Economical and ecological dishwashing 20 ● Ensure that the water softener is correctly adjusted. ● Do not pre-wash under running water. ● Select the wash programme to suit the nature and degree of the soiling on the dishes. ● Do not use more detergent, dishwasher salt and rinse aid than is recommended in these operating instructions and by the manufacturer of the respective product. Installation instructions Any electrical and/or plumbing work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician and/or plumber or competent person. Water supply connections This dishwasher may be fed with either hot (max. 60°) 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. Remove all packaging before positioning the machine. If possible, position the machine next to a water tap and a drain. For making the connection itself, the coupling nut fitted to the machine’s supply hose is designed to screw onto a 3/4" inch gas thread spout or to a purpose made quick-coupling tap such as the Press-block. Building-in The water pressure must be within the limits given in the "Technical specifications". Your local Water Authority will advise you on the average mains pressure in your area. This dishwasher is designed to be fitted under a kitchen counter or worksurface. Attention! Carefully follow the instructions on the enclosed template for building in the dishwasher and fitting the furniture panel. The water inlet hose must not be kinked, crushed, or entangled when it is being connected. The dishwasher features fill and drain hoses which can be turned either to the left or the right to suit the installation by means of the locknut. The locknut must be correctly fitted to avoid water leaks. (Attention! NOT all models of dishwashers have fill and drain hoses provided with locknut. In this case, this kind of facility is not possible). No further openings for the venting of the dishwasher are required, but only to let the water fill and drain hose and power supply cable pass through. The dishwasher incorporates adjustable feet to allow the adjustment of the height. During all operations that involve accessibility to internal components the dishwasher has to be unplugged. If the machine is connected to new pipes or pipes which have not been used for a long time, you should run the water for a few minutes before connecting the inlet hose. When inserting the machine, ensure that the water inlet hose, the drain hose and the supply cable are not kinked or squashed. Do not use, for connection, old hoses which have been used with another appliance. The dishwasher is fitted with safety devices that prevent the wash water returning into the drinking water system and comply with the applicable plumbing regulations. Levelling Good levelling is essential for correct closure and sealing of the door. When the appliance is correctly levelled, the door will not catch on either side of the cabinet. If the door does not close correctly, loosen or tighten the adjustable feet until the machine is perfectly level. Water inlet hose with safety valve After connecting the double-walled water inlet hose, the safety valve is next to the tap. Therefore the water inlet hose is only under pressure while the water is running. If the water inlet hose starts to leak during this operation, the safety valve cuts off the running water. Fixing to the adjacent units The dishwasher must be secured against tilting. Therefore make sure that the counter it is fixed under, is suitably secured to a fixed structure (adjacent kitchen units cabinets, wall). Please take care when installing the water inlet hose: - The electrical cable for the safety valve is in the doublewalled water inlet hose. Do not immerse the water inlet hose or the safety valve in water. - If water inlet hose or the safety valve is damaged, remove the mains plug immediately. - A water inlet hose with safety valve must only be replaced by a specialist or by the Service Force Centre. - Place the water inlet hose in such a way that it is never higher than the bottom edge of the safety valve. 21 Water outlet hose connection Electrical connection The end of the drain hose can be connected in the following ways: Information concerning the electrical connection is given on the rating plate on the edge of the dishwasher’s door. 1. To the sink outlet spigot, securing it to the underside of the work surface. This will prevent waste water from the sink running into the machine. Before plugging the appliance into the wall socket, make sure that: 1. The mains voltage and current rating at the site of installation match the nominal voltage and current rating given on the rating plate. 2. Hooked over the edge of the sink using the special curved plastic guide (if provided with the machine). 3. To a stand pipe provided with vent-hole, minimum internal diameter 4 cm. 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 adaptor. If necessary, have the domestic wiring system socket replaced. The waste connection must be at a height of between 30 cm (minimum) and 100 cm (maximum) from the bottom of the dishwasher. The drain hose can face either to the right or left of the dishwasher To isolate the dishwasher from mains, remove the mains plug. Important! The plug must still be accessible after the appliance has been installed. Ensure the hose is not bent or squashed as this could prevent or slow down the discharge of water. The sink plug must not be in place when the machine is draining as this could cause the water to syphon back into the machine. In case that the electrical cable has to be replaced, please contact your local Service Force Centre. The appliance should not be connected to the electrical supply by means of an extension cable. 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. Safety standards require the appliance to be earthed. The manufacture accepts no liability for failure to observe the above safety precautions. Likewise the internal diameter of the couplings used for connections to the waste outlet must be no smaller than the diameter of the hose provided. Attention! Our appliances are supplied with a security device to protect against the return of dirty water back into the machine. If the spigot of your sink has a "no return valve" incorporated this can prevent the correct draining of your dishwasher. We advise you therefore to remove it. 22 Description of the appliance 1.

