INSTALLATION

ATTENTION: 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 SUPPLY
Adaptation of the water supply for installation should only be performed by a qualified technician. The water inlet and outlet hoses may be positioned towards the right or the left in order to achieve the best possible installation. Make sure the dishwasher does not bend or squash the hoses.

CONNECTING THE WATER INLET HOSE

7,25 – 145 psi

• Run the water until it is perfectly clear.
• Screw the inlet hose tightly into position and turn on the tap. If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialist store or an authorized technician. The water pressure must be within the values indicated in the Technical Data table – otherwise, the dishwasher may be function properly. Make sure the hose is not bent or compressed. SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE CONNECTION OF THE WATER SUPPLY HOSE:

CONNECTING THE WATER OUTLET HOSE
Connect the outlet hose to a drain duct with a minimum diameter of 2 cm A. The outlet hose connection must be at a height ranging from 40 to 80 cm from the floor or surface where the dishwasher rests. Before connecting the water outlet hose to the sink drain, remove the plastic plug B.

ANTI-FLOODING PROTECTION
 Anti-fl ooding protection. To ensure floods do not occur, the dishwasher: – is provided with a special system that 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 Aqua Stop, which guarantees anti- flooding protection even in the event of a supply hose rupture. Under no circumstances should the water inlet hose be cut as it contains live electrical parts.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

WARNING: Under no circumstances should the water inlet hose be cut as it contains live electrical parts.

Before inserting the plug into the electrical socket, make sure that:

• The socket is earth and complies with current regulations;
• The socket can withstand the maximum load of the appliance as shown on the data plate located on the inside of the door (see PRODUCT DESCRIPTION).
• The power supply voltage falls within the values indicated on the data plate on the inside of the door.

FIRST TIME USE

After connecting the appliance to the power supply for the fi rst time, the display will guide you to set up the appliance for fi rst use.

The language selection

After language confi rmation, the appliance will go through the fi rst time use confi guration menu.

Setting the water hardness

The water hardness is by default set to level 3. To change water hardness level press button „<” or „>” repeatedly. To confi rm your choice press „SET” button. The level must be set according to the table below.

• To allow the water softener to work in a perfect way, it is essential that the water hardness setting is based on the actual water hardness in your house. This information can be obtained from your local water supplier.

Water Hardness Table

Level| German degrees °dH| French degrees °fH
1                 Soft| 0 – 6| 0 – 10
2             Medium| 7 – 11| 11 – 20
3             Average| 12 – 17| 21 – 30
4                Hard| 18 – 34| 31 – 60
5            Very hard| 35 – 50| 61 – 90

Filling the water softener

When water hardness is set, it is required to fi ll water softener with water and special regeneration salt. Remove the lower rack and unscrew the reservoir cap (anticlockwise) As a fi rst step it is needed to fi ll reservoir with water ( ~1.5 litres). Once done, proceed to the next step by pressing „SET” button.

Position the funnel (see fi gure) and fi ll the salt reservoir right up to its edge (approximately 1 kg); it is not unusual for some water will spill out. Remove the funnel and wipe any salt residue away from the opening.Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly, so that no detergent can get into the container during the wash program (this could damage the water softener beyond repair). Once done, proceed to the next step by pressing „SET” button. Only use salt that has been specifi cally designed for dishwashers. Whenever you need to add salt, it is mandatory to complete the procedure before the beginning of the washing cycle. Residual saline solution or grains of salt can lead to corrosion, irreparably damaging the stainless steel components. The guarantee is not applicable if faults are caused by such circumstances. If the salt container is not fi lled, the water softener and the heating element may be damaged as a result.

Setting the brightness level

Detergent type operation

In this step it is very important to choose what type of detergent will be used (tablet/capsule or gel/powder). If you prefer to use All-in-one detergent in tablet or capsule for washing – press „SET”, then go to step 7. Open tap operation on the next page.

The symbol on display will be lit. If you prefer to use gel or powder detergent for washing, press „<” or „>”, then go to step 6. Rinse aid operation.

Rinse aid operation

• If All-in-one detergent was chosen in the previous step, this step will be skipped by the appliance.

1. Open the dispenser B by pressing and pulling up the tab on the lid.
2. Carefully introduce the rinse aid as far as the maximum (110 ml) reference notch of the filling space A – avoid spilling it. If this happens, clean the spill immediately with a dry cloth.
3. Press the lid down until you hear a click to close it.
4. Confi rm operation by pressing the „SET” button. NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the tub.

