		by children younger than 8 years, people
		with reduced physical, sensory or mental
		capacities, or inexperienced people
		who are not familiar with the product,
		unless they are given close supervision
		or instructions on how to use it safely and
		are made aware by a responsible person
		of the dangers its use might entail.
	• Children must not play with the appliance.
	• It is the user's responsibility to clean and
		maintain the appliance. Children should
		never clean or maintain it unless they are
		given supervision.
	• The appliance was designed for domestic
		use inside the home and is not intended
		for commercial or industrial use.
	• The appliance must be used to wash
		domestic crockery in accordance with the
		instructions in this manual.
	• The appliance must not be installed
		outdoors, even in covered areas. It is
		extremely dangerous to leave the machine
		exposed to rain and storms.
	• Do not touch the appliance when barefoot.
	• When unplugging the appliance always
		pull the plug from the mains socket. Do

not pull on the cable.

• The water supply tap must be shut off and the plug should be removed from the electrical socket at the end of every cycle and before cleaning the appliance or carrying out any maintenance work.

• The maximum number of place settings is shown in the product sheet.

• If the appliance breaks down, do not under any circumstances touch the internal parts in an attempt to perform the repair work yourself.

• Do not lean or sit on the open door: this may cause the appliance to overturn.

• The door should not be left open as it may create a dangerous obstacle.

• WARNING: Some dishwasher detergents are strongly alkaline. They can be extremely dangerous if swallowed. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes and keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open. Check that the detergent receptacle is empty after completion of the wash cycle.

• The packaging material should not be used as a toy.

• Knives and other utensils with sharp edges must be placed either with the points/blades facing downwards in the cutlery basket or horizontally on the tip-up compartments or in the tray/third basket, if available.

Disposal

• To dispose of any packaging materials, follow local legislation so that the packagings may be reused.

• The European Directive 2012/19/EU relating to Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states that household appliances should not be disposed of using the normal solid urban waste cycle.

Exhausted appliances should be collected separately in order to optimise the cost of reusing and recycling the materials inside the machine, while preventing potential damage to the atmosphere and public health. The crossed-out dustbin symbol shown on all products reminds the owners of their obligations regarding separated waste collection.

For further information relating to the correct disposal of household appliances, owners may contact the relevant public authority or the local appliance dealer.

	Saving energy and respecting the
			EN
	environment

Saving water and energy

• Only begin a wash cycle when the dishwasher is full. While waiting for the dishwasher to be filled, prevent unpleasant odours with the Soak cycle (if available, see

Wash Cycles).

• Select a wash cycle that is suited to the type of crockery and to the soil level using the Table of Wash Cycles:

- For dishes with a normal soil level, use the Eco wash cycle, which guarantees low energy and water consumption levels.

- If the load is smaller than usual activate

the Half Load option (see Special wash cycles

and options, if available).

• If your electricity supply contract gives details of electricity-saving time bands, run the wash cycles when electricity prices are lower. The Delayed Start option can help you organise the wash cycles accordingly

(see Special wash cycles and options, if available).

Installation

If the appliance must be moved at any time, keep it in an upright position; if absolutely necessary, it may be tilted onto its back.

Connecting the water supply

Adaptation of the water supply for installation should only be performed by a qualified technician.

The water inlet and outlet hoses may be positioned towards the right or the left in order to achieve the best possible installation.

Make sure the dishwasher does not bend or squash the hoses.

Connecting the water inlet hose

•To a 3/4” gas cold or hot water connection point (max. 60°C).

•Run the water until it is perfectly clear.

•Screw the inlet hose tightly into position and turn off the tap.

If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialist store or an authorised technician (see Assistance).

The water pressure must be within the values indicated in the Technical Data table - otherwise the dishwasher may be function properly.

Make sure the hose is not bent or compressed.

Connecting the water outlet hose

Connect the outlet hose to a drain duct with a minimum diameter of 2 cm. (A)

The outlet hose connection must be at a height ranging from 40 to 80 cm from the floor or surface where the dishwasher rests.

MAX 80 cm

MIN 40 cm

Before connecting the water outlet hose to the sink drain, remove the plastic plug (B).

Anti-flooding protection

To ensure floods do not occur, the dishwasher:

- is provided with a special system which blocks the water supply in the event of anomalies or leaks from inside the appliance.

Some models are also equipped with the supplementary safety device New Acqua Stop*, which guarantees antiflooding protection even in the event of a supply hose rupture.

WARNING: HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE!		EN

Under no circumstances should the water inlet hose be cut as it contains live electrical parts.

Electrical connection

Before inserting the plug into the electrical socket, make sure that:

•The socket is earthed and complies with current regulations;

•the socket can withstand the maximum load of the appliance as shown on the data plate located on the inside of the door

(see chapter Description of the appliance);

•The power supply voltage falls within the values indicated on the data plate on the inside of the door.

•The socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance.

If this is not the case, ask an authorised technician to replace the plug (see Assistance). Do not use extension cables or multiple sockets.

Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply cable and the electrical socket should be easily accessible.

The cable should not be bent or compressed.

If the power supply cable is damaged, have it replaced by the manufacturer or its authorised Technical Assistance Service in order to prevent all potential hazards. (See Assistance)

The Company shall not be held responsible for any incidents, if these regulations are not observed.

Positioning and levelling

1.Position the dishwasher on a level sturdy floor. If the floor is uneven, the front feet of the appliance may be adjusted until it reaches a horizontal position. If the appliance is levelled correctly, it will be more stable and much less likely to move or cause vibrations and noise while it is operating.

2.Before recessing the dishwasher, stick the adhesive transparent strip* under the wooden shelf in order to protect it from any condensation which may form.

3.Place the dishwasher so that its sides or back panel are in contact with the adjacent cabinets or the wall. This appliance

can also be recessed under a single worktop* (see the Assembly instruction sheet).

4*. To adjust the height of the rear foot, turn the red hexagonal bushing on the lower central part at the front of the dishwasher using a hexagonal spanner with an opening of 8 mm. Turn the spanner in a clockwise direction to increase the height and in an anticlockwise direction to decrease it. (see Building-in instruction sheet attached to the documentation)

* Only available in selected models.
