Before use Before using your dishwasher for the first time: 1. Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply with the installation instructions 2.

The current level is indicated by the number of flashes made by the 70° 80I indicator light, that alternates 5 seconds off with a number of flashes, this for about 60 seconds. Example: 1 flash = 2 flashes = 3 flashes = 4 flashes = 5 flashes = level 1 level 2 level 3 level 4 level 5 3. To change the level, press the 70° 80I programme push button. Each time the push button is pressed the level changes.
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 spilled, remaining on the bottom of the machine for any period of time, which may cause corrosion. To fill: 1.
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 turning the lid (A) anticlockwise. A BR01 2. Add the rinse aid until the container is completely full. The indicator (B) will be completely dark. 3.
Using your appliance Loading your appliance Before placing dishes in the machine, remove any scraps of food, to avoid clogging the filters and consequently reducing the performance. Do not load very small items which can fall through the baskets. Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes. UI48 The lower basket The lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery etc.
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. Cutlery should be placed in the removable cutlery basket with the handles facing downwards. If the handles protrude from the bottom of the basket, obstructing the lower spray arm, load the cutlery with the handles facing upwards.
The upper basket The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates, saucers, dinner plates of up to 25 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.) should be loaded in the upper basket and arranged so they do not move.
Use of detergent Only use detergents specifically designed for use in dishwashers. If using powder detergents proceed as follows: Min = 15 g Max = 30 g D 1. Open the dispenser lid by pulling the catch (D). 2. Add the detergent according to the instructions given in the Washing programmes chart. As all detergents are not the same, you should also consult the instructions on the packet. M M IN AX 3. Always close the lid. DE17 4.
Hints and tips To save energy Items not suitable for dishwashers Place dishes in the machine immediately after every meal and wait until the dishwasher is full before washing. Do not prewash dishes under running water. Select the half load option if only a few dishes need washing. Remember to load the dishes in both baskets.
Washing programmes Type of load Degree of soil Required push buttons Recommended quantity of detergent wash * Intensive WRD Heavy soil. Crockery, cutlery, pots and pans On/Off + 70° 80I Normal soil. Crockery and cutlery On/Off + 65° 60° A 30I Light soil. Crockery and cutlery On/Off + 60° A 30I *** Eco 50° Normal soil.
Operating sequence 1. Check the filters 8. Setting and starting the programme Ensure they are clean and properly positioned (see "Maintenance and cleaning"). Press the push button corresponding to the wanted programme: the indicator light corresponding to the programme illuminates and the phase indicator lights foreseen for that programme start flashing. 2. Press the On/Off push button The On/Off indicator light will come on. Select, if required, the half load option.
The dishwasher has finished the programme only when the phase indicator light end of programme is illuminated. If you do not wait for the end of the programme it will not be possible to start a new programme if first you do not cancel the previous. (For the formalities how to cancel a programme see point 9) Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push button.
Maintenance and cleaning Internal cleaning 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. Cleaning the central filter (After each wash) Scraps of food may accumulate in the drain filter (A) and should be removed by rinsing the filter under running water. A To remove the drain filter - simply pull it out by the handle.
Check that the WRD is not clogged with detergent residue. If necessary rinse it under running water after having removed it from the basket by twisting it anticlockwise and pulling it upwards. Fasten it back onto the support by turning it clockwise. Never use your dishwasher without the WRD dispenser. Since WRD also ensures correct distribution of the water to the upper spray arm, running the dishwasher without it will impair the washing results.
Something not working Certain problems are due to lack of simple maintenance or oversights, which can be solved easily without calling out an engineer. The dishwasher is fitted with a number of alarm systems which can help you to quickly determine the cause of any problems. The dishwasher will not start or stops during operation. All push buttons are inoperative except for the On/Off push button.
If after all these checks, the problem persists, contact your local Service Force Centre, quoting the model and serial number. 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 Prod.No. ........ Ser. No. ......... Mod. ........ RA01 This product should be serviced by an authorised Service engineer, and only genuine spare parts should be used.
Hints for test centres Before starting any test it is necessary to fill completely with salt the salt container and with rinse aid the rinse aid dispenser.
