• After about 1 minute, the dishwasher terminates the cycle and the indicator lights of the fourth and fifth programs (ref. pr. 4, pr. 5 fig. below) start flashing.

2.2.7 Extra Drying Option (ref. 8)

This function is designed for loads with hard to dry items such as saucepans, non-stick pans and plastic containers. This function increases the hot rinse temperature and can be used in programs featuring a final drying phase (see programs table).

PROGRAM DELAY

(available for all programs except soak)

The "program delay" function delays the beginning of the washing program up to 9 hours from the moment in which programming takes place. This makes it possible to use the dishwasher at a certain time of day.

Before programming a delay, open the door of the dishwasher, select the required washing program (see sec. 2.2. "Setting the washing program and switching on and off"). Select the amount of delay by pressing the Program delay button (ref. 11); each time you press the button, the display increases the delay before the appliance starts by 1 hour.

2.2.8 Switching off

At the end of the program, the dishwasher emits a short beep and the indicator lights of the fourth and fifth program (ref. pr. 4, pr. 5) flash below. Turn off the appliance by opening the door and pressing the on/off button (ref.1)

If it is necessary to open the door during the washing cycle, the program will be interrupted, the relative indicator light will continue to flash and a beep will indicate that the cycle has not terminated. Wait for about 1 minute before closing the door and continuing with the program. When the door closes, the program will start from where it was interrupted. This operation should be performed only if necessary as it could cause irregular program performance.

4.2.9 REMOVING THE DISHES

At the end of the washing program, wait at least 20 minute before removing the dishes in order to allow them to cool. To prevent any water droplets on the upper rack from falling onto the dishes in the lower rack, empty the lower rack first and then the upper one.

3 ENERGY SAVING AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS

Always try to run the dishwasher fully loaded.
- Do not pre-rinse the dishes under a running tap.
Use the most suitable washing program for each type of load.
- If available, connect the dishwasher to a hot water system with a temperature of up to 60^ (140°F).
- When possible, skip the drying cycle by opening the door after washing: the air and the residual heat will dry the dishes naturally.

3.1 Reducing the consumption of detergent

The phosphates contained in many popular dishwasher detergents are harmful to the environment. To avoid using excessive amounts of detergent and to save on electricity:

• Separate the more delicate items from those that are more resistant to aggressive detergents and high temperatures;
• Do not pour the detergent directly onto the dishes.

OPERATING

INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE STARTING TO USE THE APPLIANCE, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD ALL THE WARNINGS CONTAINED IN CHAPTER 7 "IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS".

Once the dishwasher has been correctly installed, prepare for use as follows:

adjust the water softening system;
- add the regenerating salt;
- add the rinse-aid and detergent.

5.1 Using the water softening system

The amount of scale contained in the water (water hardness index) can cause whitish haze on the dry dishes, which tend to become dull over time. The dishwasher is equipped with an automatic softening system which uses a special regenerating salt to reduce the hardness of the water. The dishwasher is factory set for water hardness level 3 (average hardness 41 - 60^ - 24 - 31^ / 23.6 - 35 gpg ). When using water of medium hardness, the regenerating salt container should be refilled after approximately 20 washing cycles. The salt container can hold approximately 1.7Kg (3.75 lb) of salt in grains. Some models are equipped with an optical no-salt indicator. In these models, the cap of the salt container contains a green float which descends as the salt concentration in the water drops. When the green float can no longer be seen, the container must be topped up with regenerating salt. The container is situated at the bottom of the dishwasher. After removing the lower rack, unscrew the salt container cap (ref. A fig. below) by turning it anticlockwise and pour in the salt using the funnel (following figure) supplied with the dishwasher. Before replacing the cap (ref. A fig. below), remove any salt residues from around the opening.

• When using the dishwasher for the first time, in addition to the salt it is also necessary to add one liter of water to the container.
  Each time the salt container is refilled, make sure that the cap (ref. A fig. above) is securely closed. The mixture of water and detergent must never penetrate the salt container, as this would compromise the operation of the regeneration system and cause complications requiring repair which would not be covered by warranty.
• Only use regenerating salt specially formulated for domestic dishwashers. If using salt tablets, do not fill the container completely.
• Do not use table salt as it contains insoluble substances which, over time, may damage the water softening system.
• When necessary, refill the regenerating salt container before starting the washing program. In this way, the excess saline solution will be immediately removed by the water; the prolonged presence of salt water inside the tank may lead to corrosion.

