Set the water softener
The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener designed to remove minerals and salts from the water supply, which would have a detrimental or adverse effect on the operation of the appliance.
The higher the content of these minerals and salts, the harder your water is. Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, German degrees (°dH), French degrees (°TH) and mmol/l (millimol per litre - international unit for the hardness of water).
Set the water softener
12
The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water in your area. Your local Water Authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area.

Use of dishwasher salt
13
WARNING!
Only use salt specifically designed for use in dishwashers. All other types of salt not specifically designed for use in a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water softener. Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete washing programmes. This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been spilt, remaining on the bottom of the machine for any period of time, which may cause corrosion.
To fill:
1. Open the door, remove the lower basket and unscrew the cap of the salt
container by turning it anticlockwise.
2.
Pour 1 litre of water inside the container (this is necessary only before filling with salt for the first time) .
Use of rinse aid
14
3. Using the funnel provided, pour in
the salt until the container is full.
4. Replace the cap making sure that
there is no trace of salt on the screw thread or on the gasket.
5. Replace the cap tightly turning it
clockwise until it stops with a click.
Do not worry if water overflows from the unit when filling with salt, this is quite normal.
The salt indicator light on the control panel can remain illuminated for 2-6 hours after the salt has been replenished, assuming the dishwasher remains switched on. If you are using salts that take longer to dissolve then this can take longer. The function of the machine is not affected.
Use of rinse aid
WARNING!
Only use branded rinse aid for dishwashers. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances (e.g. dishwasher clean-
ing agent, liquid detergent). This would damage the appliance.
Rinse aid ensures thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying. Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse.
1. Open the container by pressing the
release button (A).
Daily use
2. Add the rinse aid in the container. The
maximum level for filling is indicated by "max".
The dispenser holds about 110 ml of rinse aid, which is sufficient for be­tween 16 and 40 dishwashing cycles, depending upon the dosage setting.
3. Ensure that the lid is closed after every
refill.
Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next wash.
Adjusting the dosage of rinse aid
According to the finish and drying results obtained, adjust the dose of rinse aid by means of the 6 position selector (position 1= minimum dosage, position 6= maxi­mum dosage).
The dose is factory set in position 4.
15
Increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on the dishes after washing.
Reduce it if there are sticky whitish streaks on the dishes or a bluish film on glassware or knife blades.
Daily use

Unloading the dishwasher
• Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks.
The dishes should therefore be allowed to cool down before removing from the appliance.
• Empty the lower basket first and then the upper one; this will avoid water drip-
ping from the upper basket onto the dishes in the lower one.
• Water may appear on the sides and the door of the dishwasher as the stainless
steel will eventually become cooler than the dishes.
CAUTION!
When the washing programme has finished, it is recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and the water tap turned off.
Care and cleaning
Cleaning the filters
The filters must be checked and cleaned from time to time. Dirty filters will degrade the washing result.
WARNING!

NEVER use the dishwasher without filters. Incorrect repositioning and fitting of the filters will produce poor washing results and may result in damage to the appliance.
Cleaning the spray arms
NEVER try to remove the spray arms.
If residues of soil have clogged the holes in the spray arms, remove them with a cocktail stick.
Care and cleaning
30
External cleaning
Clean the external surfaces of the machine and control panel with a damp soft cloth. If necessary use only neutral detergents. Never use abrasive products, scour-
ing pads or solvent (acetone, trichloroethylene etc....).
Internal cleaning
Ensure that the seals around the door, the detergent and rinse aid dispensers are cleaned regularly with a damp cloth.
We recommend every 3 months to run the wash programme for heavy soiled dishes using detergent but without dishes.

