If the appliance is sold, given away or moved, please ensure the manual is kept with the machine, so that the new owner may benefit from the advice contained within it. Please read this instruction manual carefully: it contains important information regarding the safe installation, use and maintenance of the appliance. 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. [. . . ] To achieve the best results from each washing and drying cycle, powder detergent, rinse aid liquid and salt should be used. Pour in the detergent after consulting the Wash cycle table: • for powder detergent use compartments A and B • for tablets, when the cycle requires 1 tablet, place it in C compartment A and close the cover; when it requires 2, place the second tablet at the bottom of the appliance. Remove detergent residues from the edges of the compartment and close the cover until it clicks. Wash cycles Ariston dishwashers are fitted with an automatic filter cleaning system that may increase the cycle duration. If the crockery is only lightly soiled or if it has been rinsed with water before being placed in the dishwasher, reduce the amount of detergent used accordingly. The number and type of wash cycles and options may vary depending on the dishwasher model. Environmentally-friendly* wash cycle with low energy consumption levels, suitable for pans and dishes. Preliminary wash cycle for dishes while the load is awaiting completion with the dishes from the next meal. Special cycle to be used for more delicate items which are sensitive to high temperatures. Rinse and drying cycle for dishes that are seldom used and are only dusty. Loading the rinse aid Rinse aid makes it easier for the crockery to dry, as water runs off surfaces more readily and therefore does not leave streaks or marks. The rinse aid dispenser should be filled: • whenever the indicator light (H) signals that it is empty. Illuminated light: add rinse aid; unlit light: there is no shortage of rinse aid in the dispenser. Open the dispenser by turning H the lid (G) in an anticlockwise direction. 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 Selector knob position / MED + Salt consumption (grams/cycle) 0 20 40 60 Autonomy (cycles/2 kg) / 60 40 25 Adjusting the amount of rinse aid If you are not completely satisfied with the washing or 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 bluish 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. Loading the refined salt Every dishwasher is equipped with a water softener which, by using refined salt designed especially for this type of appliance, supplies water without limescale which is then used to wash the crockery. [. . . ] Disposal of old electrical appliances The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human health and the environment. The crossed out "wheeled bin" symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected. 22 Troubleshooting Whenever the appliance fails to work, check for a solution from the following list before calling for Technical Assistance Centre.