BE CAREFUL NOT TO CONFUSE THE SALT AND DETERGENT PACKAGES; ADDING DETERGENT TO THE SALT CONTAINER WILL DAMAGE THE WATER SOFTENING SYSTEM.

5.2 Using the rinse-aid and detergent dispensers

The detergent and rinse aid dispensers are situated on the inner part of the door: the detergent dispenser (ref. A fig. below) is on the left, and the rinse-aid dispenser (ref. B fig. below) is on the right.

WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE SOAK PROGRAM, BEFORE EVERY WASHING CYCLE IT IS NECESSARY TO ADD THE REQUIRED AMOUNT OF DETERGENT TO THE DETERGENT DISPENSER. THE RINSE AID, ON THE OTHER HAND, SHOULD ONLY BE ADDED AS REQUIRED.

5.2.1 Adding the rinse-aid

The rinse aid helps the dishes dry faster and prevents the formation of scale deposits and staining; it is automatically added to the water during the final rinse cycle, from the container situated on the inner side of the door.

To add rinse aid:

• Open the door.
• Rotate the container cover (ref. A fig. above) anticlockwise by 14 of a turn and remove it.
• Add the rinse aid until the container is full (approximately 140ml ). The optical level indicator (ref. B fig. above), on the side of the cap should be completely ob-scured. Refill the rinse aid when the optical level indicator becomes clear again, or when the rinse aid warning light illuminates (see "Description of controls" manual).
• Replace the cover (ref. A fig. above) by turning it in a clockwise direction until it is fully closed.
• Use a cloth to remove any spillage of rinse aid which might lead to the formation of excess foam.

5.2.2 Adjusting the rinse-aid dispenser setting

The rinse-aid dispenser can be set to one of 6 different levels. The dishwasher is factory set for medium water hardness (selector set to "3"). To change the setting, turn the dispenser selector (ref. c fig. above) to the desired position: the amount of rinse-aid dispensed is proportional to the position of this selector. Make that the minimum amount of rinse-aid (selector turned to "1") is approximately 1 ml and the maximum amount (selector turned to "6") is approximately 6 ml.

• To adjust the rinse aid setting, rotate the dispenser cover (ref. A previous figure) through a quarter turn in an anticlockwise direction and remove it.
• Then use a screwdriver to rotate the rinse aid selector to the desired position.
• Replace the cover (ref. A previous figure) by turning it in a clockwise direction until it is fully closed.
• The amount of rinse aid must be increased if the washed dishes appear dull or feature circular stains.
• If, on the other hand, the dishes are sticky or have white streaks, it is necessary to reduce the rinse aid setting.

5.2.3 Adding the detergent

DO NOT INHALE OR SWALLOW DETERGENT AS THIS MAY CAUSE BURNS AND/OR PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE NOSE, MOUTH AND THROAT, AND EVEN LEADING TO SUFFOCATION; KEEP DETERGENT AWAY FROM YOUR EYES. IF ONE OF THE ABOVE SITUATIONS OCCURS, SEEK MEDICAL ASSISTANCE IMMEDIATELY.

PREVENT CHILDREN FROM COMING INTO CONTACT WITH DETERGENT;

KEEP THEM AWAY FROM THE DISHWASHER WHEN THE DOOR IS OPEN AS IT MAY CONTAIN DETERGENT RESIDUES. FILL THE DISHWASHER JUST BEFORE STARTING THE WASHING CYCLE AND THEN KEEP THE DETERGENT OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.

To open the detergent dispenser cover, lightly press the release button (ref. A fig. below). Add the detergent and close the cover carefully. During the washing cycle, the dispenser will be opened automatically.

