Loading your appliance

Before placing dishes in the machine, remove any scraps of food, to avoid clogging the filters and consequently reducing the performance.

Do not load very small items which can fall through the baskets.

The lower basket

The lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery etc.

Serving dishes and large lids should be arranged around the edge of the basket, ensuring that the spray arms can turn freely.

The cutlery basket

Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard. Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket. Take care when loading or unloading sharp items such as knives.

Cutlery should be placed in the removable cutlery basket with the handles facing downwards.

If the handles protrude from the bottom of the basket, obstructing the lower spray arm, load the cutlery with the handles facing upwards.

Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent them from sticking together.

The upper basket

The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates, saucers, dinner plates of up to 24 cm in diameter), salad bowls, cups and glasses.

Arrange items on and underneath the cup racks so that water can reach all surfaces.

Light items (plastic bowls etc.) should be loaded in the upper basket and arranged so they do not move.

Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely.

Adjusting the height of the upper basket

If washing very large plates you can load them in the lower basket after moving the upper basket to the higher position.

To move to the higher position proceed as follows:

1. Move the front runner stops (A) of the upper basket

outwards and slide the basket out.

2. Refit the basket in the higher position and replace the stops (A) in their original position.

When the basket is in the higher position you will not be able to use the cup rack(s).

After loading your machine always close the door, as an open door can be a hazard.

1. Check that the baskets have been loaded correctly and that the spray arms can rotate freely

2. Turn on the water tap

3. Close the dishwasher door

4. Set and start of the programme

Turn the programme selector dial clockwise until the letter of the programme you wish to select corresponds with the programme marker on the control panel.

Depress the On/Off push button. The On/Off indicator light will come on and the machine

will start.

5. Interrupting a washing programme in progress

Interrupt a washing programme in progress ONLY if it’s absolutely necessary.

Attention! Hot steam may escape when the door is opened. Open the door carefully.

To interrupt a washing programme

a) Open the dishwasher door; the programme will stop.

Close the door; the programme will start from the point in which it was interrupted.

b) Press the On/Off push button (in this case the On/Off

indicator light turns off). Press the On/Off push button again; the programme will start from the point in which it was interrupted.

6. End of the washing programme

The dishwasher will automatically stop. The On/Off indicator light remains on until the On/Off

push button is depressed. Only the On/Off integrated indicator light will remain on. Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push

button. Open the door and wait a few minutes before removing

the dishes; in this way they will be cooler and the drying will be improved.

Water may appear on the sides and door of the dishwasher as the stainless steel will eventually become cooler than the dishes.

Unloading the dishwasher

Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks. The dishes should therefore be allowed to cool down before removing from the appliance.

Empty the lower basket first and then the upper one; this will avoid water dripping from the upper basket onto the dishes in the lower one.

When the washing programme has finished, it is recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and the water tap turned off.

Operating sequence

Fitting under a counter

(kitchen worktop or sink)

By removing the machine’s worktop, you can install it under a close fitting sink unit or a pre-existing top, providing the dimensions of the recess correspond to those shown in the picture.

Proceed as follows:

- Remove the machine’s worktop by unscrewing the two front retaining screws, pull from the front and slide out the rear slots, lifting the worktop.

Insert the machine after adjusting height and levelling with the adjustable feet. When inserting the machine, ensure that the water inlet and drain hoses are not kinked or squashed.

Levelling

Good levelling is essential for correct closure and sealing of the door. When the appliance is correctly levelled, the door will not catch on the levelling spacers on either side of the cabinet. If the door does not close correctly, loosen or tighten the adjustable feet until the machine is perfectly level.
