Installation

ATTENTION: 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.
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
• Run the water until it is perfectly clear.
• Screw the inlet hose tightly into position and turn on 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 or compressed.
SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE CONNECTION OF THE WATER SUPPLY HOSE:
WATER SUPPLY cold or hot (max. 60°C)
WATER INTAKE 3/4”
POWER OF WATER PRESSURE
0,05 ÷ 1MPa (0.5 ÷ 10 bar) 7,25 – 145 psi
CONNECTING THE WATER OUTLET HOSE
Connect the outlet hose to a drain duct with a mini­mum diameter of 2 cm A The outlet hose connection must be at a height rang­ing from 40 to 80 cm from the floor or surface where the dishwasher rests.
Before connecting the water outlet hose to the sink drain, remove the plastic plug B.
ANTI-FLOODING PROTECTION
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 Aqua Stop, which guaran­tees anti-flooding protection even in the event of a supply hose rupture. Under no circumstances should the water inlet hose be cut as it contains live electrical parts.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
WARNING: Under no circumstances
should the water inlet hose be cut as it con­tains live electrical parts.
Before inserting the plug into the electrical socket, make sure that:
• The socket is earth 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 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION).
• 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 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.

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.

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.

First time use

ADVICE REGARDING THE FIRST TIME USE
After the installation, remove the stoppers from the racks and the retaining elastic elements from the upper rack.
WATER SOFTENER SETTINGS
Before starting the first wash program, set the hard­ness level of the water from the mains supply FILL- ING THE SALT RESERVOIR. 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 program without loading. The “Pre-wash” program alone is NOT sufficient. Residual saline solution or grains of salt can lead to deep-down corrosion, irreparably damaging the stainless steel components. The guarantee is not applicable if faults are caused by such circumstances.
Only use salt that has been specifically designed for dishwashers.
After the salt has been poured into the machine, the SALT REFILL indicator light switches off.
If the salt container is not filled, the water soften­er and the heating element may be damaged as a result.
REFINED SALT AND RINSE AID
If you are using a multi-function product, we rec­ommend that you add salt in any case, especially if the water is hard or very hard (follow the in-
structions given on the packaging).
If you do not add salt or rinse aid, the SALT RE­FILL and RINSE AID REFILL indicator lights will remain lit.
FILLING THE SALT RESERVOIR
The use of salt prevents the formation of LIMES­CALE on the dishes and on the machine’s functional components.
• It is important that the salt reservoir be never empty.
• It is important to set the water hardness.
The salt reservoir is located in the lower part of the dishwasher (see PROGRAMS DESCRIPTION) and should be filled when the SALT REFILL indicator
light
in the control panel is lit.

1. Remove the lower rack and unscrew the reservoir cap (anticlockwise).

2. Only the first time you do this: fill the with water.
3. Position the funnel
(see figure)
edge (approximately 1 kg); it is not unusual for a little water to leak out.

4. Remove the funnel and wipe any salt residue away from the opening.

Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly, so that no detergent can get into the container during the wash program (this could damage the water softener be­yond repair).
Whenever you need to add salt, it is mandatory to complete the procedure before the beginning of the washing cycle.
SETTING THE WATER HARDNESS
To allow the water softener to work in a perfect way, it is essential that the water hardness setting is based on the actual water hardness in your house. This infor­mation can be obtained from your local water supplier. The factory setting is for average (3) water hardness.
• Switch on the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF
button.
• Switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF
button.
• Hold down button P for 5 seconds, until you hear
a beep.
• Switch on the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF
button.
• The current selection level number and the salt
indicator light both flash.
• Press button P to select the desired hardness level
(see WATER HARDNESS TABLE).

Rinse aid makes dish DRYING easier. The rinse aid dispenser A should be filled when the RINSE AID
REFILL indicator light
in the control panel is lit.

1. Open the dispenser B by pressing and pulling up the tab on the lid.

2. Carefully introduce the rinse aid as far as the maximum (110 ml) reference notch of the filling space - avoid spilling it. If this happens, clean the spill immediately with a dry cloth.

