SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
There are certain basic safety rules which are valid for any domestic appliance.
Installation
Make sure that the plug fitted to the machine is compatible with the power supply socket. If it is not, get a suitably qualified person to fit the correct type, and to make sure that the cables to the mains socket are able to cope with the power rating of the appliance.
■ Ensure that the dishwasher does not crush power cables.
In general it is not advisable to use adaptors, multiple plugs and/or extension cables.
Should it be necessary to replace the supply cord, call the After Sales Service Centre.
Safety
- Never touch the appliance when your hands or feet are wet or damp.
Do not use when your feet are bare.
- Do not remove the plug from the mains supply socket by pulling the mains cable or the machine itself.
- Do not leave the appliance exposed to the elements (rain, sun etc).
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Water left in the machine or on the dishes at the end of the wash programme should not be swallowed.
The door should not be left in the open position since this could present a potential hazard (es. tripping).
Leaning or sitting on the open door of the dishwasher could cause it to tip over.
WARNING!
Knives and other utensils with sharp points must be loaded in the basket with their points down or placed in a horizontal position.

- staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments;
- farm houses;
- by clients in hotels, motels and other residential type environments;
- bed and breakfast type environments.
A different use of this appliance from household environment or from typical housekeeping functions, as commercial use by expert or trained users, is excluded even in the above applications.
If the appliance is used in a manner inconsistent with this it may reduce the life of the appliance and may void the manufacturer's warranty.
Any damage to the appliance or other damage or loss arising through use that is not consistent with domestic or household use (even if located in a domestic or household environment) shall not be accepted by the manufacturer to the fullest extent permitted by law.
The dishwasher is designed for normal kitchen utensils.
Objects that have been contaminated by petrol, paint, traces of steel or iron, corrosive chemicals, acids or alkalis must not be washed in the dishwasher.
If there is a water softening device installed in the home there is no need to add salt to the water softener fitted in the dishwasher.
Cutlery is washed best if it is placed in the basket with the handles downwards.
If the appliance breaks down or stops working properly, switch it off, turn off the water supply and do not tamper with it. Repair work should only be carried out by an approved service agent and only genuine spare parts should be fitted. Any failure to follow the above advice may have serious consequences for the safety of the appliance.
Disposal
The dishwasher has been made from materials which can be recycled so that it can be disposed of in an environmentally friendly way.
If you wish to dispose of an old dishwasher be careful to remove the door to eliminate the risk of children becoming trapped inside it.
INSTALLATION (Technical notes)
IMPORTANT
When the appliance is located on a carpet floor, attention must be paid to ensure that there is no obstruction to the bottom vents.
Make sure that the plug on the appliance remains accessible after installation.
Electrical connection
This appliance complies with international safety standards, and is fitted with a 3 pin plug with earth connection to ensure complete earthing of the product.
Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply it is important to ensure:
- that the supply socket is properly earthed;
- that your electricity supply is capable of meeting the consumption requirements listed on the rating plate of your appliance.
WARNING!
Ensure that your product is properly earthed.
In the absence of adequate earthing you will notice that when touching the metal parts of your appliance an electrical dispersion can be felt, due to the presence of a radio interference suppressor.
Manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage due to non-earthing of the machine.
Appliance complies with European Directives 73/23/EEC and 89/336/EEC, replaced by 2006/95/EC and 2004/108/EC, and subsequent amendments.
Water connection
IMPORTANT
The appliance must be connected to the water mains using new hose-sets. The old hose-sets should not be reused.
The inlet and drain hoses can be directed to left or right.
IMPORTANT
The dishwasher can be connected to either cold or hot water, as long as it is no hotter than 60^ .
Water pressure must be between 0,08 MPa and 0,8 MPa. If the pressure is below the minimum consult our service department for advice.
The inlet hose must be connected to a tap so that the water supply can be cut off when the machine is not in use (fig. 1 B).
The dishwasher is fitted with 3 / 4'' threaded connector (fig.2).
- Connect inlet hose "A" to water tap "B" with a 3/4" attachment making sure that it has been properly tightened.
If it is necessary, the inlet pipe can be lengthened up to 2.5m . The extension pipe is available from the After Sales Service Centre.
If limescale deposits or sand are present in the water, it is advisable to obtain the appropriate filter, art. 9226085, from the After Sales Service Centre (fig. 3). The filter "D" must be inserted between the tap "B" and the inlet hose "A", remembering to fit the washer "C".
