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.
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.

required).
The correct amount of detergent has been added to the
dispenser.
The baskets have been correctly loaded.
The spray arms are able to rotate freely and without
obstruction.

empty, without dishes. It is recommended to run the program every 2-3
months, using special dishwasher cleaners. The light flashes during
operation. At the end of the cycle it remains on and cycle lights 4 and 5
flash.
The display (if available) shows “End”.
TO SAVE ON ENERGY! … AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT
Always use the dishwasher with a full load.
Load the dishwasher as indicated in the instructions manual. If the
dishwasher is loaded incorrectly, it may lead to poor results as well
as waste water, energy and detergent.
Do not wash dishes under running water before placing them in the
dishwasher. It would just waste water and energy.
Use the washing program that is most appropriate for each type of
load.
If available, connect the dishwasher to a hot water supply up to 60°C.
If the manufacturer's instructions and recommendations are followed,
washing the same number of similarly soiled dishes in a dishwasher
consumes less water and energy than if they were washed by hand.

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
detergent directly onto 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
running
of the program.
ENERGY MANAGEMENT
After 5 minutes (washing cycle completed, stopped or set but not started)
the dishwasher switches off.
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.

(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 salt refill 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.
The dishwasher salt prevents the
formation of scale deposits.
Remove the lower basket.
Unscrew the cap of the salt container
by turning it anticlockwise.
When using the dishwasher for the
first time, fill the container with a litre of water.
Pour salt (approx. 1 kg) into the container using the funnel provided
with the dishwasher.
When finished, remove any salt residues before screwing the cap
back on.

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 this case warranty cover will be voided.
Only use regeneration salt specifically for domestic
dishwashers. Do not use table salt, since it contains insoluble
substances that could damage the water softener system.
After having added salt, run a wash cycle to remove any excess salt.
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.

4.3 Adding the rinse aid
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.
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.
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.

4.4 Adjusting the amount of rinse aid
The dishwasher must be switched on and the door open.
Press and hold the delay start button until “b” appears on the
display followed by the current setting (e.g. b3).
Press the delay start button once or several times to select the
required hardness (from b0 to b5) according to 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.

4.5 Adding detergent
Open the detergent dispenser cover by lightly pressing the button P.
Add the detergent or tablet.
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 or tablet if the dispenser is dry.
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
25
When a program with hot prewash is selected (see program table),
extra detergent must be placed in the cavity on the lid of the detergent
dispenser.
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.
The introduction of detergent into the rinse aid dispenser, even in
liquid form, will damage the dishwasher.
4.6 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.

26
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 washes.
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.

4.7 Using the baskets
The dishwasher has a capacity of 14 place-settings.
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 fold down supports
for plates in 2 or 4 sections.

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
such as glasses, small plates and saucers, tea or coffee cups, shallow
bowls and light objects. If the upper basket is used in the lowest position,
it can also be loaded with serving dishes, provided they are only lightly
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.

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.

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 block 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.
User instructions
37
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;
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
38
If the dishes fail to dry or remain dull, check that:
there is rinse aid inside the rinse aid 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.
