Salt .....

Salt

The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard water is used in the dishwasher, deposits will form on the dishes and utensils.

The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses a salt specifically designed to eliminate lime and minerals from the water.

Loading the Salt into the Softener

Always use salt intended for use with dishwashers.

The salt container is located beneath the lower rack and should be filled as follows:

1. Remove the lower rack and then unscrew and remove the cap from the salt container;

2. If you are filling the container for the first time, fill it with water;

3. Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and introduce about 2 kg of salt. It is normal for a small amount of water to come out of the salt container.

4. Carefully screw the cap back on.

The salt container should be filled up when the low salt indicator light "E" flashes. Once you have loaded the salt for the first time, it is normal that the low salt indicator light stays on or flashes for about 5 consecutive cycles.

Warning: To prevent rust from forming, we advise you to load the salt before starting a wash cycle.

Adjusting Salt Consumption

The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjusting the amount of salt consumed based on the harness of the water used. This is intended to optimize and customize the level of salt consumption so that it remains at a minimum.

Your Local Water Board can supply the degree of hardness of the water

in your area.

Technical line drawing of a mechanical component with no visible text or symbols

To adjust salt consumption, proceed as follows:

1) Unscrew the cap from the salt container.
2) There is a ring on the container with an arrow on it (see figure to the side), if necessary, rotate the ring in the anticlockwise direction from the "_" setting towards the "+" sign, based on the hardness of the water being used.
It is recommended that adjustments be made in accordance with the following schema:

Water hardness

Detergent and Rinse Aid ....

Detergent

Detergent specifically intended for use with dishwashers must be used. The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle following the instructions provided in the "Wash Cycle Table." The detergent dispenser is located on the inside panel of the door.

Loading the detergent

To open lid "A", press button "B". The cleaning detergent should be introduced into the two containers "C" and "D" up to the rim.

After pouring in the detergent, replace the lid, pressing down until it clicks.

Dishwasher detergent in tablets is now available on the market, in which case you should place one tablet into container "D" and replace the lid.

Notice: To facilitate closing the cover, remove any excess detergent on the edges of the dispenser.

Rinse Aid

This product makes dishes sparkle more as it improves their drying. The rinse aid container is situated on the inside of the appliance door; you should refill it when you see the container is empty by means of indicator “D”.

(If your dishwasher is fitted with a "low rinse aid" indicator light, fill the container up when the indicator light flashes or lights up).

Loading the Rinse Aid

To open the dispenser, turn the "C" cap in the anti-clockwise direction and then pour in the rinse aid, making sure not to overfill. The amount of rinse aid used for each cycle can be regulated by turning the "F" dose adjustor, located beneath the "C" cap, with a screwdriver. There are 6 different settings; the normal dosage setting is 4.

F C D

Important:

Proper dosage of the rinse aid improves drying.

If drops of water remain on the dishes or spotting occurs, the dosage adjustor should be turned to a higher setting. If the dishes have white streaks, turn the dosage adjustor to a lower setting.

Warning

Three-in-one dishwasher tablets are now available on the market, and combine the detergent, salt and rinse aid all in one. If the water in your area is hard or very hard, we still recommend you pour extra salt into the relevant dispenser to prevent the formation of white streaks on your dishes or on the appliance interior.

Add rinse aid to the corresponding container only if you are dissatisfied with the results on your dishes. In any case, please read the manufacturer's instructions provided on the packet.

Loading the Dishwasher

Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove the larger food particles to prevent the filter from becoming clogged, which results in reduced performance.

If the pots and pans have baked-on food that is extremely hard to remove, we recommend that they be allowed to soak before they are washed. This will eliminate the need for extra wash cycles.

Pull out the racks to facilitate loading the dishwasher.

How to Use the Lower Rack

We recommend that you place the most difficult to clean items on the bottom rack: pots, pans, lids, serving dishes and bowls, as shown in the figure to the right.

It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the sides of the racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation of the top spray arm.

• Pots, serving bowls, etc. must always be placed top down.
• Deep pots should be slanted to allow the water to flow out.

