2. Installation and hook-up
Remove the polystyrene basket retainers. Position the appliance in the desired place of installation. The back or sides of the dishwasher may be placed up against walls or other furniture units. If the dishwasher is installed near a heat source, fit the special insulating panel to prevent overheating and malfunction of the appliance. To ensure stability, install integrated or built-under dishwashers only under continuous worktops, and screw them to the adjacent units. To facilitate the installation procedure, the intake and drain hoses can be positioned in an y directio n; make sure t hat the h oses are not kinked, crushed or pulled too tightly. Make sure to tighten the locking ring-nut once the pipes have been placed in the direction requ ired. A hole at least 8 cm in diameter is required to allow the power supply cable and pipes to pass.
Level the appliance on the floor using its adjustable feet. This operation is essential for ensuring correct operation of the dishwasher.
Building-in a dishwasher underneath a ceramic hob is absolutely forbidden.
A dishwasher can be built-in underneath a conventional hob provided there is no break in the kitchen worktop, and the dishwasher and hob are installed and secured correctly, so that no hazards are generated.
When installing the dishwasher in a compartment next to one or more other appliances, it is essential to comply with all the recommendations provided by the appliance’s manufacturer (minimum distances, installation procedures, etc.).
For free-standing models only:
- Installing a hob on top of a free-standing dishwasher is absolutely forbidden.
- If the appliance is not built-in and is therefore accessible on on side, the door hinge area must be covered for sa fety reasons (injury hazard). The covering fixtures are available as an accessory from specialist dealers or the After-Sales Service.
- To build in the dishwasher, the special kit must be purchased from authorised dealers or the After-Sales Service.
Some models are equipped with only one adjustable foot at the rear, which can be adjusted by turning the screw on the lower front part of the appliance.

2.1 Water supply connection
Preventing the risk of clogging or damage: if the water pipe is new or
has not been used for a long time, before connecting to the w ater supply check that the water is clear and free of impurities, to prevent damage to the appliance.
The dishwasher must always be connected to the water system with new hoses; old or used hoses must never be reused.
CONNECTING TO THE WATER SUPPLY
Connect the intake hose to a cold water supply with ¾” gas thread, inserting the filter A supplied with the dishwasher. Take care to screw the hose firmly into
place with your hands and then complete by tightening about ¼ of a turn with pliers.
In dishwashers equipped with the ACQUASTOP device, the filters is already fitted inside the threaded ring.
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 conn ecting to th e cold water supply .
DRAIN CONNECTION
Insert the dishwasher’s drain hose into a drain pipe having a diameter of at least 4 cm, or alternatively, place it inside the kitchen sink using the plastic support provided, taking care not to crush or excessively bend the hose. It is important to prevent the hose from coming loose and falling. For this purpose, the plastic support is equipped with a hole for tying it to the wall or water tap.
The free end should be positioned at a height of between 30 and 100 cm, and should never be submerged in water. If a horizontal drain extension hose is used (for a maximum of 3 m) the drain hose can be placed at a maximum height of 85 cm from the ground.

3.2 Washing programs
The dishwasher is equipped with a control panel, described in chapter
"3. Description of the controls", from which it is possible to carry out all the power switch-on, switch-off and programming operations.
Before starting a washing program make sure that:
The water supply tap is open.
The correct amount of detergent has been added to the
dispenser.
The baskets have been correctly loaded.
The spray arms are able to rotate freely and without
obstruction.
The dishwasher door is securely closed.
LIGHTING When the ON/OFF button (1) is pressed, the dishwasher switches on and the light (6) comes on. About 2 seconds later, the
PHASES/PROGRAM lights (10) will come on.
PROGRAMMING

