INSTALLATION

Remove all packaging before positioning the machine.

Positioning

If possible, position the machine next to a water tap and a drain.

The sides and the back of the dishwasher can rest against the adjacent furniture or the wall.

The dishwasher features fill and drain hoses which can be turned either to the left or the right to suit the installation.

Levelling

Good levelling is essential for correct closure and sealing of the door.

If the door does not close correctly, loosen or tighten the adjustable support feet, until the machine is perfectly level.

Installing and Securing the Machine Under a Kitchen Unit (Sink-Worktop Unit)

By removing the machine's worktop, you can install it under a close fitting sink unit or a pre-existing top, if the dimensions of the recess correspond to those shown in the picture.

Then proceed as follows:

Remove the machine worktop by unscrewing the two front retaining screws, pull from the front and slide out the rear slots, lifting the worktop.

Insert the machine after adjusting the height and levelling with the adjustable feet. When inserting the machine, ensure that the water inlet and drain hoses are not kinked or squashed.

Water Outlet Connection

The end of the drain hose can be connected as follows: to the sink outlet siphon, securing it if necessary with a clip; to a wall outlet provided with vent-hole, minimum internal diameter 4 cm; hooked over the edge of the sink using the special curved plastic guide provided.

The waste connection must be at a height of between

30 cm (minimum) and 100 cm (maximum) from the floor.

It makes no difference which way the drain hose faces, either to the right or left of the dishwasher.

Avoid bending or kinking the hose as this could prevent or slow down the discharge of water.

If you use a drain hose extension it must be no longer than 2 metres and its internal diameter must be no smaller than the diameter of the hose provided.

Likewise the internal diameter of the couplings used for connection to the waste outlet must be no smaller than the diameter of the drain hose.

Water Supply Connections

This dishwasher may be fed with either hot (max.

60°C) or cold water.

Nevertheless we advise you a cold water supply.

A hot water supply is not always efficient with very soiled crockery as it shortens the washing programmes a lot.

Feeding the appliance with a hot water supply (max.

60°C) will allow you to obtain considerably shorter programmes.

For making the connection itself, the coupling nut fitted to the machine's supply hose is designed to screw onto either a 3/4 inch gas thread spout, or to a purpose-made quick-coupling tap such as the Press-

Block.

The water pressure must be within the limits given in the technical specifications, as it will not function correctly if pressure is outside these specifications.

The water supply hose is fitted with a safety device, which prevents water from entering the machine should the inner hose split, due to wear.

A

The problem is signalled by a red indicator which appears in window (B).

If this happens, close the water tap and have the hose replaced.

B

CA01

Warning: the retaining ring (A) must be properly fitted so as to avoid water leaks.

Note: the end of the hose connected to the machine can be positioned as required, by simply slackening the retaining ring.

Re-tighten the ring securely to avoid water leaks.

CA06

Avoid bends or kinks in the hose, which could prevent or slow down the flow of water.

If the machine is connected to new pipes or pipes which have not been used for a long time, you are advised to run the water for a few minutes before connecting the inlet hose. This will prevent deposits of sand or rust clogging the inlet hose filter.

Electrical connection

Before plugging the appliance into the wall socket, make sure that:

1. the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage given in the technical specifications;

2. the meter, fuses, mains power supply and wall socket can all take the maximum load required.

Make sure that the socket and plug are compatible without having to use any type of adapter. If necessary, have the domestic wiring system socket replaced.

Safety standards require the appliance to be earthed.

The Manufacturer accepts no liability for failure to observe the above safety precautions.

The Water Softener

Water contains varying amounts of lime and mineral salts depending on the area in which you live: these are deposited on the dishes leaving white marks.

The higher the content of these salts, the harder your water will be. The «hardness» level is measured on 2 equivalent scales: German degrees or French degrees. Contact your local Water Authority to find the exact water hardness level for your area.

The dishwasher is equipped with a softener which uses special dishwasher salt to provide lime-free

(softened) water. The softener can treat water hardness up to 90 French degrees via 5 adjustment levels.

