1 TECHNICAL OR FUNCTIONAL PROBLEMS

Remove the internal protection: polystyrene wedges for holding the racks firm.

2 CONNECTION TO THE PLUMBING

The water connection pipe is located on the back of the dishwasher:

a

Connect the pipe to the water inlet, tighten the connection nut and make sure it is securely connected to the appliance.

The hose must run between the wall and the bottom space at the back of the dishwasher (b1) so that it is not squashed or overstretched.

There should be a fixed water outlet drain at a distance of between 25 and 100 cm from the floor. Make sure that the outlet pipe is not too rigid, bent or squashed.

If your dishwasher has a hot water inlet, connect the pipe to the hot water tap. In this case, the maximum temperature must not exceed 60°C. Bear in mind that this type of water supply may affect the washing and drying capacity of the appliance.

IMPORTANT

It is very important for the bend pipe of the outlet hose to be located securely in the water outlet so that it cannot disconnect. The operating water pressure (minimum and maximum) must be between 0.5-10 bar (0.05-1 MPa).

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Please refer to the specification label on the top edge of the door before making the electrical connections. Make sure that the power voltage connected to the plug socket is as shown on the label.

It is very important for the dishwasher to be connected to an earthed plug socket. The electrical installation, plug, socket, fuses or circuit breaker and meter must be capable of the maximum power shown on the specifications label. If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced exclusively by the manufacturers, aftersales service (TAS) or authorised personnel. If the appliance is to be recess-mounted and integrated, the plug must be accessible after installation.

IMPORTANT

The specifications label is on the top edge of the interior of the door. This label must never be removed, since it provides information about the exact model of the dishwasher, required power supply, serial number and warranty.

4 LEVELING AND POSITIONING

To install an integrated dishwasher:

WORKTOP

a If the worktop is wooden, fit the plastic protection onto it to prevent the area from being damaged by steam.

b Fit the front brackets to the dishwasher so that it can be fixed to neighbouring units or the work surface (see point k, page 54).

LEGS - LEVELLING

c To flush-mount the dishwasher in a row of kitchen fittings sharing the same plinth, loosen and remove the base accessories.

Before fitting the dishwasher into the space, raise it up to the height of the worktop by turning the rear legs until a space of some 3 mm is left from the top.

e Then adjust the front legs to the desired height. Some integrated models include a rod for levelling the rear legs from the front.

DOOR

An information template is provided with the assembly instructions.

f An information template is provided with the assembly instructions. 9 Position the template, fix it in place and mark the position of the holes.

Drill the holes with a ∅ 2.5 mm bit and screw the supports to the panel with the curved part facing downwards.

Drill the holes with a ∅ 2.5 mm bit and screw the supports to the panel with the curved part facing downwards.

Pick up the door panel and fit the supports into the door housing. Pull it downwards, ensuring it is firmly fixed and levelled with the top part of the door. Open the dishwasher door slowly, holding the panel in place, and then fix it with the screws, ensuring the panel is correctly aligned with the door. If the door springs are not strong enough, compensate the door with the two additional screws provided in the accessories bag. Fit the dishwasher into the space. Adjust it to the worktop until the top of the dishwasher makes contact with the bottom of the kitchen fitting. k Fit the plinth in place, sawing it to obtain the desired measurement. 1 Fix the dishwasher to the worktop, in the case of a wooden worktop. If it is a granite worktop, fix the dishwasher to the adjoining fittings.

IMPORTANT

The maximum and minimum recommended weights for the door panel to be placed on the dishwasher are: Maximum: 6.5 kg. Minimum: 3 kg.

IMPORTANT

A space of at least two millimetres must be left at the sides between the kitchen fittings or electrical appliances and the dishwasher.

For integrated stainless steel models, the following installation instructions should be taken into account:

Column-integrated

Integrated beneath a worktop

PRE-WASH

Once the dishwasher has been installed correctly, it should be first used on prewash programme:

a

Open the dishwasher door.

b

Press the dishwasher ON button.

