As the programme starts, the phase indicator lights turn off except for the indicator light of the phase in progress which will remain lit with a static light. "Delay start" push button: this option allows the start of the programme to be delayed by 3, 6 or 9 hours. Indicator lights: have the following meanings: salt refilling indicator light, illuminates when the salt has run out rinse aid refilling indicator light, illuminates when the rinse aid has run out The salt and rinse aid indicator lights are never illuminated while a washing programme is running even if filling with salt and rinse aid is necessary. 4 Prior to using for the first time 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. Setting electronically The dishwasher is factory set at level 3. If it's necessary to set a new level, proceed as follows. 1. With the dishwasher switched off press function push buttons 1 and 2 simultaneously . 2. While keeping the push buttons 1 and 2 pressed switch on the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push button. The On/Off indicator light comes on. At the same time, the indicator lights of push buttons 1 and 2 start flashing. 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, Clarke 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 water softener must be set in both ways: manually, using the water hardness switch and electronically, using the function push buttons on the control panel. If your water is level 1 it is already soft and therefore there is no need to use salt. SO568 3. Press push button 1, the indicator light of push button 2 turns off, while the indicator light of push button 1 remains fixed for about 5 seconds, after this it starts flashing indicating the current level of the water softener. Setting manually 1. Open the dishwasher door. 2. Remove the lower basket from the dishwasher. 3. Turn the water hardness switch to position 1 or 2 (see table). 4. Replace the lower basket. The dishwasher is factory set at position 2. SO569 The current level is indicated by the number of flashes made by the indicator light of push button 1, that alternates 5 seconds off with a number of flashes, this for about 60 seconds. Example: 1 flash = 2 flashes = 3 flashes = 4 flashes = 5 flashes = level 1 level 2 level 3 level 4 level 5 4. To change the level, press push button 1. Each time the push button is pressed the level changes. Example: if the current level is 3, by pressing push button 1 once, level 4 is selected. if the current level is 5, by pressing push button 1 once, level 1 is selected. The indicator light of push button 1 remains off for about 5 seconds after which it starts flashing indicating the new level selected. 5. To memorise the new level, switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push button.

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. If you are using dishwasher detergent that already contains salt, the detergent including the salt is placed in the detergent compartment. - In this case the water softener must manually be set to 1 and electronically to 1 to ensure that the special salt is taken from the detergent container only. If you are using dishwasher detergent and salt separately, the special salt is to be put into the salt container. - In this case the water softener must manually be set to 1 or 2 and electronically between 1 and 5 (depending on the water hardness in your area) to ensure that the special salt is taken from the salt container only. Rinse aid can be added in one of two ways: q q If you are using dishwasher detergent that already contains rinse aid, the detergent including the rinse aid is placed in the detergent compartment. - In this case the rinse aid compartment must be empty and the rinse aid indicator light deactivated. If in the rinse aid dispenser there is still rinse aid you must wait until it has finished before using detergent that contains rinse aid. If you are using dishwasher detergent and rinse aid separately, the rinse aid is to be put into the rinse aid dispenser. - In this case the rinse aid dosage must be set in position from 1 to 6 (see "Adjusting the dose") and the rinse aid indicator light activated. 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 washing programmes. This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been spilt, remaining on the bottom of the machine for any period of time, which may cause corrosion. q Filling with rinse aid (Rinse aid dispenser type A) 1. Open the container by pressing the release button (A). 2. Fill with rinse aid exactly up to the level marked "MAX". To fill: 1. Open the door, remove the lower basket and unscrew the cap of the salt container by turning it anticlockwise. 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. 4. 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 turning it clockwise until it stops with a click. LE SA LT SA LZ SA L SE BR07 BR08 Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill. SR14 Adjusting the dose The salt container will require topping up periodically. You are reminded of this by the salt indicator light on the control panel which comes on when the salt has finished. Do not worry if water over flows from the unit when filling with salt, this is quite normal. 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. According to the finish and drying results obtained, adjust the dose of rinse aid by means of the 6 position selector (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. The dose is factory set in position 4. Reduce it if there are sticky whitish streaks on the dishes. BR09 6 Filling with rinse aid (Rinse aid dispenser type B) 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. To deactivate the rinse aid indicator light proceed as follows: (the dishwasher must be switched off) 1. Press function push buttons 1 and 2 simultaneously. 2. While keeping the function push buttons 1 and 2 pressed switch on the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push button. The On/Off indicator light comes on. At the same time, the indicator lights of push buttons 1 and 2 start flashing. BR01 BR03 Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill. SO568 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. The dose is factory set in position 5. Reduce it if there are sticky whitish streaks on the dishes. 3. Press function push button 2, the corresponding indicator light keeps flashing while the indicator light of push button 1 turns off. At the same time the rinse aid indicator light starts to flash. SO570 BR02 4. Press push button 2 again, the rinse aid indicator light turns off, this means that the rinse aid indicator light has been deactivated. 5. To memorise the operation, switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push button. To reactivate the rinse aid indicator light follow the same process until the rinse aid indicator light starts to flash. Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next wash. Only use branded rinse aid for dishwashers. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances (e.g. dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This would damage the appliance. Top up the rinse aid when the rinse aid indicator light on the control panel illuminates. It is possible to deactivate the rinse aid indicator light (see the following instructions). 