Economical and ecological dishwashing

• Ensure that the water softener is correctly adjusted.
• Do not pre-wash under running water.
• Select the wash programme to suit the nature and degree of the soiling on the dishes.
• Do not use more detergent, dishwasher salt and rinse aid than is recommended in these operating instructions and by the manufacturer of the respective product.

Installation instructions

Any electrical and/or plumbing work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician and/or plumber or competent person.

Remove all packaging before positioning the machine.

If possible, position the machine next to a water tap and a drain.

Building-in

This dishwasher is designed to be fitted under a kitchen counter or worksurface.

Attention!

Carefully follow the instructions on the enclosed template for building in the dishwasher and fitting the furniture panel.

No further openings for the venting of the dishwasher are required, but only to let the water fill and drain hose and power supply cable pass through.

The dishwasher incorporates adjustable feet to allow the adjustment of the height.

During all operations that involve accessibility to internal components the dishwasher has to be unplugged.

When inserting the machine, ensure that the water inlet hose, the drain hose and the supply cable are not kinked or squashed.

Levelling

Good levelling is essential for correct closure and sealing of the door.

When the appliance is correctly levelled, the door will not catch on either side of the cabinet.

If the door does not close correctly, loosen or tighten the adjustable feet until the machine is perfectly level.

Fixing to the adjacent units

The dishwasher must be secured against tilting.

Therefore make sure that the counter it is fixed under, is suitably secured to a fixed structure (adjacent kitchen units cabinets, wall).

Water supply connections

This dishwasher may be fed with either hot (max. 60°) or cold water. Nevertheless we advise you a cold water supply.

A hot water supply is not always efficient with very soiled crockery as it shortens the washing programmes a lot.

For making the connection itself, the coupling nut fitted to the machine's supply hose is designed to screw onto a 3/4" inch gas thread spout or to a purpose made quick-coupling tap such as the Press-block.

The water pressure must be within the limits given in the "Technical specifications". Your local Water Authority will advise you on the average mains pressure in your area.

The water inlet hose must not be kinked, crushed, or entangled when it is being connected.

The dishwasher features fill and drain hoses which can be turned either to the left or the right to suit the installation by means of the locknut. The locknut must be correctly fitted to avoid water leaks. (Attention! NOT all models of dishwashers have fill and drain hoses provided with locknut. In this case, this kind of facility is not possible).

If the machine is connected to new pipes or pipes which have not been used for a long time, you should run the water for a few minutes before connecting the inlet hose.

Do not use, for connection, old hoses which have been used with another appliance.

The dishwasher is fitted with safety devices that prevent the wash water returning into the drinking water system and comply with the applicable plumbing regulations.

Water outlet hose connection

The end of the drain hose can be connected in the following ways:

1. To the sink outlet spigot, securing it to the underside of the work surface. This will prevent waste water from the sink running into the machine.
2. Hooked over the edge of the sink using the special curved plastic guide (if provided with the machine).
3. To a stand pipe provided with vent-hole, minimum internal diameter 4 cm.

The waste connection must be at a height of between 30 cm (minimum) and 100 cm (maximum) from the bottom of the dishwasher.

The drain hose can face either to the right or left of the dishwasher

Ensure the hose is not bent or squashed as this could prevent or slow down the discharge of water.

The sink plug must not be in place when the machine is draining as this could cause the water to syphon back into the machine.

If you use a drain hose extension it must be no longer than 2 metres and its internal diameter must be no smaller than the diameter of the hose provided.

CS18 2 m max max 100 cm min 30 cm

Likewise the internal diameter of the couplings used for connections to the waste outlet must be no smaller than the diameter of the hose provided.

Attention!

Our appliances are supplied with a security device to protect against the return of dirty water back into the machine.

If the spigot of your sink has a "no return valve" incorporated this can prevent the correct draining of your dishwasher.

We advise you therefore to remove it.

