Loading dishes
To load dishes
For good washing results it is important to remove any remains
from the dishes (bones, tooth picks, the remains of meat and
vegetables)toavoid blocking thefilters,water outlet andwashing
arm nozzles and, as a result, reduce washing efficiency.
Try not to rinse the dishes before loading them into the dish-
washer.
Ifsaucepansand oven dishesareparticularlyencrusted withthe
remainsofburntorroastfood,itisadvisabletoleavethemtosoak
before washing.
Using the upper basket
The upper basket is provided with mobile racks hooked to the
sides of the basket which can be regulated in two positions:
upright and lowered. In the lowered position the racks may be
usedforteaandcoffeecups,kitchenknivesandladles.Glasses
with stems may be safely hung on the ends of the racks.
Glasses, cups, saucers and dessert plates may be loaded
under the racks.
Soup plates and ordinary plates may be loaded with the rack in
the upright position.
Plates should be loaded vertically with the bottom 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 plates of the same size together in order
to utilize maximum basket capacity.
Plates may be loaded in a single row (Fig. 1) or on both rows
(Fig. 2).
It is advisable to load large plates (approx. 270 mm.) slightly
tilted towards the rear to facilitate introduction of the basket into
the machine.
Salad bowls and other 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.
Theupperbaskethas been designed to offermaximumflexibility
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.
Using the lower basket
Saucepans, oven dishes, tureens, salad bowls, lids, serving
dishes, dinner plates, soup plates and ladles can be loaded on
the lower basket.
Place the cutlery in the plastic cutlery holder with the handles
pointing upwards.
Placethecutleryholder on the lower basket (fig. 3), making sure
that the cutlery does not get in the way of the rotating arms.
49
Closing the door
Place the baskets in the machine.
Make sure that both the spray arms are free to rotate and are not
obstructed by cutlery, crockery or pans.
Close the door, pressing on it to make sure it is firmly shut.
The filtration system is made up of:
- The central cup, which retains the coarsest
dirt.
- The filter plate, that filters the dish water
continuously.
- The microfilter, under the filter plate which
traps even the smallest specks of dirt to en-
sure excellent rinsing.
Every time the machine is used, before you wash the pots, you should pass the filters
under a wide open water tap, brush them as necessary with a small laundry brush to
remove dirt and examine them carefully. In this fashion you can get the best washing
results. To remove filters, grip the whole filter (fig. 9 "B") by the handle and lift it up.
The central filter cup may be removed to assure easy cleaning.
Very little maintenance work is necessary for this model equipped with Self-
cleaningMicrofilter and the filter assembly should be inspected once fortnightly.
After each wash, make sure that the central filter cup is not clogged.
Beware:afteryou havecleaned the filters,make sure thatthey are fittedtogether
correctly and that the filter plate is fitted properly to the bottom of the appliance.
Theappliancewillnotworkproperlywhenthefilterassemblyisfittedincorrectly.
Important: do not use the dishwasher without the filter.

Filling the detergent container
55
It is essential to use a specific dishwasher
detergent 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.
Normal wash
Thedetergentcontainer isinsidethe door(fig.
9 “C”). If the lid of the container is closed it is
sufficient to press the button to open. At the
endofeverywashcyclethelidisalwaysopen
and ready for the next time the dishwasher is
used.
The amount of detergent to be used varies
accordingtohowdirtythedishestobewashed
are and on the type of dishes to be washed.
We advise using 20-30 gr. of detergent in the
wash section of detergent compartment (1).
After pouring the detergent into the con-
tainer close the lid.
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 not only
does not produce better results but is also a
waste. Do not use an excessive amount of
detergent help to limit damage to the envi-
ronment at the same time.
Wash with soaking cycle (some models
only)
Ifsettingtheintensive washprogramme, ase-
conddoseofabout20gr.ofdetergent(1table-
spoon) must be added to the machine in the
prewash section of detergent compartment
(2).

lower basket after the upper basket has been placed in its upper
position and proceed as follows:
1) Turn the front stops Aoutwards.
2) Take out the basket and remount it in the upper position.
3) Replace the blocks Ain their original position.
Dishes that are bigger than 20 cm in diameter can now no longer
be loaded onto the upper basket and the mobile supports cannot
be used when the basket is in the upper position.

Filling the rinse aid container
On the right of the detergent container the
rinse aid container can be found: it has a
capacity of about 130 ml. (Fig 9 "D"). Turn the
cap (3) anticlockwise and pour the liquid that
will last several washes, up to the maximum
level shown. Replace the cap.
The rinse aid, which is automatically released
during the last rinsing cycle, helps the dishes
to dry quickly and prevents the formation of
spots and stains.
It is always advisable to use rinse aid.

