Saving energy and respecting the environment

Saving water and energy

+ Only begin a wash cycle when the dishwasher is full. While waiting for the dishwasher to be filed, prevent unpleasant odours using the Soak cycle (see Wash cycles).

+ Select a wash cycle that is suited to the type of crockery and to the soil level of the crockery using the Table of wash cycles:

- for dishes with a normal soil level use the Eco wash cycle, which ensures low energy/water consumption levels.

- If the load is smaller than usual activate the Half Load option* (see Start-up and use).

< lfyour electricity supply contract gives details of electricity-saving time bands, run wash cycles when electricity prices are lower. The Delayed Start button * {see Start-up and use)helps you organise the wash cycles accordingly.

* Only available in selected models.

Phosphate-free and chlorine-free detergents containing enzymes + We strongly recommend that you use detergents that do not contain phosphates or chlorine, as these products are harmful to the environment. Enzymes provide a particularly effective action at temperatures around 50°C. As a result detergents containing enzymes can be used in conjunction with low-temperature wash cycles in order to achieve the same results as a normal 65°C wash cycle.

* To avoid wasting detergent, use the product in appropriate quantities based on the manufacturer's recommendations, the hardness of the water, the soil level and the quantity of crockery to be washed. Even if they are biodegradable, detergents contain substances which may alter the balance of nature.

Before contacting Assistance:

+ Check whether the problem can be resolved using the Troubleshooting guide (see Troubleshooting).

+ _Restartthe programme to check whether the problem has ceased to exist.

e If the problem persists, contact the Authorised Technical Assistance Service.

Never use the services of unauthorisedtechnicians.

Please have the following information to hand:

+ The type of malfunction.

+ The appliance model (Mod.).

° The serial number (S/N).

This information can be found on the appliance data plate (see Description of the appliance).

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

Po: ning and levelling

1. Remove the appliance from all packaging and check that it has not been damaged during transportation. lf it has been damaged, contact the retailer and do not proceed any further with the installation process.

2. Arrange the dishwasher so that its sides or back panel are in contact with the adjacent cabinets or the wall. This appliance can also be recessed under a single worktop* (see the Assembly Instruction sheet.)

3. Position the dishwasher on a level sturdy floor. If the floor is uneven, the front feet of the appliance should be adjusted until it reaches a horizontal position. If the appliance is levelled correctiy, it will be more stable and much less likely to move or cause vibrations and noise while it is operating

4*, To adjust the height of the rear foot, turn the red hexagonal bushing on the lower central part at the front of the dishwasher using a hexagonal spanner with an opening of 8 mm. Turn the spanner in a clockwise direction to increase the height and in an anticlockwise direction to decrease it (see Building-in Instruction sheet attached to the documentation.)

Connecting the water and electricity supplies

Connection to the water and electricity supplies should only be performed by a qualified technician

The dishwasher should not stand on the water hoses or electricity supply cable

The appliance must be connected to the water supply network using new hoses Do not use old piping

The water inlet and outlet hoses and the electricity supply cable may be positioned towards the right or the left in order to achieve the best possible installation.

Connecting the water inlet hose

+ To a suitable cold water connection point: before attaching the hose, run the water until it is perfectly clear so that any impurities that may be present in the water do not clog the appliance: after performing this operation, screw the inlet hose tightly onto a tap with a % gas threaded connection.

+ _To a suitable hot water connection point: your dishwasher may be supplied with hot water from the mains supply (if you have a central heating system with radiators) provided that it does not exceed a temperature of 60°C.

Screw the hose to the tap as described for connection to a

Ithe 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 (see adjacent information.)

The hose should not be bent or compressed.

Connecting the water outlet hose

Connect the outlet hose (without bending it) to a drain duct with a minimum diameter of 4 cm

The outlet hose must be at a height ranging from 40 to 80 om from the floor / surface where the dishwasher rests (A).

Before connecting the water outlet hose to the sink drain, remove the plastic plug (B)

Anti-flooding protection

To ensure floods do not occur, the dishwasher:

-is provided with a special system which blocks the water supply in the event of anomalies or leaks from inside the appliance Some models are also equipped with the supplementary safety device New Acqua Stop*, which guarantees anti-flooding protection even in the event of a supply hose rupture

k WARNING: HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE!

Under no circumstances should the water inlet hose be cut, as it contains live electrical parts

Electrical connection

Before inserting the plug into the electrical socket, make sure

+_ The socket is earthed and complies with current regulations.

+_ the socket can withstand the maximum load oftthe appliance, which is indicated on the data plate located on the inside of the door (see Description of the appliance):

+_ The power supply voltage falls within the values indicated on the data plate on the inside of the door.

+_ The socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance. If this is not the case, ask an authorised technician to replace the plug (see Assistance): do not use extension cables or multiple sockets

PA Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply cable and the electrical socket should be easily accessible

The cable should not be bent or compressed

PAN if the power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its Technical Assistance Service in order to prevent all potential hazards (see Assistance.)

* Only available in selected models:

Anti-condensation strip*

After installing the dishwasher, open the door and stick the adhesive transparent strip under the wooden shelf in order to protect it from any condensation which may form.

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. Immediately before the first washing, completely fill the salt dispenser with water and add only then approximately 1 kg of salt (see chapter entitled Rinse aid and refined salt) The water may overflow: this is normal and is not a cause for concern. Select the water hardness value (see chapter entitled Rinse aid and refined salt). - 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 number and type of wash cycles and options may vary depending on the dishwasher model.