Electrical connection

Information concerning the electrical connection is given on the rating plate on the edge of the dishwasher's door.

Before plugging the appliance into the wall socket, make sure that:

1. The mains voltage and current rating at the site of installation match the nominal voltage and current rating given on the rating plate.
2. The meter, fuses, mains power supply and wall socket can all take the maximum load required. Make sure that the socket and plug are compatible without having to use any type of adaptor. If necessary, have the domestic wiring system socket replaced.

To isolate the dishwasher from mains, remove the mains plug.

Important!

The plug must still be accessible after the appliance has been installed.

In case that the electrical cable has to be replaced, please contact your local Service Force Centre.

The appliance should not be connected to the electrical supply by means of an extension cable.

Safety standards require the appliance to be earthed.

The manufacture accepts no liability for failure to observe the above safety precautions.

Prior to using for the first time

Before using your dishwasher for the first time:

1. Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply with the installation instructions
2. Remove all packaging from inside the appliance
3. Set the water softener
4. Pour 1 litre of water inside the salt container and then fill with dishwasher salt
5. Fill the rinse aid dispenser

Note:

If you want to use the "3 in 1" combi detergents, read carefully the informations given in "Different kinds of detergents".

The water softener

The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener designed to remove minerals and salts from the water supply, which would have a detrimental or adverse effect on the operation of the appliance.

The higher the content of these minerals and salts, the harder your water is.

Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, German degrees (dH°), French degrees (TH°) and mmol/l (millimol per litre - international unit for the hardness of water).

The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water in your area. Your local Water Authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area.

The water softener must be set in both ways: manually, using the water hardness dial and electronically, using the programme selector dial and the start/cancel button.

a) Setting manually

1. Open the dishwasher door.
2. Remove the lower basket from the dishwasher.

3. Turn the water hardness dial to position 1 or 2 (see table).

4. Replace the lower basket.

The dishwasher is factory set at position 2.

b) Setting electronically

(The dishwasher must be switched off)

The dishwasher is factory set at level 5.

1. Keep the start/cancel button pressed and turn the programme selector dial clockwise until the first washing programme programme corresponds with the On/Off indicator light.
   The On/Off and start/cancel indicator lights start to flash indicating that you have activated the water softener setting function.
   At the same time, the end of programme indicator light starts flashing.

The current level is indicated by the number of flashes of the end of programme indicator light and a pause of about 5 seconds.

Example: 5 flashes pause 5 flashes pause etc...= level 5

1. To change the level, press the start/cancel button.

Each time this button is pressed the level changes. (For the selection of the new level, see chart).

Examples:

If current level is 5, by pressing the start/cancel button once, level 6 is selected.

If current level is 10, by pressing the start/cancel button once, level 1 is selected.

The end of programme indicator light remains off for about 5 seconds and then starts flashing indicating the new set made.

1. To memorise the operation, switch off the machine by returning the programme selector dial to the Off position. Otherwise wait for about 60 seconds, after which the dishwasher will automatically return to setting mode.

Filling with dishwasher salt

Only use salt specifically designed for use in dishwashers.

All other types of salt not specifically designed for use in a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water softener.

Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete washing programmes.

This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been spilt, remaining on the bottom of the machine for any period of time, which may cause corrosion.

To fill:

1. Open the door, remove the lower basket and unscrew the cap of the salt container by turning it anticlockwise.

2. Pour 1 litre of water inside the container (this is necessary only before filling with salt for the first time).

3. Using the funnel provided, pour in the salt until the container is full.

4. Replace the cap making sure that there is no trace of salt on the screw thread or on the gasket.

5. Replace the cap tightly turning it clockwise until it stops with a click.

S2 ZOU1 SALT SALZ SALZ SEL SR14

The salt container will require topping up periodically. You are reminded of this by the salt indicator light on the control panel which comes on when the salt has finished.

The salt indicator light on the control panel can remain illuminated for 2-6 hours after the salt has been replenished, assuming the dishwasher remains switched on. If you are using salts that take longer to dissolve then this can take longer. The function of the machine is not affected.

