How to load your dishes

Before washing, a few small steps can help you get a better wash and keep your dishwasher for longer. Remove the largest scraps of food leftover on your plates, soak saucepans and frying pans with tough incrustations. After loading your dishes, make sure the blades on the sprayer arm turn well. Do not place glasses and cups on top of one another, and make sure the dishes are not touching.

First of all.
Before placing the dishes in the racks, remove the largest scraps of food leftover 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. To make it easier to load your dishes, pull the racks out.

What goes into the lower rack?
We recommend you place the most difficult dishes to wash into the lower rack: saucepans, lids, soup dishes, and plates (a loaded example is 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 lower rack has tip-up sectors (see figure B ), so you can place even more saucepans and frying pans or make room for the larger ones.

Place the cutlery with the handles at the bottom; if the basket is the one with side inserts, then insert the teaspoons one by one into the slots (see figure A).
It is best if you place longer utensils horizontally at the front of the upper rack.
After loading the dishes, remember to check that the blades on the sprayer arms can turn freely without hitting against any dishes

What goes into the upper rack?
Place delicate and lightweight dishes in the upper rack: glasses, teacups, coffee cups, saucers but plates too – shallow salad bowls, slightly dirty frying pans, and shallow pans.
Position lightweight dishes in such as way as to avoid their being moved by the spray of water.

How to adjust the top rack.
The upper rack can be set in a high or low position to enable you to organize your dishes effortlessly.

Open the rail stop flaps and pull the rack out completely. Now place it in a high or low position, then slide it along the guide rails until the front wheels also go in. Now close the rail stop flaps. Follow the sequence of actions illustrated in figure “F”.

Starting the dishwasher

Ready, steady, go!

You have loaded your dishes and you now have to set the wash cycle. It takes just one minute to learn how

First of all.
Turn on the water tap completely and press the ON-OFF button “A”: a short beep will sound and indicator light “B” will come on. Now the appliance is on and ready to be programmed.

Selecting the wash cycle.
To select a wash cycle, turn knob “D” clockwise until the reference notch on the knob corresponds with the number or symbol for the cycle you wish to set (have a look at the wash cycle table on page 6). After a few seconds, you will hear a short beep: the wash cycle has begun and it is not advisable to make any changes at this point.

The dishwasher informs you.
Your dishwasher is fitted with indicator lights (G) that come on to show you at which point the wash cycle is at.
Here are the symbols corresponding to each cycle phase: Starting from the indicator light on the left moving towards the one on the right: pre-wash, wash, rinses, drying.

At all times, your dishwasher tells you where it is at.

You can cancel the wash cycle in progress if it has only just started.

Modifying a wash cycle in progress.
But if you have chosen the wrong cycle, not to worry! You can modify the wash cycle in progress if it has only just started. Turn the knob anti-clockwise and set it to Reset, after a few seconds you will hear 3 beeps, and the indicator light “G” will go out: this means all the settings have been canceled. You are now free to re-set the correct wash cycle.

You’ve left out a dish?
Well, it happens to everyone. Interrupt the wash cycle by pressing the ON-OFF button, insert the dish you had forgotten and press the ONOFF button again. The cycle will start up from where you interrupted it.

Finished?
The end of the wash cycle is signaled by 2 short beeps and a flashing drying phase indicator light. Set the knob to the Reset position to clear all settings.
Turn the appliance off by pressing the button “A”, thus cutting off the electricity supply.
Turn off the water tap.
Wait a few minutes before unloading the dishes: they are very hot! If you wait a little while, they dry better thanks to the steam. Empty the lower rack first.

Make sure the wash cycle has ended before removing the dishes!

There’s been a power failure? Have you opened the dishwasher door?
The wash cycle stops and then restarts when the electricity comes back on or when you shut the door. Everything is under control!

Do you want to wash on one rack only?
Remember to use half the amount of detergent. Your dishwasher also allows you to wash half a load, to save water and electricity. Before setting any wash cycle, press button “ H “.

If opening the door soon after the end of the program, or during it, stand away from the Dishwasher, to avoid possible injury from hot steam.

Detergent and rinse aid

Only use specific dishwasher detergents. Pour the detergent into the dispenser on the inside of the door. Before the wash cycle starts!

The detergent
Loading the detergent
To open lid A, press button B. The detergent should be poured into the two containers C and D up to the rim.
Now you can close the lid: press it down until you hear it click.
If you prefer to use the detergent in tablets, place one of these in container “D”. Now you can close the lid: press it down until you hear it click.

It won’t close!
Check whether there is any detergent residue on the edges of the dispenser. It is due to this residue that the lid won’t close. Get rid of it and you’ll see that it closes.

Useful tips

• Use the right amount of detergent: if you use too much, you will not get cleaner dishes, but just more environmental pollution.
• Keep your dishwasher detergent and rinse aid in a cool, dry place and away from children.

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.

The 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 you see the container is empty by means of indicator “D”.
(If your dishwasher is fitted with a “low rinse aid” indicator light, fill the container up when the indicator light flashes or lights up).

