ENERSAVE OPTION

This option can be selected with the wash programme of choice to further reduce energy consumption. Drying is aided by a special device that automatically releases the door, which opens slowly and smoothly by a few centimetres. This ensures perfect drying and greater control of rinsing temperatures, which can be kept at lower levels for significant energy

saving.

Once the door has opened, the dishwasher emits a short beep and programme lights nos.

4 and 5 flash to indicate the end of the washing cycle.

Auto 70°C

Enersave is activated automatically every time a wash cycle is selected (except for programs that do not include the final drying phase; see programs table) and can be disabled before the program is started.

When the function is activated, opening of the door must not be impeded in any way; do not leave anything in the space in front of the door necessary to allow it to open. Do not re-close the door during automatic opening as this would damage the mechanism. Wait for the pushers to retract before re-closing the door.

SPREAD HALF LOAD

When there are not many dishes to be watched, the "spread half load" option, controlled by button is useful; it saves water and electricity and reduces the program's duration. Place dishes in both baskets then load the detergent dispenser than less than the normal amount for a full load..

EXTRA OPTIONS - "3/1" BUTTON

Press buttons 6 + 8 (EXTRA PROGRAMS button + ENERSAVE option button) simultaneously to activate the "3/1" option; the respective light comes on to confirm the selection. The option is optimised for use of detergents which are complete with salt and rinse aid, known on the market as "3 in 1", "triple action", etc. With this option activated, any salt and rinse aid If you wish to use detergents which already contain salt and rinse aid already in the dishwasher will not be used.

N.B.: even with the "3/1" option selected, the regenerating salt/rinse aid lights will still stay on if their containers are empty.

IMPORTANT: the option continues to be active until it is deactivated by pressing buttons 6 + 8 simultaneously; the light will then go out.

3/1 products are not suitable for use with excessively hard water. Therefore, if the water hardness is set higher than H3, the 3/1 OPTION light flashes to indicate a setting error. This does not prevent the use of the option, but the washing results might not be of the best.

DELAYED START

The start of the washing program can be delayed to program the dishwasher to operate at the preferred time of day (e.g. overnight). Press the PROGRAM DELAY button (13) to activate the option and display (14) a 1 hour delay. Keep pressing to select the delay required, which may be up to 9, 12 or 24 hours depending on the model.

When the door is closed, the appliance will prewash the dishes, after which the "program delay" set will come into effect.

CANCELLING THE CURRENT PROGRAM

- To cancel the currently selected program, open the door and hold down the PROGRAM SELECTION (3) button for a few seconds until the indicator lights for programs 4 and 5 illuminate simultaneously (the word "end" is displayed on the window).

• Close the door.
• After approximately 1 minute the dishwasher will advance to the end of cycle.

CHANGING THE PROGRAM

To change the program in progress, simply open the door and select a new program. When the door is closed the dishwasher will automatically select the new program.

TO SAVE ON ENERGY! ... AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT

• Always try to run the dishwasher fully loaded.
- Do not wash the dishes in running water.
- Use the washing program that is most appropriate for each type of load.
- Do not carry out any preliminary rinsing.
• If available, connect the dishwasher to a hot water supply up to 60°C.

TO CUT DOWN ON DETERGENT CONSUMPTION! ... AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT

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

• separate the more delicate items from dishes that are more resistant to aggressive detergents and high temperatures;
  • do not pour the detergent directly on the dishes.

If the door has to be opened while washing is in progress, the program will be interrupted. The relative light will keep flashing and a beeper will signal that the cycle has not been completed. You must wait about 1 minute before closing the door to restart the program. When the door is closed the program will continue from where it was interrupted. This operation should only be carried out if strictly necessary, because it might cause problems in execution of the program.

END OF CYCLI

At the end of the washing cycle the dishwasher gives a short acustic signal and the program indicators nr 4 and 5 start blinking (the word "end" is displayed on the window).

To switch off the dishwasher, open the door and press the ON/OFF button (1).

ENERGY MANAGEMENT

After 5 minutes of waiting (washing cycle completed, stopped or set but not started) the dishwasher switches to a standby state to reduce energy consumption.

In this state, the dishwasher indicator panel (lights or display depending on model) functions more slowly (switch-on once every 5 seconds).

REMOVING THE DISHES

At the end of the washing program, wait at least 20 minutes before removing the dishes, to allow them to cool down. To prevent any water droplets on the upper basket from falling on the dishes in the lower basket, it is advisable to unload the lower basket first, and then the upper basket.

2. Operating 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.

2.1 Using the water softening system

The amount of scale contained in the water (water hardness index) can cause whitish staining 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).

SALT

When using water of medium hardness, the regenerating salt container should be refilled after approximately 20 washing cycles. The salt container can hold approximately 1.7 Kg of salt in grains. The container is situated at the bottom of the dishwasher. After removing the lower basket, unscrew the salt container cap by turning it anticlockwise and pour in the salt using the funnel supplied with the dishwasher. Before replacing the cap, 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 litre of water to the container.
• Each time the salt container is refilled, make sure that the cap 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. In the event of this occurring, the warranty will be invalidated.
• 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.

