All the indicator lights will turn off (except for the On/Off indicator light and eventually salt and rinse aid indicator lights) indicating that the setted programme has been cancelled and the machine is now in setting mode.

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, Clarke degrees, French degrees and mmol/l (millimol per litre).

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.

The water softener must be set in both ways: manually, using the water hardness switch and electronically, using the function push buttons on the control panel.

a) Setting manually

1. Open the dishwasher door.

2. Remove the lower basket from the dishwasher.

Filling with salt

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 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.

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.

SEL 4. Replace the cap making sure that there is no trace of salt on the screw thread or on the gasket.

5. Screw on the cap tightly turning it clockwise until it stops with a click.

SR14

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.

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.

Do not worry if water over flows from the unit when filling with salt, this is quite normal.

7

Rinse aid

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".

BR07

BR14

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.

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.

Adjusting the dose

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.

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.

BR09

Top up the rinse aid when the indicator light on the control panel illuminates.

● If you are using dishwasher detergent that already contains rinse aid, it is necessary to deactivate the dosage of rinse aid, in order to avoid a double dosage.

Deactivation/activation of the dosage of rinse aid

(The dishwasher must be switched off)

Factory setting: dosage of rinse aid activated

When the dosage of rinse aid has been deactivated, also the rinse aid indicator light on the control panel is automatically deactivated.

1. Press the On/Off push button. The On/Off indicator light illuminates (setting mode).

I f a programme push button indicator light is on, this means that a washing programme has been selected. The programme must be cancelled: press simultaneously the function push buttons 2 and 3 for about 2 seconds. All the indicator lights will turn off (except for the On/Off indicator light and eventually salt and rinse aid indicator lights) indicating that the setted programme has been cancelled and the machine is now in setting mode.

2. Press simultaneously function push buttons 2 and 3, until the indicator lights of the function push buttons 1, 2 and 3 start flashing.

3. Press the function push button 2, the indicator lights of function push buttons 1 and 3 turn off while the indicator light of the function push button 2 goes on flashing, the digital display indicates the current setting.

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.

are not suitable:

- Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or mother-of-pearl handles

- Plastic items that are not heat resistant

- Older cutlery with glued parts that is not temperature resistant

- Bonded cutlery items or dishes

- Pewter or copper items

- Lead crystal glass

- Steel items subject to rusting

- Wooden platters

- Items made from synthetic fibres

For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery/dishes are of limited suitability:

- Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it is specifically marked as being dishwasher-safe by the manufacturer.

- Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed frequently

- 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.

- Some types of glass can become dull after a large number of washes

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

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.

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

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.

Removable knife basket

Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be placed horizontally in the removable knife basket, which is positioned at the rear of the upper basket.

The upper basket

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.

For taller items, the cup racks can be folded upwards.

US47

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

UI53

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 grids provided (if the size and dimensions of the cutlery allow it).

The cutlery basket is in two parts which can be separated to give greater loading flexibility. To separate the two parts, slide them horizontally in opposite directions and pull them apart. To reassemble, reverse the procedure.

UI63

US73

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.

Attention!

Never lift or lower the basket on one side only

When the basket is in the higher position you will not be able to use the cup rack(s).

RC08

Use of detergent

Only use detergents specifically designed for use in dishwashers.

We recommend the use of Finish detergents.

Using no more then 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

To lower the basket to the original position proceed as follows:

1. Pull out the basket until it stops.

2. Carefully lift both sides upwards and then allow the mechanism to drop back down slowly, keeping hold of it.

After loading your machine always close the door, as an open door can be a hazard.

DE19 DE22

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.

4. Close the lid and press until it locks in place.

11

Different kinds of detergent

Detergent tablets

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.

Use of "3 in 1" combi detergents

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 strictly used according to the detergent manufacturers instructions.

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).

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 turn back to the use of the standard detergent system we advise that you:

● 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.

Combi detergents

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 dosage must be deactivated, in order to avoid a double dosage.

DE15

For best results we recommend the use of Finish detergents, rinse aid and salt.

(1) Ideal for washing crockery and cutlery of breakfast and dinner (fresh 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.

"Automatic" washing programme

During the "Automatic" washing programme the amount of soil on the dishes is determined by how cloudy the water is.

If the appliance is partially loaded and the dishes lightly soiled, the "prewash", "main wash", and "rinse" phases of the programme are shorter and the water consumption level is lower.

If the appliance is fully loaded and the dishes heavily soiled, the "prewash", "main wash", and "rinse" phases of the programme are longer and the water consumption level is higher.

