Installation
en
Positioning the appliance
Positioning the appliance in the desired location. The back of the appliance should rest against the wall,
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. 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
Warning
The appliance is to be connected to the
water mains using new hose-sets and
that old hose-sets should not be reused.
fig.B
Anti-Flooding protection
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,
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
approved
service center.
turn off the power supply and
remove the plug
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 electrical 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.
MAX 100 cm
MIN 40 cm
fig.C
Attention:
The connecting piece for syphon trap (U-bend) must be securely
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).
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
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:
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.
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 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.

How to fill rinse aid
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 “ 1 ” is bright ,it means the rinse
aid is low,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 "2" 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 "3"
dose adjustor, located beneath the "2" cap, with a screwdriver. There
are 6 different settings; the normal dosage setting is 3.
Important
Proper dosage of the rinse aid improves drying. If drops of water remain on the dishes or spotting occurs, the dosage adjustor should be turned to a higher setting. If the dishes have white
streaks, turn the dosage adjustor to a lower setting.

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.

Arranging crockery, glasses, etc. in the dishwasher
ArtNo.800-0319 - RDW459
- Lower rack
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.
en
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 not be doubled (see fig.E).

dishware, such as glasses, cups and saucers, plates, small
bowls and shallow pans (as long as they are not too dirty).(see
fig.F)
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.G).
Adjust the upper basket to the higher level and you have
more space to accommodate those taller pans and trays in
the bottom basket.
