Installation
en
Positioning the appliance
Positioning the appliance in the desired location. The back should rest against the wall behind it, and the
sides, along the adjacent cabinets or wall. The dishwasher is equipped with water supply and drain
hoses that can be positioned to the right or the left to facilitate proper installation.
Levelling the appliance
Once the appliance is positioned, adjust the feet (screwing them in or out) to adjust the dishwasher,
making it level. In any case, the appliance should not be inclined more than 2˚. If the appliance is level,
it will help ensure proper performance.
Cold water connection
Connect the water supply hose to a threaded 3/4 (gas)
connector, making sure that it is fastened tightly in place (see
fig.A).
Some models are fitted with an "Aquastop" water supply hose
(see fig.B) in which the small filter is already housed in the
threaded end.
If the water pipes are new or have not been used for an extended period of time, let the water run to make sure that the
water is clear and free of impurities. If this precaution is not
taken, there is a risk that the water inlet can get blocked and
damage the appliance.
fig.A
fig.B
Warning
The appliance is to be connected to the water mains using new hosesets and that old hose-sets should not be reused.
Anti-Flooding protection
If dishwasher is equipped with a system that stops the supply of water in the event of a problem with the water
supply hose, or leaks within the unit, in order to prevent damage to your home. If for any reason the box
containing the electrical components happens to get damaged, remove the plug for the appliance from the
socket immediately. In order to guarantee that the anti-flooding feature operates properly, the "A" box with water
supply hose must be attached to the water supply tap as shown in fig.B. No other type of connection is acceptable.
The water supply hose must not, under any circumstances, be cut, as it contains electrical parts which are live.
If the length of the hose is not adequate to make a proper connection, the hose must be replaced with one which
is long enough. This hose is available upon request from specialised retailers and service center.
4
en
Drain hose connection
Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe with a minimum diameter of 4cm, or let it run into the sink, making
sure to avoid bending or crimping it. If necessary, fit a syphon trap (U-bend) with a connecting piece for
the drain hose (fig.C). The free end of the hose must be at a height between 40 and 100 cm and must not
be immersed in water.
100 cm
40 cm
fig.C
Attention:
The connecting piece for syphon trap (U-bend) must be solidly
fastened to the wall to prevent the drain hose from moving and
allowing water to spill outside the drain.
Electrical Connection
After making sure that the voltage and frequency values for the current in the home correspond to those
on the rating plate (located on the stainless steel inner door of the appliance) and that the electrical
system is correct for the maximum voltage on the rating plate, insert the plug into an electrical socket
which is earthed properly (the earthing of the appliance is a safety requirement mandated by law).
If the electrical socket to which the appliance must be connected is not appropriate for the plug, replace
the whole cable, rather than using adaptors or the like as they could cause overheating and burns.
Caution:
The dishwasher plug must be accessible even when the appliance
is installed as a built-in unit so that maintenance can be done safely.

How to fill the salt container and the rinse aid dispenser
en
Salt
The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard water is used in the dishwasher, deposits
will form on the dishes and utensils.
The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses a salt specifically designed to eliminate lime
and minerals from the water.
Loading the salt into the container
Always use salt intended for use with dishwashers.
The salt container is located beneath the lower rack and should be filled as follows:
When the low salt indicator “ ” lights, you must fill the salt.
Remove the lower rack and then unscrew and remove the
cap from the salt container;
If you are filling the container for the first time, fill it with water;
Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and introduce about 2 kg of salt. It is normal for a small amount of
water to come out of the salt container.
Carefully screw the cap back on.
The salt container must be filled when the "low salt indicator"
(located on the control panel) lights.
To prevent the formation of rust, load the salt just before
beginning a wash cycle.
Adjusting salt consumption
The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjusting the amount
of salt consumed based on the hardness of the water used.
This is intended to optimize and customize the level of salt
consumption so that it remains at a minimum.
To adjust salt consumption, proceed as follows:
7
en
Unscrew the cap from the salt container;
There is a ring on the container with an arrow on it (see figure to the side).
If necessary, rotate the ring in an anticlockwise direction from the " - " setting towards the " + " sign,
based on the hardness of the water being used.
It is recommended that adjustments be made in accordance with the following table:

