Installation
Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for future reference. If the appliance is sold, given away or moved, please ensure the manual is kept with the machine, so that the new owner may benefit from the advice contained within it. Please read this instruction manual carefully: it contains important information regarding the safe installation, use and maintenance of the appliance. If the appliance must be moved at any time, keep it in an upright position; if absolutely necessary, it may be tilted onto its back.
Connecting the water inlet hose
To a suitable cold water connection point: before attaching the hose, run the water until it is perfectly clear so that any impurities that may be present in the water do not clog the appliance; after performing this operation, screw the inlet hose tightly onto a tap with a gas threaded connection. To a suitable hot water connection point: your dishwasher may be supplied with hot water from the mains supply (if you have a central heating system with radiators) provided that it does not exceed a temperature of 60C. Screw the hose to the tap as described for connection to a cold water supply. If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialist store or an authorised technician (see Assistance). The water pressure must be within the values indicated in the Technical data table (see adjacent information). The hose should not be bent or compressed.
Positioning and levelling
1. Remove the appliance from all packaging and check that it has not been damaged during transportation. If it has been damaged, contact the retailer and do not proceed any further with the installation process. 2. Check the dishwasher by placing it so that its sides or back panel are in contact with the adjacent cabinets or even with the wall. This appliance can also be recessed under a single worktop* (see the Assembly instruction sheet). 3. Position the dishwasher on a level and sturdy floor. If the floor is uneven, the front feet of the appliance may be adjusted until it reaches a horizontal position. If the appliance is levelled correctly, it will be more stable and much less likely to move or cause vibrations and noise while it is operating. 4. Adjust the height of the rear foot from the front of the appliance* on the central lower part of the dishwasher, turning a hexagonal spanner (red color) with an opening of 8 mm in a clockwise direction to increase the height or in an anticlockwise direction to decrease the height.

Connecting the water and electricity supplies
Connection to the water and electricity supplies should only be performed by a qualified technician. The dishwasher should not stand on top of the water hoses or the electricity supply cable. The appliance must be connected to the water supply network using new hoses. Do not use old hoses. The water inlet (A) and outlet (B) hoses and the electricity supply cable may be positioned towards the right or the left in order to achieve the best possible installation (see figure).

Anti-flooding protection

To ensure floods do not occur, the dishwasher: - is provided with a special system which blocks the water supply in the event of anomalies or leaks from inside the appliance. Some models are also equipped with the supplementary safety device New Acqua Stop*, which guarantees antiflooding protection even in the event of a supply hose rupture.
WARNING: HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE!
Under no circumstance should the water inlet hose be cut as it contains live electrical parts.
Only available in selected models.
Connecting the water outlet hose
Connect the outlet hose (without bending it) to a drain duct with a minimum diameter of 4 cm. Alternatively, rest it over a sink or tub; the free end of the hose should not remain immersed in water.

Anti-condensation strip*

After installing the dishwasher, open the door and stick the adhesive transparent strip under the wooden shelf in order to protect it from any condensation which may form.

(see figure).

The special plastic elbow* makes it easier to find the best layout: fix the elbow to the wall securely in order to prevent the outlet hose from moving and spilling the dirty water. The part of the hose marked with the letter A should be between 40 and 100 cm above the ground
Advice regarding the first wash cycle
After the appliance has been installed, immediately before running the first wash cycle, completely fill the salt dispenser with water and add only then approximately 1 kg of salt (see chapter entitled Rinse aid and refined salt). The water may overflow: this is normal and is not a cause for concern. Select the water hardness value (see chapter entitled Rinse aid and refined salt). - After the salt has been poured into the machine, the LOW SALT indicator light* switches off. If the salt container is not filled, the water softener and the heating element may be damaged as a result.
We advise against the use of hose extensions.

Electrical connection

Before inserting the plug into the electrical socket, make sure that: The socket is earthed and complies with current regulations. The socket can withstand the maximum load of the appliance, which is indicated on the data plate located on the inside of the door (see chapter entitled Description of the appliance). The power supply voltage falls within the values indicated on the data plate on the inside of the door. The socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance. If this is not the case, ask an authorised technician to replace the plug (see Assistance); do not use extension cables or multiple sockets. Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply cable and the electrical socket should be easily accessible. The cable should not be bent or compressed. If the power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its Technical Assistance Service in order to prevent all potential hazards. (See Assistance) The Company shall not be held responsible for any incidents that occur if these regulations are not observed.

