IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING - When using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:

a) Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
b) Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.
c) Use only detergents or wetting agents recommended for use in a dishwasher and keep them out of the reach of children.
d) When loading items to be washed:

1) locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal; and
2) load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.

e) Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked "dishwasher safe" or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturer's recommendations.

Note: This statement may be omitted for an appliance that employs a heating element that is located or guarded such that melted plastic items are not likely to contact it.

f) Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.
g) Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.
h) Do not tamper with controls.
i) Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish rack of the dishwasher.
j) To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on a dishwasher.
k) Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot-water system that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot-water system has not been used for such a period, before using the dishwasher turn on all hot-water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
1) Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative if you are in doubt whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance; if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

1 UNPACKING THE DISHWASHER

UNPACKAGING

Remove the inner protection parts: polystyrene wedges for holding racks firmly.

PLUMBING IN

The dishwasher is equipped with a high pressure water connection pipe with a 3/4 (1.905 cm) directional internal pipe thread at normal temperature and pressure values (NPT).

In order to make its installation easier, the dishwasher includes a 3/8'' (0.9525 cm) brass compression part for 3/4 NPT which adapts the pipe connector to a 3/8'' compression part which incorporates the majority of the valves which close the water connection for domestic dishwashers. Alternatively, the pipe can be coupled directly to a male 3/4 brass NPT connector which is available in most hardware stores.

Adjust the direction of the pipe and the connection which comes out of the rear part of the appliance following the installation instructions.

WARNING

The hose has to pass between the wall and the bottom space at the back of the dishwasher (b1), so that it is not squashed or too rigid (b2).

It is possible to lengthen the drain pipe with material resistant to hot water and detergent. Always keep an inner diameter of at least 5/8 (1.5875 cm). Never exceed the maximum distance of 9" (22.86 cm) to the drainage piping.

Raise the drain pipe and fasten it to the lower part of the worktop. Lower it again to the drainage connection point following these instructions:

1. The connection with the drain pipe must be at least 10" (25.4 cm) from the floor.
2. The connection with the drain pipe must be no higher than 35" (88.9 cm) from the floor.

In order to make installation easier, the dishwasher includes an assembly bracket for curved drain pipes.

With an air gap

Without an air gap

IMPORTANT

It is important that the bend of the drainage hose is properly anchored in the outlet to avoid falling out and the consequent risk of flooding. The (minimum and maximum) water operating pressure must fall between 0.05 and 0.1 Mpa. Make sure that the connector for the appliance's lower pipe is properly adjusted before installing.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Please refer to the specifications label on the top edge of the door, before making electrical connections. Make sure than the voltage sent to the plug socket is the voltage which appears on the label.

The dishwasher requires an earthed 120 V, 15 Amp, 60 Hz plug socket.

The dishwasher is fitted with a flexible power cable, ending in a three pin earth plug which can be connected to a socket.

The socket for the dishwasher must be located in a cabinet or a wall next to the gap under the worktop where the appliance is going to be installed.

Make a hole with maximum diameter of 1- 1 / 2 "38 mm) in the cabinet wall through which the plug and the cable can be passed.

Instructions for the edges of this hole:

Wooden cabinets: the edge must be filed and rounded.

Metal cabinets: request a special eyelet to be made by the service workshop.

When installing or moving the dishwasher, take care not to damage the power cable.

IMPORTANT

Inside the door, on the top edge, you will find the specifications label. This label should never be removed, as it gives information about the exact model of the dishwasher, power supply, series number and warranty.

IMPORTANT

It is very important that the dishwasher is connected to earth. The electrical installation, plug, socket, fuses or circuit breaker and meter must be capable of managing the maximum power indicated on the specifications label. If the power cable is damaged, it can only be substituted by the manufacturer, After Sales Department, or authorized personnel. In the event of insertion and integration, the plug must be accessible after installation.

To install a built-in dishwasher:

WORKTOP

a If the worktop is made of wood, fit plastic protection over the worktop, which prevents the vapors affecting and damaging this area.
Fit the veneer to the front part of the dishwasher in order to fasten it to the piece of furniture.

LEGS-LEVELLING

In order to build it into a line of furniture with a single base, loosen the extra bases and remove them.
Bring it to the work top and raise it by turning the rear feet away from the front part leaving a space of around 3 mm with the worktop.
To finish positioning, adjust to desired height using the front feet.

PANELLING

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - A FEW PRACTICAL TIPS

1 RINSE-AID AND DETERGENT

The rinse-aid helps drying and prevents drops of water forming on the dishes after washing. The rinse-aid compartment is inside the door, next to the detergent.

The compartment has a 4 position dispenser to adjust the quantity of rinse-aid depending on the water quality (the dispenser leaves the factory in position 2).

If drops of water can be seen on the dishes, increase the number on the rinse-aid dispenser. If the dishes have white or sticky lines, reduce the number.

Once the level of the dispenser has been set, fill the compartment to the top, without overflowing. If it does overflow, clean the extra off with a cloth.

RINSEAID COMPARTMENT

DISPENSER

IMPORTANT

The dishes will not be cleaner by adding more rinse-aid. On the contrary, excess can produce stains.

When should you add more rinse-aid?