Rinse aid
This product makes dishes sparkle and helps them to dry without spotting. The dispenser is located on
the inside panel of the door .
When the low rinse aid indicator “ ” lights , you must load rinse aid .
Loading the rinse aid
Regardless of the type of detergent dispenser installed on your
appliance, you must proceed as indicated below when loading the
rinse aid.
To open the dispenser, turn the " 1 " cap in an anti-clockwise direction and then pour in the rinse aid, making sure not to overfill. The
amount of rinse aid used for each cycle can be regulated by turning
the "2" dose adjustor, located beneath the "1" cap, with a screwdriver.
There are 6 different settings; the normal dosage setting is 3.
Important
Proper dosage of the rinse aid improves drying.

Not suitable for the dishwasher
en
What you should not put into the dishwasher
Cutlery and tableware manufactured in whole or part from wood.They become faded and unsightly in
appearance.Furthermore,the adhesives that are used are not suitable for the temperature that occur
inside the dishwasher.Delicate decorative glassware and vases,special antique or irreplaceable china.
The decorative patterns on such items will not be dishwasher-proof.
Plastic objects that are not resistant to hot water, copper and pewter utensils are also not suitable.
Decorative patterns printed or painted onto the surface of crockery, glasses, etc.,aluminium and silver
items tend to become discoloured or faded if washed in the diswasher. Some types of glass can become
opaque in appearance after they have been washed many times in a dishwasher. Highly absorbent
materials, such as sponges and towels,should never be placed in the dishwasher.
Our recommendation
In future, only purchase table or kitchenware that has been confirmed as being dishwasher-proof.
Important
Dishes or cutlery that have been soiled by tobacco ash, wax,
Iubricating grease or paint, should not be put in the dishwasher.
Damage to glassware and other dishes
Possible causes
type of glass or manufacturing process
chemical composition of detergent
water temperature and duration of dishwasher programme.
Suggested remedy
Use glassware or porcelain dishes that have been marked ‘dishwasher-proof’ by the manufacture.
Use a mild detergent that is described as ‘kind to dishes’. If necessary, seek further information from
detergent manufacturers.
Select a programme with a low temperature and a short duration as possible.
To prevent damage, take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher as soon as possible after the
programme has ended.
10
Arranging crockery, glasses, etc. in the dishwasher
en
Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove larger food
particles to prevent the filter from becoming clogged, which results in reduced performance.
If the pots and pans have baked-on food that is extremely hard
to remove, we recommend that they are soaked before washed.
This will eliminate the need for extra wash cycles.
Pull out the rack to load the dishwasher.
Load for 12 Standard Settings
(for EN 50242 tests)
How to use the lower rack
We recommend that you place the most difficult to clean items
on the bottom rack: pots, pans, lids, serving dishes and bowls,
as shown in the figure to the right.
It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the sides of the
racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation of the top spray arm.
Pots, serving bowls, etc. must always be placed face down.
(see fig.D)
Deep pots should be slanted to allow the water to flow out.
The silverware basket can be doubled (see fig.E) so that
only one section may be used when the silverware load is
light. This also makes space for additional pots and pans
and it can also be placed in the upper rack.
Silverware should be placed in the silverware basket with
the handles at the bottom; if the rack has side baskets, the
spoons should be located individually into the appropriate
slots. Especially long utensils should be placed in the horizontal position at the front of the upper rack.(see fig.E)
fig.D
fig.E
11
Warning
Knives and other utensils with sharp points must be loaded in the
basket with their points down or placed in a horizontal position.
How to use the upper rack
The upper rack is designed to hold more delicate and lighter
dishware, such as glasses, cups and saucers, plates, small
bowls and shallow pans (as long as they are not too dirty).
Position the dishes and cookware so that they do not get
moved by the spray of water.
The upper rack can be adjusted for height by using the knobs
located on both sides of the rack itself (see fig.F).
Adjust the upper basket to the higher level and you have
more space to accommodate those taller pans and trays in
the bottom basket.
Shelf
Lean tall glasses and those with long stems against the shelfnot against other items to be washed.
Place glasses, cups and small bowls on the additional cup rack.
The additional cup rack can be swivelled in or out as required
(see fig.G).
en
fig.F