Set the water softener 4. Pour 1 litre of water inside the salt container and then fill with dishwasher salt 5. Fill the rinse aid dispenser The water softener The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener designed to remove minerals and salts from the water supply, which would have a detrimental or adverse effect on the operation of the appliance. The higher the content of these minerals and salts, the harder your water is. Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, German degrees (°dH), French degrees (°TH) and mmol/l (millimol per litre - international unit for the hardness of water). The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water in your area. Your local Water Authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area. 2. Press and keep pressed the programme selection/cancel button until programme indicator light 1 flashes and programme indicator light 2 illuminates with a fixed light. Wait until programme indicator light 2 turns off, programme indicator light 1 goes on flashing and simultaneously the end of programme indicator light starts flashing. This indicates that you have activated the electronic setting function of the water softener. The water softener must be set in both ways: manually, using the water hardness dial and electronically, by the means of the programme selection/cancel button. The current level is indicated by a sequence of flashes of the end of programme indicator light, a sequence of intermittent audible signals and a pause of a few seconds (see chart). Example: 5 flashes/5 audible signals + pause + 5 flashes/5 audible signals etc...= level 5 a) Setting manually 1. Open the dishwasher door. 2. Remove the lower basket from the dishwasher. 3. To change the level, press the programme selection/cancel button. Each time the button is pressed the level changes. (For the selection of the new level, see chart). 3. Turn the water hardness dial to position 1 or 2 (see table). 4. Replace the lower basket. The dishwasher is factory set at position 2. Examples: if the current level is 5, by pressing the programme selection/cancel button once, level 6 is selected. if the current level is 10, by pressing the programme selection/cancel button once, level 1 is selected. The end of programme indicator light remains off for a few seconds and then starts flashing indicating the new selection is set. 4. To memorise the operation, switch off the machine by pressing the On/Off button or wait for about 60 seconds, after which the machine will automatically return to setting mode.

All other types of salt not specifically designed for use in a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water softener. Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete washing programmes. This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been spilt, remaining on the bottom of the machine for any period of time, which may cause corrosion. Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying. 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 1. Open the container by pressing the release button (A). 2. Add the rinse aid until the container is completely full. The maximum level for filling is indicated by "max". To fill: 1. Open the door, remove the lower basket and unscrew the cap of the salt container by turning it anticlockwise. 2. Pour 1 litre of water inside the container (this is necessary only before filling with salt for the first time). 3. Using the funnel provided, pour in the salt until the container is full. 4. Replace the cap making sure that there is no trace of salt on the screw thread or on the gasket. Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill. Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next wash. 5. Replace on the cap tightly turning it clockwise until it stops with a click. Only use branded rinse aid for dishwashers. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances (e.g. dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This would damage the appliance. The salt container will require topping up periodically. You are reminded of this by the salt indicator light on the control panel which comes on when the salt has finished. Adjusting the dose The salt indicator light on the control panel can remain illuminated for 2-6 hours after the salt has been replenished, assuming the dishwasher remains switched on. If you are using salts that take longer to dissolve then this can take longer. The function of the machine is not affected. According to the finish and drying results obtained, adjust the dose of rinse aid by means of the 6 position selector (position 1 minimum dosage, position 6 maximum dosage). The dose is factory set in position 4. Do not worry if water over flows from the unit when filling with salt, this is quite normal. Increase 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 or a bluish film on glassware or knife blades. Top up the rinse aid when the indicator (B) becomes clear. 