INDESIT

Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for future reference. If the appliance is sold, given away or moved, please ensure the manual is kept with the machine, so that the new owner may benefit from the advice contained within it.
Please read this instruction manual carefully: it contains important information regarding the safe installation, use and maintenance of the appliance.
If the appliance must be moved at any time, keep it in an upright position; if absolutely necessary, it may be tilted onto its back.

Positioning and levelling

1. Remove the appliance from all packaging and check that it has not been damaged during transportation. If it has been damaged, contact the retailer and do not proceed any further with the installation process.
2. Check the dishwasher by placing it so that its sides or back panel are in contact with the adjacent cabinets or even with the wall. This appliance can also be recessed under a single worktop (see the Assembly instruction sheet).
3. Position the dishwasher on a level and sturdy floor. If the floor is uneven, the front feet of the appliance may be adjusted until it reaches a horizontal position (the angle of inclination must not exceed 2 degrees). If the appliance is levelled correctly, it will be more stable and much less likely to move or cause vibrations and noise while it is operating.
4. Adjust the height of the rear feet from the front of the appliance: use a screwdriver to tighten or loosen the screws on the lower part of the dishwasher.

Connecting the water and electricity supplies

A Connection to the water and electricity supplies should only be performed by a qualified technician.
A The dishwasher should not stand on top of the water hoses or the electricity supply cable.
The appliance must be connected to the water supply network using new hoses. Do not use old hoses.

The water inlet (A) and outlet (B) hoses and the electricity supply cable may be positioned towards the right or the left in order to achieve the best possible installation (see figure).

Connecting the water inlet hose

• To a suitable cold water connection point: before attaching the hose, run the water until it is perfectly clear so that any impurities that may be present in the water do not clog the appliance; after performing this operation, screw the inlet hose tightly onto a tap with a 3/4 gas threaded connection.
• To a suitable hot water connection point: your dishwasher may be provided with hot water from the mains supply (if you have a central heating system with radiators) provided that it does not exceed a temperature of 60^ . Screw the hose to the tap as described for connection to a cold water supply.

If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialist store or an authorised technician (see Assistance).
The water pressure must be within the values indicated in the Technical data table (see below).
The hose should not be bent or compressed.

Anti-flooding protection

To ensure floods do not occur, the dishwasher:

• is provided with a special system which blocks the water supply in the event of anomalies or leaks from inside the appliance.
• is provided with a Water Stop* safety device, in other words it has a water inlet hose that consists of a transparent hose on the outside and a red hose on the inside: both the hoses can withstand extremely high pressure. If the internal hose breaks, the external hose becomes a bright red colour and carries the water instead, thus avoiding any leakage.

It is very important to check the external hose regularly: if it is a bright red colour, it must be replaced by an authorised technician as soon as possible (see Assistance).

WARNING: HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE!

Under no circumstance should the water inlet hose be cut as it contains live electrical parts.

• Only available in selected models.

Connecting the water outlet hose

Connect the outlet hose (without bending it) to a drain duct with a minimum diameter of 4cm . Alternatively, rest it over a sink or tub; the free end of the hose should not remain immersed in water.

The special plastic elbow* makes it easier to find the best layout: fix the elbow to the wall securely in order to prevent the outlet hose from moving and spilling the dirty water.

The part of the hose marked with the letter A should be between 40 and 100cm

above the ground (see figure).

A We advise against the use of hose extensions.

Electrical connection

Before inserting the plug into the electrical socket, make sure that:

• the socket is earthed and complies with current regulations;
• the socket can withstand the maximum load of the appliance, which is indicated on the data plate located on the inside of the door (see Description of the appliance);
  the power supply voltage falls within the values indicated on the data plate on the inside of the door;
• the socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance. If this is not the case, ask an authorised technician to replace the plug (see Assistance); do not use extension cables or multiple sockets.

Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply cable and the electrical socket should be easily accessible.

A The cable should not be bent or compressed.
The cable should be checked regularly and replaced by authorised technicians only.
The Company shall not be held responsible for any incidents that occur if these regulations are not observed.