Water softener
According to the area, tap water contains a
variable amount of mineral and calcareous
salts which deposit on dishes leaving stains
and white deposits.
The higher the concentration of these salts,
the harder the water.
Thismachineisprovidedwithawatersoftener
which uses a specific regenerator salt which
softens the water for dish-washing purposes.
The water softener can treat water with hard-
ness between 16 and 60°F (French degrees)
by means of five different settings.
The local Water Board can supply the degree
of hardness of the water in your area.
The following table illustrates the level
corresponding to the hardness of the water of
your area and indications as to necessary
setting adjustments:
* The water softener is set by the factory at

If the water in your area is at level 1, it is not
necessary to use regenerator salt or carry out
any adjustments since the water is already

2) If the dishes are not very dirty or if the baskets are not very full select
the ECONOMY programme, following the instructions in the program list.
How to get really good wash RESULTS
1) Place the dishes face downwards.
2) 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.
3)Beforeplacingthedishesinthedishwasherremoveanyremainingfood

4) After loading the dishes check that the washing arms can rotate freely.
5)Pansandotherdishesthathaveparticularlypersistentfoodparticlesor
remnants of burnt food should be left to soak in water with dishwasher

6) To wash silver properly:
a) rinse the silver immediately after use, especially if it has been used for
mayonnaise, eggs, fish etc.
b) do not sprinkle detergent onto it
c) keep it separate from other metals
What to DO if
1) You want to stop the dishwasher to put in more dishes whilst it is in the
middle of a wash.
Open the door only after pressing the O/I button so that the dishwasher is
in OFF.
Afterclosingthedoor,wait3minutesbeforestartingupthemachineagain.
What not to wash if
It should also 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 or crystal or leaded glass unless otherwise stated.
Certaindecorationsmayfade.Itisthereforeagoodideabeforeloadingthe
whole batch to wash just one of the items first so as to be sure that others
like it will not fade.
It is also 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.
IMPORTANT
When buying new crockery or cutlery always make sure that they are
suitable for washing in a dishwasher.

The outside of the cabinet can be cleaned with a non-abrasive
cleaning agent suitable for a gloss finish.
Thedishwasherdoesnot require specialmaintenance,because
the tank is self- cleaning. Regularly wipe the door gasket with a
damp cloth to remove any food remains or rinse aid. It is advisa-
bletoremovelimestonedepositsordirtperiodically,bydoingan
emptywash;pouraglassofvinegaronthebottomofthetankand
select the light wash.
If, having already cleaned beforehand the cup filter, dishes and
pansappearnottohavebeenwashed or rinsed well, check that
all holes in the spray arms are free of food deposits.
If they are blocked, proceed as follows:
– remove the racks;
– unscrewsclockwise theringnuts thatholdthesprayarms in
position (fig. 9 "A");
– wash spray arms under running water and remove any de-
posits from the blocked holes;
– refit spray arms and screws on ring nuts, anticlockwise.
The water heater element is made of a special stainless steel
which after a while may change colour; this does not in any way
affect its performance or its working life.
Both the door lining and the tank lining are in stainless steel; ho-
wever, 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.

N.B.: Should any of the situations occur and should the machine give a bad washing performance,
it is necessary to remove the deposits from the dishes by hand since the final drying cycle hardens
the deposits which a second wash in the machine would not be able to remove.
If the malfunction continues contact a Service Centre quoting the serial number of the dishwasher.
This is to found on the plaque on the inside of the dishwasher door at the top or on the guarantee.
This information will make it possible to take more effective action more quickly.

Put the detergent in its dispenser and load the
dishes, spacing them out in the baskets (e.g. in
alternate slots in the rack):
Press the button again, for about 2
seconds. Close the door. After about 18 minutes
the wash cycle will come to an end and the
audible signal will sound.

naturally and press to switch off.
Attention
Thisdishwasheris equippedwithan anti-overflow
safety device which works even when power is
switched off, and closing off the water flow if,
due to a possible malfunction, it exceeds the
normal level.

overflow safety device, it is recom-mended not
tomoveorto tilt thedishwasherduringoperation.
Ifitisnecessaryto move or to tilt the dishwasher,
first make sure the washing cycle is finished
and that no water is left in the tank.
IMPORTANT
1) It is not advisable to open the door while
the machine is in operation, particularly during
the middle stage of the wash pro-gramme
and the final hot rinse. Should anyone open
the door inadvertently, the machine will
automatically stop.
2) whenever you want to interrupt a pro-
gramme in progress, to select either the
same or a different programme, the program-
mer must be brought to an end as follows:
- open the door
- hold down the cold pre-wash button
for 10 seconds
- close the door
- wait for the end of the programme (2-3
minutes)
- when the acoustic signal stops, open the
door; the end of cycle indicator light must

- switch off the On/Off button
- reset on programme
- before starting the new programme, make
sure that the detergent has not already
been released. If it has, then top up the

The waterblock system
20
The waterblock system has been designed to improve the
safety of your appliance, particularly for those times when the
machine is left unattended.
The waterblock system actually prevents flooding which might
be caused by a machine malfunction or as a result of a fracture
on the pipes.
How does waterblock work
The sump located in the base of the appliance collects any
possible water leakage and operates a sensor which
subsequently activates a valve placed under the water tap and
stops any water from the supply even with the tap fully opened.
The activation of the valve is signalled by a red pin which clicks
up and it is visible under a transparent cover of the valve. It is
recommended that the tap is switched off and the appliance is
disconnected from the power supply once the waterblock has
been activated. A Service Engineer must be contacted to
restore the appliance.
