Safety information
At time of delivery
Site the dishwasher and connect it up in accordance with the installation instructions.
The dishwasher must not be connected to the electricity supply while installation is being carried out.
Ensure that the domestic wiring is properly earthed.
The mains electricity supply must conform to the details shown on the dishwasher nameplate.
Do not connect the dishwasher to the electricity supply via an extension cable.
Built-under and built-in appliances should always be installed under a continuous work surface which
is attached to the adjacent cupboards, in order to ensure that the appliance is entirely stable.
After the appliance has been installed,the mains plug should still be easily accessible.
Not on all models:
The plastic housing on the water inlet contains an electrically operated valve.The connecting wires
are inside the inlet hose.Do not cut through this hose and do not immerse the plastic housing in water.
During installation, the power supply cord must not be excessively or dangerously bent or flattened.
Check packaging and dishwasher immediately for signs of transport damage. If the appliance is
damaged, do not put it into use but contact your supplier or customer service without delay.
Please dispose of packaging materials properly.
During installation
The dishwasher must only be used by adults for the washing of household dishes and cooking utensils.
This appliance cannot be installed outdoor, not even if the area in which it is installed is covered by a
roof; it is also very dangerous to leave it exposed to the rain and elements.
Do not place any heavy objects or stand on the door when it is open. The appliance could tip forward.
The water inside the dishwasher is not suitable for drinking.
Do not use solvents of any kind inside your dishwasher. They could cause an explosion danger.
Open the door very carefully if the dishwasher is operating. There is a risk of water squirting out.
During normal use
Do not touch the heating element during or after a wash cycle.
Fundamental rules to follow when using the appliance:
- Never touch the dishwasher when barefoot or with wet hands or feet;
- We discourage the use of extension cords and multiple sockets;
- If the appliance is not operating properly or maintenance must be performed, disconnect the
appliance from the power supply.

Installation
If your family includes children
The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.
Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Keep detergents out of the reach of children, who must also be kept away from the dishwasher when
it is open.
If a fault occurs
If the appliance malfunctions, turn off water supply to the appliance and disconnect the plug from the
wall socket. Then, consult the section entitled, "Fault finding" .If you cannot solve the problem, con-
tact a service center.
Only specialised personnel are authorised to make repairs.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from the
manufacturer or its service agent.
To maintain the EFFICIENCY and SAFETY of this appliance,we recommend:
- call only the Service Centers authorized by the manufacturer.
- always use original Spare Parts.
When disposing of old appliances
Appliances which are no longer being used must be made inoperable by cutting the power supply
cord and removing the door lock.
Take the appliance to a designated waste disposal center.
Warning
Children could get locked in the appliance (risk of suffocation)
or get stuck in other positions. Therefore: Remove the mains
plug, cut the mains wire and set aside. Damage the door lock so
that the door can no longer be closed.

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 sup-
ply 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 ex-
tended 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 inletcan get blocked and
damage the appliance.
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.
fig.A
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 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.
fig.B
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 appli-
ance is level, it will help ensure proper performance.
Warning
The appliance is to be connected to the
water mains using new hose-sets and
that old hose-sets should not be reused.
5
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.
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 appli-
ance is installed as a built-in unit so that maintenance can be
done safely.

Important
To prevent the formation of rust, load the salt just before beginning a
wash cycle.

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.
According to the “Water Hardness Tabel”, you can calcu-
late the time of use , then load 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.

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:
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:
