SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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

■ 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.

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

INSTALLATION

(Technical notes)

IMPORTANT
When the appliance is located on a
carpet floor, attention must be paid to
ensure that there is no obstruction to
the bottom vents.

Make sure that the plug on the
appliance remains accessible after
installation.

Electrical connection

Plug your dishwasher into the power
socket.

If the plug we supply does not fit :

■ CUT IT OFF AND DESTROY IT!

You can't use it on other appliances, and
the exposed wires could be dangerous if
anyone plugged it in.

■ Fit a suitable plug, as follows:

■ 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.

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.

1

2

■ 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.

6

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.

4

■ 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 SOFTENER UNIT

Depending on the source of the supply,
water contains varying amounts of limestone
and minerals which are deposited on the
dishes leaving whitish stains and marks.
The higher the level of these minerals
present in the water, the harder the water is.
The dishwasher is fitted with a water
softener unit which, through the use of
special regenerating salt, supplies
softened water for washing the dishes.
The degree of hardness of your water can
be obtained from your water supply
company.

Regulating the water softener

The softener unit can treat water with a
hardness of up to 90°fH (French grading)
or 50°dH (German grading) through 6
different settings.

The table below lists different degrees of
water hardness with the corresponding
setting for the softener unit.

lights will come on to indicate the
current water softener setting level.

3. Press the same button again to select
the required water softener level: each
