second the machine is switched ON. The A-5 LED goes off and the first leveling of the water begins.
Switching the machine off
Switch the machine off by pressing the A-1 button for at least 1 second; all system functions are interrupted, all LEDs on
the control panel go off and the thermometers go off apart from the A-5 LED which goes on again (no blinking).
Washing program
The dishwasher offers various washing programs which can be selected from the control panel

Function
After having switched the mains power on by turning the mains selector on the wall the A-5 LED goes on to indicate that
the machine is connected to the mains power. By pressing and holding the ON/OFF button A-1 for at least 3 seconds the
machine starts filling the tank and the boiler and when the correct level has been reached the heating is activated (the
two heating systems are regulated by a changeover switch), the thermometers (where fitted)on the control panel indicate
the temperature and the normal washing cycle LED (A-6) is on.
Wait for some minutes until the temperature on the thermometers A-7 and A-8 (where fitted), correspond to
approximately 85°C for the boiler and approximately 60°C for the tank or verify that the A-9 LED goes on (where
fitted).
At this point the cycle program can be selected by pressing the A-3 button. The startup of the program is not linked to the
tank or boiler temperature. The machine works with automatic washing programs including washing, water dripping
pause, rinsing. The quantity of rinse-aid is regulated through the rinse-aid dispenser unit inside the machine and is
charged through the external bin. The quantity of the detergent may be regulated either by hand or by an internal or
external detergent dispenser.
Washing
The pump brings the washing water from the tank to the dishes through the pipe system and the upper and lower
washing arms. During the circulation, the washing water passes through a filter system which holds back small solid
particles and protects the pump impeller.
Water dripping pause
After the washing cycle the machine stops for some seconds to assure that the washing water drips from the dishes.
Rinsing
During the last part of the program the washed dishes are rinsed with hot clean water from the boiler to remove the
residues of the washing water. The rinsing water is used to heat up the dishes in order to let them dry as they are taken
out of the machine and it is also used to regenerate the washing water in the tank.
Hydraulic rinse-aid dispenser
The hydraulic rinse-aid dispenser is activated during each rinsing phase to inject a certain quantity of rinse-aid into the
boiler (1cc to 3cc) which is equal to a length of about 8 cm to 24 cm in the feeding tube. The quantity of rinse-aid can be
regulated by turning the regulation screw on the front (E) after having removed the front panel. If the screw is completely
turned in the quantity corresponds to 1cc. When the dispenser is installed for the first time it is necessary to fill up the
feeding tube by repeatedly pressing the regulation screw.
Attention: the minimum feeding pressure, measured at the connection of the water mains of the machine
during final rinsing ( flow pressure) must never be below 180 kPa (1,8 bar) even when other machines connected or taps
are opened on the same water supply line. An excessive quantity of rinse-aid may leave bluish strains on the glasses
and causes an excessive foam formation in the tank. Whereas dishes covered by water drops or a long drying period
indicate that there is not enough rinse-aid or that there is a light layer of amid which can be removed by putting the
dishes into a basin with water and enough detergent (1:10) for some minutes.
Electric detergent dispenser (optional)
During rinsing the peristaltic dispenser is activated to inject the detergent into the tank. Before using the machine, the
dispenser and the feeding tube have to be filled up. Make sure that the detergent reserve bin is full. To fill up the plastic
tube of the detergent feeding: run the first water charging without the overflow pipe in its place until the feeding tube is
full. To calibrate the correct quantity contact a qualified technical assistance service.
