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 specifically designed to eliminate lime and minerals from the water.

Loading the Salt into the Softener

Always use salt intended for use with dishwashers.

The salt container is located beneath the lower rack and should be filled as follows:

• Remove the lower rack and then unscrew and remove the cap from the salt container;
• If you are filling the container for the first time, fill 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.

The salt container must be filled when the "low salt" indicator light (located on the control panel) comes on.

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. Your local Water Board can supply the degree of hardness of the water in your area.

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 figure to the side). If necessary, rotate the ring in the 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 scheme:

Water Hardness
Clarke degree	° dH	mmol/l	Selector position	Salt consumption (Grams/cycle)	Autonomy (cycles/2kg)
0÷14	0÷17	0÷1,7	/	0	/
14÷36	18÷44	1,8÷4,4	“-”	20	60
36÷71	45÷89	4,5÷8,9	MED	40	40
>71	>89	>8,9	“+”	60	25

Detergent and Rinse Aid……

Detergent

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

Loading the detergent

To open the "A" cover on the dispenser, press the "B" button. The detergent for the wash cycle should be poured into the "C" compartment.

After the detergent has been placed in the dispenser, close the cover and press down until it clicks in place.

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

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 and should be filled after every 80 wash cycles (or when the rinse aid indicator light comes on for those models with this feature).

Loading the Rinse Aid

To open the dispenser, turn the "C" cap in the anti-clockwise 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 "F" dose adjustor, located beneath the "C" cap, with a screwdriver. There are 6 different settings; the normal dosage setting is 3.

Important

Proper dosage of the rinse aid improves drying.

If drops of water remain on the dishes or spotting occurs, the dosage adjustor should be turned to a higher setting.

If the dishes have white streaks, turn the dosage adjustor to a lower setting.

Loading the Dishwasher

Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove the large food particles to prevent the filter 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 be allowed to soak before they are washed. This will eliminate the need for extra wash cycles.

Pull out the rack to facilitate loading the dishwasher.

How to Use the Lower Rack

We recommend that you place the most difficult to clean items on the lower rack: pots, lids, serving dishes and bowls, as shown in the figure on 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 top down.
• Deep pots should be slanted to allow the water to flow out.
• The silverware basket can be doubled (see Fig. A) so that only one section may be used when the silverware load is light. This also makes space for additional pots and pans, and it can also be placed in the upper rack.
• Silverware should be placed in the silverware basket with the handles at the bottom; if the rack has side baskets, the spoons should be located individually into the appropriate slots.

Especially long utensils should be placed in the horizontal position at the front of the upper rack.

How to Use the Upper Rack

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

- 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 the sides of the rack itself (see Fig. B).

Starting a wash cycle ...

After having completed all of the installation steps in the preceding paragraphs, turn on the water all the way and press the ON-OFF button (A) located on the control panel. The "B" indicator light will come on. At this point, the appliance is on but you must wait a few seconds before programming the setting for the cycle.

Setting and Starting a Wash Cycle

Select the desired cycle by pressing the selector button (G). Each time the button is pressed, one of the "H" cycle indicator lights will come on in succession. Choose the wash cycle you feel is most appropriate for the type of dishes that need washing (consult the wash cycle table contained in this manual, especially when first using the appliance).

Press the Start/Pause button (I), and after a few seconds a short acoustic sound will indicate that the wash cycle has begun and can no longer be changed. If necessary, read the paragraph entitled "Cancelling or modifying a cycle while underway..."

Cancelling or modifying a cycle while underway ...

Premise: A cycle that is underway can only be modified if it has only been running for a short time. Otherwise, the detergent may have already been used, and the appliance may have already drained the wash water. If this is the case, the detergent dispenser must be refilled (see the paragraph entitled, "Loading the Detergent").

To modify a cycle that is already underway, press the ON-OFF button (A), then all of the settings will be cancelled.

If you forget to load some of the dishes...

The wash cycle can be interrupted by pressing the Start/Pause button. You can then load additional dishes and turn the appliance back on. The cycle will start where it left off.

Wash cycle Program Light

The wash cycle is running and the cycle indicator light (H) for the cycle will begin to blink.

At the end of the wash cycle...

Six acoustic signals will indicate that the wash cycle has finished and the cycle indicator light (H) for the cycle will begin to die out. Turn off the appliance using the ON-OFF button. Turn off the water supply to the appliance and open the door. Wait a few minutes before unloading the dishwasher to avoid handling the dishes and utensils while they are still hot and more susceptible to breakage. They will also dry better.

Setting the Wash Cycle with a Delayed Start Time

Premise: After selecting the wash cycle as indicated in the paragraph entitled, "Setting and Starting a Wash Cycle..." the delay time can be set.

By pressing the "E" button (see close-up view - 'Control panel'), the start of the wash cycle can be delayed for between 1 to 12 hours. Each time the button is pressed, the display (F) will show the number of hours for the delay period. Choose the amount of time desired. When the appliance is started with the "I" button, a short acoustic signal will sound and the delay time on the display will blink, indicating that the countdown has begun.

After the time has elapsed, the cycle will start.

NOTE:

During the delay period, it is preferable not to change any of the settings.

a) If it is necessary, all of the settings must be cancelled by pressing the ON-OFF button (A) to indicate that all of the settings have been cancelled.