Do not worry if water over flows from the unit when filling with salt, this is quite normal.

Rinse aid

Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying.

The dispenser, which is positioned inside the door, holds about 110 ml of rinse aid, which is sufficient for between 16 and 40 dishwashing cycles, depending upon the dosage setting.

Filling with rinse aid

1. Open the container by pressing the release button (A).
2. Add the rinse aid until the container is completely full. The maximum level for filling is indicated by "max".

A BR10

max BR16

Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill.

Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next wash.

Only use branded rinse aid for dishwashers. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances (e.g. dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This would damage the appliance.

Adjusting the dose

According to the finish and drying results obtained, adjust the dose of rinse aid by means of the 6 position selector (position

1 minimum dosage, position 6 maximum dosage).

The dose is factory set in position 4.

Increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on the dishes after washing.

Reduce it if there are sticky whitish streaks on the dishes or a bluish film on glassware or knife blades.

In daily use

• Check if it's necessary to refill with dishwasher salt or rinse aid
• Load cutlery and dishes into the dishwasher.
• Fill with dishwasher detergent.
• Select a wash programme suitable for the cutlery and dishes.
• Start the wash programme.

Loading cutlery and dishes

Sponges, household cloths and any object that can absorb water may not be washed in the dishwasher.

• Before loading the dishes, you should:

• Remove large left-overs.
• Soften remnants of burnt food in pans

- When loading the dishes and cutlery, please note:

• Dishes and cutlery must not impede the rotation of the spray arms.
• Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans, etc. with the opening downwards so that water cannot collect in the container or a deep base.
• Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another, or cover each other.
• To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch.
• Lay small objects in the cutlery basket.

- Plastic items and pans with teflon have a tendency to retain water drops; these items will not dry as well as porcelain and steel items.

For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery/dishes

are not suitable:

are of limited suitability:

- Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or mother-of-pearl handles- Plastic items that are not heat resistant- Older cutlery with glued parts that are not temperature resistant- Bonded cutlery items or dishes- Pewter or copper items- Lead crystal glass- Steel items prone to rusting- Wooden platters- Items made from synthetic fibres

- Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it is specifically marked as being dishwasher-safe by the manufacturer.- Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed frequently- Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to discolour during washing. Residues, e.g. egg white, egg yolk and mustard often cause discolouring and staining on silver. Therefore always clean left-overs from silver immediately, if it is not to be washed straight after use.- Some types of glass can become dull after a large number of washes

Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes.

The lower basket

The lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery etc.

Serving dishes and large lids should be arranged around the edge of the basket, ensuring that the spray arms can turn freely.

Line drawing of a mechanical device with multiple components and no visible text or symbols

The cutlery basket

Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard.

Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket.

Take care when loading or unloading sharp items such as knives.

Forks and spoons should be placed in the removable cutlery basket with the handles facing downwards and the knives with their handles facing upwards.

If the handles protrude from the bottom of the basket, obstructing the lower spray arm, load the cutlery with the handles facing upwards.

Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent them from sticking together.

For best results we recommend you to use the cutlery grid provided (if the size and dimensions of the cutlery allow it).

Diagram of a mechanical component with downward arrows indicating force or direction, no text or symbols present

The upper basket

The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates, saucers, dinner plates of up to 24 cm in diameter), salad bowls, cups and glasses.

Arrange items on and underneath the cup racks so that water can reach all surfaces.

Glasses with long stems can be placed upside down in the cup racks.

For taller items, the cup racks can be folded upwards.

Light items (plastic bowls etc.) must be loaded in the upper basket and arranged so they do not move.

Use of detergent

Only use detergents specifically designed for use in dishwashers.

Using no more than the correct amount of detergent contributes to reducing pollution.

Please observe the manufacturer's dosing and storage recommendations as stated on the detergent packaging.

