INSTALLATION IN FITTEDKITCHENS

Fitting between existing cabinets

■ The height of the dishwasher, 85 cm, hasbeen designed in order to allow themachine to be fitted between existingcabinets of the same height in modernfitted kitchens (fig. 5). The feet can be adjusted so that correctheight is reached.

Opening the door

Put your hand into the recess and pull. If the machine comes open while it is working,an electrical safety device automaticallyswitches everything off.

IMPORTANTFor the machine to work properly,the door should not be opened whileit is in operation.

Closing the door

Place the baskets in the machine. Make sure that both the spray arms arefree to rotate and are not obstructed bycutlery, crockery or pans. Close the door,pressing on it to make sure it is firmly shut.

Underneath existing work top(when fitting beneath a work top)

■ In most modern fitted kitchens there isonly one single work top under whichcabinets and electrical appliances arefitted. In this case remove the work topof the dishwasher by unscrewing thescrews under the rear edge of the top(fig. 6a).

IMPORTANTAfter removing the work top, thescrews MUST BE screwed againunder the rear edge of the top(fig. 6b).

■ The height will then be reduced to 82 cm,as scheduled by the InternationalRegulations (ISO) and the dishwasherwill fit perfectly under the kitchenworking top (fig. 7).

■ Place the cutlery in the plastic cutleryholder with the handles pointing upwardsand place the cutlery holder on the lowerbasket (fig. 6) making sure that thecutlery does not get in the way of therotating arms.

■ The lower basket is fitted with a specialadjustable central rack (fig. 3 and 4).This permits stable and optimumloading, even when the size and/orshape of the dishes is non-standard.

- POSITION “A”: for a standard load, orone that excludes pans, salad bowls andthe like.

- POSITION “B”: for dishes which,although standard size, have a particularshape (very deep bowls, square dishesor ones without borders etc.).

- POSITION “C”: for larger than averageflat plates and/or ones with non-standard shapes (square, hexagonal,oval, pizza dishes etc.).

■ Smaller plates (used for dessert platesfor example), can also be placed into thelower basket as shown in the figure 5,with the support flap placed outwards("B"). For normal or large plates the flap mustbe in the position ("A").

WARNING!If the small plates are placed in thebasket with the support flap in theincorrect position, the plates willinterfere with the lower spraying armpreventing it to rotate.

LOADING DISHES

Using the upper basket

■ The upper basket is provided with mobileracks hooked to the sides of the basket,which can be regulated into two positions:upright and lowered.

■ In the lowered position the racks may beused for such items as: tea and coffeecups, kitchen knives and ladles. Alsoglasses with stems may be safely hungon the ends of the racks. Glasses, cups,saucers and dessert plates may be loadedunder the racks.

■ In the upright position the racks allowyou to load dinner plates and soup platesup to a maximum diameter of 19 cm.Plates should be loaded vertically withthe underside of the plate towards theback of the dishwasher with a spacebetween each plate to allow water topass freely.

■ It is advisable that the plates loaded intothe dishwasher together be the samesize in order to utilize total basket capacity.

■ Plates may be loaded in a single row orin two rows.

■ It is advisable to load large plates slightlytilted towards the front to facilitate theintroduction of the basket into themachine.

■ The upper basket has been designed tooffer maximum flexibility in use and canbe loaded with glasses, cups, smallplates and small-sized bowls.

A standard daily load is represented infig. 6.

LOADING THE DETERGENT

The detergent

IMPORTANTIt is essential to use a detergentthat is specifically designed fordishwashers either in powder, liquidor tablet form.

Unsuitable detergents (like those forwashing up by hand) do not contain theproper ingredients for use in a dishwasher,and stop the dishwasher from workingcorrectly.

Filling the detergent containerThe detergent container is inside the door(fig. A “2”). If the lid of the container isclosed, press the button (A) to open. At the end of every wash cycle the lid isalways open and ready for the next timethe dishwasher is used.

WARNING!When loading the lower basket, pleaseensure that the plates or others do notobstruct the detergent dispenser.

The amount of detergent to be used variesaccording to how dirty the dishes are andon the type of dishes to be washed.We advise using 20÷30 g of detergent in thewash section of detergent compartment (B).

15

After pouring the detergent into the container,close the lid, firstly pushing (1) and thenpressing on it (2) until you hear the click.

Since not all detergents are the same theinstructions on the boxes of detergent canvary. We should just like to remind usersthat too little detergent does not clean thedishes properly whilst too much detergentwill not produce better results and is also awaste.

