1 INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing one of our products. To use this dishwasher
correctly and safely, please read this manual carefully. The manual is
divided into sections giving you a step-by-step guide to all your ap-
pliance’s functions. The texts are easy to understand and are com-
plete with detailed illustrations. This user-friendly manual will provide
answers to all your questions about use of the dishwasher.
Before using this dishwasher, carefully read chapter 2 “Use and
safety warnings” of the attached general manual.
For any other information about use and maintenance of the dish-
washer, read the enclosed general manual carefully.
This manual comprises the following sections:
INTRODUCTION: general information about the manual.
USER INSTRUCTIONS: advice on using the washing programs and
information about all the dishwasher functions.
Nomenclature of fi gures and tables:
The progressive number of each fi gure is shown in the bottom right-
hand corner of the relative box. An example of a progressive number
is “Fig. 4-01”, where the fi rst number (4) indicates the section to
which the fi gure belongs, while the second number (01) indicates
the progressive number of the fi gure in section 4 (Fig. 4-01 is the
fi rst fi gure in section 4). The tables are numbered in the same way,
bearing in mind that “Tab.” is used instead of “Fig.” (e.g.: Tab. 4-01
is the fi rst table in section 4). If a table occupies more than one page,
a letter is added after the progressive number (e.g.: “Tab. 4-01a”,
Tab. 4-01b”).

3 ENERGY SAVING AND ENVIRONMENTAL
RESPECT
Always try to run the dishwasher fully loaded.
Do not wash the dishes under a running tap.
Use the most suitable washing program for each type of load.
Do not pre-rinse.
If available, connect the dishwasher to a hot water system with a tempera-
ture of up to 60°C (140°F).
When possible, skip the drying cycle by opening the door after washing:
the air and the residue heat will dry the dishes to perfection.
3.1 Reducing the consumption of detergent
and respecting the environment
The phosphates contained in dishwasher detergents are harmful to the envi-
ronment. To avoid using excessive amounts of detergent and to save on elec-
tricity:
Separate the more delicate items from those that are more resistant to ag-
gressive detergents and high temperatures;
Do not pour the detergent directly onto the dishes.

USER INSTRUCTIONS
EN
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 spe-
cial regenerating salt to reduce the hardness of the water. The dishwasher is
factory set for water hardness level 3 (average hardness 41-60°dF – 24-31°dH
/ 23.6-35 gpg). When using water of medium hardness, the regenerating salt
container should be refi lled after approximately 20 washing cycles. The salt
container can hold approximately 1.7 Kg (3.75 lb) of salt in grains. Some mod-
els are equipped with an optical no-salt indicator. In these models, the cap of
the salt container contains a green fl oat which descends as the salt concentra-
tion in the water drops. When the green fl oat can no longer be seen, the con-
tainer must be topped up with regenerating salt. The container is situated at
the bottom of the dishwasher. After removing the lower rack, unscrew the salt
container cap (ref. A fi g. 4-01) by turning it anticlockwise and pour in the salt
using the funnel (ref. A fi g. 4-02) supplied with the dishwasher. Before replacing
the cap (ref. A fi g. 4-01), remove any salt residues from around the opening.

A
When using the dishwasher for the fi rst time, in addition to the salt it is also
necessary to add one liter of water to the container.
Each time the salt container is refi lled, make sure that the cap (ref. A fi g.
4-01) 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 in-
validated.
Only use regenerating salt specially formulated for domestic dishwashers. If
using salt tablets, do not fi ll the container completely.
Do not use table salt as it contains insoluble substances which, over time,
may damage the water softening system.
When necessary, refi ll the regenerating salt container before starting the
washing program. In this way, the excess saline solution will be immedi-
ately 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.

4.2.1 Adding the rinse-aid
The rinse aid helps the dishes dry faster and prevents the formation of scale de-
posits and staining; it is automatically added to the water during the fi nal rinse
cycle, from the container situated on the inner side of the door.
A
B
C
To add rinse aid:
Open the door.
Open the container cover (ref. A fi g. 4-04).
Add the rinse aid until the container is full (approximately 140 ml). The optical
level indicator (ref. B fi g. 4-04), on the side of the container should be com-
pletely obscured. Refi ll the rinse aid when the optical level indicator becomes
clear again, or when the rinse aid warning light on the panel illuminates (see
“Description of controls” manual).
Close the cover (ref. A fi g. 4-04).
Use a cloth to remove any spillage of rinse aid which might lead to the forma-
tion of excess foam.
4.2.2 Adjusting the rinse-aid dispenser setting
The rinse-aid dispenser can be set to one of 6 different levels. The dishwasher
is factory set for medium water hardness (selector set to “3”). To change the
setting, turn the dispenser selector (ref. c fi g. 4-04) to the desired position: the
amount of rinse-aid dispensed is proportional to the position of this selector.
Make sure that the minimum amount of rinse-aid (selector turned to “1”) is
approximately 1 ml and the maximum amount (selector turned to “6”) is ap-
proximately 6 ml.