C

Select programme 1 (prewash), with no dishes or detergent.

d

Close the door. The dishwasher will start up automatically.

This is to check the installation, the connections and the drain outlet, as well as to completely wash the interior before running a wash programme.

PROG

USING THE APPLIANCE - A FEW PRACTICAL TIPS

1 WATER HARDNESS, SALT, RINSE-AID AND DETERGENT

Water hardness adjustment. Water contains scale. The more scale, the harder the water. To prevent the scale in the water from damaging the dishwasher, it is equipped with a descaler to reduce the scale and leave it perfectly clean for washing. The descaler uses salt to function.

Before starting up the dishwasher, you will need to know the water hardness in your area. You can find this out by either:

1° ■ Consulting the local Water Board, 2° ■ consulting the T.A.S. (Technical Assistance Service), or 3° ■ using the Aquadur strip included in the accessories bag, following the instructions below.

To find out the water hardness:

a Place the strip in a glass of water for one second, and then take it out.

b Shake it and wait for one minute.

c The strip will show the water hardness. Check the result of the test against the table below. You will probably need to adjust your dishwasher.

Scale level (HF)		3 HF 14-38 HF 39-50 HF 51-63 HF Over 63 HF
Scale level (DH)		DH 8-21 DH 22-28 DH 29-35 DH Over 35 DH
Test result
		Green 1 Red stripe 2 Red stripes 3 Red stripes 4 Red stripes
Dial position	Manual	No salt needed Position 1		Position 2 Position 3	Position 4
	Electronic	L0	L1	L2	L3	L4
Hardness		Soft	Standard	Medium	Hard	Very hard

HF: Water hardness (French system) DH: Water hardness (German system).

If no salt needs to be added to your dishwasher, go straight on to the "rinse aid" section.

Controlling the salt level

Depending on the model, dishwashers will have a manual or electronic salt level control.

MANUAL REGULATION

If there is a salt regulator like the one shown in the photographs (Mod. A-B) inside your dishwasher on the right-hand side, turn it to the number that corresponds to the hardness of the water in your area (see table).

To turn it to the correct position, use a coin (Mod. A) or a screwdriver (Mod. B).

This simple adjustment of your dishwasher is vital for its correct functioning. Do not ignore it.

REGULATOR Model A

REGULATOR Model B

If you wish to use combined detergent tablets (3-in-1, 4-in-1), turn the dial to the corresponding test result number. If you use traditional detergents after this, turn the dial to the test result number again.

ELECTRONIC ADJUSTMENT

If there is a salt regulator inside your dishwasher on the right, e.g. Mod. C or Mod. D, you should adjust the salt from the control panel with the dishwasher running pressing the on/off button but with no programmes running.

a Identify your dishwasher: Type A or Type B.

b Type A models (display models): Press the ⏻ button and hold it down for 3 seconds. A number with the letter “L” before it (L2) will appear on the display. Press the ⏻ button again to select the salt regulator position required.

Display models and pilot light models

Remember: You should adjust the salt position depending on the result of the water hardness test. (See table on page 57).

WHERE TO PUT THE SALT

The first time you fill the salt container, you must:

a

Pour in the salt but do not fill the container to the top.

b

Top it up with water.

The dishwasher has a salt container in the bottom of the tub.

Important: use dishwasher salt only.

c Stir with a spoon.

d Close the lid tight and clean the salt around the container.

When the salt container needs filling, you should always do it before a wash and not afterwards.

When do I need to add salt?

A pilot light will come on to show when more salt needs to be added.

Important:

our dishwasher does not

have a display or pilot light, you should periodically refill the salt that has been used (about every 20 washes for medium-hard water).

The rinse-aid helps drying and prevents drops of water from clinging to utensils after washing. The rinse-aid container is located on the inside of the door, next to the detergent container.

It has a 4-position dispenser for adjusting the amount of rinse-aid to the water quality.

