5 FIRST START-UP

First start-up

The electrical protection system must undergo a functional test before the appliance is put into operation.

The appliance must be installed and/or inspected by qualified staff, who will start it up for the first time and provide the

relevant operating instructions.

Preparing for use (important)

The rinse aid dispenser is fitted on all models, the detergent dispenser only on some.

If both dispensers are present put the external detergent and rinse aid containers in place and insert the respective intake

hoses on the rear of the appliance into them. Red hose: detergent, blue hose: rinse aid

Before inserting the hoses into the containers, fit the weights (needed to ensure that they always draw in

liquid from the bottoms of the containers) and the filters onto their ends as shown. If the detergent dispenser

is not factory-fitted, it can be retrofitted after ordering the relative kit.

As an alternative an external dispenser can be fitted, making the electrical connection by means of an H05 RN-F 2x0.5 mm

electrical cable, which can be laid along the route shown in the TECHNICAL DATA diagram and connected as shown in the wiring

diagram supplied with the dishwasher. The dispenser must operate on 230V/50 Hz with maximum power absorption of 15 W.

Connect to the detergent dispenser outside the dishwasher using the red hose mentioned above.

IMPORTANT

Whenever the type of detergent or rinse aid is changed, it is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL to flush out the peristaltic pumps by

placing the external intake pipes in water for a few cycles. Always use only products specifically recommended for use in a

professional dishwasher. Failure to comply with this recommendation leads to forfeiture of the warranty entitlement on the

appliance’s water system. The internal pipes of the detergent and rinse aid peristaltic pumps should be replaced by the After-

Sales Service every 12 months or 15,000 wash cycles.

5.1 Using the water softener (on models with this feature only)

The quantity of lime in the water (which indicates its hardness) causes whitish marks on dry dishes and dishes

also tend to lose their shine over time. The dishwasher is equipped with an automatic water softener which

removes the substances that cause hardness from the water with the aid of regenerating salt.

The first time the dishwasher is used, a litre of water must be poured into the tank with the salt. Whenever the

tank is filled, always take care to ensure that the cap is firmly closed. The mixture of water and detergent must

not get into the salt tank, as this would impair operation of the regeneration system. In this case warranty

cover will be forfeited.
