End of cycle
At the end of the washing cycle the
dishwasher gives a short acustic signal and
the programme indicators nr 4 and 5 start
blinking (the word "end" is displayed on the
window).
To save on energy! … and
protect the environment
- Always try to run the dishwasher
fully loaded.
- Do not wash the dishes in running
water.
- Use the washing programme that is
most appropriate for each type of
load.
- Do not carry out any preliminary
rinsing.
- If available, connect the dishwasher
to a hot water supply up to 60°C.
To cut down on detergent
consumption! … and protect
the environment
The phosphates contained in
dishwasher detergents are harmful
to the environment. To avoid using
excessive amounts of detergent and
to save on electricity, observe the
following:
- separate the more delicate items
from dishes that are more resistant
to aggressive detergents and high
temperatures;
- do not pour the detergent directly
on the dishes.
To switch off the dishwasher, open the
door and press the ON/OFF button (1).
Removing the dishes
At the end of the washing programme, wait
at least 20 minutes before removing the
dishes, to allow them to cool down. To
prevent any water droplets on the upper
basket from falling on the dishes in the
lower basket, it is advisable to unload the
lower basket first, and then the upper
basket.

Before using your dishwasher for the first
time:
• Ensure that the electrical and water
connections comply with the installation
instructions
• Remove all packaging from inside the
appliance
• Set the water softener level
• Pour 1 litre of water into the salt container

(see "Multi tab function").
The water softener
The dishwasher is equipped with a water
softener designed to remove minerals and
salts from the water supply, which would
have a detrimental or adverse effect on the
operation of the appliance.
The higher the content of these minerals
and salts, the harder your water is. Water
hardness is measured in equivalent scales,
Clarke degrees, French degrees (°TH) and
mmol/l (millimol per litre - international
unit for the hardness of water).
The softener should be adjusted according
to the hardness of the water in your area.
Your local Water Authority can advise you
on the hardness of the water in your area.

Adjusting the water
Filling with dishwasher
softening system
(available in all programmes except the
soak programme)
For the setting below to be possible,
a washing programme other than
the soak programme must be set.
Press the PROGRAMME DELAY button (8)
and keep it pressed until the preset value
appears followed by a full stop (normally
3.). Release the button then press it again in
succession to display the value required,
referring to the table.
The 6 setting levels available will appear in
this order:
3., 4., 5., 0., 1., 2..
When the value required appears on the
diplay, release the button; after 5 seconds
the system automatically returns to setting
of the programme delay, and the setting will
be made with the chosen value.
The display shows the water
hardness setting and the programme
delay. The dot (.) after the number
indicates that the water hardness
setting is being displayed. If the dot
(.) does not appear, the programme
delay is being displayed.
salt
Warning!
designed for use in dishwashers. All
other types of salt not specifically
designed for use in a dishwasher,
especially table salt, will damage the
water softener. Only fill with salt
just before starting one of the
complete washing programmes. This
will prevent any grains of salt or salty
water, which may have been spilt,
remaining on the bottom of the
machine for any period of time,
which may cause corrosion.
To fill:
1. Open the door, remove the lower basket
and unscrew the cap of the salt
container by turning it anticlockwise.
2. Pour 1 litre of water into the container
(this is necessary only before filling
with salt for the first time).
3. Using the funnel provided, pour in the
salt until the container is full.
Only use salt specifically
4. Replace the cap making sure that there is
no trace of salt on the screw thread or
on the gasket.
12
5. Replace the cap tightly turning it
clockwise until it stops with a click.
Do not worry if water overflows
from the unit when filling with salt,
this is quite normal.
The salt indicator light on the
control panel can remain on for 2-6
hours after the salt has been
replenished, assuming the
dishwasher remains switched on. If
you are using salt that takes longer
to dissolve then this can take longer.
The operation of the machine is not
affected.
Filling with rinse aid
2. Add the rinse aid in the container. The
maximum level for filling is indicated by
"max". The dispenser holds about 110
ml of rinse aid, which is sufficient for
between 16 and 40 dishwashing cycles,
depending upon the dosage setting.
Warning!
aid for dishwashers. Never fill the
rinse aid dispenser with any other
substances (e.g. dishwasher cleaning
agent, liquid detergent). This would
damage the appliance.
Rinse aid ensures thorough rinsing,
and spot and streak free drying.
Rinse aid is automatically added
during the last rinse.
1. Open the container by pressing the
release button (A).
Only use branded rinse
3. Ensure that the lid is closed after every
refill.
Clean up any rinse aid spilt during
filling with an absorbent cloth to
avoid excess foaming during the next
wash.
13
Adjusting the rinse aid
dosage
According to the finish and drying results
obtained, adjust the dose of rinse aid by
turning the dispenser's selector to the
desired position (min-max): the amount of
rinse aid dispensed is proportional to the
selector position.
The dose is factory set in medium position.
Increase the dose if there are drops of
water or lime spots on the dishes after
washing.
Reduce it if there are sticky whitish streaks
on the dishes or a bluish film on glassware
or knife blades.

