LOADING THE SALT

■ On the bottom of the machine there is acontainer for the salt for regeneratingthe softener.

■ It is important to use only a salt that isspecifically designed for dishwasher.Other types of salt contain small quantitiesof insoluble particles which over a longperiod of time may affect and deterioratethe softener performance.

■ To add salt, unscrew the cap of the con-tainer on the bottom and then refill thecontainer.

■ During this operation a little water willoverflow; but keep adding salt until thecontainer is full. When the container isfull, clean the thread of salt residue andretighten the tap.

■ After loading the salt, it is recommendedrunning a complete washing cycle,or COLD RINSE programme. The saltdispenser has a capacity of between 1.5and 1.8 kg and, for efficient use of theappliance, it should be refilled from timeto time according to the regulation of thewater softener unit.

9

IMPORTANT(Only for first start up)When the appliance is used for thefirst time, after completely filling thesalt container, it is necessary to addwater until the container overflows.

Salt loading indicatorThis model is provided with an indicator lighton the control panel which will light upwhen it is necessary to reload the saltcontainer.

IMPORTANT The appearance of white stains ondishes is generally an importantsign that the salt container needsfilling.

* The water softener unit is set in thefactory at level 3, as this is suitable forthe majority of users.

According to the degree of hardness ofyour water, regulate the softener unit in thefollowing way:

IMPORTANTThe dishwasher must be ALWAYSoff before start this procedure.

1. Hold down the FIRST "PROGRAMME"button (from the right) and at the sametime switch on the dishwasher bypressing the "ON/OFF" button (a briefaudible signal will sound).

2. Keep the "PROGRAMME" buttonpressed for at least 5 seconds, UNTILan audible signal sounds. Some"PROGRAMME SELECTION" indicatorlights will come on to indicate thecurrent water softener setting level.

3. Press the same button again to selectthe required water softener level: eachtime the button is pressed, one indicatorlight will come on (the water softenerlevel is indicated by the number of lightson). For level 5, 4 lights will flash, forlevel 0 all lights will be off.

4. Turn off the dishwasher by pressing the"ON/OFF" button to confirm the newsetting.

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

WATER SOFTENER UNITDepending on the source of the supply,water contains varying amounts of limestoneand minerals which are deposited on thedishes leaving whitish stains and marks.The higher the level of these mineralspresent in the water, the harder the water is.The dishwasher is fitted with a watersoftener unit which, through the use ofspecial regenerating salt, suppliessoftened water for washing the dishes. The degree of hardness of your water canbe obtained from your water supplycompany.

Regulating the water softenerThe softener unit can treat water with ahardness of up to 90°fH (French grading)or 50°dH (German grading) through 6different settings.

The table below lists different degrees ofwater hardness with the correspondingsetting for the softener unit.

■ Saucepans, oven dishes, tureens, saladbowls, lids, serving dishes, dinner platesand soup plates can be loaded into thelower basket.

■ Place the cutlery in the plastic cutleryholder with the handles pointing upwardsand place the cutlery holder on the lowerbasket (fig. 6) making sure that thecutlery does not get in the way of therotating arms.

LOADING DISHES

Using the upper basket

■ The upper basket is provided with mobileracks hooked to the sides of the basket,which can be regulated into two positions:upright and lowered.

■ In the lowered position the racks may beused for such items as: tea and coffeecups, kitchen knives and ladles. Alsoglasses with stems may be safely hungon the ends of the racks. Glasses, cups,saucers and dessert plates may be loadedunder the racks.

■ In the upright position the racks allowyou to load dinner plates and soup platesup to a maximum diameter of 19 cm.Plates should be loaded vertically withthe underside of the plate towards theback of the dishwasher with a spacebetween each plate to allow water topass freely.

■ It is advisable that the plates loaded intothe dishwasher together be the samesize in order to utilize total basket capacity.

■ Plates may be loaded in a single row orin two rows.

■ It is advisable to load large plates slightlytilted towards the front to facilitate theintroduction of the basket into themachine.

■ The upper basket has been designed tooffer maximum flexibility in use and canbe loaded with glasses, cups, smallplates and small-sized bowls.

Using the third basket

■ The third basket has been designed toload items such as utensils of smalldimensions or flat and long shapeditems. By freeing the lower baskets fromthese objects, loading big-size itemsbecomes more comfortable and easier,making it possible for instance to loadplates and pots in the lower basket.

■ The third basket can be loaded with thefollowing items: coffee cups and sideplates, fruit or dessert cups, small bowls,saucers, kitchen knives and forks, ladlesand large spoons, graters, andaccessories for small appliances (e.g.food mixer blades).

ATTENTION!The third basket is NOT designed forloading cutlery. The absence of racksfor fixing cutlery could involve suchitems being found in the lowerbaskets.

■ In order to obtain optimum washingresults, it is advisable to load items withtheir underside towards the ceiling of thedishwasher (e.g. small plates andbowls).

■ The third basket can be easily extractedfrom the dishwasher, by removing thefront stops at the beginning of baskettracks.