Loading the racks

Before loading the racks, remove all food residues from the crockery and empty liquids from glasses and cups. After loading the appliance, check that the sprayer arms can rotate freely.
Adjusting the height of the upper rack
In order to make it easier to arrange the crockery, the upper rack may be moved to a higher or lower level. The height of the upper rack should ideally be adjusted WHEN THE RACK IS EMPTY. Never lift or lower the rack on one side only. Open the left and right guide rail stops and pull out the rack; position it higher or lower as required, slide it along the guide rails until the front wheels are in place and close the stops (see figure). If the rack is fitted with Dual Space handles* (see figure), pull out the upper rack until it reaches its stop point, grip the handles at the sides of the rack and move it upwards or downwards, then slowly let it fall back into place.

Lower rack

The lower rack can hold pans, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery, etc. as seen in the Loading examples. Plates and large covers should be placed at the sides of the rack, ensuring that they do not block the rotation of the upper sprayer arm. Some dishwasher models are fitted with tip-up sections*, which can be used in a vertical position when arranging plates or in a horizontal position when arranging pans and salad bowls.

Cutlery basket

The type of cutlery basket may vary according to the dishwasher model: it may be modular, non-modular or a sliding version. The non-modular basket must only be positioned at the front of the lower rack. The modular basket may be separated into two parts, a solution which is recommended when performing a half load wash (only in models offering this option), is available in a sliding version (positioned at any point on the lower rack by sliding it between the fixed or tip-up inserts. - Both versions are fitted with a collapsible sliding system which means the cutlery can be arranged in the best possible way. Knives and other utensils with sharp edges must be placed in the cutlery basket with the points facing downwards, or they must be positioned horizontally in the tipup compartments on the upper rack.

Start-up and use

Starting the dishwasher
1. Turn the water tap on. 2. Open the door and press the ON/OFF button: you will hear a short beep and the ON/OFF and wash cycle indicator lights switch on for a few seconds. 3. Measure out the detergent (see below). 4. Load the racks (see chapter entitled Loading the racks). 5. Select the wash cycle in accordance with the type of crockery and its soil level (see Table of wash cycles), by pressing the SELECT WASH CYCLE button; the indicator light corresponding to the selected wash cycle will switch on. 7. Start the wash cycle by shutting the door: after a few seconds have passed, a long beep signals the start of the wash cycle. 8. Two short beeps and one long one indicate the end of the wash cycle and the indicator light corresponding to the wash cycle flashes slowly. Open the door, switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button, shut off the water tap and unplug the appliance from the electricity socket. 9. Wait for a few minutes before removing the crockery, in order to avoid burns. Unload the racks, beginning with the lower level. The order in which the different wash programmes are displayed will change according to the frequency with which each cycle is used.

Measuring out the detergent
A good wash result also depends on the correct amount of detergent being used; exceeding the stated amount does not result in a more effective wash and increases environmental pollution. Only use detergent which has been specifically designed for dishwashers. DO NOT USE washing up liquid. Using excessive detergent may result in foam residue remaining in the machine after the cycle has ended. The use of tablets is only recommended for models which offer the MULTI-FUNCTIONAL TABLETS option. To achieve the best results from each washing and drying cycle, powder detergent, rinse aid liquid and salt should be used.
Compartment A: Washing detergent Compartment B: Pre-wash detergent 1. Open cover C by pressing button D. 2. Pour in the detergent after consulting the Table of wash cycles: For powder detergent use compartments A and B. For detergent in tablet form: when the cycle requires 1 tablet, place it in compartment A and close the cover; when it requires 2, place the second tablet at the bottom of the appliance. 3. Remove detergent residues from the edges of the compartment and close the cover until it clicks.
Modifying a wash cycle in progress
If a mistake was made during the wash cycle selection process it is possible to change the cycle, provided that it has only just begun: open the door, taking care to avoid the escaping steam, and press and hold the ON/OFF button; the machine will switch off with a long beep. Switch the machine back on using the ON/OFF button and select the new wash cycle using the SELECT WASH CYCLE button; start the cycle by closing the door.

Adding extra crockery

Without switching off the machine, open the door, taking care to avoid the escaping steam, and place the crockery inside the dishwasher. Close the door: the cycle starts from the point at which it was interrupted.

Accidental interruptions

If the door is opened during the wash cycle, or if there is a power cut, the cycle stops. It starts again from the point at which it was interrupted once the door has been shut or the electricity supply is restored.

Wash cycles

If the crockery is only lightly soiled or if it has been rinsed with water before being placed in the dishwasher, reduce the amount of detergent used accordingly. The number and type of wash cycles and options may vary depending on the dishwasher model.

