How to load your dishes
First of all.
Before placing the dishes in the
racks, remove the largest scraps
offood leftover onyour plates,you
will thus avoid blocking the filter,
which would reduce the efficacy
of the wash.
If the saucepans and frying pans
are very dirty, allow them to soak
before being washed. To make it
easier to load your dishes, pull the
racksout.
What goes into the
lower rack?
Werecommendyouplacethemost
difficult dishes to wash into the
lower rack: saucepans, lids, soup
dishes and plates (a load example
isshown in the photo).
 Serving dishes and large
lids: place them on the sides
of the rack.
 Saucepans, salad bowls:
must always be placed upside
down
 Very deep dishes: place
them obliquely, thus allowing
water to run down them and
cleaning them better
The lower rack has tip-up sectors
(see figure B), so you can place
even more saucepans and frying
pans or make room for the larger
ones.
Place the cutlery with the handles
at the bottom; if the basket is the
one with side inserts, then insert
theteaspoons one by one into the
slots (see figure A).
Before washing, a few small steps can help you get a better wash and keep your dishwasher for longer.
Remove the largest scraps of food left over on your plates, soak saucepans and frying pans with tough
incrustations. After loading your dishes, make sure the blades on the sprayer arm turn well

Detergent and rinse aid
The rinse aid.
Thisproduct makesdishes sparkle
more as it improves their drying.
The rinse aid container is situated
onthe insideof theappliancedoor;
you should refill it when you see
the container is empty by means
ofindicator D.
(Ifyourdishwasher is fitted with a
low rinse aid indicator light, fill
thecontainerupwhentheindicator
light flashes or lights up).
Loading the rinse aid.
To open the dispenser, turn cap C
anticlockwise.Takecarewhenyou
pour in the rinse aid to avoid it
overflowing. You can adapt the
amount of rinse aid used by the
dishwasher: regulate the adjuster
F which you will find under lid C.
The detergent
Loading the detergent
To open lid A, press button B. The
detergent should be poured into
the two containers C and D up to
the rim.
Now you can close the lid: press it
down until you hear it click.
If you prefer to use the detergent
in tablets, place one of these in
container "D". Now you can close
the lid: press it down until you
hearitclick.
It won't close!
Check whether there is any
detergent residue on the edges
of the dispenser. It is due to this
residue that the lid won't close.
Get rid of it and you'll see that it
closes.
Only use specific dishwasher detergents. Pour the detergent into the
dispenser on the inside of the door. Before the wash cycle starts!
Useful tips
Proper dosage of
the rinse aid
improves drying.
If drops of water
remain on the
dishes or spotting
occurs, turn the
dosage adjuster to
a higher setting.
If, on the other
hand, the dishes
have white
streaks, then turn
the dosage
adjuster down to
a lower setting.
You can choose from six different positions. It is
normally set to 2.
 Use the right
amount of
detergent: if
you use too
much, you will
not get cleaner
dishes, but just
more
environmental
pollution.
 Keep your
dishwasher
detergent and
rinse aid in a
cool, dry place
and away from
children.

DISHWASHER Never without salt
Loading the salt.
Always use salt which is intended
for dishwasher use.
The salt container is situated
underneath the lower rack, fill it
up as follows:
1.Pull out the lower rack
completely, unscrew and
remove the container cap
2. Is it the first time you load the
salt? First fill the container up
with water (you won't have to
do this again next time)
3. Put the dishwasher funnel on
the hole and pour in
approximately two kilos of salt.
It is normal that some water
comes out of the container.
4. Screw the cap back in place
carefully.
Water in your home
When should I load the
salt?
The salt container should be filled
up when the low salt indicator light
"S" flashes. Your appliance will re-
mind you to do so for three con-
secutive wash cycles.
Salt adjustment
Your dishwasher can adjust its salt
consumptionaccordingtothe hard-
ness of the water in your home.
This way, you can optimise and
customise your dishwasher's salt
consumption(not too much,nor too
little).
To adjust salt consumption, do
as follows:
1. Unscrew the salt container cap
2. There is an arrow on the neck
of the container (see figure): if
necessary, turn the arrow anti-
clockwise from the "-" setting
to the "+" setting.
Select the arrow position
depending on the water
hardness, referring to the table
provided.
Water hardness varies according to where you live. If the water in your home is
hard, without water softening, incrustations would form on your dishes. Your
dishwasher is fitted with a water softener which uses special salt to get rid of
limescale in the water.
Using your electric household appliances
wisely helps you make savings and is
good for the environment.
Savings are easy
Maximum load.
To optimise consumption levels, try to use the
dishwasher with a full load only. If it takes
quite some time to fill up your dishwasher,
use the soak cycle to avoid the formation of
bad odours and caked-on food.
The right wash cycle.
Select the most suitable wash cycle for the
type of load you have placed in the dishwasher.
The choice of wash cycle depends on the type
of dishes to wash and on how dirty they are.
To select the right wash cycle, please consult
the wash cycle table on page 6.

