Safety instructions 1. Safety and operating instructions THIS MANUAL FORMS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE APPLIANCE: IT MUST ALWAYS BE KEPT INTACT TOGETHER WITH THE DISHWASHER. BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE, CAREFULLY READ ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN THIS MANUAL. INSTALLATION MUST BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN, IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE REGULATIONS IN FORCE.
Safety instructions IF THE APPLIANCE IS INSTALLED ON A CARPETED OR COVERED FLOOR, ENSURE THAT THE OPENINGS ON ITS UNDERSIDE ARE NOT OBSTRUCTED. ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE DISHWASHER AFTER EACH USE TO AVOID WASTING ELECTRICITY. OBSOLETE APPLIANCES MUST BE RENDERED UNUSABLE. CUT OFF THE MAINS POWER CORD AFTER UNPLUGGING IT FROM THE WALL OUTLET, AND MAKE SAFE ANY COMPONENTS WHICH MIGHT BE DANGEROUS FOR CHILDREN (LOCKS, DOORS, ETC.). THE APPLIANCE MUST THEN BE TAKEN TO A SORTED WASTE COLLECTION CENTRE.
Safety instructions DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES TOUCH THE HEATING ELEMENT IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE END OF A WASHING PROGRAM. OVER TIME, THE DISHWASHER HEATING ELEMENTS MAY CHANGE COLOUR, IN PART OR OVERALL. THIS IS PERFECTLY NORMAL AND DOES NOT IN ANY WAY AFFECT THE OPERATION OF THE APPLIANCE. DO NOT DRINK THE WATER RESIDUES WHICH MAY BE PRESENT INSIDE THE DISHES OR DISHWASHER AT THE END OF THE WASHING PROGRAM AND BEFORE THE DRYING CYCLE.
Installation instructions 2. Installation and hook-up Remove the polystyrene basket retainers. Position the appliance in the desired place of installation. The back or sides of the dishwasher may be placed up against walls or other furniture units. If the dishwasher is installed near a heat source, fit the special insulating panel to prevent overheating and malfunction of the appliance.
Installation instructions CONNECTING TO THE WATER SUPPLY Connect the intake hose to a cold water supply with ¾” gas thread, inserting the filter A supplied with the dishwasher. Take care to screw the hose firmly into place with your hands and then complete by tightening about ¼ of a turn with pliers. In dishwashers equipped with the ACQUASTOP device, the filters is already fitted inside the threaded ring. The dishwasher can also be connected to a hot water supply not exceeding 60°C.
User instructions 3. Operating instructions Once the dishwasher has been correctly installed, prepare for use as follows: • • • Adjust the water softening system; Add the regenerating salt; Add the rinse aid and detergent. 3.1 Using the water softening system The amount of scale contained in the water (water hardness index) can cause whitish staining on the dry dishes, which tend to become dull over time.
User instructions • Do not use table salt as it contains insoluble substances which, over time, may damage the water softening system. • When necessary, refill the regenerating salt container before starting the washing program. In this way, the excess saline solution will be immediately removed by the water; the prolonged presence of salt water inside the tank may lead to corrosion.
User instructions ADDING THE RINSE AID The rinse aid helps the dishes dry faster and prevents the formation of scale deposits and staining; it is automatically added to the water during the final rinse cycle, from the container situated on the inner side of the door. • • • • • Open the door. Rotate the container cap anticlockwise by ¼ of a turn and remove it. Add the rinse aid until the container is full (approximately 140 cc).
User instructions ADDING THE DETERGENT To open the detergent dispenser cap, lightly press the button P. Add the detergent and close the cap carefully. During the washing cycle, the dispenser will be opened automatically. • When a SUPER program is selected, in addition to the normal dose of detergent, it is necessary to add an additional amount inside compartment G or H. • Use only detergents specially formulated for dishwashers.
User instructions • The market offers liquid and powder detergents with differing chemical compositions, which may contain phosphates, or be phosphate-free but contain natural enzymes. - Detergents containing phosphates are more effective against grease and starch at temperatures above 60°C. - Enzyme detergents, on the other hand, are also effective at lower temperatures (from 40 to 55°C) and are more easily biodegradable.
User instructions 3.3 General warnings and recommendations Before using the dishwasher for the first time, it is advisable to read the following recommendations concerning dish types to be washed and their loading. There are generally no constraints on the washing of domestic dishes, but in certain cases it is necessary to take their characteristics into account. Before loading the dishes into the baskets it is necessary to: • remove coarse food remains: e.g. bones, fish-bones, etc.
User instructions Items which are not dishwasher-safe: • • • • • • • • Wooden dishes, pots or pans: these may be damaged by the high washing temperatures. Handcrafted items: these are rarely suitable for washing in a dishwasher. The relatively high water temperatures and the detergents used may damage them. Plastic dishes: heat resistant plastic dishes must be washed in the upper basket. Dishes and objects in copper, tin, zinc or brass: these tend to stain.
User instructions 3.4 Using the baskets The dishwasher has a capacity of 14 place-settings, including serving dishes. EN 50242 STANDARD LOADS FOR CERTIFICATION BODIES LOWER BASKET UPPER BASKET EN 50242 cycle test conditions: Lower basket: the grid "A" ("lower basket" section) must not be raised. Upper basket: on the left, there are two saucers underneath the cups.
User instructions In the front there are one or two supports (depending on the models) for small plates (B). To use them, they have to be turned towards the front of the dishwasher. LOADING THE LOWER BASKET Carefully load flat plates, soup plates, dessert and serving dishes, positioning them vertically. Pots, pans and their covers must be loaded upside down. When loading soup plates and dessert bowls, be sure to leave a gap between them.
User instructions CUTLERY BASKET Cutlery must be placed with the tips facing downward. Long items of cutlery (ladles, wooden spoons, kitchen knives, etc.), which might interfere with the upper spray arm must be placed in the upper basket, ensuring that knife tips do not project from the basket. The cutlery basket features an exclusive system of independent sliding tip-up supports, offering a series of combinations to allow optimum use of the space available.
User instructions UPPER BASKET It is recommended to load the upper basket with small- or medium-sized items such as glasses, small plates, tea or coffee cups, shallow bowls and light objects made from heat resistant plastic. If the upper basket is used in the lowermost position, it can also be loaded with serving dishes, provided they are only slightly soiled. The top basket is fitted (on the left) with two plastic racks which can be raised to make room for tall glasses, such as stem glasses.
User instructions ADJUSTING THE UPPER BASKET Pull-out version: the upper basket can be adjusted in two positions, according to the user’s needs and according to the height of the dishes in the lower basket. Proceed as follows. • • • • • pull out the right-hand basket guide; remove the stop, first releasing it as shown in the diagram; push the guide to free the wheels; fit the upper or lower pair of wheels into the guide, depending on the setting required; return the stop to its original position.

User instructions If the dishes fail to dry or remain dull, check that: • • • there is rinse aid inside the special container; the rinse aid dispenser setting is correct; the detergent used is of good quality and has not lost its effectiveness (for example, through incorrect storage, with the box left open). If the dishes show signs of streaking, staining, etc., check that: • the rinse aid dispenser setting is not too high.