Knife rack
The knife rack clips onto the side of the top basket, giving you
the freedom to wash your large sharp knives separately and
out of harm’s way (see fig.H).

Washing dishes
en
Programme selection
The most appropriate programme can be identified by comparing the type of crockery, cutlery, etc., as
well as the amount and condition of food remains, with the details contained in the wash cycle table.The
corresponding programme sequence, duration and consumption details are shown in the right half of the
overview. For example:
Use the “Normal Wash” programme for dishes and utensils which have plenty of food remains stuck
on hard.
Earn savings
If only a small number of dishes have been loaded into the dishwasher,selecting a programme that
operates at the next lowest temperature will usually be sufficient.
Programme data
The stated programme data are based on standard operating conditions. The values can vary considerably according to:
different amounts of dishes
temperature of mains water supply
pressure of mains water supply
ambient temperature
fluctuations in mains voltage
machine-related factors (e.g. temperature, water volume,...)
Turning on the Appliance
Starting a wash cycle...
Make sure that the plug for the appliance is inserted into the wall socket.
Make sure that the water supply is turned on to full pressure.
Load the dishwasher .
Pour in the detergent.
Press the ON-OFF button, and the “ON-OFF” light will turn on.
Turn the knob located on the right of the control panel until the number or symbol for the cycle setting
is aligued with the refrence mark (see the section entitled, program overview).If the knob rightly
aligned with the refrence mark you want to choose, you must turn the knob to with the mark of
“Reset” .Then back to first step.
After five seconds the “ON-OFF” light will turn off, the wash cycle will begin.
15
en
At the end of the wash cycle...
When the buzzer constantly beeps six times, the “ON-OFF” light will turn on and the cycle has finished. Turn
off the appliance using the ON-OFF button, turn off the water supply and open the door of the dishwasher.
Wait a few minutes before unloading the dishwasher to avoid handling the dishes and utensils while
they are still hot and more susceptible to breakage. They will also dry better.
Cancelling or modifying a wash cycle setting...
A cycle that is underway can only be modified if it has been running for a short time. Otherwise, the
detergent may have already been used, and the appliance may have already drained the wash
water. If this is the case, the detergent dispenser must be refilled (see the paragraph entitled,
"Loading the Detergent").
Rotate the knob to the mark of “Reset”,the appliance
will take a few minute drain phase.During this process,
you can select right programme.
Wash Cycle Adjustment Buttons
"ECO" Button
This button (see "Close-up View - Control Panel", letter "A" ) is used for normal dirty dishes, pots and pans.
“3 IN 1” Button
When using "3 IN 1"combination products, the rinse-aid and salt lights are no longer useful. It may be helpful therefore to switch the rinse aid off (please note that only some dishwashers have this facility )and selecting the lowest
possible setting for water hardness.
If you decide to switch to the use of a standard detergent system we advise that you:
1:Refill both the salt and rinse aid compartments.
2:Switch the waterhardness setting to the highest possible position and run for three normal cycles without a load.
3:Readjust the waterhardness setting again according to the conditions for your region.
Half load Button
This button (see "Close-up View - Control Panel", letter "C" ) makes it possible to wash dishes using only the upper
rack if there are not enough dishes for a full load. This will allow you to save on water and electricity.
It can be used before setting any of the wash cycles. Please keep in mind that the amount of detergent should also
be cut in half.
Notice
Do not place the tablets in the tub or the cutlery basket as this will
result in poorer wash results. The tablets should be placed in the
detergent doser.
