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.).

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.
Installation instructions
9
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.

User instructions
17
Flexi Tabs
Specifically for washing with combination detergents in tablets, which
also contain salt and rinse aid (3in1) or other agents such as glass
protector, steel rinse aids, etc. (4in1, 5in1…). When this option is
selected, salt and rinse aid will not be dispensed even if the relative
compartments contain them. If the containers are empty, the lights will
remain on.
With short programs, because there is less time for them to dissolve,
tablets may fail to wash effectively and undissolved residues may be left.
Powder detergents are more suitable for these programs.
If the option is not provided, we recommend the use of conventional
products (separate detergent, salt and rinse aid), because with
conventional washing cycles, combined products might create problems
such as a white deposit, poor drying results and residues left on dishes.
For further information, refer to the detergent pack.
IMPORTANT:
when no longer required, the option must be deactivated by pressing
the relative button (the light goes out).
These products
are not suitable
for use with
excessively “hard”
water.
If the hardness level set is higher than H3, when the option is activated
the relative light flashes to indicate that the product is being used
incorrectly; the dishwasher will still work, but washing results may be
poor.
“CHILD LOCK” OPTION
By pressing the indicated buttons (3) at the same time, the controls are
locked, which is confirmed by the flashing ON/OFF (1) warning light. This

TO SAVE ON ENERGY! … AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT
• Always try to run the dishwasher fully loaded.
• 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.
ENERGY MANAGEMENT
After 5 minutes of waiting (washing cycle completed, stopped or set but
not started) the dishwasher switches to a standby state to reduce
energy consumption.
In this state, the dishwasher indicator panel (lights or display depending
on model) functions more slowly (switch-on once every 5 seconds).
REMOVING THE DISHES
At the end of the washing program, wait at least 20 minutes before
removing the dishes, to allow them to cool down. To prevent any water
droplets on the upper basket from falling on the dishes in the lower
basket, it is advisable to unload the lower basket first, and then the
upper basket.

4. Operating instructions
Once the dishwasher has been correctly installed, prepare for use as
follows:
• Adjust the water softening system (on some models only);
• Add the regenerating salt (on some models only);
• Add the rinse aid and detergent.
4.1 Using the water softening system
(on some models only)
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.
The dishwasher is factory set for water
hardness level 3 (average hardness).
When using water of medium hardness, the regenerating salt container
should be refilled after approximately 20 washing cycles. The salt
container can hold approximately 1.7 Kg of salt in grains. 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
20
• 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 SOFTENING SYSTEM
The dishwasher is equipped with a device which allows the softener
setting to be varied to suit the hardness of the mains water. The
hardness is set using the PROGRAM SELECTION BUTTON (5).
To access the setting function, hold the button down for more than 15
seconds. The WATER HARDNESS ADJUSTMENT INDICATOR LIGHT
flashes, while the SELECTED PROGRAM INDICATOR LIGHTS (6)
show the current setting. Each pressure on the button changes the
setting following the sequence in the table below:

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.

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 door.
• Rotate the container cap anticlockwise by ¼ of a turn and remove it.
• Add the rinse aid until the container is full (approximately 140 cc).
The optical level indicator on the side of the cap should be
completely obscured. Refill the rinse aid when the optical level
indicator becomes clear again, or when the rinse aid warning light
illuminates.
• Replace the cover and turn it in a clockwise direction.
• Use a cloth to remove any spillage of rinse aid which might lead to
the formation of excess foam.
ADJUSTING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER SETTING
The dishwasher is factory set for medium water hardness. However it
possible to change the setting by turning the dispenser’s selector to the
desired position: the amount of rinse aid dispensed is proportional to the
selector position.
• To adjust the rinse aid setting, rotate the dispenser cap through a
quarter turn in an anticlockwise direction and remove it.
• Then use a screwdriver to rotate the rinse aid selector to the desired
position.
• Replace the cap, turning it clockwise.
• 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 necessary to reduce the rinse aid setting.

ADDING THE DETERGENT
To open the detergent dispenser cap, lightly press
the button P. Add the detergent and close the cap
carefully.
During the washing cycle, the dispenser will be
opened automatically.
• 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. 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 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.
• The market offers liquid and powder detergents with differing chemical
compositions, which may contain phosphates, or be phosphate-free
but contain natural enzymes.
- Detergents containing phosphates are more effective against
grease and starch at temperatures above 60°C.
- Enzyme detergents, on the other hand, are also effective at lower
temperatures (from 40 to 55°C ) and are more easily
biodegradable. With enzyme detergents it is possible to obtain at
low temperatures comparable results to those which can only be
achieved at 65°C using traditional detergents.
For the safeguarding of the environment we recommend the use of
phosphate- and chlorine free detergents.

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.

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.

4.4 Using the baskets
The dishwasher has a capacity of 14 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
27
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:
CUTLERY BASKET
The basket has removable top grids into which items of cutlery should
be inserted to keep them properly spaced and allow water to pass
between them effectively. The top grids and central lid are in the bag of
accessories. The central lid functions as a lid only.
The top grids can be detached and used separately.
The cutlery should be arranged in an orderly manner inside the basket,
with the handles pointing downwards. Take care during loading to avoid
injury from the knife blades. The basket is suitable for all types of cutlery,
except those long enough to interfere with the upper spray arm. Ladles,
wooden spoons and cooking knives can be placed in the upper basket,
making sure that the knife blades do not protrude from the basket.
User instructions
28
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.
TOP CUTLERY BASKET
The basket is designed to take cutlery, placed in the spaces provided,
and long utensils, positioned lengthwise.
The “drawer” extraction system makes the basket easier to load, but it
can also be taken completely off its runners by removing the retainers
(as shown here).
Take great care to replace the retainers to ensure that the basket does
not come off the runners accidentally.
User instructions
29
UPPER BASKET
It is recommended to load the upper basket with small- or medium-sized
items such as glasses, small plates, tea or coffee cups, shallow bowls
and light objects made from heat resistant plastic. If the upper basket is
used in the lowermost position, it can also be loaded with serving dishes,
provided they are only slightly soiled.
LOADING THE UPPER BASKET
Load plates facing forward; cups, bowls etc. must always be facing
downwards. The left side of the basket can be loaded with cups and
glasses on two levels. In the centre section, plates and saucers can be
loaded vertically into the supports provided.
Loading examples:

Depending on the models, the basket may be equipped with some or all
of the following accessories:
- Supports for cups or long objects (ladles, spoons…), on the left;
can be tipped to the vertical position when not in use.
- Long-stemmed glass holder, on the left; to use, simply lift and
fix onto the hooks provided.
- Cutlery racks, on the right, designed for knives and teaspoons;
for teaspoons, pull out the sliding support. The racks can be
tipped to the vertical position when not in use.
- Fixed or movable racks in the middle. The movable supports
can be fixed vertical, resting on the bottom of the basket when
not in use, or set in the intermediate position, as required.

31
ADJUSTING THE UPPER BASKET
The height of the top basket can be adjusted to allow large dishes or
pans to be placed in the bottom basket.
The sides of the basket
must always be set
at the same height
.
• Raise the basket by pulling on the top edge (1), to the first or second
catch depending on the height required.
• To lower the basket, first release it by pulling the release lever (2).
Adjustment is also possible with the basket loaded, but in this case when
lowering the basket it should be held steady with one hand to avoid
knocking the dishes.

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 position.
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 lower spray arm, simply lift it up, pulling by the
central part.
• 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.
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.
User instructions
35
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
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 after following the above troubleshooting instructions the problem
persists, call the nearest After-Sales Centre.
