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.
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
sheet
).
see the Assembly instruction
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 (

Connecting the water outlet hose
Connect the outlet hose (without bending it) to a drain
duct with a minimum diameter of 4 cm.
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.

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 and outlet hoses and the electricity
supply cable may be positioned towards the right or the
left in order to achieve the best possible installation.
The outlet hose must be at a height ranging from 40 to
80 cm from the floor / surface where the dishwasher
rests (A).
Before connecting the water outlet hose to the sink
drain, remove the plastic plug (B).

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.

Measuring out the detergent
A good wash result also depends on the correct
amount of detergent being used; exceeding the
stated amount does not result in a more effective
wash and increases environmental pollution.
Only use detergent which has been
specifically designed for dishwashers.
DO NOT USE washing up liquid.
Using excessive detergent may result in foam
residue remaining in the machine after the cycle
has ended.
The use of tablets is only recommended for
models which offer the MULTI-FUNCTIONAL
TABLETS option.
To achieve the best results from each washing
and drying cycle, powder detergent, rinse aid

Adding extra crockery
Without switching off the machine, open the door, taking
care to avoid the escaping steam, and place the
crockery inside the dishwasher. Close the door: the
cycle starts from the point at which it was interrupted.
Accidental interruptions
If the door is opened during the wash cycle, or if there is
a power cut, the cycle stops. It starts again from the point
at which it was interrupted once the door has been shut
or the electricity supply is restored.

Notes:
Optimum performance levels when using the ""Rapid wash" cycle can be achieved by observing the maximum amounts
of crockery specified.
To make it easier to measure out the detergent, it is worth remembering that:
1 tablespoon = 15 grams of powder = approximately 15 ml of liquid - 1 teaspoon = 5 grams of powder = approximately 5
ml of liquid.
* The Eco wash cycle adheres to the regulation EN-50242. Although it has a longer duration than other wash cycles it
uses less energy and is les harmful to the environment.

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
* 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;
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.
- Open the door and switch on the machine by pressing
the ON/OFF button.
- Press the P button and hold for approximately 5 seconds;
two short beeps will sound and the indicator light
corresponding to the set degree of hardness will flash

set to number 3).

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.

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
cycle so that any saline solution which has leaked out of the
salt dispenser is removed.
