SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

There are certain basic safety rules
which are valid for any domestic
appliance.

Installation

■ Make sure that the plug fitted to the
machine is compatible with the power
supply socket. If it is not, get a suitably
qualified person to fit the correct type,
and to make sure that the cables to the
mains socket are able to cope with the
power rating of the appliance.

■ Ensure that the dishwasher does not
crush power cables.

■ In general it is not advisable to use
adaptors, multiple plugs and/or extension
cables.

■ Should it be necessary to replace the
supply cord, call the After Sales Service
Centre.

Safety

■ Never touch the appliance when your
hands or feet are wet or damp.

■ Do not use when your feet are bare.

■ Do not remove the plug from the mains

supply socket by pulling the mains cable
or the machine itself.

■ Do not leave the appliance exposed to
the elements (rain, sun etc).

■ Do not let children (or others incapable
of operating it) use the machine without
supervision.

■ Water left in the machine or on the
dishes at the end of the wash programme
should not be swallowed.

■ The door should not be left in the open
position since this could present a potential
hazard ( es. tripping ).

■ Leaning or sitting on the open door of
the dishwasher could cause it to tip over.

WARNING !
Knives and other utensils with sharp
points must be loaded in the basket
with their points down or placed in a
horizontal position.

Daily use

■ This appliance is be designed for domestic
use only.

■ The dishwasher is designed for normal
kitchen utensils.
Objects that have been contamined by
petrol, paint, traces of steel or iron,
corrosive chemicals, acids or alkalis
must not be washed in the dishwasher.

■ If there is a water softening device installed
in the home there is no need to add
salt to the water softener fitted in the
dishwasher.

■ Cutlery is washed best if it is placed in
the basket with the handles downwards.

■ If the appliance breaks down or stops
working properly, switch it of f, turn of f the
water supply and do not tamper with it.
Repair work should only be carried out
by an approved service agent and only
genuine spare parts should be fitted. Any
failure to follow the above advice may
have serious consequences for the safety
of the appliance.

Disposal

■ The dishwasher has been made from
materials which can be recycled so that it
can be disposed of in an environmentally
friendly way.

■ If you wish to dispose of an old dishwasher
be careful to remove the door to
eliminate the risk of children becoming
trapped inside it.

Connecting the outlet hose

■ The outlet hose should disharge into a
standpipe, making sure that there are no
kinks (fig. 4).

■ The standpipe must be at least 40 cm
above floor level and it must have an
internal diameter of at least 4 cm.

■ It is advisable to fit an anti-odour air trap
(fig. 4X).

■ If necessary the outlet hose can be
extended up to 2,5 m, provided that it is
kept at a maximum height of 85 cm
above floor level. The extension pipe is
available from the After Sales Service
Centre.

■ The hose can be hooked over the side of
the sink, but it must not be immersed in
water, in order to prevent water from
being syphoned back to the machine
when this is in operation (fig. 4Y).

■ When installing the appliance under a
worktop the hose pipe clamp must be
attached to the wall in the highest possible
position under the worktop (fig. 4Z).

■ Check that there are no kinks in the inlet
and outlet hoses.

Opening the door

Put your hand into the recess and pull.
If the machine comes open while it is working,
an electrical safety device automatically
switches everything off.

IMPORTANT
For the machine to work properly,
the door should not be opened while
it is in operation.

Closing the door

Place the baskets in the machine.
Make sure that both the spray arms are
free to rotate and are not obstructed by
cutlery, crockery or pans. Close the door,
pressing on it to make sure it is firmly shut.

Water connection

IMPORTANT
The appliance must be connected to
the water mains using new hose-sets.
The old hose-sets should not be reused.

■ The inlet and drain hoses can be directed
to left or right.

IMPORTANT
The dishwasher can be connected to
either cold or hot water, as long as it
is no hotter than 60 °C.

■ Water pressure must be between
0,08 MPa and 0,8 MPa. If the pressure is
below the minimum consult our service
department for advice.

■ The inlet hose must be connected to a
tap so that the water supply can be cut
off when the machine is not in use

(fig. 1 B).

■ The dishwasher is fitted with 3/4" threaded
connector (fig. 2).

■ Connect inlet hose “A” to water tap “B”
with a 3/4" attachment making sure that
it has been properly tightened.

■ If it is necessary, the inlet pipe can be
lengthened up to 2,5 m. The extension
pipe is available from the After Sales
Service Centre.

■ If limescale deposits or sand are present
in the water, it is advisable to obtain the
appropriate filter, art. 9226085, from the
After Sales Service Centre (fig. 3). The
filter “D” must be inserted between the tap
“B” and the inlet hose “A”, remembering
to fit the washer “C”.

■ If the dishwasher is connected to new
pipes or to pipes which have not been in
use for a long time run water through for
a few minutes before connecting the
inlet hose. In this way no deposits of
sand or rust will clog up the water inflow
filter.

Important

If, after mounting the wooden panel, it is
necessary to ship the machine for final
installation, we recommend leaving it in its
original packaging materials.
For this reason the package was design to
allow the panel to be mounted without
having to unpack the machine completely.
Follow figures 8a-f sequentially.

A) Cut the polythene with a Knife (fig. 8a).
B) Lift the cardboard flap up and remove

the wooden slat (fig. 8b).

C) To open the dishwasher remove the

polystyrene from the sides (fig. 8c).

D) Fix the décor panel to the matching

kitchen door (fig. 5-6), then while the
dishwasher door is in the open
position attach it to the machine using
the 6 screw 3.5 x 13 mm (fig. 8d).

E) Replace the cardboard and film in its

original position (fig. 8e).

F) Re–seal the packaging (fig. 8f).

Adaptation of the base

Sometime, in order to allow the door
rotation, a space must be cut out in the
base as indicated in the figure 9.

Proceed as follows:

■ Open slightly the dishwasher door, let
the covering touch the base and mark its
lower edge on the base with a pencil; cut
out the interfering part.
