"Cancel" push button 18 Before use Before using your dishwasher for the first time: 1. Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply with the installation instructions 2. Remove all packaging from inside the appliance 3. Set the water softener 4. Pour 1 litre of water inside the salt container and then fill with salt 5. Fill the rinse aid dispenser. 6. Run a "Rinse and Hold" programme. SO424 3. 5 seconds after this button has last been pressed, the dishwasher memorises the level selected and returns to the programme setting mode. The setting will remain memorised after switching off the dishwasher. Setting the water softener The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener designed to remove minerals and salts from the water supply, which would have a detrimental or adverse effect on the operation of the appliance. The higher the content of these salts, the harder your water is. Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, German degrees, French degrees and PPM (parts per Million). The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water in your area. Your local Water Authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area. The dishwasher is factory set at level 4. If this level is not suitable for your area the softener should be adjusted. Water hardness French degrees °TH 0-8 9 - 14 15 - 20 21 - 30 31 - 40 41 - 50 51 - 60 61 - 70 71 - 80 81 - 120 German degrees °dH 0-4 5-8 9 - 11 12 - 17 18 - 22 23 - 28 29 - 33 34 - 39 40 - 45 46 - 67 PPM (parts per million) Filling with salt Only use salt specifically designed for use in dishwashers. All other types of salt not specifically designed for use in a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water softener. Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete washing programmes. This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been spilled, remaining on the bottom of the machine for any period of time, which may cause corrosion. To fill: Level Use of salt NO YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES 1. To fill with salt, unscrew the cap of the salt container. 2. Pour 1 litre of water inside the container (this is necessary only before filling with salt for the first time). 3. Using the funnel provided, pour in the salt until the container is full. Do not worry if water over flows from the unit when filling with salt, this is quite normal.

Replace the cap making sure that there is no trace of salt on the screw thread or on the gasket. 5. Screw on the cap tightly. The salt container will require topping up periodically. If your water is level 0 it is already soft and therefore there is no need to use salt. With the setting of the water softener at level 0 the salt indicator light on the control panel will always remain off. Use salt from level 1 upwards. The adjustment of the water softener is possible only with the machine in setting mode. You are reminded of this by the salt indicator light on the control panel which comes on when the salt has finished. The salt indicator light on the control panel can remain illuminated for 2-6 hours after the salt has been replenished, assuming the dishwasher remains switched on. If you are using salts that take longer to dissolve then this can take longer. The function of the machine is not affected. To select a different level proceed as follows: 1. Press "half load" and "drying options" push buttons simultaneously for about 5 seconds. In the display appears a "L" followed by a number which corresponds to the current level. 2. Press within 5 seconds the "drying options" push button (the "no dry" indicator light flashes) as many times as necessary until the required level appears in the display. The level increases by 1 each time the button is pressed. 19 Rinse aid Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying. The dispenser, which is positioned inside the door, holds about 110 ml of rinse aid, which is sufficient for 16 - 40 dishwashing programmes, depending upon the dosage setting. Use of detergent Only use detergents specifically designed for use in dishwashers. If using powder detergents proceed as follows: 1. Open the dispenser lid by pulling the catch (D). 2. Add the detergent according to the recommended quantity given in the "Washing programmes" chart. As all detergents are not the same, you should consult the instructions on the packet. 3. Always close the lid. 4. If the programme has a prewash add a little amount of detergent over the lid of the detergent dispenser. Follow the recommended quantity of detergent given in the "Washing programmes" chart. Min = 15 g Max = 30 g D Filling with rinse aid 1. Open the container by turning the lid (A) anticlockwise. 2. Add the rinse aid until the container is completely full. The indicator (B) will be completely dark. 3. Top up the rinse aid when the rinse aid indicator light on the control panel illuminates. B m a x 6543 A BR01 BR03 DE17 DE02 Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill. Do not put liquid detergent in the rinse aid compartment. Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next wash. If using detergent in tablets proceed as follows: 1. For all programmes; place 1 tablet inside the detergent dispenser. 