If you notice drops of water on utensils, increase the position of the rinse-aid dispenser. If the utensils have white or sticky lines, lower the position.

When do I need to add rinse-aid?

The dishwasher itself will inform you of when the rinse aid needs refilling.

A pilot light on the design panel will come on when a refill is necessary.

PILOT LIGHT

IMPORTANT

You should not use salt if your dishwasher does not need it. In this case, the pilot light will remain on at all times.

RINSE-AID CONTAINER

DISPENSER

a Once the level of the dispenser has been set, fill the container to the top, but do not overfill it. If this occurs, clean the spillage with a cloth.

PILOT LIGHT

IMPORTANT

A greater amount of rinse-aid does not necessarily mean better results. In fact, too much rinse-aid can lead to water marks.

Detergent

The detergent is poured into a tank on the inside of the door, beside the rinse aid tank.

a Pour in the detergent, then close the tank cap. b Some programmes also require part of the dose of detergent to be poured into the tank cap compartment.

Detergent comes in tablet, powder and liquid form.

You can consult the amount of detergent needed on the programme chart.

If you use detergent tablets instead of traditional products (granulated salt, powder detergent, liquid rinse aid), you may notice a loss of efficiency, particularly in the case of short programmes and/or programmes with low wash temperatures.

If you notice any performance problems with your dishwasher, e.g. there is a white film on the tank or on the dishes, an accumulation of scale or poor drying efficiency, you should go back to using traditional products.

We would remind you that if you go back to using traditional granulated salt, you will need to run a few programmes before the dishwasher performs perfectly again, and there may still be some residue left on the tank and dishes.

If you wish to use combined tablet products, read the instructions and indications for use on the packet carefully.

In case of doubt, consult the cleaning product manufacturer.

We provide no guarantee for any complaints directly related to the use of this type of products.

TABLEWARE AND UTENSILS. TYPES AND POSITIONING

Types of dishes

Not all utensils can be washed in a dishwasher. Do not attempt to wash items made of wood or earthenware or plastic that is not heat resistant.

Stainless steel cutlery can be washed easily; however, ensure that silver cutlery does not come into contact as they may stain.

Items made of aluminium may fade in time.

Patterns on decorated porcelain may wear off if the quality is not good. Check with the manufacturer of China.

Only wash glasses that are dishwasher-compatible.

Cut glass should not be washed in dishwasher.

Please make sure your utensils are dishwasher-compatible.

Placing the utensils in the dishwasher

It is very important to place the utensils correctly in the racks to guarantee a perfect wash.

The lower rack is for dirtier, more resistant items: pans, oven dishes and plates. Make sure there is sufficient space between each one for the jet of water. Pots must be placed upside down.

If your model has fold-down racks, you can use them in vertical position for washing plates or in horizontal position for large items such as saucepans.

IMPORTANT

Bowls are placed on the left and plates on the right. Start loading plates from the outside of the rack to the inside. Plates should not be touching.

Cutlery, except for knives, should be placed in the cutlery rack, with the handles at the bottom.

Place the more delicate items, such as cups, glasses, porcelain or crystal, and standard-size plates in the top rack. Long cutlery has a special place. There are also racks which, when vertical, are for holding wine glasses.

If you have selected the Express programme or the Top Load function, the dishes are to be loaded into the top basket only.

If you have selected the Bottom Load function, you should load the lower basket only.

IMPORTANT

When you have loaded the dishwasher, make sure the sprinklers can spin freely and that the cutlery will not prevent the detergent tank cap from opening.

Adjusting the racks

The racks can be adjusted in accord with the load.

The top rack can be placed at two different heights for washing different-sized plates.