• When a program with hot prewash is selected (see program table in the "Description of Controls" manual), extra detergent must be placed in the cavity (ref. A or B fig. above, depending on models).
• Only use dishwasher-specific detergents. For optimal washing results it is important to use a good quality detergent.
• The detergent packs must be sealed and stored in a dry place to prevent the formation of lumps which may negatively affect washing results. Once opened the detergent packs should not be kept for too long, otherwise the detergent loses its effectiveness.
• Do not use detergents formulated for washing dishes by hand, because produce a great deal of foam and may negatively affect the operation of the dishwasher.
• Add the correct amount of detergent. An insufficient amount of detergent will result in a partial removal of soil from the dishes, whereas an excessive amount is wasteful and does not improve the washing results.
• The market offers liquid and powder detergents with differing chemical compositions, which may contain phosphates, or be phosphate-free but contain natural enzymes.
• Detergents containing phosphates are more effective against grease and starch at temperatures above 60^ C (140°F).

• Enzyme detergents, on the other hand, are also effective at lower temperatures (from 40 to 55^ from 104 to 131^ ) and are more easily biodegradable. With enzyme detergents it is possible to obtain at low temperatures comparable results to those which can only be achieved at 65^ ( 149^ ) using traditional detergents. For the safeguarding of the environment we recommend the use of phosphate- and chlorine-free detergents.

• When using detergent tabs, place them in the cutlery basket. The dispenser has been designed for powder or liquid detergent. As the cover does not open completely during the washing cycle, tabs are not fully released (dissolved). This could generate the following problems:

• insufficient detergent released during the cycle and poor washing results;

• the detergent is compacted in the dispenser and is released during the final rinse cycle.

THE INTRODUCTION OF DETERGENT INTO THE RINSE AID DISPENSER, EVEN IN LIQUID FORM, WILL DAMAGE THE DISHWASHER AND VOID WARRANTY COVERAGE FOR ANY RELATED REPAIRS.

5.3 General warnings and recommendations

Before using the dishwasher for the first time, it is advisable to read the following recommendations concerning dish types to be washed and their loading. There are generally no constraints on the washing of domestic dishes, but in certain cases it is necessary to take their characteristics into account. Before loading the dishes into the racks it is necessary to:

• remove coarse food remains: e.g. bones, fish-bones, etc. which may clog the filter or damage the wash pump;
• soak any pots or pans with burnt-on food remains on the bottom to facilitate removal, then load them into the LOWER RACK.

Use the 12 load wash" option (if available) for washing small amounts of dishes; it saves water and electricity. When using this function, only load the rack selected for the 12 load wash; the other rack must remain empty. There is no need to pre-wash the dishes under running water before loading them into the racks since this only wastes water. Correct loading of the dishes helps ensure optimal washing results.

WARNING!

• make sure that the dishes are securely in place so that they cannot tip over or obstruct the rotation of the spray arms during the washing cycle;
• do not place very small objects in the racks as these could fall and obstruct the spray arms or the wash pump;
• containers such as cups, bowls, glasses and pots should always be loaded with the opening facing downwards and with any cavities at an angle, to allow the water to drain out;
  do not stack dishes or place them in such a way that they cover one other;
• do not place glasses too close together because they may knock against each other and break, or there might be staining at the point where they touch.

MAKE SURE that the items being washed are dishwasher-safe.

Items which are not dishwasher-safe:

• Wooden dishes, pots or pans: these may be damaged by the high washing temperatures.
• Handcrafted items: these are rarely suitable for washing in a dishwasher. The relatively high water temperatures and the detergents used may damage them.
• Lightweight objects: place lightweight objects in the upper rack where the water pressure is lower.
• Dishes and objects in copper, tin, zinc or brass: these tend to stain.
• Aluminum dishes: items made from anodized aluminum may lose their color.
  Silverware: silver items may stain.
• Glass and crystal: in general, glass and crystal objects can be washed in the dishwasher. However, certain types of glass and crystal may become dull and lose their clearness after many washings. Therefore, for these items we recommend using the least aggressive program available (see sec 2.2.).
• Decorated items: the decorated objects available on the market are generally able to withstand washing in the dishwasher, although the colors may fade after a great many washes. If in doubt as to the stay-fastness of the colors, it is advisable to wash just a few items at a time for approximately one month as a test sample.

