[. . . ] Do not pour detergent directly onto dishes. If the door must be opened while a wash cycle is in progress, the program will be interrupted. The corresponding light will continue to flash and a beeper will signal that the cycle has not been completed. You must wait about 1 minute before closing the door to restart the program. When the door is closed the program will continue from where it was interrupted. This operation should only be carried out if strictly necessary, as it could cause problems in running the program. SWITCHING OFF At the end of the program the beeper sounds briefly and the lights of programs no. To switch off the dishwasher, open the door and press the ON/OFF button (1). 12 User instructions ENERGY MANAGEMENT After 5 minutes of inactivity (wash cycle completed, stopped or set but not started), the dishwasher switches to standby mode to reduce energy consumption. In this mode, the dishwasher indicator panel (lights or display depending on model) functions more slowly (switch-on once every 5 seconds). REMOVING THE DISHES At the end of the wash program, wait at least 20 minutes before removing the dishes, to allow them to cool. To ensure that any drops of water left in the top basket do not drip onto the dishes still in the bottom basket, you are advised always to empty the bottom basket first. 13 User instructions 4. Operating instructions Once the dishwasher has been correctly installed, prepare it for use as follows: • Add rinse aid and detergent 4. 1 Using the rinse aid and detergent dispensers The detergent and rinse aid dispensers are situated on the inner part of the door: the detergent dispenser is on the left, and the rinse aid dispenser is on the right. With the exception of the SOAK program, it is necessary to add the required amount of detergent to the detergent dispenser before every wash cycle. The rinse aid, on the other hand, should only be added as required. ADDING RINSE AID Rinse aid helps the dishes dry faster and prevents the formation of scale deposits and staining; it is automatically added to the water during the final rinse cycle. • Rotate the container cap anticlockwise by ¼ of a turn and remove it. • Add the rinse aid until the container is full (approximately 140 ml). The optical level indicator on the side of the cap should be completely dark. Refill the rinse aid when the optical level indicator turns clear again, or when the rinse aid warning light turns on. • Use a cloth to remove any spillage of rinse aid which might lead to the formation of excess foam. 14 User instructions ADJUSTING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER SETTING The dishwasher is factory set for medium water hardness. It is possible to change this setting by turning the dispenser selector to the required position: the amount of rinse aid dispensed depends on the selector position. • • • • • To adjust the rinse aid setting, rotate the dispenser cap a quarter of a turn anticlockwise and remove it. The amount of rinse aid must be increased if the washed dishes appear dull or have circular stains. If, on the other hand, the dishes are sticky or have white streaks, it is necessary to reduce the rinse aid dosage. ADDING DETERGENT To open the detergent dispenser cap, lightly press the button P. During the wash cycle, the dispenser will open automatically. 15 User instructions • • • When a program with hot prewash is selected (see program table), extra detergent must be placed in the cavity G/H (depending on model). [. . . ] Shut off the water supply tap. BEFORE STARTING THE DISHWASHER AFTER PROLONGED DISUSE: • • • Check that there are no deposits of sludge or rust inside the water pipe: if there are, allow the water to run from the water supply tap for a few minutes. Reconnect the water intake hose and open the tap again. TROUBLESHOOTING MINOR PROBLEMS In some cases it is possible to remedy minor problems by referring to the following instructions: If the program fails to start, check that: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • 26 The dishwasher is connected to the electricity supply There is no power outage The water tap is open The dishwasher door is properly closed If water remains inside the dishwasher, check that: The drainage hose is not kinked The drainage trap is not blocked The dishwasher filters are not clogged If the dishes do not come out clean, check that: The correct amount of detergent has been added The salt container is not empty The dishes have been loaded correctly The selected program is suitable for the dish types and their degree of soiling All filters are clean and correctly installed The spray arm nozzles are not clogged There is nothing obstructing the rotation of the spray arms User instructions If the dishes fail to dry or remain dull, check that: • • • The rinse aid container is not empty The rinse aid dispenser setting is correct The detergent used is of good quality and has not lost its effectiveness (for example, through incorrect storage, with the box left open) If the dishes show signs of streaking, staining etc. , check that: • The rinse aid dispenser setting is not too high If there are visible traces of rust inside the tank: • the tank is made of stainless steel, and therefore any rust marks are due to external elements (fragments of rust from the water pipes, pots, cutlery etc. ).
