Fundamental rules to follow when using the appliance: - Never touch the dishwasher when barefoot 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; - If the appliance is not operating properly or maintenance must be performed, disconnect the appliance from the power supply. 5. Keep detergents out of the reach of children, who must also be kept away from the dishwasher when it is open. 6. This appliance cannot be installed outdoors, not even if the area in which it is installed is covered by a roof; it is also very dangerous to leave it exposed to the rain and elements. 8. Do not lean or sit on the door when it is open, as this could overturn the dishwasher. [. . . ] There are two handles on the sides of the upper rack: use these to adjust its height (see figure C). 5 GB Turning on the Appliance First of all Insert the plug into the electricity socket to power the dishwasher. Turn on the water tap completely and press ONOFF button "A"; the display lights up and the wash cycle time selected on the knob will flash. • Select the desired wash cycle by turning knob "D" clockwise from wash cycle 1 to 7 and anticlockwise from 7 to 1; the display indicates the average duration of the wash cycle and the cycle phases it consists of (consult the wash cycle table contained on page 8, especially when first using the appliance). • Press the Start button "R" and the wash cycle starts up, emitting a double beep; the approximate amount of time left until the end of the wash cycle is displayed. • If the time indicated at the start of the wash cycle does not correspond to the actual duration of the cycle itself, this could be for a number of reasons: the temperature of the inlet water, the degree of soil, prolonged attempts by the appliance to clean the wash filter from food residue clogging it, etc. You can interrupt a wash cycle by pressing the "ON-OFF" button, then place the forgotten dishes into the appliance, which will start up, after approximately 10 seconds, from where it was interrupted when you turn it back on. The wash cycle stops and 3 dashes appear on the display; the cycle restarts as soon as the electricity comes back on or when the door is shut. At the end of the wash cycle The end of the wash cycle is indicated by two short beeps and the word "END" flashes on the display. • Turn the appliance off at the ON-OFF button • Turn off the water tap. Warning: when you open the dishwasher door after the wash cycle has just ended or is under way, take care not to scald yourself with the hot steam. Cycle phase under way indicator While the wash cycle is under way, the symbols corresponding to the cycle phases light up in sequence. This will help the seals last longer and prevent odors from forming within the appliance. Moving the Appliance If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in the vertical position. 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 damp sponge will prevent this from occuring. 9 GB Cleaning and Special Maintenance The filter assembly If you want consistent good results from your dishwasher, you need to clean the filter assembly; this way the food particles are removed from the wash water, allowing it to be recirculated during the cycle, filtered perfectly. For this reason, it is a good idea to remove the larger food particles trapped inside the cup “C” and semi-circular filter “A” after each wash. All you need to do is rinse them under running 1 water; to remove these, pull A the cup handle upwards. B 2 The entire filter assembly, comprising a semi-circular filter “A”, a cup “C”, and a cylindrical filter “B” should C be cleaned thoroughly once a month. Reassemble the three parts as shown in the figures and reinsert the whole assembly into the dishwasher, positioning it into its housing and pressing downwards. Improper replacement of the filters may reduce the efficiency of the wash and even damage your dishwasher. Cleaning the Sprayer Arms It may happen that food particle become encrusted on the sprayer arms and block the holes (see "Close up view (interior)", letters F-I). Cleaning the Water Inlet Filter Periodically clean the water inlet filter (see figure 2 under "Installation") located on the outlet of the water supply tap. [. . . ] This dishwasher model can be built under a single worktop (please read the relevant instruction sheet). Cold Water Connection This electric household appliance should be connected to the water mains using the cold water supply hose provided with the appliance only. Connect the cold water supply hose to a threaded 3/4 (gas) A connector, inserting the small filter supplied with the dishwasher and making sure that it is fastened tightly in place Fig. 2 (see figure 2). 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. [. . . ]