The dishwasher itself will tell you when you need to top up the rinse-aid. Depending on the model, there are two types of indicator: window or pilot light.

EMPTY
FULL

WINDOW

PILOT LIGHT

The detergent is poured into a compartment inside the door, next to the rinse-aid compartment.

Once the detergent has been poured in, close the compartment cover.

Some programs also require part of the dose to be put in the slot in the compartment cover.

Detergents come in tablet, powder and liquid form.

Detergent type only use detergent specifically for dishwashers.

Detergent quantity: See table on page 17.

Only sanitizing cycles (2, 3, 4) have been designed to meet requirements for sanitization efficacy.

Transparent window next to the rinse-aid compartment cover. If the window shows a clear background, a top-up is required. If the background is dark, there is enough rinse-aid.

DETERGEN CONTAINER

A light on the front of the dishwasher shows when rinse-aid must be topped up.

ECOLOGICAL WASHING

Using excessive quantities of detergent and rinse-aid does not improve washing results and besides costing you more, it has a negative effect on the environmental

UTENSILS. TYPES AND POSITIONING

Types of utensils

Not all dishes can be used in a dishwasher. It is not advisable to put in wooden or clay utensils, or non heat resistant plastic. Stainless steel cutlery can be washed

easily although make sure it does not come into contact with silver cutlery as this can stain. Aluminum items can fade over time.

The pictures on decorated porcelain could be worn away if it is not good quality.

Positioning the dishes

It is very important to fit the dishes into the racks properly to guarantee perfect washing.

a The lower rack is for the dirtiest and most resistant pieces: pans, serving dishes and plates. Make sure that there is space between them for the water jet to be able to reach them. Pans must be placed facing downwards.
b If you model has folddown racks, you can use then in their vertical position to wash plates, and horizontally for large items such as casserole dishes.

IMPORTANT

Make sure that the utensils can be used in a dishwasher.

FOR 13 PLACE SETTINGS EN-50242

PLATE LOADER

VERTICAL POSITION

HORIZONTAL POSITION

IMPORTANT

Bowls are positioned on the left and flat plates on the right. Start loading plates from the outside of the rack inwards. Plates should not touch each other.

The cutlery, with the exception of knives, should be put in the cutlery rack making sure the handles face down

Fit the more delicate pieces such as cups and glasses made of porcelain or glass, and standard sized plates in the top rack. There is an area specifically for large cutlery. There are also racks which, when vertical, can be used to hold wine glasses.

When you choose the Express program, the Top Load or Half Load function the dishes can only be fitted on the top rack.

Alternately, when you opt for the Low Load function, only the lower rack is loaded.

EN-50242

IMPORTANT

Make sure that once the dishwasher has been loaded, the water spray arms can turn without any obstacles and without touching any of the dishes.

Adjusting the racks

The racks can be adjusted depending on the load

The top rack can be fitted at two different heights so that different size plates can be washed.

In the high position, it is possible to wash standard 7 1/2 plates in the top rack and 12 1/5 plates in the lower rack. Fitting the top rack in the low positions, it is possible to wash 9 4/9 plates on top and 10 2/9 plates below.

a Model A, top rack:

It can be adjusted without removing it from its rails, even with dishes already on it. Both to raise and lower its position, you should pull the rack up by holding on to the side handles. Make sure that both sides are at the same height; if not, level them.

To select the wash program, proceed as follows:

Press the ON button on the dishwasher front panel (corresponding light will come on).

Select the wash program, with a button or a dial, depending on the dishwasher model. If you choose the Express Program, also press the Express button (above).

In some models, a pilot light will come on to show which program has been selected, and in others the program number appears in the display preceded by a "P".

There are several types of program depending on the dishwasher model. It is very important to choose the wash program correctly depending on the dirtiness, quantity and type of dishes.

PROGRAM	TEMPERATURE (°F)		DISH TYPE	AMOUNT OF DETERGENT (g)
Pre-wash P1			For dishes which will not be washed immediately	Withou detergent
Super intensive P2	161		For dishes and pans which are extremely dirty	25+15
Intensive P3	155		For dishes and pans which are very dirty	25+15
Normal P4	150		For dirty dishes	25+5
Automatic P4	130-150	Auto	For dirty dishes	25+5
Economy P5	150	eco	For slightly dirty dishes	25+5
Quick-wash P6	130		For barely dirty dishes	25
Mixed P7	130	mix	For dirty yet delicate dishes	25+5
Express*** P8	105	EX	For barely dirty dishes only placed on the top rack	20

*** The Express program should use powder or liquid detergent with optimal dissolving properties.

The wash functions must always be selected after choosing the wash program. Any change of program during selection cancels out the previously selected functions.

These functions allow specific adjustments on the wash load, timing and consumption.

The additional functions depend on the model:

Button: Time delay

Allows you to delay wash start. There are models which can delay the wash by 3, 6 or 9 hours. In this case, pressing the time delay button lights up a pilot light showing the selected option.

In other models, you can choose the time you wish to delay the wash from 1 to 9 hours with 1 hourly intervals. Ideal to make the most of economy electricity at night. For these models, pressing the time delay button, the display will show how many hours you wish to delay the wash start.
