2. Installation and hook-up
Remove the polystyrene basket retainers.
Position the appliance in the desired place of installation. The back or
sides of the dishwasher may be placed up against walls or other furniture
units. If the dishwasher is installed near a heat source, fit the special
insulating panel to prevent overheating and malfunction of the appliance.
To ensure stability, install integrated or built-under dishwashers only under
continuous worktops, and screw them to the adjacent units. To facilitate
the installation procedure, the intake and drain hoses can be positioned in
any direction; make sure that the hoses are not kinked, crushed or pulled
too tightly. Make sure to tighten the locking ring-nut once the pipes have
been placed in the direction required. A hole at least 8 cm in diameter is
required to allow the power supply cable and pipes to pass. Before putting
the dishwasher into its definitive position, turn on the water tap and check
that there are no leaks from the tap connection, the dishwasher
connection or the hose.
Level the appliance on the floor using its adjustable feet. This operation is
essential for ensuring correct operation of the dishwasher.
Some models are equipped with only one adjustable foot at the rear, which
can be adjusted by turning the screw on the lower front part of the
appliance.
Building-in a dishwasher underneath a hob is absolutely forbidden.
Moreover, dishwashers may not be installed directly touching appliances
which are not conventional built-in kitchen appliances (e.g. fireplaces,
stoves, etc.).
When installing the dishwasher in a compartment next to one or more other
appliances, it is essential to comply with all the recommendations provided
by the appliance’s manufacturer (minimum distances, installation
procedures, etc.).
For free-standing models only:
- Installing a hob on top of a free-standing dishwasher is absolutely
forbidden.
- If the appliance is not built-in and is therefore accessible on one side, the
door hinge area must be covered for safety
reasons (injury hazard). The covering fixtures are available as an accessory
from specialist dealers or the After-Sales
Service.
- To build in the dishwasher, the special kit must be purchased from authorised
dealers or the After-Sales Service.

2.1 Water supply connection
Preventing the risk of clogging or damage: if the water pipe is new or
has not been used for a long time, before connecting to the water supply
check that the water is clear and free of impurities, to prevent damage to
the appliance.
The dishwasher must always be connected to the water system with
new hoses; old or used hoses must never be reused.
CONNECTING TO THE WATER SUPPLY
Connect the intake hose to a cold water supply with ¾” gas
thread, inserting the filter A supplied with the dishwasher.
Take care to screw the hose firmly into place with your
hands and then complete by tightening about ¼ of a
turn with pliers.
In dishwashers equipped with the ACQUASTOP device,
the filters is already fitted inside the threaded ring.
The dishwasher can also be connected to a hot water supply
not exceeding
60°C. Supplying the appliance with hot water cuts down the washing time
by approximately 20 minutes, but slightly reduces its effectiveness. Make
the connection to the domestic hot water supply using the same procedure
described for connecting to the cold water supply.
DRAIN CONNECTION
Insert the dishwasher’s drain hose
into a drain pipe having a diameter
of at least 4 cm, or alternatively,
place it inside the kitchen sink
using the plastic support provided,
taking care not to crush or
excessively bend the hose. It is
important to prevent the hose from
coming loose and falling. For this
purpose, the plastic support is
equipped with a hole for tying it to
the wall or water tap.
The free end should be positioned at a height of between
30 and 100 cm
,
and should never be submerged in water. If a horizontal drain extension
hose is used (for a maximum of 3 m) the drain hose can be placed at a
maximum height of
85 cm
from the ground.

TO SAVE ON ENERGY! … AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT
Always use the dishwasher with a full load.
Do not wash the dishes in running water.
Use the washing program that is most appropriate for each type of
load.
Do not carry out any preliminary rinsing.
If available, connect the dishwasher to a hot water supply up to 60°C.
TO CUT DOWN ON DETERGENT CONSUMPTION! … AND PROTECT
THE ENVIRONMENT
The phosphates contained in dishwasher detergents are harmful to the
environment. To avoid using excessive amounts of detergent and to save
on electricity, observe the following:
separate the more delicate items from dishes that are more resistant
to aggressive detergents and high temperatures;
do not pour the detergent directly on the dishes.
If the door has to be opened while washing is in progress, the program will
be interrupted. The relative light will keep flashing and a beeper will signal
that the cycle has not been completed. You must wait about 1 minute
before closing the door to restart the program. When the door is closed
the program will continue from where it was interrupted. This operation
should only be carried out if strictly necessary, because it might cause
problems in execution of the program.
User instructions

