We advise you to carefully read all the instructions contained in this manual, in order to understand how to operate your dishwasher safely and correctly. The manual is divided into paragraphs, which provide a step by step description of the dishwasher functions, with clear instructions accompanied by detailed illustrations. [. . . ] Operating instructions Once the dishwasher has been correctly installed, prepare for use as follows: Add the 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, before every washing cycle it is necessary to add the required amount of detergent to the detergent dispenser. The rinse aid, on the other hand, should only be added as required. ADDING THE RINSE AID The 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, from the container situated on the inner side of the door. Rotate the container cap anticlockwise by of a turn and remove it. Add the rinse aid until the container is full (approximately 140 cc). The optical level indicator on the side of the cap should be completely obscured. Refill the rinse aid when the optical level indicator becomes clear again, or when the rinse aid warning light illuminates. Replace the cover and turn it in a clockwise direction. Use a cloth to remove any spillage of rinse aid which might lead to the formation of excess foam. User instructions ADJUSTING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER SETTING The dishwasher is factory set for medium water hardness. However it possible to change the setting by turning the dispenser's selector to the desired position: the amount of rinse aid dispensed is proportional to the selector position. The setting must be increased when the washed dishes appear dull or have circular staining. To adjust the rinse aid setting, rotate the dispenser cap through a quarter turn in an anticlockwise direction and remove it. Then use a screwdriver to rotate the rinse aid selector to the desired position. The amount of rinse aid must be increased if the washed dishes appear dull or feature circular stains. If, on the other hand, the dishes are sticky or have white streaks, it is necessary to reduce the rinse aid setting. ADDING THE DETERGENT To open the detergent dispenser cap, lightly press the button P. Add the detergent and close the cap carefully. During the washing cycle, the dispenser will be opened automatically. Use only detergents specially formulated for dishwashers. For optimal washing results it is important to use a good quality detergent. The detergent packs must be sealed and stored in a dry place to prevent the formation of lumps which may negatively affect washing results. Once opened the detergent packs should not be kept for too long, otherwise the detergent loses its effectiveness. Do not use detergents formulated for washing dishes by hand, because they produce a great deal of foam and may negatively affect the operation of the dishwasher. An insufficient amount of detergent will result in a partial removal of dirt from the dishes, whereas an excessive amount is wasteful and does not improve the washing results. User instructions The market offers liquid and powder detergents with differing chemical compositions, which may contain phosphates, or be phosphate-free but contain natural enzymes. - Detergents containing phosphates are more effective against grease and starch at temperatures above 60C. [. . . ] It is essential to thoroughly clean the filters according to the above instructions: the dishwasher cannot function if the filters are clogged. Carefully replace the filters in their seats, to avoid damaging the wash pump. PROLONGED DISUSE: Run the soak program twice in succession. Leave the door slightly open, in order to prevent the formation of unpleasant odours inside the washing tank. Shut off the water supply tap. User instructions 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.
