USER INSTRUCTIONS 4 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE STARTING TO USE THE APPLIANCE, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD ALL THE WARNINGS CONTAI- NED IN CHAPTER 2 “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTION”. 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. Rev 0.0 15

4.1 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 spe- cial regenerating salt to reduce the hardness of the water. The dishwasher is factory set for water hardness level 3 (average hardness 41-60°dF - 24-31°dH 1 23.6-35 gpg). 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 (3.75 Ib) of salt in grains. Some mod- els are equipped with an optical no-salt indicator. In these models, the cap of the salt container contains a green float which descends as the salt concentra- tion in the water drops. When the green float can no longer be seen, the con- tainer must be topped up with regenerating salt. The container is situated at the bottom of the dishwasher. After removing the lower rack, unscrew the salt container cap (ref. A fig. 4-01) by turning it anticlockwise and pour in the salt using the funnel (ref. A fig. 4-02) supplied with the dishwasher. Before replacing the cap (ref. A fig. 4-01), remove any salt residues from around the opening.

USER INSTRUCTIONS Fig. 4-02 +_ When using the dishwasher for the first time, in addition to the salt it is also necessary to add one liter of water to the container. + Each time the salt container is refilled, make sure that the cap (ref. A fig. 4-01) 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 in- validated + 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 immedi- ately 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. Rev 0.0 17

dispensers The detergent and rinse aid dispensers are situated on the inner part of the door: the detergent dispenser (ref. A fig. 4-03) is on the left, and the rinse- aid dispenser (ref. B fig. 4-03) is on the right. Fig. 4-03 ERY 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 ADD- ED AS REQUIRED. 1e WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE SOAK PROGRAM, BEFORE EV- 18 Rev 0.0

The rinse aid helps the dishes dry faster and prevents the formation of scale de- posits 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. To add rinse aid: + Open the door. + _Rotate the container cover (ref. A fig. 4-04) anticlockwise by }4 of a turn and remove it. + Add the rinse aid until the container is full (approximately 140 ml). The optical level indicator (ref. B fig. 4-04), 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 (see “Description of controls” manual). Replace the cover (ref. A fig. 4-04) by turning it in a clockwise direction until it is fully closed. Use a cloth to remove any spillage of rinse aid which might lead to the forma- tion of excess foam:

4.2.2 Adjusting the rinse-aid dispenser setting

The rinse-aid dispenser can be set to one of 6 different levels. The dishwasher is factory set for medium water hardness (selector set to “3”). To change the setting, turn the dispenser selector (ref. c fig. 4-04) to the desired position: the amount of rinse-aid dispensed is proportional to the position of this selector. Make sure that the minimum amount of rinse-aid (selector turned to “1”) is approximately 1 ml and the maximum amount (selector turned to “6”) is ap- proximately 6 mil. Rev 0.0 19

USER INSTRUCTIONS To adjust the rinse aid setting, rotate the dispenser cover (ref. A fig. 4-04) through a quarter turn in an anticlockwise direction and remove it. + Then use a screwdriver to rotate the rinse aid selector to the desired posi- tion. Replace the cover (ref. A fig. 4-04) by turning it in a clockwise direction until it is fully closed. + 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 neces- Sary to reduce the rinse aid setting.

4.2.3 Adding the detergent

BURNS AND/OR PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE NOSE, MOUTH AND THROAT, AND EVEN LEADING TO SUFFOCATION; KEEP DE- TERGENT AWAY FROM YOUR EYES. IF ONE OF THE ABOVE SITU- ATIONS OCCURS, SEEK MEDICAL ASSISTANCE IMMEDIATELY. PREVENT CHILDREN FROM COMING INTO CONTACT WITH DE- TERGENT; KEEP THEM AWAY FROM THE DISHWASHER WHEN THE DOORIS OPEN AS IT MAY CONTAIN DETERGENT RESIDUES. FILL THE DISHWASHER JUST BEFORE STARTING THE WASHING CYCLE AND THEN KEEP THE DETERGENT OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN. To open the detergent dispenser cover, lightly press the relative button (ref. A fig. 4-05). Add the detergent and close the cover carefully, pushing down on the arrow (ref. B fig. 4-05). During the washing cycle, the dispenser will be opened automatically. Â DO NOT INHALE OR SWALLOW DETERGENT AS THIS MAY CAUSE Fig. 4-05 20 Rev 0.0

