Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for future EN 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.

This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as:

-staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments;

-farm houses;

-by clients in hotels, motels and other residential type environments;

-bed and breakfast type environments.

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 (the angle of inclination must not exceed 2 degrees). 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.

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 that may form.

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.

Connecting the water supplies

EN

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.

Connecting the water inlet hose

The water inlet and outlet hoses and the electricity supply cable may be positioned towards the right or the left in order to achieve the best possible installation.

???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 provided 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 60??C.

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 Installation).

The hose should not be bent or compressed.

The appliance must be connected to the water supply network using new hoses.

Do not use old hoses.

Ensure that the new hose supplied is connected and the old hose is disposed of safely.

DO NOT overtighten the hose connector, hand tight is sufficient.

Ensure the fill hose is not kinked.

Tap connections*: A range of adaptors are available to suit your tap.

DO NOT connect the dishwasher to a single outlet instantaneous water heater or an electric heater.

Sink Waste System

Connect the outlet hose (without bending it) to a drain duct with a minimum diameter of 32 mm.

The outlet hose must be at a height ranging from 40 to 80 cm (from 15?????? to 31??????) from the floor / surface where the dishwasher rests (A).

???before connecting the drain hose, remove any internal restrictions; this will prevent a build up of debris which could cause a blockage

???remove any restrictions from the waste spigot and ensure that the sealing bung is removed (B).

It MUST NOT be connected to a surface water drain.

??? Untie the end of the GREY drainage hose from the rear of the appliance.

??? If fitting an under sink waste disposal unit, cut out the membrane, bung or blanking plug.

Ensure the drain hose is securely attached, to prevent it coming away while the machine is in use and causing a flood.

Fit hose to waste securely using a ???Jubilee??? type clip.

Loading the racks

Before loading the racks, remove all food residues from the crockery and empty liquids from glasses and cups. Arrange the crockery so that it is held in place firmly and does not tip over.

After loading the appliance, check that the sprayer arms can rotate freely.

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: The cutlery basket should be positioned at the front of the lower rack, by sliding it between the fixed inserts, or on the upper rack when the half load option has been selected (in models featuring this option).

- It has 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 tip-up compartments on the upper rack.

Cutlery basket positioning examples

Upper rack

Load this rack with delicate and lightweight crockery: glasses, tea and coffee cups, saucers, small salad bowls, saucepans and small saucepans which are not too soiled, using the Loading examples as a guide.

??? Mugs and cups, long sharp knives and serving utensils: place these on the tip-up compartments**.

Tip-up compartments with adjustable tilt*

- The tilt feature can be used to increase the space in the upper rack, to position wine glasses with different stem lengths safely and to improve drying performance.

* Only available in selected models. ** The number and position may vary.

- Lift the tip-up compartment, slide it gently and position it in the desired tilt angle.

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.

Items which should not be washed in the dishwasher

???Wooden items, objects with wooden or horn handles or glued- on parts.

???Items made from aluminium, copper, brass, pewter or tin.

???Items made from plastic material which is not heat-resistant.

???Antique or hand-painted porcelain.

???Antique silver. Silver which is not antique may, however, be washed in the dishwasher using a delicate wash cycle, provided that it does not come into contact with other metals.

We recommend the use of crockery which is dishwasher safe.

Starting the dishwasher

EN

1.Turn the water tap on.

2.Press the ON/OFF button: all the indicator lights on the control panel will light up for a few seconds.

3.Open the door and pour in a suitable amount of detergent (see below).

4.Load the racks (see Loading the racks) and shut the door.

5.Select the wash cycle in accordance with the type of crockery and its soil level (see Table of wash cycles) by pressing the P button.

6.Select the wash options* (see adjacent information).

7.Start the cycle by pressing the Start/Pause button (fixed light). A long beep signals the start of the wash cycle; the wash cycle indicator light is illuminated and the time remaining until the end of the cycle is displayed.

8.Two short beeps and one long one indicate the end of the wash cycle; the Start/Pause button switches off and the word END appears on the display. Switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button, shut off the water valve 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 machine will switch off automatically during certain periods of inactivity, in order to minimise electricity consumption.

AUTO WASH CYCLES*: this model of dishwasher is equipped with a special sensor which can be used to assess the level of soiling and automatically select the most efficient and economic wash cycle accordingly.

The duration of the auto wash cycles may vary due to the operation of the sensor.