- Insert the cutlery into the basket: knives and utensils

with sharp blades or tips should be positioned with the sharp parts at the bottom. Position all cutlery items so that they don't touch.

If the rack has side baskets, the spoons should be loaded individually into the appropriate slots (see fig. A).

- Especially long utensils should be placed in the horizontal position at the front of the upper rack.

How to Use the Upper Rack

The upper rack is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware, such as glasses, coffee and tea cups and saucers, as well as plates, small bowls and shallow pans (as long as they are not too dirty).

- Position the dishes and cookware so that they do not get moved by the spray of water.

How to adjust the Upper rack ...

The top rack can be adjusted using the two rack heights (top and bottom). To adjust the rack, open up the tabs that lock the guides and pull out the rack. Arrange the rack with the back wheels in either the top or bottom position and then insert it along the guides until the front wheels are on as well. Close the tabs to lock the rack in place (see Fig. F).

Turning on the Appliance

First of all.

Turn on the water tap completely and press ON-OFF button "A". you will hear a short beep and indicator light "B" lights up.

Now the appliance is on and awaiting instructions.

Starting and selecting the cycle.

Turn the cycle selector knob "D" clockwise until the reference notch on the knob corresponds with the number or symbol for the cycle you wish to set (consult the wash cycle table on page 17, especially when first using the appliance).

If the appliance door is shut, press the Start button "R" and you will hear a beep; the cycle will start up within a few seconds.

Cycle phase indicator lights

The dishwasher is provided with 4 indicator lights "G" which come on in sequence as the appliance is performing that specific phase of the wash cycle.

These phases are:

pre-wash,

wash,

rinses,

drying

Cancelling or modifying a wash cycle in progress.....

Premise: You can cancel the wash cycle in progress, if it has only just started.

To modify a wash cycle, keep the RESET button "R" pressed for about 5 seconds: a prolonged beep will sound, followed by three short beeps. Indicator light "G" will turn off and at this point, all the settings will have been cancelled.

To select a new wash cycle, repeat the operations illustrated in the paragraph entitled "starting and selecting the cycle".

Warning: the knob must be turned clockwise from wash cycle 1 to 6, an anti-clockwise from wash cycle 6 to 1.

If you have left out a dish...

You can interrupt a wash cycle by pressing the ON-OFF button, then place the dishes you had left out into the appliance, which will start up from where it was interrupted when you turn it back on.

There's been a power failure? Have you opened the dishwasher door?

The wash cycle stops and then restarts when the electricity comes back on or when the door is shut.

At the end of the wash cycle....

The end of the wash cycle is indicated by two short beeps and the flashing of the drying phase indicator light.

• Press button "A" to turn the appliance off.
• Turn off the water tap.
• Wait a few minutes before unloading the dishes: if you wait a little while, they dry better thanks to the steam.
  • Empty the lower rack first.

Warning: when you open the dishwasher door after the wash cycle has just ended or is under way, take care not to scald yourself with the hot steam.

You decide when it starts.

When you have loaded the dishes, you can choose when to start your dishwasher before setting the wash cycle desired. Press button "H" to delay the start of the wash cycle by 12, 9, 6 or 3 hours. Each time you press it, you will hear a short beep and the indicator light "G" corresponding to the selected delay will come on.

Now you can select the desired wash cycle and, after you hear the beep, the countdown to the delayed start will begin.

If you have set a 12 hour delay, for example, once you have selected the wash cycle, the 12 hour indicator light will flash followed by the others in sequence until the set time delay is up. A quick look at the indicator lights will keep you informed of the countdown progress at all times.

Dual function of indicator lights "G"

1) flashing to indicate a delayed start: to remind you that you have set a delayed start;
2) on and not flashing beneath the cycle phase symbol: meaning the cycle has started and is in the phase indicated by the symbol.

Have you changed your mind?

If you change your mind, you can set a shorter time delay: press button "H" to select it. You need not reset the wash cycle.

If on the other hand you want to cancel the delay set and you want the cycle to start immediately, press button "H" repeatedly until the cycle starts and indicator light "G" corresponding to the cycle start phase comes on.