2. Always close the lid. 3. For all programmes with prewash; place a portion of a further tablet on the lid of the detergent dispenser. Insufficient quantities of detergent will produce poor washing results, whereas an excessive amount of detergent will not improve washing results and is also wasteful. Using no more than the correct amount also contributes to reducing pollution. Adjusting the dose According to the finish and drying results obtained, adjust the dose of rinse aid by means of the 6 position selector (C) (position 1 minimum dosage, position 6 maximum dosage). Increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on the dishes after washing. Reduce it if there are sticky whitish streaks on the dishes. C x Compact detergents with enzymes In these compact powders the environmentally unfriendly components have been replaced by natural enzymes and other more biodegradable substances. The enzymes deploy their full dirt dissolving power at a temperature as low as 50°C. m a 6543 BR02 By choosing the "Bio 50°C" programmes you can therefore achieve the same cleaning results that would otherwise be achievable only with 65°C programmes and conventional detergents. These new compact powders are generally phosphate-free. 20 M M IN AX 21 21 Using your appliance Loading your appliance Before placing dishes in the machine, remove any scraps of food, to avoid clogging the filters and consequently reducing the performance. Do not load very small items which can fall through the baskets. Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes. Cutlery should be placed in the removable cutlery basket with the handles facing downwards. If the handles protrude from the bottom of the basket, obstructing the lower spray arm, load the cutlery with the handles facing upwards. Ensure that cutlery is positioned in the compartments and that soiled surfaces do not touch each other. Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent them from sticking together. Silver cutlery tends to go black if mixed with steel cutlery. Place it in the cutlery basket separate from the others. For best results we recommend to use the cutlery grid provided (if the size and dimensions of the cutlery allow it). The lower basket The lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery etc. Large dishes and lids should be arranged around the edge of the basket, ensuring that the upper spray arm can turn freely. UI04 UI71 UI49 UI19 The two rear rows of prongs on the lower basket can be easily lowered to allow you to load pots, pans and bowls. To lower the prongs: - Slightly pull them upward and let them drop down (see picture). - To bring them back to the standing position, just pull them up again. The upper basket The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates, saucers, dinner plates of up to 25 cm in diameter), salad bowls, cups and glasses. Arrange items on and underneath the cup racks so that water can reach all surfaces. Light items (plastic bowls etc.) should be loaded in the upper basket and arranged so they do not move. UI18 UI85 US29 The cutlery basket Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard. These items should only be placed in the removable knife basket. Take care when loading or unloading sharp items such as knives. Removable knife basket Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be placed horizontally in the removable knife basket, which is positioned at the rear of the upper basket. Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely. In case that plates are loaded in the upper basket: load them starting from the rear positions of the basket; tilting them slightly forwards and avoiding the front positions near the door. UI53 US71 21 Hints and tips Adjusting the height of the upper basket If washing very large plates (over 27 cm and up to 32 cm in diameter) you can load them in the lower basket after moving the upper basket to the higher position. To move to the higher position proceed as follows: 1. Pull out the basket until it stops. 2. Carefully lift both sides upwards until the mechanism is engaged and the basket is stable. To save energy Place dishes in the machine immediately after every meal and wait until the dishwasher is full before washing. If necessary run the Rinse and Hold programme (see "Washing Programmes" chart) so that any food scraps do not become caked on the dishes while you are waiting to run the complete wash programme. Do not prewash dishes under running water. Select an economic/quick programme when dishes are not very soiled, following the instructions given in the "Washing programmes" chart. Select the no dry option. Select the half load option if only a few dishes need washing. For best washing results Before loading, remove all scraps of food and soak very heavily soiled pots and pans. Arrange saucepans, cups and glasses etc. upside-down. Tilt items with convex or concave surfaces so that the water drains off easily. Avoid contact between the dishes as far as possible. RC04 Attention! Never lift or lower the basket on one side only. When the top basket is in the higher position it will only take plates up to 20 cm in diameter and you will not be able to use the cup racks. To lower the basket to the original position proceed as follows: 1. Pull out the basket until it stops. 2. Carefully lift both sides upwards and the allow the mechanism to drop back slowly, keeping hold of it. After loading your machine always close the door, as an open door can be a hazard. Items not suitable for dishwashers The following items should not be washed in the dishwasher (unless they are sold as dishwasher proof): - Cutlery with wooden or horn handles or glued parts - bronze cutlery - saucepans with wooden handles - aluminium ware - crystal ware - leaded glass - plastic items - antique or fine decorated china Certain types of decoration can discolour when washed in a dishwasher. Crystal-ware and plastic objects, if not guaranteed dishwasher proof should be washed by hand. Certain types of glass can also become opaque after being washed several times in a dishwasher. A chemical reaction can occur between silver cutlery and stainless steel cutlery. As a precaution, do not wash together. Iron and cast iron objects can rust and stain other items. Aluminium tends to go black, copper, pewter and brass tend to stain. If in doubt check with manufacturer of the item. When buying new dishes, ensure that they are dishwasher proof. 22 Washing programmes Programme Degree of soil and type of load Recommended quantity of detergent wash 1. Rinse and Hold Any.

