Setting 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).
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.
The water softener must be set in both ways: manually, using the water hardness dial and
electronically.

Use of dishwasher salt
Use of salt
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
10
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 container will require topping up periodically.
You are reminded of this by a displayed message REFILL SALT .
This occurs only at the start and at the end of the washing programme; during the running
of the programme the indication for salt refilling is not active.
The refilling salt message can remain visible 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 cleaning 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.
The rinse aid container will require topping up periodically.
You are reminded of this by a displayed message REFILL RINSE AID .
This occurs only at the start and at the end of the washing programme; during the running
of the programme the indication for rinse aid refilling is not active.
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.
11
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
• Check if it's necessary to refill with dishwasher salt or rinse aid.
• Load cutlery and dishes into the dishwasher.
• Fill with dishwasher detergent.
• Select a wash programme suitable for the cutlery and dishes.
• Start the wash programme.
Loading cutlery and dishes
12
Loading cutlery and dishes
Sponges, household cloths and any object that can absorb water may not be washed in the
dishwasher.
• Before loading the dishes, you should:
– Remove all left over food and debris.
– Soften remnants of burnt food in pans
• When loading the dishes and cutlery, please note:
– Dishes and cutlery must not impede the rotation of the spray arms.
– Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans, etc. with the opening downwards so
that water cannot collect in the container or a deep base.
– Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another, or cover each other.
– To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch.
– Lay small objects in the cutlery basket.
• Plastic items and pans with non stick coatings have a tendency to retain water drops;
these items will not dry as well as porcelain and steel items.
• Light items (plastic bowls etc.) must be loaded in the upper basket and arranged so they
do not move.
For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery and dishes
are not suitable: are of limited suitability:
• Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or motherof-pearls handles.

• Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it
is specially marked as being dishwasher-safe
by the manufacturer.
• Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed
frequently.
• Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency
to discolour during washing: Residues, e.g.
egg white, egg yolk and mustard often cause
discolouring and staining on silver. Therefore
always clean left-overs from silver immediately, if it is not to be washed straight after
use.

place.
Detergent tablets
Detergent tablets from different manufactures dissolve at different rates. For this reason,
some detergent tablets do not attain their full
cleaning power during short washing programmes. Therefore, please use long washing
programmes when using detergent tablets, to
ensure the complete removal of detergent residuals.

– Leave the door ajar and wait a few minutes before removing the dishes; in this way
they will be cooler and the drying will be improved
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 dripping 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.
A displayed message will periodically appear to remind you to check and if necessary clean
the filters.
WARNING!
Before cleaning the filters ensure that the machine is switched off.
1. Open the door, remove the lower basket.
Care and cleaning

2. The dishwasher filter system comprises a
coarse filter ( A ), a microfilter ( B ) and a
flat filter. Unlock the filter system using
the handle on the microfilter, and remove
the filter system.
3. Turn the handle about 1/4 a turn anticlockwise and remove the filter system.
4.
Take hold of the coarse filter ( A ) by the
handle with the hole and remove from the
microfilter ( B ).
5. Clean all filters thoroughly under running
water.
6. Remove the flat filter from the base of the
washing compartment and clean both
faces thoroughly.
7. Put the flat filter back in the base of the
washing compartment and ensure that it
fits perfectly.
8.
Place the coarse filter ( A ) in the microfilter ( B ) and press together.
9. Put the filter combination in place and
lock by turning the handle clockwise to the
stop. During this process ensure that the
flat filter does not protrude above the base
of the washing compartment.
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.
What to do if…
If residues of soil have clogged the holes in the spray arms, remove them with a cocktail
stick.
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, scouring 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.
Prolonged periods of non-operation
If you are not using the machine for any prolonged period of time you are advised to:
1. Unplug the appliance and then turn off the water.
2. Leave the door ajar to prevent the formation of any unpleasant smells.
3. Leave the inside of the machine clean.
Frost precautions
Avoid placing the machine in a location where the temperature is below 0°C. If this is
unavoidable, empty the machine, close the appliance door, disconnect the water inlet pipe
and empty it.
25
Moving the machine
If you have to move the machine (moving house etc....):
1. Unplug it.
2. Turn the water tap off.
3. Remove the water inlet and discharge hoses.
4. Pull the machine out together with the hoses.
Avoid over tilting the machine during transportation.
What to do if…

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.
Water connection
28
Remove all packaging before positioning the machine.
If possible, position the machine next to a water tap and a drain.
This dishwasher is designed to be fitted under a kitchen counter or work surface.
Attention! Carefully follow the instructions on the enclosed template for building in the
dishwasher and fitting the furniture panel.
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.
The dishwasher incorporates adjustable feet to allow the adjustment of the height.
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.
Fixing to the adjacent units
The dishwasher must be secured against tilting.
Therefore make sure that the counter it is fixed under, is suitably secured to a fixed structure
(adjacent kitchen unites, cabinets, wall).
Levelling
Good levelling is essential for correct closure and sealing of the door. When the appliance
is correctly levelled, the door will not catch on either side of the cabinet. If the door does
not close correctly, loosen or tighten the adjustable feet until the machine is perfectly level.
Water connection
Water supply connections
This appliance can be connected to either a hot (max. 60°) or cold water supply.
With a hot water supply you can have a significant reduction of energy consumption. This
however, depends on how the hot water is produced. (We suggest alternative sources of
energy that are more environmentally friendly as e.g. solar or photovoltaic panels and
aeolian).
For making the connection itself, the coupling nut fitted to the machine's supply hose is
designed to screw onto a 3/4" thread spout or to a purpose made quick-coupling 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.
Water connection
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 inlet hose with safety valve
After connecting the double-walled water inlet hose, the safety valve is next to the tap.
Therefore the water inlet hose is only under pressure while the water is running. If the
water inlet hose starts to leak during this operation, the safety valve cuts off the running
water.
Please take care when installing the water inlet hose:
• The electrical cable for the safety valve is in the double-walled water inlet hose. Do not
immerse the water inlet hose or the safety valve in water.
• If water inlet hose or the safety valve is damaged, remove the mains plug immediately.
• A water inlet hose with safety valve must only be replaced by a specialist or by the Service
Force Centre.
WARNING!
Warning! Dangerous voltage.
29
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.