Energy Saving Tips

- It is important to try and run the dishwasher when it is fully loaded in order to save on energy. In order to prevent odors from forming and food from caking onto the dishes, you can run the hold cycle.

- Choose the right wash cycle: the choice of cycle depends on the type of dishware, cookware and utensils being washed and how dirty they are.

- Use the right amount of detergent: if you use too much detergent, the result will not be cleaner dishes, but, rather, a greater negative impact on the environment.

- There is no utility in rinsing dishes, cookware and utensils before placing them in the dishwasher.

How to Keep Your Dishwasher in Shape

After Every Wash

After every wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance and leave the door slightly ajar so that moisture and odors are not trapped inside.

Remove the Plug

Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the plug from the socket. Do not run risks.

No Solvents or Abrasive Cleaning Products

To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. Rather, use only a cloth and warm soapy water.

To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use a cloth dampened with water and a little white vinegar, or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.

When You Go on Holiday

When you go on holiday, it is recommended that you run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and then remove the plug from the socket, turn off the water supply and leave the door of the appliance slightly ajar. This will help the seals last longer and prevent odors from forming within the appliance.

Moving the Appliance

If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in the vertical position. If absolutely necessary, it can be positioned on its back.

Seals

One of the factors that cause odors to form in the dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this from occurring.

Cleaning and Special Maintenance

The filter assembly

If you want consistent good results from your dishwasher, you need to clean the filter assembly.

The food particles are removed from the wash water, allowing it to be recirculated during the cycle, filtered perfectly. For this reason, it is a good idea to remove the larger food particles trapped inside the semi-circular filter A and cup "C" after each wash; to remove the filter assembly, pull the cup handle upwards. All you

Three mechanical components labeled A, B, and C, shown in grayscale without any text or symbols.

need to do is rinse them under running water.

The entire filter assembly should be cleaned thoroughly once a month: semi-circular filter A + cup C + cylindrical filter B+ microfilter D.

1 2 A B C

To remove filter "B", turn it anti-clockwise. Use a small non-metallic brush for cleaning.

Reassemble the filter parts (as shown in the figure) and reinsert the whole assembly into the dishwasher. Position it into its housing and press downwards.

The dishwasher is not to be used without filters. Improper replacement of the filters may reduce the efficiency of the wash and even damage your dishwasher.

Cleaning the Sprayer Arms

It may happen that food particle become encrusted on the sprayer arms and block the holes (see "Close up view (interior)", letters F-I). Check the sprayer arms periodically and clean them when needed.

Troubleshooting

It may occur that the dishwasher does not function or does not function properly. Before calling for assistance, let us see what can be done first: have you forgot to press one of the buttons or to perform an essential operation?

The Dishwasher Does Not Start

Have you checked whether:

• the plug is pushed into the socket correctly;
• the power is on in the house;
• the door is closed properly;
• the ON-OFF switch is on "ON";
• the water supply is turned on.

The Dishwasher Does Not Load Water

Have you checked whether:

• the water is turned on and the hose is connected properly;
• the water supply to the house is on and has sufficient pressure;
• the water supply hose is crimped or bent;
• the filter for the water supply hose is clogged.

The Dishes Are Not Clean

Have you put the right amount of detergent into the dispenser?

Is the wash cycle suitable for the dishes you have placed inside the appliance?

Are the filter and microfilter clean?

Can the sprayer arms turn freely?

The Dishwasher Does Not Drain

Have you checked whether:

- the drain hose is crimped or bent.

Lime Deposits or a White Film Form on the Dishes

Have you checked whether:
- the lid to the salt container is closed properly;
- the rinse aid dosage is correct.

Error messages.

Your dishwasher is equipped with a safety system which is able to detect any operating anomalies. These anomalies are reported by one or two wash cycle indicator lights "G" flashing rapidly.

Take a note of which lights are flashing, turn the appliance off and call for technical assistance.

Tap off alarm

If you have forgotten to turn the water tap on, your appliance will remind you of this by sounding a few short beeps for a few minutes. Turn the tap on and your appliance will start up again after a few minutes. Were you to be absent when these beeps are sounded, the appliance will be blocked automatically and indicator lights 2 and 3 (wash and rinses) will flash rapidly. Turn the appliance off at the ON-OFF button, turn on the water tap and wait approximately 20 seconds before turning the appliance back on; repeat the programming operations and the selected wash cycle will start up again.

