Installation

 Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for future reference. If the appliance is sold, given away or moved, please ensure the manual is kept with the machine, so that the new owner may benefit from the advice contained within it.

 Please read this instruction manual carefully: it contains important information regarding the safe installation, use and maintenance of the appliance.

 If the appliance must be moved at any time, keep it in an upright position; if absolutely necessary, it may be tilted onto its back.

Positioning and levelling

1. Remove the appliance from all packaging and check that it has not been damaged during transportation. If it has been damaged, contact the retailer and do not proceed any further with the installation process.

2. Check the dishwasher by placing it so that its sides or back panel are in contact with the adjacent cabinets or even with the wall. This appliance can also be recessed under a single worktop* (

Connecting the water inlet hose

• To a suitable cold water connection point: before attaching the hose, run the water until it is perfectly clear so that any impurities that may be present in the water do not clog the appliance; after performing this operation, screw the inlet hose tightly onto a tap with a ¾ gas threaded connection.

• To a suitable hot water connection point: your dishwasher may be provided with hot water from the mains supply (if you have a central heating system with radiators) provided that it does not exceed a temperature of 60°C. Screw the hose to the tap as described for connection to a cold water supply.

3. Position the dishwasher on a level and sturdy floor. If the floor is uneven, the front feet of the appliance may be adjusted until it reaches a horizontal position (the angle of inclination must not exceed 2 degrees). If the appliance is levelled correctly, it will be more stable and much less likely to move or cause vibrations and noise while it is operating.

Connecting the water and electricity supplies

 Connection to the water and electricity supplies should only be performed by a qualified technician.

 The dishwasher should not stand on top of the water hoses or the electricity supply cable.

The water inlet (A) and outlet (B) hoses and the electricity supply cable may be positioned towards the right or the left in order to achieve the best possible installation (

see figure

 If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialist store or an authorised technician (

Assistance

 The water pressure must be within the values indicated in the Technical data table (

 The hose should not be bent or compressed.

Anti-flooding protection

To ensure floods do not occur, the dishwasher:

- is provided with a special system which blocks the

water supply in the event of anomalies or leaks from inside the appliance.

- is provided with a

other words it has a water inlet hose that consists of a transparent hose on the outside and a red hose on the inside: both the hoses can withstand extremely high pressure. If the internal hose breaks, the external hose becomes a bright red colour and carries the water instead, thus avoiding any leakage.

 It is very important to check the external hose regularly: if it is a bright red colour, it must be replaced by an authorised technician as soon as possible (

Connecting the water outlet hose

Connect the outlet hose (without bending it) to a drain duct with a minimum diameter of 4 cm. Alternatively, rest it over a sink or tub; the free end of the hose should not remain immersed in water.

The special plastic elbow* makes it easier to find the best layout: fix the elbow to the wall securely in order to prevent the outlet hose from moving and spilling the dirty water. The part of the hose marked with the letter A

should be between 40 and 100 cm above the ground

see figure

(

 We advise against the use of hose extensions.

Electrical connection

Before inserting the plug into the electrical socket, make sure that:

 The Company shall not be held responsible for any incidents that occur if these regulations are not observed.

Advice regarding the first wash cycle

After the appliance has been installed, immediately before running the first wash cycle, completely fill the salt dispenser with water and add approximately 2 kg of salt (

see Rinse aid and refined salt

). The water may overflow: this is normal and is not a cause for concern. It is also normal that the LOW SALT* indicator light continues to flash for a few cycles after the salt has been loaded.

Rinse aid and refined salt

 Only use products that have been specifically designed for dishwashers. Do not use table salt or industrial salt.

 If using a multi-functional product (2-in-1, 3-in-1, 4-in1,etc.) it is not necessary to add rinse aid; however, we recommend that you add salt, especially if you live in an area where the water is hard or very hard. If you do not add salt or rinse aid, the LOW SALT* and LOW RINSE AID* indicator lights will flash continuously.

Loading the rinse aid

Rinse aid makes it easier for the crockery to dry, as water runs off surfaces more readily and therefore does not leave streaks or marks. The rinse aid dispenser should be filled:

• whenever the indicator light (H) signals that it is empty. Illuminated light: add rinse aid; unlit light: there is no shortage of rinse aid in the dispenser.

• when the LOW RINSE AID* indicator light on the panel flashes;

1. Open the dispenser by

3. Screw the lid back on.

turning the lid (G) in an anticlockwise direction.

2. Pour in the rinse aid, making sure it does not overflow from the

dispenser. If this happens,

clean the spill immediately with a sponge.

NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the appliance tub.

Adjusting the amount of rinse aid

If you are not completely satisfied with the washing or drying results, you may adjust the quantity of rinse aid used. Use a screwdriver to turn the dosage adjuster to one of the 6 pre-set positions (the default position is set to 4):

• if there are bluish streaks on the crockery, set the adjuster to a lower number (1-3).

• if drops of water remain on the crockery or there are limescale marks present after the cycle has finished, set the adjuster to a higher number (4-6).

 If you are using multi-functional tablets (2-in-1, 3-in-1, 4-in-1, etc.) and you wish to further improve the drying performance of the appliance, fill the dispenser and set the dosage adjuster to 2.

Loading the refined salt

In order to obtain the best possible results from a wash cycle, make sure that the dispenser is never empty. Refined salt removes limescale from the water, thus avoiding the formation of deposits on crockery. The salt dispenser is located in the lower

part of the dishwasher ( be filled:

• when the green float* cannot be seen by simply looking at the cap of the salt dispenser;

• when the LOW SALT* indicator light on the panel flashes;

• if your machine is not equipped with an indicator light or a green float: approximately every 30 wash cycles;

correctly ( the edges (approximately 2 kg); it is normal for a little water to leak out.

4. Remove the funnel, wipe away any salt residue

from the thread and screw the cap on tightly, so that detergent does not leak into the dispenser during the wash cycle (this could damage the water softening system beyond repair).

 When salt has been added, run a wash cycle immediately, without crockery, in order to remove any salt solution that has leaked out and to avoid corrosion.

Adjusting the amount of salt*

It is possible to adjust the amount of salt used according to the hardness of the water in your area (this information is available from your local water board).

The default setting of the water softening system is +.

- If using multi-functional tablets (2-in-1, 3-in-1, 4-in-

1,etc.) fill the salt dispenser and set the adjuster to -; if the hardness of the water is greater than 60°fH, set it to +.
