Before using your dishwasher for the
first time:

1. Ensure that the electrical and water connections

comply with the installation instructions

2. Remove all packaging from inside the appliance

3. Set the water softener

4. Pour 1 litre of water inside the salt container and

then fill with salt

5. Fill the rinse aid dispenser.

Setting the water softener

The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener
designed to remove minerals and salts from the
water supply, which would have a detrimental or
adverse effect on the operation of the appliance.

The higher the content of these salts, the harder
your water is.

Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales,
Clarke degrees, French degrees and PPM (parts per
Million).

The softener should be adjusted according to the
hardness of the water in your area. Your local Water
Authority can advise you on the hardness of the
water in your area.

The dishwasher is factory set at level 3.
If this level is not suitable for your area the softener

should be adjusted.

To select a different level be sure that
the dishwasher is off and then proceed
as follows:

1. Press 70° 80Iand 65° programme push buttons

simultaneously.

2. While keeping the programme push buttons

70° 80

I

and 65° pressed switch on the
dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push button.
The On/Off indicator light comes on.
At the same time, the indicator lights of the

Press the 70° 80Ipush button, the indicator light
of the 65° push button turns off, while the
indicator light of the 70° 80Ipush button remains
fixed for about 5 seconds and then starts to flash
indicating the current level

The current level is indicated by the number of
flashes made by the 70° 80

I

indicator light, that
alternates 5 seconds off with a number of
flashes, this continues for about 60 seconds.

Example:

1 flash = level 1
2 flashes = level 2
3 flashes = level 3
4 flashes = level 4
5 flashes = level 5

3. To change the level, press the 70° 80

I

programme push button. Each time the push
button is pressed the level changes.

Example:
If the current level is 3, by pressing the 70° 80

I

programme push button once, level 4 is selected.
If the current level is 5, by pressing the 70° 80

I

programme push button once, level 1 is selected.
The 70° 80

I

indicator light remains off for about 5
seconds after which it starts flashing indicating
the new level selected.

4. To memorise the new level, switch off the
dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push button.

If your water is level 1 it is already soft
and therefore there is no need to use salt.
With the setting of the water softener at
level 1 the salt indicator light on the
control panel will always remain off.
Use salt from level 2 upwards.

From level 2 upwards, if salt refilling is
necessary, the salt indicator light will
illuminate only in setting mode and at the
end of the washing programme.
During the run of the programme it will
remain off.

SO397

Filling with salt

Only use salt specifically designed for use
in dishwashers.
All other types of salt not specifically
designed for use in a dishwasher,
especially table salt, will damage the water
softener.
Only fill with salt just before starting one
of the complete washing programmes.
This will prevent any grains of salt or salty
water, which may have been spilled,
remaining on the bottom of the machine
for any period of time, which may cause
corrosion.

To fill:

1. To fill with salt, unscrew the cap of the salt

container.

2. Pour 1 litre of water inside the container (this

is necessary only before filling with salt for
the first time).

3. Using the funnel provided, pour in the salt until

the container is full.
Do not worry if water over flows from the unit
when filling with salt, this is quite normal.

4. Replace the cap making sure that there is no

trace of salt on the screw thread or on the gasket.

5. Screw on the cap tightly.

The salt container will require topping up
periodically.

You are reminded of this by the salt indicator light on
the control panel which comes on when the salt has
finished.

The salt indicator light on the control
panel can remain illuminated for 2-6 hours
after the salt has been replenished,
assuming the dishwasher remains
switched on. If you are using salts that
take longer to dissolve then this can take
longer. The function of the machine is not
affected.

Rinse aid

Rinse aid is automatically added during the last
rinse, ensuring thorough rinsing, and spot and
streak free drying. The dispenser, which is
positioned inside the door, holds about 110 ml of
rinse aid, which is sufficient for 16 - 40 dishwashing
programmes, depending upon the dosage setting.

Filling with rinse aid

1. Open the container by turning the lid (A)

anticlockwise.

2. Add the rinse aid until the container is completely

full. The indicator (B) will be completely dark.

3. Top up the rinse aid when the rinse aid indicator

light on the control panel illuminates.

If rinse aid refilling is necessary, the rinse
aid indicator light will illuminate only in
setting mode and at the end of the
washing programme.
During the run of the programme it will
remain off.

It is possible to deactivate the rinse aid indicator
light (see the following instructions), By default the
rinse aid indicator light is active.

Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill.

Do not put liquid detergent in the rinse aid
compartment. Clean up any rinse aid spilt during
filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess
foaming during the next wash.