For this reason the programme duration, water and energy consumption levels can vary within the stated range for Automatic programme (see "Washing programmes chart").

During the "Automatic" programme the temperature of the main wash water is also automatically adjusted between 50°C and 65°C depending on the amount of soil on the dishes.

In the digital display appears 0 (remaining programme time),

only in this case the programme has ended.

If the door is not immediately opened at the end of the programme, air will circulate inside the dishwasher to prevent residual steam recondensing on the dishes as water droplets.

This device operates intermittently for about 20 minutes, as long as the dishwasher is switched on.

If the On/Off push button is pressed or the door is opened during these 20 minutes, the device will be automatically cancelled.

Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push button.

Open the door and wait a few minutes before removing the dishes; in this way they will be cooler and the drying will be improved.

"Care Plus" indicator light on

Option activated

"Care Plus" Option deactivated indicator light off (factory setting)

After about 3 seconds from the last pressure of a push button the programme starts automatically.

In the digital display the running time of the programme is no longer flashing and the indicator lights of the phases will turn off except for the phase underway.

Note: it is possible to select a washing programme also with the door slightly opened.

In this case the start of the programme will occur automatically after the closure of the door. Until this moment it is possible to change the setting made.

a) Press the On/Off push button.

b) Select a washing programme and if required the "Care

Plus" option.

c) Close the door.

8. Unloading the dishwasher

Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks. The dishes should therefore be allowed to cool down before removing from the appliance.

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.

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.

14

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 the use of Finish Dishwasher Cleaner every

3 months or run a 65°C wash programme without dishes using detergent.

Regular use of Finish Dishwasher Cleaner cleans inaccessible parts, eliminates unpleasant food odours and helps prevent the build-up of limescale.

Cleaning the filters

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/fine filter

(A/B), a microfilter (C) and a flat filter (D).

Some dishwasher will only have a coarse filter (A), a microfilter (C) and a flat filter (D).

Unlock the filter system using the handle on the microfilter, and remove.

MA35

MA32

3. Turn the handle about 1 /

4 a turn anticlockwise and remove.

MA40

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.

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.

MA36

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.

Attention!

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.

If residues of soil have clogged the holes in the upper spray arm, remove them with a toothpick.

MA31

7. Put the flat filter (D) back in the base of the washing compartment.

8. Place the coarse/fine filter (A/B) in the microfilter (C) 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.

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.

Remove all packaging before positioning the machine.

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

Fitting under a counter

(kitchen worktop or sink)

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

570 - 600

600

IN05

Proceed as follows:

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

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

During all operations that involve accessibility to internal components the dishwasher has to be unplugged.

Be sure that once the appliance has been installed, it is easily accessible for the consumer service department.

If the dishwasher is later used as a free-standing appliance, the original worktop must be re-mounted.

The plinth on free-standing appliances is not adjustable.

Water supply connections

This dishwasher must be plumbed into a cold water supply.

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". Your local Water Authority will advise you on the average mains pressure in your area.

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 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).

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.

Do not use, for connection, old hoses which have been used in 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.

20

Water outlet hose connection

The end of the drain hose can be connected in the following ways:

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.

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.

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

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 siphon back into the machine.

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.

Electrical connection

This appliance must be earthed.

The manufacturer declines any responsibility should this safety measure not be observed.

If the plug that is fitted to your appliance is not suitable for the socket, it must be cut off and the appropriate plug fitted.

Important

The wires on the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Green and Yellow - Earth

Blue

Brown

- Neutral

- Live

If you fit your own plug, the colours of the wires in the mains lead of your appliance may not correspond with the markings identifying the terminals in your plug.

Proceed as follows:

1. Connect the Green and Yellow (earth) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter "E" or the earth symbol or coloured green and yellow.

2. Connect the Blue (neutral) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter "N" or coloured black.

3. Connect the Brown (live) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter "L" or coloured red.

E

N

L

CS18

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.

CE04

The plug moulded onto the lead incorporates a 13amp BSI362 fuse. Only ASTA or BSI fuses should be used.

The plug must not be used if the fuse cover/carrier is lost. The cover/carrier is indicated by the coloured insert at the base of the plug.

A replacement cover/carrier must be obtained from your local

Service Force Centre.

To isolate the dishwasher from mains, remove the mains plug.

Important!

The plug must still be accessible after the appliance has been installed.

The appliance should not be connected to the electrical supply by means of an extension cable.

In case that the electrical cable has to be replaced, please contact your local Service Force Centre.
