Fuses and plugs

This appliance should be used only on a socket with a minimum rating of 13 Amp.

Our ready-fitted plug is already equipped with a 13 amp fuse which is BS 1362 ASTA approved.

Any replacement should be exactly the same.

If the fuse cover is lost, do not use the plug until it is replaced.

A correct replacement fuse cover (obtainable from your dealer or Electricity board) must be the same colour as shown or named on the insert on the base of the plug.

Manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage due to non-earthing of the machine.

CE This appliance complies with Directives 89/336/EEC, 73/23/EEC and following changes.

Water connection

IMPORTANT

The appliance must be connected to the water mains using new hose-sets. The old hose-sets should not be reused.

■ The inlet and drain hoses can be directed to left or right.

IMPORTANT

The dishwasher can be connected to either cold or hot water, as long as it is no hotter than 60 °C.

■ Water pressure must be between 0.08 MPa and 0.8 MPa. If the pressure is below the minimum consult our service department for advice.

■ The inlet hose must be connected to a tap so that the water supply can be cut off when the machine is not in use (fig. 1 B).

■ The dishwasher is fitted with 3/4" threaded connector (fig. 2).

■ Connect inlet hose "A" to water tap "B" with a 3/4" attachment making sure that it has been properly tightened.

■ If it is necessary, the inlet pipe can be lengthened up to 2.5 m. The extension pipe is available from the After Sales Service Centre.

If limescale deposits or sand are present in the water, it is advisable to obtain the appropriate filter, art. 9226085, from the After Sales Service Centre (fig. 3). The filter "D" must be inserted between the tap "B" and the inlet hose "A", remembering to fit the washer "C".

If the dishwasher is connected to new pipes or to pipes which have not been in use for a long time run water through for a few minutes before connecting the inlet hose. In this way no deposits of sand or rust will clog up the water inflow filter.

Connecting the outlet hose

■ The outlet hose should discharge into a standpipe, making sure that there are no kinks (fig. 4).

■ The standpipe must be at least 40 cm above floor level and it must have an internal diameter of at least 4 cm.

■ It is advisable to fit an anti-odour air trap (fig. 4X).

■ If necessary the outlet hose can be extended up to 2.5 m, provided that it is kept at a maximum height of 85 cm above floor level. The extension pipe is available from the After Sales Service Centre.

■ The hose can be hooked over the side of the sink, but it must not be immersed in water, in order to prevent water from being syphoned back to the machine when this is in operation (fig. 4Y).

■ When installing the appliance under a worktop the hose pipe clamp must be attached to the wall in the highest possible position under the worktop (fig. 4Z).

■ Check that there are no kinks in the inlet and outlet hoses.

INSTALLATION IN FITTED KITCHENS

Fitting between existing cabinets

■ The height of the dishwasher, 85 cm, has been designed in order to allow the machine to be fitted between existing cabinets of the same height in modern fitted kitchens. The feet can be adjusted so that correct height is reached.
■ The laminated top of the machine does not require any particular care since it is heatproof, scratchproof and stainproof (fig. 5).
■ The work top can be easily adjusted to line it with the top of existing cabinets; this is done by moving it by 5 mm each time up to a maximum of 25 mm.
■ To adjust it, unscrew the two screws at the back and fix the top in the position required (fig. 6).

Opening the door

Put your hand into the recess and pull. If the machine comes open while it is working, an electrical safety device automatically switches everything off.

IMPORTANT

For the machine to work properly, the door should not be opened while it is in operation.

Underneath existing work top

(when fitting beneath a work top)

In most modern fitted kitchens there is only one single work top under which cabinets and electrical appliances are fitted. In this case remove the work top of the dishwasher by unscrewing the screws under the rear edge of the top (fig. 6).
■ The height will then be reduced to 82 cm, as scheduled by the International Regulations (ISO) and the dishwasher will fit perfectly under the kitchen working top (fig. 7).

Closing the door

Place the baskets in the machine.

