Frequently Asked Questions - LVI 980 A ROSIERES

What programs are available on the LVI 980 A?

The dishwasher offers 9 programs: Intensive (70°C), Universal (65°C), Daily (55°C), Eco 50°C (standardized program), Delicate (45°C), Glass (45°C), Soak (cold), Plate warmer (68°C), and Rapid 29' (29 minutes).

How to use the half load function?

Press the 'Basket selection' button to choose between half load upper basket, half load lower basket, or simultaneous accelerated wash (both baskets with reduced time).

What to do if the screen displays 'E1' with a beep?

Error E1 indicates that the water supply tap is closed or there is no water. Turn off the appliance, open the tap, then restart the cycle.

How to adjust the water softener?

To adjust the softener, open the door, press the 'Delayed start' and 'On/Off' buttons simultaneously. The current position (e.g., D4) is displayed. Press 'Delayed start' to change the level (D1 to D7) according to your water hardness. Wait for the beep to confirm.

When should I fill the salt reservoir?

The 'salt shortage' indicator on the control panel lights up when the reservoir needs to be filled. Generally, this depends on water hardness and frequency of use. Fill with special dishwasher regeneration salt.

How to clean the filters?

After each wash, remove the central reservoir and the metal plate. Clean them under running water. The self-cleaning micro-filter should be checked every two weeks: turn the handle counterclockwise to remove it, clean it, then screw it back clockwise.

My dishwasher does not drain, what should I check?

Check that the filter is not clogged, that the drain hose is not kinked and that the drain height is correct (minimum 40 cm). Make sure the end of the hose is not immersed in the sink water.

Can I use hot water for supply?

Yes, you can connect the dishwasher to hot water, provided the temperature does not exceed 60°C. Too hot water can damage the appliance.

What to do if dishes are stained white after washing?

White stains are often due to hard water. Check the salt and rinse aid levels. Increase the rinse aid dosage (setting from 1 to 6, recommended position 3). If necessary, set the softener to a higher level.

How to activate delayed start?

Press the 'Delayed start' button. Each press increases the delay up to 19 hours maximum. Once the desired delay is displayed, press the 'Start' button to begin the countdown. You can cancel by holding down the 'Start' button until the program returns.

The waterblock system

Fig. 1

Technical diagram showing a mechanical device connected to a valve, with an inset view highlighting a specific component labeled 'A' and a cross mark.

The waterblock system has been designed to improve the safety of your appliance, particularly when the machine is left unattended.

The waterblock system actually prevents flooding which might be caused by a machine malfunction or as a result of a fracture on the pipes.

How does waterblock work

The sump located in the base of the appliance collects any possible water leakage and operates a sensor which subsequently activates a valve placed under the water tap and stops any water from the supply even with the tap fully opened. If the box containing the electrical parts is damaged, remove the plug from the socket immediately.

To ensure perfect operation of the safety system, box "A" with the hose, should be connected to the tap as shown in Figure "1". The inlet hose should not be cut, as it contains parts under load. If the hose is not long enough for correct connection, it must be replaced with a longer one. The hose can be obtained from your Service Agent.

"WARNING"

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

Fuses and plugs

This appliance should be used only on a socket with a minimum rating of 13 Amp.

Our ready-fitted plug is already equipped with a 13 amp fuse which is BS 1362 ASTA approved.

Any replacement should be exactly the same.

If the fuse cover is lost, do not use the plug until it is replaced. A correct replacement fuse cover (obtainable from your dealer or Electricity Board) must be the same colour as shown or named on the insert on the base of the plug.

Water connection

The inlet and drain hoses can be directed to left or right.

The dishwasher can be connected to either cold or hot water, as long as it is no hotter than 60 °C.

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 to lengthen the inlet pipe, an extension pipe can be fitted.

If limescale deposits or sand are present in the water, it is advisable to obtain the appropriate filter, art. 9226085, from the 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 4 cm. It is advisable to fit an anti-odour air trap (fig. 4 x).

