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 softer than uses a salt specifely designed to eliminate lime and minerals from the water.

Adjusting Salt Consumption

The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjusting the amount of salt consumed according to the hardness of the water used. This is intended to optimise and customise the level of salt consumption so that it remains at a minimum.

To adjust salt consumption, proceed as follows:

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:

• Remove the lower rack and then unscrew and remove the cap from the sill container;

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

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

Carefully screw the cap back on.

To prevent the formation of rust, load the salt just before beginning a wash cycle.

• Unscrew the cap from the salt container;
• On the neck of the container there is a ring with an arrow on it (see figure above). If necessary, turn the ring anti-clockwise from the "+ sign towards the "−" setting, according to water hardness.
• It is highly recommended that the following table be consulted when making adjustments.

Detergent and Rinse Aid

Detergent

Detergent specifically intended for use with dishwashers must be used. The dispenser must be rolled 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 cover "A on the dispenser, press button B". The detergent for the wash cycle should be poured into compartment C".

After the detergent has been placed in the dispenser, close the cover and press down until it clicks in place.

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

Rinse Aid

This product makes dishes sparkle and helps them to dry without spotting. The dispenser is located on the inside panel of the door and should be filled after every 80 wash cycles.

Loading the Rinse Aid

To open the dispenser, turn cap "C" anticlockwise and then add the rinse aid, making sure not to overfill.

The amount of rinse aid used for each cycle can be regulated by turning dose adjuster "F", located beneath cap "C", with a screwdriver. There are 6 different settings; the normal dosage setting is 3.

Important:

Proper dosage of the rinse aid improves drying. If drops of water remain on the dishes or spotting occurs, the dosage adjuster should be turned to a higher setting. If the dishes have white streaks, turn the dosage adjuster to a lower setting.

Loading the Dishwasher

Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove 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 rack 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, lids, serving dishes and bowls, as shown in the figure to the right.

II is preferable to place serving dishes and rolls 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 face down.

• Deep pots should be slanted to allow the water to flow out.
• The silverware basket can be doubled (see Fig. A) so that only one section may be used when the silverware load is light. This makes space for additional pots and pans on the lower rack.
• Silverware should be placed in the silverware basket with the handles at the bottom; if the rack has side baskets, the spoons should be located individually into the appropriate slots. 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 are not moved by the spray of water.

The upper rack can be adjusted in height by using the side knobs (see Fig. 8).

Turning on the Appliance

Starting a wash cycle

• Make sure that the plug of the appliance is inserted into the wall socket.
• Make sure that the water supply is turned on to full pressure.
• Load the dishwasher (see the section "Loading the Dishwasher").
  -Pour in the detergent (see the section "Salt, Detergent and Rinse Aid"):
• Turn the knob located on the right of the control panel clockwise to the desired cycle number or symbol (see the section "Wash Cycle Table").
• Press the ON-OFF button; the ON-OFF light will turn on. At this point, the wash cycle will begin:
  If you forget to load some of dishes

The wash cycle can be interrupted by pressing the ON-OFF button. You can then load additional dishes and turn the appliance back on. The appliance will resume operation from where it was interrupted.

At the end of the wash cycle

When the knob stops turning and is aligned with the STOP mark (see figure), the cycle has finished. Turn off the appliance using

the ON-OFF button, turn off the water supply and open the door of the dishwasher.

Wait a few minutes before unloading the dishwasher to avoid handling the dishes and utensils while they are still hot and more susceptible to breakage. They will also dry better.

Cancelling or modifying a wash cycle setting Premise: A cycle that is underway can only be modified if it has been running for a short time. Otherwise, the detergent may have already been used, and the appliance may have already drained the wash water. If this is the case, the detergent dispenser must be refilled (see paragraph "Loading the detergent").

Press the ON-OFF button and the ON Light will turn off. Rotate the knob clockwise to the desired cycle setting (see the section "Starting a wash cycle"). Then, turn the dishwasher back on using the ON-OFF button.

Troubleshooting

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

The Dishwasher Does Not Start
Have you checked whether: The price is much higher than the cost?
the power is no in the house.
the door is closed properly .
The ON-OEE 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 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 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 of the salt container is closed properly;
• the rinse aid dosage is correct.
  If, despite all these checks, the dishwasher still does not function and/or the problem persists, contact the nearest authorised service centre and provide 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 unauthorised technicians and refuse to allow parts to be installed that are not original spare parts.