26 In daily use ● Check if it’s necessary to refill with dishwasher salt or rinse aid ● Load cutlery and dishes into the dishwasher. ● Fill with dishwasher detergent . ● Select a wash programme suitable for the cutlery and dishes. ● Start the wash programme. Loading cutlery and dishes Sponges, household cloths and any object that can absorb water may not be washed in the dishwasher. ● Before loading the dishes, you should: - Remove large left-overs. - Soften remnants of burnt food in pans ● When loading the dishes and cutlery, please note: - Dishes and cutlery must not impede the rotation of the spray arms . - Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans, etc. with the opening downwards so that water cannot collect in the container or a deep base. - Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another, or cover each other. - To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch. - Lay small objects in the cutlery basket. ● Plastic items and pans with teflon have a tendency to retain water drops; these items will not dry as well as porcelain and steel items. For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery/dishes are of limited suitability: are not suitable: - Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or mother-of-pearl handles - Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it is specifically marked as being dishwasher-safe by the manufacturer. - Plastic items that are not heat resistant - Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed frequently - Older cutlery with glued parts that is not temperature resistant - Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to discolour during washing. Residues, e.g. egg white, egg yolk and mustard often cause discolouring and staining on silver. Therefore always clean left-overs from silver immediately, if it is not to be washed straight after use. - Bonded cutlery items or dishes - Pewter or copper items - Lead crystal glass - Some types of glass can become dull after a large number of washes - Steel items subject to rusting - Wooden platters - Items made from synthetic fibres Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes. The cutlery basket Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard. Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket. Take care when loading or unloading sharp items such as knives. The lower basket The lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery etc. Serving dishes and large lids should be arranged around the edge of the basket, ensuring that the spray arms can turn freely. Forks and spoons should be placed in the removable cutlery basket with the handles facing downwards and the knives with their handles facing upwards. If the handles protrude from the bottom of the basket, obstructing the lower spray arm, load the cutlery with the handles facing upwards. Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent them from sticking together. For best results we recommend you to use the cutlery grid provided (if the size and dimensions of the cutlery allow it). 27 The upper basket Use of detergent The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates, saucers, dinner plates of up to 24 cm in diameter), salad bowls, cups and glasses. Arrange items on and underneath the cup racks so that water can reach all surfaces. Glasses with long stems can be placed upside down in the cup racks. Light items (plastic bowls etc.) must be loaded in the upper basket and arranged so they do not move. Only use detergents specifically designed for use in dishwashers. Using no more than the correct amount of detergent contributes to reducing pollution. Please observe the manufacturer’s dosing and storage recommendations as stated on the detergent packaging. Fill with detergent 1. If the lid is closed: press release button (1). The lid springs open. 2. Fill the detergent dispenser (2) with detergent. The marking indicates the dosing levels: 20 = approximately 20 g of detergent 30 = approximately 30 g of detergent In case that plates are loaded in the upper basket: load them starting from the rear positions of the basket; tilting them slightly forwards and avoiding the front positions near the door. 3. All programmes with prewash need an additional detergent dose (5/10 g) that must be placed in the prewash detergent chamber (3). This detergent will take effect during the prewash phase. Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely. 4. Close the lid and press until it locks in place. Adjusting the height of the upper basket If washing very large plates you can load them in the lower basket after moving the upper basket to the higher position. Maximum height of the dishes in upper basket lower basket With upper basket raised 20 cm 31 cm With upper basket lowered 24 cm 27 cm To move to the higher position proceed as follows: 1. Move the front runner stops (A) of the upper basket outwards and slide the basket out. 2. Refit the basket in the higher position and replace the stops (A) in their original position. When the basket is in the higher position you will not be able to use the cup rack(s). After loading your machine always close the door, as an open door can be a hazard. 28 Different kinds of detergent Detergent tablets Use of "3 in 1" combi detergents Detergent tablets of different brands dissolve at different speeds. For this reason some detergent tablets cannot dissolve and develop their full cleaning power during short programmes. Therefore please use long programmes when using detergent tablets, to ensure the complete removal of detergent residuals. Do not place the tablets in the tub or in the cutlery basket as this will result in poorer wash results. The tablets should be placed in the detergent dispenser. General advice These products are detergents with integrated and combined detergent/rinse-aid and salt functions. 1. Before using these products you should first check that the water hardness in your supply is compatible with the use of these products as per the detergent manufacturers (on the product packaging). 2. These products should be used strictly according to the detergent manufacturers instructions. 3. If you encounter problems when using 3 in 1 products for the first time please contact the detergent manufacturers care line (the telephone number is given on the product packaging). Concentrated detergent Based on their chemical composition, dishwasher detergents can be split into two basic types: - conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components. - low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes. The use of 50°C washing programmes in conjunction with concentrated detergents reduces pollution and is good for your dishes; these wash programmes are specially matched to the dirt-dissolving properties of the enzymes in the concentrated detergent. For this reason 50°C wash programmes in which concentrated detergents are used can achieve the same results that can otherwise only be achieved using 65°C programmes. Special advice When using combination 3 in 1 products select the lowest possible setting for water hardness. If you decide to switch back to the use of the standard detergent system we advise that you: Combi detergents ● Refill both the salt container and rinse aid dispenser. ● Switch the water hardness setting to the highest possible position and run from 1 to 3 normal washing programmes without a load. ● Readjust the water hardness setting again according to the hardness of the water in your area. If you are using dishwasher detergent that includes the rinse aid function, this must be placed in the detergent compartment. In this case the rinse aid dispenser must be empty, in order to avoid a double dosage. If there is still rinse aid in the rinse aid dispenser you must wait until it has finished before using these kind of detergents. NOTE: When using dishwasher detergents with integrated and combined detergent/rinse-aid functions, the refilling of the rinse aid dispenser is no longer necessary. Special salt for dishwasher must still be used. In this case the rinse aid indicator light will always remain illuminated when the machine is switched on (not all dishwasher models are foreseen with rinse aid indicator light). NOTE: When using dishwasher detergents with integrated and combined detergent/rinse-aid/salt functions, the refilling of the salt container and the rinse aid dispenser are no longer necessary. In this case the salt and the rinse aid indicator lights will always remain illuminated when the machine is switched on (not all dishwasher models are foreseen with salt and rinse aid indicator lights). 29 Washing programmes Programme Intensive 70°C Normal 65°C (1) Quick 65°C (2) Eco 50°C Rinse and Hold Degree of soil and type of load Cycle description (3) Consumption values Programme duration Energy consumption Water consumption (in minutes) (in kWh) (in litres) Heavy soil.