To deactivate the rinse aid indicator light
be sure that the dishwasher is off and
then proceed as follows:

1. Press 70° 80Iand 65° programme push buttons

simultaneously.

2. While keeping the programme push buttons
70° 80

Adjusting the dose

According to the finish and drying results obtained,
adjust the dose of rinse aid by means of the 6
position selector (C) (position 1 minimum dosage,
position 6 maximum dosage).

Increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime
spots on the dishes after washing.
Reduce it if there are sticky whitish streaks on the
dishes.

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.

Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the
dishes.

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
upper spray arm can turn freely.

The rows of prongs on the lower basket can be
easily lowered to allow you to load pots, pans and
bowls.

To lower the prongs:

- Slightly pull them upward and let them drop down

(see picture).

- To bring them back to the standing position, just

pull them up again.

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.

For best results we recommend you to use the
cutlery grid provided (if the size and dimensions of
the cutlery allow it).

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 so that water can reach all surfaces.
Glasses with long stems can be placed upside down

in the cup racks.
The cup rack on the left folds upwards to increase

your loading flexibility.
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 (over 27 cm and up to
31 cm in diameter) 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 top basket is in the higher
position it will only take plates up to 20 cm
in diameter and you will not be able to use
the cup racks.

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

37

Use of detergent

Only use detergents specifically designed
for use in dishwashers.

If using powder detergents proceed as follows:

1. Open the dispenser lid by pulling the catch (D).

2. Add the detergent according to the instructions

given in the Washing programmes chart.
As all detergents are not the same, you should
also consult the instructions on the packet.

3. Always close the lid.

4. If the programme has a prewash add the

required detergent in the WRD detergent
dispenser, located in the centre of the upper
basket.

If using detergent in tablets proceed as follows:

1. For all programmes; place 1 tablet inside the

detergent dispenser.

2. Always close the lid.

3. For all programmes with prewash; place a portion

of a further tablet on the lid of the detergent
dispenser.

ONLY in case of use of detergent in tablets with
Quick 60° A 30

I

programme, it is advisable to put
the tablet directly in the dishwasher and not in
the dispenser or in special tablet containers.

Insufficient quantities of detergent will
produce poor washing results, whereas an
excessive amount of detergent will not
improve washing results and is also
wasteful.
Using no more than the correct amount
also contributes to reducing pollution.

Compact detergents with enzymes

In these compact powders the environmentally unfriendly components have been replaced by natural enzymes
and other more biodegradable substances.

The enzymes deploy their full dirt dissolving power at a temperature as low as 50°C.
By choosing the 50°C programmes you can therefore achieve the same cleaning results that would otherwise

be achievable only with 65°C programmes and conventional detergents.

38

To save energy

Place dishes in the machine immediately after every
meal and wait until the dishwasher is full before
washing.

Do not prewash dishes under running water.
Select the QUICK 60° A 30 programme when dishes

are not very soiled, following the instructions given
in the "Washing programmes" chart.

Select the half load option if only a few dishes need
washing. Remember to load the dishes in both
baskets.

For best washing results

Before loading, remove all scraps of food and soak
very heavily soiled pots and pans.

Arrange saucepans, cups and glasses etc. upside­down.

Tilt items with convex or concave surfaces so that
the water drains off easily.

Avoid contact between the dishes as far as possible.

Items not suitable for dishwashers

The following items should not be washed in the
dishwasher (unless they are sold as dishwasher
proof):

- Cutlery with wooden or horn handles or
glued parts

- bronze cutlery

- saucepans with wooden handles

- aluminium ware

- crystal ware

- leaded glass

- plastic items

- antique or fine decorated china

Certain types of decoration can discolour when
washed in a dishwasher.

Crystal-ware and plastic objects, if not guaranteed
dishwasher proof should be washed by hand.

Certain types of glass can also become opaque
after being washed several times in a dishwasher.

A chemical reaction can occur between silver cutlery
and stainless steel cutlery. As a precaution, do not
wash together.

Iron and cast iron objects can rust and stain other
items.

Aluminium tends to go black, copper, pewter and
brass tend to stain.

If in doubt check with manufacturer of the
item.
When buying new dishes, ensure that they
are dishwasher proof.

Add the required amount of detergent into the
dispenser according to the recommended
quantity given in the Washing programmes
chart.

Important!
If the half load option is selected
remember to reduce the quantity of
detergent.

Close the detergent dispenser lid.

7. Close the dishwasher door

8a. Setting and starting the

programme without delay start

Press the push button corresponding to the
required programme: the indicator light
corresponding to the programme illuminates
and the phase indicator lights for that
programme start flashing.