Clogged filter alarm

If the appliance is blocked and indicator lights 1 (pre-wash) and 3 (rinses) flash rapidly, this means the filter is clogged by large particles of food residue. Turn the appliance off, clean the filter thoroughly and reposition it in its seat as illustrated on this page. Then turn it back on. Repeat the programming operations and the wash cycle will start up again.

Water load solenoid valve malfunction alarm.

If indicator light 2 (wash) flashes rapidly, TURN the dishwasher OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN after one minute. If the alarm persists, first turn off the water tap to avoid any flooding and then cut off the electricity supply and call for technical assistance.

If, despite all these checks, the dishwasher still does not function and/or the problem persists, contact the nearest authorised service centre and provide them with the following information:

- the nature of the problem;

- the model type number (Mod. ...) and the serial number (S/N ...), which are indicated on the plate located on the side of the inner part of the door.

Never call on unauthorised technicians and refuse to allow parts to be installed that are not original spare parts.

Installation

Positioning the appliance

Place your dishwasher where you want to install it. The appliance can even be placed so that its sides or back panel are side by side with furniture or up against the wall. The dishwasher is provided with water supply and drain hoses, which can be directed towards the left or right to facilitate appropriate installation.

Levelling

Once the appliance is positioned, adjust the feet by screwing them in or out depending on how high you want it and level it so that it is horizontal; however it must not be tilted by more than 2^ under any circumstances.

If the appliance is level, this will help ensure its correct operation.

This dishwasher model can be built under a single worktop (please read the relevant instruction sheet).

Cold water connection.

This electric household appliance should be connected to the water mains using the cold water supply hose provided with the appliance only. Do not use a different hose. In the event of replacements, use original spare parts only.

Connect the cold water supply hose to a 3/4 gas threaded connection, taking care to screw it tightly onto the tap.

If the water hoses are new or have been out of use for an extended period of time, let the water run to make sure it is clear and free of impurities before making the connection. If this precaution is not taken, the water inlet could get blocked, causing damage to your dishwasher.

Hot water connection

Your dishwasher can be supplied with hot water from the mains supply (if you have a central heating system with radiators) at a temperature of no more than 60^ C.

In this case, the wash cycle time will be about 15 minutes shorter and the wash will be slightly less effective.

The connection must be made to the hot water supply following the same procedures as those indicated for the cold water connection.

Anti-flooding protection

Your dishwasher is provided with a special system which blocks the water supply in the event of leaks inside the appliance. It is further equipped with a water inlet hose that can withstand extremely high pressures and that turns red in the event of breakage. Safety in the event of flooding is ensured by the second clear hose that contains the former. It is vital that you check it on a regular basis: if you see it has turned red, then you know you have to replace it as soon as possible. Call for an authorised technical engineer to come and replace it.

Drain hose connection

Fit the drain pipe into a drain line with a minimum diameter

of 4 cm or place it over the sink. Avoid restricting or bending it. Use the special plastic elbow provided (see figure) to position it in the best possible way. The part of the pipe marked with the letter A should be between 40 and 100 cm above the ground.

The pipe should not be immersed in water.

Technical line drawing of a washing machine with hoses and a control panel (no text or symbols)

Warning: the special plastic elbow should be fastened firmly onto the wall to prevent the drain hose from moving and allowing water to spill outside the drain.

Electrical connection

Plug the appliance into a socket provided with an efficient earth connection (the system's earthing is a guarantee of safety provided for by law), after having checked that the mains voltage and frequency values correspond to those stated on the rating plate located on the stainless steel inner door of the appliance and that the electrical system to which the dishwasher is connected is sized for the maximum current indicated on said rating plate. If the power socket to which the appliance is connected is not compatible with the plug, replace it with a suitable plug rather than using adapters or multiple plugs as these could cause overheating or burns.

If the electricity supply wire is damaged, we recommend you contact authorised Technical Assistance service centres exclusively for a replacement.