IMPORTANTDo not use an excessive amount ofdetergent and help limit damage tothe environment at the same time.

Using the third basket

■ The third basket has been designed toload items such as utensils of smalldimensions or flat and long shapeditems. By freeing the lower baskets fromthese objects, loading big-size itemsbecomes more comfortable and easier,making it possible for instance to loadplates and pots in the lower basket.

■ The third basket can be loaded with thefollowing items: coffee cups and sideplates, fruit or dessert cups, small bowls,saucers, kitchen knives and forks, ladlesand large spoons, graters, andaccessories for small appliances (e.g.food mixer blades).

ATTENTION!The third basket is NOT designed forloading cutlery. The absence of racksfor fixing cutlery could involve suchitems being found in the lowerbaskets.

■ In order to obtain optimum washingresults, it is advisable to load items withtheir underside towards the ceiling of thedishwasher (e.g. small plates andbowls).

■ The third basket can be easily extractedfrom the dishwasher, by removing thefront stops at the beginning of baskettracks.

■ The third basket has been designed tooffer maximum flexibility in use. Due toits partition in three tilted sections andabsence of fixed racks, it can be loadedin numerous ways: only coffee cups andside plates; or coffee cups mixed withbowls and utensils; or again with sideplates, graters, and spoons.

A standard daily load is represented infig. 7.

Third basket (fig. 7)

LOADING THE RINSE AID

The rinse aid

The rinse aid, which is automaticallyreleased during the last rinsing cycle, helpsthe dishes to dry quickly and preventsspots and stains forming.

Filling the rinse aid containerThe rinse aid container can be found to theleft of the detergent container (fig. A "3").To open the lid, push the reference markand, in the same time, pull the tab ofopening.It is always advisable to use rinse aid thatis specifically designed for dishwasher.Check the rinse aid level through theindicator eye (C) which is located on thedispenser.

Regulating the rinse aid from 1 to 6

The regulator (D) is placed under the lidand can be turned using a coin. The recommended position is 4.The limestone content of the waterconsiderably affects the formation oflimescale and the drying performance.It is therefore important to regulate thequantity of rinse aid to achieve goodwashing results.If, after the wash, streaks occur on thedishes, decrease the amount by oneposition. If whitish spots occur, increase theamount by one position.

TYPES OF DETERGENT

Detergent tabletsDetergent tablets of different manufacturersdissolve at different speeds, for thisreason, during short programmes, somedetergent tablets may be not fully effective,because they are not completely dissolved.If these products are used, is recommendedto choose longer programmes to guaranteethe complete use of the detergent.

IMPORTANTTo get satisfactory washing results,the tablets MUST be placed in thewash section of the detergentcontainer and NOT directly in the tub.

Concentrated detergentsThe concentrated detergents, with reducedalkalinity and with natural enzymes, inconjunction with 50°C wash programmes,have a smaller impact on the environmentand they protect the dishes and thedishwasher. The 50°C wash programmespurposely exploit the dirt-dissolving propertiesof the enzymes, allowing therefore, with theuse of the concentrated detergents, to achievethe same results of the 65°C programmes butat a lower temperature.

Combined detergentsThe detergents that also contain the rinseaid must be placed in the wash section ofthe detergent container. The rinse aidcontainer must be empty (if it is not empty,set the rinse aid regulator to lowest positionbefore using combined detergents).

"ALL in 1" combined detergentsIf you are planning to use “ALL in 1” (“3 in 1 “/“4 in 1”/ “5 in 1”, etc.) combined detergents i.e.those with built in salt and/or rinse agent,we would advise the following:

■ read carefully and follow the manufacturer’sinstructions given on the packaging;

■ the effectiveness of detergents containingthe built in water softener/salt dependson the hardness of your water supply.Check that the hardness of your watersupply is within the effective range givenon the detergent packaging.

If when using this type of product, youdon't get satisfactory washing results,please contact the detergentmanufacturer.

In certain circumstances use of combineddetergents can cause:

■ limescale deposits on dishes or in thedishwasher;

■ a reduction in washing and dryingperformance.

IMPORTANTAny problems which arise as a directresult of the use of these productsare not covered by our warranty.

Please note that using the "ALL in 1"combined detergents, the rinse aid andsalt indicator lights (only used onselected models) are superfluous, so youmust ignore the lights.

