The programme has been cancelled and the machine is now in setting mode.

First use

Before using your dishwasher for the first time: Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply with the installation instructions Remove all packaging from inside the appliance Set the water softener Pour 1 litre of water inside the salt container and then fill with dishwasher salt Fill the rinse aid dispenser If you want to use combi detergent tablets such as: "3 in 1", "4 in 1", "5 in 1" etc. set the Multi-tab function (see "Multi-tab function").

Set 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.
Water hardness dH 51 - - - - - 28 TH 91 - - - - - 50 mmol/l 9,1 - 12,5 7,6 - 8,9 6,5 - 7,5 5,1 - 6,4 4,0 - 5,Adjusting the water hardness setting manually electronically level 10 level 9 level 8 level 7 level 6 yes yes yes yes yes Use of salt

The dishwasher is factory set at position 2. 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.

Setting electronically

The dishwasher is factory set at level 5. 1. Press the On/Off button. The dishwasher must be in setting mode. 2. Press simultaneously and keep pressed buttons B and C, until the lights of buttons A, B and C start flashing. 3. Press button A, the lights of buttons B and C turn off while the light of button A goes on flashing. In the digital display is visible the current level. Examples: displayed = level 5 displayed = level 10
Filling with dishwasher salt
4. To change the level, press button A. Each time the button is pressed the level changes. (For the selection of the new level see the chart). Examples: if the current level is 5, by pressing button A once, level 6 is selected. if the current level is 10, by pressing button A once, level 1 is selected. 5. To memorise the operation, switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off button.
WARNING! 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. Do not worry if water overflows from the unit when filling with salt, this is quite normal. 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.

Filling with rinse aid

WARNING! 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. Rinse aid ensures thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying. Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse. 1. Open the container by pressing the release button (A).
2. Add the rinse aid in the container. The maximum level for filling is indicated by "max". The dispenser holds about 110 ml of rinse aid, which is sufficient for between 16 and 40 dishwashing cycles, depending upon the dosage setting. 3. 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.
Adjusting the dosage of rinse aid
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.

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 all left over food and debris. Soften remnants of burnt food in pans
Loading cutlery and dishes 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 non stick coatings have a tendency to retain water drops; these items will not dry as well as porcelain and steel items. Light items (plastic bowls etc.) must be loaded in the upper basket and arranged so they do not move.

For glasses with long stems, fold the glass rack to the right, otherwise fold it away to the left.
The row of spikes on the left of the upper basket is also in two parts and can be folded away. Spikes not folded away: place glasses, mugs etc. in the upper basket. Spikes folded away: more room for serving dishes.
Adjusting the height of the upper basket
Maximum height of the dishes in: the upper basket With upper basket raised 22 cm 30 cm the lower basket

Use of detergent

Maximum height of the dishes in: the upper basket With upper basket lowered 24 cm 29 cm the lower basket
The height of the upper basket can also be adjusted when it is loaded. Raising / lowering the upper basket: 1. Pull out the upper basket completely. 2. Holding the upper basket by the handle, raise it as far as it will go and then lower it vertically. The upper basket will latch into the lower or the upper position. WARNING! After loading your machine always close the door, as an open door can be a hazard. Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely.
Only use detergents specifically designed for use in dishwashers. Please observe the manufacturer's dosing and storage recommendations as stated on the detergent packaging. Using no more than the correct amount of detergent contributes to reducing pollution.

Fill with detergent

1. Open the lid.
2. Fill the detergent dispenser (1) with detergent. The marking indicates the dosing levels: 20 = approximately 20 g of detergent 30 = approximately 30 g of detergent. 3. All programmes with prewash need an additional detergent dose (5/10 g) that must be placed in the prewash detergent chamber (2). This detergent will take effect during the prewash phase. 4. When using detergent tablets, place the tablet in compartment (1) 5. Close the lid and press until it locks in place. 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.