To adjust the rinse-aid setting, open the cover (ref. A fi g. 4-04).
Then use a screwdriver to rotate the rinse aid selector to the desired posi-
tion.
Close the cover (ref. A fi g. 4-04).
The amount of rinse aid must be increased if the washed dishes appear dull
or feature circular stains.
If, on the other hand, the dishes are sticky or have white streaks, it is neces-
sary to reduce the rinse aid setting.
4.2.3 Adding the detergent
DO NOT INHALE OR SWALLOW DETERGENT AS THIS MAY CAUSE
BURNS AND/OR PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE NOSE, MOUTH
AND THROAT, AND EVEN LEADING TO SUFFOCATION; KEEP DE-
TERGENT AWAY FROM YOUR EYES. IF ONE OF THE ABOVE SITU-
ATIONS OCCURS, SEEK MEDICAL ASSISTANCE IMMEDIATELY.
PREVENT CHILDREN FROM COMING INTO CONTACT WITH DE-
TERGENT; KEEP THEM AWAY FROM THE DISHWASHER WHEN
THE DOOR IS OPEN AS IT MAY CONTAIN DETERGENT RESIDUES.
FILL THE DISHWASHER JUST BEFORE STARTING THE WASHING
CYCLE AND THEN KEEP THE DETERGENT OUT OF THE REACH
OF CHILDREN.
To open the detergent dispenser cover, lightly press the relative button (ref.
A fi g. 4-05). Add the detergent and close the cover carefully, pushing down
on the arrow (ref. B fi g. 4-05). During the washing cycle, the dispenser will be

When a program with hot prewash is selected (see program table in the
“Description of Controls” manual), extra detergent must be placed in the
cavity (ref. A fi g. 4-06).
Only use dishwasher-specifi c detergents. For optimal washing results it is
important to use a good quality detergent.
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 formulated for washing dishes by hand, because they
produce a great deal of foam and may negatively affect the operation of the
dishwasher.
Add the correct amount of detergent. An insuffi cient 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.
The market offers liquid and powder detergents with differing chemical com-
positions, which may contain phosphates, or be phosphate-free but con-
tain natural enzymes.
Detergents containing phosphates are more effective against grease and
starch at temperatures above 60°C (140°F).
Enzyme detergents, on the other hand, are also effective at lower tempera-
tures (from 40 to 55°C / from 104 to 131°F) and are more easily biodegrad-
able. With enzyme detergents it is possible to obtain at low temperatures
comparable results to those which can only be achieved at 65°C (149°F)
using traditional detergents. For the safeguarding of the environment we
recommend the use of phosphate- and chlorine-free detergents.
When using detergent tabs, place them in the cutlery basket. The dispenser
has been designed for powder or liquid detergent. As the cover does not

open completely during the washing cycle, tabs are not fully released (dis-
solved). This could generate the following problems:
- insuffi cient detergent released during the cycle and poor washing re-
sults;
- the detergent is compacted in the dispenser and is released during the
fi nal rinse cycle.
THE INTRODUCTION OF DETERGENT INTO THE RINSE AID
DISPENSER, EVEN IN LIQUID FORM, WILL DAMAGE THE DISH-
WASHER.
4.3 General warnings and recommendations
Before using the dishwasher for the fi rst time, it is advisable to read the follow-
ing 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 racks it is necessary to:
remove coarse food remains: e.g. bones, fi sh-bones, etc. which may clog
the fi lter 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 RACK.
There is no need to pre-wash the dishes under running water before loading
them into the racks since this only wastes water. Correct loading of the
dishes helps ensure optimal washing results.
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 rack 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 al-
low 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.
When using detergent tabs, take care not to place bulky pans or dishes im-
mediately underneath the detergent dispenser as otherwise the tab may fall
onto a pan and not fully dissolve.

