Description of the controls________________________________18 Troubleshooting _______________________________________30 Thank you for choosing one of our products. You are advised to read this manual carefully; it contains all the information you need about the right conditions for the proper, safe use of your dishwasher. The individual sections are laid out to provide you with a step-by-step guide to all your appliance's functions; the texts are easy to understand and are complete with detailed illustrations. [. . . ] Supplying the appliance with hot water cuts down the washing time by approximately 20 minutes, but slightly reduces its effectiveness. Make the connection to the domestic hot water supply using the same procedure described for connecting to the cold water supply. DRAIN CONNECTION Insert the dishwasher's drain hose into a drain pipe having a diameter of at least 4 cm, or alternatively, place it inside the kitchen sink using the plastic support provided, taking care not to crush or excessively bend the hose. It is important to prevent the hose from coming loose and falling. For this purpose, the plastic support is equipped with a hole for tying it to the wall or water tap. The free end should be positioned at a height of between 30 and 100 cm, and should never be submerged in water. If a horizontal drain extension hose is used (for a maximum of 3 m) the drain hose can be placed at a maximum height of 85 cm from the ground. Installation instructions 2. 2 Electrical connection and precautions CHECK THAT THE VOLTAGE AND THE FREQUENCY OF THE MAINS MATCH THE RATINGS ON THE NAME PLATE OF THE APPLIANCE POSITIONED ON THE INNER EDGE OF THE DOOR. THE PLUG ON THE SUPPLY CORD AND THE CORRESPONDING SOCKET OUTLET MUST BE OF THE SAME TYPE AND MEET THE REGULATIONS IN FORCE. THE PLUG MUST BE ACCESSIBLE AFTER INSTALLATION. NEVER DISCONNECT THE PLUG BY PULLING ON THE POWER SUPPLY LEAD. IN THE EVENT OF DAMAGE TO THE SUPPLY CORD, HAVE IT REPLACED BY THE MANUFACTURER OR AN AUTHORIZED TECHNICAL SERVICE CENTRE. DO NOT USE ADAPTORS OR SHUNT CONNECTIONS IN ORDER TO AVOID THE POSSIBILITY OF OVERHEATING OR BURNING. IF THE APPLIANCE IS PROVIDED WITH A PLUGLESS SUPPLY CORD: IT IS NECESSARY TO INSTALL IN THE FIXED WIRING AN ALL-POLE DISCONNECTION DEVICE HAVING A GAP BETWEEN CONTACTS OF AT LEAST 3. 5MM. AFTER INSTALLATION THE DISCONNECTION DEVICE HAS TO BE EASY TO REACH. THE CONNECTION TO THE MAINS MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN IN ACCORDANCE TO THE SCHEME SHOWN BELOW AND THE REGULATIONS IN FORCE. L = brown N = blue = yellow-green In the event of damage to the supply cord, have it replaced by the manufacturer or an Authorized Technical Service Centre in order to avoid any risk. Installation instructions WHEN CLEANING AND MAINTAINING THE APPLIANCE: BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY WORK, ALWAYS UNPLUG THE APPLIANCE FROM THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY OR SWITCH OFF THE ALL-POLE DISCONNECTION DEVICE. FOR GREAT BRITAIN ONLY: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. Fuse replacement If the mains lead of this appliance is fitted with a BS 1363A 13amp fused plug, to change a fuse in this type of plug use an A. S. T. A. approved fuse to BS 1362 type and proceed as follows: 1. Fit replacement 13A fuse into fuse cover. Refit both into plug. The fuse cover must be refitted when changing a fuse and if the fuse cover is lost the plug must not be used until a correct replacement is fitted. Correct replacement are identified by the colour insert or the colour embossed in words on the base of the plug. Replacement fuse covers are available from your local electrical store. User instructions 3. Operating instructions Once the dishwasher has been correctly installed, prepare for use as follows: Adjust the water softening system; Add the regenerating salt; Add the rinse aid and detergent. 3. 1 Using the water softening system The amount of scale contained in the water (water hardness index) can cause whitish staining on the dry dishes, which tend to become dull over time. The dishwasher is equipped with an automatic softening system which uses a special regenerating salt to reduce the hardness of the water. The dishwasher is factory set for water hardness level 3 (average hardness 41-60dF 24-31dH). SALT When using water of medium hardness, the regenerating salt container should be refilled after approximately 20 washing cycles. The salt container can hold approximately 1. 7 Kg of salt in grains. [. . . ] 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. Plug the power cord back into the socket. [. . . ]
