Installation instructions
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 any direction; make sure that the hoses 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 required. 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.
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 one side, the door hinge area must be covered for safety 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.

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
16
When using water of medium hardness, the regenerating salt container should be refilled after approximately container can hold approximately are equipped with an optical no-salt indicator. In these models, the cap of the salt container contains a green float which descends as the salt concentration in the water drops. When the green float can no longer be seen through the transparent cap, the container must be topped up with regenerating salt. 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.

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:

SETTING
18
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 hand, should only be added as required.
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 dispensed 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 desired
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.
19
User instructions
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 SUPER program is selected, in addition to the normal dose of detergent, it is necessary to add an additional amount inside compartment G or H.
20
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 kept 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 does not improve the washing results.
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 detergents it is possible to obtain at low temperatures comparable results to those which can only be achieved at 65°C using traditional detergents.
For the safeguarding of the environment we recommend the use of phosphate- and chlorine free detergents.
Also available are tablet detergents which state that that no salt or rinse aid is required. In some cases, these detergents might not give good results, especially with short and/or low-temperature washing cycles. If performance problems (e.g. a white coating on the tank or dishes, poor drying, dirt on dishes at the end of the wash) are noted, users are advised to return to conventional products (granular salt, powder detergent and liquid rinse aid). However, please note that on return to the use of conventional 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: detergent, 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 released during the cycle, with poor washing
results;
- the detergent forms a solid block in the distributor and is released
during the final rinse cycle.
The introduction of detergent into the rinse aid dispenser, even in liquid form, will damage the dishwasher.

4.3 General warnings and recommendations
Before using the dishwasher for the first time, it is advisable 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.
If a small quantity of dishes has to be washed, use the “½ load wash” option; this saves electricity and water.
Remember to load the upper basket only; the lower basket must be left empty.
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.
22
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 could 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 downwards 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.
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 washed in the 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.

Fill the rinse aid dispenser.
Shut off the water supply tap.
User instructions

Check that there are no deposits of sludge or rust inside the water pipe: if there are, allow the water to run from 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

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.
31
User instructions
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.