Characterised by a duration of about 30 minutes and a washing temperature of 65°C. The time value is approximate and depends on the pressure and the temperature of the water and also by the variations of the power supply. This is a programme made to meet the needs of a family of 4 persons who only wish to load breakfast and dinner crockery and cutlery. 23 Operating sequence 1. Check the filters Ensure they are clean and properly positioned (see "Maintenance and cleaning"). The digital display shows the delay time (flashing dot in the display indicate that the countdown is going on), which will decrease with steps of 1 hour. Once the delayed time has elapsed the programme will start automatically. The opening of the door will not stop the countdown. 2. Press the On/Off push button The display will show the last selected programme (if with the last programme options have been selected the corresponding indicator lights will illuminate). 8. To cancel a programme in progress To cancel a programme in progress, open the door and press the "cancel" push button. The setting will be annulled and it is now possible to select a new programme. To stop a countdown in progress, open the door and press the "cancel" push button, in the digital display appears the number corresponding to the selected programme. The countdown has been cancelled but the setting of the programme with eventual options remains memorised. 3. Check that there is rinse aid and salt The corresponding indicator lights will illuminate if refilling is necessary. 4. Load the dishes Remove any scraps of food. Pull the lower basket out and arrange the saucepans, plates and cutlery in it. Pull the upper basket out and arrange the plates, saucers, glasses and cups etc. in it. Slide the baskets back into the machine. 9. At the end of the washing programme The dishwasher will automatically stop and an intermittent audible signal will sound when the programme has ended (with the delay start the audible signal is automatically excluded). All indicator lights turn off and 3 flashing horizontal lines will appear in the digital display. Open the door and switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push button. Wait a few minutes before removing the dishes; in this way they will be cooler and the drying will be improved. Empty the lower basket first and then the upper one; this will avoid water dripping from the upper basket onto the dishes in the lower one. 5. Ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely. 6. Measure out detergent Add the required amount of detergent into the dispenser. Close the detergent dispenser lid. Important! If the half load option is selected remember to reduce the quantity of detergent. 7a. Setting and starting the programme without "delay start" The selection of the programme occurs with the door partially opened. Press the "programme selector" push button until the required programme number appears in the digital display. The following options may also be selected: half load and/or a drying option. The corresponding indicator light/s will come on Close the door, the programme will start automatically and an audible signal advises you of this. The display will show the running time of the programme. Important! In general it is not advisable to open the door while the machine is working; if the door is opened however, a safety device ensures that the machine stops. Care must be taken if the door is opened during the hot phase or immediately after a programme has finished, as steam may escape. When the washing programme has finished, it is recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and the water tap turned off. 7b. Setting and starting the programme with "delay start" Once a programme and required options have been selected (see point 7a.) to use delay start proceed as follows: Press the delay start push button. The digital display will show "h 0". If other options have been selected the corresponding indicator lights will turn off, but this will not modify the settings made previously. Press the button again to select the number of hours by which you wish to delay the programme start (up to a maximum of 12 hours). To set the time setting to zero press the delay start push button until "h 0" appears in the digital display. Close the door, an audible signal will confirm the starting of the countdown. 24 Maintenance and cleaning Internal cleaning Ensure that the seals around the door, the detergent and rinse aid dispensers are cleaned regularly with a damp cloth. We recommend every 3 months to run a 65°C wash programme without dishes using detergent. The dishwasher must not be used without filters. Incorrect repositioning and fitting of the filters will produce poor washing results. Cleaning the filters is vital to ensure correct operation of the machine. Cleaning the central filter (After each wash) Scraps of food may accumulate in the drain filter (A) and should be removed by rinsing the filter under running water. To remove the drain filter - simply pull it out by the handle. Once cleaned, refit the filter by pushing it back to its original position until it engages. External cleaning Clean the external surfaces of the machine and control panel with a damp soft cloth. If necessary use only neutral detergents. Never use abrasive products, scouring pads or solvent (acetone, trichloroethylene etc....). Prolonged periods of non-operation If you are not using the machine for any period of time you are advised to: 1. Unplug the appliance and then turn off the water. 2. Fill the rinse aid dispenser. 3. Leave the door ajar to prevent the formation of any unpleasant smells. 4. Leave the inside of the machine clean. MA04 MA19 A Cleaning the large filter (Every week) If necessary clean the large filter (B) on both sides under running water, using a brush. To remove the large filter 1. Remove the spray arm by pulling it upwards on one side. 2. Turn the column (C) anticlockwise by 90° and then slide out the filter. 3. Once cleaned refit it following the above instructions in reverse order. 4. Ensure the filter is in its original position, the handle of the drain filter should be pointing towards the front of the appliance. Frost precautions Avoid placing the machine in a location where the temperature is below 0°C. If this is unavoidable, empty the machine, close the appliance door, disconnect the water inlet pipe and empty it. Moving the machine If you have to move the machine (moving house etc....): 1. Unplug it. 2. Turn the water tap off. 3. Remove the water inlet and discharge hoses. 4. Pull the machine out together with the hoses. Avoid over tilting the machine during transportation. 90° B C MA20 MA05 MA21 MA18 25 Something not working Certain problems are due to lack of simple maintenance or oversights, which can be solved easily without calling out an engineer. The dishwasher is fitted with a number of alarm systems which can help you to quickly determine the cause of any problems. The dishwasher will not start or stops during operation, all push buttons are inoperative except for the On/Off push button. All indicator lights turn off.

