FIRST TIME USE

(SALT RINSE AID AND DETERGENT)

ADVICE REGARDING THE FIRST TIME USE

After installation. remove the stoppers from the racks and the retaining elastic elements from the upper rack.

FILLING THE SALT RESERVOIR

The use of salt prevents the formation of LIMESCALE on the dishes and on the machine’s functional components.

• It is important that the salt reservoir be never empty.
• It is important to set the water hardness.

The salt reservoir is located in the lower part of the dishwasher (see PROGRAMS DESCRIPTION) and should be filled when the SALT REFILL indicator light in the control panel is lit.

Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly. so that no detergent can get into the container during the wash program (this could damage the water softener beyond repair).

Whenever you need to add salt. we recommend carrying out the procedure before the washing cycle is started.

SETTING THE WATER HARDNESS

To allow the water softener to work in a perfect way. it is essential that the water hardness setting is based on the actual water hardness in your house. This information can be obtained from your local water supplier.

• The factory setting is for average (3) water hardness.
• Switch on the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.
• Switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.
• Hold down button START/PAUSE for 5 seconds. until you hear a beep.
• Switch on the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.
• The program indicator light of the current set level flashes.
• Press button P to select the desired hardness level (see WATER HARDNESS TABLE).

• Switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.

Setting is complete!

As soon as this procedure is complete. run a program without loading.Only use salt that has been specifically designed for dishwashers. After the salt has been poured into the machine. the SALT REFILL indicator light switches off.

If the salt container is not filled. the water softener and the heating element may be damaged as a result .

FILLING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER

Rinse aid makes dish DRYING easier. The rinse aid dispenser A should be filled when the RINSE AID REFILL indicator light in the control panel is lit.

1. Open the dispenser B by pressing and pulling up the tab on the lid.
2. Carefully introduce the rinse aid as far as the maximum (110 ml) reference notch of the filling space - avoid spilling it. If this happens. clean the spill immediately with a dry cloth.
3. Press the lid down until you hear a click to close it.

NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the tub.

ADJUSTING THE DOSAGE OF RINSE AID

If you are not completely satisfied with the drying results. you can ad just the quantity of rinse aid used.

• Switch the dishwasher on using the ON/OFF button.
• Switch it off using the ON/OFF button.
• Press button START/PAUSE three times - a beep will be heard.
• Switch it on using the ON/OFF button.
• The program indicator light of the current set level flashes.
• Press button P to select the level of rinse aid quantity to be supplied.
• Switch it off using the ON/OFF button.

Setting is complete!

If the rinse aid level is set to 1 (ECO). no rinse aid will be supplied. The LOW RINSE AID indicator light will not be lit if you run out of rinse aid.

A maximum of 4 levels can be set according to the dishwasher model.

The factory setting is for a medium level.

• If you see bluish streaks on the dishes. set a low number (2-3).
• If there are drops of water or limescale marks on the dishes. set a high number (4-5).

FILLING THE DETERGENT DISPENSER

2. Remove detergent residues from the edges of the dispenser and close the cover until it clicks.

3. Close the lid of the detergent dispenser by pulling it up until the closing device is secured in place.

The detergent dispenser automatically opens up at the right time according to the program.

If all-in-one detergents are used. we recommend using the TABLET button. because it adjusts the program so that the best washing and drying results are always achieved.

PROGRAMS TABLE

The Eco 50° wash cycle adheres to the regulation standard AS/NZS 2007. Although it has a longer duration than other wash cycles it uses less energy and is less harmful to the environment.

+) Not all options can be used simultaneously.

+*) The duration of the program shown on the display or in the booklet is an estimate calculated on standard conditions. The actual time may vary depending on many factors such as temperature and pressure of the incoming water. room temperature. amount of detergent. quantity and type of load. load balancing. additional selected options and sensor calibration. The sensor calibration can increase program duration up to 20 min.

Standby consumption: Left-on mode consumption: 5 W - Off mode consumption: 0.5 W

WARNING: Some dishwasher detergents are strongly alkaline. They can be extremely dangerous if swallowed. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes and keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open. Check that the detergent receptacle is empty after completion of the wash cycle.

ADVICE AND TIPS

TIPS

Before loading the baskets. remove all food residues from the crockery and empty the glasses. You do not need to rinse beforehand under running water.

Arrange the crockery so that it is held in place firmly and does not tip over; and arrange the containers with the openings facing downwards and the concave/convex parts placed obliquely. thus allowing the water to reach every surface and flow freely.

Warning: lids. handles. trays and frying pans do not prevent the sprayer arms from rotating.

Place any small items in the cutlery basket. Very soiled dishes and pans should be placed in the lower basket because in this sector the water sprays are stronger and allow a higher washing performance.

After loading the appliance. make sure that the sprayer arms can rotate freely.

HYGIENE

To avoid odour and sediment which can be accumulated in the dishwasher please run a high temperature program at least one a month. Use a tea spoon of detergent and run it without the loading to clean your appliance.

UNSUITABLE CROCKERY

• Wooden crockery and cutlery.
• Delicate decorated glasses, artistic handicraft and antique crockery. Their decorations are not resistant.
• Parts in synthetic material which do not withstand high temperatures.
• Copper and tin crockery.
• Crockery soiled with ash. wax. lubricating grease or ink.

The colours of glass decorations and aluminium/silver pieces can change and fade during the washing process. Some types of glass (e.g. crystal objects) can become opaque after a number of wash cycles too.

DAMAGE TO GLASS AND CROCKERY

• Only use glasses and porcelain guaranteed by the manufacturer as dishwasher safe.
• Use a delicate detergent suitable for crockery
• Collect glasses and cutlery from the dishwasher as soon as the wash cycle is over.

LOADING THE RACKS

UPPER RACK

Load delicate and light dishes: glasses. cups. saucers. low salad bowls.

ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE UPPER RACK

FOLDABLE FLAPS WITH ADJUSTABLE POSITION

LOWER RACK

For pots. lids. plates. salad bowls. cutlery etc. Large plates and lids should ideally be placed at the sides to avoid interferences with the spray arm. The lower rack has tip-up supports which can be used in a vertical position when arranging plates or in a horizontal position (lower) to load pans and salad bowls easily.

CUTLERY BASKET

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

CLEANING THE FILTER ASSEMBLY

Regularly clean the filter assembly so that the filters do not clog and that the waste water flows away correctly.

The filter assembly consists of three filters which remove food residues from the washing water and then recirculate the water: to obtain the best washing results. you need to keep them clean.

The dishwasher must not be used without filters or if the filter is loose.

After several washes. check the filter assembly and if necessary clean it thoroughly under running water. using a non-metallic brush and following the instructions below:

1. Turn the cylindrical filter A in an anti-clockwise direction and pull it out (Fig 1).
2. Remove the cup filter B by exerting a slight pressure on the side flaps (Fig 2).
3. Slide out the stainless-steel plate filter C (Fig 3).
4. Inspect the trap and remove any food residues.

NEVER REMOVE the wash-cycle pump protection (black detail) (Fig 4).

After cleaning the filters. re-place the filter assembly and fix it in position correctly; this is essential for maintaining the efficient operation of the dishwasher.

CLEANING THE SPRAY ARMS

On occasions. food residue may become encrusted onto the spray arms and block the holes used to spray the water. It is therefore recommended that you check the arms from time to time and clean them with a small non-metallic brush.

To remove the upper spray arm. turn the plastic locking ring in an anti clockwise direction. The upper spray arm should be replaced so that the side with the greater number of holes is facing upwards.

The lower spray arm may be removed by pulling it upwards.

CLEANING THE WATER INLET HOSE

If the water hoses are new or have not been used for an extended period of time. let the water run to make sure it is clear and free of impurities before performing the necessary connections. If this precaution is not taken. the water inlet could become blocked and damage the dishwasher.