This is the perfect daily programme, made to meet the needs of a family of 4 persons who only wish to load breakfast and dinner crockery and cutlery. (2) Testing programme for EN 50242 (see "Hints for Test Centres"). This programme, developed for the use of detergents with enzymes, allows you to achieve, with reduced consumption of energy the same cleaning results that would otherwise be obtained only with the 65°C programmes and conventional detergents. To compensate the lower temperature, the duration of washing and drying have been extended. (3) The consumption values are intended as a guide and depends on the pressure and the temperature of the water and also by the variations of the power supply. 30 Starting a washing programme In this fully integrated appliance the controls are located on the top of the door. When selecting a washing programme, the door needs to be slightly open. 5. End of the washing programme The dishwasher will automatically stop. An audible signal informs you of the end of the washing programme. Open the dishwasher’s door, leave it ajar and wait a few minutes before removing the dishes; in this way they will be cooler and the drying will be improved. The end of programme indicator light is on. The indicator light of the programme just ended is on. Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off button. 1. Check that the baskets have been loaded correctly and that the spray arms can rotate freely 2. Turn on the water tap 6. Unloading the dishwasher Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks. The dishes should therefore be allowed to cool down before removing from the appliance. 3. Setting and starting the washing programme Empty the lower basket first and then the upper one; this will avoid water dripping from the upper basket onto the dishes in the lower one. Press the On/Off button. The end of programme indicator light flashes. Press the programme selection/cancel button and select the desired washing programme. To choose the right washing programme see "Washing programmes" chart). Close the dishwasher’s door, the programme will start automatically. Water may appear on the sides and the door of the dishwasher as the stainless steel will eventually become cooler than the dishes. When the washing programme has finished, it is recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and the water tap turned off. NOTE: the start of the washing programme will occur only after the closure of the door. Until that moment you can modify the selection made. 4. To interrupt or cancel a washing programme in progress Interrupt or cancel a washing programme in progress ONLY if it’s absolutely necessary. Attention! Hot steam may escape when the door is opened. Open the door carefully. Interrupt a washing programme in progress Open the dishwasher’s door; the programme will stop. Close the door; the programme will start from the point at which it was interrupted. Cancel a washing programme in progress Open the dishwasher’s door. Press the programme selection/cancel button for about 3 seconds, until the indicator light of the running programme turns off and the end of programme indicator light flashes, indicating that the running programme has been cancelled and that the machine has returned to setting mode. It is now possible to select another washing programme. If a new washing programme is to be selected, check that there is detergent in the detergent dispenser. NOTE: only during the drying phase, if the dishwasher’s door will be opened and remains open for more then 30 seconds, the running programme will be automatically cancelled and the machine will return to setting mode. This will happen, always only during the drying phase, also when the machine is switched off by pressing the On/Off button and remains switched off for more then 30 seconds. 31 Maintenance and cleaning Clean the external surfaces of the machine and control panel with a damp soft cloth. If necessary use only neutral detergents. Never use abrasive products, scouring pads or solvent (acetone, trichloroethylene etc....). Ensure that the seals around the door, the detergent and rinse aid dispensers are cleaned regularly with a damp cloth. We recommend every 3 months to run a 65°C wash programme without dishes using detergent. Attention! Cleaning the filters If residues of soil have clogged the holes in the upper spray arm, remove them with a cocktail stick. Under no circumstances may the dishwasher be used without filters. Incorrect repositioning and fitting of the filters will produce poor washing results. NEVER try to remove the upper spray arm. The filters must be checked and cleaned from time to time. Dirty filters will degrade the washing result. 1. Open the door, remove the lower basket. 2. The dishwasher filter system comprises a coarse filter (A), a microfilter (B) and a flat filter (C). Unlock the filter system using the handle on the microfilter, and remove. Prolonged periods of non-operation If you are not using the machine for any period of time you are advised to: 1. Unplug the appliance and then turn off the water. 2. Leave the door ajar to prevent the formation of any unpleasant smells. 3. Leave the inside of the machine clean. Frost precautions Avoid placing the machine in a location where the temperature is below 0°C. If this is unavoidable, empty the machine, close the appliance door, disconnect the water inlet pipe and empty it. 3. Turn the handle about 1/4 a turn anticlockwise and remove. Moving the machine If you have to move the machine (moving house etc....): 1. Unplug it. 2. Turn the water tap off. 3. Remove the water inlet and discharge hoses. 4. Pull the machine out together with the hoses. Avoid over tilting the machine during transportation. 4. Take hold of the coarse filter (A) by the handle with the hole and remove from the microfilter (B). 5. Clean all filters thoroughly under running water. 6. Remove the flat filter (C) from the base of the washing compartment and clean both faces thoroughly. 7. Put the flat filter (C) back in the base of the washing compartment. 8. Place the coarse filter (A) in the microfilter (B) and press together. 9. Put the filter combination in place and lock by turning the handle clockwise to the stop. During this process ensure that the flat filter does not protrude above the base of the washing compartment. 32 Something not working Certain problems are due to the lack of simple maintenance or oversights, which can be solved with the help of the instructions given here, without calling out an engineer. ...a fault code appears The dishwasher will not start or stops during operation.