If the dishwasher is connected to new pipes or to pipes which have not been in use for a long time run water through for a few minutes before connecting the inlet hose. In this way no deposits of sand or rust will clog up the water inflow filter.
Connecting the outlet hose
The outlet hose should discharge into a standpipe, making sure that there are no kinks (fig. 4).
The standpipe must be at least 40~cm above floor level and it must have an internal diameter of at least 4cm .
It is advisable to fit an anti-odour air trap (fig. 4X).
If necessary the outlet hose can be extended up to 2,5m provided that it is kept at a maximum height of 85 cm above floor level. The extension pipe is available from the After Sales Service Centre.
The hose can be hooked over the side of the sink, but it must not be immersed in water, in order to prevent water from being syphoned back to the machine when this is in operation (fig. 4Y).
- When installing the appliance under a worktop the hose pipe clamp must be attached to the wall in the highest possible position under the worktop (fig. 4Z).
- Check that there are no kinks in the inlet and outlet hoses.
Opening the door
If the machine comes open while it is working, an electrical safety device automatically switches everything off.
Closing the door
Place the baskets in the machine.
Make sure that both the spray arms are free to rotate and are not obstructed by cutlery, crockery or pans. Close the door, pressing on it to make sure it is firmly shut.
IMPORTANT
For the machine to work properly, the door should not be opened while it is in operation.
WATER SOFTENER UNIT
Depending on the source of the supply, water contains varying amounts of limestone and minerals which are deposited on the dishes leaving whitish stains and marks. The higher the level of these minerals present in the water, the harder the water is. The dishwasher is fitted with a water softener unit which, through the use of special regenerating salt, supplies softened water for washing the dishes. The degree of hardness of your water can be obtained from your water supply company.
Regulating the water softener
The softener unit can treat water with a hardness of up to 90^ (French grading) or 50^ (German grading) through 6 different settings.
The table below lists different degrees of water hardness with the corresponding setting for the softener unit.
| Level | Water hardness | Use of regenerating salt | Water softer setting |
| dH(French grading) | dH(German grading) |
| 0 | 0-5 | 0-3 | NO | No indicator lights |
| 1 | 6-15 | 4-9 | YES | Indicator light 1 |
| 2 | 16-30 | 10-16 | YES | Indicator lights 1,2 |
| *3 | 31-45 | 17-25 | YES | Indicator lights 1,2,3 |
| 4 | 46-60 | 26-33 | YES | Indicator lights 1,2,3,4 |
| 5 | 61-90 | 34-50 | YES | Indicator lights 1,2,3,4 flashing |
- The water softener unit is set in the factory at level 3, as this is suitable for the majority of users.
According to the degree of hardness of your water, regulate the softener unit in the following way:
IMPORTANT The dishwasher must ALWAYS be off before start of this procedure.
- Hold down the FIRST "PROGRAMME" button (from the right) and at the same time switch on the dishwasher by pressing the "ON/OFF" button (a brief audible signal will sound).
- Keep the "PROGRAMME" button pressed for at least 5 seconds, UNTIL an audible signal sounds. Some "PROGRAMME SELECTION" indicator lights will come on to indicate the current water softener setting level.
- Press the same button again to select the required water softener level: each time the button is pressed, one indicator light will come on (the water softener level is indicated by the number of lights on). For level 5, 4 lights will flash, for level 0 all lights will be off.
- Turn off the dishwasher by pressing the "ON/OFF" button to confirm the new setting.
WARNING!
If any problem occurs, turn the dishwasher off by pressing the "ON/OFF" button and start the procedure again from the beginning (STEP 1).
LOADING THE SALT
On the bottom of the machine there is a container for the salt for regenerating the softener.
It is important to use only a salt that is specifically designed for dishwasher. Other types of salt contain small quantities of insoluble particles which over a long period of time may affect and deteriorate the softener performance.
To add salt, unscrew the cap of the container on the bottom and then refill the container.
During this operation a little water will overflow; but keep adding salt until the container is full. When the container is full, clean the thread of salt residue and retighten the tap.
After loading the salt, it is recommended running a complete washing cycle, or COLD RINSE programme. The salt dispenser has a capacity of between 1.5 and 1.8kg and, for efficient use of the appliance, it should be refilled from time to time according to the regulation of the water softener unit.
IMPORTANT
(Only for first start up)
When the appliance is used for the first time, after completely filling the salt container, it is necessary to add water until the container overflows.
Salt loading indicator
This model is provided with an indicator light on the control panel which will light up when it is necessary to reload the salt container.