3. Press the lid down until you hear a click to close it.

NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the tub.
ADJUSTING THE DOSAGE OF RINSE AID
If you are not completely satisfied with the drying re­sults, you can adjust the quantity of rinse aid used.
• Switch the dishwasher on using the ON/OFF
button.
• Switch it off using the ON/OFF button.
• Press button P three times - a beep will be heard.
• Switch it on using the ON/OFF button.
• The current selection level number and rinse aid
indicator light flash.
• Press button P to select the level of rinse aid
quantity to be supplied.
• Switch it off using the ON/OFF button
Setting is complete! If the rinse aid level is set to ZERO (ECO), no rinse aid will be supplied. The LOW RINSE AID indicator light will not be lit if you run out of rinse aid. A maximum of 5 levels can be set according to the dishwasher model. The factory setting is specific to the model, please follow instruction above to check this for your machine.
• If you see bluish streaks on the dishes, set a low
number (1-2).
• If there are drops of water or lime scale marks on
the dishes, set a high number (3-4).
FILLING THE DETERGENT DISPENSER
Only use detergent which has been specifically de­signed for dishwashers. DO NOT USE washing up liquid. Using excessive detergent may result in foam res­idues remaining in the machine after the cycle has ended.
To achieve the best washing and drying results, the combined use of detergent, rinse aid liquid and re­fined salt is required. We recommend using detergents that do not contain phosphates or chlorine, as these products are harmful to the environment. Good washing results also depend on the correct amount of detergent being used. Exceeding the stated amount does not result in a more effective wash and increases environmental pollution. The amount can be adjusted to the soil level. In the case of normally soiled items, use approxi­mately either 35g (powder detergent) or 35ml (liquid detergent) and additional tea spoon of detergent di­rectly inside the tub. If tablets are used, one tablet will be enough. If the crockery is only lightly soiled or if it has been rinsed with water before being placed in the dish­washer, reduce the amount of detergent used accord­ingly (minimum 25 g/ml) e.g. skip the powder/gel putted inside the tub. For good washing results also follow the instructions shown on the detergent box. For further questions please ask the detergent producers.
To open the detergent dispenser press button A. Introduce the detergent into the dry dispenser B only.

quantity. Inside the dispenser
there are
indications to help the detergent dosing.

2. Remove detergent residues from the edges of the dispenser and close the cover until it clicks.

3. Close the lid of the detergent dispenser by pulling it up until the closing device is secured in place.

The detergent dispenser automatically opens up at the right time according to the program. If all-in-one detergents are used, we recommend us­ing the TABLET button, because it adjusts the pro­gram so that the best washing and drying results are always achieved.

Loading the racks

Before loading the baskets, remove all food residues from the crockery and empty the glasses. You do not need to rinse beforehand under running water.
Arrange the crockery so that it is held in place firmly and does not tip over; and arrange the containers with the openings facing downwards and the concave/convex parts placed obliquely, thus allowing the water to reach every surface and flow freely. Warning: lids, handles, trays and frying pans do not prevent the sprayer arms from rotating. Place any small items in the cutlery basket. Very soiled dishes and pans should be placed in the lower basket because in this sector the water sprays are stronger and allow a higher washing performance. After loading the appliance, make sure that the sprayer arms can rotate freely.
UPPER RACK
Load delicate and light dishes: glasses, cups, saucers, low salad bowls. The upper rack has tip-up supports which can be used in a vertical position when arranging tea/ dessert sau­cers or in a lower position to load bowls and food containers.
(loading example for the upper rack)
ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE UPPER RACK
The height of the upper rack can be adjusted: high position to place bulky crockery in the lower basket and low position to make the most of the tip-up sup­ports by creating more space upwards and avoid col­lision with the items loaded into lower rack. The upper rack is equipped with a Upper Rack height adjuster (see figure), without pressing the levers, lift it up by simply holding the rack sides, as soon as the rack is stable in its upper position. To restore to the lower position, press the levers A at the sides of the rack and move the basket downwards.
FOLDABLE FLAPS WITH ADJUSTABLE POSITION
The side foldable flaps can be positioned at three dif­ferent heights to optimize the arrangement of crock­ery inside the rack. Wine glasses can be placed safely in the foldable flaps by inserting the stem of each glass into the cor­responding slots. For optimum drying results incline the foldable flaps more. To change the inclination, pull up the foldable flap, slide it slightly and position it as you wish.
We strongly recom­mend that you do not adjust the height of the rack when it is loaded. NEVER raise or lower the basket on one side only.

