4.1 On/Off button (S0)


All models feature this button and it is used to switch on and off the appliance: the switching off does
not cause the cancellation of the current programme. When the appliance is switched on, only the End of
cycle LED is on and in case, if featured, the Salt and Rinse aid LEDs.

4.2 Option selection button (S1)


The system used for selecting the wash programmes depends on the configuration of the model. They
can be the “delayed start” or the “half load”: Switching off and on the dishwasher, the chosen settings are
cancelled.

4.3 Programme selection button (S2)


The functions of the various buttons and LEDs depend exclusively on the software configuration of
each appliance. With button S2 it is possible to scroll down sequentially all the available programmes: when
the button is pressed, the LED relative to the chosen programme lights.
When the button S2 is activated for the first time, the last programme performed is shown. This
button has also a Reset function.

4.4 Options

4.4.1 “1/2 load”


The 1/2 load option optimizes the washing cycle when only a small load is placed in the appliance.
When this button is pressed, certain parameters of the selected washing cycle are modified:
Exclusion of Pre-wash (if featured)
Reduction of the washing temperature
Reduction of the duration of the programme

OR
4.4.2 Delayed start
This option enables the user to set a fixed start delay of the washing cycle.
to select the delayed-start time, with door open:
1. Switch the appliance on with S0 button.
2. Press the S1 button to select the delayed-start time: LED LD1 lights up to show that the selection has
been made.
The time reset when the relative button is pressed again: the LED LD1 switches off.
3. Select the programme pushing S2 button in sequence.
4. Close the door: the countdown starts.
5. When the countdown terminates, the selected cycle starts.

4.5 Cancelling a programme


To cancel a programme that has already started:
1. Press button S2 for at least 3 seconds.
2. The LED of the current programme flashes.
3. Salt/Rinse-aid LEDs light up (if featured): the programme is cancelled and the appliance returns to
preselection mode.
4. The End of cycle LED flashes.
5. Select the new programme.

4.6 Interruption of a programme (pause)


If the door is opened, the appliance remains on (the power loads are deactivated).
The Option LED remains on.
Closing the door the programme starts, after a brief delay, from the point at which it was interrupted.

Important! If the appliance is switched off or if the door is opened for more than 30 seconds during
the drying phase, the cycle is considered to have been terminated after the regeneration phase;
when the appliance is switched on again, it returns to programme selection mode.

4.7 Power failure


The Power Failure function maintains the information relative to the cycle status even in the even of a
power outage; when the power supply is restored, the cycle resumes from the point at which it was
interrupted.
If the power failure occurs during the drying phase, the cycle is considered to have been terminated after the
regeneration phase.

The Power Failure has been defined in the following way:


When a Power Fail occurs, all loads switch off simultaneously to enable to save the data in EEPROM,
through the energy stored in the supply condenser of the control board, and when the power is restored, the
cycle restarts from the point at which it was interrupted.

7.3 Power supply and programme selection
The main board is powered by the closure of contacts. The connectors used are B2 (neutral) and B1
(line).
The control/display board (user interface) is powered at 220V by the main board.
When the door is closed, the main board detects the closure of the contacts of the switch (IP) across
connectors C1-C3 and starts the washing programme.
When the door is opened, the power loads are disconnected from the power supply and the cycle is
paused.

7.4 Fill circuit

7.4.1 Level and anti-overflow pressure switch


• The level of water introduced into the appliance is determined by
the level pressure switch.
• The anti-overflow pressure switch ensures that the level of water does not exceed the safety threshold
(causing overflow from the door).

7.4.2 Fill system


The water fill solenoid valve is powered by the electronic board via the connector D7, by the door
switch (IP) and the anti-flooding microswitch (DA).
The level of water in the sump is monitored by the pressure switch (RL). The electronic board constantly
monitors the status of the pressure switch via a “sensing” line connected to connector D5:
EMPTY if the contacts are closed on 1-2
FULL if the contacts are closed on 1-3

7.4.3 Anti-flooding device


Intervention of the anti-flooding device causes the contacts of the microswitch (DA) to open, thus
disconnecting the solenoid valve from the power supply.

7.4.4 Intervention of the anti-overflow system


If the anti-overflow pressure switch (PA) should intervene, the closure of the contact on FULL (1-3)
powers the drain pump (PS). The pump remains in operation until the contact returns to EMPTY (1-2).

If the door is opened or the appliance is switched off, the drain pump is deactivated.

7.5 Control of water fill phase


The quantity of water necessary to carry out the washing cycle is determined exclusively by the
closure of the electrical contact of the pressure switch, which changes from EMPTY to FULL. This system
ensures that, if the pressure switch re-opens on EMPTY, further water is introduced until it returns to FULL.
The water fill phase consists of the following sub-phases:

7.5.1 Static fill


With the motor switched off, the fill solenoid valve is energized and water is introduced into the
appliance until the pressure switch signal switches to FULL.

