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. Before putting the dishwasher into its
definitive position, turn on the water tap and check that there are no
leaks from the tap connection, the dishwasher connection or the hose.
Level the appliance on the floor using its adjustable feet. This operation
is essential for ensuring correct operation of the dishwasher.
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.
Building-in a dishwasher underneath a hob is absolutely forbidden. Moreover, dishwashers may not be installed directly touching
appliances which are not conventional built-in kitchen appliances (e.g.
fireplaces, stoves, etc.).
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.).

4. Operating instructions
User 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.
When using water of medium hardness, 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. Some models
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 drps. 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.
SALT
User instructions
ADJUSTING THE WATER SO
FTENING SYSTEM
•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.
The dishwasher is equipped with a device which allows the softener
setting to be varied to suit the hardness of the mains water. The
hardness is set using the PROGRAM SELECTION BUTTON (2).
To access the setting function, hold the button down for more than 15
seconds. The WATER HARDNESS ADJUSTMENT INDICATOR LIGHT
(6) flashes, while the SELECTED PROGRAM INDICATOR LIGHTS (4)
show the current setting. Each pressure on the button changes the
setting following the sequence in the table below:

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.
20
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
ADJUSTING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER SETTING
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.
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.
21
ADDING THE DETERGENT
User instructions
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 prewash 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 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.
•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.
22
User instructions
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.
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.
23
WARNING!
User instructions
•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.
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

LOWER BASKET
BOTTOM BASKET INSERTS
4.4 Using the baskets
The dishwasher has a capacity of 12 place-settings, including serving
dishes.
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.
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.
Some models are equipped with bottom basket inserts which improve
the drying of dishes. The inserts are supplied in the accessories bag; to
use them, simply fit them into place as shown.

LOADING THE LOWER BASKET
Loading examples:
CUTLERY BASKET
User instructions
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.
The basket has removable top grids into which items of cutlery can be
inserted to keep them properly spaced and allow water to pass between
them effectively.
The cutlery supports and central lid are in the bag of accessories. The
central lid is intended to act only as a cover: do not place the cutlery in it.
The cutlery should be arranged in an orderly manner inside the basket,
with the handles pointing downwards. Take care during loading to avoid
injury from the knife blades. The basket is suitable for all types of 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.

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
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.
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, unscrew 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.
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.

TROUBLESHOOTING MINOR PROBLEMS
In some cases it is possible to remedy minor problems by referring 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;

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.
If after following the above troubleshooting instructions the problem
persists, call the nearest After-Sales Centre.
