5.2 WATER CONNECTIONThe water supply tube C, which accompanies thedishwasher, makes it possible to connect the applianceto a faucet with a 3/4” attachment.During the installation, the following instructions mustbe followed:

• Attach tube C to the cold water faucet A.
• If the tube is being attached to new pipes that havenot been used for a long time, you should let the waterrun for some time before attaching the tube in order tomake sure that dirt and rust residues are eliminated.• Make sure that the water pressure corresponds to therange indicated on the data tag.The appliance may be connected to the cold water system.It must not be connected to the hot water system.• The appliance is to be connected to the watermains using new hose sets and that old hose setsshould not be reused. LA2505-040

The curved end of drainage tube T, which is being supplied with your appliance, should be hooked onto the edge of a sink or into a drainage pipe.A special siphon should be used to prevent bad odours.During the assembly, the following precautions should be taken:- the drainage tube must not be bent to avoid blockages;- the tube’s end, relative to the top surface of the dishwasher (fig. 4), must be placed at a heightbetween 32 and 80 cm;- the end of the tube must never be immersed in water;- the drainage tube must not be extended to more than a maximum length of 1 metre. The extensionmust have the same internal diameter. Furthermore, the maximum height at which the tube’s endcan be placed (in the case of an extended tube) must be reduced from 80 to 50 cm.- If you use a drainage pipe, make sure its internal diameter is not inferior to 4 cm.

5.4 ELECTRIC CONNECTIONS

The appliance may only be connected to a properly installed electric outlet withan earth (ground) contact. The connection must be carried out in correspondencewith existing laws and regulations and supplementary rules issued by the supplierof electric power.The tension shown on the data tag must correspond to the power tension of the electricgrid at the site of installation.See data tag for the size and format of the electric outlet to be used.

If the appliance has no plug attached, it must be connected to the electricity supply by installinga switch which is directly connected to the mains. This switch should ensure the appliance isdisconnected from all the poles with a distance of at least 3 mm from the contacts.123456789011234567890112345678901123456789011234567890112345678901

Before turning on the appliance, make sure that the plug attached to the electric cable is connectedto the electric outlet, the water supply tube is connected to the faucet, the faucet is turned on, thedrainage tube has been connected according to the instructions. Regulation of the water softener system (IF INCLUDED) (control panel version with LEDs) For this reason, the appliance is equipped with a water softener(fig. 6) which is automatically regenerated in regular intervalsthanks to the saline solution. The salt consumption for theregeneration process depends on the hardness/softness of thelocal water that is being used.To guarantee an optimal regeneration of the softener it isnecessary to set device D according to your local hardness(see table) and to make sure that the salt container is alwaysfilled with special dishwasher salt.Note: When the adjustment device is in the D1 position thelow salt indicator light is deactivated. Opening of the door Pull the handle forward. The door should open without effort. If you pull the handle while the dishwasheris running, a safety mechanism will turn off the appliance.Adding special dishwasher salt(only in the salt container version)• Open the door and take out the lower basket• Remove the lid of the salt container by turning it an-ticlockwiseOnly during the first time you carry out thisoperation: fill about 1/2 litre of water into the saltcontainer• Use funnel L to fill the special dishwasher salt intothe container (use about 1.0-1.5 kg of salt).• Remove possible salt residues from the opening ofthe container.• Put the lid of the container back in its place by turningit clockwise.• If you don’t use the dishwasher immediately afterfilling the salt container, run the programme pre-washto rinse away the water and salt particles that spilledover from the container.

Indication of salt level (IF PRESENT)The green mark under the cap indicates that there is still enough salt in the container. If the green markis no longer visible, the salt container needs to be refilled with special dishwasher salt.For safety reasons we recommend to refill the container after seven wash cycles – always atthe beginning of a cycle. Use only special dishwasher salt. Other types of salt (e.g., regular household salt) often contain substances that do not dissolve completely in water and can therefore obstruct the water softener, thus making it unusable. For the washing process it is better to use soft water (with a low calcium content), to avoid calcium deposits on the dishes and on the inside of the dishwasher. To find out the degree of hardness of your water contact your town administration or use a commercial testing kit. Position

regulation device French degrees ˚fH German degrees ˚dH

Refilling of rinse aid The rinse aid, which is released automaticallyduring the final phase of the wash cycle,guarantees that the dishes dry quickly andprevents the formation of stains and calciumsediments.The rinse aid container S is located on the insideof the door.

• Fig. 8, remove the container cap T by turning it 1/4 revolution anticlockwise. Fig. 9, open cover T1.- Fill container with rinse aid up to the brokenline.Maximum quantity: about 140 ml.- Close the rinse aid compartment again.- Clean off possible residues of rinse aid with acloth, otherwise too much foam might be pro-duced during the rinsing process.Indication of rinse aid level• Electric (if included) (fig. 18-18.a)The appliance is equipped with a level indicatorfor the rinse aid. When it lights up, more rinseaid needs to be added.• Mechanical (fig. 8)More rinse aid needs to be added when theindicator (located on the container F) is clear

When the container is full, the indicator has adark coloration.Regulation of the water softener system (IF INCLUDED)(control panel version with display) To reach an optimal regeneration setting, keep the button DELAY (fig. 7) pressed when turning on the appliance. Now, the current setting is being displayed (e.g., d4). To modify the setting (within 6 seconds), press the same button again until the desired level is reached (see table). Wait for 6 seconds without modifying the setting. A buzzer sound will indicate that the new setting was accepted. On the display, the request select programme will appear.