SELECTION PROGRAM
The program selection is possible through the relative buttons (2).
When the button relating to the program requir ed is pressed, the relative
light will come on to confirm the operation. To run programs 6, 7, 8 and 9 select the “main” program (2, 3, 4, or 5) and then press button P1 (soak), to activate the QUICK TIME function, which reduces the program’s length, with some increase in water and electricity consumption.
START PROGRAM
To start the dishwasher, press the START/PAUSE button (5) for a few seconds, until the light of the first phase of the selected program starts to flash (confirmation beep). This phase, that updates itself during the cycle, is “indicative” since it is influenced by the washing conditions such as dishwasher type and quantity, entry temperature etc. For this reason it is normal to see the updating during a program (increment and decrease of minutes) specially in the passage from one phase to the other (for e xample, from washing to rinse).
As the program runs, the PHASES/PROGRAM lights (10) will indicate the current cycle status.
The light of the phase in progress will flash, while the lights of the previous and subsequent phases remain on.
N.B. during execution of programs which do not include a prewash, the first PHASES/PROGRAM light (10) will remain off.
Page 15

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 program 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.
When possible, skip the drying cycle by leaving the door open when the washing cycle is complete; the air and the residual heat will dry the dishes perfectly.
TO CUT DOWN ON DETERGENT CONSUMPTION! … AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT
The phosphates contained in dishwa sher 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.
REMOVING THE DISHES
At the end of the washing program, 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.

4. Operating instructions
Once the dishwasher has been correctly installed, prepare for use as follows:
Adjust the water softening system;
Add the regenerating salt;
Add the rinse aid and detergent.
4.1 Using the water softening system
The amount of scale contained in the water (water hardness index) can cause whitish staining on the dry dishes, which tend to become dull over time. The dishwasher is equipped with an automatic softening system which uses a special regenerating salt to reduce the hardness of the water. The dishwasher is factory set for water hardness level 3 (average hardness
41-60°dF – 24-31°dH).
SALT
When using water of medium har dness, the regenerating salt container should be refilled after approximately 20 washing cycles. The salt container can hold approximately 1.7 Kg of salt in grains. The container is situated at the bottom of the dishwasher. After removing the lower basket, unscrew the salt container cap by turning it anticlockwise and pour in the salt using the funnel supplied with the dishwasher. Before replacing the cap, remove any salt residues from around the opening.
When using the dishwasher for the first time, in addition to the salt it is also necessary to add one litre of water to the container.
Each time the salt container is refilled, make sure that the cap is securely closed. The mixture of water and detergent must never
penetrate the salt container, as this would compromise the operation of the regeneration system. In the event of this occurring, the warranty will be invalidated.
Only use regenerating salt specially formulated for domestic dishwashers. If using salt tablets, do not fill the container completely.
Page 21
User instructions
Do not use table salt as it contains insoluble substances which, over time, may damage the water softening system.
When necessary, refill the regenerating salt container before starting the washing program. In this way, the excess saline
solution will be immediately removed by the water; the prolonged presence of salt water inside the tank may lead to corrosion.
Be careful not to confuse the salt and detergent packages; adding detergent to the salt container will damage the water softening system.
ADJUSTING THE WATER SOFTENING SYSTEM
The dishwasher is equipped with an device for the user to adjust the water softening system according to the hardness of the water supply.
According to the machine model, the selector which acts on the adjustment may be located:
inside the plastic locking ring located on the right-hand side, inside the dishwasher;
inside the water softener, just below the cap.
Both allow for adjustment to 5 settings:

