[. . . ] If the appliance must be moved at any time, keep it in an upright position; if absolutely necessary, it may be tilted onto its back. A EN 60 83 168 100 120 121 148 B Connecting the water inlet hose • To a suitable cold water connection point: before attaching the hose, run the water until it is perfectly clear so that any impurities that may be present in the water do not clog the appliance; after performing this operation, screw the inlet hose tightly onto a tap with a ¾ gas threaded connection. € To a suitable hot water connection point: your dishwasher may be provided with hot water from the mains supply (if you have a central heating system with radiators) provided that it does not exceed a temperature of 60°C. Screw the hose to the tap as described for connection to a cold water supply. [. . . ] Washing the handles* To wash the upper and lower rack handles: remove the two fastening plugs, lift out the handles and rinse them under running water, then fasten them to the rack using the same plugs. Select the desired wash cycle depending on the dishes and how dirty they are (see table of wash cycles), by turning the knob clockwise. Start the cycle by pressing the START/RESET button: the machine will emit a confirmation beep. The WASH CYCLE PHASE indicator lights display the status of the cycle: Pre-wash, Wash, Rinse, Drying. At the end of the cycle three short beeps will sound and the DRYING indicator light will flash. Switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button, shut off the water tap and unplug the appliance from the electricity socket. Open the door and wait for a few minutes before removing the crockery, in order to avoid burns. Modifying the duration of a wash cycle already in progress If a mistake was made during the wash cycle selection process it is possible to change the cycle, provided that it has only just begun: press and hold the START/RESET button for 4 seconds. After one long beep and three short beeps, the WASH CYCLE PHASE indicator light will switch off: select the new cycle and switch the machine back on by pressing the START/RESET button. Adding extra crockery Press the ON/OFF button and open the door, taking care to avoid the escaping steam, and place the crockery inside the dishwasher. Press the ON/OFF button again: the cycle starts from the point at which it was interrupted. Pour in the rinse aid, making sure it does not overflow from the dispenser. Adjusting the amount of salt* It is possible to adjust the amount of salt used according to the hardness of the water in your area (this information is available from your local water board). Turn the arrow on the neck of the dispenser (see figure) towards the + or symbols, using the table below as a guide. 9 Autonomy (cycles/2 kg) / 60 40 25 Adjusting the amount of rinse aid If you are not completely satisfied with the drying results, you may adjust the quantity of rinse aid used. Use a screwdriver to turn the dosage adjuster to one of the 6 pre-set positions (the default position is set to 4): • if there are white streaks on the crockery, set the adjuster to a lower number (1-3). € if drops of water remain on the crockery or there are limescale marks present after the cycle has finished, set the adjuster to a higher number (4-6). If you are using multi-functional tablets and you wish to further improve the drying performance of the appliance, fill the dispenser and set the dosage adjuster to 2. - If using multi-functional tablets fill the salt dispenser and set the adjuster to -; if the hardness of the water is greater than 60°fH, set it to +. Loading the refined salt In order to obtain the best possible results from a wash cycle, make sure that the dispenser is never empty. Refined salt removes limescale from the water, thus avoiding the formation of deposits on crockery. The salt dispenser is located in the lower part of the dishwasher (see Description) and should be filled: • when the green float* cannot be seen by simply looking at the cap of the salt dispenser; • when the LOW SALT* indicator light on the panel flashes; • if your machine is not equipped with an indicator light or a green float: approximately every 30 wash cycles; * Only available in selected models. [. . . ] Saving energy and respecting the environment Saving water and energy • Only start a wash cycle when the dishwasher is full. While waiting for the dishwasher to be filled, prevent unpleasant odours with the Soak cycle (see Wash Cycles). € Select a wash cycle that is suited to the type of crockery and to the soil level of the crockery using the Wash cycle table: - for dishes with a normal soil level, use the Eco wash cycle, which guarantees low energy and water consumption levels. - if the load is smaller than usual activate the Half load option (see Start-up and use).