Select, if required, the half load option.
The start of the programme will occur after

about 6 seconds from the last pressure of a
push button (programme or half load push
button), in this time it is possible to change
programme simply pressing the push button
of another programme.

Once the programme has started the phase
indicator lights will turn off except for the
phase under way.

It is possible to interrupt the programme
by:

● opening the door

● pressing the On/Off push button (in this

case all the indicator lights turn off)

Close the door again or press the On/Off,
the programme will start from the point in
which it was interrupted.

8b. Setting and starting the

programme with delay start

The setting of the delay start occurs
before selecting the programme.

Press the delay start push button and
selected the desired time (3, 6 or 9 hours)
until the indicator light corresponding to the
chosen hours flashes.

Press the push button corresponding to the
required programme: the indicator light
corresponding to the programme illuminates
and the phase indicator lights for that
programme start flashing.

The start of the countdown will occur after
about 6 seconds from the last pressure of a
push button (programme or half load push
button).

The countdown will decrease with step of 3
hours and you are informed of this by the
indicator lights of the hours.

Operating sequence

41

During the countdown the only indicator lights
illuminated are the programme light and the
light of the number of hours to the start of the
programme.

Once the delayed time has elapsed the
programme will start automatically.

It is possible to stop a countdown in
progress or before it starts, simply
pressing the delay start push button
until the indicator lights of the hours are
off.

9. To cancel a programme in
progress

A programme in progress can be cancelled at
any time.

Press for about 3 seconds the push button of
the running programme until all indicator lights
are off.

Only the On/Off indicator light will remain on
once the programme has been cancelled.

It is now possible to select a new washing
programme.

10. At the end of the washing
programme

The dishwasher will automatically stop and
the phase indicator light end of programme
will come on.

The indicator light of the programme just
ended will remain on.

The dishwasher has finished the programme
only when the end of programme indicator
light is illuminated.
If you do not wait for the end of the
programme it will not be possible to start a
new programme if first you do not cancel the
previous.
(For instructions on how to cancel a
programme see point 9)

If during the drying phase (drying indicator
light illuminated) the dishwasher door is
opened or the On/Off push button is pressed,
the running programme is automatically
cancelled.
In this case the machine returns to setting
mode and it is possible to select a new
washing programme without cancelling the
previous.

Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the
On/Off push button.

Wait 15/20 minutes before opening the
dishwasher’s door; in this way you will
avoid burning yourself removing the
dishes and avoid also the damage of the
nearby furniture caused by the escape of
steam.

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.

Important!
In general it is not advisable to open the
door while the machine is working; if the
door is opened however, a safety device
ensures that the machine stops.
Care must be taken if the door is opened
during the hot phase or immediately after
a programme has finished, as steam may
escape.

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

42

Internal cleaning

Ensure that the seals around the door, the detergent
and rinse aid dispensers are cleaned regularly with
a damp cloth.

We recommend every 3 months to run a 65°C wash
programme without dishes using detergent.

Cleaning the filters

The filters in the base of the washing compartment
are to large extent self-cleaning. Nevertheless the
filters should be checked and cleaned from time to
time. Dirty filters will degrade the washing result.

1. Open the door, remove the lower basket.

2. The dishwasher filter system comprises a

coarse/fine filter, microfilter and a flat filter.
Unlock the filter system using a handle on the
microfilter, and remove.

3. Turn the handle about

1

/4a turn anticlockwise

and remove.

4. Take hold of the coarse/fine filter (1/2) by the

handle with the hole and remove from the
microfilter (3).

5. Clean all filters thoroughly under running water.

6. Remove the flat filter (4) from the base of the

washing compartment and clean both faces
thoroughly.

7. Put the flat filter back in the base of the washing

compartment.

8. Place the coarse/fine filter in the microfilter and

press together.

9. Put the filter combination in place and lock by

turning the handle clockwise to the stop. During
this process ensure that the flat filter does not
protrude above the base of the washing
compartment.

The dishwasher must not be used without
filters.
Incorrect repositioning and fitting of the
filters will produce poor washing results.
Cleaning the filters is vital to ensure
correct operation of the machine.

Maintenance and cleaning

MA15
MA17

MA16

43

Check that the WRD is not clogged with detergent
residue. If necessary rinse it under running water
after having removed it from the basket by twisting it
anticlockwise and pulling it upwards.

Fasten it back onto the support by turning it
clockwise.

Never use your dishwasher without the
WRD dispenser.
Since WRD also ensures correct
distribution of the water to the upper spray
arm, running the dishwasher without it will
impair the washing results.