Notes: Optimum performance levels when using the "Quick wash" cycle can be achieved by observing the maximum amounts of crockery specified. * The Eco wash cycle adheres to the regulation EN-50242. Although it has a longer duration than other wash cycles it uses less energy and is les harmful to the environment. Note for Test Laboratories: for detailed information relating to comparative EN testing conditions, please send an email to the following address: ASSISTENZA_EN_LVS@indesitcompany.com To make it easier to measure out the detergent, it is worth remembering that: 1 tablespoon = 15 gr. of powder = approximately 15 ml of liquid - 1 teaspoon = 5 gr. of powder = approximately 5 ml of liquid 8
Rinse aid and refined salt
Only use products which have been specifically designed for dishwashers. Do not use table salt or industrial salt, or washing up liquid. Follow the instructions given on the packaging.
If using a multi-functional product it is not necessary to add rinse aid; however, we recommend that you add salt, especially if you live in an area where the water is hard or very hard. Follow the instructions given on the packaging. number 3). E.g. Hardness level 1 (1st cycle indicator light flashing) Hardness level 2 (1st cycle indicator light ON, 2nd cycle indicator light flashing) Hardness level 3 (1st and 2nd cycle indicator lights ON, 3rd cycle indicator light flashing etc) up to maximum 5 levels. - Press the P button repeatedly until the desired hardness level has been reached (1-2-3-4-5* see Water hardness table). - To exit the function, wait approximately 30 seconds or switch off the machine using the ON/OFF button. Even if using multi-functional tablets, the salt dispenser should still be filled.

If you do not add salt or rinse aid, the LOW SALT* and LOW RINSE AID* indicator lights remain lit.
Rinse aid makes it easier for the crockery to dry, as water runs off surfaces more readily and therefore does not leave streaks or marks. The rinse aid dispenser should be filled: When the LOW RINSE AID* indicator light on the control panel is illuminated; 1. Open the dispenser by turning the lid (G) in an anticlockwise direction. 2. Pour in the rinse aid, making sure it does not overflow from the F dispenser. If this happens, clean the spill immediately with a dry G cloth. 3. Screw the lid back on. NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the appliance tub.

Measuring out the refined salt
Adjusting the amount of rinse aid
If you are not completely satisfied with the drying results, you may adjust the quantity of rinse aid used. Use a screwdriver to turn the dosage adjuster (F) to one of the 6 pre-set positions (the default position is set to 4): If there are streaks on the crockery, set the adjustment device to a lower number (1-3). If drops of water remain on the crockery or if there are limescale marks present after the cycle has finished, set the adjuster to a higher number (4-6).
Setting the water hardness
Every dishwasher is equipped with a water softener which, by using refined salt designed especially for this type of appliance, supplies water without limescale which is then used to wash the crockery. This dishwasher offers a setting which helps to reduce pollution and optimises washing performance in accordance with the water hardness level in your area. This information can be obtained from the organisation which supplies your household with water. - Open the door and switch on the machine by pressing the ON/OFF button. - Press the P button and hold for approximately 5 seconds; two short beeps will sound and the indicator light corresponding to the set degree of hardness will flash slowly on the control panel (the water softening system is set to
In order to achieve the best possible results using a wash cycle, make sure that the dispenser is never empty. Refined salt removes limescale from the water, thus avoiding the formation of deposits on crockery. The salt dispenser is located in the lower part of the dishwasher (see Description) and should be filled: When the green float* cannot be seen by simply looking at the cap of the salt dispenser. When the LOW SALT* indicator light on the control panel is illuminated; 1. Remove the lower rack and unscrew the container cap (anticlockwise). 2. The first time you do this: fill the water tank right up to its edge. 3. Position the funnel* (see figure) and fill the salt container right up to its edge (this should hold approximately 1 kg); it is not unusual for a little water to leak out. 4. Remove the funnel* and wipe any salt residue away from the opening; rinse the cap under running water and then screw it on, the head facing downwards so as to let the water flow out of the four cracks which are arranged in a star shape on the lower part of the cap. (Salt cap with green float*) It is advisable to perform this procedure every time you add salt to the container. Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly, so that no detergent can get into the container during the wash cycle (this could damage the water softener beyond repair). When necessary, measure out the salt before a wash cycle so that any saline solution which has leaked out of the salt dispenser is removed. * Only available in selected models.

Care and maintenance

Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle to avoid leaks. Always unplug the appliance when cleaning it and when performing maintenance work. The external surfaces of the machine and the control panel may be cleaned using a non-abrasive cloth which has been dampened with water. Do not use solvents or abrasive products. Any marks on the inside of the appliance may be removed using a cloth dampened with water and a little vinegar.
Shutting off the water and electricity supplies
Clean the water inlet filter at the tap outlet regularly. - Turn off the water tap. - Unscrew the end of the water inlet hose, remove the filter and clean it carefully under running water. - Replace the filter and screw the water hose back into position.