4. Operating instructions
Once the dishwasher has been correctly installed, prepare for use as
follows:
Adjust the water softening system;
Add the regenerating salt;
Add the rinse aid and
detergent.
4.1 Using the water softening system
The amount of scale contained in the water
(water hardness index) can cause whitish
staining on the dry dishes, which tend to
become dull over time. The dishwasher is
equipped with an automatic softening
system which uses a special regenerating
salt to reduce the hardness of the water.
When using water of medium hardness, the regenerating salt container
should be refilled after approximately 20 washing cycles. The salt
container can hold approximately 1 Kg of salt in grains. Some models are
equipped with an optical no-salt indicator. In these models, the cap of the
salt container contains a green float which descends as the salt
concentration in the water drops. When the green float can no longer be
seen through the transparent cap, the container must be topped up with
regenerating salt. The container is situated at the bottom of the
dishwasher. After removing the lower basket, unscrew the salt container
cap by turning it anticlockwise and pour in the salt using the funnel
supplied with the dishwasher. Before replacing the cap, remove any salt
residues from around the opening.
When using the dishwasher for the first time, in addition to the salt it
is also necessary to add one litre of water to the container.
Each time the salt container is refilled, make sure that the cap is
securely closed. The mixture of water and detergent must never
penetrate the salt container, as this would compromise the operation
of the regeneration system. In the event of this occurring, the warranty
will be invalidated.
Only use regenerating salt specially formulated for domestic
dishwashers. If using salt tablets, do not fill the container
completely.
SALT
User instructions
16
Do not use table salt as it contains insoluble substances which, over
time, may damage the water softening system.
When necessary, refill the regenerating salt container before
starting the washing program. In this way, the excess saline
solution will be immediately removed by the water; the prolonged
presence of salt water inside the tank may lead to corrosion.
Be careful not to confuse the salt and detergent packages; adding
detergent to the salt container will damage the water softening system.
ADJUSTING THE WATER SOFTENER
The setting can be adjusted using the
PROGRAM SELECTION
BUTTON (3). Keep the button pressed until the WATER HARDNESS
ADJUSTMENT INDICATOR LIGHT (4) flashes. The SELECTED
PROGRAM INDICATOR LIGHTS (2) indicate the current setting. Each
press of the button modifies the setting according to the sequence in the
following table:
>
After carrying out the adjustment or displaying the current setting, if you
do not touch the button for a few seconds the dishwasher will
automatically exit from adjustment mode and return to the standard
operating mode.

4.2 Using the rinse aid and detergent dispensers
The detergent and rinse aid
dispensers are situated on the inner
part of the door: the detergent
dispenser is on the left, and the rinse
aid dispenser is on the right.
With the exception of the SOAK program, before every washing cycle it is
necessary to add the required amount of detergent to the detergent
dispenser. The rinse aid, on the other hand, should only be added as
required.
User instructions
18
ADDING THE RINSE AID
The rinse aid helps the dishes dry faster and
prevents the formation of scale deposits and
staining; it is automatically added to the water
during the final rinse cycle, from the container
situated on the inner side of the door.
To add rinse aid:
Open the dispenser by pressing and lifting the tab on the cover.
Fill the dispenser with rinse aid. Top up again when the rinse aid
indicator light turns on.
Close the cover, a click indicates when it is closed.
Use a cloth to remove any spillage of rinse aid which might lead to
the formation of excess foam.