ADJUSTING THE WATER SOFTENING SYSTEM

The dishwasher is equipped with a device which allows the softener setting to be varied to suit the hardness of the mains water. The hardness is set using the PROGRAM SELECTION BUTTON (3).

To access the setting function, hold the button down for more than 15 seconds. The WATER HARDNESS ADJUSTMENT INDICATOR LIGHT (4) flashes, while the SELECTED PROGRAM INDICATOR LIGHTS (2) show the current setting. Each pressure on the button changes the setting following the sequence in the table below:

2 4 3 END >15"

WATER HARDNESS TABLE

WATER HARDNESS		SETTING
German degrees (°dH)	French Degrees (°dF)
0 - 6 0 - 11		All lights off (no salt)
7 - 10 12 - 18		One light on
11 - 15 19 - 27		Two lights on
16 - 21 28 - 37		Three lights on
22 - 28 38 - 50		Four lights on
29 - 35 51 - 62		Five lights on
36 - 50 63 - 90		Two lights on

Contact your local water board for information on the hardness of your water supply.

After adjustment or display of the current setting, simply do not touch the button for a few seconds; the dishwasher will automatically return to standard mode, quitting the adjustment mode.

2.2 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 is on the left, and the rinse aid dispenser is on the right.

Line drawing of a vintage refrigerator with front panel and side door (no text or symbols)

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.

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.

Line drawing of a washing machine with a dial and sun symbol (no text or labels)

To add rinse aid:

• Open the door.
• Rotate the container cap anticlockwise by 14 of a turn and remove it.
• Add the rinse aid until the container is full (approximately 140 cc). The optical level indicator on the side of the cap should be completely obscured. Refill the rinse aid when the optical level indicator becomes clear again, or when the rinse aid warning light illuminates.
• Replace the cover and turn it in a clockwise direction.
• Use a cloth to remove any spillage of rinse aid which might lead to the formation of excess foam.

ADJUSTING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER SETTING

The dishwasher is factory set for medium water hardness. However it possible to change the setting by turning the dispenser's selector to the desired position: the amount of rinse aid dispensed is proportional to the selector position.

• To adjust the rinse aid setting, rotate the dispenser cap 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 cap, turning it clockwise.

• 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.

ADDING THE DETERGENT

To open the detergent dispenser cap, lightly press the button P. Add the detergent and close the cap carefully.

During the washing cycle, the dispenser will be opened automatically.

H MIN G

Line drawing of a vehicle's front view showing a parking lot with a parking sign above (no text or symbols on the diagram itself)

• When a program with hot prewash is selected (see program table), extra detergent must be placed in the cavity G/H (depending on models).
• Use only detergents specially formulated for dishwashers. 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 they 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 dirt 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.

- Enzyme detergents, on the other hand, are also effective at lower temperatures (from 40 to 55^ ) 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^ using traditional detergents.

For the safeguarding of the environment we recommend the use of phosphate- and chlorine free detergents.

The introduction of detergent into the rinse aid dispenser, even in liquid form, will damage the dishwasher.

2.3 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 baskets 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 BASKET.

There is no need to pre-wash the dishes under running water before loading them into the baskets 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 baskets 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.
• Plastic dishes: heat resistant plastic dishes must be washed in the upper basket.
• Dishes and objects in copper, tin, zinc or brass: these tend to stain.
• Aluminium dishes: items made from anodised aluminium may lose their colour.
  • 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.
• Decorated items: the decorated objects available on the market are generally able to withstand washing in the dishwasher, although the colours may fade after a great many washes. If in doubt as to the fastness of the colours, it is advisable to wash just a few items at a time for approximately one month.

2.4 Using the baskets

The dishwasher has a capacity of 13 place-settings, including serving dishes.

LOWER BASKET

The lower basket 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.

LOADING THE LOWER BASKET

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:

Examples of loading for intensive dirt:

Four technical line drawings of mechanical components, including rollers, springs, and a grid-patterned structure (no text or symbols)

If the bottom basket inserts are of the fold-down type, they should be laid flat for easier loading.

CUTLERY BASKET

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 a lid 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.

TOP CUTLERY BASKET

The basket is designed to take cutlery, placed in the spaces provided, long utensils, positioned lengthwise and small items. The “drawer” extraction system makes the basket easier to load, but it can also be taken completely off its runners by removing the retainers (as shown here). Take great care to replace the retainers to ensure that the basket does not come off the runners accidentally.

UPPER BASKET

It is recommended to load the upper basket with small- or medium-sized items such as glasses, small plates, tea or coffee cups, shallow bowls and light objects made from heat resistant plastic. If the upper basket is used in the lowermost position, it can also be loaded with serving dishes, provided they are only slightly soiled.

LOADING THE UPPER BASKET

Load plates facing forward; cups, bowls etc. must always be facing downwards. The left side of the basket can be loaded with cups and glasses on two levels. In the centre section, plates and saucers can be loaded vertically into the supports provided.

Loading examples:

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 the sliding support. The racks can be tipped to the 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.

ADJUSTING THE UPPER BASKET

The height of the top basket can be adjusted to allow large dishes or pans to be placed in the bottom basket.