USER INSTRUCTIONS Fig. 4-06 When a program with hot prewash is selected (see program table in the “De- scription of Controls” manual), extra detergent must be placed in the cavity (ref. À or B fig. 4-06, depending on models). Only use dishwasher-specific detergents. 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 com- positions, which may contain phosphates, or be phosphate-free but con- tain natural enzymes. Detergents containing phosphates are more effective against grease and starch at temperatures above 60°C (140°F). Enzyme detergents, on the other hand, are also effective at lower tempera- tures (from 40 to 55°C / from 104 to 131°F) and are more easily biodegrad- able. With enzyme detergents it is possible to obtain at low temperatures comparable results to those which can only be achieved at 65°C (149°F) using traditional detergents. For the safeguarding of the environment we recommend the use of phosphate- and chlorine-free detergents. Rev 0.0 21

USER INSTRUCTIONS + When using detergent tabs, place them in the cutlery basket. The dispenser has been designed for powder or liquid detergent. As the cover does not open completely during the washing cycle, tabs are not fully released (dis- solved). This could generate the following problems: - insufficient detergent released during the cycle and poor washing results; - the detergent is compacted in the dispenser and is released during the final rinse cycle. DISPENSER, EVEN IN LIQUID FORM, WILL DAMAGE THE DISH- Â THE INTRODUCTION OF DETERGENT INTO THE RINSE AID WASHER.

4.3 General warnings and recommendations

Before using the dishwasher for the first time, it is advisable to read the follow- ing 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 racks 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 RACK. Use the “2 load wash” option (if available) for washing small amounts of dish- es; it saves water and electricity. When using this function, only load the rack selected for the 2 load wash:; the other rack must remain empty. There is no need to pre-wash the dishes under running water before loading them into the racks 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 racks 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 al- low 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. 22 Rev 0.0

USER INSTRUCTIONS 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 wash- ing temperatures. + Handcrafted items: these are rarely suitable for washing in a dishwasher. The relatively high water temperatures and the detergents used may dam- age them. Lightweight objects: place lightweight objects in the upper rack where the water pressure is lower. Dishes and objects in copper, tin, zinc or brass: these tend to stain. Aluminum dishes: items made from anodized aluminum may lose their color. 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 (see “Descrip- tion of controls” manual). Decorated items: the decorated objects available on the market are gener- ally able to withstand washing in the dishwasher, although the colors may fade after a great many washes. If in doubt as to the fastness of the col- ors, it is advisable to wash just a few items at a time for approximately one month. Rev 0.0 23

The dishwasher has a capacity of 12 place-settings, including serving dish- es. Examples of loading 12 place-settings in the upper rack (see fig. 4-07) and in the lower rack (see fig. 4-08) are shown below. CRY MTS HA) Fig. 4-07 Fig. 4-08 24 Rev 0.0

The lower rack receives the full force of the lower spray arm, and should there- fore 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. To make the most of the space inside the rack when loading large items, cer- tain models are equipped with tip-up supports for plates in 2 or 4 sections (see fig. 4-09). With fixed supports With tip-up supports Fig. 4-09 Rev 0.0 25

USER INSTRUCTIONS Loading the lower rack (see fig. 4-10) Carefully load flat plates, soup plates, dessert and serving dishes, position- ing them vertically. Pots, pans and their covers must be loaded upside down. When loading soup plates and dessert bowis, be sure to leave a gap between them. Loading examples: 1/2 load {certain models only) Fig. 4-10 26 Rev 0.0

The cutlery basket can be removed to simplify unloading. Arrange the cutlery in an orderly manner inside the basket, with the handles pointing downwards and taking care not to injure yourself with the knife blades. The basket is suitable for all types of cutlery, except those long enough to interfere with the upper spray arm. Place long items (ladles, wooden spoons and cooking knives) that may inter- fere with the spray arm in the upper rack making sure that knife tips do not protrude. The dishwasher is complete with two cutlery baskets, which means that one of them can be removed, freeing space in the bottom rack, if there is not much cutlery to be washed, or if a 2 load program is being used (on models with this function). The baskets feature an exclusive system of independent sliding tip-up sup- ports, offering a choice of combinations to allow optimum use of the space available.