• Items made from synthetics fibres.
• Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it is
specially marked as being dishwasher-safe by
the manufacturer.
• Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed
frequently.
• Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to
discolour during washing: Residues, e.g. egg
white, egg yolk and mustard often cause
discolouring and staining on silver. Therefore
always clean left-overs from silver immediately,
if it is not to be washed straight after use.
• Check if it's necessary to refill with
dishwasher salt or rinse aid.
• Open the door and slide out the baskets to
load the dishes.
• Load cutlery and dishes into the
dishwasher.
• Fill with dishwasher detergent.
• Select a wash programme suitable for the
cutlery and dishes.
• Start the wash programme.
Loading cutlery and dishes
Sponges, household cloths and any object
that can absorb water may not be washed
in the dishwasher.
• Before loading the dishes, you should:
– Remove all left over food and debris.
– Soften remnants of burnt food in pans
• When loading the dishes and cutlery,
please note:
– Dishes and cutlery must not impede the
rotation of the spray arms.
– Load hollow items such as cups, glasses,
pans, etc. with the opening downwards
so that water cannot collect in the
container or a deep base.
– Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie
inside one another or cover each other.
– To avoid damage to glasses, they must
not touch.
– Lay small objects in the cutlery basket.
• Plastic items and pans with non stick
coatings have a tendency to retain water
drops; these items will not dry as well as
porcelain and steel items.
• Light items (plastic bowls etc.) must be
loaded in the upper basket and arranged
so they do not move.

Using the baskets
Tilting supports
Loading examples:
The dishwasher has a capacity of 10 placesettings, including serving dishes.
Lower basket
The lower basket receives the full force of
the lower spray arm, and should therefore
be used for the "toughest" items with a
heavier degree of soiling.
All types and combinations of loads are
permitted, provided that the dishes, pots
and pans are arranged with all the soiled
surfaces exposed to the water jets coming
from the bottom.
The bottom basket is fitted with supports
which can be lowered to make better use
of the space available.
Loading the lower basket
Carefully load flat plates, soup plates,
dessert and serving dishes, positioning them
vertically. Pots, pans and their covers must
be loaded upside down. When loading soup
plates and dessert bowls, be sure to leave a
gap between them.

cutlery, except those long enough to
interfere with the upper spray arm. Ladles,
wooden spoons and cooking knives can be
placed in the upper basket,
making sure
that the knife blades do not protrude
from the basket.
The cutlery basket features an
exclusive
system of independent sliding tip-up
supports,
offering a choice of possible
combinations to allow optimum use of the

Upper basket
Loading examples:
It is recommended to load the upper basket
with small- or medium-sized items such as
glasses, small plates, tea or coffee cups,
shallow bowls and light objects made from
heat resistant plastic. If the upper basket is
used in the lowermost position, it can also
be loaded with serving dishes, provided
they are only slightly soiled.
The basket is equipped with two tip-up
cutlery supports which can be raised or
lowered as required. See illustrations
below.
Loading the upper basket
Load plates facing forward; cups, bowls etc.
must always be facing downwards. The lefthand side of the basket can be loaded with
two layers of cups and glasses. On the right

Use of detergent
Only use detergents specifically
designed for use in dishwashers.
Please observe the manufacturer’s
dosing and storage
recommendations as stated on the
detergent packaging.
Using no more than the correct
amount of detergent contributes to
reducing pollution.
Fill with detergent
1. Open the lid.
2. Fill the detergent dispenser (1) with
detergent. The marking indicates the
dosing levels:
20 = approximately 20 g of detergent
30 = approximately 30 g of detergent
19
3. All programmes with prewash need an
additional detergent dose (5/10 g) that
must be placed in the prewash
detergent chamber (2). This detergent
will be used during the prewash phase.
When using detergent tablets; place the
tablet in compartment (1).
Detergent tablets
Detergent tablets from different
manufacturers dissolve at different
rates. For this reason, some
detergent tablets do not attain their
full cleaning power during short
washing programmes. Therefore,
please use long washing programmes
when using detergent tablets, to
ensure the complete removal of
detergent residuals.
Multi tab function
This appliance is equipped with the Multi
tab function, that allows the use of combi
detergent tablets.
These products are detergents with a
combined cleaning, rinsing and salt
functions.
They can also contain other different agents
depending on which kind of tablets you
choose ("3 in 1", "4 in 1", "5 in 1" etc...).
Check whether these detergents are
suitable for your water hardness. See the
manufacturers instructions.
Once this function is selected it will remain
active for all following wash programmes.
With the selection of this function the
inflow of rinse aid and salt from each
respective supply container is automatically
deactivated and also the indicator lights for
salt and rinse aid are deactivated.
When using the Multi tab function, the
cycle durations may change. If this is the
case, the running time for the programme is
automatically updated on the digital display.
20
Activate/deactivate the Multi tab
function before the start of a
washing programme.
Once the programme is running, the
Multi tab function can NO longer be
changed. If you want to cancel the
Multi tab function you have to cancel
the programme setting and then