Cleaning the dishwasher

Cleaning the filters
The filter assembly consists of three filters which remove food residues from the washing water and then recirculate the water. They should be cleaned if you wish to achieve the best results in every wash. Clean the filters regularly. The dishwasher should not be used without filters, or if the filter is loose. After several washes, check the filter assembly and if necessary clean it thoroughly under running water, using a non-metallic brush and following the instructions below: 1. Turn the cylindrical filter C in an anti-clockwise direction and pull it out (fig. 1). 2. Remove the cup filter B by exerting a slight pressure on the side flaps (fig. 2). 3. Slide out the stainless steel plate filter A (fig. 3). 4. Inspect the trap and remove any food residue. NEVER REMOVE the wash cycle pump (black detail) (fig. 4).
Always keep the door of the appliance ajar in order to avoid moisture from forming and being trapped inside the machine. Clean the seals around the door and detergent dispensers regularly using a damp sponge. This will avoid food becoming trapped in the seals, which is the main cause behind the formation of unpleasant odours.
Preventing unpleasant odours
Food residue may become encrusted onto the sprayer arms and block the holes used to spray the water. It is therefore recommended that the arms are checked from time to time and cleaned with a small non-metallic brush. The two sprayer arms may both be removed. To remove the upper sprayer arm, rotate the locking ring in an anti-clockwise direction. The upper sprayer arm should be replaced with the holes facing upwards. The lower sprayer arm can be removed by pressing on the side tabs and pulling it upwards.

Cleaning the sprayer arms
After cleaning the filters, replace the filter assembly and fix it in position correctly; this is essential for maintaining the efficient operation of the dishwasher.
Leaving the machine unused for extended periods
If the water hoses are new or have not been used for an extended period of time, let the water run to make sure it is clear and free of impurities before performing the necessary connections. If this precaution is not taken, the water inlet could become blocked and damage the dishwasher.
Cleaning the water inlet filter*
Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply and shut off the water tap. Leave the door of the appliance ajar.
When you return, run a wash cycle when the dishwasher is empty.

Precautions and advice

This appliance was designed and manufactured in compliance with current international safety standards. The following information has been provided for safety reasons and should therefore be read carefully.
Saving energy and respecting the environment

Saving water and energy

Only begin a wash cycle when the dishwasher is full. While waiting for the dishwasher to be filled, prevent unpleasant odours using the Soak cycle (see Wash cycles). Select a wash cycle which is suited to the type of crockery and to the soil level of the crockery using the Table of wash cycles: - For dishes with a normal soil level, use the Eco wash cycle, which guarantees low energy and water consumption levels. - If the load is smaller than usual activate the Half load option* (see Start-up and use). If your electricity supply contract gives details of electricity saving time bands, run wash cycles during the periods when a lower tariff is applied. The Delayed start* button (see Start-up and use) helps you organise the wash cycles accordingly.

General safety

The appliance was designed for domestic use inside the home and is not intended for commercial or industrial use. The appliance must be used by adults only, to wash domestic crockery in accordance with the instructions in this manual. The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even in covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the machine exposed to rain and storms. Do not touch the appliance when barefoot. When unplugging the appliance always pull the plug from the mains socket, do not pull on the cable. The water supply tap must be shut off and the plug should be removed from the electrical socket before cleaning the appliance or carrying out any maintenance work. If the appliance breaks down, do not under any circumstances touch the internal parts in an attempt to perform the repair work yourself. Never touch the heating element. Do not lean or sit on the open door of the appliance: this may cause the appliance to overturn. The door should not be left open as it may create a dangerous obstacle. Keep detergent and rinse aid out of reach of children. The packaging material should not be used as a toy.

Phosphate-free and chlorine-free detergents containing enzymes
We strongly recommend that you use detergents that do not contain phosphates or chlorine, as these products are harmful to the environment. Enzymes provide a particularly effective action at temperatures around 50C, and as a result detergents containing enzymes can be used in conjunction with low-temperature wash cycles in order to achieve the same results as a normal 65C wash cycle. To avoid wasting detergent, use the product in appropriate quantities based on the manufacturers recommendations, the hardness of the water and the soil level and quantity of crockery to be washed. Even if they are biodegradable, detergents contain substances which may alter the balance of nature.