RA01 Service and spare parts This product should be serviced by an authorised Service engineer, and only genuine spare parts should be used. Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the machine yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunctioning. Contact your local Service Force Centre. Always insist on genuine spare parts. Protection against flooding The machine is fitted with a device in the bottom of the machine to protect against flooding. The device will operate if there are any water leaks in the machine, however it will only operate if the machine is on. In case of intervention a fault code will appear in the digital display "AL4". In this case, turn off the water tap and call the Service Force Centre. Security system Inlet hose The inlet hose has a high pressure resistance. It can sustain pressures up to 6000 kPa (60 bar), 6 times a normal hose. As a further safeness, the inlet hose is protected with a sheathing against eventual damages. In case of breakage of the inner hose, the water that is in the hose will become blue, this is visible across the special transparent sheathing. In this case turn off the water tap and call the Service Centre. The inlet hose is also fitted with a safety device to prevent inadvertent loosening (see "Water supply connections"). 27 Hints for test centres Before starting any test it is necessary to fill completely with salt the salt container and with rinse aid the rinse aid dispenser.

The waste connection must be at a height of between 30 cm (minimum) and 100 cm (maximum) from the bottom of the dishwasher. The drain hose can face either to the right or left of the dishwasher Ensure the hose is not bent or squashed as this could prevent or slow down the discharge of water. If you use a drain hose extension it must be no longer than 2 metres and its internal diameter must be no smaller than the diameter of the hose provided. Likewise the internal diameter of the couplings used for connections to the waste outlet must be no smaller than the diameter of the hose provided. The sink plug must not be in place when the machine is draining as this could cause the water to siphon back into the machine. Water supply connections This dishwasher may be fed with either hot (max. 60°) or cold water. Nevertheless we advise you a cold water supply. A hot water supply is not always efficient with very soiled crockery as it shortens the washing programmes a lot. The water pressure must be within the limits given in the technical specifications. Your local Water Authority will advise you on the average mains pressure in your area. The dishwasher features fill and drain hoses which can be turned either to the left or the right to suit the installation. The locknut must be correctly fitted to avoid water leaks. Avoid bends or kinks in the hose which could prevent or slow down the water supply. If the machine is connected to new pipes or pipes which have not been used for a long time, you should run the water for a few minutes before connecting the inlet hose. This will prevent deposits of sand or rust clogging the inlet hose filter. Do not use, for connection, old hoses which have been used in another appliance. For making the connection itself, the coupling nut fitted to the machine's supply hose is designed to screw onto either a 3/4 inch gas thread spout, or to a purpose made quick-coupling tap such as the Press-block. The inlet hose is fitted with a safety device to prevent inadvertent loosening. To detach the hose, press the lever (B) and turn the retaining ring (A) anticlockwise.

If the spigot of your sink has a "no return valve" incorporated this can prevent the correct draining of your dishwasher. We advise you therefore to remove it. Electrical connection Before plugging the appliance into the wall socket, make sure that: A B 1. The mains voltage corresponds to the voltage given in the "Technical specifications". 2. The meter, fuses, mains power supply and wall socket can all take the maximum load required. Make sure that the socket and plug are compatible without having to use any type of adaptor. If necessary, have the domestic wiring system socket replaced. Safety standards require the appliance to be earthed. The manufacture accepts no liability for failure to observe the above safety precautions. Water outlet hose connection The end of the drain hose can be connected in the following ways: 1. To the sink outlet siphon, securing it if necessary with a clip. 2.
