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.

TO CUT DOWN ON DETERGENT CONSUMPTION! … A ND 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 followi ng:

• separate the more delicate items from dishes that are more resistant
to aggressive detergen ts and high temperatures ;

• do not pour the detergent directly on the dishes.

If the door has to be opened while w ashing is in progress, the program
will be interrupted. The relative light will keep flashi ng and a beeper will
signal that the cycle has not been completed. You must wait about 1
minute before closing the door to restart the program. When the door is
closed the program will continue from where it was interrupted. This
operation should only be carried out if strictly necessary, because it
might cause problems in execution of the program.

END OF CYCLE

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.

User instructions

17

• 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
NOTA: for the setting below to be possible, a washing program other

than the soak program must be set.
Press the PROGRAM DELAY button (12) 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 appe ar 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 program
delay, and the setting will be made with the chosen value.

N.B.: the display shows the water hardness setting and the program
delay. The dot (.) after the number indicates that the water hardness
setting is being displayed. If the dot (.) does not appear, the program
delay is being displayed.

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.

User instructions

19

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 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.

User instructions

20

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.

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.

User instructions

23

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 14 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 surfaces
exposed to the water jets coming from the bottom.

The rear of the basket is fitted with a rack to take large plates (A). To
use it, simply lift it until it locks in place.

User instructions

25

In the front there are one or two supports (depending on the models) for
small plates (B). To use them, they have to be turned towards the front

of the dishwasher.

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.

Loading examples:

½ LOAD

User instructions

26

CUTLERY BASKET
Cutlery must be placed with the tips facing downward.
Long items of cutlery (ladles, wooden spoons, kitchen knives, etc.),
which might interfere with the upper spray arm must be placed in the
upper basket, ensuring that knife tips do not project from the basket.

The cutlery basket features an exclusive system of independent
sliding tip-up supports, offering a series of 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.

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.

LOADING THE UPPER BASKET

Load plates facing forward; cups, bowls etc. must always be facing
downwards. The left-hand side of the basket can be loaded with two
layers of cups and glasses. The centre can be filled with plates and side­plates, fitted upright into the supports provided.

Loading examples:

½ LOAD

User instructions

28

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 lower pair of wheels into the guide, depending 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.

User instructions

29

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.

• To 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 t wo 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.

User instructions

32

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.

User instructions

33

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.