7.5.2 Dynamic fill


The dynamic fill is obtained by switching on the washing pump whose rotation causes the pressure
switch to switch to EMPTY. Subsequently, the fill solenoid valve is energized and water is introduced until
the switch returns to FULL.
The speed of rotation of the motor determines the quantity of water introduced, since the electronic
control system switches on the washing pump at a rotation speed of 2600-2800 rpm.

7.5.3 Level stability control


The hydraulic circuit operates with maximum efficiency when the pressure switch signal remains
stable on FULL. In practise, the quantity of water circulating in the sump allows the motor to run without
speed fluctuations caused by cavitation.
When the pressure switch signals FULL, the fill solenoid valve switches.

SOI/TD 2005-2 PR 12 /26 599 36 83-66


7.6 Water fill time
The opening of the solenoid valve has a pre-set overall duration, which is subdivided into the various sub-
phases of the fill:

7.6.1 Static fill time


T.S. = max 90 seconds: This is the maximum time within which the pressure switch must switch to FULL. If
the FULL signal is not received from the pressure switch within this time, the electronic control system
interrupts the washing cycle and the appliance enters alarm condition [1 0].

7.6.2 Dynamic fill time


T.D. = T.S. x 3: This is the maximum time allowed for the entire fill phase within which the pressure switch
signal must stabilize on FULL.
• If the pressure switch signal does not stabilize on FULL within this period (T.S. x 3), the electronic
control system switches off the fill solenoid (and the heating element, if switched on), and then allows
the washing cycle to proceed until it is completed. In this situation, the alarm condition [F 0] is not
displayed to the user, but may be accessed by the Service Engineer using a specific procedure.
• If, during a 2600 rpm dynamic fill, the pressure switch never closes on FULL during the initial 60
seconds, the electronic control system interrupts the washing cycle and the appliance enters alarm
condition [1 0].

7.6.3 Power supply interruption during water fill

If the water fill phase is interrupted by opening the door or due to a power failure, the contents of the
counters are stored in memory; when the door is re-closed or when the power supply is restored, the water
fill resumes from the point at which it was interrupted; the new counter values are added to those previously
memorized.

7.7 Level stability during washing

Once the fill phase has been completed, the cycle proceeds to the washing phase. The washing phase is
carried out using cold or heated water, and the status of the pressure switch is monitored constantly to
ensure that the hydraulic system functions correctly. Water replenishment cycles may be performed if
necessary.
If the pressure switch returns to EMPTY during the washing phase, the fill solenoid is energized for a
maximum time equivalent to T.S. x 3 (maximum allowable total fill time).
If this time is exceeded, the washing cycle is completed, but no further supplementary fills are
performed. In this situation, alarm condition [F 0] is stored in memory. This alarm code is not displayed to
the user, but can be accessed by the Service Engineer using a specific procedure.

7.8 Washing system


The appliance features the classic washing system in which the mechanical washing action is
obtained by the rotation of the washing pump which, by ducting water into the hydraulic circuit, actions the
two spray arms simultaneously.
The washing pump is actioned by an asynchronous motor with a start-up capacitor (3µF– 450VL).
The washing pump rotates in a counter-clockwise direction (seen from the impeller side).

7.8.1 Control of the washing pump


The washing pump (PL) is powered by the electronic control (connector D3-D11).

7.9 Heating
The heating element is enclosed in a protective tube, and is used to heat the washing water (but
does not switch on during the drying phase). The heating element is fitted to the outlet of the washing pump
and connected to the duct which feeds the upper spray arm.
The heating element (RR) is powered by electronic control (connector A1) and by the level pressure
switch (RL), which must be set to “FULL” (contact closed on 1-3).
Two safety thermostats are fitted to the heating element:
- an automatic-reset thermostat which intervenes at 98ºC

SOI/TD 2005-2 PR 13 /26 599 36 83-66


- a thermostat with a thermal fuse (206ºC)
The temperature of the water is controlled by the main circuit board via an NTC sensor (ST) which is
connected to connectors H1-H3.

7.10 Integrated detergent dispenser


The detergent dispenser is a plastic container consisting of two B
separate sections. The first (A) contains the detergent; the second (B) A
contains the Rinse-aid.
The dispenser is of the single-coil type, and uses a single electrical
coil, connected to a mechanical system, for both functions.
When the coil is energized, it actions the mechanism via a series of
levers to introduce detergent in a determined sequence (first detergent, then
rinse-aid).
The coil of the detergent dispenser (DD) is powered by an electronic control via connectors E1-E3 at
certain points during the cycle, thus ensuring correct dosage.

Some models feature a rinse-aid sensor whose reed contact (SB) is connected to connectors G3-G4
on the circuit board.
The absence of rinse-aid causes the contact to close, which lights the corresponding LED (on the
display board).