7 In daily use q q q q Check if it's necessary to refill with special salt or rinse aid Load cutlery and dishes into the dishwasher. Fill with dishwasher detergent . Select a wash programme suitable for the cutlery and dishes. Start the wash programme. q q Loading cutlery and dishes Sponges, household cloths and any object that can absorb water may not be washed in the dishwasher. q When loading the dishes and cutlery, please note: - Dishes and cutlery must not impede the rotation of the spray arms . - Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans, etc. with the opening downwards so that water cannot collect in the container or a deep base. - Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another, or cover each other. - To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch. - Lay small objects in the cutlery basket. Before loading the dishes, you should: - Remove large left-overs. - Soften remnants of burnt food in pans For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery/dishes are not suitable: - Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or mother-of-pearl handles - Plastic items that are not heat resistant - Older cutlery with glued parts that is not temperature resistant - Bonded cutlery items or dishes - Pewter or copper items - Lead crystal glass - Steel items subject to rusting - Wooden platters - Items made from synthetic fibres are of limited suitability: - Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it is specifically marked as being dishwasher-safe by the manufacturer. - Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed frequently - Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to discolour during washing. Left-overs, e.g. egg white, egg yolk and mustard often cause discolouring and staining on silver. Therefore always clean left-overs from silver immediately, if it is not to be washed straight after use. - Some types of glass can become dull after a large number of washes Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes. The cutlery basket Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard. Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket. Take care when loading or unloading sharp items such as knives. The lower basket The lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery etc. Serving dishes and large lids should be arranged around the edge of the basket, ensuring that the upper spray arm can turn freely. 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. UI48 UI53 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. Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent them from sticking together. UI21 8 For best results we recommend you to use the cutlery grids provided (if the size and dimensions of the cutlery allow it). Adjusting the height of the upper basket If washing very large plates you can load them in the lower basket after moving the upper basket to the higher position. Maximum height of the dishes in upper basket lower basket With upper basket raised UI63 20 cm 25 cm 31 cm 27 cm With upper basket lowered The cutlery basket is in two parts which can be separated to give greater loading flexibility. To separate the two parts, slide them horizontally in opposite directions and pull them apart. To reassemble, reverse the procedure. To move to the higher position proceed as follows: 1. Move the front runner stops (A) of the upper basket outwards and slide the basket out. 2. Refit the basket in the higher position and replace the stops (A) in their original position. UI62 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. Glasses with long stems can be placed upside down in the cup racks. Light items (plastic bowls etc.) must be loaded in the US46 upper basket and arranged so they do not move. RC01 After loading your machine always close the door, as an open door can be a hazard. 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. US71 Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely. 9 Use of detergent Only use detergents specifically designed for use in dishwashers. Using no more then the correct amount of detergent contributes to reducing pollution. Prior to the start of a wash programme. The detergent is released during the washing phase. Please observe the manufacturer's dosing and storage recommendations as stated on the detergent packaging. Use of "3 in 1" combi detergent tablets General advice These products are tablets with combined detergent/rinse-aid and salt functions. 1. Before using these products you should first check that the water hardness in your supply is compatible with the use of these products as per the detergent manufacturers (on the product packaging). 2. These products should be strictly used according to the detergent manufacturers instructions. Do not place the tablets in the tub or in the cutlery basket as this will result in poorer wash results. The tablets should be placed in the detergent dispenser. 3. If you encounter problems when using 3 in 1 products for the first time then please contact the detergent manufacturers care line (the telephone number is given on the product packaging). Fill with detergent (Detergent dispenser type A) 1. If the lid is closed: press release button (1). The lid springs open. 2. Fill the detergent dispenser with detergent. The marking indicates the dosing levels: 20 = approximately 20 ml of detergent 30 = approximately 30 ml of detergent Special advice When using combination products, the rinse-aid and salt indicators are no longer useful. It may be helpful therefore to switch the rinse aid off - please note that only some dishwashers have this facility - and select the lowest possible setting for water hardness. For more information please refer to the instruction manual. If you decide to turn back to the use of the standard detergent system we advise that you: DE19 DE21 q q Refill both the salt container and rinse aid dispenser. Switch the water hardness setting to the highest possible position and run a normal washing programme without a load. Readjust the water hardness setting again according to the hardness of the water in your area. 3. Close the lid and press until it locks in place. Fill with detergent (Detergent dispenser type A) 1. If the lid is closed: open the dispenser by pulling the catch (D). The lid springs open. 2. Fill the detergent dispenser with detergent. The marking indicates the dosing levels: Min = approximately 15 g of detergent Max = approximately 30 g of detergent 3. Close the lid and press until it locks in place. DE17 q Concentrated detergent Based on their chemical composition, dishwasher detergents can be split into two basic types: - conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components. - low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes. The use of 50°C washing programmes in conjunction with concentrated detergents reduces pollution and is good for your dishes; these wash programmes are specially matched to the dirt-dissolving properties of the enzymes in the concentrated detergent. For this reason 50°C wash programmes in which concentrated detergents are used can achieve the same results that can otherwise only be achieved using 65°C programmes. For all programmes with prewash, an additional detergent dose (5 g) must be placed into the SID. This detergent will take effect during the prewash phase Detergent tablets Detergent tablets of different brands dissolve at different speeds. For this reason some detergent tablets cannot develop their full cleaning power during short programmes. Therefore please use normal programmes with prewash when using detergent tablets.