5.4 skcar eht gnisU

The dishwasher has a capacity of 13 place-settings, including serving dishes. Examples of loading 13 place-settings in the upper rack and in the lower rack are shown below.

5.4.1 kcar rewoL

The lower rack receives the full force of the lower spray arm, and should therefore be used for the "toughest" items with a heavier degree of soiling.

All types and combinations of loads are permitted, provided that the dishes, pots and pans are arranged with all the soiled surfaces exposed to the water jets coming from the bottom.

To make the most of the space inside the rack when loading large items, certain models are equipped with tip-up supports for plates in 2 or 4 sections (see fig. below).

With fixed supports

With tip-up supports

Loading the lower rack

Carefully load flat plates, soup plates, dessert and serving dishes, positioning them vertically. Pots, pans and their covers must be loaded upside down. When loading soup plates and dessert bowls, be sure to leave a gap between them.

Loading examples:

5.4.2

teksab yreltuC

The basket has removable top grids into which items of cutlery should be inserted to keep them properly spaced and allow water to pass between them effectively. The top grids and central lid are in the bag of accessories. The central lid functions as alid only.

The top grids can be detached and used separately.

The cutlery should be arranged in an orderly manner inside the basket, with the handles pointing downwards. Take care during loading to avoid injury from the knife blades. The basket is suitable for all types of cutlery, except those long enough to interfere with the upper spray arm. Ladles, wooden spoons and cooking knives can be placed in the upper basket, making sure that the knife blades do not protrude from the basket.

The cutlery basket slides across the dishwasher and can be placed in any position to allow optimal use of the space in the bottom basket.

5.4.3

kcar reppU

Depending on the models, the basket may be equipped with some or all of the following accessories:

• Supports for cups or long objects (ladles, spoons...), on the left; can be tipped to the vertical position when not in use.
• Long-stemmed glass holder, on the left; to use, simply lift and fix onto the hooks provided.
• Cutlery racks, on the right, designed for knives and teaspoons; for teaspoons, pull out t he s liding support. T he racks can be tipped to t he vertical position when not in use.
• Fixed or movable racks in the middle. The movable supports can be fixed vertical, resting on the bottom of the basket when not in use, or set in the intermediate position, as required.

Loading the upper rack

Load plates facing forward; cups, bowls etc. must always be facing downwards. The left-hand side of the rack can be loaded with two layers of cups and glasses. The centre can be filled with plates and side-plates, fitted upright into the supports provided.

Adjusting the upper rack

The upper rack can be set in three different positions on both sides. The rack must be level on both sides.

To raise the rack (ref. A fig. below), lift it with the two handles (e.g.: ref. B fig. below) to the first or second catch depending on the height required. To lower it (ref. c fig. below) up the two release levers (e.g.: ref. D fig.). This is also possible with the rack loaded, but in this case when lowering the rack it should be held steady with one hand to avoid knocking the dishes.

6 CLEANING AND USER-MAINTENANCE

BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY WORK, ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE FROM THE ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY.

6.1 General warnings and recommendations

NEVER USE ABRASIVE AND/OR CORROSIVE DETERGENTS TO CLEAN THE APPLIANCE.

Clean the outer surfaces and door-lining of the dishwasher regularly using a soft cloth moistened with a neutral detergent (not abrasive and/or corrosive) suitable for painted surfaces. Clean the door gaskets with a damp sponge. Periodically (once or twice a year) it is advisable to clean the tank and gaskets, using a soft cloth and water to remove any deposits.

Do not clean the controls with too much water as this may leak onto the electronic components and damage them.

After cleaning, dry the appliance with a soft, lint-free cloth.

If stainless steel surfaces are preset, clean them with a non-abrasive product specific for stainless steel. To prevent stains, a vaporize may also be used, though sparingly and at a moderate pressure.

6.2 Cleaning the water intake filter

Clean the water inlet filter at regular intervals. After closing the supply valve, unscrew the ring nut (ref. A fig. below) on the water inlet pipe (using a pair of pliers, if necessary) and delicately clean the filter, removing deposits or impurities. Then finally fix the pipe by tightening the ring nut (ref. A fig below) (use a pair of pliers, if necessary).