7.11 Drain
The drain pump (PS) is powered by connectors C1-D1 and via the contacts of the switch door (IP).
At the end of the drain phase, a control procedure is performed to check that the contact of the level
pressure switch is open on EMPTY. If this is the case, the appliance proceeds to the subsequent phase.
If, as a result of a problem in the drain phase, the pressure switch contact remains closed on FULL
(i.e. if there is water in the hydraulic circuit), the drain phase is repeated.
On completion of this second drain phase, the status of the pressure switch is again checked. If it is still
closed on FULL, alarm [i20] is generated (failure to drain). The time-out for each of these two phases is 120
seconds.

N.B. The washing programmes always begin with a drain phase.

7.11.1 Siphon” effect


If the drain tube is incorrectly positioned, the so-called “siphon effect” may occur, in which case an
alarm is displayed iF0 (see 9.1).
The problem is particularly likely to occur during execution of the “declaration cycle”: although the
drain pump shuts down at the end of the (partial) drain phase, water continues to be expelled from the
machine because the drain tube is incorrectly positioned. When this occurs, water loaded by the fill solenoid
during the next phase is directly expelled, so the “full contact” on the pressure switch does not close before
its “time out”.
Thus, if alarm iF0 occurs, it is a good idea to make sure the drain tube is correctly positioned as
shown in the instruction manual.

SOI/TD 2005-2 PR 14 /26 599 36 83-66


7.12 Regeneration system
Regeneration of the water softening system, which takes around 4 min, is usually performed at the
start of the drying phase.
Every time regeneration is performed (with activation of regeneration solenoid 4), the accumulation
chamber is completely emptied of its contents (about 230 cc of water). Regeneration is controlled by the
electronic control system “Ad Hoc”, i.e. not at each washing cycle, but rather at intervals determined by the
level of regeneration selected:
If level [1] is selected, regeneration is never performed and the SALT LED (if featured) always remains
unlit.
If level [10] is selected, regeneration is performed twice during each cycle; first at the end of the washing
phase, and then at the beginning of the drying phase.

The regeneration solenoid (ER) is powered by connectors D9-C1 on the main board and by the contacts
of the door switch (IP).

Some models may feature a salt sensor, whose Reed contact (SS) is connected to G1-G2 connectors of
the board.
When there is no salt, the contact closes and the relative LED lights up (on display board).

7.13 Resin washing

Washing of the resins contained in the softening system is performed at the beginning of each washing
cycle. In practise, the solution of salty water (regeneration water) remains deposited in the resin container
from the end of the last completed cycle until the subsequent cycle.
If the regeneration level is set to [10], washing of the resins is performed once at the beginning of the
washing cycle and then again immediately after the regeneration process performed at the end of the
washing phase:
The regeneration sequence is as follows
a. Drain (30 seconds)
b. Water fill to correct level
c. Drain (10 seconds)
d. Water fill (15 seconds)
e. Complete drain

7.14 Blending” function


This function is performed inside the fill tank during the water fill phase which, depending on the
position of the selector, automatically blends the softened water with the unsoftened water present in the
appliance.
In practice, the softened water is introduced into the appliance through the softening system, while
the unsoftened water flows via an open by-pass duct directly through the steam venting ring.
If the level of regeneration is set to between 1 and 4, it is advisable to activate the BLENDING
function to mix softened water with unsoftened water.
This function optimizes the consumption of salt thus preventing the possibility of corrosion of glass recipients
due to excessively soft water.
When the BLENDING function is activated, the percentage of unsoftened
water introduced into the dishwasher is 15%.
The BLENDING function is activated using the selector knob located inside the tub, on the left side, in the
vicinity of the steam venting grille:

Position of selector
pos. 1 = blending enabled.
pos. 2 = blending disabled.

SOI/TD 2005-2 PR 15 /26 599 36 83-66


8 DRYING
In these dishwashers, the dishes are dried by means of a steam condensation process. The drying
system is based on the circulation of the hot air produced during the hot rinse, in which the steam circulates
inside the condenser of the fill tank.
The steam (humid hot air) produced during the hot rinse, enters from below through the steam venting
grille and circulates slowly inside the chamber of the fill tank where it condensates and then exits through
the upper part.

SOI/TD 2005-2 PR 16 /26 599 36 83-66


9 ALARMS
When an abnormal situation occurs that may interfere with machine functioning, the main board activates a safety system which in most cases interrupts the
washing cycle. The last three alarm situations are stored in memory. Using a special procedure, service personnel can display all the alarms stored in memory. The
user is only shown four of the alarms in progress.
The END OF CYCLE LED flashes repeatedly.

14 CHECKING THE EFFICIENCY OF THE COMPONENTS
In order to facilitate the control procedure for the components to be tested, a TEST PROCEDURE has been
created which indicates the point to which the probes of the tester should be applied and the correct
theoretical value for each component tested.

Remove the door and detach all the connectors from the main board.
Connect the probes of the tester to the appropriate points on the connector. Compare the ohmic reading
with the theoretical value.

Care should be taken relative to the position of connector "B1" - "B2": if this connector is
replaced in the incorrect position (back-to-front), the appliance will not function since the power
supply will be disconnected.