Anti-condensation strip*

After installing the dishwasher, open the door and stick the adhesive transparent strip under the wooden shelf in order to protect it from any condensation that may form.

Advice regarding the first wash cycle

After the appliance has been installed, immediately before running the first wash cycle, completely fill the salt dispenser with water and add approximately 2kg of salt (see Rinse aid and refined salt). The water may overflow: this is normal and is not a cause for concern. It is also normal that the LOW SALT indicator light continues to flash for a few cycles after the salt has been loaded.

If the salt container is not filled, the water softener and the heating element may be damaged as a result.

Before loading the rack, remove all food residue from the crockery, leave saucepans and frying pans with burnt-on residue to soak and empty all remaining liquid from cups and glasses. After loading the appliance, check that the sprayer arms can rotate freely.

Lower rack

The lower rack can hold pans, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery, etc. as seen in the Loading examples.

Plates and large covers should be placed at the sides of the rack, ensuring that they do not block the rotation of the upper sprayer arm.

Some dishwasher models are fitted with tip-up sections, which can be used in a vertical position when arranging plates or in a horizontal position when arranging pans and salad bowls.

Cutlery basket

The type of cutlery basket may vary according to the dishwasher model.

Knives and other utensils with sharp edges must be placed in the cutlery basket with the points facing downwards, or they must be positioned horizontally in the tip-up compartments on the upper rack.

To divide the central basket into two separate pieces: pull out the handle. The two detachable side compartments* may be hooked onto the upper or lower rack.

The two grids* may be positioned in the basket to separate the cutlery: place the pieces of cutlery into the appropriate compartments with the handles at the bottom.

Upper rack

Load this rack with delicate and lightweight crockery: glasses, tea and coffee cups, saucers, small salad bowls, saucepans and small saucepans that are not too soiled, using the Loading examples as a guide.

• Lightweight crockery: position these dishes so that they will not be moved by the jets of water.
  Mugs and cups: place these on the tip-up compartments
• Long sharp knives and serving utensils: place these on the tip-up compartments

Adjusting the height of the upper rack

In order to make it easier to arrange the crockery, the upper rack may be moved to a higher or lower level.

The height of the upper rack should ideally be adjusted WHEN THE RACK IS EMPTY.

A Never lift or lower the rack on one side only.

Open the left and right guide rail stops and pull out the rack; position it higher or lower as required, slide it along the guide rails until the front wheels are in place and close the stops (see figure).

If the rack is equipped with the click clack handles (see figure), pull them upwards or downwards to adjust the height.

Loading examples for the upper rack

Loading examples for the lower rack

Just you Tip-up compartments**

These special tip-up compartments can be used to arrange mugs and cups. Spoons, forks and knives should be placed in the slots provided. Stemmed glasses can be hooked on by threading the

stems into the slits.

Items that should not be washed in the dishwasher

• Wooden items, objects with wooden or horn handles or glued-on parts.
• Items made from aluminium, copper, brass, pewter or tin.
• Items made from plastic that is not heat-resistant.
  Antique or hand-painted porcelain.
• Antique silver. Silver that is not antique may, however, be washed in the dishwasher using a delicate wash cycle, provided that it does not come into contact with other metals.

A We recommend the use of crockery which is dishwasher safe.

Washing the handles*

To wash the upper and lower rack handles: remove the two fastening plugs, lift out the handles and rinse them under running water, then fasten them to the rack using the same plugs.

* Only available in selected models.
** The number and position may vary.

Starting the dishwasher

1. Turn the water tap on.
2. Open the door and press the ON/OFF button: the indicator light will illuminate.
3. Measure out the detergent (see below).
4. Load the racks (see Loading the racks).
5. Select the programme by pressing the WASH CYCLE SELECT button; the corresponding indicator light will illuminate.
6. Select the wash options* (see below).
7. Start the wash cycle by shutting the door: the machine will emit a confirmation beep.
8. At the end of the cycle two short beeps will sound and the WASH CYCLE indicator light will flash. Open the door, switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button, shut off the water tap and unplug the appliance from the electricity socket.
9. Wait for a few minutes before removing the crockery, in order to avoid burns. Unload the racks, beginning with the lower level.