The lower rack has tip-up supports which can be used in a vertical position when arranging plates or in a horizontal position (lower) to load pans and salad bowls easily.

CUTLERY BASKET

The modular basket can slide to optimise the space inside the lower rack. It is equipped with top grilles 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 tip-up compartments on the upper rack.

Switch the machine back on using the ON/OFF but­ton and select the new wash cycle and any desired options; start the cycle by closing the door.

ADDING EXTRA CROCKERY

Without switching off the machine, open the door (be ware of HOT steam!) and place the crockery in­side the dishwasher. Close the door and the cycle will begin 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 closed or the electricity supply is re­stored.

Tips

UNSUITABLE CROCKERY
• Wooden crockery and cutlery.
• Delicate decorated glasses, artistic handicraft and antique crockery. Their decorations are not resistant.
• Parts in synthetic material which do not with­stand high temperatures.
• Copper and tin crockery.
• Crockery soiled with ash, wax, lubricating grease or ink.
The colours of glass decorations and aluminium/silver pieces can change and fade during the washing process. Some types of glass (e.g. crystal objects) can become opaque after a number of wash cycles too.
DAMAGE TO GLASS AND CROCKERY
• Only use glasses and porcelain guaranteed by the manufacturer as dishwasher safe.
• Use a delicate detergent suitable for crockery to avoid white strips on the glass use.
• Collect glasses and cutlery from the dishwasher as soon as the wash cycle is over.
HYGIENE
To avoid odour and sediment which can be accumu­lated in the dishwasher please run a high temperature program at least one a month. Use a tea spoon of de­tergent and run it without the loading to clean your appliance.

ATTENTION: Always unplug the appliance when cleaning it and when performing maintenance work. Do not use flammable liquids to clean the machine.
CLEANING THE DISHWASHER
Any marks on the inside of the appliance may be re­moved using a cloth dampened with water and a little vinegar. The external surfaces of the ma­chine and the control panel can be cleaned using a non-abrasive cloth which has been dampened with wa­ter. Do not use solvents or abrasive products.
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 FILTER ASSEMBLY
Regularly clean the filter assembly so that the filters do not clog and that the waste water flows away correctly. The filter assembly consists of three filters which re­move food residues from the washing water and then recirculate the water: to obtain the best washing re­sults, you need to keep them clean.
The dishwasher must 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 A in an anti-clockwise direction and pull it out
2. Remove the cup filter pressure on the side flaps
3. Slide out the stainless-steel plate filter
4. Inspect the trap and remove any food residues.
NEVER REMOVE
protection (black detail)
After cleaning the filters, re-place the filter assembly and fix it in position correctly; this is essential for maintaining the efficient operation of the dishwasher.

CHEKING THE WATER SUPPLY HOSE
Check the inlet hose regularly for brittleness and cracks. If damaged, replace it by a new hose available through our After-Sales Service or your specialist dealer. Depending on the hose type:
If the inlet hose has a transparent coating, periodical­ly check if the colour intensifies locally. If yes, the hose may have a leak and should be replaced. For water stop hoses: check the small safety valve in­spection window (see arrow). If it is red, the water stop function was triggered, and the hose must be re­placed by a new one. For unscrewing this hose, press the release button while unscrewing the hose.
.
.
15
CLEANING THE SPRAY ARMS
On occasions, food residue may become encrusted onto the spray arms and block the holes used to spray the water. It is therefore recommended that you check the arms from time to time and clean them with a small non-metallic brush. To remove the upper spray arm, turn the plastic lock­ing ring in an anti-clockwise direction. The upper spray arm should be replaced so that the side with the greater number of holes is facing upwards.
The lower spray arm may be removed by pulling it upwards.
CLEANING THE WATER INLET HOSE
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.
