above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
■ The dishwasher is designed for normal kitchen utensils. Objects that have been contamined by petrol, paint, traces of steel or iron, corrosive chemicals, acids or alkalis must not be washed in the dishwasher. WARNING ! Knives and other utensils with sharp points must be loaded in the basket with their points down or placed in a horizontal position. ■ If there is a water softening device installed in the home there is no need to add salt to the water softener fitted in the dishwasher.
WATER CONNECTION IMPORTANT The appliance must be connected to the water mains using new hose-sets. The old hose-sets should not be reused. 1 ■ The inlet and drain hoses can be directed to left or right. IMPORTANT The dishwasher can be connected to either cold or hot water, as long as it is no hotter than 60°C. ■ Water pressure must be between 0,08 MPa and 0,8 MPa. 2 ■ The inlet hose must be connected to a tap so that the water supply can be cut off when the machine is not in use (fig. 1 B).
■ 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 ■ The outlet hose should disharge into a standpipe, making sure that there are no kinks (fig. 4). ■ When installing the appliance under a worktop the hose pipe clamp must be attached to the wall in the highest possible position under the worktop (fig. 4Z).
■ The salt dispenser has a capacity of between 1.5 and 1.8 kg and, for efficient use of the appliance, it should be refilled from time to time according to the regulation of the water softener unit. LOADING THE SALT ■ The appearance of white stains on dishes is generally a warning sign that the salt container needs filling. ■ On the bottom of the machine there is a container for the salt for regenerating the softener.
ADJUSTMENT OF THE UPPER BASKET 1 If 29 cm to 32,5 cm plates are normally used, load them onto the lower basket after the upper basket has been placed in its upper position and proceed as detailed below: 1. Pull out the upper basket; 2 2. Then grasp the basket from both sides and lift it upwards (fig. 1). a b a Dishes that are bigger than 20 cm in diameter can no longer be loaded onto the upper basket and the mobile supports cannot be used when the basket is in the upper position.
A standard daily load is represented in figs. 1, 2 and 3. LOADING DISHES Using the upper basket Upper basket (fig. 1) A = soup plates B = dinner plates C = dessert plates D = saucers E = cups F = glasses ■ The upper basket is provided with mobile racks hooked to the sides of the basket, which can be regulated into 4 positions. ■ In the lowered position (A-A1) the racks may be used for such items as: tea and coffee cups, kitchen knives and ladles.
- POSITION “B”: for dishes which, although standard size, have a particular shape (very deep bowls, square dishes or ones without borders etc.). Upper basket (fig. 3) A = glasses B = saucers C = cups D = small bowl E = medium bowl F = large bowl G = dessert plate H = serving spoons I = ladle L = cutlery 3 - POSITION “C”: for larger than average flat plates and/or ones with nonstandard shapes (square, hexagonal, oval, pizza dishes etc.).
Please load the dishwasher sensibly to ensure the best wash results. A standard daily load is represented in figs. 7 and 8. Lower basket (fig. 7) A = medium-sized saucepan B = large saucepan C = frying pan D = tureens, serving dishes E = cutlery F = oven dishes G = medium bowl H = small bowl IMPORTANT The lower basket has a safety-stop device, for its safe extraction, also especially useful with a full load.
LOADING THE DETERGENT The detergent IMPORTANT It is essential to use a detergent that is specifically designed for dishwashers either in powder, liquid or tablet form. B After pouring the detergent into the container, close the lid, firstly pushing (1) and then pressing on it (2) until you hear the click. “FINISH” gives very good results and can be easily obtained.
■ 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.
LOADING THE RINSE AID The rinse aid The rinse aid, which is automatically released during the last rinsing cycle, helps the dishes to dry quickly and prevents spots and stains forming. Filling the rinse aid container C The rinse aid container can be found to the left of the detergent container (fig. A "3"). To open the lid, push the reference mark and, in the same time, pull the tab of opening. It is always advisable to use rinse aid that is specifically designed for dishwasher.
CLEANING THE FILTERS 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; a micro filter, located beneath the gauze, that traps the tiniest particles ensuring a perfect rinse. ■ To achieve excellent results every time, the filters should be checked and cleaned after each wash. ■ To remove the filter unit, simply turn the handle anticlockwise (fig. 1).
PRATICAL HINTS How to make savings ■ If you want the dishwasher to give a complete wash, place the dishes in the dishwasher at the end of each meal and if necessary turn on the COLD RINSE cycle to soften the food remains and remove bigger particles of food from the new load of dishes. When the dishwasher is full start the complete wash cycle programme.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE 1 1b ■ To clean the dishwasher outside, do not use solvents (degreasing action) neither abrasives, but only a cloth soaked with water. ■ 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. 2 ■ Dishwasher cleaning is recommended, in order to remove limestone deposits or dirt.

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 and the display will flash the remaining time before the end of the cycle. Close the door, without pressing any buttons. The cycle will start from where it left off.
If there is any break in the power supply while the dishwasher is operating, a special memory stores the selected programme and, when the power is restored, it continues where it left off. IMPORTANT This option is recommended when using the RAPID 24' program, the duration of which will be extended for about 15 minutes, allowing the detergent tablets to achieve a better performance.
Proceed as follows to cancel a delayed start: 4. Press the same button again ("b0" will appear on the display to indicate that the alarm is off). ■ Hold the "RESET" button down for at least 3 seconds. "00" will appear on the display and some audible signals will sound. 5. Turn off the dishwasher by pressing the "ON/OFF" button to confirm the new setting. To turn the alarm on again, follow the same procedure. ■ The delayed start and the selected programme will be cancelled.
5. Turn off the dishwasher by pressing the "ON/OFF" button to confirm the new setting. WARNING! To ensure the correct operation of the anti-overflow safety device, we recommend that the dishwasher is not moved or tilted during operation. If however it is necessary to tilt or move the dishwasher, please ensure that the washing cycle is complete and that there is no remaining water inside the dishwasher. To disable the memorization, follow the same procedure.

AQUASTOP-SYSTEM The water-stop device protects against water damages caused by leaks on the fill hose which could develop due to natural ageing of the hose. In the water-stop system the leaking water fills the corrugated hose and activates a stop valve which cuts off the water supply to the machine. This fault is shown by a red sector on the window . 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 longer one.
WATER SOFTENER UNIT * The softener unit is set in the factory at level 4 (d4) as this satisfies the requirements of the majority of users. Depending on the source of the supply, water contains varying amounts of limestone and minerals which are deposited on the dishes leaving whitish stains and marks. The higher the level of these minerals present in the water, the harder the water is.
IDENTIFYING MINOR FAULTS Should the dishwasher fail to operate, before contacting the Service Centre, make the following checks: FAULT 1 - Machine completely dead 2 - Machine does not draw water 3 - Machine does not discharge water 4 - Machine discharges water continuously 5 - Spray arms are not heard to rotate 6 - On electronic appliances without a display: one or more indicator lights flashing quickly.
