Installation
EN
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
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. 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.

*. Adjust the height of the rear foot from the front of the
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 supplied 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.
If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialist
store or an authorised technician (see Assistance).
The water pressure must be within the values indicated in
the Technical data table (see adjacent information).
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.
Some models are also equipped with the supplementary
safety device New Acqua Stop
flooding protection even in the event of a supply hose rupture.
*, which guarantees anti-
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 appliance must be connected to the water supply
network using new hoses.
Do not use old hoses.
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).
WARNING: HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE!
Under no circumstance should the water inlet hose be cut as it
contains live electrical parts.
* Only available in selected models.

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
A
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.

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 only then approximately 1 kg of salt (see
chapter entitled Rinse aid and refined salt). The water may
overflow: this is normal and is not a cause for concern. Select
the water hardness value (see chapter entitled Rinse aid and
refined salt).

* switches off.
Before inserting the plug into the electrical socket, make sure
that:
The socket is earthed and complies with current
regulations.
The socket can withstand the maximum load of the
appliance, which is indicated on the data plate located on
the inside of the door (see chapter entitled Description of
the appliance).
The power supply voltage falls within the values indicated
on the data plate on the inside of the door.
The socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance. If
this is not the case, ask an authorised technician to replace
the plug (see Assistance); do not use extension cables or
multiple sockets.
Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply
cable and the electrical socket should be easily accessible.
The cable should not be bent or compressed.
If the power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer or its Technical Assistance Service in order
to prevent all potential hazards. (See Assistance)
The Company shall not be held responsible for any
incidents that occur if these regulations are not observed.

Loading the racks
Before loading the racks, remove all food residues from
the crockery and empty liquids from glasses and cups.
After loading the appliance, check that the sprayer arms
can rotate freely.
Lower rack
The lower rack can hold pans, lids, plates, salad bowls,
cutlery, etc. as seen in the Loading examples.
Plates and large covers should be placed at the sides of the
rack, ensuring that they do not block the rotation of the upper
sprayer arm.
Some dishwasher models are fitted with tip-up sections
which can be used in a vertical position when arranging
plates or in a horizontal position when arranging pans and
salad bowls.
*,
Cutlery basket
The type of cutlery basket may vary according to the
dishwasher model: it may be modular, non-modular or a sliding
version. The non-modular basket must only be positioned at
the front of the lower rack.
The modular basket may be separated into two parts, a solution
which is recommended when performing a half load wash (only
in models offering this option), is available in a sliding version
(positioned at any point on the lower rack by sliding it between
the fixed or tip-up inserts.
- Both versions are fitted with a collapsible sliding system which
means the cutlery can be arranged in the best possible way.
Knives and other utensils with sharp edges must be placed
in the cutlery basket with the points facing downwards, or they
must be positioned horizontally in the tip-up compartments on
the upper rack.
Adjusting the height of the upper rack
In order to make it easier to arrange the crockery, the upper
rack may be moved to a higher or lower level.
(in models which offer the Baby cycle, the upper rack must be
placed in its lower position when the appliance is being loaded).
The height of the upper rack should ideally be adjusted
WHEN THE RACK IS EMPTY.
Never lift or lower the rack on one side only.
Open the left and right guide rail stops
and pull out the rack; position it higher or
lower as required, slide it along the guide
rails until the front wheels are in place
and close the stops (see figure).

Rinse aid and refined salt
Only use products which have been
specifically designed for dishwashers.
Do not use table salt or industrial salt, or
washing up liquid.
Follow the instructions given on the packaging.
If using a multi-functional product 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. Follow the instructions given on the
packaging.
If you do not add salt or rinse aid, the LOW
* and LOW RINSE AID* indicator lights
SALT
remain lit.
Measuring out 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:
When the LOW RINSE AID
panel is illuminated;
into the appliance tub.
Adjusting the amount of rinse aid
If you are not completely satisfied with the drying results,
you may adjust the quantity of rinse aid used. Use a
screwdriver to turn the dosage adjuster (F) to one of the 6
pre-set positions (the default position is set to 4):
If there are streaks on the crockery, set the adjustment
device to a lower number (1-3).
If drops of water remain on the crockery or if there are
limescale marks present after the cycle has finished, set
the adjuster to a higher number (4-6).
Setting the water hardness
Every dishwasher is equipped with a water softener which, by
using refined salt designed especially for this type of
appliance, supplies water without limescale which is then used
to wash the crockery.
This dishwasher offers a setting which helps to reduce
pollution and optimises washing performance in accordance
with the water hardness level in your area. This information can
be obtained from the organisation which supplies your
household with water.
- Switch on the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.
- Press the P button and hold for a few seconds; two short
beeps will sound and the wash cycle indicator light
corresponding to the set degree of hardness will flash slowly
on the control panel (the water softening system is set to
number 3).
- Press the P button repeatedly until the desired hardness
level has been reached (1-2-3-4-5
table).

Measuring out the refined salt
In order to achieve the best possible results using 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 (see Description) and should be filled:
When the green float* cannot be seen by simply looking at
the cap of the salt dispenser.

4. Remove the funnel* and wipe any salt residue away from
the opening; rinse the cap under running water and then
screw it on, the head facing downwards so as to let the
water flow out of the four cracks which are arranged in a
star shape on the lower part of the cap. (the container cap
with the green float
It is advisable to perform this procedure every time you
add salt to the container.
Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly, so that no
detergent can get into the container during the wash cycle
(this could damage the water softener beyond repair).
When necessary, measure out the salt before a wash
cycle so that any saline solution which has leaked out of the
salt dispenser is removed.