Installation instructions
Installation
WARNING!
Any electrical and/or plumbing work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician and/or plumber or competent person.
Remove all packaging before positioning the machine. If possible, position the machine next to a water tap and a drain.
Building-in
This dishwasher is designed to be fitted under a kitchen counter or work surface. It is essential that the recess dimensions in-
dicated in the illustration are followed. The height of the recess where the
dishwasher is to be installed can vary be­tween 820 and 880 mm from the floor since the dishwasher is fitted with adjustable feet (max. 60 mm).
No further openings for the venting of the dishwasher are required, but only to let the water fill and drain hose and power supply cable pass through.
Leave a space of 2 mm between the top of the dishwasher and the underside of the kitchen counter.
During all operations that involve accessibility to internal components the dishwasher has to be unplugged.
When inserting the machine, ensure that the water inlet hose, the drain hose and the supply cable are not kinked or squashed.
Adjusting the height of the dishwasher
To adjust the height proceed as follows:
Installation
1. Loosen or tighten the two front feet.
2. Loosen and remove the adjustable plinth.
3. Adjust the rear foot by turning the screw in the middle of the front kick plate
to the left or to the right. Good levelling is essential for correct closure and sealing of the door.
When the appliance is correctly levelled, the door will not catch on the levelling spacers on either side of the cabinet. If the door does not close properly, loosen or tighten the adjustable feet until the machine is perfectly level.
37
Adjusting the height of the plinth
It is important for the dishwasher to be absolutely horizontal so that the door seals properly. The adjustable feet are to be turned to the left or right until the dishwasher is horizontal. If there is a space at the bottom of the machine, this can be covered by low­ering the plinth.
Fitting the steam protection
Screw the steam protecting onto the front part of the worktop using the supplied screws.
38
Fixing to the adjacent units
Secure the dishwasher by screwing it firmly in position under the bench or to the cup­board beside it. Use the angular brackets supplied which are fitted into the slots on the top of the dishwasher (see fig.). Tighten the machine in position (upwards or side­ways) by using the screws supplied (3.5 x 16 mm). Tighten the screws so that the dishwasher cannot tip forward and cause damage when the door is open and loaded. The dishwasher must be secured to the un­derside of the worktop or to adjacent units by using the brackets supplied. Neglect to do this can cause injury or damage. Under no circumstances may holes be drilled through the sides of the dishwasher since this could damage the hydraulic com­ponents.
WARNING!
The dishwasher must be secured to the underside of the worktop or to adjacent units by using the brackets supplied. Neglect to do this can cause injury or damage. Under no circumstances may holes be drilled through the sides of the dishwasher since this could damage the hydraulic components.
Water supply connections
Connection to a cold water supply is advised. If connection is made to a hot water supply the maximum permissible temperature is 60°C. A hot water supply is not always efficient with very soiled crockery as it shortens the washing programmes a lot.
For making the connection itself, the coupling nut fitted to the machine's supply hose is designed to screw onto a 3/4" gas thread spout or to a purpose made quick­coupling tap such as the Press-block.
The water pressure must be within the limits given in the "Technical specifications". Your local Water Authority will advise you on the average mains pressure in your area.
The water inlet hose must not be kinked, crushed, or entangled when it is being connected.
The dishwasher features fill and drain hoses which can be turned either to the left or the right to suit the installation by means of the locknut.
The locknut must be correctly fitted to avoid water leaks.
(Attention! NOT all models of dishwashers have fill and drain hoses provided with locknut. In this case, this kind of facility is not possible). If the machine is connected to new pipes or pipes which have not been used for a long time, you should run the water for a few minutes before connecting the inlet hose.
DO NOT use connection hoses which have previously been used for an old appliance.
This appliance has been fitted with safety features which will prevent the water used in the appliance from returning back into the drinking water system. This appliance complies with the applicable plumbing regulations.
Water outlet hose connection
The end of the drain hose can be connected in the following ways:
1. To the sink outlet spigot, securing it to the underside of the work surface. This
will prevent waste water from the sink running into the machine.
2. To a stand pipe provided with vent-hole, minimum internal diameter 4 cm.
The waste connection must be at a height of between 30 cm (minimum) and 100 cm (maximum) from the bottom of the dishwasher.
The drain hose can face either to the right or left of the dishwasher.
Ensure the hose is not bent or squashed as this could prevent or slow down the discharge of water.
The sink plug must not be in place when the machine is draining as this could cause the water to syphon back into the machine.
If you use a drain hose extension it must be no longer than 2 metres and its internal diameter must be no smaller than the diameter of the hose provided.
Likewise the internal diameter of the couplings used for connections to the waste outlet must be no smaller than the diameter of the hose provided.
39
Electrical connection
40
When connecting the drain hose to an under sink trap spigot, the entire plastic mem- brane (A) must be removed. Failure to re­move all the membrane will result in food particles building up over time eventually blocking the dishwasher drain hose spigot.
Our appliances are supplied with a security device to protect against the return of dirty water back into the machine. If the spigot of your sink has a "no return valve" incorporated this can prevent the correct draining of your dishwasher. We therefore advise you to remove it.
To avoid water leakage after installation make sure that the water couplings are tight.
Electrical connection
WARNING!
Safety standards require the appliance to be earthed. Prior to using the appliance for the first time, ensure that the rated voltage and
type of supply on the rating plate match that of the supply where the appliance is to be installed.
The fuse rating is also to be found on the rating plate. Always plug the mains plug into a correctly installed shockproof socket. Multi-way
plugs, connectors and extension cables must not be used. This could constitute a fire hazard through overheating. If necessary, have the domestic wiring system socket replaced. In case that the
electrical cable has to be replaced, contact your local Service Force centre. The plug must be accessible after the appliance has been installed. Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the cable. Always pull the plug. The manufacturer accepts no liability for failure to observe the above safety pre-
cautions.