Setting rinse aid level
(not necessary when using tablets/capsules) The rinse aid dosage can be adjusted to the detergent used. The lower the setting, the less rinse aid is dispensed. The factory setting is for (5) level. To change, follow the instructions in section “SETTINGS / MENU”.

Open tap operation

Check water tap is open. If closed, open it then confi rm by pressing „SET” button.

First cycle operation

Before normal use of appliance it is recommended to run Intensive cyc-le first, to calibrate the appliance. Insert a detergent into dispenser chamber B (see below), then press „SET” button. Intensive cycle will be selected automaticly. Press „START” button and close the appliance door. This fi rst cycle can be up to 20 minutes longer as a result of the automatic calibration process.

After this process the appliance is ready for normal use.

ADDING A DETERGENT

Only use detergent which has been specifi cally designed for dishwashers.

To achieve the best washing and drying results, the combined use of detergent, rinse aid liquid and refi ned salt is required. We recommend using detergents that do not contain phosphates or chlorine, as these products are harmful to the environment. Good washing results also depend on the correct amount of deter-gent being used. Exceeding the stated amount does not result in a more eff ective wash and increases environmental pollution. The amount can be adjusted to the soil level. In the case of normally soiled items, use approximately either 35g (powder detergent) or 35ml (liquid detergent) and an additional tea spoon of detergent directly inside the tub. If tablets are used, one tablet will be enough. 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 deter-gent used accordingly (minimum 25 g/ml) e.g. skip the powder/gel putted inside the tub.

To open the detergent dispenser, press button A. Introduce the deter-gent into the dry dispenser B only. Place the amount of detergent for pre-washing directly inside the tub.

1. When measuring out the detergent refer to the mentioned ear-lier information to add the proper quantity. Inside the dispenser B there are indications to help the detergent dosing.
2. Remove detergent residues from the edges of the dispenser and close the cover until it clicks.
3. Close the lid of the detergent dispenser by pulling it up until the closing device is secured in place.

The detergent dispenser automatically opens up at the right time according to the program. If you are using a All-in-one detergents, we recommend that you add salt in any case, especially if the water is hard or very hard (follow the instructions given on the packaging).

ADVICE AND TIPS

TIPS
Before loading the baskets, remove all food residues from the crockery and empty the glasses. You do not need to rinse beforehand under running water. Arrange the crockery so that it is held in place fi rmly and does not tip over; and arrange the containers with the openings facing downwards and the concave/convex parts placed obliquely, thus allowing the water to reach every surface and fl ow freely. Warning: lids, handles, trays and frying pans do not prevent the spray-er arms from rotating. Place any small items in the cutlery basket. Very soiled dishes and pans should be placed in the lower basket because in this sector the water sprays are stronger and allow a higher washing performance. After loading the appliance, make sure that the sprayer arms can cotate freely.

HYGIENE
To avoid odour and sediment which can be accumulated in the dishwasher please run a high temperature program at least once a month. Use a tea spoon of detergent and run it without the loading to clean your appliance.

UNSUITABLE CROCKERY

• Wooden crockery and cutlery.
• Delicate decorated glasses, artistic handicraft and antique crockery. Their decorations are not resistant.
• Parts in synthetic material which do not withstand high temperatures.
• Copper and tin crockery.
• Crockery soiled with ash, wax, lubricating grease or ink.

The colours of glass decorations and aluminium/silver pieces can change and fade during the washing process. Some types of glass (e.g. crystal objects) can become opaque after a number of wash cycles too.

DAMAGE TO GLASS AND CROCKERY

• Only use glasses and porcelain guaranteed by the manufacturer as dishwasher safe.
• Use a delicate detergent suitable for crockery
• Collect glasses and cutlery from the dishwasher as soon as the wash cycle is over.

LOADING THE RACKS

CUTLERY RACK

The third rack was designed tohouse the cutlery. Arrange the cutlery as shown in the fi gure. A separate arrangement of the cutlery makes collection easier after washing and improves washing and drying performance. Knives and other utensils with sharp edges must be positioned with the blades facing downwards. The geometry of the rack makes it possible to place such small items as coff ee cups in the area in the middle. The cutlery basket is equipped with two sliding side trays to make the most of the height of the space below and enable the loading of high items into upper rack.

