Safety instructions

• Make sure the electrical system is grounded. Otherwise, seek qualified professional assistance. The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage due to non-earthing of the machine.
• Ensure that the dishwasher does not crush power cables.
• In general, it is not advisable to use adaptors, multiple plugs, and/or extension cables.
• Do not remove the plug from the mains supply socket by pulling the mains cable or the machine itself.
• Do not leave the appliance exposed to the elements (rain, sun, etc).
• Leaning or sitting on the open door of the dishwasher could cause it to tip over.
• The dishwasher is designed for normal kitchen utensils. Objects that have been contaminated by petrol, paint, traces of steel or iron, corrosive chemicals, acids, or alkalis must not be washed in the dishwasher.
• If there is a water softening device installed in the home, there is no need to add salt to the water softener fitted in the dishwasher.
• If the appliance breaks down or stops working properly, switch it off, turn off the water supply, and do not tamper with it. Repair work should only be carried out by an approved service agent, and only genuine spare parts should be fitted. Any failure to follow the above advice may have serious consequences for the safety of the appliance.
• If you need to move the machine after removing the packaging, do not try to lift it by the bottom of the door. Open the door slightly and lift the machine by holding on to the top.
• For the installation of built-in appliances, please refer to the specific chapter or to the instructions enclosed with the booklet.

INSTALLATION IN FITTED KITCHENS

Fitting between existing cabinets

• The height of the dishwasher, 85 cm, has been designed in order to allow the machine to be fitted between existing cabinets of the same height in modern fitted kitchens. The feet can be adjusted so that the correct height is reached.
• The laminated top of the machine does not require any particular care since it is heatproof, scratchproof, and stainproof (fig. 5).

Underneath the existing worktop (when fitting beneath a worktop)

• In most modern fitted kitchens, there is only one single worktop under which cabinets and electrical appliances are fitted. In this case, remove the worktop of the dishwasher by unscrewing the screws under the rear edge of the top (fig. 6a).
• The height will then be reduced to 82 cm, as scheduled by the International Regulations (ISO), and the dishwasher will fit perfectly under the kitchen working top (fig. 7).

WATER CONNECTION

• The inlet and drain hoses can be directed to the left or the right.
• Water pressure must be between 0.08 MPa and 0.8 MPa.
• The inlet hose must be connected to a tap so that the water supply can be cut off when the machine is not in use (fig. 1B).
• The dishwasher is fitted with a 3/4″ threaded connector (fig. 2).
• Connect inlet hose “A” to water tap “B” with a 3/4″ attachment, making sure that it has been properly tightened.
• If it is necessary, the inlet pipe can be lengthened up to 2.5 m. The extension pipe is available from the After Sales Service Centre.
• If the dishwasher is connected to new pipes or to pipes that have not been in use for a long time, run water through for a few minutes before connecting the inlet hose. In this way, no deposits of sand or rust will clog up the water inflow filter.

Connecting the outlet hose

• The outlet hose should discharge into a standpipe, making sure that there are no kinks (fig. 4).
• The standpipe must be at least 40 cm above floor level, and it must have an internal diameter of at least 4 cm.
• It is advisable to fit an anti-odour air trap (fig. 4X).
• If necessary, the outlet hose can be extended up to 2.5 m, provided that it is kept at a maximum height of 85 cm above floor level. The extension pipe is available from the After Sales Service Centre.
• The hose can be hooked over the side of the sink, but it must not be immersed in water, in order to prevent water from being siphoned back to the machine when this is in operation (fig. 4Y).
• When installing the appliance under a worktop, the hose pipe clamp must be attached to the wall in the highest possible position under the worktop (fig. 4Z).
• Check that there are no kinks in the inlet and outlet hoses.

LOADING THE SALT

• The appearance of white stains on dishes is generally a warning sign that the salt container needs filling.
• At the bottom of the machine, there is a container for the salt for regenerating the softener.
• It is important to use only a salt that is specifically designed for a dishwasher. Other types of salt contain small quantities of insoluble particles, which, over a long period of time, may affect and deteriorate the softener’s performance.
• To add salt, unscrew the cap of the container on the bottom and then refill the container.
• During this operation, a little water will overflow, but keep adding salt until the container is full. When the container is full, clean the thread of salt residue and retighten the tap.
• After loading the salt, it is recommended to run a complete washing cycle or COLD RINSE programme.
• The salt dispenser has a capacity of between 1.5 and 1.8 kg, and, for efficient use of the appliance, it should be refilled from time to time according to the regulations of the water softener unit.

ADJUSTMENT OF THE UPPER BASKET

If 29 cm to 32.5 cm plates are normally used, load them onto the lower basket after the upper basket has been placed in its upper position and proceed as detailed below:

1. Turn the front stops “A” outwards.
2. Take out the basket and remount it in the upper position.
3. Replace the block “A” in its original position.

Dishes that are bigger than 20 cm in diameter can no longer be loaded onto the upper basket, and the mobile supports cannot be used when the basket is in the upper position.

LOADING DISHES

Using the upper basket

• The upper basket is provided with mobile racks hooked to the sides of the basket, which can be adjusted 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 cm or more) slightly tilted towards the rear to facilitate the 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 overturn them.
• The upper basket has been designed to offer maximum flexibility in use and can be loaded with up to 24 plates on two rows, up to 30 glasses on five rows, or a mixed load.