This is the perfect daily programme, made to meet the needs of a family of 4 persons who only wish to load breakfast and dinner crockery and cutlery. Testing programme for EN 50242 (see "Hints for Test Centres). This programme, developed for the use of detergents with enzymes, allows you to achieve, with reduced consumption of energy the same cleaning results that would otherwise be obtained only with the 65°C programmes and conventional detergents. To compensate the lower temperature, the duration of the programme has been extended. The consumption values are intended as a guide and depends on the pressure and the temperature of the water and also by the variations of the power supply. (2) (3) 11 Starting a washing programme 1. Check that the baskets have been loaded correctly and that the spray arms can rotate freely 2. Turn on the water tap 3. Close the dishwasher door 4. Press the On/Off push button The On/Off indicator light will come on. From the moment that the washing programme has been set, the delay start will begin with the countdown. The countdown will decrease with step of 3 hours. During the countdown, the indicator light of the selected programme and the indicator light of the number of hours to the start of the programme will remain illuminated. Once the delay start has elapsed the programme will start automatically, the indicator lights for delay start turn off and the indicator light of the phase underway illuminates. Cancelling the "delay start" It is possible to cancel a countdown in progress or before it starts, simply pressing the delay start push button until the indicator lights corresponding to the delay start hours are off. In this case the selected washing programme will start automatically after 6 seconds. 5. Setting and starting the programme Press the push button corresponding to the required programme (see "Washing programmes" chart). The indicator light corresponding to the programme illuminates and the phase indicator lights foreseen for that programme start flashing. It is possible to change the programme selection simply pressing the push button of another programme within 6 seconds. Once the programme has started the phase indicator lights will turn off except for the phase under way. 8. End of the washing programme The dishwasher will automatically stop and the end of programme phase indicator light will illuminate. The indicator light of the programme just ended will remain on. The dishwasher has finished the programme only when the end of programme indicator light is illuminated. If you do not wait for the end of the programme it will not be possible to start a new programme until the previous programme has been cancelled. (For instructions on how to cancel a programme see the corresponding instructions). If during the drying phase (drying indicator light illuminated) the dishwasher door is opened or the On/Off push button is pressed, the running programme is automatically cancelled and the machine returns to setting mode (in this case it is possible to select a new programme without cancelling the previous) Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push button, the On/Off indicator light turns off. Hot steam may escape from the appliance when opening the door immediately after the end of the programme, therefore, open the door carefully. 6. Interrupting/cancelling a washing programme Change or interrupt a washing programme in progress ONLY if it's absolutely necessary To interrupt a washing programme Attention! Hot steam may escape when the door is opened. There is risk of scalding. Open the door carefully. q Open the dishwasher door; the programme will stop. Close the door; the programme will start from the point in which it was interrupted. q pressing the On/Off (in this case all the indicator lights turn off). Press the On/Off push button again; the programme will start from the point in which it was interrupted. Unloading the dishwasher Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks. The dishes should therefore be allowed to cool down before removing from the appliance. Leave the dishes in the dishwasher for approx. 15 minutes, with the door ajar, after the end of programme so that they dry better and will be cooler. 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. When the washing programme has finished, it is recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and the water tap turned off. To cancel a washing programme A programme in progress can be cancelled at any time. Press for about 3 seconds the push button of the running programme until all indicator lights are off. Only the On/Off indicator light will remain illuminated. It is now possible to select a new washing programme. 7. Setting/cancelling the "Delay start" The setting of the delay start occurs before selecting the programme. Setting the "Delay start" Press the "delay start" push button until the indicator light corresponding to the chosen hours flashes (3, 6 or 9 hours). Press the push button corresponding to the required washing programme; the indicator light corresponding to the programme illuminates and the phase indicator lights for that programme start flashing. 12 Maintenance and 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....). 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. To ensure a correct working of the dishwasher, NEVER try to remove the upper spray arm. If residues of soil have clogged the holes in the upper spray arm, remove them with a toothpick. MA33 Cleaning the filters The filters in the base of the washing compartment are to a large extent self-cleaning. Nevertheless the filters should be checked and cleaned from time to time. Dirty filters will degrade the washing result. 