User instructions REFERENCES for the ENERGY LABEL supplied with the dishwasher: - Annual energy consumption is based on 280 standard wash cycles with cold water and consumption of low-energy operating modes. Actual consumption depends on the way in which the appliance is used. - Water consumption is based on 280 standard wash cycles. Actual consumption depends on the way in which the appliance is used.
User instructions 1.2 Washing programs Before starting a washing program make sure that: • The water supply tap is open. • The softener container contains regenerating salt. • The correct amount of detergent has been added to the dispenser. • The baskets have been correctly loaded. • The spray arms are able to rotate freely and without obstruction. • The dishwasher door is securely closed.
User instructions ENERGY SAVE This option can be selected with the wash programme of choice to further reduce energy consumption. Drying is aided by a special device that automatically releases the door, which opens slowly and smoothly by a few centimetres. This ensures perfect drying and greater control of rinsing temperatures, which can be kept at lower levels for significant energy saving. Once the door has opened, the end of the wash cycle is indicated by a short beep.
User instructions START DELAY The start of the program can be delayed by 3, 6 or 9 hours. This allows you to set the dishwasher to work at the times of day most convenient to you. After setting the program, press the button to select the delay you require; the corresponding light will come on. When the door is closed, the appliance will prewash the dishes, after which the "program delay" set will come into effect.
User instructions CHANGING THE PROGRAM To change the program in progress, simply open the door and select a new program. When the door is closed the dishwasher will automatically select the new program. TO SAVE ON ENERGY! … AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT • Always use the dishwasher with a full load. • Do not wash the dishes in running water. • Use the washing program that is most appropriate for each type of load. • Do not carry out any preliminary rinsing.
User instructions If the door has to be opened while washing is in progress, the program will be interrupted. The relative light will keep flashing and a beeper will signal that the cycle has not been completed. You must wait about 1 minute before closing the door to restart the program. When the door is closed the program will continue from where it was interrupted. This operation should only be carried out if strictly necessary, because it might cause problems in execution of the program.
User instructions ENERGY MANAGEMENT After 5 minutes of waiting (washing cycle completed, stopped or set but not started) the dishwasher switches to a standby state to reduce energy consumption. In this state, the dishwasher indicator panel (lights or display depending on model) functions more slowly (switch-on once every 5 seconds). REMOVING THE DISHES At the end of the washing program, wait at least 20 minutes before removing the dishes, to allow them to cool.
User instructions 2. Operating instructions Once the dishwasher has been installed, prepare for use as follows: • Adjust the water softening system; • Add the regenerating salt; • Add the rinse aid and detergent. correctly 2.1 Using the water softening system The amount of scale contained in the water (water hardness index) can cause whitish SALT staining on the dry dishes, which tend to become dull over time.
User instructions When using water of medium hardness, the regenerating salt container should be refilled after approximately 20 washing cycles. The salt container can hold approximately 1.7 Kg of salt in grains. Some models are equipped with an optical no-salt indicator. In these models, the cap of the salt container contains a green float which descends as the salt concentration in the water drops.
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 To access the setting function, hold the button down for more than 15 seconds. The WATER HARDNESS ADJUSTMENT INDICATOR LIGHT (4) flashes, while the SELECTED PROGRAM INDICATOR LIGHTS (2) show the current setting.
User instructions 2.2 Using the rinse aid and detergent dispensers The detergent and rinse aid dispensers are situated on the inner part of the door: the detergent dispenser is on the left, and the rinse aid dispenser is on the right. With the exception of the SOAK program, before every washing cycle it is necessary to add the required amount of detergent to the detergent dispenser. The rinse aid, on the other hand, should only be added as required.
User instructions To add rinse aid: • 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). The optical level indicator on the side of the cap should be completely obscured. Refill the rinse aid when the optical level indicator becomes clear again, or when the rinse aid warning light illuminates. • Replace the cover and turn it in a clockwise direction.
User instructions • • The amount of rinse aid must be increased if the washed dishes appear dull or feature circular stains. If, on the other hand, the dishes are sticky or have white streaks, it is necessary to reduce the rinse aid setting. 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.
User instructions • • • • The detergent packs must be sealed and stored in a dry place to prevent the formation of lumps which may negatively affect washing results. Once opened the detergent packs should not be kept for too long, otherwise the detergent loses its effectiveness. Do not use detergents formulated for washing dishes by hand, because they produce a great deal of foam and may negatively affect the operation of the dishwasher. Add the correct amount of detergent.
User instructions also effective at lower temperatures (from 40 to 55°C ) and are more easily biodegradable. With enzyme detergents it is possible to obtain at low temperatures comparable results to those which can only be achieved at 65°C using traditional detergents. For the safeguarding of the environment we recommend the use of phosphate- and chlorine free detergents.
User instructions 2.3 General warnings recommendations and 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, fishbones, etc.