Cleaning the filters
• The central filter H should be inspected
regularly and cleaned if necessary. To
remove it, take hold of the handle, turn
anti-clockwise and lift.
• Press the central filter H from below to
extract it from the micro-filter.
• Separate the two parts of the plastic filter
by pressing the body of the filter in the
zone shown by the arrows.
• Remove the central filter by lifting it.
NEVER use the dishwasher
without filters.
Incorrect repositioning and fitting of
the filters will produce poor washing
results and will result in damage to
the appliance.
External cleaning
Clean the external surfaces of the machine
and control panel with a damp soft cloth. If
necessary use only neutral detergents.
Never use abrasive products, scouring pads
or solvent (acetone, trichloroethylene
etc...).
Internal cleaning
Ensure that the seals around the door, the
detergent and rinse aid dispensers are
cleaned regularly with a damp cloth.
We recommend every 3 months you run
the wash programme for heavy soiled
dishes using detergent but without dishes.
Prolonged periods of nonoperation
If you are not using the machine for a
prolonged period of time you are advised
to:
1. Unplug the appliance and then turn off
the water.
2. Leave the door ajar to prevent the
formation of any unpleasant smells.
3. Leave the inside of the machine clean.
Frost precautions
Avoid placing the machine in a location
where the temperature is below 0°C. If this
is unavoidable, empty the machine, close
the appliance door, disconnect the water
inlet pipe and empty it.
Moving the machine
If you have to move the machine (moving
house, etc...):
1. Unplug it.
2. Turn the water tap off.
3. Remove the water inlet and discharge
hoses.
4. Pull the machine out together with the
hoses.
Avoid over tilting the machine during
transportation.

The dishwasher will not start or stops
during operation. Certain problems are due
to the lack of simple maintenance or
oversights, which can be solved with the
help of the indications described, without
calling out an engineer.
Switch off the appliance and carry out the
following suggested corrective actions.
Important!
If you call out an
engineer to a fault listed below, or
to repair a fault caused by incorrect
use or installation, a charge will be
made even if the appliance is under
guarantee.
Warning!
Any operations
performed on the appliance by
unauthorised persons are not
covered by the warranty and shall be
paid for by the user.
If an alarm occurs the appliance interrupts
the programme in progress and signals a
fault.
• Alarms E1, E2, E3, E4, E8 and E9 interrupt
the current programme immediately.
• The E5, E6 alarms interrupts the running
programme once the cause is resolved, it
will bring bach the execution of the
programme.
• The alarm E7 is visualized at the end of the
cycle that comes, however, brought to the
end since the operation of the dishwasher
is not harmed.
The dishwasher is capable of signalling a
number of faults through the simultaneous
illumination of several indicator lights, with
the following meanings:

Troubleshooting minor
problems
In some cases it is possible to remedy
minor problems by referring to the
following instructions:
If the programme fails to start,
check that:
• the dishwasher is connected to the
electrical power supply;
• there is no power failure;
• the water tap is open;
• the dishwasher door is properly closed.
If water remains inside the
dishwasher, check that:
• the drain hose is not kinked;
• the drain siphon is not obstructed;
• the dishwasher filters are not clogged.
If the dishes are not being cleaned
properly, check that:
• the correct amount of detergent has been
added;
• there is regenerating salt inside the special
container;
• the dishes are being loaded correctly;
• the selected programme is suitable for the
dish types and their degree of soiling;
• all the filters are clean and positioned
correctly;
• the spray arm nozzles are not obstructed;
• there is no object obstructing the rotation
of the spray arms.
If the dishes fail to dry or remain
dull, check that:
• there is rinse aid inside the special
container;
• the rinse aid dispenser setting is correct;
• the detergent used is of good quality and
has not lost its effectiveness (for example,
through incorrect storage, with the box
left open).
If the dishes show signs of
streaking, staining, etc., check
that:
• the rinse aid dispenser setting is not too
high.
If there are visible traces of rust
inside the tank:
• the tank is made of steel, and therefore any
rust marks are due to external elements
(fragments of rust from the water pipes,
pots, cutlery, etc.). Special products are
commercially available to remove such
marks;
• check that the amount of detergent being
used is correct. Certain detergents can be
more corrosive than others;
• check that the cap of the salt container is
securely closed, and that the water
softening setting is correct.

