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 the appropriate Allen key to regulate
the 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.
- To build in the dishwasher, the special kit must be purchased from
authorised dealers or the After-Sales Service.
- The tops of free-standing dishwashers can be removed to allow them to
be installed underneath a worktop. This procedure must be carried
out by authorised staff.

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.

1/2 LOAD FLEXI ZONE
Ideal if just a few dishes need to be washed, allowing energy savings. The
dishes should be placed in both baskets and less detergent should be
placed in the detergent dispenser compared to the amount used for a full
load.
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.
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

END OF PROGRAM and SWITCHING OFF
At the end of the program, the dishwasher emits a beep and "End"
flashes on the front display alternating with the name of the program
which has just finished. The dishwasher switches off after about 5
minutes
to save electricity.
The ON/OFF button has to be pressed to switch it back on.
REMOVING THE DISHES
At the end of the wash program, wait at least 20 minutes before removing
the dishes, to allow them to cool. To ensure that any drops of water left in
the top basket cannot drip onto the dishes still in the lower basket, it is
best
always to empty the lower basket first, followed by the upper basket.

4. Operating instructions
Once the dishwasher has been correctly installed, prepare it for use as
follows:
Adjust the water softening system (in some models only)
Add salt (in some models only)
Add rinse aid and detergent
4.1 Using the water softening system
(in some models only)
The quantity of lime in the water (which
indicates its hardness) causes whitish
marks on dry dishes, which also tend to
lose their shine over time. The dishwasher
is equipped with an automatic water
softener which removes the substances
that cause hardness from the water with
the aid of a special regenerating salt.
When using water of medium hardness, the salt container should be
refilled after approximately 20 wash cycles. The salt container can hold
approximately 1 kg of salt 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
enter the salt container, as this would compromise the operation of
the regeneration system. In this case warranty cover will be forfeited.
Only use salt specially formulated for domestic dishwashers. If using
salt tablets, do not fill the container completely.
SALT
User instructions
22
Do not use table salt, as it contains insoluble substances which, over
time, may damage the water softening system.
The salt container should be refilled when necessary before starting
the wash program. This way, the excess saline solution will be
immediately removed by the water; 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 SOFTENER (in some models only)
(available for all programs except the soak program)
The dishwasher is equipped with an electronic control system which
allows the softener setting to be varied to suit the hardness of the water.
To set the softener, proceed as follows.
To access the programming environment it is necessary that the dishwasher
is switched on and the door is open, at this point you must:
press the PROGRAM DELAY button until the H symbol appears
on the display, followed by the number currently set (e.g. H3)
press the PROGRAM DELAY button the number of times
needed to select the right setting level for the hardness of the water
(H0, H1, H2, H3, H4, H5);
N.B.: after few seconds the appliance exits the parameter setting menu
automatically.

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
24
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.
User instructions
25
ADJUSTING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER MODE
To access the programming environment it is necessary that the dishwasher
is switched on and the door is open, at this point you must:
press the PROGRAM DELAY button until the b symbol appears
on the display, followed by the number currently set (e.g. b3)
Then press the PROGRAM DELAY button button several times
to select the required dosage according to the following table:
RINSE AID ADJUSTMENT TABLE
0 – not
dispensed
b0 All indicator lights off
Minimum. 2 ml b1 One indicator light on
3 ml b2 Two indicator lights on
4 ml b3 Three indicator lights on
5 ml b4 Four indicator lights on
Maximum. 6 ml b5 Five indicator lights on
Default settings: b4 - 5 ml
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.
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.
User instructions
26
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
27
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
28
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 15 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.
Depending on the models, the basket may be equipped with some or all
of the following accessories:
Plate racks, which can be laid flat when not in use (e.g. to accommodate
pans, bowls, etc.). To stow the racks flat, pull them upward and turn
them towards the inside of the basket.
Anti-drip inserts which improve the
drying of dishes. They may be
supplied fitted on the basket or in
the accessories bag; in this case, to
use them, simply fit them into place
as shown.

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.

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.

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.
User instructions
43
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.