Find on the table below the level corresponding to the hardness of your water and the required adjustments:

Important

Salt MUST be used regularly from level 2 upward.

Filling with Salt

Only use salt designed specifically for use in dishwashers. Other types of salt contain high percentages of other substances which may reduce the efficiency of the softener.

Unscrew the cap of the salt container.

SALE

SAL

T

SALZ

SEL

Fill the container with 1 litre of water (this operation is necessary only the first time).

Place approximately 1 kg of dishwasher salt inside using the funnel provided (see figure).

SR02

Replace the cap making sure that there is no trace of salt on the screw thread or on the gasket.

Screw the cap on tightly.

When this has been done, all that is required is to periodically add salt to the container. You are reminded of this by the salt indicator light on the control panel which will normally illuminate when the salt has finished.

The salt container has always some water inside which will normally overflow when refilling with salt.

Important: the salt indicator light on the control panel can remain illuminated for 2-6 hours after salt has been replenished, assuming the dishwasher remains switched on. If you are using salts that take longer to dissolve, then the light remains illuminated for a long period of time. The functioning of the dishwasher is not affected.

Caution

Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete washing programmes (not Rinse and Hold programme). This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been spilled, remaining on the bottom of the machine for any period of time. This could cause corrosion.

PAA18GB

Rinse Aid

The use of this liquid ensures thorough rinsing, spot and streak free drying, making the water run quickly off the dishes for sparkling results. It is automatically added during the hot rinse. The dispenser, which is positioned inside the door, holds about 110 ml of rinse aid, which is sufficient for 16-40 dishwashing programmes, depending upon the dosage setting.

Filling with Rinse Aid

Open the container by turning the lid (A) anticlockwise.

Add rinse aid until the container is completely full (approx. 110 ml). The indicator (B) will be completely dark.

Top up with rinse aid when the indicator (B) becomes clear (approx. 70 - 80 ml).

Remember to CLOSE the lid after every refill.

Cautlon

Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next wash.

Adjusting the Dose

According to the finish and drying results obtained, adjust the dose of rinse aid by means of the 6 position selector (C) (position 1 - minimum dose, position 6 maximum dose). (Start from position 3). Gradually in crease the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on the dishes after washing. Reduce it if there are sticky whitish streaks on the dishes.

To help you to correctly dose the right amount of detergent, inside the container there are two reference marks:

- MIN = 15 ml

- MAX = 30 ml

D E 0 7

All the programmes with prewash required a small extra amount of detergent of approximately 5 g (10 g for the Intensive programme) to be poured over the dispenser’s lid as shown in the picture.

DE02

The amount of detergent to be used varies depending on how soiled the dishes are and the type of dishes being washed. We recommend the amounts shown in the programme chart .

After filling the dispenser with detergent, close the lid.

At the end of any washing programme the lid is always open, ready for the next wash.

Since not all detergents are the same, you should also consult the instructions on the packet.

Remember that insufficient quantities of detergent will produce poor washing results whereas an excessive amount of detergent does not improve washing results and is also wasteful.

Using no more than the correct amount of detergent also contributes to reducing pollution.

BR04

A

Caution: Do not put liquid detergent into the rinse aid compartment

Use of Detergent

Before starting any of the dishwashing programmes, except for the Rinse and Hold programme, load the detergent in the dispenser.

Use only tablets, powder or liquid detergents specifically designed for domestic dishwashers.

Unsuitable detergents (such as those for washing by hand) do not contain the right ingredients for machine washing and hamper correct functioning of the machine.

To open the dispenser lid, pull the catch (D).

Phosphate free detergents with enzymes

In these low-alkaline compact powders the environment unfriendly components have been replaced by natural enzymes and other more biodegradable substances. The enzymes deploy their full dirt dissolving power at a temperature as low as 50°C.

By choosing the Bio-programme you can therefore achieve the same cleaning results that would otherwise be achievable only with 65°C programmes and conventional detergents.

These new compact powders are generally phosphate-free. As phosphates have water softening properties, we suggest you add salt to the salt container even if the hardness of your water is as low as 4 °dh (7 °TH).