In the upper position, the top rack holds standard-size plates of up to 19 cm and the bottom rack holds plates of up to 31 cm. In the lower position, the top rack holds plates of up to 24 cm and the bottom rack holds plates of up to 26 cm.

a Top rack model A:

This can be adjusted without being removed from its rails, even when loaded with utensils. To raise or lower its position, pull the rack upwards by the side handles. Check that both sides are at the same height. If not, make them level.

b Top rack model B:

Remove the stop that prevents the rack wheels from coming out of the rails. Pull the rack towards you and take it out. Position the basket at the height required. Replace the stop in its original position making sure it fits right in longitudinally on the rail; you will hear a click when it locks in place.

SELECTING THE WASH PROGRAMME

The steps for selecting the wash programme are as follows:

a Open the dishwasher door. b Press the dishwasher ON button. c Select the wash programme using the PROG button. d On models without a display, a pilot light will come on to indicate which programme has been selected, and on display models the selected programme number will appear on the display preceded by the letter "P".

There are various programme types depending on the dishwasher model:

It is very important to choose the wash programme in accordance with the type and amount of utensils and level of soiling.

PROGRAMME	SYMBOL	TEMPERATURE (°C)	TYPE OF UTENSILS	AMOUNT OF DETERGENT (g)	TOTAL CONSUMPTION KWh *
Prewash P1		Cold	For utensils not to be washed immediately	Withou detergent	0,007 KWh
Intense P2		70	For very dirty utensils and saucepans	25+15	1,4 KWh
Normal o Auto** P3		65	For dirty utensils	25+5	1,2 KWh
		55-65
Economic** P4		50	For slightly dirty utensils	25+5	1,05 KWh
Quick P5		55	For very slightly dirty utensils	25	0,79 KWh
Mixed P6		50	For dirty delicate utensils	25+5	0,87 KWh
Fast*** P7		40	For very slightly dirty utensils in the top rack only	20	0,3 KWh
Hygienizer P8		75	For more ef cient bacteria elimination	25+5	1,6 KWh

25 g of powder non-concentrated detergent is the equivalent of one and a half at soup spoons or one tablet of detergent.

For tablet or liquid detergent, follow the detergent manufacturer's recommendations.

* Values for a 60W motor and 12 place settings. ** In compliance with the EN-50242 standard, the economy wash programme takes longer than the other programmes; however, it consumes less energy and is more environment-friendly. A 3-send continuous beep and a light indicate the end of the programme. *** The Express programme requires powder or liquid detergent, which dissolves easier.

4 SELECTING ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS

Wash functions must always be selected after the wash programme has been selected. If the programme is changed during the selection, the previously selected functions are cancelled. These functions make it possible to adjust the wash load, times and consumption to a maximum.

The additional functions available depend on the model:

Button: Time delay

This makes it possible to delay the start of the wash programme. Some models can delay the wash 3, 6 or 9 hours. In this case, when you press the time delay button, a pilot light comes on to indicate the chosen option.

On other models, it is possible to select the time you wish to delay the wash from 1 to 19 hours, at hourly intervals. This is ideal for cheap rate periods. On these models, when you press the time delay button, the display shows the number of hours you wish to delay the start of the wash.

Button: Top/bottom load (Duo-Zone)

Only half the dishwasher capacity is used. Top load, in the top rack, for more delicate utensils, and Bottom load, in the bottom rack, for saucepans or very dirty utensils. Valid for all programmes.

Button: Half-load

This washes half a load in the top rack only. Valid for all programmes.

IMPORTANTE

If you change the programme or press the ON/OFF button while selecting the additional functions, all the functions selected are cancelled.

5 START-UP

When you have selected the wash programme and the additional functions, close the dishwasher door and it will start up automatically.

When the dishwasher is in operation and...

• You wish to put another utensil in the dishwasher.
• You wish to change the wash programme.
• Open the dishwasher door.
• Put the utensil in the dishwasher and/or change the wash programme.
• Close the dishwasher door.

NOTE: For safety reasons the programme will restart after a few seconds.

PROG

Unless the change affects the duration of the wash programme or involves the time delay option. In this case, press the ON/OFF button (☐) to make any changes.