If necessary the outlet hose can be extended up to 2,6 m, provided that it is kept at a maximum height of 85 cm above floor level.

The hose can be hooked over the side of the sink (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. 4 y).

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. 4 z).

Check that there are no kinks in the inlet and outlet hoses.

Installation in fitted kitchens

Please refer to the technical notes for fitted kitchen

Opening the door

If the machine comes open while it is working, an electrical safety device automatically switches everything off.

For the machine to work properly, the door should not be opened while it is in operation.

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.

Water softener unit

According to 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 with electronic programmer

The water softener can treat water with a hardness level of up to 90°fH (French grading) or 50°dH (German grading) through 8 settings.

The settings are listed in the table below:

Level	Water hardness	Water hardness	Use of regenerating salt	Water softener setting
	^ FH (French)	^ dH (German)
0	0-5	0-3	NO	D1
1	6-10	4-6	YES	D1
2	11-20	7-11	YES	D2
3	21-30	12-16	YES	D3
4	31-40	17-22	YES	D4
5	41-50	23-27	YES	D5
6	51-60	28-33	YES	D6
7	61-90	34-50	YES	D7

The softener unit is set in the factory at level 4 (D4) as this satisfies the requirements of the majority of users. Regulate the setting of your water softener unit according to the degree of hardness of your water as follows: open the door, keep the delay start button pressed in and at the same time press the stop/start button ? .

The factory setting "D4" will appear on the display. To change the setting, press the delay start button 📊. Each time you press that button the setting will increase by one level. When you have reached "D7", the display will go back to "D1".

When the required setting appears on the display, wait for an audible signal to confirm that the new setting has been stored in memory.

DISPLAY START DELAY BUTTON STOP/START BUTTON

Loading the salt

The dishwasher is fitted with a softener which clears the water of lime which could cause scale and damage the dishwasher.

On the bottom of the machine there is a container for the salt for regenerating the softener (fig. A1).

The filter medium of the softening plant must be reactivated with dishwasher water softener regenerating salt.

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 (fig. 8).

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.

If the dishwasher is not required straightaway, set the Prewash programme so that the salt solution which has overflowed is discharged from the washing tank.

The salt dispenser has a capacity of between 1.5 and 1.8 kg and, for efficient use of the appliance, it should be refilled from time to time according to the regulation of the water softener unit.

Salt loading indicator

This model is provided with an electric light on the control panel which lights 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 27 cm to 31 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 follows:

1) Pull out the upper basket;

2) Then grasp the basket from both sides and lift it upwards (fig. 20).

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:

1) Grasp the basket from both sides and lift slightly upwards (fig. 21a);

2) Then slowly release into the correct position (fig. 21b).

N. B.: NEVER LIFT OR LOWER THE BASKET BY ONE SIDE ONLY (fig.21/1).

Attention :

It is advisable to adjust the basket before loading the dishes.

Loading dishes

To load dishes

For good wash performance remove any debris from the dishes (bones, tooth picks, the remains of meat and vegetables) to avoid blocking the filters, water outlet and washing arm nozzles and, as a result, reducing washing efficiency.

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.

Using the upper basket

The upper basket is provided with mobile racks hooked to the sides of the basket which can be regulated in two positions: upright and lowered. In the lowered position the racks may

be used for tea and coffee cups, kitchen knives and ladles. Glasses with stems may be safely hung on the ends of the racks.

Glasses, cups, saucers and dessert plates may be loaded under the racks.

Soup plates and ordinary plates may be loaded with the rack in the upright position.

Plates should be loaded vertically with the bottom 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 plates of the same size together in order to utilize maximum basket capacity.

Plates may be loaded in a single row (Fig. 13) or on both rows (Fig. 14).

It is advisable to load large plates (approx. 270 mm) 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.

Using the lower basket

Saucepans, oven dishes, tureens, salad bowls, lids, serving dishes, dinner plates, soup plates and ladles can be loaded on the lower basket.

Place the cutlery in the plastic cutlery holder with the handles pointing upwards.