Disposal

Disposal of packaging materials: observe local legislation so that the packaging may be reused. The European Directive 2002/96/EC relating to Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states that household appliances should not be disposed of using the normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted appliances should be collected separately in order to optimise the cost of re-using and recycling the materials inside the machine, while preventing potential damage to the atmosphere and to public health. The crossed-out dustbin is marked on all products to remind the owner of their obligations regarding separated waste collection. For further information relating to the correct disposal of household appliances, owners may contact the relevant public authority or the local appliance dealer.

Salt The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard water is used in the dishwasher, deposits will form on the dishes and utensils. The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses a salt specifically designed to eliminate lime and minerals from the water. Loading the Salt into the Softener Always use salt intended for use with dishwashers. The salt container is located beneath the lower rack and should be filled as follows: 1. Remove the lower rack and then unscrew and remove the cap from the salt container; 2. If you are filling the container for the first time, fill it with water; 3. Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and introduce about 2 kg of salt. It is normal for a small amount of water to come out of the salt container. 4. Carefully screw the cap back on. The salt container should be filled up when the low salt indicator light "S" flashes. Once you have loaded the salt for the first time, it is normal that the low salt indicator light stays on or flashes for about 5 consecutive cycles. Warning: To prevent rust from forming, we advise you to load the salt before starting a wash cycle. Adjusting Salt Consumption The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjusting the amount of salt consumed based on the harness of the water used. This is intended to optimize and customize the level of salt consumption so that it remains at a minimum. Your Local Water Board can supply the degree of hardness of the water in your area. To adjust salt consumption, proceed as follows: 1) Unscrew the cap from the salt container. 2) There is a ring on the container with an arrow on it (see figure to the side), if necessary, rotate the ring in the anticlockwise direction from the "_" setting towards the "+" sign, based on the hardness of the water being used. It is recommended that adjustments be made in accordance with the following schema:

Detergent and Rinse Aid.

Detergent Detergent specifically intended for use with dishwashers must be used. The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle following the instructions provided in the "Wash Cycle Table." The detergent dispenser is located on the inside panel of the door. Loading the detergent To open lid "A", press button "B". The cleaning detergent should be introduced into the two containers "C"and "D" up to the rim. After pouring in the detergent, replace the lid, pressing down until it clicks. Dishwasher detergent in tablets is now available on the market, in which case you should place one tablet into container "D" and replace the lid. Rinse Aid This product makes dishes sparkle more as it improves their drying. The rinse aid container is situated on the inside of the appliance door; you should refill it when the low rinse aid indicator light "T" flashes. Loading the Rinse Aid To open the dispenser, turn the "C" cap in the anti-clockwise direction and then pour in the rinse aid, making sure not to overfill. The amount of rinse aid used for each cycle can be regulated by turning the "F" dose adjustor, located beneath the "C" cap, with a screwdriver. There are 6 different settings; the normal dosage setting is 4.

25 gr. 5 gr.

Important: Proper dosage of the rinse aid improves drying. If drops of water remain on the dishes or spotting occurs, the dosage adjustor should be turned to a higher setting. If the dishes have white streaks, turn the dosage adjustor to a lower setting.
Notice: To facilitate closing the cover, remove any excess detergent on the edges of the dispenser.
Warning Three-in-one dishwasher tablets are now available on the market, and combine the detergent, salt and rinse aid all in one. If the water in your area is hard or very hard, we still recommend you pour extra salt into the relevant dispenser to prevent the formation of white streaks on your dishes or on the appliance interior. Add rinse aid to the corresponding container only if you are dissatisfied with the results on your dishes. In any case, please read the manufacturer's instructions provided on the packet. If you use only these products, it is normal for the salt and rinse aid indicator lights to flash permanently after a certain number of cycles.

Loading the Dishwasher

Before placing the dishes in the racks, remove the largest scraps of food left over on your plates, you will thus avoid blocking the filter, which would reduce the efficacy of the wash. If the saucepans and frying pans are very dirty, allow them to soak before being washed. You will thus avoid having to wash them again. To make it easier to load your dishes, pull the racks out fully. How to use the lower rack We recommend you place the most difficult dishes to wash into the lower rack: saucepans, lids, soup dishes and plates (load examples are shown in the photo). Serving dishes and large lids: place them on the sides of the rack. Saucepans, salad bowls: must always be placed upside down. Very deep dishes: place them obliquely, thus allowing water to run down them and cleaning them better. The cutlery basket (Figures A,B) The cutlery basket can be split up by pulling out the handle and removing the clip that fig. A keeps the two parts joined together (see figures A and B). When you only have little cutlery to wash, you can use just half the basket. This basket is equipped with two removable grids: insert the cutlery one by one into the slots, with the handles at the bottom. Position them so that they don't touch. How to use the upper rack Place delicate and lightweight dishes in the upper rack: glasses, tea cups and coffee cups, saucers - but plates too - shallow salad bowls, slightly dirty frying pans and shallow pans (the photo illustrates a few examples). Position lightweight dishes in such as way as to avoid their being moved by the spray of water. The upper rack can be equipped with one or two special tip-up compartments for mugs and cups, as well as spoons, knives and forks, which should be fitted in the slots provided. Stemmed glasses can be hooked onto these compartments by threading the stems into the slots provided (see fig. D). After loading the dishes, remember to check that the blades on the sprayer arms can turn freely without knocking against any dishes. How to adjust the upper rack. The upper rack can be set in a high or low position. There are two handles on the sides of the upper rack: use these to adjust its height (see figure C). Load examples upper rack lower rack