Multi-tab function

This appliance is equipped with the "Multi-Tab function", that allows the use of the "Multi-Tab" combi detergent tablets. These products are detergents with a combined cleaning, rinsing and salt functions. They can also contain other different agents depending on which kind of tablets you choose ("3 in 1", "4 in 1", "5 in 1" etc.). Check whether these detergents are suitable for your water hardness. See the manufacturers instructions. This function can be selected with all washing programmes. With the selection of this function the inflow of rinse aid and salt from each respective supply container is automatically deactivated and also the indicator lights for salt and rinse aid are deactivated. Select the "Multi-Tab function " before the start of a washing programme. Once this function is selected (indicator light illuminated) it will remain active also for the following washing programmes. With the use of the "Multi-Tab function", the cycle durations may change. In this case, in the digital display, the indication of the running time of the programme is automatically updated. Once the programme is running, the "Multi-Tab function " can NO longer be changed. If you want to exclude the "Multi-Tab function " you have to cancel the programme setting and then deactivate the "Multi-Tab function ". In this case you have to set a washing programme (and desired options) again.

Cleaning the spray arms

NEVER try to remove the spray arms. If residues of soil have clogged the holes in the spray arms, remove them with a cocktail stick.

External 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.).

Internal cleaning

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 the wash programme for heavy soiled dishes using detergent but without dishes.

Something not working

Prolonged periods of non-operation
If you are not using the machine for any prolonged 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 0C. 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.

Installation instructions Installation
WARNING! 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.
Fitting under a counter (kitchen worktop or sink)
By removing the machine's worktop, you can install it under a close fitting sink unit or a pre-existing top, providing the dimensions of the recess correspond to those shown in the picture. Proceed as follows: 1. Remove the machine's worktop by unscrewing the two rear retaining screws, pull the worktop from the back of the machine and slide out the front slots, lifting the worktop. 2. Insert the machine after adjusting the levelling with the adjustable feet.

Installation When inserting the machine, ensure that the water inlet and drain hoses are not kinked or squashed. During all operations that involve accessibility to internal components the dishwasher has to be unplugged. Be sure that once the appliance has been installed, it is easily accessible for the service engineer in the event that a repair is required. If the dishwasher is later used as a free-standing appliance, the original worktop must be re-mounted. The plinth on free-standing appliances is not adjustable.

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.

Water supply connections

Connection to a cold water supply is advised. If connection is made to a hot water supply the maximum permissible temperature is 60C. 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" gas thread spout or to a purpose made quickcoupling 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 connection hoses which have previously been used for an old appliance. This appliance has been fitted with safety features which will prevent the water used in the appliance from returning back into the drinking water system. This appliance complies with the applicable plumbing regulations.

Water inlet hose with safety valve
After connecting the double-walled water inlet hose, the safety valve is next to the tap. Therefore the water inlet hose is only under pressure while the water is running. If the water inlet hose starts to leak during this operation, the safety valve cuts off the running water. Please take care when installing the water inlet hose: The electrical cable for the safety valve is in the double-walled water inlet hose. Do not immerse the water inlet hose or the safety valve in water. If water inlet hose or the safety valve is damaged, remove the mains plug immediately. A water inlet hose with safety valve must only be replaced by a specialist or by the Service Force Centre. Place the water inlet hose in such a way that it is never higher than the bottom edge of the safety valve. WARNING! Warning! Dangerous voltage.
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. To a stand pipe provided with vent-hole, minimum internal diameter 4 cm. The waste connection must be at a height of between 40 cm (minimum) and 85 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. 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. When connecting the drain hose to an under sink trap spigot, the entire plastic membrane (A) must be removed. Failure to remove all the membrane will result in food particles building up over time eventually blocking the dishwasher drain hose spigot. 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 therefore advise you to remove it.

Environment concerns

Electrical connection
WARNING! Safety standards require the appliance to be earthed. Prior to using the appliance for the first time, ensure that the rated voltage and type of supply on the rating plate match that of the supply where the appliance is to be installed. The fuse rating is also to be found on the rating plate. Always plug the mains plug into a correctly installed shockproof socket. Multi-way plugs, connectors and extension cables must not be used. This could constitute a fire hazard through overheating. If necessary, have the domestic wiring system socket replaced. In case that the electrical cable has to be replaced, contact your local Service Force centre. The plug must be accessible after the appliance has been installed. Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the cable. Always pull the plug. The manufacturer accepts no liability for failure to observe the above safety precautions.