External cleaning

Clean the external surfaces of the machine and
control panel with a damp soft cloth. If necessary
use only neutral detergents. Never use abrasive
products, scouring pads or solvent (acetone,

trichloroethylene etc....).

Prolonged periods of non­operation

If you are not using the machine for any period
of time you are advised to:

1. Unplug the appliance and then turn off the water.

2. Fill the rinse aid dispenser.

3. Leave the door ajar to prevent the formation of

any unpleasant smells.

4. Leave the inside of the machine clean.

Frost precautions

Avoid placing the machine in a location where the
temperature is below 0°C. If this is unavoidable,
empty the machine, close the appliance door,
disconnect the water inlet pipe and empty it.

Moving the machine

If you have to move the machine (moving house

etc....):

1. Unplug it.

2. Turn the water tap off.

3. Remove the water inlet and discharge hoses.

4. Pull the machine out together with the hoses.

Avoid over tilting the machine during transportation.

Certain problems are due to lack of simple maintenance or oversights, which can be solved easily without calling out
an engineer.

The dishwasher is fitted with a number of alarm systems which can help you to quickly determine the cause of any
problems.

The dishwasher will not start or stops during operation. All push buttons are inoperative except for the On/Off push
button. The indicator light of the programme under and one or more of the phase indicator lights (washing, drying,
end of programme) are flashing.

Press the On/off push button to switch off the dishwasher and carry out the following suggested corrective actions
listed below.

Once the checks have been carried out switch on the dishwasher and start a washing programme, if the fault code
reappears in the digital display, contact your local Service Force Centre.

Any electrical work required to install
this appliance should be carried out by a
qualified electrician or competent
person.

Any plumbing work required to install
this appliance should be carried out by a
qualified plumber or competent person.

Remove all packaging before positioning the
machine.

If possible, position the machine next to a water tap
and a drain.

Water supply connections

Your dishwasher can be connected to either a cold
or hot water supply of max. 60°C.

Never connect your dishwasher to open hot
appliances and continuous flow heaters!

Nevertheless we advise you a cold water supply. A
hot water supply is not always efficient with very
soiled crockery as it shortens the washing
programmes.

Avoid bends or kinks in the hose which could
prevent or slow down the water supply.

If the machine is connected to new pipes or pipes
which have not been used for a long time, you
should run the water for a few minutes before
connecting the inlet hose. This will prevent deposits
of sand or rust clogging the inlet hose filter.

The water pressure must be within the limits given in
the technical specifications.

Your local Water Authority will advise you on the
average mains pressure in your area.

Your dishwasher has been built in accordance with
the valid regulations governing water-consuming
appliances and is equipped with safety devices
which prevent used water from flowing back into the
drinking water mains.

Installation instructions

This appliance complies with the following E.E.C. Directives:

- 73/23 of 19.2.73 (Low Voltage Directive) and subsequent modifications;

- 89/336 of 3.5.89 (Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive) and subsequent modifications.

Water outlet hose connection

The end of the drain hose can be connected in the
following ways:

1. To the sink outlet spigot, securing it if necessary

with a clip.

2. Hooked over the edge of the sink using the

special curved plastic guide provided.

3. To a stand pipe provided with vent-hole, minimum

internal diameter 4 cm.

The waste connection must be at a height of
between 30 cm (minimum) and 100 cm (maximum)
from the bottom of the dishwasher.

The drain hose can face either to the right or left of
the dishwasher

Ensure the hose is not bent or squashed as this
could prevent or slow down the discharge of water.

The sink plug must not be in place when the
machine is draining as this could cause the
water to siphon back into the machine.

If you use a drain hose extension it must be no
longer than 2 metres and its internal diameter must
be no smaller than the diameter of the hose
provided.

Likewise the internal diameter of the couplings used
for connections to the waste outlet must be no
smaller than the diameter of the hose provided.

Electrical connection

Before plugging the appliance into the wall socket,
make sure that:

1. The mains voltage corresponds to the voltage

given in the "Technical specifications".

2. The meter, fuses, mains power supply and wall

socket can all take the maximum load required.
Make sure that the socket and plug are
compatible without having to use any type of
adaptor. If necessary, have the domestic wiring
system socket replaced.

Safety standards require the appliance to
beearthed.
The manufacture accepts no liability for
failure to observe the above safety
precautions.

Attention!
Our appliances are supplied with a
security device to protect against the
return of dirty water back into the
machine.
If the spigot of your sink has a "no return
valve" incorporated this can prevent the
correct draining of your dishwasher.
We advise you therefore to remove it.

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.