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 odours from form ing and food from cooking onto the dishes, you can run the soak cycle.

• Choose the right wash cycle: the choice 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 be fore PCIing 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 odours 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. Use 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.

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 odours to form in the dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning with a clamp sponge will prevent this from occurring.

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, rum off the water supply and leave the door of the appliance slightly ajar. This will help the seals last longer and prevent odours from forming inside the appliance.

Cleaning and Special Maintenance

Filter Assembly

For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be cleaned.

The filter efficiently removes food particles from the wash water, allowing it to be recirculated during the cycle. For this reason, it is advisable to remove the larger food particles trapped in the filter after each wash cycle by rinsing the semi-circular filter and cup (A) under running water. To remove the filter assembly, pull on the cup nandle in the upward direction. The entire filter assembly (made up of the semicircular filter (A) and the fine filter (B)) should be cleaned at least once a month. To clean the filter and the filter, use a cleaning brush. Then, reassemble the filter parts as shown in the figures below and refit the entire assembly in the dishwasher, positioning it in its seat and pressing downward. The dishwasher must never be used without the filters. Improper replacement of the filters may reduce the performance of the appliance and damage dishes and utensils.

Cleaning the Spray Arms

It may happen that food particles become encrusted on the sprayer arms and block the hole (see 'Close up view [Interior], letters C-E). Check the sprayer arms periodically and clean them when needed.

Installation

The instruction of outer door decor frame installation:

1. Lay the appliance on the ground with its door facing upward.
2. Remove the screws below the lower trimming strip with a screw driver as shown in Fig A. and release the clutch on the inner-side of the lower trimming strip at the feet by means of the shipped tool (take good care not to brake the clutch), and remove the lower trimming strip below the door, as shown in Fig B.
3. Remove the fastening screws of the door shell trimming strip, as shown in figure C and D.
4. Insert the decoration panel between the door and the door trimming strip, tightly and evenly, then fasten the screws on the left, right and bottom sides of the trimming strip.
5. Fix the lower trimming strip to its original position.

6. Stand the appliance upright.

Positioning the Appliance

Position the appliance in the desired location. The back should rest against the wall, and the sides along the adjacent cabinets or wall. The dishwasher is equipped with water supply and drain hoses that can be positioned to the right or left to facilitate proper installation.

Levelling the Appliance

Once the appliance is positioned, adjust the feet (screwring them in or out) of the dishwasher until it is level. In any case, the appliance should not be inclined more than 2^ . If the appliance is level, it will help ensure proper performance.

Cold Water Connection

Connect the cold water supply hose to a threaded 3/4 (gas) connector and make sure that it is fastened lightly in place (see fig. 1).

If the water pipes are new or have not been used for a prolonged period of time, let the water run to make sure that the water is clear and free of impurities. If this precaution is not taken, there is a risk that the water inlet can get blocked and damage the appliance.

Hot Water Connection

The water supply to the appliance can also be connected to the house's hot water line (centralised system, heating system), as long as it does not exceed a temperature of 60^ .

In this case, the wash cycle line will be shortened by about 15 minutes and the wash efficiency slightly reduced. The connection must be made to the hot water line following the same procedures as for the connection to the cold water line.

fig.1

Drain Hose Connection

Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe with a minimum diameter of 4cm or let it run into the sink, making sure to avoid bending or crimping it. Use the special plastic support that comes with the appliance (see fig. 2). The free end of the hose must be at a height between 40 and 100~cm and must not be immersed in water.

Attention:

The special plastic hose support must be solidly fastened to the wall to prevent the drain hose from moving and allowing water to spill outside the drain.

Electrical Connection

After making sure that the voltage and frequency values for the current in the home correspond to those on the rating plate (located on the stainless steel inner door of the appliance) and that the electrical system is sized for the maximum voltage on the rating plate, insert the plug into an electrical socket which is earthed properly (the earthing of the appliance is a safety requirement mandated by law).

If the electrical socket to which the appliance must be connected is not appropriate for the plug, replace the plug rather than using adaptors or the like as they could cause overheating and burns.