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 wash-
ing temperatures.
Handcrafted items: these are rarely suitable for washing in a dishwasher.
The relatively high water temperatures and the detergents used may dam-
age them.
Dishes and objects in copper, tin, zinc or brass: these tend to stain.
Aluminum dishes: items made from anodized aluminum may lose their
color.
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 (see “Descrip-
tion of controls” manual).
Decorated items: the decorated objects available on the market are gener-
ally able to withstand washing in the dishwasher, although the colors may
fade after a great many washes. If in doubt as to the fastness of the col-
ors, it is advisable to wash just a few items at a time for approximately one
month.

5.5 General warnings and recommendations
for correct maintenance
Clean the fi lters under running water (at room temperature) using a stiff
brush.
When removing the fi lter, take care that there are no food residues on
it. If any residues fall into the washing pit (ref. A fi g. 5-07), they might block
hydraulic components or foul the spray arm nozzles.
It is essential to thoroughly clean the fi lters according to the above in-
structions: the dishwasher cannot function if the fi lters are clogged.
Carefully replace the fi lters in their seats, to avoid damaging the wash
pump.
A
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 unpleas-
ant odors 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 min-
utes.
Plug the power cord back into the socket.
Reconnect the water intake hose and open the tap again.
5.6 Troubleshooting minor problems
In some cases it is possible to remedy minor problems by referring to the fol-
lowing 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.
If water remains inside the dishwasher, check that:
the drain hose is not kinked;
the drain siphon is not obstructed;
the dishwasher fi lters are not clogged.
If the dishes do not come out clean, 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 soil-
ing;
all the fi lters 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).

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 deter-
gents 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 AFTER PERFORMING THE ABOVE TROUBLESHOOTING IN-
STRUCTIONS THE PROBLEM PERSISTS, CALL THE NEAREST
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE CENTRE.
WARNING: ANY OPERATIONS PERFORMED ON THE APPLI-
ANCE BY UNAUTHORIZED PERSONS ARE NOT COVERED BY

1 INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing one of our products. To install this dish-
washer correctly and safely, please read this manual carefully. The
manual is divided into sections giving you a step-by-step guide to
installation of the appliance. The texts are easy to understand and
are complete with detailed illustrations. This user-friendly manual will
provide answers to all your questions about installation of the dish-
washer.
This manual comprises the following sections:
INTRODUCTION: general information about the manual.
WARNINGS: a list of warnings concerning safety during installation.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: for the qualifi ed technician who
must carry out the installation, hook-up and testing of the appli-
ance.
Nomenclature of fi gures and tables:
The progressive number of each fi gure is shown in the bottom right-
hand corner of the relative box. An example of a progressive number
is “Fig. 4-01”, where the fi rst number (4) indicates the section to
which the fi gure belongs, while the second number (01) indicates
the progressive number of the fi gure in section 4 (Fig. 4-01 is the
fi rst fi gure in section 4). The tables are numbered in the same way,
bearing in mind that “Tab.” is used instead of “Fig.” (e.g.: Tab. 4-01
is the fi rst table in section 4). If a table occupies more than one page,
a letter is added after the progressive number (e.g.: “Tab. 4-01a”,
Tab. 4-01b”).

5.2.1.1 Connecting to the water tap
Connect the inlet hose to a threaded ¾” gas cold water tap, fi tting the supplied
fi lter (ref. A fi g. 5-04). Firmly secure the hose by tightening the relative ring
nut with your hands (ref. B fi g. 5-04); fi nish by tightening another ¼ turn
using a pair of plumbing pliers. For models fi tted with ACQUASTOP
(ref. C fi g. 5-04) the fi lter is already present in the threaded ring nut.
The dishwasher can be fi lled with water at a temperature of less than
60°C (140°F).
If the appliance is fi lled with hot water, washing times will be reduced by about
20 minutes, but effi ciency will be slightly impaired. Make the connection to the
domestic hot water tap using the same methods described for connecting the
appliance to the cold water tap.
Recommended temperature: 49°C (120°F), max. 60 °C (140°F).
Recommended water pressure: 7 -130 PSI (0.5 - 9 bar).
If the pressure is too high, fi t a pressure reducer.
A rubber hose connected to a sink spray may burst if installed on the
same pipes feeding the dishwasher. If your sink is fi tted with this ac-
cessory, remove the hose and plug the hole.