■ The third basket has been designed tooffer maximum flexibility in use. Due toits partition in three tilted sections andabsence of fixed racks, it can be loadedin numerous ways: only coffee cups andside plates; or coffee cups mixed withbowls and utensils; or again with sideplates, graters, and spoons.

A standard daily load is represented infig. 7.

LOADING THE DETERGENT

The detergent

IMPORTANTIt is essential to use a detergentthat is specifically designed fordishwashers either in powder, liquidor tablet form.

“FINISH” gives very good results and canbe easily obtained.Unsuitable detergents (like those forwashing up by hand) do not contain theproper ingredients for use in a dishwasher,and stop the dishwasher from workingcorrectly.

Filling the detergent containerThe detergent container is inside the door(fig. A “2”). If the lid of the container isclosed, press the button (A) to open. At the end of every wash cycle the lid isalways open and ready for the next timethe dishwasher is used.

WARNING!When loading the lower basket, pleaseensure that the plates or others do notobstruct the detergent dispenser.

The amount of detergent to be used variesaccording to how dirty the dishes are andon the type of dishes to be washed.We advise using 20÷30 g of detergent in thewash section of detergent compartment (B).

14

After pouring the detergent into the container,close the lid, firstly pushing (1) and thenpressing on it (2) until you hear the click.

Since not all detergents are the same theinstructions on the boxes of detergent canvary. We should just like to remind usersthat too little detergent does not clean thedishes properly whilst too much detergentwill not produce better results and is also awaste.

IMPORTANTDo not use an excessive amount ofdetergent and help limit damage tothe environment at the same time.

TYPES OF DETERGENT

Detergent tabletsDetergent tablets of different manufacturersdissolve at different speeds, for thisreason, during short programmes, somedetergent tablets may be not fully effective,because they are not completely dissolved.If these products are used, is recommendedto choose longer programmes to guaranteethe complete use of the detergent.

IMPORTANTTo get satisfactory washing results,the tablets MUST be placed in thewash section of the detergentcontainer and NOT directly in thetub.

Concentrated detergentsThe concentrated detergents, with reducedalkalinity and with natural enzymes, inconjunction with 50°C wash programmes,have a smaller impact on the environmentand they protect the dishes and thedishwasher. The 50°C wash programmes purposelyexploit the dirt-dissolving properties of theenzymes, allowing therefore, with the useof the concentrated detergents, to achievethe same results of the 65°C programmesbut at a lower temperature.

Combined detergentsThe detergents that also contain the rinseaid must be placed in the wash section ofthe detergent container. The rinse aidcontainer must be empty (if it is not empty,set the rinse aid regulator to lowest positionbefore using combined detergents).

"ALL in 1" combined detergentsIf you are planning to use “ALL in 1” (“3 in 1 “/“4 in 1”/ “5 in 1”, etc.) combined detergents i.e.those with built in salt and/or rinse agent,we would advise the following:

■ read carefully and follow the manufacturer’sinstructions given on the packaging;

■ the effectiveness of detergents containingthe built in water softener/salt dependson the hardness of your water supply.Check that the hardness of your watersupply is within the effective range givenon the detergent packaging.

If when using this type of product, youdon't get satisfactory washing results,please contact the detergentmanufacturer.

In certain circumstances use of combineddetergents can cause:

■ limescale deposits on dishes or in thedishwasher;

■ a reduction in washing and dryingperformance.

IMPORTANTAny problems which arise as a directresult of the use of these productsare not covered by our warranty.

Please note that using the "ALL in 1"combined detergents, the rinse aid andsalt indicator lights (only used onselected models) are superfluous, so youmust ignore the lights.

If washing and/or drying problems occur,we recommend you return to use traditionalseparate products (salt, detergent andrinse agent). This will ensure that the watersoftener in the dishwasher operatescorrectly.

In this case, we recommends that you:

■ refill both the salt and rinse aid container;

■ run one normal washing cycle without aload.

Please note that on return to the use ofconventional salt, a number of cycles willbe required before the system becomesfully efficient again.

CLEANING THE FILTERS

The filter system (fig.A “4”) consists of:

a central container that traps the largerparticles;

a flat gauze that continuously filters thewash water;

a micro filter, located beneath the gauze,that traps the tiniest particles ensuring aperfect rinse.

■ To achieve excellent results every time,the filters should be checked andcleaned after each wash.

■ To remove the filter unit, simply turn thehandle anticlockwise (fig. 1).

■ For ease of cleaning, the central containeris removable (fig. 2).

■ Remove the gauze filter (fig.3) andwash the whole unit under a jet ofwater. If necessary a small brush canbe used.

■ With the Self-cleaning Micro filter,maintenance is reduced and the filterunit need only be checked every twoweeks. Nevertheless, after each wash itis advisable to check that the centralcontainer and the gauze filter are notclogged.

WARNING!After cleaning the filters, make surethat they are correctly reassembledand that the gauze filter is properlypositioned at the bottom of thedishwasher.

Make sure that the filter is screwedback, clockwise, into the gauze, aspoor seating of the filter unit couldhave an adverse effect on theefficiency of the appliance.

IMPORTANTNever use the dishwasher withoutthe filters.