‘Hidden’ control panel‘Exposed’ control panelNote: The salt level indicator on theDisplay is deactivated when position D1is used.

Only use rinse aids fordishwashers. Other productswon’t obtain the desired effect.

Regulation of rinse aid dosageThe regulation R of the quantity of rinse aid that isreleased can be found in the refill opening of therinse aid container.A screwdriver may be used to adjust it from aminimum position to a maximum position,depending on which version has been fitted inthe dishwasher; see figure 10 (A-B).The numbers correspond to the amount of rinseaid added, i.e. the number 1 = 1 ml.A full rinse aid container is sufficient for about 50wash cycles. The quantity of rinse aid to be releasedshould be adjusted when the result of the washprocess is not satisfactory.• Always wipe off with a cloth any rinse aid thatspilled over from the container.It is important to check the level of rinse aid inthe container periodically – if possible every31 wash cycles.Adding the detergentIMPORTANT! Do not use detergents in thisdishwasher that are made for dish washing byhand! These substances produce large quantitiesof foam but they do not clean the dishes in adishwasher. They can even lead to a malfunctioningof the appliance.You should therefore only use detergents that arespecifically made for household dishwashers.Keep your detergent containers closed and in adry place.Only when you use the pre-wash programme nodetergent is needed.During a programme the detergent is automaticallytaken from the detergent container.We recommend the use of about 25 g of detergent.Detergents vary in their strength and efficiency.You should therefore pay attention to thedosage recommendations of eachmanufacturer.The container for the detergent is located on theinside of the door.If the lid is closed:• Push forward closing mechanism P. The lid willopen with a “click”.• Fill the detergent into the container V.• To close the lid, press until you hear a closing“click”.If your dishes are exceptionally dirty, you can alsofill some detergent into the indentation of the lid. Inthis case, fill the indentation up to the edge. Thisdetergent will be available and active during thepre-wash phase. A B

There are two dish baskets that allow you to storeall different kinds of dishes.• Remove from the dishes any larger pieces offood to avoid an obstruction of the filter and thedevelopment of bad odours.• If pots and pans are particularly dirty and con-tain crusts of food (after frying or roasting), soakthem in a water bath before washing them in thedishwasher. Use of the lower basket The lower basket is intended to hold dishes thatare more difficult to clean, as well as the cutlerybasket.The lower basket holds regular plates, soup bowls,pans, soup tureens, lids, and serving dishes. Flatand deep plates must be placed in a way thatleaves some space between the individual plates.All plates must be in a vertical position so that thewater can pass freely.Pans and pots must always be placed upside down.You can choose any kind of loading configuration,but you should make sure that the dirtiest surfaceof dishes, pots and pants faces the water sprayand that the water can flow off without hindrances. Cutlery For best cleaning results, cutlery should be inserted with its handles facing down. Spoons, forks, andknifes must be placed in the specific areas of the cutlery basket that are designed for them. How to load and unload the dishwasher ATTENTION: Particularly long cutlery, specifically “long knives”, should not be positioned pointing upwards but should be placed horizontally in the top tray or washed by hand.

Use of the upper basket The upper basket can be pulled out all the way.It holds small and medium sized dishes suchas glasses, small plates, tea and coffee cups,small salad bowls, and small pans and pots thatare not very dirty. Desert plates must always beplaced vertically; glasses, cups, pots and pantsmust be placed upside down. Light dishesshould be held by a support structure so thatthey don’t get thrown around by the water jet.An optimal arrangement of dishes inside thedishwasher will guarantee best washing results,allowing the appliance will be able to developits full effectiveness. Height regulation of the upper basket (if included) The position of the drum may be adjusted usingthe side handles (right and left).1 Adjusting the lower position2 Adjusting the upper positionBecause of the elevatedtemperature of the water used towash the dishes and of potentialchemical reactions with thedetergent, it is recommended not towash copper or aluminium dishes,cutlery with wood or horn handles,delicate porcelains, or non heatresistant glass or plastic dishes inthe appliance.If you possess decorated porcelain,you should test one single piece tomake sure that the décor is notbeing damaged or altered.

MAINTENANCE 7.1 CLEANING OF SPAY-ROTORSThe spray-rotors can easily be removed for the periodic cleaning of the jets in order to prevent possibleobstructions.Wash them thoroughly under running water and put them back in their correct position.

7.2 CLEANING OF FILTERSAfter each wash the filter group should be checked in order to remove possible dirt residues. Proceed as follows:• Unscrew the external filter 1 by turning it in an anticlockwise direction.• Take out the central filter 2• Remove the fine filter 3.Clean all these components under running water. It is important to clean all filters thoroughly because thedishwasher cannot function properly with obstructed filters.We recommend to put the cleaned filters back in their positions immediately to avoid damage to the wash pump.WARNING: Dirty filters may affect good washing results.To remove the upper spray-rotor:Unscrew anticlockwise the support of the spray-rotor.To remove the lower spray-rotor:Pull the spray-rotor upwards and take it out.
