Installation

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* (

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 (the angle of inclination must not exceed 2 degrees). 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. Adjust the height of the rear feet from the front of the appliance*: use a screwdriver to tighten or loosen the screws on the lower part of the dishwasher.

see the Assembly instruction

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 (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

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 provided 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.

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.

- is provided with a

words it has a water inlet hose that consists of a transparent hose on the outside and a red hose on the inside: both the hoses can withstand extremely high pressure. If the internal hose breaks, the external hose becomes a bright red colour and carries the water instead, thus avoiding any leakage.

It is very important to check the external hose regularly: if it is a bright red colour, it must be replaced by an authorised technician as soon as possible (

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*

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 (

Start-up and use

Starting the dishwasher

1. Turn the water tap on.

2. Open the door and press the ON/OFF button: the indicator light will illuminate.

3. Measure out the detergent (see below).

4. Load the racks (see Loading the racks).

5. Select the programme by pressing the WASH CYCLE SELECT button; the corresponding indicator light will illuminate.

6. Select the wash options (see below).

7. Start the wash cycle by shutting the door: the machine will emit a confirmation beep.

8. At the end of the cycle two short beeps will sound and the WASH CYCLE indicator light will flash. Open the door, switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button, shut off the water tap and unplug the appliance from the electricity socket.

9. Wait for a few minutes before removing the crockery, in order to avoid burns. Unload the racks, beginning with the lower level.

Modifying a wash cycle in progress

If a mistake was made during the wash cycle selection process it is possible to change the cycle, provided that it has only just begun: open the door, taking care to avoid the escaping steam, and press the WASH CYCLE SELECT button, holding it for 4 seconds. After one long beep and three short beeps, the WASH CYCLE indicator light will switch off: select the new wash cycle and start the programme by shutting the door.

Adding extra crockery

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.

Loading the detergent

A successful wash also depends on the correct amount of detergent being used, as recommended by the manufacturer. Exceeding the recommended amount does not result in a more effective wash and pollutes the environment.

Only use detergent which has been

specifically designed for dishwashers.

DO NOT USE washing up liquid.

To obtain the best results from each washing and drying cycle, powder detergent, rinse aid liquid and salt should be used.

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. If you do not add salt or rinse aid, the LOW SALT*

and LOW RINSE AID* indicator lights will flash continuously.

Loading 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:

• whenever the indicator light (H) signals that it is empty. Illuminated light: add rinse aid; unlit light: there is no shortage of rinse aid in the dispenser.

• when the LOW RINSE AID* indicator light on the panel flashes;

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. If this happens, clean the spill immediately with a dry cloth.

3. Screw the lid back on.

1. Remove the lower rack and unscrew the cap of the dispenser (in an anti-clockwise direction).

2. For the first wash cycle only: fill the dispenser up to the edges with water.

3. Position the funnel* provided

correctly ( dispenser up to the edges (approximately 2 kg); it is normal for a little water to leak out.

4. Remove the funnel*, wipe away any salt residue from the thread and screw the cap on tightly, so that detergent does not leak into the dispenser during the wash cycle (this could damage the water softening system 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.

) and fill the salt

Adjusting the amount of salt*

It is possible to adjust the amount of salt used according to the hardness of the water in your area (this information is available from your local water board).

1. Unscrew the dispenser cap.

2. Turn the arrow on the neck of the dispenser ( symbols, using the table below as a guide.

see figure

) towards the + or -

Adjusting the amount of rinse aid

If you are not completely satisfied with the washing or drying results, you may adjust the quantity of rinse aid used. Use a screwdriver to turn the dosage adjuster to one of the 6 pre-set positions (the default position is set to 4):

• if there are bluish streaks on the crockery, set the adjuster to a lower number (1-3).

• if drops of water remain on the crockery or there are limescale marks present after the cycle has finished, set the adjuster to a higher number (4-6).

If you are using multi-functional tablets and you wish to

further improve the drying performance of the appliance, fill the dispenser and set the dosage adjuster to 2.

Loading the refined salt

In order to obtain the best possible results from 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 ( filled:

• when the green float* cannot be seen by simply looking at the cap of the salt dispenser;

• when the LOW SALT* indicator light on the panel flashes;

• if your machine is not equipped with an indicator light or a
