INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: installation must be carried out by skilled, qualifi ed staff, working in strict accordance with the instructions provided. USER INSTRUCTIONS: these consist of recommendations for using the appliance, a description of its controls and of the correct cleaning and maintenance procedures. 37 Safety instructions 1. [. . . ] After approximately 1 minute the dishwasher will advance to the end of cycle. 49 User instructions CHANGING THE PROGRAM To change the program in progress, simply open the door and select a new program. When the door is closed the dishwasher will automatically select the new program. SELECTING THE WASH-ZONE OPTION (available in all programs except the soak program) Press button (10) in repetition to select the zone where you wish to concentrate the washing action, in the following order: 1) 2) 3) right zone 65% - left zone 35% (right-hand light on); right zone 35% - left zone 65% (left-hand light on); both zones 50% (lights off). EXTRA PROGRAMS Button (6) gives access to five extra programs in addition to the ones which can be selected directly using the program selector button. This button must be pressed (the light comes on) after selection of the "main" program (1, 2, 3, 4 or 5). This function is retained in the memory, so the button has to be pressed again (the light goes out) if the user wishes to execute one of the 5 main programs at the next cycle. 50 User instructions "3/1" OPTION BUTTON (available in all programs except the soak program) By pressing the button (8) you activate the "3/1" option, confirmed when the relative light comes on. This option has been studied for the use of dishwashing powder or tablets with integrated substances in place of regenerating salt or rinse-aid known on the market as “3 in 1” or “triple action” products; in this case the dishwasher will use the product in an optimal way avoiding salt and rinse-aid consumption, which could already be found in the dishwasher. Note: When selecting the "3/1" button, it is normal that the salt and rinse-aid lights remain on, if their containers are empty. DELAYING THE PROGRAM (available in all programs except the soak program) The PROGRAM DELAY button (12) can be pressed to delay the start of the program by up to 9 hours. This means that the dishwasher can be operated at the time of day of your choice. Press the button several times in succession and the display will show the delay with which the appliance will start, beginning from 9 hours. The dishwasher will perform a dish pre-washing, and when finish, the “delay program” will enter in function as it was first set. … AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT • • • • • Always try to run the dishwasher fully loaded. Use the washing program that is most appropriate for each type of load. Before replacing the cap, remove any salt residues from around the opening. • • When using the dishwasher for the first time, in addition to the salt it is also necessary to add one litre of water to the container. Each time the salt container is refilled, make sure that the cap is securely closed. The mixture of water and detergent must never penetrate the salt container, as this would compromise the operation of the regeneration system. Only use regenerating salt specially formulated for domestic dishwashers. If using salt tablets, do not fill the container completely. • 54 User instructions • • Do not use table salt as it contains insoluble substances which, over time, may damage the water softening system. When necessary, refill the regenerating salt container before starting the washing program. In this way, the excess saline solution will be immediately removed by the water; the prolonged presence of salt water inside the tank may lead to corrosion. Be careful not to confuse the salt and detergent packages; adding detergent to the salt container will damage the water softening system. 4. 2 Using the rinse aid and detergent dispensers The detergent and rinse aid dispensers are on the inside of the door; rinse aid on the left and detergent on the right. RINSE AID DETERGENT 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. 55 User instructions 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. • Add the rinse aid until the container is full (approximately 140 cc). • The optical level indicator O on the side of the cap should be completely obscured. [. . . ] 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. 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.