UPPER RACK

Load delicate and light dishes:- glasses, cups, saucers, low salad bowls. The upper rack has tip-up supports which can be used in a vertical position when arranging tea/ dessert saucers or in a lower position to load bowls and food containers.

FOLDABLE FLAPS WITH ADJUSTABLE POSITION
The side foldable fl aps can be positioned at three different heights to optimize the arrangement of crockery inside the rack. Wine glasses can be placed safely in the foldable fl aps by inserting the stem of each glass into the corresponding slots. For optimum drying results incline the foldable fl aps more. To change the inclination, pull up the foldable flap, slide it slightly and position it as you wish

ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE UPPER RACK
The height of the upper rack can be adjusted: high position to place bulky crockery in the lower basket and low position to make the most of the tip-up supports by creating more space upwards and avoid collision with the items loaded into lower rack. The upper rack is equipped with a Upper Rack height adjuster (see fi gure), without pressing the levers, lift it up by simply holding the rack sides, as soon as the rack is stable in its upper position. To restore to the lower position, press the levers A at the sides of the rack and move the basket downwards. We strongly recommend that you do not adjust the height of the rack when it is loaded. NEVER raise or lower the basket on one side only.

LOWER RACK
For pots, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery etc. Large plates and lids should ideally be placed at the sides to avoid interferences with the spray arm. The lower rack has tip-up supports which can be used in a vertical position when arranging plates or in a horizontal position (lower) to load pans and salad bowls easily.

GLASS CARE
Dedicated accessory that allows you to safely store diff erent types of stem glasses in the lower rack. It enables cleaning & drying results by allowing an optimised and stable positioning of the glasses.

DYNAMIC CLEAN IN LOWER RACK
Dynamic Clean uses the special water jets in the rear of cavity to wash more intensively the high dirty items. Placing the pots/casseroles faced to the Dynamic Clean® component please acti- vate the DYNAMIC CLEAN on the panel. The lower rack has a Dynamic Clean, a special pull-out support in the rear of the rack that can be used to support frying pans or baking pans in upright position, thus taking up less space.

How to use Dynamic Clean:

1. Adjust the Dynamic Clean area (G) folding down the rear plate holders to load pots.
2. Load pots and casseroles inclined vertically in Dynamic Clean area. Pots have to be inclined towards the power water jets.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

ATTENTION: Always unplug the appliance when cleaning it and when performing maintenance work.Do not use flammable liquids to clean the machine.

CLEANING THE DISHWASHER
Any marks on the inside of the appliance may be removed using a cloth dampened with water and a little vinegar. The external surfaces of the machine and the control panel can be cleaned using a non-abrasive cloth that has been dampened with water. Do not use solvents or abrasive products.

PREVENTING UNPLEASANT ODOURS
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 odors.

CHECKING THE WATER SUPPLY HOSE
Check the inlet hose regularly for brittleness and cracks. If damaged, replace it by a new hose available through our After-Sales Service or your specialist dealer. Depending on the hose type: If the inlet hose has a transparent coating, periodically check if the color intensifi es locally. If yes, the hose may have a leak and should be replaced. For water stop hoses: check the small safety valve inspection window

(see arrow). If it is red, the water stop function was triggered, and the hose must be replaced by a new one. For unscrewing this hose, press the release button while unscrewing the hose.

CLEANING THE WATER INLET HOSE
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 FILTER ASSEMBLY
Regularly clean the fi lter assembly so that the filters do not clog and that the waste water flows away correctly. The fi lter assembly consists of three fi lters which remove food residues from the washing water and then recirculate the water: to obtain the best washing results, you need to keep them clean. The dishwasher must not be used without filters or if the fi lter 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 A 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 C (Fig 3).
4. Inspect the trap and remove any food residues. NEVER REMOVE the wash-cycle pump protection (black detail) (Fig 4).

After cleaning the filters, re-place the filter assembly and fix it in position correctly; this is essential for maintaining the efficient operation of the dishwasher.

CLEANING THE SPRAY ARMS
On occasions, food residue may become encrusted onto the spray arms and block the holes used to spray the water. It is therefore recommended that you check the arms from time to time and clean them with a small non-metallic brush. To remove the upper spray arm, turn the plastic locking ring in an anti-clockwise direction. The upper spray arm should be replaced so that the side with the greater number of holes is facing upwards. The lower spray arm may be removed by pulling it upwards.

TROUBLESHOOTING