Fitting under a counter
(Kitchen worktop or sink)
To build in the dishwasher, the special kit
must be purchased from authorised dealers
or the After-Sales Service.
By removing the machine’s worktop, you
can install it under a close fitting sink unit or
a preexisting top, providing the dimensions
of the recess correspond to those shown in
the picture.
26
Proceed as follows:
Remove the machine’s worktop by
unscrewing the two rear retaining screws
(1), pull the worktop from the back of the
machine (2) and slide out the front slots,
lifting the worktop (3).
Insert the machine after adjusting the
levelling with the adjustable feet. When
inserting the machine, ensure that the
water inlet and drain hoses are not kinked
or squashed.
During all operations that involve
accessibility to internal components the
dishwasher has to be unplugged.
Be sure that once the appliance has been
installed, it is easily accessible for the
service engineer in the event that a repair is
required.
If the dishwasher is later used as a freestanding appliance, the original worktop
must be re-mounted.
The plinth on free-standing appliances is not
adjustable.
Levelling
Good levelling is essential for correct
closure and sealing of the door. When the
appliance is correctly levelled, the door will
not catch on either side of the cabinet. If
the door does not close correctly, loosen
or tighten the adjustable feet until the
machine is perfectly level.

Water connections
Water inlet connection
This appliance must be connected to a cold
water supply.
For making the connection itself, the
coupling nut fitted to the machine’s inlet
hose is designed to screw onto a 3/4" gas
thread spout or to a purpose made quickcoupling tap such as the Press-block.
The water pressure must be within the
limits given in the "Technical data". Your
local Water Authority will advise you on
the average mains pressure in your area.
The water inlet hose must not be kinked,
crushed, or entangled when it is being
connected.
The appliance features inlet and drain hoses
which can be turned either to the left or
the right to suit the installation by means of
the locknut.
correctly fitted to avoid water leaks.
(Attention! NOT all models of dishwashers
have inlet and drain hoses provided with a
locknut.) If the appliance is connected to
new pipes or pipes which have not been
used for a long time, you should run the
water for a few minutes before connecting
the inlet hose.
The locknut must be
DO NOT use connection hoses which
have previously been used on an old
appliance.
This appliance has been fitted with
safety features which will prevent
the water used in the appliance from
returning back into the drinking
water system. This appliance
complies with the applicable
plumbing regulations.
The dishwasher can also be
connected to a hot water supply not
exceeding 60°C. Supplying the
appliance with hot water cuts down
the washing time by approximately
20 minutes, but slightly reduces its
effectiveness. Make the connection
to the domestic hot water supply
using the same procedure described
for connecting to the cold water
supply.
28
Water drain connection
The end of the drain hose can be
connected in the following ways:
1. To the sink outlet spigot, securing it to
the underside of the work surface. This
will prevent waste water from the sink
running into the machine.
2. To a stand pipe provided with venthole,
minimum internal diameter 4 cm.
The waste connection must be at a height
of between 30 cm (minimum) and 100 cm
(maximum) from the bottom of the
dishwasher.
The drain hose can face either to the right
or left of the dishwasher.
Ensure the drain hose is not bent or
squashed as this could prevent or slow
down the discharge of water.
The sink plug must not be in place when the
machine is draining as this could cause the
water to syphon back into the machine.
If you use a drain hose extension it must be
no longer than 2 metres and its internal
diameter must be no smaller than the
diameter of the hose provided.
Likewise the internal diameter of the
couplings used for connections to the
waste outlet must be no smaller than the
diameter of the hose provided.
When connecting the drain hose to
an under sink trap spigot,
entire plastic membrane (A)
must be removed.
remove all the membrane will result
in food particles building up over
time eventually blocking the
dishwasher drain hose spigot.
Our appliances are supplied with a
security device to protect against
the return of dirty water back into
the machine. If the spigot of your
sink has a "no return valve"
incorporated this can prevent the
correct draining of your dishwasher.
We therefore advise you to remove
it. When connecting the drain hose
to an under sink trap spigot, the
entire plastic membrane (A) must
be removed. Failure to remove all
the membrane will result in food
particles building up over time
eventually blocking the dishwasher
drain hose spigot.