LOADING THE RINSE AID

The rinse aid

The rinse aid, which is automaticallyreleased during the last rinsing cycle, helpsthe dishes to dry quickly and preventsspots and stains forming.

Filling the rinse aid containerThe rinse aid container can be found to theleft of the detergent container (fig. A "3").To open the lid, push the reference markand, in the same time, pull the tab ofopening.It is always advisable to use rinse aid thatis specifically designed for dishwasher.Check the rinse aid level through theindicator eye (C) which is located on thedispenser.

Regulating the rinse aid from 1 to 6

The regulator (D) is placed under the lidand can be turned using a coin. The recommended position is 4.The limestone content of the waterconsiderably affects the formation oflimescale and the drying performance.It is therefore important to regulate thequantity of rinse aid to achieve goodwashing results.If, after the wash, streaks occur on thedishes, decrease the amount by oneposition. If whitish spots occur, increase theamount by one position.

PRATICAL HINTSHow to get really good washresults

■ Before placing the dishes in thedishwasher, remove any remainingfood (bones, shells, pieces of meat orvegetables, coffee grounds, skin of fruit,cigarette ash, tooth picks etc. to avoidblocking the filters, water outlet andwashing arm nozzles.

■ Try not to rinse the dishes beforeloading them into the dishwasher.

■ If saucepans and oven dishes areencrusted with the remains of burnt orroast food, it is advisable to leave themto soak before washing.

■ Place the dishes face downwards.

■ Try to place the dishes in such a waythat they are not touching one another.If they are loaded properly you will getbetter results.

■ After loading the dishes check that thewashing arms can rotate freely.

■ Pans and other dishes that haveparticularly stubborn food particles orremnants of burnt food should be left tosoak in water with dishwasherdetergent.

■ To wash silver properly:

a) rinse the silver immediately afteruse, especially if it has been used formayonnaise, eggs, fish etc.;

b) do not sprinkle detergent onto it;

c) keep it separate from other metals.

How to make savings■ If you want the dishwasher to give a

complete wash, place the dishes in thedishwasher at the end of each meal andif necessary turn on the COLD RINSEcycle to soften the food remains andremove bigger particles of food from thenew load of dishes. When the dishwasher is full start thecomplete wash cycle programme.

■ If the dishes are not very dirty or if thebaskets are not very full select anECONOMY programme, following theinstructions in the program list.

What not to wash■ It should be remembered that not all

dishes are suitable for washing in adishwasher.We advise against usingthe dishwasher to wash items inthermoplastic, cutlery with wooden orplastic handles, saucepans withwooden handles, items in aluminium,crystal, leaded glass unless otherwisestated.

■ Certain decorations may fade. It istherefore a good idea before loading thewhole batch to wash just one of theitems first so as to be sure that otherslike it will not fade.

■ It is a good idea not to put silver cutlerywith non-stainless steel handles intothe dishwasher as there could be achemical reaction between them.

IMPORTANTWhen buying new crockery orcutlery always make sure that they aresuitable for washing in a dishwasher.

Useful hints

■ In order to avoid any dripping from thetop rack, remove the lower rack first.

■ If the dishes are to be left in themachine for some time, leave the doorajar, to let some air circulate and toimprove the drying performance.

19

WHEN CYCLE IS FINISHEDAfter every wash it is essential to turn offwater supply and to switch off the machineby pressing the On/Off button to the offposition.

If the machine is not going to be used forsome time, it is advisable to follow theserules:

1. do an empty wash with detergent in orderto 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 thetemperature is below 0°C any water leftinside the pipes may freeze. Wait untilthe temperature rises above zero andthen wait for about 24 hours beforestarting up the dishwasher.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

■ To clean the dishwasher outside, do notuse solvents (degreasing action) neitherabrasives, but only a cloth soaked withwater.

■ The dishwasher does not require specialmaintenance, because the tank isself-cleaning.

■ Regularly wipe the door gasket with adamp cloth to remove any food remainsor rinse aid.

■ It is advisable to remove limestonedeposits or dirt periodically, by doing anempty wash; pour a glass of vinegar onthe bottom of the tank and select thelight wash.

■ If, in spite of the routine cleaning of thefilters, you notice that the dishes or pansare not properly washed or rinsed, checkthat all the spray heads on the rotorarms (fig. A “5”) are clear.

If they are blocked, clean them in thefollowing way:

1. to remove the upper rotor arm, turn ituntil it lines up with the stop markedby the arrow (fig. 1). Push it upwards(fig. 1b) and, keeping it pushed in,unscrew it in a clockwise direction(to reassemble it repeat the sameoperation, but turn it anticlockwise).The lower rotor arm can be removedsimply by pulling it upwards (fig. 2);

2. wash the rotor arms under a jet of waterto clear any blockage in the sprayheads;

3. when you have finished, refit the rotorarms in the same position, rememberingto re-align the arrow and screw intoposition.

■ Both the door lining and the tank liningare in stainless steel; however, shouldspots caused by oxidation occur, this isprobably due to a high level of iron saltspresents in the water.

■ The spots can be removed with a mildabrasive agent; never use chlorinebased materials, steel wool, etc.
