REFERENCES for the ENERGY LABEL supplied with the dishwasher:
- Annual energy consumption is based on 280 standard wash cycles with
cold water and consumption of low-energy operating modes. Actual
consumption depends on the way in which the appliance is used.
- Water consumption is based on 280 standard wash cycles. Actual
consumption depends on the way in which the appliance is used.
- Information refers to the EN 50242 STANDARD programme (identified in the
programmes table), which is the most effective in terms of combined energy
and water consumption. The programme is recommended for dishes with a
normal level of dirt.
- Energy consumption in “sleep” mode = 0.02 W.
- Energy consumption in “on” mode = 1.5 W.
- Drying efficiency class on a scale from “G” (minimum efficiency) to “A”
(maximum efficiency).
User instructions 14 3.2 Washing programs Before starting a washing program make sure that: • The water supply tap is open. • The correct amount of detergent has been added to the dispenser. • The baskets have been correctly loaded. • The spray arms are able to rotate freely and without obstruction. • The dishwasher door is securely closed. QUICK TIME PROGRAMS Select this option together with any washing program (except the soak program) to SHORTEN the cycle by from a minimum of 10% to a maximum of 55%, depending on the cycle selected. To activate this option, press the QUICK OPTION button (light comes on) after selecting the program required. The option is automatically deactivated at the end of the program. ENERSAVE This option can be selected with the wash programme of choice to further reduce energy consumption. Drying is aided by a special device that automatically releases the door, which opens slowly and smoothly by a few centimetres. This ensures perfect drying and greater control of rinsing temperatures, which can be kept at lower levels for significant energy saving. Once the door has opened, the dishwasher emits a short beep and programme lights nos. 4 and 5 (marked “end”) flash to indicate the end of the washing cycle. Enersave is activated automatically every time a wash cycle is selected (except for programs that do not include the final drying phase; see programs table) and can be disabled before the program is started. When the function is activated, opening of the door must not be impeded in any way; do not leave anything in the space in front of the door necessary to allow it to open. Do not re-close the door during automatic opening as this would damage the mechanism. Wait for the pushers to retract before re-closing the door.
User instructions 15 SPREAD HALF LOAD Suitable when there are not many dishes to be washed, it saves energy and reduces the program duration. Place dishes in both baskets then load the detergent dispenser than less than the normal amount for a full load. EXTRA OPTIONS - “Flexi Tabs” BUTTON Press buttons 6 + 8 (QUICK TIME PROGRAMS button + ENERSAVE option button) simultaneously to activate the Flexi Tabs option; the respective light comes on to confirm the selection. The option is optimised for use of detergents which are complete with salt and rinse aid, known on the market as 3 in 1, triple action, etc. With this option activated, any salt and rinse aid If you wish to use detergents which already contain salt and rinse aid already in the dishwasher will not be used. N.B.: even with the Flexi Tabs option selected, the regenerating salt/rinse aid lights will still stay on if their containers are empty. IMPORTANT: the option continues to be active until it is deactivated by pressing buttons 6 + 8 simultaneously; the light will then go out. If the water hardness has been set on a value above H3, and the “Flexi Tbas” option is activated, the relative light flashes, warning of a setting error. Multi-function products are not suitable for use with very hard water; this does not prevent the use of the option, but the washing results might not be of the best. DELAYED START The start of the washing program can be delayed to program the dishwasher to operate at the preferred time of day (e.g. overnight). Press the PROGRAM DELAY button to activate the option and display a 1 hour delay. Keep pressing to select the delay required, which may be up to 9, 12 or 24 hours depending on the model. When the door is closed, the appliance will prewash the dishes, after which the program delay set will come into effect.
User instructions 16 CANCELLING THE CURRENT PROGRAM • To cancel the currently selected program, open the door and hold down the PROGRAM SELECTION (3) button for a few seconds until the indicator lights for programs 4 and 5 illuminate simultaneously (the word end is displayed on the window). • Close the door. • After approximately 1 minute the dishwasher will advance to the end of cycle. 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.
User instructions 17 TO SAVE ON ENERGY! … AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT • Always try to run the dishwasher fully loaded. • Do not wash the dishes in running water. • Use the washing program that is most appropriate for each type of load. • Do not carry out any preliminary rinsing. • If available, connect the dishwasher to a hot water supply up to 60°C. • Use the ENERSAVE option. TO CUT DOWN ON DETERGENT CONSUMPTION! … AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT The phosphates contained in dishwasher detergents are harmful to the environment. To avoid using excessive amounts of detergent and to save on electricity, observe the following: • separate the more delicate items from dishes that are more resistant to aggressive detergents and high temperatures; • do not pour the detergent directly on the dishes. If the door has to be opened while washing is in progress, the program will be interrupted. The relative light will keep flashing 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, because it might cause problems in execution of the program. END OF CYCLE At the end of the washing cycle the dishwasher gives a short acustic signal and the program indicators nr 4 and 5 start blinking (the word end is displayed on the window). To switch off the dishwasher, open the door and press the ON/OFF button (1). REMOVING THE DISHES At the end of the washing program, wait at least 20 minutes before removing the dishes, to allow them to cool down. To prevent any water droplets on the upper basket from falling on the dishes in the lower basket, it is advisable to unload the lower basket first, and then the upper basket.
User instructions 18 4. 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. 4.1 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 41-60°dF – 24-31°dH). 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. The container is situated at the bottom of the dishwasher. After removing the lower basket, unscrew the salt container cap by turning it anticlockwise and pour in the salt using the funnel supplied with the dishwasher. 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. In the event of this occurring, the warranty will be invalidated. • Only use regenerating salt specially formulated for domestic dishwashers. If using salt tablets, do not fill the container completely. SALT