Modifying a wash cycle in progress

If a mistake was made during the wash cycle selection process it is possible to change the cycle, provided that it has only just begun: open the door, taking care to avoid the escaping steam, and press the WASH CYCLE SELECT button, holding it for 4 seconds. After one long beep and three short beeps, the WASH CYCLE indicator light will switch off: select the new wash cycle and start the programme by shutting the door.

Adding extra crockery

Open the door, taking care to avoid the escaping steam, and place the crockery inside the dishwasher. Close the door: the cycle starts from the point at which it was interrupted.

Accidental interruptions

If the door is opened during the wash cycle, or if there is a power cut, the cycle stops. It starts again from the point at which it was interrupted once the door has been shut or the electricity supply is restored.

Loading the detergent

A successful wash also depends on the correct amount of detergent being used, as recommended by the manufacturer. Exceeding the recommended amount does not result in a more effective wash and pollutes the environment.

Only use detergent which has been specifically designed for dishwashers.
DO NOT USE washing up liquid.
Using excessive detergent may result in foam residue remaining in the machine after the cycle has ended.
The use of tablets is only recommended for models which offer the MULTI-FUNCTIONAL TABLETS option.

To achieve the best results from each washing and drying cycle, powder detergent, rinse aid liquid and salt should be used.

compartment A: Washing detergent compartment B: Pre-wash detergent

1. Open cover C by pressing button D.
2. Pour in the detergent after consulting the Wash cycle table:
3. for powder detergent use compartments A and B

for tablets, use compartment A and the bottom of the appliance, i.e. when

the cycle requires 1 tablet, place it in compartment A and close the cover; when it requires 2, place the second tablet at the bottom of the appliance.

1. Remove detergent residues from the edges of the compartment and close the cover until it clicks.

Washing options

Delayed start*

It is possible to delay the start time of the cycle by 2, 4 or 6 hours.

1. Press the DELAYED START button: every time the button is pressed, a beep is emitted and the selected delayed start indicator light illuminates.
2. Select the wash cycle and shut the door: after the beep sounds, the timer begins counting down.
3. Once this time has elapsed, the indicator light switches off and the wash cycle begins.
   To adjust the delay time and select a smaller period of time, press the DELAYED START button. To cancel it, press the button repeatedly until the selected delayed start indicator light switches off. The wash cycle will start automatically as soon as the door is shut.

Half load using the upper or lower rack*

If there are not many dishes to be washed, a half load cycle may be used in order to save water, electricity and detergent. Before selecting the wash cycle press the HALF LOAD button repeatedly: the indicator light will illuminate and the wash cycle will take place only in the upper or the lower rack.

Remember to load the upper or lower rack only, and to reduce the amount of detergent accordingly.

It is better to use powder detergent in this case.

Extra drying*

To make sure that the crockery is completely dry at the end of the cycle, press the EXTRA DRYING button before selecting the wash cycle. A prolonged beep will sound to indicate that this option has been selected and a short beep will sound to indicate when it has been deselected.

This option is incompatible with the soak cycle.
If the Extra drying option is selected, the wash cycles will last longer.
* Only available in selected models.

Wash cycle table

INDESIT dishwashers are equipped with an automatic filter cleaning system so that they do not become clogged with food residues. This function may extend the duration of the wash cycles. If there is a high level of dirt contained in the filters, the dishwasher will stop operating (see Troubleshooting -Blocked filter alarm).
If the crockery is only lightly soiled or if it has been rinsed with water before being placed in the dishwasher, reduce the amount of detergent used accordingly.
The number and type of wash cycles and options, varies according to the model of dishwasher.

Notes:

To make it easier to measure out the detergent, it is worth remembering that:

1 tablespoon = 15 gr.of powder = approximately 15ml of liquid
1 teaspoon = 5 gr. of powder = approximately 5ml of liquid.

• The Eco wash cycle adheres to the regulation EN-50242. Although it has a longer duration than other wash cycles it uses less energy and is less harmful to the environment.