If washing and/or drying problems occur,we recommend you return to use traditionalseparate products (salt, detergent andrinse agent). This will ensure that the watersoftener in the dishwasher operatescorrectly.

In this case, we recommends that you:

■ refill both the salt and rinse aid container;

■ run one normal washing cycle without aload.

Please note that on return to the use ofconventional salt, a number of cycles willbe required before the system becomesfully efficient again.

WARNING!Some dishwasher detergents arestrongly alkaline. They can be extre-mely dangerous if swallowed. Avoidcontact with the skin and eyes andkeep children away from the dishwa-sher when the door is open. Checkthat the detergent receptacle is emptyafter completion of the wash cycle.

19

PRATICAL HINTSHow to get really good washresults

■ Before placing the dishes in thedishwasher, remove any remainingfood (bones, shells, pieces of meat orvegetables, coffee grounds, skin of fruit,cigarette ash, tooth picks etc. to avoidblocking the filters, water outlet andwashing arm nozzles.

■ Try not to rinse the dishes beforeloading them into the dishwasher.

■ If saucepans and oven dishes areencrusted with the remains of burnt orroast food, it is advisable to leave themto soak before washing.

■ Place the dishes face downwards.

■ Try to place the dishes in such a waythat they are not touching one another.If they are loaded properly you will getbetter results.

■ After loading the dishes check that thewashing arms can rotate freely.

■ Pans and other dishes that haveparticularly stubborn food particles orremnants of burnt food should be left tosoak in water with dishwasherdetergent.

■ To wash silver properly:

a) rinse the silver immediately afteruse, especially if it has been used formayonnaise, eggs, fish etc.;

b) do not sprinkle detergent onto it;

c) keep it separate from other metals.

How to make savings■ If you want the dishwasher to give a

complete wash, place the dishes in thedishwasher at the end of each meal andif necessary turn on the COLD RINSEcycle to soften the food remains andremove bigger particles of food from thenew load of dishes. When the dishwasher is full start thecomplete wash cycle programme.

■ If the dishes are not very dirty or if thebaskets are not very full select anECONOMY programme, following theinstructions in the program list.

What not to wash■ It should be remembered that not all

dishes are suitable for washing in adishwasher.We advise against usingthe dishwasher to wash items inthermoplastic, cutlery with wooden orplastic handles, saucepans withwooden handles, items in aluminium,crystal, leaded glass unless otherwisestated.

■ Certain decorations may fade. It istherefore a good idea before loading thewhole batch to wash just one of theitems first so as to be sure that otherslike it will not fade.

■ It is a good idea not to put silver cutlerywith non-stainless steel handles intothe dishwasher as there could be achemical reaction between them.

IMPORTANTWhen buying new crockery orcutlery always make sure that they aresuitable for washing in a dishwasher.

Useful hints

■ In order to avoid any dripping from thetop rack, remove the lower rack first.

■ If the dishes are to be left in themachine for some time, leave the doorajar, to let some air circulate and toimprove the drying performance.

CLEANING THE FILTERS

The filter system (fig.A “4”) consists of:

a central container that traps the largerparticles;

a flat gauze that continuously filters thewash water;

a micro filter, located beneath the gauze,that traps the tiniest particles ensuring aperfect rinse.

■ To achieve excellent results every time,the filters should be checked andcleaned after each wash.

■ To remove the filter unit, simply turn thehandle anticlockwise (fig. 1).

■ For ease of cleaning, the central containeris removable (fig. 2).

■ Remove the gauze filter (fig.3) andwash the whole unit under a jet ofwater. If necessary a small brush canbe used.

■ With the Self-cleaning Micro filter,maintenance is reduced and the filterunit need only be checked every twoweeks. Nevertheless, after each wash itis advisable to check that the centralcontainer and the gauze filter are notclogged.

WARNING!After cleaning the filters, make surethat they are correctly reassembledand that the gauze filter is properlypositioned at the bottom of thedishwasher.

Make sure that the filter is screwedback, clockwise, into the gauze, aspoor seating of the filter unit couldhave an adverse effect on theefficiency of the appliance.

IMPORTANTNever use the dishwasher withoutthe filters.

2120

WHEN CYCLE IS FINISHEDAfter every wash it is essential to turn offwater supply and to switch off the machineby pressing the On/Off button to the offposition.