IMPORTANT
The appearance of white stains on dishes is generally an important sign that the salt container needs filling.
ADJUSTMENT OF THE UPPER BASKET
If 29 cm to 32,5 cm plates are normally used, load them onto the lower basket after the upper basket has been placed in its upper position and proceed as detailed below:
- Pull out the upper basket;
- Then grasp the basket from both sides and lift it upwards (fig. 1).
Dishes that are bigger than 20~cm in diameter can no longer be loaded onto the upper basket and the mobile supports cannot be used when the basket is in the upper position.
ADJUST BASKET TO THE LOWER POSITION:
- Grasp the basket from both sides and lift slightly upwards (fig. 2a);
- Then slowly release into the correct position (fig. 2b).
it is advisable to adjust the basket before loading the dishes.
LOADING DISHES
Using the upper basket
The upper basket is provided with mobile racks hooked to the sides of the basket, which can be regulated into 4 positions.
In the lowered position (A-A1) the racks may be used for such items as: tea and coffee cups, kitchen knives and ladles. Also glasses with stems may be safely hung on the ends of the racks.
In the upright position (B-B1) the racks allow you to load dinner plates and soup plates. Plates should be loaded vertically with the underside of the plate towards the back of the dishwasher with a space between each plate to allow water to pass freely.
It is advisable to load large plates (approx. 26 or more cm) slightly tilted towards the rear to facilitate introduction of the basket into the machine.
- Salad bowls and plastic bowls may also be loaded on the upper basket. It is advisable to block these in place so that the jets of water do not make them overturn.
The upper basket has been designed to offer maximum flexibility in use and can be loaded with up to 24 plates on two rows, up to 30 glasses on five rows or a mixed load.
A standard daily load is represented in figs. 1, 2 and 3.

Place the cutlery in the plastic cutlery holder with the handles pointing upwards.
- Place the cutlery holder on the lower basket (fig. 4 and 5), making sure that the cutlery does not get in the way of the rotating arms.
IMPORTANT
The lower basket has a safety-stop device, for its safe extraction, also especially useful with a full load. For loading salt, cleaning filter and for ordinary maintenance, the complete extraction of the basket is necessary.
Please load the dishwasher sensibly to ensure the best wash results.

The top of cutlery basket can be removed, for enable various loading options.
Please ask information required for comparison testing and measuring noise levels, according to EN normative, to the following address:
testinfo-dishwasher@candy.it
In the request, please specify model name and number of the dishwasher (see rating plate).
LOADING THE DETERGENT
The detergent
IMPORTANT
It is essential to use a detergent that is specifically designed for dishwashers either in powder, liquid or tablet form.
"FINISH" gives very good results and can be easily obtained.
Unsuitable detergents (like those for washing up by hand) do not contain the proper ingredients for use in a dishwasher, and stop the dishwasher from working correctly.
Filling the detergent container
The detergent container is inside the door (fig. A “2”). If the lid of the container is closed, press the button (A) to open.
At the end of every wash cycle the lid is always open and ready for the next time the dishwasher is used.
WARNING!
When loading the lower basket, please ensure that the plates or others do not obstruct the detergent dispenser.
The amount of detergent to be used varies according to how dirty the dishes are and on the type of dishes to be washed.
We advise using 20÷ 30g of detergent in the wash section of detergent compartment (B).
After pouring the detergent into the container, close the lid, firstly pushing (1) and then pressing on it (2) until you hear the click.
Since not all detergents are the same the instructions on the boxes of detergent can vary. We should just like to remind users that too little detergent does not clean the dishes properly whilst too much detergent will not produce better results and is also a waste.
IMPORTANT
Do not use an excessive amount of detergent and help limit damage to the environment at the same time.
TYPES OF DETERGENT
Detergent tablets
Detergent tablets of different manufacturers dissolve at different speeds, for this reason, during short programmes, some detergent tablets may be not fully effective, because they are not completely dissolved. If these products are used, is recommended to choose longer programmes to guarantee the complete use of the detergent.
IMPORTANT
To get satisfactory washing results, the tablets MUST be placed in the wash section of the detergent container and NOT directly in the tub.
Concentrated detergents
The concentrated detergents, with reduced alkalinity and with natural enzymes, in conjunction with 50^ wash programmes, have a smaller impact on the environment and they protect the dishes and the dishwasher.
The 50^ wash programmes purposely exploit the dirt-dissolving properties of the enzymes, allowing therefore, with the use of the concentrated detergents, to achieve the same results of the 65^ programmes but at a lower temperature.
