The water connection pipe is located on the back of the dishwasher:
a
Connect the pipe to the
water inlet, tighten the
connection nut and
make sure it is securely
connected to the
appliance.
a
b
The hose must run
between the wall and
the bottom space at
the back of the
dishwasher (b1) so
that it is not squashed
or overstretched.

There should be a fixed
water outlet drain at a
distance of between 25 and
100 cm from the floor. Make
sure that the outlet pipe is
not too rigid, bent or
squashed.
IMPORTANT
It is very important for the bend pipe of the outlet hose is located securely in water outlet
so that it cannot disconnet. The operating water pressure (minimum and maximum) must
be between 0,5-10 bar (0,05-1 MPa).

If your dishwasher has a hot
water inlet, connect the pipe
to the hot water tap. In this
case, the maximum
temperature must not
exceed 60ºC. Bear in
mind that this type of water
supply may affect the
washing and drying
capacity of the appliance.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
2
Please refer to the specification label on the top edge of the door before making the electrical
connections. Make sure that the power voltage connected to the plug socket is as shown
on the label.
It is very important for
the dishwasher to be
connected to an earthed plug
socket. The electrical
installation, plug, socket,
fuses or circuit breaker and
meter must be capable of the
maximum power shown on
the specifications label. If the
power cable is damaged, it
must be replaced exclusively
by the manufacturers,
aftersales service (TAS) or
authorised personnel. If the
appliance is to be
recessmounted and
integrated, the plug must be
accessible after installation.
LEVELLING AND POSITIONING
3
LEVELLING
It is important for the dishwasher to rest firmly on the floor, in a perfectly upright position. It should
then be levelled to rectify the effect of any unevenness of the floor.
Use a spirit level.
IMPORTANT
The specifications label is on the top edge of the interior
of the door. This label must never be removed, since it
provides information about the exact model of the
dishwasher, required power supply, serial number and
warranty.

DISHWASHWER
USING THE APPLIANCE - A FEW PRACTICAL TIPS
WATER HARDNESS, SALT, RINSE-AID AND DETERGENT
1
Water hardness adjustment. Water contains scale. The more scale, the harder the
water. To prevent the scale in the water from damaging the dishwasher, it is equipped
with a descaler to reduce the scale and leave it perfectly clean for washing. The descaler
uses salt to function.
Before starting up the dishwasher, you will need to know the water hardness in
your area. You can find this out by either:
Consulting the local Water Board,
1º
consulting the T.A.S. (Technical Assistance Service), or
2º
using the Aquadur strip included in the accessories bag, following the instructions
3º
below.
To find out the water hardness:
a
Place the strip in a glass of water
for one second, and then take it
out.
b
Shake it and wait for one minute.
c
The strip will show the water
hardness. Check the result of the
test against the table below. You
will probably need to adjust your
dishwasher.
If no salt needs to be added to your dishwasher, go straight on to the "rinse aid" section.

HF: Water hardness (French system) DH: Water hardness (German system).
Controlling the salt level
Depending on the model,
dishwashers will have a
manual or electronic salt
level control.
MANUAL REGULATION
If there is a salt regulator like
the one shown in the
photographs (Mod. A-B) inside
your dishwasher on the righthand side, turn it to the
number that corresponds to
the hardness of the water in
your area (see table).
To turn it to the correct position,
use a coin (Mod. A) or a
screwdriver (Mod. B).
Where to put the salt
The dishwasher has a salt
container in the bottom of
the tub.
Important: use dishwasher
salt only.
This simple adjustment of your dishwasher is vital
for its correct functioning. Do not ignore it.
REGULATOR Model A
REGULATOR Model B
English
The first time you fill the salt
container, you must:
Pour in the salt but do
a
not fill the container to
the top.
b
Top it up with water.
c
Stir with a spoon.
d
Close the lid tight and
clean the salt around
the container.
When the salt container
needs filling, you should
always do it before a wash
and not afterwards.
RESERVOIR A SEL
b
d
a
c
29
When does the salt need
refilling?
A pilot light will come on to
show when more salt needs
to be added.
PILOT LIGHT
IMPORTANT
You should not use
salt if your
dishwasher does not
need it. In this case,
the pilot light will
remain on at all times.
Important:
If your dishwasher does not have a display or pilot light, you should periodically refill the
salt that has been used (about every 20 washes for medium-hard water).
The rinse-aid helps drying and prevents drops of water from clinging to utensils after washing.
The rinse-aid container is located on the inside of the door, next to the detergent container.
It has a 4-position dispenser
for adjusting the amount of
rinse-aid to the water quality
(the dispenser is set at position
2 at the factory).
If you notice drops of water on
utensils, increase the position
of the rinse-aid dispenser. If the
utensils have white or sticky
RINSE-AID CONTAINER
DISPENSER
lines, lower the position.
Once the level of the
dispenser has been set, fill
a
the container to the top,
but do not overfill it. If this
occurs, clean the spillage
with a cloth.
a
IMPORTANT
A greater amount of
rinse-aid does not
necessarily mean
better results. In fact,
too much rinse-aid can
lead to water marks.
When do I need to add rinse-aid?
The dishwasher tells you when you need
to add more rinse-aid. Depending on the
model, there are two types of indicator:
window or pilot light.
Window. Transparent window next to
the rinse-aid container lid. If the bottom
of the window is a light colour, you need
to add rinse-aid. If it is dark, there is
sufficient rinse-aid in the container.
Pilot light on the front of the dishwasher
indicates when the rinse-aid container
needs to be topped up.

