Should the appliance be sold or transferred to another owner, or should you move house and leave the appliance, always ensure that the book is left with the appliance in order that the new owner can get to know the functioning of the appliance and the relevant safety information. Your dishwasher in day-to-day use ● Items that are contaminated by petrol, paint, steel or iron debris, corrosive, acidic or alkaline chemicals must not be washed in this dishwasher. ● This information has been provided in the interest of your safety. You MUST read it carefully before installing or using the appliance. Under no circumstances should you open the door whilst the appliance is in operation, especially during the washing phase, hot water may escape. However, if the door is opened, a safety device ensures that the machine stops. ● Only use products (detergent, salt and rinse aid) specifically designed for use in dishwashers. Installation ● 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. ● Check your dishwasher for any transport damage. Never connect a damaged machine. If your dishwasher is damaged, you should contact your supplier. ● For safety reasons it is dangerous to alter the specifications or attempt to modify this product in any way. ● When finishing loading or unloading close the door, as an open door can be a hazard. ● Any electrical and plumbing work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified and competent person. ● Do not sit or stand on the open door. ● Isolate the appliance from the power supply and turn off the water supply after use. ● Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance does not stand on the electrical supply cable. ● This product should be serviced by an authorised service engineer, and only genuine spare parts should be used. ● The sides of the dishwasher must never be drilled to prevent damage to hydraulic components. ● Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the machine yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunctioning. Contact your local consumer services department. Always insist on genuine spare parts. Child safety ● This appliance is designed to be operated by adults. ● Children should not be allowed to tamper with the controls or play with the product. ● Packaging parts may be dangerous for children, who could even be suffocated! You should therefore keep all packaging well away from children. ● The water in your dishwasher is not for drinking. Detergent residues may still be present in your machine. Keep children well away from your dishwasher when the door is open. ● Keep all detergents in a safe place out of children's reach. 2 For the disposing of the appliance please take it to a recycling centre or to your dealer who will, for a small contribution to the costs, dispose it for you. Disposal Dispose of the dishwasher packaging material correctly. All packaging materials can be recycled. Plastic parts are marked with standard international abbreviations: >PE< for polyethylene, e.g. sheet wrapping material. >PS< for polystyrene, e.g. padding material (always CFCfree). >POM< for polyoxymethylene, e.g. plastic clips. Economical and ecological dishwashing Cardboard packaging is manufactured from recycled paper and should be deposited in the waste paper collection for recycling. As and when you cease to use your dishwasher and withdraw it from service, your should render it unserviceable before having it disposed of. Warning! Children at play could lock themselves in your dishwasher or otherwise endanger their lives. Therefore cut off the power supply cable and make the door closing device unusable to prevent children from being trapped inside. ● 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, special salt and rinse aid than is recommended in these operating instructions and by the manufacturer of the respective product. Prior to using for the first time Before using your dishwasher for the first time: Only for dishwasher models with salt refilling indicator light: 1. Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply with the installation instructions If the water softener has been adjusted on level 1 and no salt is being used, the salt refilling indicator light on the control panel, will always remain illuminated when the machine is switched on and the door closed. 2. Remove all packaging from inside the appliance 3. Set the water softener 4. Pour 1 litre of water inside the salt container and then fill with salt Water softener adjustment 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 salts, the harder your water is. Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, German degrees, French degrees and PPM (parts per Million). 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. AA01 Adjustment on the machine The dishwasher is factory set at level 2. If your water is below level 1 it is already soft and therefore there is no need to use salt. In this case adjust the water softener on level 1 without using salt. A 1 2 A B AA04 AA03 Water hardness Adjustment on the machine A B German degrees (°dH) French degrees (°TH) PPM (Parts per Million) Level Use of salt Water softener adjustment 0-4 0-8 0 - 80 1 NO - NO 1 5 - 11 9 - 20 81 - 200 2 YES - NO 1 12 - 22 21 - 40 201 - 400 3 YES + NO 1 23 - 39 41 - 70 401 - 700 4 YES - YES 2 40 - 50 71 - 90 701 - 900 5 YES + YES 2 3 Filling with salt Rinse aid Only use salt specifically designed for use in dishwashers. 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 washing programmes (except the Rinse and Hold programme). 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. Rinse aid can be added in one of two ways: ● If you are using dishwasher detergent that already contains rinse aid, the detergent including the rinse aid is placed in the detergent compartment. - In this case the rinse aid compartment must be empty. If in the rinse aid dispenser there is still rinse aid you must wait until it has finished before using detergent that contains rinse aid. ● If you are using dishwasher detergent and rinse aid separately, the rinse aid is to be put into the rinse aid dispenser. - In this case the rinse aid dosage must be set in position from 1 to 6 (see "Adjusting the dose") and the rinse aid indicator light activated. 