WARNINGS
It is m o s t important that this instruction book should b e retained with the appliance for future reference. Should the appliance be sold or transferred t o another owner, or should you move house and leave the appliance, always ensure that the book is left with the appliance in order that the new owner can get t o know the functioning of the appliance and the relevant warnings. These warnings are provided in the interest of safety. You must read them carefully before installing or using the appliance. If the appliance is supplied with obvious damage, consult the supplier before installing it. Any plumbing and electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by qualified technicians. This appliance is designed to be operated by adults. Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance does not stand on the electrical supply cable or on the water inlet and drain hoses. These dishwashers are designed to be used for washing normal household utensils. Items that are contaminated by petrol, paint, steel or iron debris, corrosive, acidic or alkaline chemicals are not to be washed in a dishwasher. Under no circumstances should you open the door whilst the appliance is in operation. Always turn off the appliance before opening the door. However, the dishwasher features a special safety device which cuts off the water inlet, should the door be accidentally opened, thus avoiding water leaks. Never touch the heating element during or irnmediately after the end of the washing cycle. When finishing loading or unloading close the door, as an open door can be a hazard. It is dangerous to lean or to sit on the dishwasher door: the appliance could tip over. Built-in dishwashers only: the appliance must be secured to the underside of the worktop using the brackets provided. Failure to do this could result in an unstable appliance which may cause damage or injury.Unplug the appliance and turn off the water after use. Unplug the appliance and turn off the water after Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out b y inexperienced persons may cause injury or more serious malfunctioning. This appliance should be serviced only by an authorised Service Centre. Before disposing of the appliance, disconnect the water hose, cut the electrical cable and ensure that the door cannot close. For proper disposal of the appliance, contact your local waste collection service.
Installing and Securing the Machine Under a Kitchen Unit (Sink-Worktop Unit)
, ,
Positioning
If possible, position the machine next to a water tap and a drain. The sides and the back of the dishwasher can rest against the adjacent furniture or the wall. The dishwasher features fill and drain hoses which can be turned either to the left or the right to suit the installation.
By removing the machine's worktop, you can install it under a close fitting sink unit or a pre-existing top, if the dimensions of the recess correspond to those shown in the picture.
Then proceed as follows: Remove the machine worktop by unscrewing the two front retaining screws, pull from the front and slide out of the rear slots, lifting the worktop. Insert the machine after adjusting the height and levelling with the adjustable feet. When inserting the machine, ensure that the water inlet and drain hoses are not kinked or squashed. Caution
8, Once the machine has been installed, ensure t h a ~ can be accessed easily for servicing.
Levelling
Good levelling is essential for correct closure and sealing of the door. Loosen or tighten the adjustable support feet, until the machine is perfectly level.
, \
,L\<",,
Mote
The panel should be fitted before positioning the machine.
For making the connection itself, the coupling n u t fitted to the machine's suoply hose is designed to screw onto either a 314 inch gas thread spout, or to a purpose made quick coupling tap such as the Press-Block. To make this easier, the hose itself may be turned to the left or the right. In either case, be sure to incorporate the strainer (A) supplied with the machine onto the joint. See picture. The water pressure must be within the limits given in the technical specifications, as it will not function correctly if pressure is outside these specifications. Caution: the retaining ring must be properly fitted so as to avoid water leaks. Note: the end of the hose connected to the m a chine can be positioned as required, by simply slackening the retaining ring. Re-tighten the ring securely to avoid water leaks. Avoid bends or kinks in the hose, which could prevent or slow down the flow of water. If the machine is connected to new pipes or pipes which have not been used for a long time, you are advised to run the water for a few minutes before connecting the inlet hose. This will prevent deposits of sand or rust clogging the inlet hose filter.
Electrical connection
installation instructions: installer t o reinstall the hose in that the hose connection t o the dishwasher coupling ensures water seal prior t o installation. Installer t o reconnect all hoses.
Before plugging the appliance into the wall socket, make sure that:
1. the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage given in the technical specifications;
This dishwasher may be fed with either hot (max.6O"C) or cold water. Nevertheless we advise you a cold water supply. A hot water supply is not always efficient with very soiled crockery as it shortens the washing programmes a lot. Feeding the appliance with a hot water supply (max. 60C) vvill allow you :to obtain corisiderably shorter programmes
2. the meter, fuses, mains power supply and wall socket can all take the maximum load required. Make sure that the socket and plug are compatible without having to use any type of adapter. If necessary, have the domestic wiring system socket replaced.
Safety standards require the appliance to b e earthed. The Manufacturer accepts no liability for failure to observe We above safety precautions.

Warm rinse
5 610-Programme Pushbutton
This button allows selection of the so called biologic programmes, suitable for the new compact detergents containing enzymes. The combination 610-programmes and new compact detergents offers you, at a temperature as low as 50C, the same washing results of the stronger programmes at 65C with the traditional detergents.
