Installation
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 cold water supply hose to a threaded 3/4 (gas) connector, making sure that it is fastened tightly in place (see fig.
1). 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.
Hot Water Connection
The water supply to the appliance can also be connected to the house's hot water line (centralised system, heating system), as long as it does not exceed a temperature of 60 In this case,the wash cycle time will be shortened by about 15 minutes and the wash efficiency slightly reduced. The connection must be made to the hot water line following the same procedures as those for the connection to the cold water line.

GB
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. Use the special plastic support that comes with the appliance (see fig.2). The free end of the hose must be at a height between 40 and 100 cm and must not be immersed in water.
fig.2
Attention:
The special plastic hose support 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 plug, 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 safety.

Mounting the Wooden Panel onto the Door and Slid­ing the Dishwasher into the Cabinet
During the preparatory stages for installing the dishwasher into the kitchen cabinet, holes must not be drilled in the sides, or door, in order to avoid compromising the performance and/or operation of the appliance. Before working on any internal components, the unit must be disconnected from the power supply .The maximum dimensions for the wood panel that can be installed on the door are: Height - 610 mm ( 725 mm for the completely built-in version); Width - 598 mm; Thickness:20 mm. The height dimension of 610 mm must be reduced if the height of the control panel is increased through the use of the spacers. In addition, the base must be trimmed if it interferes with the opening of the door.
Using the Drilling Template (Fig.1)
Align the top edge of the template (identified with the “A” arrow ) with the top edge of the panel. On both sides of the template (top and bottom ) are written the various dimensions that correspond to the different possible widths for the panel. Align the template with the side of the panel (left or right), making sure that the panel coincides with the appropriate dimensions. Mark the posi­tions for the holes for the screws, using the tip of a drill or a pencil. The three holes closest to the side should be used(B). Repeat this step on the other side of the panel ,using the corre­sponding side of the template.
Mounting the Wood Door Panel onto the Dishwasher
Place the wood panel onto the door of the dishwasher. Then perform the installation steps described below, based on whether the panel is for a totally built-in model or integrated with the con­trol panel.
Totally Built- in Panel
Insert the top hooks into the appropriate slots in the dishwasher control panel. Then push the panel upwards until it stops. After­wards , slide the panel downward again, moving the bottom of the panel toward the door so that the fins on the brackets slide into their slots (Fig.3). In both cases, open the doors of the dishwasher (the panel should stay in place by itself) and align the panel with the door, keeping it in contact with the control panel. Remove the small plastic plugs that cover the holes on the inside of the dishwasher door and fasten the panel in place with the screws provided (Fig.
4). Remember to cover the two holes with the plastic plugs re­moved earlier.
Fastening the Bracket to the Wooden Panel (Fig.2)
At the point marked, drill holes 2 mm in diameter . If the panel is made of chip board , only drill through the veneer. If the panel is made of solid wood, the holes can be made deeper. Position the two brackets so that they are lined up with the holes made in the bottom part of the panel. The holes furthest to the outside should be used to fasten the brackets. The small fins should be turned downward. The hooks in the totally built-in version should be screwed into the two holes at the top.

GB
Adjusting the Door Springs (Fig.5B)
The door must be perfectly balanced. In the factory , the tension of the springs is regulated to ensure that the door is perfectly balanced when light wood door panels are mounted on the door. If heavier, solid wood door panels are used, the door can be balanced by simply turning the two screws (both screws must be turned the same amount) located on the top part of the machine.
Installation of Continuous Base Moulding
Position the dishwasher in the cut-out in the kitchen cabinet:
1.Install the continuous base moulding , following the manufacturer’s instructions .
2. Slowly open the door of the dishwasher to check to see if the door strikes or rubs against the base moulding.
3. If so, rest the bottom edge of the panel on the base moulding and mark the part to be cut. Leave at least 3 mm of the play between the panel and the base moulding to allow for the door to rotate freely (Fig.6)
4. Remove the base moulding and trim it as needed, protecting the surface that has been cut with a paint or similar wood finish (Fig.6)
5. Install the base moulding again (Fig.7).
How to use water-proof plastic
Firstly take off the water-proof plastic from the sticker with the appliance (see , Fig.8). Secondly stick it on the bottom of the kitchen board (see , Fig.8). All of this can avoid humidity in the kitchen.
Positioning the Unit within the Cabinet (Fig.9)
Push the dishwasher into the cabibet opening and turn the feet to make it level and to adjust for height so that the crosspiece (A) for fastening it in place located on the top part of the ma­chine comes into contact with the counter .Align the door panel mounted on the dishwasher with the doors on the adjacent cabinet. Important: The dishwasher must absolutely be fastened to the counter top to prevent the machine from tipping when the loaded dish racks are pulled out.
Adjustment of Back Feet (Fig.5A)
Insert the appliance in the cabinet and then adjust the height of the machine using the screws located at the bottom front by the special tool, included in the accessory of dishwasher.Use the special tool to turn the screws in a clockwise direction to raise the dishwasher and in an anticlockwise direction to lower it.
Adjustment of Door Tension (Fig.5B)
Use the special tool to turn the spring-adjusting-screw in a clock­wise direction to tighten the door and in an anticlockwise direc­tion to loosen it.
Notice:
If power screwdrivers are used to make the adjustment, make the final adjustment manually with a normal screwdriver.