Place the cutlery holder on the lower basket (fig. 15), making sure that the cutlery does not get in the way of the rotating arms.

A standard daily load is represented in Figs. 13, 14 and 15.

General programme comparison

(see programmes selection)

Ref. EN 50242 Standards:

1) Upper basket position: low
2) Normal load
3) Shine setting: 5
4) Amount of detergent:

- 3 gr for pre-wash

- 27 gr for wash.

Loading the detergent and the rinse aid.

Filling the detergent container

It is essential to use a detergent that is specifically designed for dishwashers either in powder, liquid or tablet form.

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.

Normal wash

The detergent container is inside the door (fig. A "2"). If the lid of the container is closed it is sufficient to press the button to open. At the end of every wash cycle the lid is always open and ready for the next time the dishwasher is used.

The amount of detergent to be used varies according to how dirty the dishes to be washed are and on the type of dishes to be washed. We advise using 20-30 gr of detergent in the wash section of detergent compartment 1 (Fig.9).

After pouring the detergent into the container close the lid.

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 not only does not produce better results but is also a waste. Do not use an excessive amount of detergent help limit damage to the environment at the same time.

Wash with soaking cycle (prewash)

If setting the intensive wash programme, a second dose of about 20 gr of detergent (1 table-spoon) must be added to the machine in the prewash section of detergent compartment 2 (Fig.10).

For normal programme add 5 gr. This dose should be placed directly in the prewash section of detergent compartment 2.

Filling the rinse aid container

The rinse aid container can be found to the right of the detergent container: it has a capacity of about 130 ml (Fig A "3"). Turn the cap (B) anticlockwise and pour enough liquid will last several washes, up to the maximum level shown (Fig.11). Replace the cap.

The rinse aid, which is automatically released during the last rinsing cycle, helps the dishes to dry quickly and prevents spots and stains forming.

It is always advisable to use rinse aid.

Check the rinse aid level through the indicator eye which is situated in the centre of the dispenser (A).

Regulating the rinse aid from 1 to 6

The regulator is placed under the cap (B) and can be turned using a coin. The recommended position is 3 (Fig.12).

The limestone content of the water considerably affects the formation of scale 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. 5).

For ease of cleaning, the central container is removable (fig. 6).

Remove the gauze filter (fig. 7) 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.

NB: 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.

Warning: never use the dishwasher without the filters.

Practical hints

Selecting the programme

This dishwasher offers you a wide range of wash programmes so that you can choose the most suitable according to the type of dishes and how dirty they are.

Refer to the PROGRAMME LIST to choose the most suitable programme.

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.

How to make SAVINGS

1) 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 PRE-WASH 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.

2) 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.

How to get really good wash RESULTS

1) Place the dishes face downwards.

2) 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.

3) 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 etc. that could clog up the outflow and the washing arm jets.

4) After loading the dishes check that the washing arms can rotate freely.

5) 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.

6) 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

What to DO if

1) You want to stop the dishwasher to put in more dishes whilst it is in the middle of a wash. Open the door only after pressing the O/I button so that the dishwasher is in OFF.

After closing the door, wait 3 minutes before starting up the machine again.

What not to wash

It should also 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 also 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.

Cleaning and maintenance

The outside of the cabinet can be cleaned with a non-abrasive cleaning agent suitable for a gloss finish.

The dishwasher does not require special maintenance, because the tank is selfcleaning. 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.1b). Push it upwards 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.

1 1b

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:

1. do an empty wash with detergent in order to clean the machine of any deposits.
2. pull out the electric plug.
3. turn off the water tap.
4. fill the rinse aid container.
5. leave the door ajar.
6. Keep the inside of the machine clean.
7. If the machine is left in places where the temperature is below 0^ C 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.

Identifying minor faults

Warning!

Before removing any panel: 1. Turn the knob to STOP.

CAUSE
REMEDY

8 - 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
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	Load dishes better onto the basket
	The revolving arms knock against the dishes	Load dishes better
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

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.