Select the desired wash cycle by turning knob "D" clockwise from wash cycle 1 to 7 and anticlockwise from 7 to 1; the display indicates the average duration of the wash cycle and the cycle phases it consists of (consult the wash cycle table contained on page 7, especially when first using the appliance). Press the Start button "R" and the wash cycle starts up, emitting a double beep; the approximate amount of time left until the end of the wash cycle is displayed. If the time indicated at the start of the wash cycle does not correspond to the actual duration of the cycle itself, this could be for a number of reasons: the temperature of the inlet water, the degree of soil, prolonged attempts by the appliance to clean the wash filter from food residue clogging it, etc. Cycle phase under way indicator While the wash cycle is under way, the symbols corresponding to the cycle phases light up in sequence. Here are the symbols corresponding to each cycle phase: You've left out a dish? You can interrupt a wash cycle by pressing the "ON-OFF" button, then place the forgotten dishes into the appliance, which will start up, after approximately 10 seconds, from where it was interrupted when you turn it back on. There's been a power failure? Has the dishwasher door been opened? The wash cycle stops and 3 dashes appear on the display; the cycle restarts as soon as the electricity comes back on or when the door is shut. At the end of the wash cycle The end of the wash cycle is indicated by two short beeps and the word "END" flashes on the display. Turn the appliance off at the ON-OFF button Turn off the water tap. Empty the lower rack first. Make sure the wash cycle has ended before removing the dishes! Warning: when you open the dishwasher door after the wash cycle has just ended or is under way, take care not to scald yourself with the hot steam.

How to set the extra drying

Keep the Reset button "R" pressed for about 3 seconds: a prolonged beep will sound, followed by three short beeps. The cancelled cycle time will flash on the display. Turn the knob to select a new wash cycle.
Setting a half load and a delayed start
How to set a delayed start When you have loaded the dishes, you can choose when to start your dishwasher before setting the wash cycle desired. Press button "P" repeatedly to postpone the start of the wash cycle from 1 hour to 24h. If you press the button again, the word "OFF" is displayed (no selection made). Once you have made your selection, make sure the appliance door is shut and start the wash cycle by pressing the START button. Symbol "I" lights up on the display and the countdown begins. Once the countdown is up, the wash cycle begins and the approximate amount of time left until the end of the wash cycle is displayed. Have you changed your mind? If you change your mind, you can set a shorter time delay: press button "D" to select it. You need not reset the wash cycle. If you have changed your mind and wish to start the wash cycle immediately, press button "P" until the countdown is fully reset. Indicator light "I" will turn off and the cycle will start at the sound of a beep. The indicator light corresponding to the cycle phase under way will come up on the display and the countdown to the estimated cycle end begins. You want to wash on one rack only? Remember to use half the amount of detergent. When you only have little cutlery to wash, you can run just half a load on the upper rack, saving on both water and electricity. Press button "F"; you will hear a beep and the symbol corresponding to the half load will light up. Once you have made your setting, start the wash cycle by pressing the START button. - This option is available with all wash cycles. - The Just You wash cycle is programmed to wash on the upper rack only.
Warning: if the display indicates the word "dON" when you turn your dishwasher on, this means the demo mode is in operation. This mode is useful for exhibitors in that it simulates the wash cycles without actually carrying them out. To quit this mode, keep the START/RESET button "R" pressed for approximately 4 seconds. The word "dOF" will be displayed once you have quit the demo mode successfully.