Do not over-tighten only snug to the point that the dishwasher seals the connection. Over tightening can damage the washer and cause leaking.

6.3 Cleaning the spray arms

The spray arms can be easily removed for periodic cleaning of the nozzles, to prevent possible clogging. Wash them under running water (at room temperature) and carefully replace them in their seats, checking that their rotary movement is in no way impeded; if this is not the case, make sure they have been mounted properly. Removing the spray arms

• To remove the upper spray arm (ref. A fi ), unscrew the locking ring (ref. B fig below) by turning it clockwise. After cleaning, remount the spray arm in its seat and tighten the locking ring by turning it counter-clockwise.
• To remove the lower spray arm (ref.C figlow), simply lift it up, pulling by the central part (see fig below). Then remount the lower spray arm into its seat and push it down slightly until it below clicks below place (see fig. ).

6.4 Cleaning the filter unit

• Periodically inspect the filter unit (ref. A fig. below) and, if necessary, clean it under running water (at room temperature), using a stiff brush. To remove the filter, grip the tabs, turn counter-clockwise and lift upwards;
• push the center filter (ref. B below) from the underside to remove it from the micro-filter;
• separate the two parts which make up the plastic center filter by pressing the body of the filter in the zone shown by the arrows (ref. C 19glow);
• remove the center filter by lifting it upwards.
• after cleaning, remount the filter unit, joining the two parts comprising the center filter by pushing slightly until they click into place; insert the center filter into the micro-filter (see fig. below b Reposition the filter unit (ref. A fig. into its seat, turning it clockwise until it locks.

6.5 General warnings and recommendations for correct maintenance

• Clean the filters under running water (at room temperature) using a stiff brush.
• When removing the filter, take care that there are no food residues on it. If any residues fall into the washing pit (ref. A fig. below), they might block hydraulic components or clog the spray arm nozzles.
• It is essential to thoroughly clean the filters according to the above instructions: the dishwasher cannot function if the filters are clogged.
• Carefully replace the filters in their seats, to avoid damaging the wash pump.

Prolonged disuse

• Run the soak program twice in succession.
• Unplug the power cord fro the socket.
• Leave the door slightly open in order to prevent the formation of unpleasant odors inside the washing tank.
• Fill the rinse-aid dispenser.
• Shut off the water supply tap.

Before starting the dishwasher after prolonged disuse

• Check that there are no deposits of sludge or rust inside the water pipe: if there are, allow the water to run from the water supply tap for a few minutes.
• Plug the power cord back into the socket.
• Reconnect the water intake hose and open the tap again.

6.6 Troubleshooting minor problems

In some cases it is possible to remedy minor problems by referring to the following instructions:

If the program fails to start, check that:

• the dishwasher is connected to the electrical power supply;
  there is no power failure;
  the water tap is open;
• the dishwasher door is properly closed.

If water remains inside the dishwasher, check that:

• the drain hose is not kinked
• the drain siphon is not obstructed;
• the dishwasher filters are not clogged.

If the dishes do not come out clean, check that:

the correct amount of detergent has been added;
- there is regenerating salt inside the special container;
the dishes are being loaded correctly;
the selected program is suitable for the dish types and their degree of soiling;
- all the filters are clean and positioned correctly;
- the spray arm nozzles are not clogged;
- there is no object obstructing the rotation of the spray arms.

If the dishes fail to dry or remain dull, check that:

there is rinse aid inside the reservoir;
the rinse-aid dispenser setting is correct;
- the detergent used is of good quality and has not lost its effectiveness (for example, through incorrect storage, with the box left open).

If the dishes show signs of streaking, staining, etc., check that:

• the rinse aid dispenser setting is not too high.

If there are visible traces of rust inside the tank:

• the tank is made of steel, and therefore any rust marks are due to external elements (fragments of rust from the water pipes, pots, cutlery, etc.). Special products are commercially available to remove such marks.
• check that the amount of detergent being used is correct. Certain detergents can be more corrosive than others.
• check that the cap of the salt container is securely closed, and that the water softening setting is correct.

IF AFTER PERFORMING THE ABOVE TROUBLESHOOTING INSTRUCTIONS THE PROBLEM PERSISTS, CALL THE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE CENTER.
