Installation
Positioning the appliance
Positioning the appliance in the desired location. The back should r es t against the wall behind it, and the
sides , along the adja cent ca binet s or wall. The d ish wash er is equ ipp ed wi th w ater supp ly an d dr ain
hoses that can be positioned to the right or the left to facilitate proper installation.
Levelling the appliance
Once the applia nce is pos itioned , adj ust t he feet (sc rewing th em in or out ) to adj ust the dis hwas her,
making it level. In any case, the appliance s hould not be inclined more than 2˚. If the appliance is level, it
will help ensure proper performance.
Cold wat er connectio n
Connect the water suppl y hose to a t hr eaded 3 / 4 ( gas ) c onnect or,
making sure that it is fastened tightly in place (see fig.A).
Some models are fit ted with an "Aqua st op" water s upply 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 per iod of t im e, let the wat er run to mak e sure t hat t he
water is c lea r a nd free of i m purities. If this p r eca u t ion is not taken,
there is a risk that the water inle t can get bloc ke d 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 (for some models)
The 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 e lectri cal c ompon ents ha ppen s to get da mage d, rem ove the plu g f or the appl iance 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 su pply tap as shown in fig.B. No other type of con nection is acceptab le.
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.

Drain hose co nnect ion
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 m us t be at a heig ht between 40 and 100 cm and must not
be immerse d i n w at e r.
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 v alues for the current in the home correspond to those
on the rat ing plate ( locate d on the stainl ess steel inne r door of the ap plianc e) and that t he elec tric al
system is correc t f or the max imum v olt age on t he r ating plate, insert the p lug int o 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
Salt
The hardness of the water varies f rom place to plac e. If hard water is use d in t he dishw asher , 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 “1” 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 nor m al for a s m all am ount
of water to come out of the salt container.
Carefully screw the cap back on.

Important
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 t he l ev el of s alt
consumption so that it remains at a minimum.
To adjust salt consumption, proceed as follows:
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, rotat e 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:
