LOADING DISHES

Using the upper basket

• The upper basket is provided with mobile racks hooked to the sides of the basket, which can be regulated into 4 positions.
• In the lowered position (A-A1) the racks may be used for such items as: tea and coffee cups, kitchen knives and ladles. Also glasses with stems may be safely hung on the ends of the racks.
  
  
• In the upright position (B-B1) the racks allow you to load dinner plates and soup plates. Plates should be loaded vertically with the underside of the plate towards the back of the dishwasher with a space between each plate to allow water to pass freely.
  
  
• It is advisable to load large plates (approx. 26 or more cm) slightly tilted towards the rear to facilitate introduction of the basket into the machine.
• Salad bowls and plastic bowls may also be loaded on the upper basket. It is advisable to block these in place so that the jets of water do not make them overturn.

In the request, please specify model name and number of the dishwasher (see rating plate).

PRACTICAL HINTS

How to get really good wash results

• Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove any remaining food (bones, shells, pieces of meat or vegetables, coffee grounds, skin of fruit, cigarette ash, tooth picks etc. to avoid blocking the filters, water outlet and washing arm nozzles.
• Try not to rinse the dishes before loading them into the dishwasher.
• If saucepans and oven dishes are encrusted with the remains of burnt or roast food, it is advisable to leave them to soak before washing.
• Place the dishes face downwards.
• Try to place the dishes in such a way that they are not touching one another. If they are loaded properly you will get better results.
• After loading the dishes check that the washing arms can rotate freely.
• Pans and other dishes that have particularly stubborn food particles or remnants of burnt food should be left to soak in water with dishwasher detergent.
• To wash silver properly:
  1. rinse the silver immediately after use, especially if it has been used for mayonnaise, eggs, fish etc.;
  2. do not sprinkle detergent onto it;
  3. keep it separate from other metals.

How to make savings

• If you want the dishwasher to give a complete wash, place the dishes in the dishwasher at the end of each meal and if necessary turn on the COLD RINSE cycle to soften the food remains and remove bigger particles of food from the new load of dishes. When the dishwasher is full start the complete wash cycle programme.
• If the dishes are not very dirty or if the baskets are not very full select an ECONOMY programme, following the instructions in the program list.

What not to wash

• It should be remembered that not all dishes are suitable for washing in a dishwasher. We advise against using the dishwasher to wash items in thermoplastic, cutlery with wooden or plastic handles, saucepans with wooden handles, items in aluminium, crystal, leaded glass unless otherwise stated.
• Certain decorations may fade. It is therefore a good idea before loading the whole batch to wash just one of the items first so as to be sure that others like it will not fade.
• It is a good idea not to put silver cutlery with non-stainless steel handles into the dishwasher as there could be a chemical reaction between them.

When buying new crockery or cutlery always make sure that they are suitable for washing in a dishwasher.

Useful hints

• In order to avoid any dripping from the top rack, remove the lower rack first.
• If the dishes are to be left in the machine for some time, leave the door ajar, to let some air circulate and to improve the drying performance.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• To clean the dishwasher outside, do not use solvents (degreasing action) neither abrasives, but only a cloth soaked with water.
• The dishwasher does not require special maintenance, because the tank is self-cleaning.
• Regularly wipe the door gasket with a damp cloth to remove any food remains or rinse aid.
• Dishwasher cleaning is recommended, in order to remove limestone deposits or dirt. We suggest you run a washing cycle periodically with specialist dishwasher cleaning products. For all cleaning operations the dishwasher must be empty.
• If, in spite of the routine cleaning of the filters, you notice that the dishes or pans are not properly washed or rinsed, check that all the spray heads on the rotor arms (fig. A "5") are clear.

If they are blocked, clean them in the following way:

1. to remove the upper rotor arm, turn it until it lines up with the stop marked by the arrow (fig. 1b). Push it upwards (fig. 1) and, keeping it pushed in, unscrew it in a clockwise direction (to reassemble it repeat the same operation, but turn it anticlockwise). The lower rotor arm can be removed simply by pulling it upwards (fig. 2);
2. wash the rotor arms under a jet of water to clear any blockage in the spray heads;
3. when you have finished, refit the rotor arms in the same position, remembering to re-align the arrow and screw into position.

• Both the door lining and the tank lining are in stainless steel; however, should spots caused by oxidation occur, this is probably due to a high level of iron salts presents in the water.
• The spots can be removed with a mild abrasive agent; never use chlorine based materials, steel wool, etc.
  

