SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
There are certain basic safety rules which are valid for any domestic appliance.
Installation
■ Make sure that the plug fitted to the machine is compatible with the power supply socket. If it is not, get a suitably qualified person to fit the correct type, and to make sure that the cables to the mains socket are able to cope with the power rating of the appliance.
■ Ensure that the dishwasher does not crush power cables.
■ In general it is not advisable to use adaptors, multiple plugs and/or extension cables.
■ Should it be necessary to replace the supply cord, call the After Sales Service Centre.
Safety
■ Never touch the appliance when your hands or feet are wet or damp.
■ Do not use when your feet are bare.
■ Do not remove the plug from the mains
supply socket by pulling the mains cable or the machine itself.
■ Do not leave the appliance exposed to the elements (rain, sun etc).
■ This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
■ Water left in the machine or on the dishes at the end of the wash programme should not be swallowed.
■ The door should not be left in the open position since this could present a potential hazard ( es. tripping ).

Water connection
IMPORTANT The appliance must be connected to the water mains using new hose-sets. The old hose-sets should not be reused.
■ The inlet and drain hoses can be directed to left or right.
IMPORTANT The dishwasher can be connected to either cold or hot water, as long as it is no hotter than 60 °C.
■ Water pressure must be between 0,08 MPa and 0,8 MPa. If the pressure is below the minimum consult our service department for advice.
■ The inlet hose must be connected to a tap so that the water supply can be cut off when the machine is not in use
(fig. 1 B).
■ The dishwasher is fitted with 3/4" threaded connector (fig. 2).

Connecting the outlet hose
■ The outlet hose should disharge into a standpipe, making sure that there are no kinks (fig. 4).
■ The standpipe must be at least 40 cm above floor level and it must have an internal diameter of at least 4 cm.
■ It is advisable to fit an anti-odour air trap (fig. 4X).
■ If necessary the outlet hose can be extended up to 2,5 m, provided that it is kept at a maximum height of 85 cm above floor level. The extension pipe is available from the After Sales Service Centre.
4
■ The hose can be hooked over the side of the sink, but it must not be immersed in water, in order to prevent water from being syphoned back to the machine when this is in operation (fig. 4Y).
■ When installing the appliance under a worktop the hose pipe clamp must be attached to the wall in the highest possible position under the worktop (fig. 4Z).
■ Check that there are no kinks in the inlet and outlet hoses.
■ Connect inlet hose “A” to water tap “B”
with a 3/4" attachment making sure that it has been properly tightened.
■ If it is necessary, the inlet pipe can be lengthened up to 2,5 m. The extension pipe is available from the After Sales Service Centre.
■ If limescale deposits or sand are present in the water, it is advisable to obtain the appropriate filter, art. 9226085, from the After Sales Service Centre (fig. 3). The filter “D” must be inserted between the tap “B” and the inlet hose “A”, remembering to fit the washer “C”.
■ If the dishwasher is connected to new pipes or to pipes which have not been in use for a long time run water through for a few minutes before connecting the inlet hose. In this way no deposits of sand or rust will clog up the water inflow filter.

Opening the door
If the machine comes open while it is working, an electrical safety device automatically switches everything off.
IMPORTANT For the machine to work properly, the door should not be opened while it is in operation.

Closing the door
Place the baskets in the machine. Make sure that both the spray arms are free to rotate and are not obstructed by cutlery, crockery or pans. Close the door, pressing on it to make sure it is firmly shut.
WATER SOFTENER UNIT
Depending on the source of the supply, water contains varying amounts of limestone and minerals which are deposited on the dishes leaving whitish stains and marks. The higher the level of these minerals present in the water, the harder the water is. The dishwasher is fitted with a water softener unit which, through the use of special regenerating salt, supplies softened water for washing the dishes. The degree of hardness of your water can be obtained from your water supply company.
Regulating the water softener
The water softener can treat water with a hardness level of up to 90°fH (French grading) or 50°dH (German grading) through 8 settings.
The settings are listed in the table below:

* The softener unit is set in the factory
at level 4 (d4) as this satisfies the requirements of the majority of users.
Regulate the setting of your water softener unit according to the degree of hardness of your water as follows:
IMPORTANT The dishwasher must be ALWAYS off before start this procedure.
1. Hold down the "PROGRAMME SELECTION" button and at the same
time switch on the dishwasher by pressing the "ON/OFF" button (a brief audible signal will sound).
2. Keep the "PROGRAMME SELECTION" button pressed for at least 5 seconds, UNTIL a brief audible signal sounds. The current water softener setting level will be shown on the display.
3. Press the same button again to select the required water softener level: each time the button is pressed, the setting will increase by one level. When you have reached "d7", the display will go back to "d0".
4. Turn off the dishwasher by pressing the "ON/OFF" button to confirm the new
setting.
WARNING! If any problem occurs, turn the dishwasher off by pressing the "ON/OFF" button and start the procedure again from the beginning (STEP 1).
LOADING THE SALT
■ On the bottom of the machine there is a container for the salt for regenerating the softener.
■ It is important to use only a salt that is specifically designed for dishwasher. Other types of salt contain small quantities of insoluble particles which over a long period of time may affect and deteriorate the softener performance.
■ To add salt, unscrew the cap of the con­tainer on the bottom and then refill the container.
■ During this operation a little water will overflow; but keep adding salt until the container is full. When the container is full, clean the thread of salt residue and retighten the tap.
■ After loading the salt, it is recommended running a complete washing cycle, or COLD RINSE programme. The salt dispenser has a capacity of between 1.5 and 1.8 kg and, for efficient use of the appliance, it should be refilled from time to time according to the regulation of the water softener unit.
IMPORTANT
(Only for first start up) When the appliance is used for the first time, after completely filling the salt container, it is necessary to add water until the container overflows.
Salt loading indicator
This model is provided with an indicator light on the control panel which will light up when it is necessary to reload the salt container.
IMPORTANT The appearance of white stains on dishes is generally an important sign that the salt container needs filling.