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: once the wash cycle has started, switch off the machine by pressing and holding the ON/ OFF/Reset button. Switch it back on using the same button and select the desired wash cycle and options.

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 once the electricity supply is restored.

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.

Wash options

The OPTIONS may only be set, modified or reset after the wash cycle has been selected and before the Start/ Pause button has been pressed.

Only the options which are compatible with the type of wash cycle set may be selected. If an option is not compat- ible with the selected was cycle (see Table of wash cycles), the corresponding LED flashes rapidly 3 times.

If an option is selected which is incompatible with another option or wash cycle selected previously, the incompat- ible option light will flash 3 times and switches off, while the most recently selected setting remains lit.

To deselect an option which has been set by mis- take, press the corresponding button again.

Delay Start

The start of the wash cycle may be delayed for a period of time between 1 and 24 hours.

1.After selecting the desired wash cycle and any other options, press the DELAY START button: the corresponding indicator light will illuminate. Use the same button to select the time at which you wish the wash cycle to begin (after a period of 1 to 24 hours).

2.Confirm your selection using the Start/Pause button; the countdown will begin. The selected delay period indicator light is displayed and the Start/Pause button stops flashing (the light becomes fixed instead).

3.When the set time has elapsed, a long beep sounds, the DELAY START indicator light switches off and the wash cycle begins.

To deselect the DELAY START option, press the DELAY START button repeatedly until the text OFF appears.

The Delay Start function cannot be set once the wash has been started.

Half load

Remember to halve the amount of detergent.

It is better to use powder detergent in this case.

This option is incompatible with the following wash cycle: Rapide wash.

Multi-functional tablets (Tabs)

This option optimises washing and drying results.

When using multi-functional tablets, press the MULTI- FUNCTIONAL TABLETS button. The corresponding indicator light will illuminate. The ???Multi-functional tablets??? option results in the lengthening of the wash cycle.

The MULTI-FUNCTIONAL TABLETS option remains set for subsequent wash cycles if it is not deselected.

The use of tablets is only recommended for models which offer the MULTI-FUNCTIONAL TABLETS option.

This option is not recommended for use with wash cycles which do not specify the use of multi-functional tablets (see Table of options).

This option is incompatible with the following wash cycle: Soak.

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.

If you do not add salt or rinse aid, the LOW SALT* and LOW RINSE AID* indicator lights remain lit.

Measuring out the rinse aid

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;

repeatedly until the desired hardness level has been reached (1-2-3-4-5* see Water hardness table), up to a maximum of five EN levels.

- To exit the function, wait a few seconds or press one of the option buttons*, or switch off the machine using the ON/OFF button.

Even if using multi-functional tablets, the salt dispenser should still be filled.

For values between 0??f and 10??f, we do not recommend the use of salt. * this setting may cause a slight increase in the duration of the cycles. ** for 1 wash cycle per day.

(??dH = hardness measured in German degrees - ??f = hardness measured in French degrees - mmol/l = millimoles per litre)

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 dispenser. If this happens, clean the spill immediately with a dry cloth.

3.Screw the lid back on.

NEVER pour the rinse aid directly

Measuring out the refined salt

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:

into the appliance tub.

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.

-Switch on the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.

-Press the P button and hold for approximately 5 seconds; two short beeps will sound, the text H2O will appear on the display and the set hardness number will flash (the water softening system is set by default to number 3). Press the P button

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. (the container cap with the 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.

EN

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 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).

Cleaning the water inlet filter* 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.

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

???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.

* Only available in selected models.

If your family includes children:

???DO NOT allow children to play with the appliance or tamper with its controls.

???Keep detergents and rinse aids away from children.

???Keep children away from the open door of a dishwasher, there

could still be some detergent left inside.

Disposal of old electrical appliances

The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human health and the environment. The crossed out "wheeled bin" symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected.

Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.

Saving water and energy

???Only start a wash cycle when the dishwasher is full. While waiting for the dishwasher to be filled, prevent unpleasant odours with the Soak cycle (see Wash Cycles).

???Select a wash cycle that is suited to the type of crockery and to the soil level of the crockery using the Wash cycle table:

-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.

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 50??C, 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 65??C wash cycle.

???To avoid wasting detergent, use the product in appropriate quantities based on the manufacturer???s recommendations, the hardness of the water and the soil level and quantity of the crockery. Even if they are biodegradable, detergents contain substances that may alter the balance of nature.
