Installation EN Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for future reference. 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.
Connecting the water outlet hose Connect the outlet hose (without bending it) to a drain duct with a minimum diameter of 4 cm. Alternatively, rest it over a sink or tub; the free end of the hose should not remain immersed in water. The special plastic elbow* makes it easier to find the best layout: fix the elbow to the wall securely in order to prevent the outlet hose from moving and spilling the dirty water.

Loading the racks Before loading the rack, remove all food residue from the crockery, leave saucepans and frying pans with burnt-on residue to soak in water only and empty all remaining liquid from cups and glasses. After loading the appliance, check that the sprayer arms can rotate freely. If the rack is equipped with the click clack handles* (see figure), pull them upwards or downwards to adjust the height.
Start-up and use EN Starting the dishwasher 1. Turn the water tap on. 2. Press the ON/OFF button: the indicator light will illuminate. 3. Open the door and pour in a suitable amount of detergent (see below). 4. Load the racks (see Loading the racks) and shut the door. 5. Select the desired wash cycle depending on the dishes and how dirty they are (see table of wash cycles), by turning the knob clockwise. 6.
Wash cycles Wash cycle table EN 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 varies according to the model of dishwasher.
Rinse aid and refined salt EN Only use products that have been specifically designed for dishwashers. Do not use table salt or industrial salt. If using a multi-functional product (2-in-1, 3-in-1, 4-in1,etc.) it is not necessary to add rinse aid; however, we recommend that you add salt, especially if you live in an area where the water is hard or very hard. If you do not add salt or rinse aid, the LOW SALT* and LOW RINSE AID* indicator lights will flash continuously.