Energy Saving Tips
- It is important to try and run the dishwasher when it is fully loaded in order to save on energy. In order to prevent odors from forming and food from caking onto the dishes, you can run the hold cycle. - Choose the right wash cycle: the choice of cycle depends on the type of dishware, cookware and utensils being washed and how dirty they are. - Use the right amount of detergent: if you use too much detergent, the result will not be cleaner dishes, but, rather, a greater negative impact on the environment. - There is no utility in rinsing dishes, cookware and utensils before placing them in the dishwasher.
How to Keep Your Dishwasher in Shape
After Every Wash After every wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance and leave the door slightly ajar so that moisture and odors are not trapped inside. Remove the Plug Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the plug from the socket. Do not run risks. No Solvents or Abrasive Cleaning Products To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. Rather, use only a cloth and warm soapy water. To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use a cloth dampened with water and a little white vinegar, or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers. When You Go on Holiday When you go on holiday, it is recommended that you run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and then remove the plug from the socket, turn off the water supply and leave the door of the appliance slightly ajar. This will help the seals last longer and prevent odors from forming within the appliance. Moving the Appliance If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in the vertical position. If absolutely necessary, it can be positioned on its back. Seals One of the factors that cause odors to form in the dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this from occuring.

Cleaning and Special Maintenance
The filter assembly If you want consistent good results from your dishwasher, you need to clean the filter assembly. The food particles are removed from the wash water, allowing it to be recirculated during the cycle, filtered perfectly. For this reason, it is a good idea to remove the larger food particles trapped inside the semi-circular filter A and D cup Cafter each wash; to C remove the filter assembly, pull the cup handle upwards. All you need to do is rinse them under running water. The entire filter assembly B should be cleaned A thoroughly once a month: semi-circular filter A + cup C + cylindrical filter B+ microfilter D. To remove filter B, turn it anti-clockwise. Use a small non-metallic brush for cleaning. Reassemble the filter parts (as shown in the figure) and reinsert the whole assembly into the dishwasher. Position it into its housing and press downwards. The dishwasher is not to be used without filters. Improper replacement of the filters may reduce the efficiency of the wash and even damage your dishwasher.

1 B 2 A

Cleaning the Sprayer Arms It may happen that food particle become encrusted on the sprayer arms and block the holes (see "Close up view (interior)", letters F-I). Check the sprayer arms periodically and clean them when needed. Cleaning the Water Inlet Filter Periodically clean the water inlet filter (see figure 2 under "Installation") located on the outlet of the water supply tap. After turning off the water tap, unscrew the end of the water supply hose, remove the filter and clean it carefully under running water. Then, return the filter to its place and tighten the water supply hose back into position.

Troubleshooting

It may occur that the dishwasher does not function or does not function properly. Before calling for assistance, let us see what can be done first: have you forgot to press one of the buttons or to perform an essential operation? The Dishwasher Does Not Start Have you checked whether: - the plug is pushed into the socket correctly; - the power is on in the house; - the door is closed properly; - the ON-OFF switch is on "ON"; - the water supply is turned on. The Dishwasher Does Not Load Water Have you checked whether: - the water is turned on and the hose is connected properly; - the water supply to the house is on and has sufficient pressure; - the water supply hose is crimped or bent; - the filter for the water supply hose is clogged. The Dishes Are Not Clean Have you put the right amount of detergent into the dispenser? Is the wash cycle suitable for the dishes you have placed inside the appliance? Are the filter and microfilter clean? Can the sprayer arms turn freely? The Dishwasher Does Not Drain Have you checked whether: - the drain hose is crimped or bent. Lime Deposits or a White Film Form on the Dishes Have you checked whether: - the lid to the salt container is closed properly; - the rinse aid dosage is correct. If the display indicates the word "dON" when you turn your dishwasher on, this means the demo mode is in operation. Read the instructions on pages 7. Error messages. Your dishwasher is equipped with a safety system which is able to detect any operating anomalies. These anomalies or faults are signalled by several codes consisting of letters and numbers that flash up on the display. Make a note of the error code that appears, turn the appliance off, turn off the water tap and call for technical assistance. Tap off alarm If you have forgotten to turn on the water tap, the appliance will remind you with a series of prolonged beeps and the wording H2O will flash up on the display. Turn the tap on and the wash cycle will start up after a few minutes. If you are not there when the H2O signal appears, the appliance will switch to alarm mode and the code "A06" will flash on the display. Turn the appliance off at button "A", turn on the water tap and wait approximately 20 seconds before turning the appliance back on, the wash cycle will start up again. Clogged filter alarm If the appliance is blocked and the code "A05" is flashing, this means the filter is clogged by large particles of food residue. Turn the appliance off at the ON-OFF button, clean the filter thoroughly and reposition it in its seat, then turn the appliance back on. The wash cycle will start up as normal after a few seconds. Water load solenoid valve malfunction alarm If the code "A02" flashes, first of all turn off the water tap to avoid any flooding and then cut off the electricity supply and call for assistance. If, despite all these checks, the dishwasher still does not function and/or the problem persists, contact the nearest authorised service centre and provide them with the following information: - the nature of the problem; - the model type number (Mod.) and the serial number (S/N.), which are indicated on the plate located on the side of the inner part of the door. Never call on unauthorised technicians and refuse to allow parts to be installed that are not original spare parts.