Combined detergents
The detergents that also contain the rinse aid must be placed in the wash section of the detergent container. The rinse aid container must be empty (if it is not empty, set the rinse aid regulator to lowest position before using combined detergents).
"ALL in 1" combined detergents
If you are planning to use "ALL in 1" ("3 in 1 "/ "4 in 1"/ "5 in 1", etc.) combined detergents i.e. those with built in salt and/or rinse agent, we would advise the following:
■ read carefully and follow the manufacturer's instructions given on the packaging;
the effectiveness of detergents containing the built in water softener/salt depends on the hardness of your water supply. Check that the hardness of your water supply is within the effective range given on the detergent packaging.
If when using this type of product, you don't get satisfactory washing results, please contact the detergent manufacturer.
In certain circumstances use of combined detergents can cause:
limescale deposits on dishes or in the dishwasher;
a reduction in washing and drying performance.
IMPORTANT
Any problems which arise as a direct result of the use of these products are not covered by our warranty.
Please note that using the "ALL in 1" combined detergents, the rinse aid and salt indicator lights (only used on selected models) are superfluous, so you must ignore the lights.
If washing and/or drying problems occur, we recommend you return to use traditional separate products (salt, detergent and rinse agent). This will ensure that the water softener in the dishwasher operates correctly.
In this case, we recommends that you:
■ refill both the salt and rinse aid container;
run one normal washing cycle without a load.
Please note that on return to the use of conventional salt, a number of cycles will be required before the system becomes fully efficient again.
LOADING THE RINSE AID
The rinse aid
The rinse aid, which is automatically released during the last rinsing cycle, helps the dishes to dry quickly and prevents spots and stains forming.
Filling the rinse aid container
The rinse aid container can be found to the left of the detergent container (fig. A "3").
To open the lid, push the reference mark and, in the same time, pull the tab of opening.
It is always advisable to use rinse aid that is specifically designed for dishwasher.
Check the rinse aid level through the indicator eye (C) which is located on the dispenser.
FULL
EMPTY
dark
light
Regulating the rinse aid from 1 to 6
The regulator (D) is placed under the lid and can be turned using a coin.
The recommended position is 4.
The limestone content of the water considerably affects the formation of limescale and the drying performance.
It is therefore important to regulate the quantity of rinse aid to achieve good washing results.
If, after the wash, streaks occur on the dishes, decrease the amount by one position. If whitish spots occur, increase the amount by one position.
CLEANING THE FILTERS
The filter system (fig.A "4") consists of:
a central container that traps the larger particles;
a flat gauze that continuously filters the wash water;
a micro filter, located beneath the gauze, that traps the tiniest particles ensuring a perfect rinse.
To achieve excellent results every time, the filters should be checked and cleaned after each wash.
To remove the filter unit, simply turn the handle anticlockwise (fig. 1).
For ease of cleaning, the central container is removable (fig. 2).
Remove the gauze filter (fig.3) and wash the whole unit under a jet of water. If necessary a small brush can be used.
- With the Self-cleaning Micro filter, maintenance is reduced and the filter unit need only be checked every two weeks. Nevertheless, after each wash it is advisable to check that the central container and the gauze filter are not clogged.
WARNING!
After cleaning the filters, make sure that they are correctly reassembled and that the gauze filter is properly positioned at the bottom of the dishwasher.
Make sure that the filter is screwed back, clockwise, into the gauze, as poor seating of the filter unit could have an adverse effect on the efficiency of the appliance.
IMPORTANT
Never use the dishwasher without the filters.
PRATICAL HINTS
How to get really good wash results
Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove any remaining food (bones, shells, pieces of meat or vegetables, coffee grounds, skin of fruit, cigarette ash, tooth picks etc. to avoid blocking the filters, water outlet and washing arm nozzles.
Try not to rinse the dishes before loading them into the dishwasher.
If saucepans and oven dishes are encrusted with the remains of burnt or roast food, it is advisable to leave them to soak before washing.
Place the dishes face downwards.
Try to place the dishes in such a way that they are not touching one another. If they are loaded properly you will get better results.
After loading the dishes check that the washing arms can rotate freely.
Pans and other dishes that have particularly stubborn food particles or remnants of burnt food should be left to soak in water with dishwasher detergent.
To wash silver properly:
a) rinse the silver immediately after use, especially if it has been used for mayonnaise, eggs, fish etc.;
b) do not sprinkle detergent onto it;
c) keep it separate from other metals.