Loading the rinse aid.
To open the dispenser, turn cap C anticlockwise. Take care when you pour in the rinse aid to avoid it overflowing. You can adapt the amount of rinse aid used by the dishwasher: regulate the adjuster F which you will find under lid C.

You can choose from six different positions. It is normally set to 4.

Proper dosage of the rinse aid improves drying. If drops of water remain on the dishes or spotting occurs, turn the dosage adjuster to a higher setting. If, on the other hand, the dishes have white streaks, then turn the dosage adjuster down to a lower setting.

Select the right wash cycle

Awash cycle for every degree of soil

Salt, rinse aid, the right amount of detergent, and the correct wash cycle: this is the formula to get the best results and to keep your dishwasher in shape
Select the right wash cycle for your dishes. Selecting the most suitable wash cycle for the load ensures clean dishes and more convenient use of water and electricity.

Never without salt

Water in your home

Water hardness varies according to where you live. If the water in your home is hard, without water softening, incrustations would form on your dishes. Your dishwasher is fitted with a water softener which uses special salt to get rid of limescale in the water.
To prevent rust from forming, load the salt just before beginning a wash cycle.

Loading the salt.
Always use salt which is intended for dishwasher use.
The salt container is situated underneath the lower rack, fill it up as follows:

1. Pull out the lower rack completely, unscrew and remove the container cap
2. Is it the first time you load the salt? First, fill the container up with water (you won’t have to do this again next time)
3. Put the dishwasher funnel on the hole and pour in approximately two kilos of salt. It is normal that some water comes out of the container.
4. Screw the cap back in place carefully.

When should I load the salt?
The salt container must be filled when the “low salt” indicator light “ E ” comes on.
Once you have loaded the salt for the first time, it is normal that the low salt indicator light stays on or flashes for 5consecutive cycles.

Intelligent salt.
Your dishwasher can adjust its salt consumption according to the hardness of the water in your home. This way, you can optimize and customize your dishwasher’s salt consumption (not too much, nor too little).

To adjust salt consumption, do as follows:

1. Unscrew the salt container cap
2. There is an arrow on the neck of the container (see figure): if necessary, turn the arrow anticlockwise from the “-” setting to the “+” setting. Select the arrow position depending on the water hardness,

Suggestions and advice for you.

How to look after and protect the dishes you hold dear

• Almost all silverware can be cleaned in a dishwasher. There are two exceptions: old silverware and silverware decorated with an oxidizing agent. Hot water can loosen the handles on old silverware ad wear off the decorations on the other. Never let silverware come into contact with other metals: you will thus avoid stains and blackening
  Apart from making you save time and energy, your dishwasher disinfects your dishes, washing them at a high temperature.

• Silver plates and serving dishes should be washed immediately after use, especially if they have contained salt, eggs, olives, mustard, vinegar, fruit juices, and cooked vegetables.

• For particularly delicate dishes, we recommend you use the specific wash cycle offered by your dishwasher.

You don’t know how hard the water in your home is? Ask the company that supplies water in your area.

Savings are easy
Using your electric household appliances wisely helps you make savings and is good for the environment.

Maximum load.
To optimize consumption levels, try to use the dishwasher with a full load only. If it takes quite some time to fill up your dishwasher, use the soak cycle to avoid the formation of bad odors and caked-on food.

Half load.
Remember that, if need be, your dishwasher also allows you to wash half a load (using the upper rack only). Before setting any wash cycle whatsoever (in this case, we recommend you do not set the heavy-duty wash cycle), press button “H”. Remember to use half the amount of detergent. The right wash cycle. Select the most suitable wash cycle for the type of load you have placed in the dishwasher. The choice of wash cycle depends on the type of dishes to wash and on how dirty they are. To select the right wash cycle, please consult the wash cycle table on page 6.

Installation and moving

Your dishwasher has arrived

After having bought or moved your dishwasher to another home, a correct installation ensures that your dishwasher will operate smoothly and efficiently.

Choose where you want to install your dishwasher, you can even place it so that its sides or back panel are side by side with furniture or up against the wall. The dishwasher is provided with a water supply and drain hoses, which can be directed towards the left or right to facilitate appropriate installation.

Easy to build-in
This dishwasher model can be builtin under a single worktop easily. The dishwasher comes with an assembly kit complete with an instructions sheet.

Leveling.
Once the appliance is positioned, adjust the feet by screwing them in or out depending on how high you want it and to level it so that it is horizontal. Make sure that it is not inclined more than 2 degrees. If the appliance is level, it will help ensure its correct operation.

Coldwater connection.
Connect the cold water supply hose to a 3/4 gas threaded connection, taking care to screw it tightly onto the tap.
If the water hoses are new or have been out of use for an extended period of time, let the water run to make sure it is clear and free of impurities before making the connection. If this precaution is not taken, the water inlet could get blocked, causing damage to your dishwasher.

If the power socket to which the appliance is connected is not compatible with the plug, replace it with a suitable plug rather than using adapters or multiple plugs as these could cause overheating or burns.

Hot water connection.
Your dishwasher can be supplied with hot water from the mains supply (if you have a central heating system with radiators) at a temperature of no more than 60°C.
In this case, the wash cycle time will be about 15 minutes shorter and the wash will be slightly less effective.
The connection must be made to the hot water supply following the same procedures as those indicated for the cold water connection.