This will avoid lime deposits on crockery and the inner tub.

PBR07GB

Loading your Machine

Before placing dishes in the machine, remove any scraps of food from the plates (small bones, toothpicks, fish bones, scraps of meat and vegetables, fruit skins etc.) to avoid clogging the filters and consequently reducing performance.

Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes.

Use of the Lower Basket

The lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates (up to 27 cm in diameter), salad bowls, cutlery etc.

Serving dishes and large lids should be arranged around the edge of the basket, ensuring that the upper spray arm can turn freely.

The two rear rows of prongs on the lower basket can be easily lowered to allow you to load pots, pans and bowls.

To lower the prongs: slightly pull them upward and let them drop down

(see picture); to bring them back to the standing position, just pull them up again.

UI18

Use of the Upper Basket

The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates, saucers, dinner plates up to 24 cm in diameter), salad bowls, cups and glasses; these should be arranged as shown in the pictures. Glasses with long stems can be placed upside-down in the raised cupracks.

UI23 IEC 436 / DIN 44990

US08 IEC 436 / DIN 44990

UI24

Cutlery should be placed in the removable cutlery basket with the handles facing downwards. If the handles protrude from the bottom of the basket, obstructing the lower spray arm, load the cutlery with the handles facing upward.

Mix spoons with the other cutlery to prevent them sticking together.

Teaspoons may be loaded into the special slots provided in the cutlery basket handle.

UI10

PCE12GB

US07

The cup-rack on the left folds upwards to increase your loading flexibility.

Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely.

Adjusting the Height of the Upper Basket

If washing very large plates (over 27 cm and up to 31 cm in diameter) you can load them in the lower basket after moving the upper basket to the higher position as follows:

A

Move the front runner stops

(A) of the upper basket outward and slide the basket out.

Refit the basket in the higher position and replace the stops (A) in their original position.

RC01

When the top basket is in the higher position it will only take plates up to 20 cm in diameter and you will not be able to use the raised cup racks.

HELPFUL HINTS

For Best Washing Results:

Before loading, remove all scraps of food and soak very heavily soiled pots and pans.

Always arrange saucepans, cups and glasses etc.

upside-down.

Tilt items with convex or concave surfaces so that the water drains off easily.

Long items of cutlery such as ladles, carving knives etc. should be positioned horizontally in the upper basket.

Avoid contact between the dishes as far as possible; correct arrangement of the items will give better washing results.

Light items (plastic bowls etc.) should be loaded in the upper basket and arranged so that they do not move during washing.

You will improve drying results by leaving the dishwasher door ajar for at least 15-30 minutes as soon as the programme finishes.

To Save Energy

Do not prewash dishes under running water.

Place dishes in the machine immediately after every meal and wait until the dishwasher is full before washing.

If necessary run the Rinse and Hold programme (see

Programme Chart on the following pages), so that any food scraps do not become caked on the dishes while you are waiting to run the complete wash programme.

Select an ECONOMIC programme when the baskets are not very full and/or when the dishes are not very soiled, following the instructions given in the

Programme Chart (ECONOMY, BIO, QUICK programmes).

Items not Suitable for Dishwashers

The following should not be washed in the dishwasher:

Cutlery or dishes with wooden or horn handles or glued parts.

Handmade items, wooden objects, antiques or handpainted china.

Certain types of decoration can discolour when washed in a dishwasher.

Crystal-ware and plastic objects, if not guaranteed dishwasher-proof, should be washed by hand. You are advised to place them in the upper basket and to select a delicate programme.

Certain types of glass can also become opaque after being washed several times in a dishwasher.

Silver cutlery tends to go black if mixed with steel cutlery. Place it in the cutlery basket separate from the others.

Iron and cast iron objects can rust and stain other items.

Aluminium tends to go black; copper, pewter and brass tend to stain.

Caution: You are advised not to load very small items which can fall through the baskets.

Note: When buying new dishes, ensure that they are dishwasher-proof.