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 nottip 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 bowis, 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.

“Only available in selected models with different numbers and positions.

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.

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 heighits 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.

Third rack The third rack was designed to house the cutlery. Arrange the cutlery as shown in the figure.

“Knives and other utensils with sharp edges must be positioned with the blades facing downwards.”

A separate arrangement of the cutlery makes collection easier after washing and improves washing and drying performance. The geometry of the rack makes it possible to place such small items as coffee cups in the area in the middle.

The third basket is equipped with two sliding side trays to make the most of the height of the space below.

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), \ift 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.

The upper rack cannot be used in the high position and with the tip-up compartments closed in a vertical position.

* Only available in selected models.

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' Advice Offices.

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.

1. When measuring out the detergent refer to the Table of wash cycles to add the proper quantity. Compariment B comprises a level showing the maximum quantity of liquid or powder detergent that can be added to each cycle

2. Remove detergent residues from the edges of the dispenser and close the cover until i clicks

3. Close the lid of the detergent dispenser by pulling it up until the closing device is secured in place.

The detergent dispenser automatically opens up at the right time according to the wash cycle

I all-in-one detergents are used, we recommend using the TABS option, because it adijusts 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 residue remaining in the machine after the cycle has ended.

The use of tablets is only recommended for models which offer the MULTI-FUNCTIONAL TABLETS option.

To achieve the best results from each washing and drying cycle, powder detergent, liquid rinse aid and salt should be used.

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 spraying pressure is stronger and the washing temperature higher, thus ensuring optimum handling of stubborn stains.

Select the option and the Normal cycle to start the SAVING ZONE washing. This function makes it possible to reduce energy consumption. Cycle duration might change.

Remember to load the crockery in the selected rack only

Rinse aid and refined salt

Only use products which have been specifically designed for dishwashers.

Do not use table/industrial salt or washing-up liquid. Follow the instructions given on the packaging.

I using a mult-functional product it is not necessary to add any rinse aid. However, we recommend that you add salt, especially if you live in an area where the water is hard or very hard. (Fo/low 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 stay lit.

Measuring out the rinse aid

Rinse aid makes it easier for the crockery to dry, as water runs off

the surfaces more readily and therefore does not leave streaks

or marks. The rinse aid dispenser should be filed:

+ Whenthe LOWRINSE AID indicator light* onthe control panel is illuminated, a reserve supply of rinse aid is still available

1. Open the dispenser “D” by pressing and pulling up the tab on the lid:

2. Carefully introduce the rinse aid as far as the maximum reference notch of the filling space - avoid spilling it. If this happens, clean the spill immediately with a dry cloth.

8. Press the lid down until you hear a click to close it.

NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the appliance tub.

Rinse-aid quantity setting

If you are not completely satisfied with the drying results, you

can adjust the quantity of rinse aid. Switch the dishwasher on

and off using the ON/OFF button. Press the Start/Pause button

3 times. Start it using the ON/OFF button; the setting is shown

on the display (Set to factory level)

Adjust the level of rinse aid supply using the P button

Press ON/OFF to save the setting.

Ifthe rinse aid level is set to ZERO, no rinse aid will be supplied

The LOW RINSE AID indicator light will not go on if you run out

Up to maximum 4 levels can be set based on the dishwasher

+_Ifthere are streaks on the crockery, set a low number (1-2.)

+_ If there are drops of water or limescale marks, set a high number (3-4.)

Setting water hardness

Every dishwasher is equipped with a water softener which uses refined salt designed specially for this type of appliance to supply water without limescale - used to wash the crockery.

This dishwasher has a setting which helps to reduce pollution and optimises washing performance in accordance with the water hardness level in your area. This information can be obtained from your local water supplier.

Switch the dishwasher on and off using the ON/OFF button Press and hold down the Start/Pause button for a few seconds until you hear a beep. Switch the dishwasher on using ON/ OFF: the set level will appear on the display (wafer softener set lo medium leve).

Adijust the hardness level using the P button (7-2-3-4-5 “see the water hardness table) up to max 5 levels.

Press ON/OFF to save the setting.

Even if using multi-functional tablets, fill the salt dispenser.

(dH = hardness measured in German degrees - °f = hardness measured in French degrees - mmol/l = millimoles per litre)

Measuring out the refined salt

In order to obtain the best possible results from a wash cycle,

make sure that the salt dispenser is never empty.

Refined salt removes limescale from the water, thus avoiding

the formation of deposits on crockery.

The salt dispenser is located in the lower part of the dishwasher

(see Description) and should be filled

+ When the green float” cannot be seen by simply looking at the cap of the salt dispenser:

+_ When the LOW RINSE AID indicator light on the control panel is illuminated *

1. Remove the lower rack and unscrew the

2. The first time you do this: fill the water

tank right up to its edge.

3. Position the funnel* (see figure) and

fill the salt dispenser up to the edge

(approximately 1 kg). It is normal for a little

4. Remove the funnel* and wipe any salt residues away from

the opening; rinse the cap under running water and then screw

iton, the head facing downwards so as to let the water flow out

of the four slots (star-shaped arrangement) in the lower part of

the cap (cap with green float*).

Itis advisable to perform this procedure every time you add

salt to the dispenser.

Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly so that no detergent can

get into the container during the wash cycle (this could damage

the water softener beyond repair)

When necessary, measure out the salt before a wash cycle so that any saline solution which has leaked out of the salt dispenser is removed