Rinse Aid
This liquid gives the dishes a shiny finish and improves dying. It is automatically added during the hot rinse. 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 Open the container by turning the lid (A) anticlockwise. Add rinse aid until the container is completely full (approx. 110 ml). The indicator (6) will be completely dark. Top up with rinse aid when the indicator (B) becomes clear (about 70-80 ml). Remember to CLOSE the lid after every refill. Caution Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next wash. Adjusting the Dose According to the finish a n d drying results obtained, adjust the dose of rinse aid by means of the 6 position selector (C) (position 1 - minimum dose, position 6 - maximum dose). (Start from position 3). Gradually increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on the dishes after washing. Reduce it if there are sticky whitish streaks on the dishes.
To help you to correctly dose the right amount of detergent, inside the container there are two reference marks: -MIN = 15 ml - MAX = 30 rnl The amount of detergent t o be used varies d e pending on how soiled the dishes are and the type of dishes being washed. We recommend the amounts shown in the programme chart on the next pages. After filling the dispenser with detergent, close the lid. All the programmes with prewash require a small extra amount of detergent of approximately 5 g= a coffee spoon to be poured over the lid of the dispenser, as shown on the picture. Use double this amount (10 g) if selecting the Intensive Programme. At the end of any washing programme the lid is always open, ready for the next wash. Since not all detergents are the same, you should also consult the instructions on the packet. Remember that insufficient quantities of detergent will produce poor washing results whereas an excessive amount of detergent does not improve washing results and is also wasteful. Using no more than the correct amount of detergent also contributes to reducing pollution. BIO programmes and compact powders On the basis of their chemical composition, dishwasher detergents can be classified into two basic groups: - conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components: - low-alkaline compact powders with natural enzymes. The enzymes in low-alkaline compact powders have a dirt-dissolving effect and are also biodegradable. These enzymes deploy their full dirt-dissolving power within a temperature range of 40-50C. In BIO vashing programmes, the temperature range and duration of the heating phases are precisely matched to the dirt-dissolving properties of the enzymes. In cornbination with low-alkaline compact powders, BIO washing programmes, at a temperature as low as 50% therefore achieve the same cleaning results that would otherwise be achievable only with 65C programmes. The lack of any caustic components in low-alkaline compact powders and the lower cleaning temperature of BIO washing programmes not only relieve the environment, but also care for your crockery.
Use of Detergent
Before starting any of the dishwashing programmes, except for the rinse and hold programme, load the detergent in the dispenser. Use only tablets, powder or liquid detergents specifically designed for domestic dishwashers. Unsuitable detergents (such as those for washing by hand) do not contain the right ingredients for machine washing and hamper correct functioning of the machine. To open the dispenser lid, pull the catch (D). This will open it.
The two rear rows of prongs on the lower basket can be easily lowered to allow you to load pots, pans and bowls.

To lower t h e prongs: slightly pull them upward and let them droo , down (see picture); to bring them back to the standing position, just pull them up again.
~~~
Cutlery should be placed in the removable cutle~ -v 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 upward. Arrange the spoons, dessert spoons, knives and other small items of cutlery in the racks on both sides of the cutlery basket.
Mix spoons with the other cutlery to prevent them sticking together.
Caution When loading the dishes, ensure that you do not cover the water inlet funnel in the middle of the upper basket.
Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely.
HELPFUL HINTS
For Best Washing Results:
Before loading, remove all scraps of food and soak very heavily soiled pots and pans. Always arrange saucepans, cups and glasses etc. upside-down. Tilt items with convex or concave surfaces so that the water drains off easily. Long items of cutlery such as ladles, carving knives etc. should be positioned horizontally in the upper basket. Avoid contact between the dishes as far as possible; correct arrangement of the items will give better washing results. Light items (plastic bowls etc.) should be loaded in the upper basket and arranged so that they do not move during washing. You will improve drying results by leaving the dishwasher door ajar for at least 15-30 minutes as soon as the programme finishes. Select an ECONOMIC programme when the baskets are not very full andlor when the dishes are not very soiled, following the instructions given in the Programme Chart (ECONOMY programmes, QUICK programme).
To Save Energy
Do not prewash dishes under running water. Place dishes in the machine immediately after every meal and wait until the dishwasher is full before washing. If necessary run the Rinse and Hold programme (see Programme Chart on the following pages), so that any food scraps do not become caked on the dishes while you are waiting to run the complete wash programme.

The machine will stop and the pilot light remains on until ONIOFF button is depressed. Turn off the water tap Open the door and wait a few minutes before removing the dishes; in this way they will be cooler and drying will be improved. Empty the lower basket first and then the upper one; this will avoid water dripping from the upper basket onto the dishes in the lower one.
Caution
In general it is not advisable to open the door while the machine is working; if the door is opened however, a safety device ensures that the machine stops. If you have to open the door while the machine is working, always switch off the appliance first by pcessing the ONIOFF button
When depressing button you will select the most intensive programme, suitable for very heavily soiled saucepans and dishes. The prewash is at 55C and the main wash at 70C.
Once cleaned, refit the filters by pressing them down until they click into place.
Caution: the dishwasher must not b e used without filters. Incorrect repositioning of the filters will produce poor washing results. Cleaning of the filters is vital to ensure correct operation of the machine.
If you have to move the machine (you are moving house etc ...) : unplug it; turn oif the water tap; remove the water inlet and discharge hoses; pull the machine out together with the hoses.