Make sure that both the spray arms are free to rotate and are not obstructed by cutlery, crockery or pans. Close the door, pressing on it to make sure it is firmly shut.

WATER SOFTENER UNIT

Depending on the source of the supply, water contains varying amounts of limestone and minerals which are deposited on the dishes leaving whitish stains and marks.

The higher the level of these minerals present in the water, the harder the water is. The dishwasher is fitted with a water softener unit which, through the use of special regenerating salt, supplies softened water for washing the dishes. The softener unit can treat water with a hardness of up to 60°fH (French grading) or 33°dH (German grading) through five different settings.

The degree of hardness of your water can be obtained from your water supply company.

Regulating the water softener

The table below lists different degrees of water hardness with the corresponding setting for the softener unit.

*The water softener unit is set in the factory at level 2, as this is suitable for the majority of users.

If your water is at level 0, you need not use any regenerating salt, nor need you make any adjustment, as your water is soft.

According to the degree of hardness of your water, regulate the softener unit in the following way:

1. remove the lower rack. Unscrew and remove the cap from the salt dispenser located in the bottom of the tub (fig. A"1");
2. turn the selector screw to the required position with a screwdriver or a knife.

Level	Water hardness	Water hardness	Use of regenerating salt	Water softener setting	N° of washes
	° fH (French)	° dH (German)
0	0-9	0-5	NO	FREE
1	10-30	6-16	YES	position N.1	50
*2	31-40	17-22	YES	position N.2	40
3	41-50	23-27	YES	position N.3	30
4	51-60	28-33	YES	position N.4	20

Loading the salt

■ On the bottom of the machine there is a container for the salt for regenerating the softener.
■ It is important to use only a salt that is specifically designed for dishwasher. Other types of salt contain small quantities of insoluble particles which over a long period of time may affect and deteriorate the softener performance.
■ Toadd salt, unscrew the cap of the container on the bottom and then refill the container.
■ During this operation a little water will overflow; but keep adding salt until the container is full. When the container is full, clean the thread of salt residue and retighten the tap.
■ After loading the salt, it is recommended running a complete washing cycle, or COLD RINSE programme. The salt dispenser has a capacity of between 1.5 and 1.8 kg and, for efficient use of the appliance, it should be refilled from time to time according to the regulation of the water softener unit.

IMPORTANT (Only for first start up) When the appliance is used for the first time, after completely filling the salt container, it is necessary to add water until the container overflows.

Salt loading indicator

This model is provided with an indicator light on the control panel which will light up when it is necessary to reload the salt container.

IMPORTANT The appearance of white stains on dishes is generally an important sign that the salt container needs filling.

LOADING DISHES

Using the upper basket

■ The upper basket is provided with mobile racks hooked to the sides of the basket which can be regulated in two positions: upright and lowered. In the lowered position the racks may be used for tea and coffee cups, kitchen knives and ladles. Glasses with stems may be safely hung on the ends of the racks. Glasses, cups, saucers and dessert plates may be loaded under the racks.
■ Soup plates and ordinary plates may be loaded with the rack in the upright position. Plates should be loaded vertically with the underside of the plate towards the back of the dishwasher with a space between each plate to allow water to pass freely.
■ It is advisable to load plates of the same size together in order to utilize maximum basket capacity.
■ Plates may be loaded in a single row (fig. 1) or on both rows (fig. 2).
■ It is advisable to load large plates (approx. 27 or more cm) slightly tilted towards the rear to facilitate introduction of the basket into the machine.

■ Salad bowls and plastic bowls may also be loaded on the upper basket. It is advisable to block these in place so that the jets of water do not make them overturn.
■ The upper basket has been designed to offer maximum flexibility in use and can be loaded with up to 24 plates on two rows, up to 30 glasses on five rows or a mixed load.

Using the lower basket

■ Saucepans, oven dishes, tureens, salad bowls, lids, serving dishes, dinner plates, soup plates and ladles can be loaded on the lower basket.
■ Place the cutlery in the plastic cutlery holder with the handles pointing upwards.
■ Place the cutlery holder on the lower basket (fig. 3), making sure that the cutlery does not get in the way of the rotating arms.