Note for Test Laboratories: for information relating to comparative EN testing conditions, please send an email to the following address: [e-mail]

Only use products which have been specifically designed for dishwashers. Do not use table salt or industrial salt, or washing up liquid.

Follow the instructions given on the packaging.

If using a multi-functional product it is not necessary to add rinse aid; however, we recommend that you add salt, especially if you live in an area where the water is hard or very hard. Follow the instructions given on the packaging.
If you do not add salt or rinse aid, the LOW SALT and LOW RINSE AID indicator lights remain lit.

Loading the rinse aid

Rinse aid makes it easier for the crockery to dry, as water runs off surfaces more readily and therefore does not leave streaks or marks. The rinse aid dispenser should be filled:

• whenever the indicator light (H) signals that it is empty. Illuminated light: add rinse aid; unlit light: there is no shortage of rinse aid in the dispenser.
• when the LOW RINSE AID* indicator light on the panel flashes;

1. Open the dispenser by turning the lid (G) in an anticlockwise direction.

2. Pour in the rinse aid, making sure it does not overflow from the dispenser. If this happens, clean the spill immediately with a sponge.

3. Screw the lid back on.

NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the appliance tub.

Adjusting the amount of rinse aid

If you are not completely satisfied with the washing or drying results, you may adjust the quantity of rinse aid used. Use a screwdriver to turn the dosage adjuster to one of the 6 pre-set positions (the default position is set to 4):

• if there are white streaks on the crockery, set the adjuster to a lower number (1-3).
• if drops of water remain on the crockery or there are limescale marks present after the cycle has finished, set the adjuster to a higher number (4-6).

If you are using multi-functional tablets and you wish to further improve the drying performance of the appliance, fill the dispenser and set the dosage adjuster to 2.

Loading the refined salt

In order to obtain the best possible results from a wash cycle, make sure that the dispenser is never empty. Refined salt removes limescale from the water, thus avoiding the formation of deposits on crockery. The salt dispenser is located in the lower part of the dishwasher (see Description) and should be filled:

• when the green float cannot be seen by simply looking at the cap of the salt dispenser;
• when the LOW SALT indicator light on the panel flashes;
• if your machine is not equipped with an indicator light or a

green float: approximately every 30 wash cycles;

1. Remove the lower rack and unscrew the cap of the dispenser (in an anticlockwise direction).
2. For the first wash cycle only: fill the dispenser up to the edges with water.
3. Position the funnel provided correctly (see figure) and fill the salt dispenser up to the edges

(approximately 2 kg); it is normal for a little water to leak out.
4. Remove the funnel, wipe away any salt residue from the thread and screw the cap on tightly, so that detergent does not leak into the dispenser during the wash cycle (this could damage the water softening system beyond repair).
When necessary, measure out the salt before a wash cycle so that any saline solution which has leaked out of the salt dispenser is removed.

Adjusting the amount of salt*

It is possible to adjust the amount of salt used according to the hardness of the water in your area (this information is available from your local water board).

1. Unscrew the dispenser cap.
2. Turn the arrow on the neck of the dispenser (see figure) towards the + or - symbols, using the table below as a guide.

Hardness of the water			Selector knob position	Salt consumption (grams/cycle)	Autonomy (cycles/2 kg)
°dH	°fH	°mmol/l
0 - 10	- 17	0 - 1	7 / 0 /
10 - 25	18 - 44	1.8 - 4.4	-	20

60

(^ dH) = hardness measured in German degrees - ^ f = hardness measured in French degrees - mmol/l = millimoles per litre)

The default setting of the water softening system is +

• If using multi-functional tablets fill the salt dispenser and set the adjuster to -; if the hardness of the water is greater than 60^ , set it to +.

• Only available in selected models.

Shutting off the water and electricity supplies

• Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle to avoid leaks.
• Remove the plug from the socket when cleaning the machine and when carrying out maintenance work.

Cleaning the dishwasher

• The external surfaces of the machine and the control panel may be cleaned using a non-abrasive cloth which has been dampened with water. Do not use solvents or abrasive products.
• Any marks on the appliance interior may be removed using a cloth dampened with water and a little vinegar.