Loading the Dishwasher
GB
Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove the larger food debris 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 be allowed to soak before they are washed. This will eliminate the need for extra wash cycles. Pull out the rack to facilitate loading the dishwasher.
How to Use the Lower Rack
We recommend that you place the most difficult to clean items on the bottom rack: pots, 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.
- Deep pots should be slanted to allow the water to flow out.
- Cutlery should be placed in the cutlery basket with the handles at the bottom; if the rack has side baskets, the spoons should be placed individually into the appropriate slots. Espe­ cially long utensils should be placed in the horizontal position at the front of the upper rack( see Fig.A).

How to Use the Upper Rack
The upper rack is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware, such as glasses, coffee and tea cups and saucers, as well as 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 the sides of the rack itself (see fig.B).
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.C).

Starting the Appliance
GB
Starting a wash cycle fter having completed all of the installation steps in the preceding paragraphs, turn on the water to the unit, partially open the door of the dishwasher, and press the ON-OFF button "A" located on the control panel. The "B" indicator light will come on. At this point, the appliance is on and ready to be programmed.
Setting and Starting a wash Cycle
Choose the desired cycle by pressing the cycle selection button "P". Each time it is pressed, one of the cycle indicator lights "M" will come on in succession. Choose the wash cycle you feel is most appropriate for the type of dishes that need washing (consult the wash cycle table con­tained in this manual, especially when first using the appliance). Close the door and after a few seconds, a short acoustic signal will sound indicating that the wash cycle has begun and cannot be modified. If necessary, read the paragraph entitled, "Cancel­ling or modifying a cycle while underway. "The end of the cycle will be signalled by a double acoustic sound, and the indicator light "M" will begin to blink.
At the end of the wash cycle
The end of the cycle will be indicated by a double acoustical signal and the blinking of the "M" indicator light. Open the door, turn off the appliance using the ON/OFF switch and turn off the water supply to the unit. Wait a few minutes before removing the dishes so as to avoid handling them while still hot (when they are more susceptible to breakage) and to get better drying results.
Setting The Start Delay Time
Open the door of the dishwasher partially. If the "C" button is pressed (see, Close-up View" Control Panel"). The start time for the wash cycle can be delayed for 2,4 or 6 hours. Each time the button is pressed, the "D" light will come on indi­cating the length of the delay. After selecting the delay time, the wash cycle can be set, as explained in "Starting a wash cycle..." There will be a short acous­tic signal, and at this point the delay period will begin to count down. During this period the delay indicator light (D) will blink. At the end of the delay time, the indicator will stop blinking and the cycle will start.
Cancelling or modifying a cycle while underway
Premise: A cycle that is underway can only be modified if it has only 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").
To change the cycle currently underway, open the door, press the "P" programming button and hold it in for about 5 seconds. Once the cycle has been cancelled, the dishwasher will emit a short acoustic sound and the relative indicator light will turn off.
To set a new wash cycle, follow the instructions contained in the paragraph entitled, "Setting and Starting a Wash Cycle."
If you forget to load some of the dishes...
The wash cycle can be interrupted by opening the door carefully (in order to avoid being sprayed by hot water). When the door is closed again, the cycle will automatically restart at the point where it left off.
NOTE:
a) During the delay period, none of the settings can be modified. If necessary, they can be cancelled by pressing cycle selector "P" for about 5 seconds. b) If the power to the appliance goes off or the door is opened during the delay period, the clock will stop the countdown. It will start again when the power has come back on, or when the door has been closed.
Wash Cycle Adjustment Buttons
1/2 Load Button
This button (see" Close-up View-Control Panel", letter "Q") 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 electrical energy. It cannot be used with the heavy duty wash cycles.