IMPORTANT

The lower basket has a safety-stop device, for its safe extraction, also especially useful with a full load. For loading salt, cleaning filter and for ordinary maintenance, the complete extraction of the basket is necessary.

LOADING THE DETERGENT AND THE RINSE AID

Filling the detergent container

IMPORTANT

It is essential to use a detergent that is specifically designed for dishwashers either in powder, liquid or tablet form.

"FINISH" gives very good results and can be easily obtained.

Unsuitable detergents (like those for washing up by hand) do not contain the proper ingredients for use in a dishwasher, and stop the dishwasher from working correctly.

Normal wash

The detergent container is inside the door (fig. A "2"). If the lid of the container is closed, press the button (A) to open.

At the end of every wash cycle the lid is always open and ready for the next time the dishwasher is used.

WARNING!

When loading the lower basket, please ensure that the plates or others do not obstruct the detergent dispenser.

The amount of detergent to be used varies according to how dirty the dishes are and on the type of dishes to be washed. We advise using 20:30 g of detergent in the wash section of detergent compartment (B).

After pouring the detergent into the container, close the lid, firstly pushing (1) and then pressing on it (2) until you hear the click.

Since not all detergents are the same the instructions on the boxes of detergent can vary. We should just like to remind users that too little detergent does not clean the dishes properly whilst too much detergent will not produce better results and is also a waste.

IMPORTANT

Do not use an excessive amount of detergent and help limit damage to the environment at the same time.

CAUTION!

IMPORTANT NOTE ON THE USE OF COMBINED DETERGENTS

If you are planning to use combined detergents i.e. those with built in salt and/or rinse agent, we would advise the following:

■ read carefully and follow the manufacturer's instructions given on the packaging;
■ some combined detergents, particularly those with built in rinse agent, provide best results when used with specific programmes;

■ the effectiveness of detergents containing the built in water softener/salt depends on the hardness of your water supply. Check that the hardness of your water supply is within the effective range given on the detergent packaging.
In certain circumstances use of combined detergents can cause:
■ limescale deposits on dishes or in the dishwasher:
■ a reduction in washing and drying performance.

Filling the rinse aid container

The rinse aid, which is automatically released during the last rinsing cycle, helps the dishes to dry quickly and prevents spots and stains forming.

The rinse aid container can be found to the left of the detergent container (fig. A "3").

To open the lid, push the reference mark and, in the same time, pull the tab of opening.

It is always advisable to use rinse aid that is specifically designed for dishwasher. Check the rinse aid level through the indicator eye (C) which is located on the dispenser.

Regulating the rinse aid from 1 to 6

The regulator (D) is placed under the lid and can be turned using a coin.
The recommended position is 4. The limestone content of the water considerably affects the formation of limescale and the drying performance.
It is therefore important to regulate the quantity of rinse aid to achieve good washing results.
If, after the wash, streaks occur on the dishes, decrease the amount by one position. If whitish spots occur, increase the amount by one position.

Should this occur, we would recommend using traditional separate products – salt, detergent and rinse agent. This will ensure that the water softener in the dishwasher operates correctly.

Please note that on return to the use of conventional salt, a number of cycles will be required before the system becomes fully efficient again.

IMPORTANT

Any problems which arise as a direct result of the use of these products are not covered by our warranty.

CLEANING THE FILTERS

The filter system (fig.A "4") consists of:

a central container that traps the larger particles;

a flat gauze that continuously filters the wash water;

a micro filter, located beneath the gauze, that traps the tiniest particles ensuring a perfect rinse.

■ To achieve excellent results every time, the filters should be checked and cleaned after each wash.
■ Toremove the filter unit, simply turn the handle anticlockwise (fig. 1).
■ For ease of cleaning, the central container is removable (fig. 2).
■ Remove the gauze filter (fig.3) and wash the whole unit under a jet of water. If necessary a small brush can be used.
■ With the Self-cleaning Micro filter, maintenance is reduced and the filter unit need only be checked every two weeks. Nevertheless, after each wash it is advisable to check that the central container and the gauze filter are not clogged.

