The detergent dispenser is located on the inside panel of the door.

Notice:

To facilitate closing the cover, remove any excess of detergent on the edges of the dispenser.

To open the " 3 " cover on the dispenser, press the " 4 " button. The detergent for the wash cycle should be poured into the " 5 " compartment. The detergent for the pre-wash cycle should be poured into the “ 6 ” compartment. After the detergent has been placed in the dispenser, close the cover and press down until it clicks in place.

How to ﬁ ll the detergent

Notice:

The usage of 3 in 1 or similar tablets is forbidden when Heat wash, Rapid Wash and Soak programmes are selected.

Loading the detergent

Not suitable for the dishwasher

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.

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.

Suggested remedy

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.

Loading crockery, glasses, etc. in the dishwasher

Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove larger food particles to prevent the ﬁ lter 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.

Normal daily load

Warning

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

How to use the lower rack

We recommend that you place the most difﬁ cult to clean items on the bottom rack: pots, pans, lids, serving dishes and bowls, as shown in the ﬁ gure 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.

Pots, serving bowls, etc. must always be placed face down.(see ﬁ g.C) Deep pots should be slanted to allow the water to ﬂ ow out. Large pots should be placed at an angle to allow the water to ﬂ ow out. The cutlery basket cannot be separated (see Fig. D).

ﬁ g.D

ArtNo.800-0319 - RDW459

- Lower rack

ﬁ g.C

Shelf

Lean tall glasses and those with long stems against the shelf-not against other items to be washed. Place glasses, cups and small bowls on the additional cup rack. The additional cup rack can be swivelled in or out as required(see ﬁ g.F).

The upper rack is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware, such as glasses, cups and saucers, plates, small bowls and shallow pans (as long as they are not too dirty).

How to use the upper rack

ﬁ g.E

Adjust the upper basket to the higher level and you have more space to accommodate those taller pans and trays in the bottom basket.

ﬁ g.F

Position the dishes and cookware so that they do not get moved by the spray of water. The upper rack can be adjusted for height by using the knobs located on both sides of the rack itself (see ﬁ g.E).

How to keep your dishwasher in shape

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 speciﬁ cally 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. 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.

Care and maintenance

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.

Filters

The filters “7”,“8” prevent larger particles of food in the water from reaching the pump.These particles may occasionally block the ﬁ lters.

When the appliance has finished washing, check the filters for particles of food and, if required, clean. After undoing the coarse micro-filter “7 ” , the ﬁ lter unit “ 8” can be removed. Remove any particles of food and rinse the ﬁ lters under running water. Insert the ﬁ lter unit “ 8 ” and tighten the coarse micro-ﬁ lter.

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.

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.

Dishwasher salt

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

Rinse-aid

Check the LOW RINSE AID indicator “ C ”, on the front panel. Top up with rinse-aid,if required.

Resolving minor problems yourself

Experience has shown that you can resolve most problems that rise during normal daily usage yourself, without having to call out a service engineer.Not only does this save costs,but it also means that the appliance is available for use again that much sooner. The following list of common occurrences and their remedies should help you identify the causes of most problems.