4.2 Using the rinse aid and detergent dispensers
The detergent and rinse aid
dispensers are situated on the inner part of the door: the detergent
dispenser is on the left, and the rinse aid dispenser is on the right.
With the exception of the SOAK program, before every washing cycle it is necessary to add the required amount of detergent to the detergent dispenser. The rinse aid, on the other han d, should only be added as required.
Page 23
User instructions
ADDING THE RINSE AID
The rinse aid helps the dishes dry faster and prevents the formation of scale deposits and staining; it is automatically added to the water during the final rinse cycle, from the container situated on the inner side of the door.
To add rinse aid:
Open the door.
Rotate the container cap anticlockwise by ¼ of a turn and remove it.
Add the rinse aid until the container is full (approximately 140 cc).
The optical level indicator on the side of the cap should be completely obscured. Refill the rinse aid when the optical level indicator becomes clear again, or when the rinse aid warning light illuminates.
Replace the cover and turn it in a clockwise direction.
Use a cloth to remove any spillage of rinse aid which might lead to
the formation of excess foam.
ADJUSTING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER SETTING
The dishwasher is factory set for medium water hardness. However it possible to change the setting by turning the dispenser ’s selector to the desired position: the amount of rinse aid dispens ed is proportional to the selector position.
To adjust the rinse aid setting, rotate the dispenser cap through a quarter turn in an anticlockwise direction and remove it.
Then use a screwdriver to rotate the rinse aid selector to the des ire d position.
Replace the cap, turning it clockwise.
The amount of rinse aid must be increased if the washed dishes
appear dull or feature circular stains.
If, on the other hand, the dishes are sticky or have white streaks, it is necessary to reduce the rinse aid setting.

23
ADDING THE DETERGENT
To open the detergent dispenser cap, lightly press the button P. Add the detergent and close the cap carefully. During the washing cycle, the dispenser will be opened automatically.
When a program with hot prew ash is selected (see program table), extra detergent must be placed in the cavity G/H (depending on models).
Use only detergents specially formulated for dishwashers. For optimal washing results it is important to use a good quality detergent.
The detergent packs must be sealed and stored in a dry place to prevent the formation of lumps which may negatively affect washing results. Once opened the detergent packs should not be ke pt for too long, otherwise the detergent loses its effectiveness.
Do not use detergents formulated for washing dishes by hand, because they produce a great deal of foam and may negatively affect the operation of the dishwasher.
Add the correct amount of detergent. An insufficient amount of detergent will result in a partial removal of dirt from the dishes, whereas an excessive amount is wasteful and do es not improve the washing results.
Page 25
User instructions
The market offers liquid and powder detergents with differing chemical compositions, which may contain phosphates, or be phosphate-free but contain natural enzymes.
- Detergents containing phosphates are more effective against
grease and starch at temperatures above 60°C.
- Enzyme detergents, on the other hand, are also effective at lower temperatures (from 40 to 55°C) and are more easily biodegradable. With enzyme detergent s it is possible to obtain at low temperatures comparable results to those w hich can only be achieved at 65°C using traditional detergents.
For the safeguarding of the environment we recommend th e use of phosphate- and chlorine free detergents.
Also available are tablet detergents which state that that no salt o r rinse aid is required. In some cases, thes e detergents might not give good results, especially with short and/or low-temperature washing cycles. If performance problems (e.g. a white coati ng on the tank or dis hes, poor drying, dirt on dishes at the end of the wash) are noted, users are advised to return to conventional products (granular salt , pow der detergent and liquid rinse aid). However, please note that on return to the use of conventi onal salt, a number of cycles will be required before the system becomes fully efficient again, so traces of white coating may still be found on the tank and dishes. If the problem persists for too long, contact the After-Sales Service.
When using detergent in tablet form (bear in mind that we recommend the use of three separate products: deterge nt, salt and rinse aid), place the tablets in the cutlery rack. The dispenser is designed to use powder or liquid detergent and the door does not open completely during the washing cycle. This means that a tablet is not completely dissolved (released), which may lead to the following:
- not enough detergent rele ased duri ng the cycle, w ith poor washin g
results;
- the detergent forms a s olid block in the distributor and is re leased
during the final rinse cycle.
The introduction of detergent into the rinse aid d ispenser, even in liquid form, will damage the dishwasher.