At this point, all of the steps for "Setting the Wash Cycle with a Delayed Start Time" and "Setting and Starting a Wash Cycle" must be repeated, following the instructions contained in the corresponding sections.

b) If the door is opened during the delay period, the indicator will blink and an acoustic signal will sound, and the countdown will stop. It will begin again when the door is closed.

Wash Cycle Adjustment Buttons

1/2 Load Button

This button (see "Close-up View - Control Panel", letter "C") makes it possible to wash dishes using only the upper rack if there are not enough dishes for a full load. This will allow you to save on water and electrical energy. It can be used before setting any of the wash cycles, except for the intensive cycle (if included in the wash cycle table). Please keep in mind that the amount of detergent should also be cut in half.

Energy Saving Tips

• It is important to try and run the dishwasher when it is fully loaded to save on energy. In order to prevent odours from forming and food from caking onto the dishes, you can run the hold cycle.
• Choose the right wash cycle: the choice of cycle depends on the type of dishware, cookware and utensils being washed and how dirty they are.
• Use the right amount of detergent: if you use too much detergent, the result will not be cleaner dishes, but, rather, a greater negative impact on the environment.
• There is no utility in rinsing dishes, cookware and utensils before placing them in the dishwasher.

How to Keep Your Dishwasher in Shape

After Every Wash

After every wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance and leave the door slightly ajar so that moisture and odours 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 white vinegar, or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwasher.

Moving the Appliance

If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in the vertical position. If absolutely necessary, it can be positioned on its back.

Seals

One of the factors that cause odours to form in the dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning with a sponge will prevent this from occurring.

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 odours from forming within the appliance.

Cleaning and Special Maintenance

Filter Assembly

For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be cleaned.

The filter efficiently removes food particles from the wash water, allowing it to be recirculated during the cycle. For this reason, it is a good idea to remove the larger food particles trapped in the filter after each wash cycle by rinsing the "A" semi-circular filter and cup under running water. To remove the filter assembly, pull on the cup handle in the upward direction. The entire filter assembly (made up of the "A" semicircular filter and the "B" fine filter) should be cleaned at least once a month. To clean the filter and the fine filter, use a cleaning brush. Then, reassemble the filter parts as shown in the figures below and reinsert the entire assembly in the dishwasher, positioning in its seat and pressing downward.

The dishwasher must not be used without the filters. Improper replacement of the filters may reduce level of the appliance and damage dishes and utensils.

Cleaning the Spray Arms

It may happen that food particle become encrusted on the sprayer arms and block the hole (see "Close up view [interior]", letters C-F). Check the sprayer arms periodically and clean them when needed.

Troubleshooting

It may occur that the dishwasher does not function or does not function properly. Before calling for assistance, let us see what can be done first: have you forgotten to press one of the buttons or to perform an essential operation?

The Dishwasher Does Not Start

Have you checked whether:

• the plug is pushed into the socket correctly;
• the power is on in the house;
• the door is closed properly;
• the ON-OFF switch is on "ON";
• the water supply is turned on.

The Dishwasher Does Not Load Water

Have you checked whether:

• the water is turned on and the hose is connected properly;
• the water supply to the house is on and has sufficient pressure;
• the water supply hose is crimped or bent;
• the filter for the water supply hose is clogged.

The Dishes Are Not Clean

Have you checked whether:

• the water is turned on and the hose is connected properly;
• the water supply to the house is on and has sufficient pressure;
• the water supply hose is crimped or bent;
• the filter for the water supply hose is clogged.

The Dishwasher Does Not Drain

Have you checked whether: - the drain hose is crimped or bent.

Lime Deposits or a White Film Form on the Dishes

Have you checked whether:

• the lid to the salt container is closed properly;
• the rinse aid dosage is correct.

If, despite all these checks, the dishwasher still does not function and/or the problem persists, contact the nearest authorised service centre and provide them with the following information:

• the nature of the problem;
• the model type number (Mod...) and the serial number (S/N...), which are indicated on the plate located on the side of the inner part of the door.

Never call on unauthorised technicians and allow the parts which are not original spare parts to be installed.

Installation

Positioning the Appliance

Position 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 on the right or the left to facilitate proper installation.

Levelling the Appliance

Once the appliance is positioned, adjust the feet (screw them in or out) to level the dishwasher. In any case, the appliance should not be inclined more than 2°. If the appliance is level, it will help ensure proper performance.

Cold Water Connection

Connect the cold water supply hose to a threaded 3/4" (gas) connector and make sure that it is fastened tightly in place (see Fig. 1).

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.

Hot Water Connection

The water supply to the appliance can also be connected to the house's hot water line (centralised system, heating system), as long as it does not exceed a temperature of 60°C.

In this case, the wash cycle time will be shortened by about 15 minutes and the wash efficiency slightly reduced.

The connection must be made to the hot water line following the same procedures as those for the connection to the cold water line.

Anti-Flooding Protection

The 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-flooding feature operates properly, the "A" box with water supply hose must be attached to the water supply tap as shown in Fig. 1. 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 centres.

Drain Hose Connection

Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe with a minimum diameter of 4 cm, or let it run into the sink, making sure to avoid bending or crimping it. Use the special plastic support that comes with the appliance (see Fig. 2). The free end of the hose must be at a height between 40 and 100 cm and must not be immersed in water.

Attention:

The special plastic hose support 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 sized 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 plug, rather than using adaptors or the like as they could cause overheating and burns.
