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 with the Soak cycle
Wash Cycles).
• Select a wash cycle that is suited to the
type of crockery and to the soil level 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 option
and options, if available).
(see Special wash cycles
• If your electricity supply contract gives
details of electricity-saving time bands, run
the wash cycles when electricity prices are
lower. The Delayed Start option can help
you organise the wash cycles accordingly
(see Special wash cycles and options, if available).
(if available, see

Installation
GB
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. Position the dishwasher on a level 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.
2. Before recessing the dishwasher, stick the adhesive
transparent strip* under the wooden shelf in order to protect it
from any condensation which may form.
3. Place the dishwasher so that its sides or back panel are in
contact with the adjacent cabinets or the wall. This appliance can
also be recessed under a single worktop*
instruction sheet)
4*. To adjust the height of the rear foot, turn the red hexagonal
bushing on the lower central part at the front of the dishwasher
using a hexagonal spanner with an opening of 8 mm. Turn the
spanner in a clockwise direction to increase the height and in an
anticlockwise direction to decrease it.
.
(see the Assembly
(see Building-in instruction
sheet attached to the documentation)
The dishwasher meets the requirements set out by the regulations
in force concerning safety and electrical equipment.
Any technical checks should be conducted exclusively by a
trained and authorised technician: Repairs carried out by
unaithorised persons will invalidate the guarantee, as well as
posing a potential hazard to the user.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for damage to
persons or property resulting from failure to observe the above
precautions, from tampering with even a single component or
from the use of non-original spare parts.
Connecting the water supply
Adaptation of the water supply for installation should only be
performed by a qualified technician.
The water inlet and outlet hoses may be positioned towards the
right or the left in order to achieve the best possible installation.
Make sure the dishwasher does not bend or squash the hoses.
Connecting the water inlet hose
• To a 3/4” gas cold or hot water connection point (max. 60°C).
• Run the water until it is perfectly clear.
• Screw the inlet hose tightly into position and turn off the tap.
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 - otherwise the dishwasher may be
function properly.
Make sure the hose is not bent, compressed or kinked.
DO NOT overtighten the hose connector, hand tight is
sufficient.
(see After Sales Service)
.
Tap connections*: A range of adaptors are available to suit
your tap.
Connecting the drain hose
Connect the drain hose (without bending) to a drain duct with a
minimum diameter of 2 cm. (A)
The drain hose connection must be at a height ranging from 40
to 80 cm (from 15’’ to 31’’) from the floor or surface where the
dishwasher rests.
MAX 80 cm
MIN 40 cm
• before connecting the drain hose, remove any internal
restrictions; this will prevent a build up of debris which could
cause a blockage.
• remove any restrictions from the waste spigot and ensure that
the sealing bung is removed (B).
It MUST NOT be connected to a surface water drain.
Ensure the drain hose is securely
attached, to prevent it coming away
while the machine is in use and
causing a flood.
Fit hose to waste securely using
a “Jubilee” type clip.
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*, which guarantees anti-flooding
protection even in the event of a supply hose rupture.
WARNING: HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE!
Under no circumstances should the water inlet hose be cut as it
contains live electrical parts.
Electrical connection
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
as shown on the data plate located on the inside of the door
(see chapter 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
4
plug (
see After Sales Service
). 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, have it replaced by
the manufacturer or its authorised Technical Assistance Service
in order to prevent all potential hazards.
The Company shall not be held responsible for any incidents,
if these regulations are not observed.
(See After Sales Service)
This appliance must be earthed.
Fuses:your appliance comes fitted with a plug and a 13A fuse. If
you need to replace the fuse, only those rated at 13A and ASTA
approved to BS1362 should be used. If you lose the fuse cover, a
replacement may be obtained from your local authorised Service
Centre or Electrical company. Correct replacement is identified
by colour coding or the marking on base of plug.
DO NOT use the plug unless the fuse cover is fitted.
Changing the Plug
Cut off and dispose of the supplied plug if it does not fit your
socket.
To avoid a shock hazard DO NOT insert the discarded plug
into a socket anywhere else.
Wires in the mains lead are coloured accordance with the
following code:
Advice regarding the first wash cycle
After the installation, remove the stoppers from the racks and the
retaining elastic elements from the upper rack

the water from the mains supply.
refined salt).
First load the softener tank with water, then introduce about 1 kg
of salt. It is perfectly normal for water to flow out.
As soon as this procedure is complete, run a wash cycle.
Only use salt that has been specifically designed for dishwashers.
After the salt has been poured into the machine, the LOW SALT
indicator light* switches off.
If the salt container is not filled, the water softener and the
heating element may be damaged as a result.
