Then, consult the section entitled, "Troubleshooting. "If you can not solve the problem, contact a service centre. - Only specialised personnel are authorised to make repairs. - Appliances which are no longer being used must be made inoperable by cutting the power supply cord and removing the door lock. - The appliance must be positioned so that the plug is accessible. - The carpet must not obstruct the opening when the appliance installing on the ground with carpet. - If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or its service agent. Installation Positioning the Appliance Position the appliance in the desired location. The back should rest against the wall behind it, and the sides, along the adjacent cabinets or wall. The dishwasher is equipped with water supply and drain hoses that can be positioned to the right or the left to facilitate proper installation. Drain Hose Connection Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe with a minimum diameter of 4cm, or let it run into the sink, making sure to avoid bending or crimping it. Use the special plastic support that comes with the appliance (see fig.C). The free end of the hose must be at a height between 40 and 100 cm and must not be immersed in water. This appliance complies with the following EEC directives: - 73/23/EEC of 19/02/73 (Low Voltage) and subsequent modifications; - 89/336/EEC of 03/05/89 (Electromagnetic Compatibility) and subsequent modifications. - Carefully dispose of the packing material. - After removing the packing, check to make sure that the appliance is not damaged. If in doubt, contact a qualified professional. - The dishwasher must only be used by adults for the washing of household dishes and cooking utensils. - Fundamental rules to follow when using the appliance: * Never touch the dishwasher when bare foot or with wet hands or feet; * We discourage the use of extension cords and multiple sockets; * During installation, the power supply cord must not be excessively or dangerously bent or flattened; Levelling the Appliance Once the appliance is positioned, adjust the feet (screwing them in or out) to adjust the dishwasher, making it level. In any case, the appliance should not be inclined more than 2 . If the appliance is level, it will help ensure proper performance. Cold Water Connection Connect the cold water supply hose to a threaded 3/4 (gas) connector and make sure that it is fastened tightly in place (see fig.1/ A). Some models have an "Acquablock" water supply pipe (see fig.1/B) with filter in the threaded inlet. If the water pipes are new or have not been used for an extended period of time, let the water run to make sure that the water is clear and free of impurities. If this precaution is not taken, there is a risk that the water inlet can get blocked and damage the appliance. fig.C Hot Water Connection The water supply to the appliance can also be connected to the house's hot water line (centralised system, heating system), as long as it does not exceed a temperature of 60 . In this case, the wash cycle time will be shortened by about 15 minutes and the wash efficiency slightly reduced. The connection must be made to the hot water line following the same procedures as those for the connection to the cold water line. Attention: The special plastic hose support must be solidly fastened to the wall to prevent the drain hose from moving and allowing water to spill outside the drain. Close-up View (Control Panel) A BC Electrical Connection After making sure that the voltage and frequency values for the current in the home correspond to those on the rating plate (located on the stainless steel inner door of the appliance) and that the electrical system is sized for the maximum voltage on the rating plate, insert the plug into an electrical socket which is earthed properly (the earthing of the appliance is a safety requirement mandated by law). If the electrical socket to which the appliance must be connected is not appropriate for the plug, replace the plug, rather than using adaptors or the like as they could cause overheating and burns.

Cleaning and Special Maintenance Filter Assembly For the best performance and results, the filter assembly must be cleaned. The filter efficiently removes food particles from the wash water, allowing it to be recirculated during the cycle. For this reason, it is a good idea to remove the larger food particles trapped in the filter after each wash cycle by rinsing the "A" semi-circular filter and cup under running water. To remove the filter assembly, pull on the cup handle in the upward direction. The entire filter assembly (made up of the "A" semicircular filter and the "B" fine filter) should be cleaned at least once a month. To clean the filter and the fine filter, use a cleaning brush. Then, reassemble the filter parts as shown in the figures below and reinsert the entire assembly in the dishwasher, positioning in its seat and pressing downward. The dishwasher must never be used without the filters. Improper replacement of the filters may reduce level of the appliance and damage dishes and utensils. Close-up View (Interior) Cleaning the Spray Arms It may happen that food particle become encrusted on the sprayer arms and block the hole. Check the sprayer arms periodically and clean them when needed. (See "Close up view [interior]" , letters C-E ). B A Cleaning the Water Inlet Filter Periodically clean the water inlet filter (see figure 1/A) located on the outlet of the water supply tap. After turning off the water tap, 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 back into position. Troubleshooting It may occur that the dishwasher does not function or does not function properly. Before calling for assistance, Iet us see what can be done first: have you forgotten to press one of the buttons or to perform an essential operation? - the water supply to the house on and has sufficient pressure; - the water supply hose is crimped or bent; - the filter for the water supply hose is clogged.

GB GB .2. Salt 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 utensils. The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses a salt specifically designed to eliminate lime and minerals from the water. Energy Saving Tips Adjusting Salt Consumption The dishwasher is equipped with a system to adjust the level of salt consumption in function of the hardness of the water being used in order to optimize and customize the level of salt consumption while keeping it to a minimum. To adjust salt consumption level, follow these instructions: - It is important to try and run the dishwasher when it is fully loaded to save on energy. In order to prevent odors from forming and food from caking onto the dishes, you can run the hold cycle. - Choose the right wash cycle: the choice of cycle depends on the type of dishware, cookware and utensils being washed and how dirty they are. - Use the right amount of detergent: if you use too much detergent, the result will not be cleaner dishes, but, rather, a greater negative impact on the environment. - There is no utility in rinsing dishes, cookware and untensils before placing them in the dishwasher. 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 container. - Carefully screw the cap back on. - Unscrew the cap on the salt container; - On the container there is an arrow (see figure to the side). If necessary, turn the arrow in the anti-clockwise direction from the "-" setting to the "+" setting based on the hardness of the water being used. - It is highly recommended that the table be consulted when making adjustments . How to Keep Your Dishwasher in Shape After Every Wash After every wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance and leave the door slightly ajar so that moisture and odors are not trapped inside. When You Go on Holiday When you go on holiday, it is recommended that you run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and then remove the plug from the socket, turn off the water supply and leave the door of the appliance slightly ajar. This will help the seals last longer and prevent odors from forming within the appliance. Water Hardness The salt container should be filled after about every 30 wash cycles.

OM QM SM PS [TN TN QM OR To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. Rather, use only a cloth and warm soap water. To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use a cloth dampened with water and a little white vinegar, or a cleaning products made specifically for dishwasher. Seals One of the factors that cause odors to form in the dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning with a sponge will prevent this from occurring. [UV [UIV SM .3.
