Salt GB Salt The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard water is used in the dishwasher, deposits will form on the dishes and utensils. The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses a salt specifically designed to eliminate lime and minerals from the water. Adjusting Salt Consumption The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjusting the amount of salt consumed based on the hardness of the water used. This is intended to optimize and customize the level of salt consumption so that it remains at a minimum. To adjust salt consumption, proceed as follows: Loading the Salt into the Softener Always use salt intended for use with dishwashers. The salt container is located beneath the lower rack and should be filled as follows: - Remove the lower rack and then unscrew and remove the cap from the salt container; - If you are filling the container for the first time, fill it with water; - Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and introduce about 2 kg of salt. It is normal for a small amount of water to come out of the salt container. - Carefully screw the cap back on. - Unscrew the cap from the salt container; - There is a ring on the container with an arrow on it (see figure to the side), - If necessary, rotate the ring in an anticlockwise direction from the "-" setting towards the "+" sign, based on the hardness of the water being used. It is recommended that adjustments be made in accordance with the following schema: Water Hardness Clarke degrees Selector position Salt Autonomy consumption (cycles/2kg) (Grams/cycle) M L °dH mmol/l 0 14 M NT M NIT L NQ PS NU QQ NIU QIQ ?J?

SM OR To prevent the formation of rust, load the salt just before beginning a wash cycle. .3. Detergent and Rinse Aid GB Detergent Detergent specifically intended for use with dishwashers must be used. The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle following the instructions provided in the "Wash Cycle Table". The detergent dispenser is located on the inside panel the door. Rinse Aid This product makes dishes sparkle and helps them to dry without spotting. The dispenser is located on the inside panel of the door and should be filled after every 80 wash cycles (or when the "low rinse aid" indicator light comes on for those models with this feature). Loading the detergent To open the "A" cover on the dispenser, press the "B" button. The detergent for the wash cycle should be poured into the "C" compartment. After the detergent has been placed in the dispenser, close the cover and press down until it clicks in place. Loading the Rinse Aid Regardless of the type of detergent dispenser installed on your appliance, you must proceed as indicated below when loading the rinse aid. To open the dispenser, turn the "C" cap in an anti-clockwise direction and then pour in the rinse aid, making sure not to overfill. The amount of rinse aid used for each cycle can be regulated by turning the "F" dose adjustor, located beneath the "C" cap, with a screwdriver. There are 6 different settings; the normal dosage C setting is 3. A Important Proper dosage of the rinse aid improves drying. If drops of water remain on the dishes or spotting occurs, the dosage adjustor should be turned to a higher setting. If the dishes have white streaks, turn the dosage adjustor to a lower setting. B Notice: To facilitate closing the cover, remove any excess detergent on the edges of the dispenser. C F C .4. Loading the Dishwasher Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove larger food particles to prevent the filter from becoming clogged, which results in reduced performance. If the pots and pans have baked-on food that is extremely hard to remove, we recommend that they are soaked before washed. This will eliminate the need for extra wash cycles. Pull out the rack to load the dishwasher. GB Lower Rack Upper Rack How to use the lower rack We recommend that you place the most difficult to clean items on the bottom rack: pots, pans, lids, serving dishes and bowls, as shown in the figure to the right. It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the sides of the racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation of the top spray arm. - Pots, serving bowls, etc. must always be placed face down. - Deep pots should be slanted to allow the water to flow out. - The lower rack features fold down tine rows (see fig.A) so that larger or more pots and pans can be loaded. - The silverware basket can not be doubled (see fig.B). - Silverware should be placed in the silverware basket with the handles at the bottom; if the rack has side baskets, the spoons should be located individually into the appropriate slots. Especially long utensils should be placed in the horizontal position at the front of the upper rack. How to use the upper rack The upper rack is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware, such as glasses, cups and saucers, plates, small bowls and shallow pans (as long as they are not too dirty). - Position the dishes and cookware so that they do not get moved by the spray of water. The upper rack can be adjusted for height by using the knobs located on the sides of the rack itself (see fig.C). Load for 9 Standard Settings fig.A fig.B Shelf Lean tall glasses and those with long stems against the shelf-not against other items to be washed. Place glasses, cups and small bowls on the additional cup rack. The additional cup rack can be swivelled in or out as required (see fig.D). fig.C fig.D Knife rest The knife rest is designed to hold long knife and fork. - Place the knife rest on the correct position of upper rack, and put the long knife and fork to be washed on it. fig.E .5. Starting the Appliance Starting a wash cycle After having completed all of the installation steps in the preceding paragraphs, turn on the water to the unit, partially open the door of the dishwasher, and press the ON-OFF button "A" located on the control panel. The "B" indicator light will come on. At this point, the appliance is on and ready to be programmed. GB At the end of the wash cycle... The end of the cycle will be indicated by a double acoustical signal and the blinking of the "A" indicator light. Open the door, turn off the appliance using the ON-OFF switch and turn off the water supply to the unit. Wait a few minutes before removing the dishes so as to avoid handling them while still hot (when they are more susceptible to breakage) and to get better drying results. Setting and Starting a wash Cycle Choose the desired cycle by pressing the cycle selection button "P". Each time it is pressed, one of the cycle indicator lights "A" will come on in succession. Choose the wash cycle you feel is most appropriate for the type of dishes that need washing (consult the wash cycle table contained in this manual, especially when first using the appliance). Close the door and after a few seconds, a short acoustic signal will sound indicating that the wash cycle has begun and cannot be modified. If necessary, read the paragraph entitled, "Cancelling or modifying a cycle while underway". The end of the cycle will be signalled by a double acoustic sound, and the indicator light "M" will begin to blink. Setting The Start Delay Time Open the door of the dishwasher partially. If the "C" button is pressed (see, Close-up View" Control Panel"). The start time for the wash cycle can be delayed for 2,4 or 6 hours. Each time the button is pressed, the "D" light will come on indicating the length of the delay. After selecting the delay time, the wash cycle can be set, as explained in "Starting a wash cycle..." There will be a short acoustic signal, and at this point the delay period will begin to count down. During this period the delay indicator light (D) will blink. At the end of the delay time, the indicator will stop blinking and the cycle will start. Cancelling or modifying a cycle while underway... Premise: A cycle that is underway can only be modified if it has only been running for a short time. Otherwise, the detergent may have already been used, and the appliance may have already drained the wash water. If this is the case, the detergent dispenser must be refilled (see the paragraph entitled, "Loading the Detergent"). NOTE: a) During the delay period, none of the settings can be modified. If necessary, they can be cancelled by pressing cycle selector "P" for about 5 seconds. b) If the power to the appliance goes off or the door is opened during the delay period, the clock will stop the countdown. It will start again when the power has come back on, or when the door has been closed. To change the cycle currently underway, open the door, press the "P" programming button and hold it in for about 5 seconds. Once the cycle has been cancelled, the dishwasher will emit a short acoustic sound and the relative indicator light will turn off. Wash Cycle Adjustment Buttons To set a new wash cycle, follow the instructions contained in the paragraph entitled, "Setting and Starting a Wash Cycle". 1/2 Load Button This button (see" Close-up View-Control Panel", letter "B") makes it possible to wash dishes using only the upper rack if there are not enough dishes for a full load, This will allow you to save on water and electrical energy. If you forget to load some of the dishes... The wash cycle can be interrupted by opening the door carefully (in order to avoid being sprayed by hot water). When the door is closed again, the cycle will automatically restart at the point where it left off. It cannot be used with the heavy duty wash cycles. .6.
