SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING ! Knives and other utensils with sharp points must be loaded in the basket with their points down or placed in a horizontal position. There are certain basic safety rules which are valid for any domestic appliance. Installation Daily use ■ Make sure that the plug fitted to the machine is compatible with the power supply socket.
■ If you wish to dispose of an old dishwasher be careful to remove the door to eliminate the risk of children becoming trapped inside it. Disposal ■ The dishwasher has been made from materials which can be recycled so that it can be disposed of in an environmentally friendly way. ■ Fit a suitable plug, as follows: INSTALLATION (Technical notes) Connect ■ After unpacking, adjust the height of the dishwasher. For the dishwasher to work correctly it must be level.
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. 2 ■ Water pressure must be between 0,08 MPa and 0,8 MPa. If the pressure is below the minimum consult our service department for advice.
■ 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).
INSTALLATION IN FITTED KITCHENS Underneath existing work top (when fitting beneath a work top) Fitting between existing cabinets ■ 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).
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.
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.
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 14 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 and 2. LOADING DISHES Upper basket (fig. 1) Using the upper basket 1 ■ 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. Also glasses with stems may be safely hung on the ends of the racks. A A1 Upper basket (fig.
■ The lower basket is fitted with a special adjustable central rack (fig. 3 and 4). This permits stable and optimum loading, even when the size and/or shape of the dishes is non-standard. 5 - POSITION “A”: for a standard load, or one that excludes pans, salad bowls and the like. - POSITION “B”: for dishes which, although standard size, have a particular shape (very deep bowls, square dishes or ones without borders etc.). A B A standard daily load is represented in fig. 6.
A standard daily load is represented in fig. 7. Using the third basket ■ The third basket has been designed to load items such as utensils of small dimensions or flat and long shaped items. By freeing the lower baskets from these objects, loading big-size items becomes more comfortable and easier, making it possible for instance to load plates and pots in the lower basket. Third basket (fig.
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.