Fill with detergent

1. If the lid is closed: press release button (1). The lid springs open.
2. Fill the detergent dispenser (2) with detergent. The marking indicates the dosing levels: 20 = approximately 20 g of detergent 30 = approximately 30 g of detergent

DE19 1

DE22

1. All programmes with prewash need an additional detergent dose (5/10 g) that must be placed in the prewash detergent chamber (3). This detergent will take effect during the prewash phase.

2. Close the lid and press until it locks in place.

Different kinds of detergent

Detergent tablets

Detergent tablets from different manufactures dissolve at different rates. For this reason, some detergent tablets do not attain their full cleaning power during short washing programmes. Therefore please use long washing programmes when using detergent tablets, to ensure the complete removal of detergent residuals.

Concentrated detergent

Today's detergents for dishwashers are almost exclusively low-alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes in tablet form.

Using 50^ C washing programmes in conjunction with these concentrated detergents reduces pollution and is good for your dishes, as these washing programmes are specially matched to the dirt-dissolving properties of the enzymes in concentrated detergents. It is for this reason that using 50^ C washing programmes in conjunction with concentrated detergents can achieve the same cleaning results that can otherwise only be achieved using 65^ C washing programmes.

Use of "3 in 1" combi detergents

These products are detergents with a combined cleaning, rinsing and salt function.

1. Check whether these detergents are suitable for your water hardness. Follow the manufacturers instructions.

NOTE: the refilling of the salt container and the rinse aid dispenser are no longer necessary. In this case the salt and the rinse aid indicator lights will always remain illuminated when the machine is switched on (not all dishwasher models are foreseen with salt and rinse aid indicator lights).

1. Select the lowest setting for water hardness.

2. Before the start of the washing programme put the "3 in 1" detergent in the detergent dispenser.

NOTE: If the drying results are not satisfactory we recommend that you:

1. Fill up the rinse aid dispenser with rinse aid.

2. Set the rinse aid dosage to position 2.

If you decide to turn back to the use of the standard detergent system we advise that you:

• Fill up the dispensers for salt and rinse aid again.
• Adjust the water hardness setting to the highest setting perform up to 3 normal washing programmes without loading any dishes.
• Adjust the water hardness setting according to the hardness of the water in your area.
• Adjust the rinse aid dosage.

NOTE: When using 4 in 1 detergents that integrate also anti-glass corrosion agent into "3 in 1" formula, please follow the same instruction as given for "3 in 1" detergents above.

To compensate the lower temperature, the duration of washing and drying have been extended.
(3) The consumption values are intended as a guide and depends on the pressure and the temperature of the water and also by the variations of the power supply.

Starting a washing programme

1. Check that the baskets have been loaded correctly and that the spray arms can rotate freely
2. Turn on the water tap
3. Close the dishwasher door
4. Setting and starting the programme

Turn the programme selector dial until the letter on the programme selector dial, corresponding to the desired programme, is parallel with the On/Off indicator light (see "Washing programmes" chart).

The On/Off indicator light illuminates.

The indicator lights of the phases foreseen for the programme start flashing.

Press the start/cancel button, the programme starts automatically and the start/cancel indicator light illuminates.

The indicator light of the phase in progress is illuminated.

NOTE: during the running of the programme, it is not possible to change the selection made by positioning the programme selector dial in correspondence of another programme. If you want to change the running washing programme you must cancel the selection made (see "To cancel a washing programme in progress").

Set the "delay start" of a programme:

Once the washing programme has been set, press the "delay start" button.

The corresponding indicator light illuminates.

Press the start/cancel button, the countdown of the delay start begins automatically.

The indicator lights of the phases turn off.

The opening of the door will not modify or interrupt the countdown.

Once the delay start has elapsed the washing programme will start automatically, the delay start indicator light turns off and the indicator light of the phase in progress illuminates.

To cancel a delay start in progress

Press the start/cancel button for about 5 seconds, the indicator lights of start/cancel and delay start buttons turn off while the indicator lights of the phases start flashing.