If the machine is not going to be used forsome time, it is advisable to follow theserules:

1. do an empty wash with detergent in orderto clean the machine of any deposits;

2. pull out the electric plug;

3. turn off the water tap;

4. fill the rinse aid container;

5. Ieave the door ajar;

6. keep the inside of the machine clean;

7. If the machine is left in places where thetemperature is below 0°C any water leftinside the pipes may freeze. Wait untilthe temperature rises above zero andthen wait for about 24 hours beforestarting up the dishwasher.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

■ To clean the dishwasher outside, do notuse solvents (degreasing action) neitherabrasives, but only a cloth soaked withwater.

■ The dishwasher does not require specialmaintenance, because the tank isself-cleaning.

■ Regularly wipe the door gasket with adamp cloth to remove any food remainsor rinse aid.

■ It is advisable to remove limestonedeposits or dirt periodically, by doing anempty wash; pour a glass of vinegar onthe bottom of the tank and select thelight wash.

■ If, in spite of the routine cleaning of thefilters, you notice that the dishes or pansare not properly washed or rinsed, checkthat all the spray heads on the rotorarms (fig. A “5”) are clear.

If they are blocked, clean them in thefollowing way:

1. to remove the upper rotor arm, turn ituntil it lines up with the stop markedby the arrow (fig. 1). Push it upwards(fig. 1b) and, keeping it pushed in,unscrew it in a clockwise direction(to reassemble it repeat the sameoperation, but turn it anticlockwise).The lower rotor arm can be removedsimply by pulling it upwards (fig. 2);

2. wash the rotor arms under a jet of waterto clear any blockage in the sprayheads;

3. when you have finished, refit the rotorarms in the same position, rememberingto re-align the arrow and screw intoposition.

■ Both the door lining and the tank liningare in stainless steel; however, shouldspots caused by oxidation occur, this isprobably due to a high level of iron saltspresents in the water.

■ The spots can be removed with a mildabrasive agent; never use chlorinebased materials, steel wool, etc.

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

IMPORTANTThe dishwasher has a very practicalfunction:

- the memory function which savesthe last programme used, so that ifyou regularly use the same washingcycle, you do not have to re-set theprogramme every time, therebysaving time and effort.

"ACTION PRO" button

This button allows you to modify the washintensity, according to how dirty your dishesare, by modifying the wash time andtemperature.Press the button to increase the intensity ofwash cycle ( indicator light) or to reducethe intensity of wash, this also allows you todecrease the wash length time ( indicatorlight).The combination of the button with the 4main wash programmes enables to have 8additional wash cycles (achieving a total of12 programmes of washing).

IMPORTANTWhen the dishwasher is switched on,the setting last used will be indicated.

Programme settings

■ Open the door and place the dirty dishesinside the appliance.

■ Press the "ON/OFF" button . Thedisplay will show the last programmeused.

■ To set another programme, press the"PROGRAMME SELECTION" button.

■ If you wish, press the "ACTION PRO"button.

■ If you wish to select an option, press thecorresponding button (the indicator lightwill turn on).

The option buttons can be selected ordeselected WHITIN one minute of theprogramme commencing.

■ Press the "START" button.The length of the program will be shown onthe display alternating hours withminutes [I.e: 1 h (1 hour) / 25 (25 minutes)].

■ When the door is shut, after an audiblesignal has sounded, the programme willstart automatically. The display will showthe time remaining to the end of the cycle.

WITHIN one minute of the programmecommencing, another programmecan be selected, simply by pressingthe "PROGRAMME SELECTION"button (it is also possible to changethe "ACTION PRO" button setting ).

“AUTOMATIC” programmes The dishwasher is equipped with a dirtsensor, able to analyse water murkinessduring all "AUTOMATIC" programmephases (see programme list); thanks tothis sensor the washing cycle parametersare automatically adapted to the realquantity of dirt on dishes. Thus excellentwashing results are guaranteed whileoptimising water and energy consumption.

In the water-stop system the leaking water fills the corrugated hose and activates astop valve which cuts off the water supply to the machine.This fault is shown by a red sector on the window «A».Would this occur, please refer to your Service Agent.If the hose is not long enough for correct connection, it must be replaced with a longerone. The hose can be obtained from your Service Agent.

N.B.: Should any of the situations occur and should the machine give a bad wash performance,it is necessary to remove the deposits from the dishes by hand since the final drying cycle hardens thedeposits which a second wash in the machine would not be able to remove.If the malfunction continues contact a Service Centre quoting the serial number of the dishwasher.This is found on the plaque on the inside of the dishwasher door at the top or on the guarantee. This information will make it possible to take more effective action more quickly.