Preventing unpleasant odours

• Always keep the door of the appliance ajar in order to avoid moisture from forming and being trapped inside the machine.
• Clean the seals around the door and detergent dispensers regularly using a damp sponge. This will avoid food becoming trapped in the seals, which is the main cause of the formation of unpleasant odours.

Cleaning the sprayer arms

Food residue may become encrusted onto the sprayer arms and block the holes used to spray the water. It is therefore recommended that the arms are checked from time to time and cleaned with a small nonmetallic brush.

Cleaning the filters

The filters remove food residue from the water used in the wash cycle: to obtain the best results from each wash, they should be cleaned.

A Clean the filters regularly.
After cleaning check that the filter assembly has been replaced correctly.
A The dishwasher should not be used without filters or when the filter is loose.

1. Remove the filters by pulling the handle upwards.
2. Clean the filters:

• after every wash cycle, remove the largest pieces of residue from semicircular plate A and glass B (these may be removed by pulling the handle) by rinsing them under

running water.

The entire filter assembly should be cleaned thoroughly once a month: this includes the semicircular plate A, the glass B and the cylinder C (this may be removed by turning it in an anti

clockwise direction). Use a small non-metallic brush to clean these parts.

1. Reconstruct the filter assembly and replace it in the correct position, following movements 1 and 2 as shown in the figure, until it clicks into place.

Leaving the machine unused for extended periods

• Run a wash cycle when the dishwasher is empty.
• Unplug the appliance and disconnect the water supply.
• Leave the door of the appliance ajar.

The appliance was designed and manufactured in compliance with current international safety standards. The following information has been provided for safety reasons and should therefore be read carefully.

General safety

The appliance was designed for domestic use inside the home and is not intended for commercial or industrial use.
The appliance must be used by adults only, to wash domestic crockery according to the instructions in this manual.
- The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even in covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the machine exposed to rain and storms.
- Do not touch the appliance when barefoot.
- When unplugging the appliance always pull the plug from the mains socket, do not pull on the cable.
- The water supply tap must be shut off and the plug should be removed from the electrical socket before cleaning the appliance or carrying out any maintenance work.
- If the appliance breaks down, do not under any circumstances touch the internal parts in an attempt to carry out the repair work yourself.
- Never touch the heating element.
- Do not lean or sit on the open door of the appliance: this may cause the appliance to overturn.
- The door should not be left open as it may create a dangerous obstacle.
- Keep detergent and rinse aid out of reach of children.
- The packaging material should not be used as a toy: it can become a choking or suffocation hazard.

Disposal of old electrical appliances

The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human health and the environment. The crossed out "wheeled bin" symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected.

Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.

Saving energy and respecting the environment

Saving water and energy

• Only start a wash cycle when the dishwasher is full. While waiting for the dishwasher to be filled, prevent unpleasant odours with the Soak cycle (see Wash Cycles).
• Select a wash cycle that is suited to the type of crockery and to the soil level of the crockery using the Wash cycle table:
• for dishes with a normal soil level, use the Eco wash cycle, which guarantees low energy and water consumption levels.
• if the load is smaller than usual activate the Half load option (see Start-up and use).
  If your electricity supply contract gives details of electricity saving time bands, run wash cycles during the periods when a lower tariff is applied. The Delayed start * button (see Start-up and use) helps you organise the wash cycles accordingly.

Phosphate-free and chlorine-free detergents containing enzymes

• We strongly recommend that you use detergents that do not contain phosphates or chlorine, as these products are harmful to the environment.
• Enzymes provide a particularly effective action at temperatures around 50^ , and as a result detergents containing enzymes can be used in conjunction with low-temperature wash cycles in order to achieve the same results as a normal 65^ wash cycle.
• To avoid wasting detergent, use the product in appropriate quantities based on the manufacturer's recommendations, the hardness of the water and the soil level and quantity of the crockery. Even if they are biodegradable, detergents contain substances that may alter the balance of nature.

Whenever the appliance fails to work, check for a solution from the following list before calling for Technical Assistance Centre.