The adjustment procedure may be type A or B, depending on the dishwasher model purchased.

Version A: pull-out with adjustment in two positions.

• Pull out both the basket guides.
• Remove the stops, first releasing them as shown in the diagram.
• Pull out the basket.
• Fit the upper or lower pair of wheels into the guide, depending on the setting required;
• Return the stops to their original position.

The left hand and right hand sides of the basket must always be set at the same height.

Version B: with adjustment in three positions on both sides.

The sides of the basket must always be set at the same height.

• Raise the basket by pulling on the top edge (1), to the first or second catch depending on the height required.
• To lower the basket, first release it by pulling the release lever (2). Adjustment is also possible with the basket loaded, but in this case when lowering the basket it should be held steady with one hand to avoid knocking the dishes.

3. Cleaning and maintenance

Before carrying out any work, always unplug the appliance from the electrical supply or switch off the all-pole disconnection device.

3.1 General warnings and recommendations

Avoid the use of acidic or abrasive detergents

Clean the outer surfaces and door-lining of the dishwasher regularly using a soft cloth moistened with water or with a normal detergent 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.

CLEANING THE WATER INTAKE FILTEF

The water intake filter A located at the outlet of the water supply tap needs to be cleaned periodically.

After having closed the water supply tap, unscrew the end of the water intake hose, remove the filter A and clean it delicately under running water. Reassemble filter A in its seat and carefully screw the water intake hose back into position.

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 and carefully replace them in their seats, checking that their rotary movement is in no way impeded.

• To remove the upper spray arm, unscrew locking ring R.
- To remove the lower spray arm, simply lift it up, pulling by the central part.

CLEANING THE FILTER UNIT

• It is advisable to periodically inspect the centre filter C and, if necessary, to clean it. To remove the filter, grip the tabs, turn them anticlockwise and lift upwards;
• push the centre filter D from the underside to remove it from the microfilter:
• separate the two parts which make up the plastic filter by pressing the body of the filter in the zone shown by the arrows;
• remove the centre filter by lifting it upwards.

GENERAL WARNINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CORRECT MAINTENANCE:

• The filters should be cleaned under running water 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 they might block hydraulic components, or foul 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 from the socket.
• Leave the door slightly open, in order to prevent the formation of unpleasant odours 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.

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 are not being cleaned properly, 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 obstructed;
  • 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 special container;
• 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 following the above troubleshooting instructions the problem persists, call the nearest After-Sales Centre.

WARNING: any operations performed on the appliance by unauthorised persons are not covered by the warranty and shall be paid for by the user.

4. Troubleshooting

The dishwasher is able to indicate a series of

malfunctions by

illuminating a number of lights simultaneously (see key below); “E” or “Err” (depending on the model) also appears on the display in the event of a malfunction.

FAULT		DESCRIPTION
E1		Acquastop failureThe anti-flooding system has been activated (for the relevant models only). The system is tripped in case of water leaks. Contact the after-sales service.
E2		Safety levelThe system which limits the water level inside the dishwasher has been tripped. Interrupt the program and switch off the dishwasher. Switch the dishwasher back on, program it again and start the washing cycle. If the problem persists, contact the after-sales service.
E3		Water heating malfunctionThe water is not heated or the heating parameters are not correct. Repeat the washing program; if the problem persists, contact the after-sales service.
E4		Water temperature monitoring malfunctionInterrupt the program and switch off the dishwasher.Switch the dishwasher back on, program it again and start the washing cycle. If the problem persists, contact the after-sales service.
E5		Water intake malfunctionThe appliance does not take in water or does not do so correctly. Check that the water connections are correct, the water intake tap is turned on and the filter is not fouled. If the problem persists, contact the after-sales service.
E6		Water pump-out malfunctionThe appliance does not pump out the water or does not do so correctly. Check that the drain hose is not kinked or crushed and that the siphon and filter are not fouled. If the problem persists, contact the after-sales service.
E7		Turbine flow-regulator malfunction(for the relevant models only)The appliance is not able to "measure" the amount of water loaded accurately. Interrupt the program and switch off the dishwasher. Switch the dishwasher back on, program it again and start the washing cycle. If the problem persists, contact the after-sales service.
E8		Alternate washing system malfunctionInterrupt the program and switch off the dishwasher.Switch the dishwasher back on, program it again and start the washing cycle. If the problem persists, contact the after-sales service.
E9		Water intake system malfunctionContact the after-sales service.
E11		Wash motor pump does not work
	Light off	Light on Light flashing

If an alarm occurs the appliance interrupts the program in progress and signals a fault.

• Alarms E1, E2, E3, E4, E8 and E9 interrupt the current program immediately.
• The E5, E6 alarms interrupts the running program once the cause is resolved, it will bring bach the execution of the program.
• The alarm E7 is visualized at the end of the cycle that comes, however, brought to the end since the operation of the dishwasher is not harmed.
  • E11: Contact the after-sales service.

To "reset" an alarm is necessary:

- Open and close the door, or turn off and on the machine. At this point is possible to program the dishwasher again.

If the malfunction persists, contact your authorised Service Centre.