To start the selected washing programme press the start/cancel button.

NOTE: the washing programme or the countdown of the delay start will begin only after having pressed the start/cancel button. Until that moment it is possible to modify the selection made.

1. To interrupt or cancel a washing programme in progress

Interrupt or cancel a washing programme in progress ONLY if it's absolutely necessary.

Attention! Hot steam may escape when the door is opened. Open the door carefully.

Interrupt a washing programme in progress

Open the dishwasher door; the programme will stop.

Close the door; the programme will start from the point at which it was interrupted.

Cancel a washing programme in progress

Press the start/cancel button for about 5 seconds.

The start/cancel indicator light turns off and the phase indicator lights are flashing.

The running programme has been cancelled and it is now possible to set a new washing programme.

If a new washing programme is to be selected, check that there is detergent in the detergent dispenser.

1. End of the washing programme

The dishwasher will stop automatically.

The illumination of the end of programme indicator light indicates that the programme has ended.

Switch off the dishwasher by returning the programme selector dial to the Off position.

The On/Off indicator light turns off.

Open the dishwasher's door, leave it ajar and wait a few minutes before removing the dishes; in this way they will be cooler and the drying will be improved.

1. Unloading the dishwasher

Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks. The dishes should therefore be allowed to cool down before removing from the appliance.

Empty the lower basket first and then the upper one; this will avoid water dripping from the upper basket onto the dishes in the lower one.

Water may appear on the sides and the door of the dishwasher as the stainless steel will eventually become cooler than the dishes.

When the washing programme has finished, it is recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and the water tap turned off.

Maintenance and cleaning

Clean the external surfaces of the machine and control panel with a damp soft cloth. If necessary use only neutral detergents. Never use abrasive products, scouring pads or solvent (acetone, trichloroethylene etc....). Ensure that the seals around the door, the detergent and rinse aid dispensers are cleaned regularly with a damp cloth. We recommend every 3 months to run a 65^ wash programme without dishes using detergent.

Cleaning the filters

The filters must be checked and cleaned from time to time. Dirty filters will degrade the washing result.

1. Open the door, remove the lower basket.
2. The dishwasher filter system comprises a coarse filter (A), a microfilter (B) and a flat filter (C). Unlock the filter system using the handle on the microfilter, and remove.

A B MA46

1. Turn the handle about 14 a turn anticlockwise and remove.

MA39 1 2

1. Take hold of the coarse filter (A) by the handle with the hole and remove from the microfilter (B).

2. Clean all filters thoroughly under running water.

3. Remove the flat filter (C) from the base of the washing compartment and clean both faces thoroughly.

MA47 C

1. Put the flat filter (C) back in the base of the washing compartment.

2. Place the coarse filter (A) in the microfilter (B) and press together.

3. Put the filter combination in place and lock by turning the handle clockwise to the stop. During this process ensure that the flat filter does not protrude above the base of the washing compartment.

Attention!

Under no circumstances may the dishwasher be used without filters. Incorrect repositioning and fitting of the filters will produce poor washing results.

NEVER try to remove the upper spray arm.

If residues of soil have clogged the holes in the upper spray arm, remove them with a cocktail stick.

Prolonged periods of non-operation

If you are not using the machine for any period of time you are advised to:

1. Unplug the appliance and then turn off the water.
2. Leave the door ajar to prevent the formation of any unpleasant smells.
3. Leave the inside of the machine clean.

Frost precautions

Avoid placing the machine in a location where the temperature is below 0°C. If this is unavoidable, empty the machine, close the appliance door, disconnect the water inlet pipe and empty it.

Moving the machine

If you have to move the machine (moving house etc....):

1. Unplug it.
2. Turn the water tap off.
3. Remove the water inlet and discharge hoses.
4. Pull the machine out together with the hoses.
   Avoid over tilting the machine during transportation.