How to make savings
If you want the dishwasher to give a complete wash, place the dishes in the dishwasher at the end of each meal and if necessary turn on the COLD RINSE cycle to soften the food remains and remove bigger particles of food from the new load of dishes. When the dishwasher is full start the complete wash cycle programme.
If the dishes are not very dirty or if the baskets are not very full select an ECONOMY programme, following the instructions in the program list.
What not to wash
It should be remembered that not all dishes are suitable for washing in a dishwasher. We advise against using the dishwasher to wash items in thermoplastic, cutlery with wooden or plastic handles, saucepans with wooden handles, items in aluminium, crystal, leaded glass unless otherwise stated.
Certain decorations may fade. It is therefore a good idea before loading the whole batch to wash just one of the items first so as to be sure that others like it will not fade.
It is a good idea not to put silver cutlery with non-stainless steel handles into the dishwasher as there could be a chemical reaction between them.
IMPORTANT When buying new crockery or cutlery always make sure that they are suitable for washing in a dishwasher.
Useful hints
In order to avoid any dripping from the top rack, remove the lower rack first.
If the dishes are to be left in the machine for some time, leave the door ajar, to let some air circulate and to improve the drying performance.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
To clean the dishwasher outside, do not use solvents (degreasing action) neither abrasives, but only a cloth soaked with water.
The dishwasher does not require special maintenance, because the tank is self-cleaning.
Regularly wipe the door gasket with a damp cloth to remove any food remains or rinse aid.
It is advisable to remove limestone deposits or dirt periodically, by doing an empty wash; pour a glass of vinegar on the bottom of the tank and select the light wash.
If, in spite of the routine cleaning of the filters, you notice that the dishes or pans are not properly washed or rinsed, check that all the spray heads on the rotor arms (fig. A "5") are clear.
If they are blocked, clean them in the following way:
- to remove the upper rotor arm, turn it until it lines up with the stop marked by the arrow (fig. 1). Push it upwards (fig. 1b) and, keeping it pushed in, unscrew it in a clockwise direction (to reassemble it repeat the same operation, but turn it anticlockwise). The lower rotor arm can be removed simply by pulling it upwards (fig. 2);
- wash the rotor arms under a jet of water to clear any blockage in the spray heads;
- when you have finished, refit the rotor arms in the same position, remembering to re-align the arrow and screw into position.
- Both the door lining and the tank lining are in stainless steel; however, should spots caused by oxidation occur, this is probably due to a high level of iron salts presents in the water.
The spots can be removed with a mild abrasive agent; never use chlorine based materials, steel wool, etc.
WHEN CYCLE IS FINISHED
After every wash it is essential to turn off water supply and to switch off the machine by pressing the On/Off button to the off position.
If the machine is not going to be used for some time, it is advisable to follow these rules:
- do an empty wash with detergent in order to clean the machine of any deposits;
- pull out the electric plug;
- turn off the water tap;
- fill the rinse aid container;
- leave the door ajar;
- keep the inside of the machine clean;
- If the machine is left in places where the temperature is below 0^ any water left inside the pipes may freeze. Wait until the temperature rises above zero and then wait for about 24 hours before starting up the dishwasher.

Press the "ON/OFF" button ①. All the programme indicator lights will flash.
If you wish to select an option, press the option button (the corresponding indicator light will light up).
The option button can be selected or deselected WITHIN one minute of the programme commencing.
Choose a programme by pressing the corresponding button.
- Close the door (after an audible signal has sounded, the programme will start automatically).
WITHIN one minute of the programme commencing, another programme can be selected, simply by pressing the corresponding button.
IMPORTANT
To select the "COLD RINSE" programme, simultaneously press the "RAPID" programme button and "HPS" option button.
"IMPULSE" programmes
The "IMPULSE" programmes use an impurpose washing technology, which reduces consumption, noise and increases performances.
IMPORTANT
The "intermittent" working of the washing pump MUST NOT BE considered a malfunction, it is a characteristic of the impulse washing so must be considered a normal function of the programme.
Programme interruption
Opening the door when a programme is running is not recommended especially during the main wash and final hot rinse phases. However, if the door is opened while a programme is running (for example, to add dishes) the machine stops automatically. Close the door, without pressing any buttons. The cycle will start from where it left off.
WARNING!
If you open the door during the drying cycle, an audible audio signal advises you that the drying cycle has not yet finished.
Changing a running programme
Proceed as follows to change or cancel a running program:
Open the door.
Hold down the current programme button (with the indicator light on) for at least 5 seconds. The programme indicator lights will turn on and off individually and sequentially and some audible signals will sound.