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. LE SA UT ZO LT SA LZ SA L SE 4. Replace the cap making sure that there is no trace of salt on the screw thread or on the gasket. Filling with rinse aid 1. Open the container by turning the lid (A) anticlockwise. 5. Screw on the cap tightly. 2. Fill with rinse aid exactly up to the level indicator marked "max". SR14 The salt container will require topping up periodically. According to the model of dishwasher, you are reminded of this by: A) The salt cap has a refill indicator window in the centre. A green float is clearly visible when there is salt inside the container and almost disappears when the salt has finished reminding you to add salt. BR01 BR13 Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill. 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 dosage, position 6 maximum dosage). SR11 Increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on the dishes after washing. B) A salt indicator light on the control panel will come on when the salt has finished. 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. The dose is factory set in position 5. Reduce it if there are sticky whitish streaks on the dishes. Do not worry if water over flows from the unit when filling with salt, this is quite normal. BR02 4 Top up with rinse aid when: Use of "3 in 1" combi detergent tablets 1. The indicator (B) becomes clear. General advice 2. Only for dishwasher models with rinse aid indicator light: When the rinse aid indicator light on the control panel illuminates. These products are tablets with 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 strictly used according to the detergent manufacturers instructions. 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. Clean up any rinse aid spilt during BR03 filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next wash. 3. If you encounter problems when using 3 in 1 products for the first time then please contact the detergent manufacturers care line (the telephone number is given on the product packaging). 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. Special advice When using combination products, the rinse-aid and salt indicators are no longer useful (please note that only some dishwashers have these options). Select the lowest possible setting for water hardness. Use of detergent Only use detergents specifically designed for use in dishwashers. Using no more then the correct amount of detergent contributes to reducing pollution. For more information please refer to the instruction manual. If you decide to turn back to the use of the standard detergent system we advise that you: Prior to the start of a wash programme (not for the "Rinse and Hold" programme). The detergent is released during the washing phase. ● Refill both the salt container and rinse aid dispenser. Please observe the manufacturer’s dosing and storage recommendations as stated on the detergent packaging. ● Switch the water hardness setting to the highest possible position and run a normal washing programme without a load. Fill with detergent ● Readjust the water hardness setting again according to the hardness of the water in your area. 1. Open the dispenser by pulling the catch (A). The lid springs open. 2. Fill the detergent dispenser with detergent. The marking indicates the dosing levels: Min = approximately 15 g of detergent Max = approximately 30 g of detergent Concentrated detergent Based on their chemical composition, dishwasher detergents can be split into two basic types: 3. Close the lid and press until it locks in place. - conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components. - low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes. 4. All programmes with prewash need an additional detergent dose (5 g) that must be placed over the lid of the dispenser. This detergent will take effect during the prewash phase. 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. Detergent tablets DE17 Detergent tablets of different brands dissolve at different speeds. For this reason some detergent tablets cannot develop their full cleaning power during short programmes. Therefore please use normal programmes with prewash when using detergent tablets. DE02 5 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....). 7. Put the flat filter back in the base of the washing compartment. 8. Place the coarse/fine filter in the microfilter and press together. Ensure that the seals around the door, the detergent and rinse aid dispensers are cleaned regularly with a damp cloth. 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. We recommend every 3 months to run a 65°C wash programme without dishes using detergent. Under no circumstances may the dishwasher be used without filters. Cleaning the filters The filters in the base of the washing compartment are to a large extent self-cleaning. Nevertheless the filters should be checked and cleaned from time to time. Dirty filters will degrade the washing result. To ensure a correct working of the dishwasher, NEVER try to remove the upper spray arm. 1. Open the door, remove the lower basket. If residues of soil have clogged the holes in the upper spray arm, remove them with a toothpick. 2. The dishwasher filter system comprises a coarse/fine filter (A/B), a microfilter (C) and a flat filter (D). Some dishwasher models filter system comprises only a coarse filter (A), a microfilter (C) and a flat filter (D). Unlock the filter system using the handle on the microfilter, and remove. MA33 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. Fill the rinse aid dispenser. 3. Leave the door ajar to prevent the formation of any unpleasant smells. 4. Leave the inside of the machine clean. Frost precautions MA35 MA32 3. Turn the handle about 1/4 a turn anticlockwise and remove. 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. 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. MA15 4. Take hold of the coarse/fine filter (A/B) by the handle with the hole and remove from the microfilter (C). 5. Clean all filters thoroughly under running water. 