WARNING!

After cleaning the filters, make sure that they are correctly reassembled and that the gauze filter is properly positioned at the bottom of the dishwasher.

Make sure that the filter is screwed back, clockwise, into the gauze, as poor seating of the filter unit could have an adverse effect on the efficiency of the appliance.

IMPORTANT

Never use the dishwasher without the filters.

PRATICAL HINTS

How to get really good wash results

■ Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove any remaining food (bones, shells, pieces of meat or vegetables, coffee grounds, skin of fruit, cigarette ash, tooth picks etc. to avoid blocking the filters, water outlet and washing arm nozzles.
■ Try not to rinse the dishes before loading them into the dishwasher.
■ If saucepans and oven dishes are encrusted with the remains of burnt or roast food, it is advisable to leave them to soak before washing.
■ Place the dishes face downwards.
■ Try to place the dishes in such a way that they are not touching one another. If they are loaded properly you will get better results.
■ After loading the dishes check that the washing arms can rotate freely.
■ Pans and other dishes that have particularly stubborn food particles or remnants of burnt food should be left to soak in water with dishwasher detergent.
■ Towash silver properly:

a) rinse the silver immediately after use, especially if it has been used for mayonnaise, eggs, fish etc.;
b) do not sprinkle detergent onto it;
c) keep it separate from other metals.

How to make savings

If you want the dishwasher to give a complete wash, place the dishes in the dishwasher at the end of each meal and if necessary turn on the COLD RINSE cycle to soften the food remains and remove bigger particles of food from the new load of dishes. When the dishwasher is full start the complete wash cycle programme.
■ If the dishes are not very dirty or if the baskets are not very full select an ECONOMY programme, following the instructions in the program list.

What not to wash

• It should be remembered that not all dishes are suitable for washing in a dishwasher. We advise against using the dishwasher to wash items in thermoplastic, cutlery with wooden or plastic handles, saucepans with wooden handles, items in aluminium, crystal, leaded glass unless otherwise stated.
  ■ Certain decorations may fade. It is therefore a good idea before loading the whole batch to wash just one of the items first so as to be sure that others like it will not fade.
  ■ It is a good idea not to put silver cutlery with non-stainless steel handles into the dishwasher as there could be a chemical reaction between them.

IMPORTANT

When buying new crockery or cutlery always make sure that they are suitable for washing in a dishwasher.

Useful hints

■ In order to avoid any dripping from the top rack, remove the lower rack first.
■ If the dishes are to be left in the machine for some time, leave the door ajar, to let some air circulate and to improve the drying performance.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

■ To clean the dishwasher outside, do not use solvents (degreasing action) neither abrasives, but only a cloth soaked with water.
■ The dishwasher does not require special maintenance, because the tank is self-cleaning.
■ Regularly wipe the door gasket with a damp cloth to remove any food remains or rinse aid.
■ It is advisable to remove limestone deposits or dirt periodically, by doing an empty wash; pour a glass of vinegar on the bottom of the tank and select the light wash.
■ If, in spite of the routine cleaning of the filters, you notice that the dishes or pans are not properly washed or rinsed, check that all the spray heads on the rotor arms (fig. A "5") are clear.

If they are blocked, clean them in the following way:

1. to remove the upper rotor arm, turn it until it lines up with the stop marked by the arrow (fig. 1). Push it upwards (fig. 1b) and, keeping it pushed in, unscrew it in a clockwise direction (to reassemble it repeat the same operation, but turn it anticlockwise). The lower rotor arm can be removed simply by pulling it upwards (fig. 2);
2. wash the rotor arms under a jet of water to clear any blockage in the spray heads;
3. when you have finished, refit the rotor arms in the same position, remembering to re-align the arrow and screw into position.
   ■ Both the door lining and the tank lining are in stainless steel; however, should spots caused by oxidation occur, this is probably due to a high level of iron salts presents in the water.
   ■ The spots can be removed with a mild abrasive agent; never use chlorine based materials, steel wool, etc.