4.3 General warnings and recommendations
Before using the dishwasher for the first time, it is advisab le to read the following recommendations concerning dish types to be washed and their loading. There are generally no constraints on the washing of domestic dishes, but in certain cases it is necessary to take their characteristics into account.
Before loading the dishes into the baskets it is necessary to:
remove coarse food remains: e.g. bones, fish-bones, etc. which may clog the filter or damage the wash pump.
soak any pots or pans with burnt-on food remains on the bottom to facilitate removal, then load them into the LOWER BASKET.
There is no need to pre-wash the dishes under running water before loading them into the baskets since this only wastes water.
Correct loading of the dishes helps ensure optimal washing results.
WARNING!
Make sure that the dishes are securely in place so that they cannot tip over or obstruct the rotation of the spray arms during the washing cycle.
Do not place very small objects in the baskets as these c ould fall and obstruct the spray arms or the wash pump.
Containers such as cups, bowls, glasses and pots should always be loaded with the opening facing downward s and with any cavities at an angle, to allow the water to drain out.
Do not stack dishes or place them in such a way that they cover one other.
Do not place glasses too close together because they may knock against each other and break, or there might be staining at the point where they touch.
MAKE SURE that the items being washed are dishwasher-safe.
Page 27
User instructions
Items which are not dishwasher-safe:
Wooden dishes, pots or pans: these may be damaged by the high washing temperatures.
Handcrafted items: these are rarely suitable for washing in a dishwasher. The relatively high water temperatures and the detergents used may damage them.
Plastic dishes: heat resistant plastic dishes must be w ash e d in th e upper basket.
Dishes and objects in copper, tin, zinc or brass: these tend to stain.
Aluminium dishes: items made from anodised aluminium may lose their colour.
Silverware: silver items may stain.
Glass and crystal: in general, glass and crystal objects can be
washed in the dishwasher. However, certain types of glass and crystal may become dull and lose their clearness after many washings. Therefore, for these items we recommend using the least aggressive program available.
Decorated items: the decorated objects available on the market are generally able to withstand washing in the dishwasher, although the colours may fade after a great many washes. If in doubt as to the fastness of the colours, it is advisable to wash just a few items at a time for approximately one month.

4.4 Using the baskets
The dishwasher has a capacity of 12 place-settings, 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 s urfaces exposed to the water jets coming from the bottom.
With fixed supports
To make the most of the space inside the basket when loading large items, certain models are equipped with tip-up supports for plates in 2 or 4 sections.
With tip-up supports
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 plat es and dessert bowls, be sure to leave a gap between them.

User instructions
CUTLERY BASKET
The cutlery should be arranged in an orderly manner ins ide the basket, with the handles pointing downwards. Take care duri ng loading to avoid injury from the knife blades. The basket is suitable for all t ypes of cutlery, except those long enough to interfer e 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 fro m th e basket.
The dishwasher is complete with two cutlery baskets, which means that one of them can be removed, freeing space in the bottom basket, if there is not much cutlery to be washed. The basket features an exclusive system of independent sliding tip- up supports, offering a choice of possible combinations to allow optimum use of the space available.

UPPER BASKET
It is recommended to load the upper basket with small- or medi um-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.
To make full use of the space available, the top basket has two plastic grids that can be lifted to make room for tall glasses such as stem glasses.

The top basket is fitted (on the left) with two plastic racks which can be raised to make room for tall glasses, such as stem glasses. On the right there are two cutlery racks designed to take knives and teaspoons; when not in use, they can be left vertical, attached to the basket. To use the space designed for teaspoons, remove the insert as shown in the illustrations.
Models with
cutlery racks
LOADING THE UPPER BASKET
Load plates facing forward; cups, bowls etc. must always be facing downwards. The left side of the basket can be loaded with cups and glasses on two levels. In the centre section, plates and saucers can be loaded vertically into the supports provided.

ADJUSTING THE UPPER BASKET Version A: the upper basket can be adjusted in two positions,
according to the user’s needs and accord ing to the height of the dishes in the lower basket. Proceed as follows:
pull out the right-hand basket guide;
remove the stop, first releasing it as shown in the diagram;
push the guide to free the wheels;
fit the upper or lo wer pair of wheels into the g uide, depend ing on the
setting required
;
return the stop to its original position.
Version B:
pull out the basket to its limit position and pull the right side upwards. At this point it is possible to load larger sized plates into the lower basket.
To return to the original position, pull out the upper basket again and press the release lever.

