Knives and other utensils with sharp points must be loaded in the basket with their points down or placed in a horizontal position. INSTALLATION (Technical notes) After unpacking, adjust the height of the dishwasher. For the dishwasher to work correctly it must be level. Adjust the feet so that the machine does not tilt by more than 2 degrees. If it you need to move the machine after removing the packaging, do not try to lift it by the bottom of the door. Follow the instructions in the figure. Open the door slightly and lift the machine by holding on the top. IMPORTANT When the appliance is located on a carpet floor, attention must be paid to ensure that there is no obstruction to the bottom vents. Make sure that the plug on the appliance remains accessible after installation. Installation Daily use Make sure that the plug fitted to the machine is compatible with the power supply socket. If it is not, get a suitably qualified person to fit the correct type, and to make sure that the cables to the mains socket are able to cope with the power rating of the appliance. Ensure that the dishwasher does not crush power cables. In general it is not advisable to use adaptors, multiple plugs and/or extension cables. Should it be necessary to replace the supply cord, call the After Sales Service Centre. This appliance is be designed for domestic use only. The dishwasher is designed for normal kitchen utensils. Objects that have been contamined 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. Cutlery is washed best if it is placed in the basket with the handles downwards. 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. Electrical connection Plug your dishwasher into the power socket. If the plug we supply does not fit : CUT IT OFF AND DESTROY IT! You can't use it on other appliances, and the exposed wires could be dangerous if anyone plugged it in. Fit a suitable plug, as follows: Safety Never touch the appliance when your hands or feet are wet or damp. Do not use when your feet are bare. 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). Do not let children (or others incapable of operating it) use the machine without supervision. Water left in the machine or on the dishes at the end of the wash programme should not be swallowed. The door should not be left in the open position since this could present a potential hazard ( es. tripping ). Leaning or sitting on the open door of the dishwasher could cause it to tip over. 4 WARNING! THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. Fuses and plugs This appliance should be used only on a socket with a minimum rating of 13 Amp. Our ready-fitted plug is already equipped with a 13 amp fuse which is BS 1362 ASTA approved. Any replacement should be exactly the same. If the fuse cover is lost, do not use the plug until it is replaced. A correct replacement fuse cover (obtainable from your dealer or Electricity board) must be the same colour as shown or named on the insert on the base of the plug. Manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage due to non-earthing of the machine. This appliance complies with Directives 89/336/EEC, 73/23/EEC and following changes. 5 Disposal The dishwasher has been made from materials which can be recycled so that it can be disposed of in an environmentally friendly way. If you wish to dispose of an old dishwasher be careful to remove the door to eliminate the risk of children becoming trapped inside it. Connect to the terminal in the plug Marked with the letter E, Green and yellow wire OR marked with the Earth symbol, OR coloured green, OR coloured green and yellow. Blue wire Brown wire Marked N, OR coloured black. Marked L, OR coloured red. Water connection IMPORTANT The appliance must be connected to the water mains using new hose-sets. The old hose-sets should not be reused. Connecting the outlet hose 1 The outlet hose should disharge 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 syphoned 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. The inlet and drain hoses can be directed to left or right. IMPORTANT The dishwasher can be connected to either cold or hot water, as long as it is no hotter than 60 °C. Water pressure must be between 0,08 MPa and 0,8 MPa. If the pressure is below the minimum consult our service department for advice. 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. 1 B). The dishwasher is fitted with 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 limescale deposits or sand are present in the water, it is advisable to obtain the appropriate filter, art. 9226085, from the After Sales Service Centre (fig. 3). The filter "D" must be inserted between the tap "B" and the inlet hose "A", remembering to fit the washer "C". If the dishwasher is connected to new pipes or to pipes which 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. 2 4 3 6 7 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 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). The work top can be easily adjusted to line it with the top of existing cabinets; this is done by moving it by 5 mm each time up to a maximum of 25 mm. To adjust it, unscrew the two screws at the back and fix the top in the position required (fig. 6). Underneath existing work top (when fitting beneath a work top) In most modern fitted kitchens there is only one single work top under which cabinets and electrical appliances are fitted. In this case remove the work top of the dishwasher by unscrewing the screws under the rear edge of the top (fig. 6). 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 SOFTENER UNIT Depending on the source of the supply, water contains varying amounts of limestone and minerals which are deposited on the dishes leaving whitish stains and marks. The higher the level of these minerals present in the water, the harder the water is. The dishwasher is fitted with a water softener unit which, through the use of special regenerating salt, supplies softened water for washing the dishes. The softener unit can treat water with a hardness of up to 60°fH (French grading) or 33°dH (German grading) through five different settings. The degree of hardness of your water can be obtained from your water supply company. If your water is at level 0, you need not use any regenerating salt, nor need you make any adjustment, as your water is soft. According to the degree of hardness of your water, regulate the softener unit in the following way: 1. remove the lower rack. Unscrew and remove the cap from the salt dispenser located in the bottom of the tub (fig. A"1"); 2. turn the selector screw to the required position with a screwdriver or a knife. Regulating the water softener The table below lists different degrees of water hardness with the corresponding setting for the softener unit. TYPE 1 5 6 7 *The water softener unit is set in the factory at level 2, as this is suitable for the majority of users.
