Installation Daily use

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. This appliance is be designed for domestic use only. The dishwasher is designed for normal kitchen utensils. Objects that have been contamined 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.

Electrical connection

Plug your dishwasher into the power socket. If the plug we supply does not fit : CUT IT OFF AND DESTROY IT! You can't use it on other appliances, and the exposed wires could be dangerous if anyone plugged it in. Fit a suitable plug, as follows:

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). Do not let children (or others incapable of operating it) use the machine without supervision. 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! 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. Manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage due to non-earthing of the machine. This appliance complies with Directives 89/336/EEC, 73/23/EEC and following changes.

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.

Water connection

IMPORTANT The appliance must be connected to the water mains using new hose-sets. The old hose-sets should not be reused.
Connecting the outlet hose
The outlet hose should disharge 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. 4X). If necessary the outlet hose can be extended up to 2,5 m, 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.
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 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, the inlet pipe can be lengthened up to 2,5 m. 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.

INSTALLATION IN FITTED KITCHENS
Fitting between existing cabinets
The height of the dishwasher, 85 cm, has been designed in order to allow the machine to be fitted between existing cabinets of the same height in modern fitted kitchens. The feet can be adjusted so that correct height is reached. The laminated top of the machine does not require any particular care since it is heatproof, scratchproof and stainproof (fig. 5). The work top can be easily adjusted to line it with the top of existing cabinets; this is done by moving it by 5 mm each time up to a maximum of 25 mm. To adjust it, unscrew the two screws at the back and fix the top in the position required (fig. 6).
Underneath existing work top
(when fitting beneath a work top) In most modern fitted kitchens there is only one single work top under which cabinets and electrical appliances are fitted. In this case remove the work top of the dishwasher by unscrewing the screws under the rear edge of the top (fig. 6). The height will then be reduced to 82 cm, as scheduled by the International Regulations (ISO) and the dishwasher will fit perfectly under the kitchen working top (fig. 7).

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 softener unit can treat water with a hardness of up to 60fH (French grading) or 33dH (German grading) through five different settings. The degree of hardness of your water can be obtained from your water supply company.
If your water is at level 0, you need not use any regenerating salt, nor need you make any adjustment, as your water is soft. According to the degree of hardness of your water, regulate the softener unit in the following way: 1. remove the lower rack. Unscrew and remove the cap from the salt dispenser located in the bottom of the tub (fig. A"1"); 2. turn the selector screw to the required position with a screwdriver or a knife.
Regulating the water softener
The table below lists different degrees of water hardness with the corresponding setting for the softener unit.

FREE N.1 N.2 N.3 N.4

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 1.8 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. 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.
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 detailed below:

1. Turn the front stops A outwards;
2. Take out the basket and remount it in the upper position;
3. Replace the blocks A in their original position.
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.

Salt loading indicator

This model is provided with a blind cap. In this case, the salt level must be checked periodically, according to the regulation of the water softener unit.
IMPORTANT The appearance of white stains on dishes is generally an important sign that the salt container needs filling.

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 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 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 plates of the same size together in order to utilize maximum basket capacity. Plates may be loaded in a single row (fig. 1) or on both rows (fig. 2). It is advisable to load large plates (approx. 27 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.

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. 3), making sure that the cutlery does not get in the way of the rotating arms.

Filling the rinse aid container
The rinse aid, which is automatically released during the last rinsing cycle, helps the dishes to dry quickly and prevents spots and stains forming. 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.
IMPORTANT Do not use an excessive amount of detergent and help limit damage to the environment at the same time.
CAUTION! IMPORTANT NOTE ON THE USE OF COMBINED DETERGENTS
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.
If you are planning to use combined detergents i.e. those with built in salt and/or rinse agent, we would advise the following: read carefully and follow the manufacturers instructions given on the packaging; some combined detergents, particularly those with built in rinse agent, provide best results when used with specific programmes;

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.

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.

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.
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.;

DESCRIPTION OF THE CONTROL

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. Ieave the door ajar; 6. keep the inside of the machine clean; 7. If the machine is left in places where the temperature is below 0C 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.

SELECTING THE PROGRAMME AND SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
(Use in conjunction with programme guide)

Interrupting a programme

Opening the door is not recommended while a programme is running, especially during the main washing phase and final drying. However, the dishwasher will stop automatically when the door is opened. If the door is opened during a programme, the indicator light "WASHING" will start flashing, up to when you re-close the door. At this point, the programme will restart from where it had been interrupted (if it is necessary, the appliance will make a short thermal anti-shock programme before). If you wish to change or cancel the programme that is running, carry out the following: turn the programme selector to "RESET" position. The dishwasher will automatically empty the water and after a few seconds the indicator light "WASHING" will go off. A new wash setting can now be made.

Setting of new programme

Whenever you want to set a new programme, you MUST turn the programme selector to "RESET" position and wait for the "WASHING" indicator light to go off.
IMPORTANT This dishwasher is equipped with an anti-overflow safety device which will automatically empty any excess water should a problem occur.

Setting a programme

Troubleshooting
While you are setting a programme, the indicator light "WASHING" will start flashing very quickly if the electronics detect some incorrect programming function. In this case, turn the programme selector to the "RESET" position and the indicator light "WASHING" will then go off. After this you should again set the required programme. If the malfunction continues, contact the After Sales Service Centre.

WARNING! Before to set any programme, the programme selector must be in the "RESET" position and the indicator light "WASHING" must be out. Make sure that the "ON/OFF" button is pressed.
WARNING! To ensure the correct operation of the anti-overflow safety device, it is recommended not to move or to tilt the dishwasher during operation. If it is necessary to move or to tilt the dishwasher, first make sure the washing cycle is finished and that no water is left in the tank.
To set the programme, press the "ON/OFF" button: then turn the dial (in a clockwise or anti-clockwise direction) until the pointer ( ) is in line with the symbol of the required programme. After about 4 seconds, the indicator light "WASHING" will come on.
IMPORTANT While a programme is running, the programme selector will remain in the selected position, and will NOT MOVE.
WARNING! Before starting a new programme, you should check that there is still detergent in the dispenser. If necessary, top up the dispenser.
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.
Option buttons End of programme
"HALF LOAD" button By using this option, it is possible to wash a smaller quantity of crockery: you should load only the upper basket for dishes and place cutlery in the tray in the bottom basket. This reduces water and energy consumption and requires a smaller quantity of detergent.
At the end of the programme, the indicator light "WASHING" will start flashing. Turn the programme selector to "RESET" position, wait until the indicator light "WASHING" goes off and press the "ON/OFF" button.