The running programme will be cancelled and all the programme indicator lights will flash.
At this point a new programme can be set.
IMPORTANT
To cancel the "COLD RINSE" programme, simultaneously hold down the "RAPID" programme button and "HPS" option button.
WARNING!
Before starting a new programme, you should check that there is still detergent in the dispenser. If necessary, top up the dispenser.
Programme operations
When a programme is running the relevant indicator light will remain on and the 3 "PROGRAMME STATUS" indicator lights ("WASH", "RINSE", and "DRY") will light singularly and in sequence to indicate the current phase.
If there is any break in the power supply while the dishwasher is operating, a special memory stores the selected programme and, when the power is restored, it continues where it left off.
Programme end
A 5 second alarm will sound (if not muted) 3 times at 30 second intervals to signal that the programme has ended.
The selected programme indicator light (2 indicator lights for the "COLD RINSE" programme) will start to flash.
Dishes can now be removed and the dishwasher turned off by pressing the "ON/OFF" button or dishes can be loaded for new cycle.
The "HPS" option always guarantees the best results by more effectively dealing with heavier soiling. By using this option, the strength of the selected cycle will be increased, adding one rinse and increasing the temperature and water pressure in the washing phase where foreseen.
This option is recommended for very dirty dishes or when dirty dishes may not have been pre-treated allowing the soiling to dry up.
IMPORTANT
With this option selected the "IMPULSE" wash is turned off.
The dishwasher start time can be set with this button, delaying the start by 3, 6 or 9 hours.
Proceed as follows to set a delayed start:

| The inlet hose is bent | Eliminate the bends in the hose |
| The inlet hose filter is not correctly connected | Clean the filter at the end of the hose |
| 3 - Machine does not discharge water | Filter is dirty | Clean filter |
| Outlet hose is kinked | Straighten outlet hose |
| The outlet hose extension is not correctly connected | Follow the instructions for connecting the outlet hose carefully |
| The outlet connection on the wall is pointing downwards not upwards | Call a qualified technician |
| 4 - Machine discharges water continuously | Position of outlet hose is too low | Lift outlet hose to at least 40 cm above floor level |
| 5 - Spray arms are not heard to rotate | Excessive amount of detergent | Reduce amount of detergent Use suitable detergent |
| Item prevents arms from rotating | Check |
| Plate and cup filter very dirty | Clean plate and cup filter |
| 6 - On electronic appliances without a display: one or more indicator lights flashing quickly. | Water inlet tap turned off | Switch off the appliance. Turn on the tap. Re-set the cycle. |
| 7 - Load of dishes is only partially washed | See causes for no. 5 | Check |
| Bottom of saucepans have not been washed well | Burnt on food remains must be soaked before putting pans in dishwasher |
| Edge of saucepans have not been washed well | Reposition saucepans |
| Spray arms are partially blocked | Remove spray arms by unscrewing ring nuts clockwise and wash under running water |
| The dishes have not been properly loaded | Do not place the dishes too closely together |
| The end of the outlet hose is in the water | The end of the outlet hose must not come into contact with the outflow water |
| The incorrect amount of detergent has been measured out; the detergent is old and hard | Increase the measure according to how dirty the dishes are and change detergent |
| The wash programme is not thorough enough | Choose a more vigorous programme |
| The lower basket dishes have not been washed | Depress half load button |
| 8 - Detergent not dispensed or partially dispensed | Cutlery, dishes, pans, etc... stop the detergent dispenser opening | Position dishes not to obstruct the dispenser |
| 9 - Presence of white spots on dishes | Water is too hard | Check salt and rinse aid level and regulate amount. Should the fault persist, Contact Service Centre |
| 10 - Noise during wash | The dishes knock against one another | Re-check loading of dishes in the basket |
| The revolving arms knock against the dishes | Again re-check loading |
| 11 - The dishes are not completely dry | Inadequate air flow | Leave the dishwasher door ajar at the end of the wash program to allow the dishes to dry naturally |
| Rinse aid missing | Fill the rinse aid dispenser |
N.B.: Should any of the situations occur and should the machine give a bad wash performance, it is necessary to remove the deposits from the dishes by hand since the final drying cycle hardens the deposits which a second wash in the machine would not be able to remove.
If the malfunction continues contact a Service Centre quoting the serial number of the dishwasher. This is found on the plaque on the inside of the dishwasher door at the top or on the guarantee. This information will make it possible to take more effective action more quickly.
