Installation

If the appliance must be moved at any time, keep it in an upright position; if absolutely necessary, it may be tilted onto its back.

####### Connecting the water supply

Adaptation of the water supply for installation should only be performed by a qualified technician.

The water inlet and outlet hoses may be positioned towards the right or the left in order to achieve the best possible installation. Make sure the dishwasher does not bend or squash the hoses.

####### Connecting the water inlet hose

If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialist store or an authorised technician (see Assistance).

The water pressure must be within the values indicated in the Technical Data table - otherwise the dishwasher may be function properly.

Make sure the hose is not bent or compressed.

Connecting the water outlet hose Connect the outlet hose to a drain duct with a minimum diameter of 2 cm. (A) The outlet hose connection must be at a height ranging from 40 to 80 cm from the floor or surface where the dishwasher rests.

Advice regarding the first wash cycle After the installation, remove the stoppers from the racks and the retaining elastic elements from the upper rack (if any).

Water softener settings Before starting the first wash cycle, set the hardness level of the water from the mains supply. (see chapter Rinse aid and refined salt). First load the softener tank with water, then introduce about 1 kg of salt. It is perfectly normal for water to flow out. As soon as this procedure is complete, run a wash cycle. Only use salt that has been specifically designed for dishwashers. After the salt has been poured into the machine, the LOW SALT indicator light* switches off.

If the salt container is not filled, the water softener and the heating element may be damaged as a result.

The machine has a buzzer/set of tones (depending on the dishwasher model) to inform the user that a command has been implemented: power on, cycle end etc.

The symbols/indicator lights/LEDs on the control panel/ display may vary in colour and may have a flashing or fixed light (depending on the dishwasher model).

The display* provides useful information concerning the type of wash cycle, drying/wash-cycle phase, remaining time, temperature etc.

Refined Salt and Rinse Aid

Only use products which have been specifically designed for dishwashers. Do not use table salt or industrial salt. Follow the instructions given on the packaging.

If you are using a multi-function product, we recommend that you add salt in any case, especially if the water is hard or very hard. (Follow the instructions given on the packaging.)

If you do not add salt or rinse aid, the LOW SALT* and LOW RINSE AID* indicator lights will remain lit. Measuring out the refined salt The use of salt prevents the formation of LIMESCALE on the dishes and on the machine's functional components.

little water to leak out.

Whenever you need to add salt, we recommend carrying out the procedure before the washing cycle is started. Setting the water hardness

For perfect water softener operation, it is essential that the adjustment be based on the water hardness in your house. Ask your local water supplier for this information. The factory setting is for medium water hardness.

|Water Hardness Table|Water Hardness Table|Water Hardness Table|Water Hardness Table|Average autonomy salt dispenser with 1 wash cycle per day| |---|---|---|---|---| |level|°dH|°fH|mmol/l|months| |1|0 - 11|0 - 20|1,1 - 2|5 months| |2|12 - 17|21 - 30|2,1 - 3|3 months| |3|17 - 34|31 - 60|3,1 - 6|2 months| |4*|34 - 50|61 - 90|6,1 - 9|2/3 weeks|

Loading the racks

GB

######### Tips

Before loading the racks, remove all food residues from the crockery and empty liquids from glasses and containers. No preventive rinsing is needed under running water.

Arrange the crockery so that it is held in place firmly and does not tip over; and arrange the containers with the openings facing downwards and the concave/convex parts placed obliquely, thus allowing the water to reach every surface and flow freely. Make sure that the lids, handles, trays and frying pans do not prevent the sprayer arms from rotating. Place any small items in the cutlery basket. Since plastic dishes and non-stick frying pans usually retain more water drops, their drying will be not so good as that of ceramic or stainless-steel dishes. Lightweight items such as plastic containers should be placed in the upper rack and arranged so that they cannot move. After loading the appliance, make sure that the sprayer arms can rotate freely. Lower rack

The lower rack can hold pans, lids, dishes, salad bowls, cutlery etc. Large plates and lids should ideally be placed at the sides.

| | |---|

| | |---|

Very soiled dishes and pans should be placed in the lower rack because in this sector the water sprays are stronger and allow a higher washing performance.

Several dishwasher models are fitted with tip-up sectors*. They can be used in a vertical position when arranging dishes or in a horizontal position (lower) to load pans and salad bowls easily.

| | |---|

####### Cutlery basket

The modular basket is equipped with top grilles for improved cutlery arrangement. The cutlery basket should be positioned only at the front of the lower rack

| | |---|

Knives and other utensils with sharp edges must be placed in the cutlery basket with the points facing downwards or they must be positioned horizontally in the tip-up compartments on the upper rack

Upper rack Load this rack with delicate and lightweight crockery such as glasses, cups, saucers and shallow salad bowls.

| | |---|

Several dishwasher models are fitted with tip-up sectors*. They can be used in a vertical position when arranging tea/ dessert saucers or in a lower position to load bowls and food containers.

######### Tip-up compartments with adjustable position

The side tip-up compartments can be positioned at three different heights to optimize the arrangement of crockery inside the rack.

Wine glasses can be placed safely in the tip-up compartments by inserting the stem of each glass into the corresponding slots. For optimum drying results incline the tip-up compartments more. To change the inclination, pull up the tip-up compartment, slide it slightly and position it as you wish.