WHEN CYCLE IS FINISHED

After every wash it is essential to turn off water supply and to switch off the machine by pressing the On/Off button to the off position.

If the machine is not going to be used for some time, it is advisable to follow these rules:

1. do an empty wash with detergent in order to clean the machine of any deposits;
2. pull out the electric plug;
3. turn off the water tap;
4. fill the rinse aid container;
5. Ieave the door ajar;
6. keep the inside of the machine clean;
7. If the machine is left in places where the temperature is below 0°C any water left inside the pipes may freeze. Wait until the temperature rises above zero and then wait for about 24 hours before starting up the dishwasher.

• Hold the "RESET" button down for at least 3 seconds. Some audible signals will sound and the programme indicator lights will turn on and off individually and sequentially.
• The running programme will be cancelled and all the programme indicator lights will flash.
• At this point a new programme can be set.

Before starting a new programme, you should check that there is still detergent in the dispenser. If necessary, top up the dispenser.

Programme operations

When a programme is running the relevant indicator light will remain on and the 3 "PROGRAMME STATUS" indicator lights ("WASH" , "RINSE" , and "DRY" ) will light singularly and in sequence to indicate the current phase.

If there is any break in the power supply while the dishwasher is operating, a special memory stores the selected programme and, when the power is restored, it continues where it left off.

Programme end

A 5 second alarm will sound (if not muted) 3 times at 30 second intervals and the programme indicator light will flash to indicate that the washing programme has finished. The dishwasher will automatically switch off.

Option buttons

"EXPRESS" button

This button provides an energy and time saving of 25% on average (according to the select cycle) reducing the wash water temperature and the drying time during the final rinse. This programme is recommended for light soil washes, and for slightly wet dishes that are not fully dry, & improved drying results. We advise you to leave the door of the Dishwasher half-open at the end of the cycle, to allow for a natural circulation of air inside the dishwasher.

Salt empty indicator

This model is provided with an indicator light on the control panel which will light up when it is necessary to reload the salt container. The appearance of white stains on dishes is generally a warning sign that the salt container needs filling.

"RESET" button for "SALT EMPTY" light

After filling the salt container, you should press this button for a few seconds, until the corresponding indicator light switches off.

If you press the reset button without filling the salt container, this will interfere with the correct functioning of the salt indicator light.

The management and the control of the machine via App is only possible "by proximity": it is therefore not possible to perform remote operations (e.g.: from another room; outside of the house).

WATER SOFTENER UNIT

Depending on the source of the supply, water contains varying amounts of limestone and minerals which are deposited on the dishes leaving whitish stains and marks. The higher the level of these minerals present in the water, the harder the water is. The dishwasher is fitted with a water softener unit which, through the use of special regenerating salt, supplies softened water for washing the dishes. The degree of hardness of your water can be obtained from your water supply company.

Regulating the water softener

The softener unit can treat water with a hardness of up to 90°fH (French grading) or 50°dH (German grading) through 6 different settings.

The table below lists different degrees of water hardness with the corresponding setting for the softener unit.

Level	Water hardness		Use of regenerating salt	Water softener setting
	°fH (French grading)	°dH (German grading)
0	0-5	0-3	NO	No indicator lights
1	6-15	4-9	YES	Indicator light 1
2	16-30	10-16	YES	Indicator lights 1,2
*3	31-45	17-25	YES	Indicator lights 1,2,3
4	46-60	26-33	YES	Indicator lights 1,2,3,4
5	61-90	34-50	YES	Indicator lights 1,2,3,4,5 flashing

* The water softener unit is set in the factory at level 3, as this is suitable for the majority of users.

According to the degree of hardness of your water, regulate the softener unit in the following way:

1. Hold down the "PROGRAMME SELECTION" button and at the same time switch on the dishwasher by pressing the "ON/OFF" button (a brief audible signal will sound).
2. Keep the "PROGRAMME SELECTION" button pressed for at least 5 seconds, UNTIL an audible signal sounds. Some "PROGRAMME SELECTION" indicator lights will come on to indicate the current water softener setting level.
3. Press the same button again to select the required water softener level: each time the button is pressed, one indicator light will come on (the water softener level is indicated by the number of lights on). For level 0 all lights will be off.
4. Turn off the dishwasher by pressing the "ON/OFF" button to confirm the new setting.

If any problem occurs, turn the dishwasher off by pressing the "ON/OFF" button and start the procedure again from the beginning (STEP 1).