Detergent
The detergent is poured into a tank on the inside of the door, beside the rinse aid tank.

Some programmes
also require part of the

powder and liquid form.
You can consult the amount
of detergent needed on the
programme chart.
English
a
b
If you use detergent tablets instead of traditional products (granulated salt, powder detergent,
liquid rinse aid), you may notice a loss of efficiency, particularly in the case of short programmes
and/or programmes with low wash temperatures.
If you notice any performance problems with your dishwasher, e.g. there is a white film on the tank
or on the dishes, an accumulation of scale or poor drying efficiency, you should go back to using
traditional products.
We would remind you that if you go back to using traditional granulated salt, you will need to run a
few programmes before the dishwasher performs perfectly again, and there may still be some residue
left on the tank and dishes.
If you wish to use combined tablet products, read the instructions and indications for use on the
packet carefully.
In case of doubt, consult the cleaning product manufacturer.
We provide no guarantee for any complaints directly related to the use of this type of products.

TABLEWARE AND UTENSILS. TYPES AND POSITIONING
2
Types of dishes
Not all utensils can be washed in a dishwasher. Do not attempt to wash items made of wood or earthenware
or plastic that is not heat resistant.
Stainless steel cutlery can be washed easily; however, ensure that silver cutlery does not come into contact
as they may stain.
Items made of aluminium may fade in time.
Patterns on decorated porcelain may wear off if the quality is not good. Check with the manufacturer of China.
Only wash glasses that are dishwasher-compatible.
Cut glass should not be washed in dishwasher.
Please make sure your utensils are dishwasher-compatible.
Placing the utensils in
the dishwasher
It is very important to place
the utensils correctly in the
racks to guarantee a
perfect wash.
The lower rack is for
a
dirtier, more resistant
items: pans, oven
dishes and plates.
Make sure there is
sufficient space
between each one for
the jet of water. Pots
must be placed upside
down.
If your model has fold-
b
down racks, you can
use them in vertical
position for washing
plates or in horizontal
position for large items
such as saucepans

TROUBLESHOOTING
If you find a problem when
using your dishwasher, you
will probably be able to
solve it by consulting the
following section.
TECHNICAL OR FUNCTIONAL PROBLEMS
1
• Why won’t the dishwasher start?
This may be because:
– There is no power.
– It isn’t plugged in correctly.
– The power fuses have blown.
– The dishwasher is not connected to the mains.
– You haven’t pressed the On/Off button (the pilot light for this button must be on continuously).
– The dishwasher door is not closed correctly.
– You have not pressed the Start button.
• The dishwasher starts up but no water comes into the appliance
This may be because:

FURTHER INFORMATION
INFORMATION FOR THE CORRECT DISPOSAL OF ELECTRICAL
AND ELECTRONIC APPLIANCES
When the appliance reaches the end of its service life, you should not dispose of it with
the general domestic waste.
It can be taken free of charge to the local administrations’ specific selective collection
centres, or to distributors who provide this service.
Separating a domestic appliance before disposing of it means you will prevent possible
negative consequences for the environment and health which may be given rise to by
incorrect disposal, and it means the materials making it up can be treated and recycled,
obtaining important savings on energy and resources.
To remind you that you must collaborate with a selective collection scheme,
there is a symbol on the product warning you not to dispose of it in traditional
refuse containers.
For further information, contact your local authority or the shop where you bought the
product.