####### Cutlery tray*

Some dishwasher models are fitted with a sliding tray which can be used to hold serving utensils or small cups. For optimum washing performance avoid positioning bulky crockery directly below the tray. The cutlery tray can be removed (see Figure).

| | |---|

| | |---|

The upper rack can be adjusted for height based on requirements: high position to place bulky crockery in the lower rack and low position to make the most of the tip-up compartments/sectors by creating more space upwards.

Adjusting the height of the upper rack In order to make it easier to arrange the crockery, the upper rack may be moved to a higher or lower position. The height of the upper rack should be adjusted WHEN THE RACK IS EMPTY. NEVER raise or lower the rack on one side only.

| | |---|

If the rack is equipped with a Lift-Up device* (see figure), lift it up by holding its sides. To restore the lower position, press the levers (A) at the sides of the rack and follow the rack down.

######### Unsuitable crockery

Damage to glass and crockery Caused by:

######## GB

Detergent and dishwasher use

GB

####### Measuring out the detergent

A good wash result also depends on the correct amount of detergent being used. Exceeding the stated amount does not result in a more effective wash and increases environmental pollution.

Based on how soiled the items are, the amount can be adjusted to individual cases using powder or liquid detergent. In the case of normally soiled items, use approximately either 35 gr (powder detergent) or 35 ml (liquid detergent). If tablets are used, one tablet will be enough.

If the crockery is only lightly soiled or if it has been rinsed with water before being placed in the dishwasher, reduce the amount of detergent used accordingly.

For good washing results also follow the instructions shown on the detergent box.

For further questions please ask the detergent producers. To open the detergent dispenser use the opening device “A”.

| | |---|

Introduce the detergent into the dry dispenser “B” only. Place the amount of detergent for pre-washing directly inside the tub.

If all-in-one detergents are used, we recommend using the TABS option, because it adjusts the cycle so that the best washing and drying results are always achieved.


Only use detergent which has been specifically designed for dishwashers. DO NOT USE washing up liquid. Using excessive detergent may result in foam residues remaining in the machine after the cycle has ended.

####### Starting the dishwasher


######### - The machine will switch off automatically during long periods of inactivity in order to minimise electricity consumption.


If the crockery is only lightly soiled or if it has been rinsed with water before being placed in the dishwasher, reduce the amount of detergent used accordingly.

######### Changing a wash cycle in progress

If a mistake was made in the wash cycle selection process, it is possible to change the cycle provided that it has only just begun: open the door, taking care to avoid the escaping steam, and press and hold the ON/OFF button; the machine will switch off. Switch the machine back on using the ON/OFF button and select the new wash cycle and any options desired; start the cycle by closing the door.

######### Adding extra crockery

Without switching off the machine, open the door, taking care to avoid the escaping steam, and place the crockery inside the dishwasher. Close the door: the cycle starts from the point at which it was interrupted.

######### Accidental interruptions

If the door is opened during the wash cycle or there is a power cut, the cycle stops. It starts again from the point at which it was interrupted once the door has been shut or the electricity supply restored.

To achieve the best washing and drying results, the combined use of detergent, rinse aid liquid and refined salt is required.

We recommend using detergents that do not contain phosphates or chlorine, as these products are harmful to the environment.

Wash cycles

Wash-cycle data is measured under laboratory conditions according to European Standard EN 50242. Based on the different conditions of use, the wash-cycle duration and data can change.

The number and type of wash cycles and options may vary depending on the dishwasher model.

|Wash Cycle|Drying|Options|Wash Cycle Duration|Water Consumption (l/ cycle)|Energy Consumption (kWh/cycle)| |---|---|---|---|---|---| |Eco|Yes|No|03:10’|11,0|1,04| |Intensive|Yes|No|02:30’|16,5|1,65| |Normal|Yes|No|02:00’|16,0|1,35| |Prewash|No|No|00:10’|4,0|0,01|

Care and maintenance

GB

###### Shutting off the water and electricity supplies

###### Cleaning the dishwasher

###### Preventing unpleasant odours

Cleaning the sprayer arms Food residue may become encrusted onto the sprayer arms and block the holes used to spray the water. It is therefore recommended that you check the arms from time to time and clean them with a small non-metallic brush. The two sprayer arms may both be removed.

To remove the upper sprayer arm, turn the plastic locking ring in an anti-clockwise direction. The upper sprayer arm should be replaced so that the side with the greater number of holes is facing upwards.

The lower sprayer arm can be removed by pressing on the side tabs and pulling it upwards.

###### Cleaning the water inlet filter*

If the water hoses are new or have not been used for an extended period of time, let the water run to make sure it is clear and free of impurities before performing the necessary connections. If this precaution is not taken, the water inlet could become blocked and damage the dishwasher.

Clean the water inlet filter at the tap outlet regularly.

####### Cleaning the filters

The filter assembly consists of three filters which remove food residues from the washing water and then recirculate the water. They should be cleaned if you wish to achieve the best results in every wash.

Clean the filters regularly.

The dishwasher should not be used without filters or if the filter is loose.

• After several washes, check the filter assembly and if necessary clean it thoroughly under running water, using a non-metallic brush and following the instructions below:

| | |---| | |

| | | | |---|---|---|

| | | |

| | |---|

After cleaning the filters, re-place the filter assembly and fix it in position correctly; this is essential for maintaining the efficient operation of the dishwasher.

####### Leaving the machine unused for extended periods