6. Remove the flat filter (D) from the base of the washing compartment and clean both faces thoroughly. MA31 6 What to do, when... 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. ...there are problems when operating the dishwasher The dishwasher will not start or stops during operation. All push buttons are inoperative except for the On/Off push button. Press the On/Off push button to switch the dishwasher off and carry out the following suggested corrective actions. Malfunction The machine does not fill with water. The dishwasher will not drain. The programme does not start There is a whistling noise during washing Possible cause Solutions The water tap is blocked or furred with limescale. Clean the water tap. The water tap is turned off. Turn the water tap on. The filter (where present) in the threaded hose fitting at the water inlet valve is blocked. Clean the filter in the threaded hose fitting. The water inlet hose has not been correctly laid or it is bent or squashed. Check the water inlet hose connection. The siphon is blocked. Clean out the siphon. The water drain hose has not been correctly laid or it is bent or squashed. Check the water drain hose connection. The dishwasher door has not been properly closed. Close the door. The main plug is not plugged in. Insert the mains plug. The fuse has blown in the household fuse box. Replace the fuse. For dishwasher models with delay start option: Delay start has been selected. If dishes are to be washed immediately, cancel the delay start. The whistling is not a cause for concern. Use a different brand of detergent. Once the checks have been carried out, press the On/Off push button, the programme will continue from the point in which it was interrupted. If the malfunction reappears contact the consumer services department. ...the wash results are not satisfactory The dishes are not clean ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● The wrong washing programme has been selected. The dishes were arranged in such a way as to stop water reaching all parts of the surface. The baskets must not be overloaded. The spray arms do not rotate freely due to wrong arrangement of the load. The filters in the base of the washing compartment are dirty or incorrectly positioned. Too little or no detergent has been used. Where there are limescales deposits on the dishes; the salt container is empty or the wrong level of the water softener has been selected. The drain hose connection is not correct. The salt container cap is not properly closed. The dishes are wet and dull ● ● Rinse aid was not used. The rinse aid dispenser is empty. There are streaks, milky spots or a bluish coating on glasses and dishes ● Decrease rinse aid dosing. Water drops have dried onto glasses and dishes ● ● Increase rinse aid dosing. The detergent may be the cause. Contact the detergent manufacturer’s consumer care line. 7 If after all these checks, the problem persists, contact your local consumer services department, quoting the model (Mod.), product number (PNC) and serial number (S.N.). This information can be found on the rating plate located on the right hand side of the dishwasher door (see picture). Service and spare parts This product should be serviced by an authorised service engineer, and only genuine spare parts should be used. Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the machine yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunctioning.

RA08 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 outlet hose connection The end of the drain hose can be connected in the following ways: Remove all packaging before positioning the machine. 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. If possible, position the machine next to a water tap and a drain. 2. Hooked over the edge of the sink using the special curved plastic guide provided (if provided with the machine). Water supply connections 3. To a stand pipe provided with vent-hole, minimum internal diameter 4 cm. This dishwasher may be fed with either hot (max. 60°) or cold water (See "Technical specifications" - Instruction book part 2). 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. 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 The dishwasher must not be connected to open hot water appliances or instantaneous water heaters. Ensure the hose is not bent or squashed as this could prevent or slow down the discharge of water. 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. The sink plug must not be in place when the machine is draining as this could cause the water to siphon back into the machine. The water inlet hose must not be kinked, crushed, or entangled when it is being connected up. The dishwasher features fill and drain hoses which can be turned either to the left or the right to suit the installation. 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. 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. 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. Do not use, for connection, old hoses which have been used in another appliance. 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. CS18 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. 8 Electrical connection Information concerning the electrical connection is given on the rating plate on the edge of the dishwasher’s door on the right. 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. 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. To isolate the dishwasher from mains, remove the mains plug. Important! The plug must still be accessible after the appliance has been installed. In case that the electrical cable has to be replaced, please contact your local consumer services department. Safety standards require the appliance to be earthed. The manufacture accepts no liability for failure to observe the above safety precautions. This appliance complies with the following E.E.C. Directives: - 73/23 or 19.2.73 (Low Voltage Directive) and subsequent modifications; - 89/336 or 3.5.89 (Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive) and subsequent modifications. 9 152971 06/0 subject to change with notice - Salvo modificaciones - Con riserva di modifiche 0 02/03