ARISTON DISHWASHER - Instructions for installation and use 11
DISHWASHER
Cleaning and special maintenance
The filter assembly
If you want consistent good
resultsfrom your dishwasher,you
need to clean the filter assembly.
The food particles are removed
from the wash water, allowing it
tobe recirculated during thecycle,
filtered perfectly. For this reason,
it is a good idea to remove the
larger food particles trapped
inside the cup C and the semi-
circular filter Aafter each wash;
pull the cup handle upwards to
remove them. Just rinse them
under running water.
The entire filter assembly should
be cleaned thoroughly once a
month:cupC + semi-circular filter
A+cylindrical filter B. Rotate filter
B anticlockwise to remove it.
For cleaning, use a non metallic
brush.
Reassemble the filter parts (as
shown in the figure) and reinsert
the whole assembly into the
dishwasher. Position it into its
housing and press downwards.
The dishwasher is not to be used
without filters. Improper
replacement of the filters may re-
duce the efficiency of the wash
and even damage your
dishwasher.
Cleaning the sprayer
arms.
Food residue may become
encrusted onto the sprayer arms
and block the holes where water
comesout.Check thesprayerarms
regularlyandcleanthem once in a
while.
Cleaning the Water Inlet
Filter
Periodically clean the water inlet
filter (see figure 2 under
"Installation")located on theoutlet
of the water supply tap. After
turningoffthewatertap,unscrew
the end of the water supply hose,
remove the filter and clean it
carefully under running water.
Then, return the filter to its place
and tighten the water supply hose
backinto position.
Once in a while,
once a month,
spend a little time
on the filter
assembly and the
sprayer arms.
Keep your dishwasher in shape
Respecting these few rules ensures you will always
have a reliable work companion by your side.
After every wash.
When the wash cycle has ended,
always remember to turn off the
water supply tap and to leave the
appliance door ajar. This way,
moisture and bad odours will not
betrapped inside.
Unplug the appliance.
Before carrying out any cleaning
ormaintenanceon thedishwasher,
always remove the plug from the
electricitysocket. Do notrun risks.
No solvents! No abrasives!
To clean the exterior and rubber
partsof your appliance, do not use
solvents or abrasive cleaning
products. Use a cloth dampened
withlukewarm soapy water only.
If there are any stains on the
surface of the appliance interior,
use a cloth dampened with water
and a little white vinegar, or a
cleaningproductspecificallymade
fordishwashers.
Going on holiday?
Whenyougo awayfor anextended
periodoftime, werecommend you
dothe following:
run a cycle with the dishwasher
empty
turn off the water inlet tap.
leave the appliance door ajar
This will help the seals last longer
and prevent unpleasant odours
fromforming inside the appliance.
Moving the appliance.
Should the appliance have to be
moved, try to keep it in a vertical
position.If absolutely necessary,it
canbepositioned on its back.
The seals.
One of the factors that cause
unpleasant odours to form inside
thedishwasherisfoodthatremains
trapped in the seals. Periodic
cleaningusing a damp sponge will
preventthis from occurring.
Your dishwasher is not a waste
disintegrator!
Do not worry about removing every
single bit of food residue from your
dishes, but do get rid of bones, peel and
rind and any other left-overs before
placing them in the racks. Empty out
all glasses and cups.
