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.
This appliance is intended to be used in household and
similar applications such as:
- staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working
environments;
- farm houses;
- by clients in hotels, motels and other residential type
environments;
- bed and breakfast type environments.
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.
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 (
The water pressure must be within the values indicated in
the Technical data table (
The hose should not be bent or compressed.

Rinse aid and refined salt
EN
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 SALT*
and LOW RINSE AID* indicator lights 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;
NEVER pour the rinse aid directly 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 the machine off using the ON/OFF button and open
the door.
- Set the SELECT WASH CYCLE knob first to wash cycle 5,
then to wash cycle 1, then to wash cycle 5 again.

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 (

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

Care and maintenance
Shutting off the water and electricity
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.
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:
1.1.
1. Turn the cylindrical filter C in an anti-clockwise direction

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.
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 (
• Select a wash cycle which is suited to the type of crockery
and to the soil level of the crockery using the
:
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 option
(
see Start-up and use
• 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
(
see Start-up and use
accordingly.
) helps you organise the wash cycles
see Wash cycles
).
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 manufacturer’s 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.