Anti-flooding protection
Your dishwasher is provided with a special system that blocks the water supply in the event of leaks inside the appliance. It is further equipped with a water inlet hose comprising an outer clear hose and an inner red hose, which can both withstand extremely high pressures. Should the inner hose break, the outer hose will consequently turn red. Safety in the event of flooding is ensured by the second clear hose that contains the former. It is vital that you check the outer hose regularly: if you see it has turned bright red, then you know you have to replace it as soon as possible. Call for an authorized technical engineer to come and replace it.

Drain hose connection.
Fit the drain hose into a drain pipe 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 free end of the hose should be between 40 and 100 cm above the ground and should not be immersed in water.

Electrical connection.
First of all, check that the mains voltage and frequency values correspond to those stated on the rating plate located on the stainless steel inner door of the appliance and that the electrical system to which the dishwasher is connected is sized for the maximum current indicated on the said rating plate.

Earth: indispensable safety.
Only now can you plug the appliance into a socket provided with an efficient earth connection (the systems earthing is a guarantee of safety provided for by law, make sure your system has it).

Power supply wire.
Check the power supply wire on a regular basis; if it is damaged, we recommend you have it replaced by an authorized technical Assistance service center.

The special plastic elbow should be fastened firmly onto the wall to prevent the drain hose from moving and allow water to spill outside the drain.

Safety within your home

Your dishwasher was built in accordance with the strictest international safety regulations. They protect you and your family. Read the instructions and information contained in this manual: they will provide you with useful hints as to installation, use, and maintenance safety. To avoid nasty surprises.

1. Dispose of the packaging material carefully (follow the instructions on how to divide your rubbish up provided by your local Council)
2. After removing the packaging, check to make sure your appliance is intact. If in doubt, contact a qualified professional.
3. Your dishwasher must only be used by adults and for washing household dishes, according to the instructions included in this manual. Do not touch the appliance with wet hands or feet or barefoot.
4. We discourage the use of extension leads and multiple plugs. If the electricity supply wire is not long enough, then have it replaced with one of the correct lengths and remember that it should be free of bends or dangerous kinks.
5. If the appliance is not operating properly or if maintenance operations are necessary, disconnect the dishwasher from the mains power supply (unplug it!).
6. Keep children away from the dishwasher when it is open and keep detergents out of their reach.
7. Your dishwasher is not to be installed outdoors, not even if the area is covered by a roof: it is extremely dangerous to leave it exposed to rain and thunderstorms.
8. Do not touch the heating element during or straight after a wash cycle.
9. Do not lean or sit on the door when it is open, as this could overturn the dishwasher.
10. If the appliance malfunctions, turn off the water inlet tap and disconnect the plug from the wall socket. Then try consulting the section entitled “I you have a problem, read this”. If you cannot resolve the problem, then call the service center.
11. Once taken out of use, appliances must be made inoperable: cut the power supply wire and damage the door lock.

Care and maintenance

Cleaning and special maintenance

The filter assembly If you want consistently 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 cup “C” and the semi-circular filter A after each wash; pull the cup handle upwards to remove them. Just rinse them under running water.
The entire filter assembly should be cleaned thoroughly once a month: cup C + semi-circular filter A + cylindrical filter B. Rotate filter “B” anticlockwise to remove it. For cleaning, use a nonmetallic brush.
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.

Cleaning the sprayer arms.
Food residue may become encrusted onto the sprayer arms and block the holes where water comes out. Check the sprayer arms regularly and clean them once in a while (letters F and I “How is it made?”).
Once in a while, once a month, spend a little time on the filter assembly and the sprayer arms.

Keep your dishwasher in shape

Respecting these few rules ensures you will always have a reliable work companion by your side.

After every wash.
When the wash cycle has ended, always remember to turn off the water supply tap and to leave the appliance door ajar. This way, moisture, and bad odors will not be trapped inside.

Unplug the appliance.
Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance on the dishwasher, always remove the plug from the electricity socket. Do not run risks.

No solvents! No abrasives!
To clean the exterior and rubber parts of your appliance, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. Use a cloth dampened with lukewarm soapy water only. If there are any stains on the surface of the appliance interior, use a cloth dampened with water and a little white vinegar, or a cleaning product specifically made for dishwashers.

Going on holiday?
When you go away for an extended period of time, we recommend you do the following:

• run a cycle with the dishwasher empty
• turn off the water inlet tap.
• leave the appliance door ajar

This will help the seals last longer and prevent unpleasant odors from forming inside the appliance.

Moving the appliance.
Should the appliance have to be moved, try to keep it in a vertical position. If absolutely necessary, it can be positioned on its back.

The seals.
One of the factors that cause unpleasant odors to form inside the dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning using a damp sponge will prevent this from occurring.

Your dishwasher is not a waste disintegrator! Do not worry about removing every single bit of food residue from your dishes, but do get rid of bones, peel and rind, and any other left-overs before placing them in the racks. Empty out all glasses and cups.