Salt
GB
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 Softener
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 intro­ duce 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 schema:
The salt container must be filled when the "low salt" indicator light (located on the control panel), comes on..
To prevent the formation of rust, load the salt just be­fore beginning a wash cycle.

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 and should be filled after every 80 wash cycles (or when the "low rinse aid" indicator light comes on for those models with this feature).
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 "C" 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 "F" dose adjustor, located beneath the "C" 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.
Notice: To facilitate closing the cover, remove any ex­cess detergent on the edges of the dispenser.

Energy Saving Tips
GB
-It is important to try and run the dishwasher when it is fully loaded in order to save on energy. In order to prevent odors from forming and food from caking onto the dishes, you can run the hold cycle.
-Choose the right wash cycle: the choice of cycle depends on the type of dishware, cookware and utensils being washed and how dirty they are.
How to keep Your Dishwasher in Shape
After Every Wash
After every wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance and leave the door slightly ajar so that moisture and odors are not trapped inside.
Remove the plug
Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the plug from the socket. Do not run risks.
No solvents or Abrasive Cleaning Products
To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. Rather, use only a cloth and warm soapy water. To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use a cloth dampened with water and a little while vinegar, or cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.
-Use the right amount of detergent: if you use too much deter­gent, the result will not be cleaner dishes, but, rather, a greater negative impact on the environment.
-There is no advantage in rinsing dishes, cookware and utensils before placing them in the dishwasher.
When You Go on Holiday
When you go on holiday, it is recommended that you run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and then remove the plug from the socket, turn off the water supply and leave the door of the appliance slightly ajar. This will help the seals last longer and prevent odors from forming within the appliance.
Moving the Appliance
If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in a vertical position. If absolutely necessary, it can be positioned on its back.
Seals
One of the factors that cause odors to form in the dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this from occurring.
Cleaning and Special Maintenance
Filter Assembly
For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be cleaned frequently. The filter efficiently removes food residue from the wash water, allowing it to be recirculated during the cycle. For this reason, it is a good idea to remove the larger food particles trapped in the filter after each wash cycle by rinsing the "A" semi-circular filter and cup under running water. To remove the filter assembly, pull on the cup handle in the upward direction. The entire filter as­sembly (made up of the "A" semicircular filter and the "B" fine filter) should be cleaned at least once a week. To clean the filter and the fine filter, use a cleaning brush. Then, reassemble the filter parts as shown in the figures below and reinsert the entire assembly in the dishwasher, positioning in its seat and pressing downward.
The dishwasher must never be used without the filters. Improper replacement of the filters may re­duce level of the appliance and damage dishes and utensils.
Cleaning the Spray Arms
It may happen that food particle become encrusted on the spray arms and block the holes. Check the spray arms periodically and clean them when needed.
A
B
Cleaning the Water Inlet Filter
Periodically clean the water inlet filter (see figure) located on the outlet of the water supply tap. After turning off the water tap, unscrew the end of the water sup­ply hose, remove the filter and clean it carefully under running water. Then, return the filter to its place and tighten the water supply hose back into position.

Error Messages
The dishwasher is equipped with a safety system that is able to detect operating problems and malfunctions. These malfunctions are signalled by the rapid blinking of one of the "M" program LEDs. Only in the case where the indicator light for the soak cycle (see table for cycles) blinks rapidly should you cancel the cycle as described in the section entitled, "Changing a Cycle while Under­way." Then check to make sure that there is water in the mains and that the tap is turned on. If the message continues, call for technical assistance, indicating which message appeared. If any of the other indicator lights begins to blink rapidly, turn off the appliance and call for technical assistance, indicating which light began to blink.
If, despite all these checks, the dishwasher still does not function and/or the problem persists, contact the nearest authorised ser­vice centre and provide them with the following information:
- the nature of the problem;
- the model type number (Mod...) And the serial number (S/N...), which are indicated on the plate located on the side of the inner part of the door.
Never call on unauthorised technicians and refuse to allow parts to be installed that are not original spare parts.