ADDING THE DETERGENT
To open the detergent dispenser cover, lightly press button
P
. Add the
detergent or tablet and close the cover by sliding it until it stops, indicated
by a click.
The dispenser will open automatically during the wash cycle.
Only add the detergent
(also in tablet form) if the dispenser is dry
When a program with hot prewash is selected (see program table),
extra detergent must be placed in the cavity G/H (depending on
models).
Use only detergents specially formulated for dishwashers. The
detergent packs must be sealed and stored in a dry place to prevent
the formation of lumps which may negatively affect washing results.
Once opened the detergent packs should not be kept for too long,
otherwise the detergent loses its effectiveness.
Do not use detergents for washing dishes by hand because they may
affect the operation of the dishwasher.
Add the correct amount of detergent. An insufficient amount of
detergent will result in a partial removal of dirt from the dishes,
whereas an excessive amount is wasteful and does not improve the
washing results.
For the safeguarding of the environment we recommend the use of
phosphate- and chlorine free detergents.
User instructions
21
The introduction of detergent into the rinse aid dispenser, even in
liquid form, will damage the dishwasher.
4.3 General warnings and recommendations
Before using the dishwasher for the first time, it is advisable to read the
following recommendations concerning dish types to be washed and their
loading.
There are generally no constraints on the washing of domestic dishes,
but in certain cases it is necessary to take their characteristics into
account.
Before loading the dishes into the baskets it is necessary to:
remove coarse food remains: e.g. bones, fish-bones, etc. which may
clog the filter or damage the wash pump.
soak any pots or pans with burnt-on food remains on the bottom to
facilitate removal, then load them into the LOWER BASKET.
There is no need to pre-wash the dishes under running water before
loading them into the baskets since this only wastes water.
Correct loading of the dishes helps ensure optimal washing results.
User instructions
22
WARNING!
Make sure that the dishes are securely in place so that they cannot
tip over or obstruct the rotation of the spray arms during the washing
cycle.
Do not place very small objects in the baskets as these could fall and
obstruct the spray arms or the wash pump.
Containers such as cups, bowls, glasses and pots should always be
loaded with the opening facing downwards and with any cavities at
an angle, to allow the water to drain out.
Do not stack dishes or place them in such a way that they cover one
other.
Do not place glasses too close together because they may knock
against each other and break, or there might be staining at the point
where they touch.
MAKE SURE that the items being washed are dishwasher-safe.
Items which are not dishwasher-safe:
Wooden dishes, pots or pans: these may be damaged by the high
washing temperatures.
Handcrafted items: these are rarely suitable for washing in a
dishwasher. The relatively high water temperatures and the
detergents used may damage them.
Plastic dishes: heat resistant plastic dishes must be washed in the
upper basket.
Dishes and objects in copper, tin, zinc or brass: these tend to
stain.
Aluminium dishes: items made from anodised aluminium may lose
their colour.
Silverware: silver items may stain.
Glass and crystal: in general, glass and crystal objects can be
washed in the dishwasher. However, certain types of glass and
crystal may become dull and lose their clearness after many
washings. Therefore, for these items we recommend using the least
aggressive program available.
Decorated items: the decorated objects available on the market are
generally able to withstand washing in the dishwasher, although the
colours may fade after a great many washes. If in doubt as to the
fastness of the colours, it is advisable to wash just a few items at a
time for approximately one month.
User instructions
23
4.4 Using the baskets
The dishwasher has a capacity of 12 place-settings, including serving
dishes.
LOWER BASKET
The lower basket receives the full force of the lower spray arm, and should
therefore be used for the “toughest” items with a heavier degree of soiling.
All types and combinations of loads are
permitted, provided that the dishes, pots and
pans are arranged with all the soiled surfaces
exposed to the water jets coming from the
bottom.
With fixed supports
To make the most of the space inside the
basket when loading large items, certain
models are equipped with tip-up supports for
plates in 2 or 4 sections.
With tip-up supports
BOTTOM BASKET INSERTS
Some models are equipped with bottom basket inserts which improve
the drying of dishes. The inserts are supplied in the accessories bag; to
use them, simply fit them into place as shown.
User instructions
24
LOADING THE LOWER BASKET
Carefully load flat plates, soup plates, dessert and serving dishes,
positioning them vertically. Pots, pans and their covers must be loaded
upside down. When loading soup plates and dessert bowls, be sure to
leave a gap between them.
Loading examples:
UPPER BASKET
The upper basket should be loaded with small or medium-sized items

CUTLERY BASKET
The basket is suitable for all types of cutlery, except long items that may
interfere with the upper spray arm. The cutlery should be arranged in the
spaces in the upper racks to allow the water to pass effectively between
the items.
Forks and spoons should be positioned with the handle facing
downwards, taking care not to injure yourself with the prongs of the forks.
Knives should be placed in the tray on the upper rack or in the cutlery
drawer, if present (depending on the model), otherwise position them with
the handles facing upwards.
Ladles, wooden spoons and kitchen knives can be placed on the upper
rack, making sure that the blades of the knives do not protrude from
the basket. The upper racks can be opened in order to insert, for example,
small items.
The cutlery basket slides across the dishwasher and can be
placed in
any position to allow optimal use of the space in the bottom basket.