User instructions WARNING! Make sure that the dishes are securely in place so that they cannot tip over or obstruct the rotation of the spray arms during the washing cycle. • Do not place very small objects in the baskets as these could fall and obstruct the spray arms or the wash pump. • Containers such as cups, bowls, glasses and pots should always be loaded with the opening facing downwards and with any cavities at an angle, to allow the water to drain out.
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 2.4 Using the baskets The dishwasher has a capacity of 13 placesettings, including serving dishes. LOWER BASKET The lower basket receives the full force of the lower spray arm, and should therefore be used for the “toughest” items with a heavier degree of soiling. All types and combinations of loads are permitted, provided that the dishes, pots and pans are arranged with all the soiled surfaces exposed to the water jets coming from the bottom.
User instructions BOTTOM BASKET INSERTS Model are equipped with bottom basket inserts which improve the drying of dishes. The inserts are supplied in the accessories bag; to use them, simply fit them into place as shown. 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 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. LOADING THE UPPER BASKET Load plates facing forward; cups, bowls etc. must always be facing downwards.
User instructions CUTLERY BASKET The basket has removable top grids into which items of cutlery should be inserted to keep them properly spaced and allow water to pass between them effectively. The top grids and central lid are in the bag of accessories. The central lid functions as a lid only. The top grids can be detached and used separately. The cutlery should be arranged in an orderly manner inside the basket, with the handles pointing downwards.
User instructions The cutlery basket slides across the dishwasher and can be placed in any position to allow optimal use of the space in the bottom basket. Examples of loading for intensive dirt: If the bottom basket inserts are of the fold-down type, they should be laid flat for easier loading.
User instructions ADJUSTING THE UPPER BASKET The height of the top basket can be adjusted to allow large dishes or pans to be placed in the bottom basket Adjustment in three positions on both sides. The sides of the basket must always be set at the same height. • Raise the basket by pulling on the top edge (1), to the first or second catch depending on the height required. • To lower the basket, first release it by pulling the release lever (2).
User instructions 3. Cleaning and maintenance Before carrying out any work, always unplug the appliance from the electrical supply or switch off the all-pole disconnection device. 3.1 General warnings and recommendations Avoid the use of acidic or abrasive detergents. Clean the outer surfaces and door-lining of the dishwasher regularly using a soft cloth moistened with water or with a normal detergent suitable for painted surfaces. Clean the door gaskets with a damp sponge.
User instructions CLEANING THE SPRAY ARMS The spray arms can be easily removed for periodic cleaning of the nozzles, to prevent possible clogging. Wash them under running water and carefully replace them in their seats, checking that their rotary movement is in no way impeded. • To remove the upper spray arm, unscrew locking ring R. • To remove the lower spray arm, simply lift it up, pulling by the central part.
User instructions CLEANING THE FILTER UNIT • It is advisable to periodically inspect the centre filter C and, if necessary, to clean it. To remove the filter, grip the tabs, turn them anticlockwise and lift upwards; • push the centre filter D from the underside to remove it from the micro-filter: • separate the two parts which make up the plastic filter by pressing the body of the filter in the zone shown by the arrows; • remove the centre filter by lifting it upwards.
User instructions GENERAL WARNINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CORRECT MAINTENANCE: • The filters should be cleaned under running water using a stiff brush. • When removing the filter, take care that there are no food residues on it. If any residues fall into the washing pit they might block hydraulic components, or foul the spray arm nozzles. • It is essential to thoroughly clean the filters according to the above instructions: the dishwasher cannot function if the filters are clogged.
User instructions BEFORE STARTING THE DISHWASHER AFTER PROLONGED DISUSE: • Check that there are no deposits of sludge or rust inside the water pipe: if there are, allow the water to run from the water supply tap for a few minutes. • Plug the power cord back into the socket. • Reconnect the water intake hose and open the tap again.
User instructions If the dishes are not being cleaned properly, check that: • the correct amount of detergent has been added; • there is regenerating salt inside the special container; • the dishes are being loaded correctly; • the selected program is suitable for the dish types and their degree of soiling; • all the filters are clean and positioned correctly; • the spray arm nozzles are not obstructed; • there is no object obstructing the rotation of the spray arms.
User instructions If the dishes show signs of streaking, staining, etc., check that: • the rinse aid dispenser setting is not too high. If there are visible traces of rust inside the tank: • the tank is made of steel, and therefore any rust marks are due to external elements (fragments of rust from the water pipes, pots, cutlery, etc.). Special products are commercially available to remove such marks; • check that the amount of detergent being used is correct.
User instructions 4. Troubleshooting The dishwasher is capable of signalling a number of faults through the simultaneous illumination of several indicator lights, with the following meanings: FAULT E1 E2 E3 E4 E5 DESCRIPTION Acquastop failure The anti-flooding system has been activated (for the relevant models only).
