Installation
Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for future EN 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 designed for domestic use or similar applications, for example:
-staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other work environments;
-farmhouses;
-use by guests in hotels, motels and other residential settings;
-bed and breakfasts.
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* (see the Assembly instruction sheet).
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.
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 Building-in instruction sheet attached to the documentation)
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 piping.
Do not use old piping.
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.
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.
Connecting the water outlet hose
Connect the outlet hose (without bending it) to a drain duct with a minimum diameter of 4 cm.
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).
* Only available in selected models.
2
Anti-flooding protection
To ensure floods do not occur, the dishwasher:
- is fitted with a special system which blocks the water supply in the event of malfunctions or leaks from inside the appliance.
Some models are also equipped with the supplementary New Acqua Stop* safety device, 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, 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.
Anti-condensation strip*
After installing the dishwasher, open the door and stick the |
EN |
|
|
adhesive transparent strip under the wooden shelf in order to |
|
protect it from any condensation which may form. |
|
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). 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.

Loading the racks
Before loading the racks, remove all food residue from EN crockery and empty liquids from glasses and cups.
After loading the appliance, make sure that the sprayer arms can rotate freely.
Lower rack and cutlery basket
The lower rack can hold pans, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery, etc. Large plates and lids should ideally be placed at the sides of the rack.
Several 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 saucepans, salad bowls and frying pans.
The type of cutlery basket may vary (modular or non-modular) according to the dishwasher model. The non-modular basket must only be positioned at the front of the lower rack.
Both are fitted with grilles over the top, for improved cutlery arrangement.
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 tipup compartments on the upper rack.
* Only available in selected models. The number and position may vary.
Upper rack
Load this rack with delicate and lightweight crockery: glasses, cups, saucers and shallow salad bowls.
Adjustable position tip-up compartments
The tip-up compartments can be positioned at different heights, to optimise the arrangement of crockery throughout the rack. Wine glasses can be placed safely in the tip-up compartments, by inserting the stem of each glass into the corresponding slots.
Some dishwasher models are fitted with a sliding tray* which can be used to hold serving utensils or small cups. For optimum washing performance, avoid positioning bulky crockery directly below the tray.
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.
The height of the upper rack should ideally be adjusted WHEN THE RACK IS EMPTY.
NEVER raise 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 (IAA BECKHA).
If the rack is fitted with Dual Space handles (IAA BECKHA), pull out the upper rack until it reaches its stop point, grip the handles at the sides of the rack and move it upwards or downwards, then slowly let it fall back into place.
Items that should not be washed in the dishwasher
•Wooden items, objects with wooden or horn handles or gluedon parts.
•Items made from aluminium, copper, brass, pewter or tin.
•Items made from plastic material which is not heat-resistant.
•Antique or hand-painted porcelain.
•Antique silver. Silver that is not antique may, however, be washed in the dishwasher using a delicate wash cycle, provided that it does not come into contact with other metals.

|
|
which it was interrupted once the door has been shut or the |
|
|
electricity supply is restored. |
|
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 liquid and salt
should be used.
compartment A: Washing detergent compartment B: Pre-wash detergent
1. Open cover C by pressing
button D.
2. Pour in the detergent after
consulting the Table of wash cycles:
• For powder detergent: use compartments A and B.
• For detergent in tablet form: when the cycle requires 1 tablet, place it in compartment A and close the cover; when it requires 2, place
the second tablet at the bottom of the appliance.
3. Remove detergent residues from the edges of the compartment and close the cover until it clicks.
* Only available in selected models.

Notes:
optimum performance levels when using the “Daily wash” and “Rapid wash” cycles can be achieved by observing the maximum amounts of crockery specified.
* 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 less harmful to the environment.
Note for Test Laboratories: for information relating to comparative EN testing conditions, please send an email to the following address: ASSISTENZA_EN_LVS@indesitcompany.com
To make it easier to measure out the detergent, it is worth remembering that:
1 tablespoon = 15 g of powder = approximately 15 ml of liquid 1 teaspoon = 5 g of powder = approximately 5 ml of liquid

Rinse aid and refined salt
Only use products which have been specifically EN 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/symbols will 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* indicator light on the control panel/display is illuminated;
|
1. Open the dispenser by turning the |
|
lid (G) in an anticlockwise direction. |
|
2. Pour in the rinse aid, making sure it |
|
does not overflow from the dispenser. |
F |
If this happens, clean the spill |
G |
immediately with a dry cloth. |
|
3. Screw the lid back on. |
|
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 fitted 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 your local water supplier.
-Switch on the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF symbol.
-Press and hold the P symbol for approximately 5 seconds; the set hardness number will flash on the display (the water softening system is set by default to number 3) and h2o will appear.
-Press the P symbol repeatedly until the desired hardness level
has been reached (1-2-3-4-5* see Water hardness table).
- To exit the function, wait a few seconds or press one of the option symbols*, or switch off the machine using the ON/OFF symbol.
Even if using multi-functional tablets, the salt dispenser should still be filled.

(°dH = hardness measured in German degrees - °f = hardness measured in French degrees – mmol/l = millimoles per litre)
Loading 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.
•When the LOW RINSE AID* indicator light/symbol on the control panel/display is illuminated.
1.Remove the lower rack and unscrew the container cap (anticlockwise).
2.The first time you do this: fill the water
tank right up to its edge.
3. Position the funnel* correctly (see figure) and fill the salt dispenser up to the
edges (approximately 1 kg); it is normal for a little water to leak out.
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. (cap with 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.
* Only available in selected models.

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. |
|
|
To remove the upper sprayer arm, |
|
turn the plastic locking ring in an |
|
anti-clockwise direction. The upper |
|
sprayer arm should be replaced so |
|
that the side with the greater |
|
number of holes is facing upwards. |
|
The lower sprayer arm can be |
|
removed by pressing on the side |
|
tabs and pulling it upwards. |
Cleaning the water inlet filter* If the water hoses are new or have not been used for an 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.
Clean the water inlet filter at the tap outlet regularly.
- Turn off the water tap. |
EN |
|
-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).
4.Inspect the trap and remove any food residue. NEVER REMOVE
the wash cycle pump (black detail) (fig. 4).

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.
Leaving the machine unused for extended periods
•Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply and shut off the water tap.
•Leave the door of the appliance ajar.
•When you return, run a wash cycle when the dishwasher is empty.
* Only available in selected models.

Precautions and advice
The appliance was designed and manufactured in
EN 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 should not be operated by people (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capacities, or by inexperienced people who are not familiar with the product, unless supervision is provided by someone who assumes responsibility for their safety.
•An adult must supervise children at all times, to prevent children from playing with the appliance.
•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: it can become a choking or suffocation hazard.
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 (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* 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* option (see
Start-up and use) helps you organise the wash cycles accordingly.
Detergents free from phosphates and chlorine and 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.
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.
