SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS There are certain basic safety rules which are valid for any domestic appliance. ■ The door should not be left in the open position since this could present a potential hazard ( es. tripping ). INSTALLATION ■ Leaning or sitting on the open door of the dishwasher could cause it to tip over. ■ After unpacking, adjust the height of the dishwasher. For the dishwasher to work correctly it must be level. Adjust the feet so that the machine does not tilt by more than 2 degrees.
Water connection ■ The hose can be hooked over the side of the sink, but it must not be immersed in water, in order to prevent water from being syphoned back to the machine when this is in operation (fig. 4Y). Connecting the outlet hose IMPORTANT The appliance must be connected to the water mains using new hose-sets. The old hose-sets should not be reused. 1 ■ The outlet hose should disharge into a standpipe, making sure that there are no kinks (fig. 4).
Underneath existing work top (when fitting beneath a work top) ■ In most modern fitted kitchens there is only one single work top under which cabinets and electrical appliances are fitted. In this case remove the work top of the dishwasher by unscrewing the screws under the rear edge of the top (fig. 6a). IMPORTANT After removing the work top, the screws MUST BE screwed again under the rear edge of the top (fig. 6b).
LOADING THE SALT IMPORTANT (Only for first start up) When the appliance is used for the first time, after completely filling the salt container, it is necessary to add water until the container overflows. ■ On the bottom of the machine there is a container for the salt for regenerating the softener. ■ It is important to use only a salt that is specifically designed for dishwasher.
A standard daily load is represented in figs. 1 and 2. LOADING DISHES Upper basket (fig. 1) A = soup plates B = dinner plates C = dessert plates Using the upper basket ■ The upper basket is provided with mobile racks hooked to the sides of the basket which can be regulated in two positions: upright and lowered. In the lowered position the racks may be used for tea and coffee cups, kitchen knives and ladles. Glasses with stems may be safely hung on the ends of the racks.

■ the effectiveness of detergents containing the built in water softener/salt depends on the hardness of your water supply. Check that the hardness of your water supply is within the effective range given on the detergent packaging. TYPES OF DETERGENT Detergent tablets Detergent tablets of different manufacturers dissolve at different speeds, for this reason, during short programmes, some detergent tablets may be not fully effective, because they are not completely dissolved.
CLEANING THE FILTERS PRATICAL HINTS The filter system (fig.A “4”) consists of: 1 a central container that traps the larger particles; a flat gauze that continuously filters the wash water; ■ Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove any remaining food (bones, shells, pieces of meat or vegetables, coffee grounds, skin of fruit, cigarette ash, tooth picks etc. to avoid blocking the filters, water outlet and washing arm nozzles.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE 1 1b DESCRIPTION OF THE CONTROL PANEL F ■ To clean the dishwasher outside, do not use solvents (degreasing action) neither abrasives, but only a cloth soaked with water. G H I D E ■ The dishwasher does not require special maintenance, because the tank is self-cleaning. ■ Regularly wipe the door gasket with a damp cloth to remove any food remains or rinse aid.
PROGRAMME SELECTION AND SPECIAL FUNCTIONS Programme interruption Opening the door when a programme is running is not recommended especially during the main wash and final hot rinse phases. However, if the door is opened while a programme is running (for example, to add dishes) the machine stops automatically. Close the door, without pressing any buttons. The cycle will start from where it left off.
■ Press the "DELAY START" button to set another delayed start time (the corresponding indicator light will turn on). Fault signals If malfunctions or faults occur when a programme is running the indicator light that corresponds to the selected cycle (2 indicator lights for the "COLD RINSE" programme) will flash rapidly and the alarm sounds. In this event, turn the dishwasher off by pressing the "ON/OFF" button.