Version C: the top basket can be set in three different positions on both sides. The rack must be level on both sides.
To raise the basket lift it, pulling on the front edge (1), to the first or second catch depending on the height required. To lower it, pull the release lever (2).
This is also possible with the basket loaded, but in this case when lowering the basket it should be held steady with one hand to avoid knocking the dishes.

5. Cleaning and maintenance
Before carrying out any work, always unplug the appliance from the electrical supply or switch off the all-pole disconnection device.
5.1 General warnings and recommendations
Avoid the use of acidic or abrasive detergents.
Clean the outer surfaces and door-lining of the dishwasher regularly using a soft cloth moistened with water or with a normal detergent suitable for painted surfaces. Clean the door gaskets with a damp sponge. Periodically (once or twice a year) it is advisable to clean the tank and gaskets, using a soft cloth and water to remove any deposits.
CLEANING THE WATER INTAKE FILTER
The water intake filter A located at the outlet of the water supply tap needs to be cleaned periodically. After having closed the water supply tap, un screw the end of the water intake hose, remove the filter A and clean it delicately under running water. Reassemble filter A in its seat and carefully screw the water intake hose back into position.
CLEANING THE SPRAY ARMS
The spray arms can be easily removed for periodic cleaning of the nozzles, to prevent possible clogging. Wash them under running water and carefully replace them in their seats, checking that their rotary movement is in no way impeded.
To remove the upper spray arm, unscrew locking ring R.
To remove the lower spray arm, simply lift it up, pulling by the
central part.
T o remove the orbital spray arm assembly, take hold of the longer arm and pull the orbital unit upward. Wash the arms under a jet of running water and return them carefully to their seat. After reassembly, check that the spray arms turn freely. Otherwise, check that they have been installed correctly.

CLEANING THE FILTER UNIT
It is advisable to periodically inspect the centre filter C and, if necessary, to clean it. To remove the filter, grip the tabs, turn them anticlockwise and lift upwards;
push the centre filter D from the underside to remove it from the micro-filter:
separate the two parts which make up the plastic filter by pressing the body of the filter in the zone shown by the arrows;
remove the centre filter by lifting it upwards.
GENERAL WARNINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CORRECT MAINTENANCE:
The filters should be cleaned under running water using a stiff brush.
When removing the filter, take care that there are no food residues on it. If any residues fall into the washing pit they might block hydraulic components, or foul the spray arm nozzles.
It is essential to thoroughly clean the filters according to the above instructions: the dishwasher cannot function if the filters are clogged.
Carefully replace the filters in their seats, to avoid damaging the wash pump.
PROLONGED DISUSE:
Run the soak program twice in succession.
Unplug the power cord from the socket.
Leave the door slightly open, in order to prevent the formation of
unpleasant odours inside the washing tank.
Fill the rinse aid dispenser.
Shut off the water supply tap.
Page 35
User instructions
BEFORE STARTING THE DISHWASHER AFTER PROLONGED DISUSE:
Check that there are no deposits of sludge or rust inside the water pipe: if there are, allow the water to run fro m the water supply tap for a few minutes.
Plug the power cord back into the socket.
Reconnect the water intake hose and open the tap again.
TROUBLESHOOTING MINOR PROBLEMS
In some cases it is possible to remedy minor prob lems by r e ferring to the following instructions:
If the program 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 program 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.
34
Page 36

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 availa ble to re move 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 close d, and that the water softening setting is correct.
If after following the above troubleshooting instructions the problem persists, call the nearest After-Sales Centre.
WARNING: any operations performed on the appliance by unauthorised persons are not covered by the warranty and shall be paid for by the user.