5. Cleaning and maintenance
Before carrying out any work, always unplug the appliance from the
electrical supply or switch off the all-pole disconnection device.
5.1 General warnings and recommendations
Avoid the use of
acidic or abrasive detergents.
Clean the outer surfaces and door-lining of the dishwasher regularly using
a soft cloth moistened with water or with a normal detergent suitable for
painted surfaces. Clean the door gaskets with a damp sponge.
Periodically (once or twice a year) it is advisable to clean the tank and
gaskets, using a soft cloth and water to remove any deposits.
CLEANING THE WATER INTAKE FILTER
The water intake filter A located at the outlet of the water supply tap needs
to be cleaned periodically.
After having closed the water supply tap, unscrew the end of the water
intake hose, remove the filter A and clean it delicately under running
water. Reassemble filter A in its seat and carefully screw the water intake
hose back into p
osition.
CLEANING THE SPRAY ARMS
The spray arms can be easily removed for periodic cleaning of the
nozzles, to prevent possible clogging. Wash them under running water
and carefully replace them in their seats, checking that their rotary
movement is in no way impeded.
To remove the upper spray arm, unscrew locking ring R.
To remove the orbital spray arm assembly, take hold of the longer
arm and pull the orbital unit upward. Wash the arms under a jet of
running water and return them carefully to their seat. After
reassembly, check that the spray arms turn freely. Otherwise,
check that they have been installed correctly.

CLEANING THE FILTER UNIT
It is advisable to periodically inspect the centre filter C and, if
necessary, to clean it. To remove the filter, grip the tabs, turn them
anticlockwise and lift upwards;
push the centre filter D from the underside to remove it from the micro-
filter:
separate the two parts which make up the plastic filter by pressing the
body of the filter in the zone shown by the arrows;
remove the centre filter by lifting it upwards.
GENERAL WARNINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CORRECT
MAINTENANCE:
The filters should be cleaned under running water using a stiff
brush.
When removing the filter, take care that there are no food residues
on it. If any residues fall into the washing pit they might block hydraulic
components, or foul the spray arm nozzles.
It is essential to thoroughly clean the filters according to the above
instructions: the dishwasher cannot function if the filters are clogged.
Carefully replace the filters in their seats, to avoid damaging the
wash pump.
PROLONGED DISUSE:
Run the soak program twice in succession.
Unplug the power cord from the socket.
Leave the door slightly open, in order to prevent the formation of
unpleasant odours inside the washing tank.
Fill the rinse aid dispenser.
Shut off the water supply tap.

BEFORE STARTING THE DISHWASHER AFTER PROLONGED
DISUSE:
Check that there are no deposits of sludge or rust inside the water
pipe: if there are, allow the water to run from the water supply tap for
a few minutes.
Plug the power cord back into the socket.
Reconnect the water intake hose and open the tap again.
TROUBLESHOOTING MINOR PROBLEMS
In some cases it is possible to remedy minor problems by referring to the
following instructions:
If the program fails to start, check that:
the dishwasher is connected to the electrical power supply;
there is no power failure;
the water tap is open;
the dishwasher door is properly closed.
the door does not close:
- the lock has been triggered; close the door with greater force
- regulate the catch of the lock on the door to its maximum adjustment
using the central plastic screw.
If water remains inside the dishwasher, check that:
the drain hose is not kinked;
the drain siphon is not obstructed;
the dishwasher filters are not clogged.
If the dishes are not being cleaned properly, check that:
the correct amount of detergent has been added;
there is regenerating salt inside the special container;
the dishes are being loaded correctly;
the selected program is suitable for the dish types and their degree of
soiling;
all the filters are clean and positioned correctly;
the spray arm nozzles are not obstructed;
there is no object obstructing the rotation of the spray arms.

If the dishes fail to dry or remain dull, check that:
there is rinse aid inside the special container;
the rinse aid dispenser setting is correct;
the detergent used is of good quality and has not lost its effectiveness
(for example, through incorrect storage, with the box left open).
Non-dry synthetic dishes. Synthetic material has a lower heat storage
capacity and is therefore harder to dry.
If the dishes show signs of streaking, staining, etc., check that:
the rinse aid dispenser setting is not too high.
If there are visible traces of rust inside the tank:
the tank is made of steel, and therefore any rust marks are due to
external elements (fragments of rust from the water pipes, pots,
cutlery, etc.). Special products are commercially available to remove
such marks;
check that the amount of detergent being used is correct. Certain
detergents can be more corrosive than others.
check that the cap of the salt container is securely closed, and that
the water softening setting is correct.

If the door does not close:
1 - Check the position of the door lock catch (D)
2 - If necessary, raise it by adjusting the plastic screw (V) next to the
catch.
3 - Check the condition of the lock hook; if it has not triggered (reference
N), the door opens and closes normally. If it has triggered (reference S),
close the door with force until it resets; open and close the door.