A standard daily load is represented in Figures 1, 2, and 3.

INFORMATION FOR THE TEST LABORATORIES

Please ask information required for comparison testing and measuring noise levels, according to EN normative, to the following address: [email protected].In the request, please specify the model name and the number of the dishwasher (see rating plate).

LOADING THE DETERGENT

The detergent

IMPORTANT: It is essential to use a detergent that is specifically designed for dishwashers, either in powder, liquid, or tablet form. “FINISH” gives very good results and can be easily obtained. Unsuitable detergents (like those for washing up by hand) do not contain the proper ingredients for use in a dishwasher and stop the dishwasher from working correctly.

Filling the detergent container

The detergent container is inside the door (fig. A “2”). If the lid of the container is closed, press the button (A) to open. At the end of every wash cycle, the lid is always open and ready for the next time the dishwasher is used.

WARNING! When loading the lower basket, please ensure that the plates or other items do not obstruct the detergent dispenser.

The amount of detergent to be used varies according to how dirty the dishes are and the type of dishes to be washed. We advise using 20–30 g of detergent in the wash section of the detergent compartment (B).

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

Since not all detergents are the same, the instructions on the boxes of detergent can vary. We should just like to remind users that too little detergent does not clean the dishes properly, whilst too much detergent will not produce better results and is also a waste.

IMPORTANT: Do not use an excessive amount of detergent, and help limit damage to the environment at the same time.

TYPES OF DETERGENT

Detergent tablets

Detergent tablets of different manufacturers dissolve at different speeds. For this reason, during short programmes, some detergent tablets may not be fully effective because they are not completely dissolved. If these products are used, it is recommended to choose longer programmes to guarantee the complete use of the detergent. IMPORTANT: To get satisfactory washing results, the tablets MUST be placed in the wash section of the detergent container and NOT directly in the tub.

Concentrated detergents

The concentrated detergents, with reduced alkalinity and with natural enzymes, in conjunction with 50°C wash programmes, have a smaller impact on the environment, and they protect the dishes and the dishwasher. The 50°C wash programmes purposely exploit the dirt-dissolving properties of the enzymes, allowing, therefore, with the use of the concentrated detergents, to achieve the same results as the 65°C programmes but at a lower temperature.

Combined detergents

The detergents that also contain the rinse aid must be placed in the wash section of the detergent container. The rinse aid container must be empty (if it is not empty, set the rinse aid regulator to the lowest position before using combined detergents).

“ALL in 1” combined detergents

If 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’s instructions given on the packaging.
• The effectiveness of detergents containing the built-in water softener/salt depends on the hardness of your water supply. Check that the hardness of your water supply is within the effective range given on the detergent packaging.
• If, when using this type of product, you don’t get satisfactory washing results, please contact the detergent manufacturer. In certain circumstances use of combined detergents can cause:
• Limescale deposits on dishes or in the dishwasher.
• A reduction in washing and drying performance.
• IMPORTANT: Any problems that arise as a direct result of the use of these products are not covered by our warranty.

Please note that using the “ALL in 1” combined detergents, the rinse aid and salt indicator lights (only used on selected models) are superfluous, so you must ignore the lights. If washing and/or drying problems occur, we recommend you return to using traditional separate products (salt, detergent, and rinse agent). This will ensure that the water softener in the dishwasher operates correctly. In this case, we recommend that you:

• Refill both the salt and rinse aid containers.
• Run one normal washing cycle without a load.

Please note that on return to the use of conventional salt, a number of cycles will be required before the system becomes fully efficient again.

LOADING THE RINSE AID

The rinse aid

The rinse aid, which is automatically released during the last rinsing cycle, helps the dishes to dry quickly and prevents spots and stains from forming.

Filling the rinse aid container

The rinse aid container can be found to the left of the detergent container (fig. A “3”). To open the lid, push the reference mark and, at the same time, pull the tab of the opening. It is always advisable to use a rinse aid that is specifically designed for a dishwasher. Check the rinse aid level through the indicator eye (C), which is located on the dispenser.

Regulating the rinse aid from 1 to 6

The regulator (D) is placed under the lid and can be turned using a coin. The recommended position is 4. The limestone content of the water considerably affects the formation of limescale and the drying performance. It is therefore important to regulate the quantity of rinse aid to achieve good washing results. If, after the wash, streaks occur on the dishes, decrease the amount by one position. If whitish spots occur, increase the amount by one position.

CLEANING THE FILTERS

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

• a central container that traps the larger particles;
• a flat gauze that continuously filters the wash water;
• a micro filter, located beneath the gauze, that traps the tiniest particles, ensuring a perfect rinse.
• To achieve excellent results every time, the filters should be checked and cleaned after each wash.
• To remove the filter unit, simply turn the handle anticlockwise (fig. 1).
• For ease of cleaning, the central container is removable (fig. 2).
• Remove the gauze filter (fig. 3) and wash the whole unit under a jet of water. If necessary, a small brush can be used.
• With the self-cleaning micro filter, maintenance is reduced, and the filter unit needs only to be checked every two weeks. Nevertheless, after each wash, it is advisable to check that the central container and the gauze filter are not clogged.