WHEN CYCLE IS FINISHED

After every wash it is essential to turn off water supply and to switch off the machine by pressing the On/Off button to the off position.

If the machine is not going to be used for some time, it is advisable to follow these rules:

1. do an empty wash with detergent in order to clean the machine of any deposits;
2. pull out the electric plug;
3. turn off the water tap;
4. fill the rinse aid container;
5. leave the door ajar;
6. keep the inside of the machine clean;
7. If the machine is left in places where the temperature is below 0° C any water left inside the pipes may freeze. Wait until the temperature rises above zero and then wait for about 24 hours before starting up the dishwasher.

PROGRAMME SELECTION AND SPECIAL FUNCTIONS

(Use in conjunction with programme guide)

IMPORTANT

The dishwasher has two very practical functions:

• the "recommended" programme (which is ideal for full load daily use) for quick and accurate selection;
• the "Auto' Memory", function saves any programme used at least 3 times consecutively, so that if you regularly use the same washing cycle you do not have to continually set the programme thereby saving time and effort.

Programme settings

■ Open the door and place the dirty dishes inside the appliance.
■ Press the "ON/OFF" button ①.
■ After pressing the "ON/OFF" button, the indicator light which is factory set "recommended", or the indicator light for the "Auto' Memory" programme will flash.
■ If you wish to select an option, press the option button (the corresponding indicator light will light up).

The option button can be selected or deselected WITHIN 2 minutes of the programme commencing.

• Choose a programme by pressing the corresponding button.
  ■ When the door is shut, after an audible signal has sounded, the programme will start automatically.

IMPORTANT

To select the "COLD RINSE" programme, simultaneously press the "RAPID" programme button and "HALF LOAD" option button.

Programme interruption

Opening the door when a programme is running is not recommended especially during the main wash and final hot rinse phases. However, if the door is opened while a programme is running (for example, to add dishes) the machine stops automatically.
Close the door, without pressing any buttons. The cycle will start from where it left off.

IMPORTANT

A running program can be interrupted without opening the door by pressing the "ON/OFF" button. In this case, simply press the "ON/OFF" button again to restart the cycle from where it left off.

WARNING!

If you open the door during the drying cycle, an audible audio signal advises you that the drying cycle has not yet finished.

Changing a running programme

Proceed as follows to change or cancel a running program:

■ Hold down the current programme button (with the indicator light on) for at least 5 seconds. The programme indicator lights (except for the "RAPID" programme indicator light) will flash.
■ The running programme will be cancelled and the indicator light for the "recommended" programme or the indicator light for the programme that was used at least 3 times consecutively will start to flash.
■ At this point a new programme can be set.

IMPORTANT

To cancel the "COLD RINSE" programme, simultaneously hold down the "RAPID" programme button and "HALF LOAD" option button.

WARNING!

Before starting a new programme, you should check that there is still detergent in the dispenser. If necessary, top up the dispenser.

If there is any break in the power supply while the dishwasher is operating, a special memory stores the selected programme and, when the power is restored, it continues where it left off.

Programme operations

When a programme is running the relevant indicator light will remain on and the 3 "PROGRAMME STATUS" indicator lights ("WASH", "RINSE", and "DRY") will light singularly and in sequence to indicate the current phase.

Programme end

A 5 second alarm will sound (if not muted) 3 times at 30 second intervals to signal that the programme has ended.

The "PROGRAMME STATUS" indicator lights will turn off and the selected programme indicator light (2 indicator lights for the "COLD RINSE" programme) will start to flash.

Dishes can now be removed and the dishwasher turned off by pressing the "ON/OFF" button or dishes can be loaded for new cycle.

Option button

"HALF LOAD" button

By using this option, it is possible to wash a smaller quantity of crockery: you should load only the upper basket for dishes and place cutlery in the tray in the bottom basket.

This reduces water and energy consumption and requires a smaller quantity of detergent.