Installation

Positioning the Appliance Position the appliance in the desired location. The back should rest against the wall behind it, and the sides, along the adjacent cabinets or wall. The dishwasher is equipped with water supply and drain hoses that can be positioned to the right or the left to facilitate proper installation. Levelling the Appliance Once the appliance is positioned, adjust the feet (screwing them in or out) to adjust the height of the dishwasher, making it level. In any case, the appliance should not be inclined more than 2. If the appliance is level, it will help ensure proper performance. This dishwasher model can be built under a single worktop (please read the relevant instruction sheet). Cold Water Connection This electric household appliance should be connected to the water mains using the cold water supply hose provided with the appliance only. Do not use a different hose. In the event of replacements, use original spare parts only. Connect the cold water supply hose to a threaded 3/4 (gas) A connector, inserting the small filter supplied with the dishwasher and making sure that it is fastened tightly in place Fig.2 (see figure 2). If the water pipes are new or have not been used for an extended period of time, let the water run to make sure that the water is clear and free of impurities. If this precaution is not taken, there is a risk that the water inlet can get blocked and damage the appliance. Hot Water Connection The water supply to the appliance can also be connected to the house's hot water line (centralised system, heating system), as long as it does not exceed a temperature of 60 C. In this case, the wash cycle time will be shortened by about 15 minutes and the wash efficiency slightly reduced. The connection must be made to the hot water line following the same procedures as those for the connection to the cold water line. Drain Hose Connection Fit the drain pipe into a drain line with a minimum diameter of 4 cm or place it over the sink. Avoid restricting or bending it. Use the special plastic elbow provided (see figure) to position it in the best possible way. The part of the pipe marked with the letter A should be between 40 and 100 cm above the ground. The pipe should not be immersed in water.
Attention: The special plastic hose support must be solidly fastened to the wall to prevent the drain hose from moving and allowing water to spill outside the drain. Electrical Connection After making sure that the voltage and frequency values for the current in the home correspond to those on the rating plate (located on the stainless steel inner door of the appliance) and that the electrical system is sized for the maximum voltage on the rating plate, insert the plug into an electrical socket which is earthed properly (the earthing of the appliance is a safety requirement mandated by law). If the electrical socket to which the appliance must be connected is not appropriate for the plug, replace the plug, rather than using adpators or the like as they could cause overheating and burns. Should the electricity supply cable be damaged, we recommend that you only contact authorised Technical Service Centres for the replacement. The plug The dishwasher plug must be accessible even when the appliance is installed as a built-in unit so that maintenance can be done safely.

Electrical Connection

Electrical Connection If your appliance is supplied with a 13 amp. fused plug it can be plugged into a 13 amp socket for immediate use. Before using the appliance please read the instruction below. WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN. Replacing the fuse: When replacing a faulty fuse, a 13 amp ASTA approved fuse to BS 1362 should always be used, and the fuse cover re-fitted. If the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a replacement is obtained. Replacemente fuse covers: If a replacement fuse cover is fitted, it must be of the correct colours as indicated by the coloured marking or the colour that is embossed in words on the base of the plug. Replacements can be obtained directly from your nearest Service Depot. Removing the plug: Ifyour appliance has a non-rewireable moulded plug and you should wish to remove it to re-route the mains cable through partitions, units etc., please esure that either: - the plug is replaced by a fused 13 amp re-wireable plug bearing the BSI mark of approval - or: - the mains cable is wired directly into a 13 amp cable outlet, controlled by a switch, (in compliance with BS 5733) which is accessible without moving the appliance. Disposing of the plug: Ensure that before disposing of the plug itself, you make the pins unusable so that it cannot be accidentally inserted into a socket. Instruction for connecting cable to an altenative plug: Important: the wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Green & Yellow - Earth Blue - Neutral Brown - Live As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminal in your plug, proceed as follows: connect Green & Yellow wire to terminal market E or coloured Green or Green & Yellow. Connect Brown wire to terminal marked L or coloured Red. Connect Blue wire to terminal marked N or coloured Black. If a 13 amp plug (BS 1363) is used it must be fitted with a 13 amp fuse. A15 amp plug must be protected by a 15 amp fuse, either in the plug or adaptor or at the distribution board. If you are in any doubt about the electrical supply to your machine, consult a qualified electrician before use.