6

END OF PROGRAMME

When the dishwasher programme ends, a continuous beep will sound for 3 seconds. When you open the dishwasher door you will be able to see that washing has finished as a pilot light will have lit up on the design panel.

The dishwasher must always be switched off by pressing the OFF button.

7

POWER CUTS

After a power cut, the dishwasher continues to work as normal from where it stopped (it has a

minimum memory of 12 hours, depending on model type).

8

BASIC TIPS

There are a few things you should always bear in mind. If you do, your dishwasher will last longer and be more efficient.

a Fill the dishwasher: Try to make the most of your dishwasher's capacity. This will help you reduce water and electricity consumption and lead to quieter operation and be more economical. b Place the dishes correctly. For optimum wash quality the sprinklers must turn freely. The dishes must also be correctly placed so that the jet of water reaches them. c Programme selection. Select the correct wash programme and additional functions as required.

APPLIANCE MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

You should perform the cleaning operations regularly so that your dishwasher will last longer. You should do the following every three months:

• Clean the filter.
• Cleaning the spray arms.
• Clean the inside.
• Clean the outside. This will make your dishwasher last longer.

IMPORTANT

If you are planning to be away for a long period, leave the dishwasher door open so that the air can circulate freely inside the machine.

1 CLEANING THE WASH FILTER

The filter is made up of two or three parts (depending on model type): interior filter, exterior filter and filter protector. It is located at the bottom of the dishwasher under the bottom rack.

a Take out the bottom rack, remove the interior filter by turning it anticlockwise and pulling it upwards. b Remove the exterior filter. c Remove the filter protector (some models). d It is essential that filters are put back in place correctly.

Make sure the filter protector is in place. The exterior filter fits into position.

Put the interior filter in position and turn it clockwise as far as it will go.

2

CLEANING THE SPRINKLERS

The third sprinkler (depending on the model), the top sprinkler and the bottom sprinkler should be cleaned every three months. To remove the sprinklers for cleaning:

a

The third sprinkler is removed by pressing upwards on it and then unscrewing it.

The top sprinkler is fitted to the top basket. It should be totally unscrewed to remove it.

The bottom sprinkler is removed by turning the lower screw to the left to loosen it and then pulling upwards on the sprinkler.

Rinse the sprinklers under the tap and clean them with a non-scratch sponge.

The water outlet holes must be kept clean. Unblock any holes that are obstructed. Then put the sprinklers back.

IMPORTANT

Before any cleaning or maintenance operations, unplug the dishwasher from the mains.

CLEANING THE INSIDE OF THE APPLIANCE

The dishwasher should be cleaned every three months to remove the dirt lodged in the appliance.

Instead of detergent, use appliance cleaner (follow the manufacturer's instructions).

CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE APPLIANCE

Clean the outside with a cloth and soapy water. Use non-scratch and non-abrasive products. Dry with a cloth.

IMPORTANT

For safety reasons, make sure the appliance is not in operation while it is being cleaned.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If you find a problem when using your dishwasher, you will probably be able to solve it by consulting the following section.

If this is not so, please contact the TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE SERVICE and be ready to provide as much information as possible.

1 TECHNICAL OR FUNCTIONAL PROBLEMS

When the dishwasher detects a malfunction, it will give you acoustic or visual warnings, depending on the model.

On the top edge of the dishwasher door (some models), there is a table to identify possible problems.

(F1) Models with a display. These models identify the fault with the letter ‘F’ followed by a number from 0 to 10.

1 •••• Models without a display. When there is a malfunction, the dishwasher gives off a series of beeps, which stop in seconds and then start up again. You can identify the malfunction by counting the beeps (1 ••••), - door open; 2 ••••• - no water at inlet; and so on).

The dishwasher will begin to beep. If you wish to hear the beeps again, to count them press the PROG button and the beeps will sound again.

Depending on the type of malfunction, contact the technical service about the problem.