"DELAY START" button

The dishwasher start time can be set with this button, delaying the start by 3, 6 or 9 hours.

Proceed as follows to set a delayed start:

■ Press the "DELAY START" button (each time the button is pressed the start will be delayed by 3, 6 or 9 hours respectively and the corresponding time indicator light will illuminate).

■ Tostart the countdown, press the selected programme button (the relevant indicator light will come on, while the set time indicator light will start to flash).

If a 9 hour delay is set, countdown will be displayed by the 6h indicator light after 3 hours and the 3h indicator light after 6 hours.

At the end of the last 3 hours (at the end of countdown) the 3h indicator light will stop flashing and remain on to indicate the washing phase and the programme will start automatically.

If countdown has not ended, whereby the programme has not yet started, it is possible to change or cancel the delayed start and select another programme or to select/deselect the option button, proceeding as follows:

■ Hold down the selected programme button for at least 5 seconds. The programme indicator lights (except for the "RAPID" programme indicator light) will flash.
■ The selected programme will be cancelled and the indicator light for the "recommended" programme or the indicator light for the programme that was used at least 3 times consecutively will start to flash.

■ Press the "DELAY START" button to set another delayed start time (the corresponding indicator light will turn on).
■ A new programme can be set after a delayed time has been changed or cancelled or an option button has selected or deselected.

Alarm mute

The alarm for the programme end may be muted as follows:

■ With the dishwasher off, hold down the "HALF LOAD" button for few seconds while simultaneously pushing the "ON/OFF" button, releasing them only after the alarm sound.
■ Press the "HALF LOAD" button again: the relevant indicator light (turned on to indicate that the buzzer is activated) will flash (to indicate that the alarm is off).
■ Wait for the alarm to sound to indicate that the settings were saved.
■ To turn the alarm on again, follow the same procedure.

Fault signals

If malfunctions or faults occur when a programme is running the indicator light that corresponds to the selected cycle (2 indicator lights for the "COLD RINSE" programme) will flash rapidly and the alarm sounds.

In this event, turn the dishwasher off by pressing the "ON/OFF" button. After checking to make sure the water inlet hose tap is open, that the drain hose is not bent and that the siphon or filters are not clogged, set the selected programme again. If the anomaly persists, contact Customer Service Department.

IMPORTANT

This dishwasher is equipped with an anti-overflow safety device which will automatically discharge any excess water should a problem occur.

WARNING!

To ensure the correct operation of the anti-overflow safety device, we recommend that the dishwasher is not moved or tilted during operation. If however it is necessary to tilt or move the dishwasher, please ensure that the washing cycle is complete and that there is no remaining water inside the dishwasher.

	Edge of saucepans have not been washed well	Reposition saucepans
	Spray arms are partially blocked	Remove spray arms by unscrewing ring nuts clockwise and wash under running water
	The dishes have not been properly loaded	Do not place the dishes too closely together
	The end of the outlet hose is in the water	The end of the outlet hose must not come into contact with the outflow water
	The incorrect amount of detergent has been measured out; the detergent is old and hard	Increase the measure according to how dirty the dishes are and change detergent
	The wash programme is not thorough enough	Choose a more vigorous programme
	The lower basket dishes have not been washed	Depress half load button
8 - Presence of white spots on dishes	Water is too hard	Check salt and rinse aid level and regulate amount.Should the fault persist, Contact Service Centre
9 - Noise during wash	The dishes knock against one another	Re-check loading of dishes in the basket

10 -The dishes are not completely dry	Inadequate air flow	Leave the dishwasher door ajar at the end of the wash program to allow the dishes to dry naturally

N.B.: Should any of the situations occur and should the machine give a bad wash performance, it is necessary to remove the deposits from the dishes by hand since the final drying cycle hardens the deposits which a second wash in the machine would not be able to remove.

If the malfunction continues contact a Service Centre quoting the serial number of the dishwasher. This is found on the plaque on the inside of the dishwasher door at the top or on the guarantee. This information will make it possible to take more effective action more quickly.