Care and maintenance
Shutting off the water and electricity
EN
supplies
Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle to avoid
leaks.
Always unplug the appliance when cleaning it and
when performing maintenance work.
Cleaning the dishwasher
The external surfaces of the machine and the control
panel may be cleaned using a non-abrasive cloth
which has been dampened with water. Do not use
solvents or abrasive products.
Any marks on the inside of the appliance may be
removed using a cloth dampened with water and a
little vinegar.
Preventing unpleasant odours
Always keep the door of the appliance ajar in order to
avoid moisture from forming and being trapped inside
the machine.
Clean the seals around the door and detergent
dispensers regularly using a damp sponge. This will
avoid food becoming trapped in the seals, which is
the main cause behind the formation of unpleasant
odours.
Cleaning the sprayer arms
Food residue may become encrusted onto the sprayer
arms and block the holes used to spray the water. It is
therefore recommended that the arms are checked from
time to time and cleaned with a small non-metallic
brush.
The two sprayer arms may both be removed.
To remove the upper sprayer
arm, rotate the locking ring in
an anti-clockwise direction.
The upper sprayer arm should
be replaced with the holes
facing upwards.
Clean the water inlet filter at the tap outlet regularly.
- Turn off the water tap.
- Unscrew the end of the water inlet hose, remove the filter and
clean it carefully under running water.
- Replace the filter and screw the water hose back into
position.
Cleaning the filters
The filter assembly consists of three filters which remove food
residues from the washing water and then recirculate the
water. They should be cleaned if you wish to achieve the best
results in every wash.
Clean the filters regularly.
The dishwasher should not be used without filters, or if the
filter is loose.
After several washes, check the filter assembly and if
necessary clean it thoroughly under running water, using a
non-metallic brush and following the instructions below:
1. Turn the cylindrical filter C in an anti-clockwise direction
and pull it out (fig. 1).
2. Remove the cup filter B by exerting a slight pressure on the
side flaps (fig. 2).
3. Slide out the stainless steel plate filter A (fig. 3).

extended period of time, let the water run to make sure it
is clear and free of impurities before performing the
necessary connections. If this precaution is not taken,
the water inlet could become blocked and damage the
dishwasher.

After cleaning the filters, replace the filter assembly and fix it in
position correctly; this is essential for maintaining the efficient
operation of the dishwasher.

Precautions, advice
and Assistance
This appliance was designed and manufactured in
compliance with current international safety standards. The
following information has been provided for safety reasons
and should therefore be read carefully.
General safety
The appliance was designed for domestic use inside the
home and is not intended for commercial or industrial use.
The appliance must be used by adults only, to wash
domestic crockery in accordance with the instructions in
this manual.
The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even in
covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the
machine exposed to rain and storms.
Do not touch the appliance when barefoot.
When unplugging the appliance always pull the plug from
the mains socket, do not pull on the cable.
The water supply tap must be shut off and the plug should
be removed from the electrical socket before cleaning the
appliance or carrying out any maintenance work.
If the appliance breaks down, do not under any
circumstances touch the internal parts in an attempt to
perform the repair work yourself.
Never touch the heating element.
Do not lean or sit on the open door of the appliance: this
may cause the appliance to overturn.
The door should not be left open as it may create a
dangerous obstacle.
Keep detergent and rinse aid out of reach of children.
The packaging material should not be used as a toy.
If your electricity supply contract gives details of electricity
saving time bands, run wash cycles during the periods
when a lower tariff is applied. The Delayed start* button
(see Start-up and use) helps you organise the wash cycles
accordingly.
Phosphate-free and chlorine-free detergents
containing enzymes
We strongly recommend that you use detergents that do
not contain phosphates or chlorine, as these products are
harmful to the environment.
Enzymes provide a particularly effective action at
temperatures around 50°C, and as a result detergents
containing enzymes can be used in conjunction with lowtemperature wash cycles in order to achieve the same
results as a normal 65°C wash cycle.
To avoid wasting detergent, use the product in appropriate
quantities based on the manufacturers recommendations,
the hardness of the water and the soil level and quantity of
crockery to be washed. Even if they are biodegradable,
detergents contain substances which may alter the balance
of nature.

Disposal
Disposal of packaging materials: observe local legislation
so that the packaging may be reused.
The European Directive 2002/96/EC relating to Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states that
household appliances should not be disposed of using the
normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted appliances
should be collected separately in order to optimise the cost
of re-using and recycling the materials inside the machine,
while preventing potential damage to the atmosphere and
to public health. The crossed-out dustbin is marked on all
products to remind the owner of their obligations regarding
separated waste collection.
For further information relating to the correct disposal of
household appliances, owners may contact the relevant
public authority or the local appliance dealer.
Saving energy and respecting the
environment
Saving water and energy
Only begin a wash cycle when the dishwasher is full. While
waiting for the dishwasher to be filled, prevent unpleasant
odours using the Soak cycle (see Wash cycles).
Select a wash cycle which is suited to the type of crockery
and to the soil level of the crockery using the Table of wash
cycles:
- For dishes with a normal soil level, use the Eco wash
cycle, which guarantees low energy and water
consumption levels.
- If the load is smaller than usual activate the Half load
* (see Start-up and use).