1. Open the door, remove the lower basket. 2. The dishwasher filter system comprises a coarse/fine filter (A/B), a microfilter (C) and a flat filter (D). Unlock the filter system using the handle on the microfilter, and remove. 3. Turn the handle about 1 /4 a turn anticlockwise and remove. 4. Take hold of the MA32 coarse/fine filter (A/B) by the handle with the hole and remove from the microfilter (C). Check that the SID is not clogged with detergent residue. If necessary rinse it under running water after having removed it from the basket by twisting it anticlockwise and pulling it upwards. Never use your dishwasher without the SID dispenser. Since SID also ensures correct distribution of the water to the upper spray arm, running the dishwasher without it will impair the washing results. MA12 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. Frost precautions MA30 5. Clean all filters thoroughly under running water. 6. Remove the flat filter (D) from the base of the washing compartment and clean both faces thoroughly. 7. Put the flat filter back in the base of the washing compartment. 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. MA31 8. Place the coarse/fine filter in the microfilter and press together. 9. Put the filter combination in place and lock by turning the handle clockwise to the stop. During this process ensure that the flat filter does not protrude above the base of the washing compartment. Under no circumstances may the dishwasher be used without filters. 13 What to do, when...

Remove all packaging before positioning the machine. If possible, position the machine next to a water tap and a drain. Do not use, for connection, old hoses which have been used in another appliance. 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. Water outlet hose connection Fitting under a counter (kitchen worktop or sink) By removing the machine's worktop, you can install it under a close fitting sink unit or a pre-existing top, providing the dimensions of the recess correspond to those shown in the picture. The end of the drain hose can be connected in the following ways: 1. To the sink outlet spigot, securing it to the underside of the work surface. This will prevent waste water from the sink running into the machine. 2. Hooked over the edge of the sink using the special curved plastic guide provided. 3. To a stand pipe provided with vent-hole, minimum internal diameter 4 cm. 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. 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. 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. 570 - 600 600 IN05 Proceed as follows: Remove the machine's worktop by unscrewing the two rear retaining screws, pull from the front and slide out the rear slots, lifting the worktop. Insert the machine after adjusting height and levelling with the adjustable feet. When inserting the machine, ensure that the water inlet and drain hoses are not kinked or squashed. If the dishwasher is later used as a free-standing appliance, the original worktop must be re-mounted. The plinth on free-standing appliances is not adjustable. Levelling Good levelling is essential for correct closure and sealing of the door. When the appliance is correctly levelled, the door will not catch on either side of the cabinet. If the door does not close correctly, loosen or tighten the adjustable feet until the machine is perfectly level. CS18 820 Water supply connections This dishwasher must be plumbed into a cold water supply. The dishwasher is fitted with safety devices that prevent the wash water returning into the drinking water system and comply with the applicable plumbing regulations. 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. The water inlet hose must not be kinked, crushed, or entangled when it is being connected up. 17 Attention! Our appliances are supplied with a security device to protect against the return of dirty water back into the machine. 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 This appliance must be earthed. The manufacturer declines any responsibility should this safety measure not be observed. If the plug that is fitted to your appliance is not suitable for the socket, it must be cut off and the appropriate plug fitted. Important The wires on the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Green and Yellow Blue Brown - Earth - Neutral - Live If you fit your own plug, the colours of the wires in the mains lead of your appliance may not correspond with the markings identifying the terminals in your plug. Proceed as follows: 1. Connect the Green and Yellow (earth) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter "E" or the earth symbol or coloured green and yellow. 2. Connect the Blue (neutral) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter "N" or coloured black. 3. Connect the Brown (live) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter "L" or coloured red. E 13 A N L CE04 The plug moulded onto the lead incorporates a 13amp BSI362 fuse. Only ASTA or BSI fuses should be used. The plug must not be used if the fuse cover/carrier is lost. The cover/carrier is indicated by the coloured insert at the base of the plug. A replacement cover/carrier must be obtained from your local Service Force Centre. To isolate the dishwasher from mains, remove the mains plug. Important! The plug must still be accessible after the appliance has been installed. In case that the electrical cable has to be replaced, please contact your local Service Force Centre. 18 Hints for test centres Testing in accordance with EN 60704 must be carried out with appliance fully loaded and using the test programme (see "Washing programmes" chart).
