Should the appliance be sold or transferred to another owner, or should you move house and leave the appliance, always ensure that the book is left with the appliance in order that the new owner can get to know the functioning of the appliance and the relevant warnings.

These warnings are provided in the interest of safety. You MUST read them carefully before installing or using the appliance.

INSTALLATION

Remove all packaging before positioning the machine.

Positioning

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

This dishwasher features fill and drain hoses which can be turned either to the left or the right to suit the installation.

Water outlet connection

The end of the drain hose can be connected as follows:

to the sink outlet siphon, securing it if necessary with a clip;

to a wall outlet 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 floor.

It makes no difference which way the drain hose faces, either to the right or left of the dishwasher.

Avoid bending or kinking the hose as this could prevent or slow down the discharge of water.

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 connection to the waste outlet must be no smaller than the diameter of the drain hose.

The water supply hose is fitted with a safety device, which prevents water from entering the machine should the inner hose split, due to wear.

The problem is signalled by a red or yellow indicator which appears in window (B - ).

If this happens, close the water tap and have the hose replaced.

Warning: the retaining ring (A - ) must be properly fitted so as to avoid water leaks.

Note: Only for water supply hoses with lock-fast safety device to prevent inadvertent loosening.

To detach the hose press yellow lever (C - ) and turn the retaining ring anti-clockwise.

CA06

Note: the end of the hose connected to the machine can be positioned as required, by simply slackening the retaining ring.

Re-tighten the ring securely to avoid water leaks.

Avoid bends or kinks in the hose, which could prevent or slow down the flow of water.

If the machine is connected to new pipes or pipes which have not been used for a long time, you are advised to 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.

Water supply connections

This dishwasher may be fed with either hot (max. 60°C) or cold water.

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 a lot.

For making the connection itself, the coupling nut fitted to the machine's supply hose is designed to screw onto either a 3/4 inch gas thread spout, or to a purpose-made quick-coupling tap such as the PressBlock.

The water pressure must be within the limits given in the technical specifications, as it will not function correctly if pressure is outside these specifications.

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 adapter. If necessary, have the domestic wiring system socket replaced.

Safety standards require the appliance to be earthed.

The Manufacturer accepts no liability for failure to observe the above safety precautions.

THE CONTROLS

In this fully integrated appliance the controls are located on top of the door. When selecting a programme, the door needs to be partially opened.

Audible signals have been introduced to help indicate which operations the dishwasher is performing.

Short «instruction accepted» signal

When any of the buttons is pressed: a short audible signal informs you that the machine has accepted the instruction given; if no signal is heard when a button is pressed, this means that a programme is already running or that the programme selected does not include this function.

1. ON/OFF

ON

Press this button to preset the dishwasher to accept settings (selection of wash programmes, drying options, delayed start, etc.).

The number corresponding to the first selectable programme (Rinse and Hold) appears in the digital display (2).

OFF

When the wash programme has ended, the dishwasher stops automatically (an intermittent audible signal lasting about 5 seconds informs you of this) and a flashing horizontal line appears in the digital display. To switch off the dishwasher at the end of the programme, press this button again.

Long «programme run» signal

A continuous audible signal lasting about one second, heard only when you close the dishwasher door, informs you that the wash programme is starting.

Intermittent «end of programme» signal

An intermittent audible signal, lasting in total five seconds, informs you that the wash programme has ended.

If you wish to deactivate these audible signals, press both the «ECONOMY DRY» and «DELAY START» buttons together for about 3 seconds, until three short signals are heard.

4. Intensive programme light « »

This pilot light comes on when the most energetic programme is selected (no. 2 INTENSIVE) with hot prewash, suitable for pans and particulary dirty crockery, to remind you that this programme requires an extra dose of detergent (10 g) to be poured in the SID dispenser. Follow the dosing instructions in the «Washing Programmes» chart.

5. Economy dry button

7. Cancel / programme change button

When this button is pressed, the last rinse water is not heated, with a significant saving in electrical energy. The corresponding pilot light comes on.

In this case, the dishes are not dried automatically by the dishwasher.

If the pilot light is not on, the full drying cycle will be performed.

6. Delay start button

Allows the start of the programme to be delayed by a minimum of 1 hour, up to 9 hours.

How to set the delayed start:

When the button is pressed, the number appears in the display (2).

Press the button again to select the number of hours by which you wish to delay the programme start, up to a maximum of 9.

E.g.: if you have selected number , the wash programme will start in 2 hours' time.

To cancel the delayed start set, press the button until the number appears.

Close the dishwasher door to start the countdown: a long audible signal (about one second) informs you that the function is active. If you open the door again you will see, in the display (2), how long there is to go (in hours) before the programme starts. A flashing dot in the digital display means that the delayed start function has been activated. Opening the door has no effect on a countdown which has already been started.

If, during the countdown, you wish to see the programme number selected in the display, press the Programme Selector button (3).

If, after having started the countdown by closing the dishwasher door, you wish to cancel the delayed start, press button (7) (CANCEL) for about 2 seconds until the short «instruction accepted» signal is heard.

If you wish to cancel a programme which is already running or a setting which has just been made, press this button for about two seconds until the short «instruction accepted» signal is heard.

The number for the first selectable programme (Rinse and Hold) reappears in the display whilst the programme selector light (3) flashes, to indicate that the dishwasher has been reset and that a new programme and new options may be selected.
