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
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.).

Installation instructions
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 water 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.
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 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

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.
TO CUT DOWN ON DETERGENT CONSUMPTION! … AND 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 following:
separate the more delicate items from dishes that are more resistant
to aggressive detergents and high temperatures;
do not pour detergent directly on the dishes.
At the end of the program, afterwards 5 minutes, the washing machine switches off automatically in order to reduce standby power consumption.
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.

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
salt to reduce the hardness of the water.
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. 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
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.

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 setting can be adjusted using the PROGRAM SELECTION BUTTON (7). Keep the button pressed until the WATER HARDNESS ADJUSTMENT INDICATOR LIGHT (5) flashes. The SELECTED PROGRAM INDICATOR LIGHTS (8) indicate the current setting. Each

ADDING THE DETERGENT
Only add the detergent (also in
tablet form) if the dispenser is dry
To open the detergent dispenser cover, lightly press button P. Add the detergent or tablet and close the cover by sliding it until it stops, indicated by a click. The dispenser will open automatically during the wash cycle.
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. 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 for washing dishes by hand because they may
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.
For the safeguarding of the environment we recommend the use of
phosphate- and chlorine free detergents.
23
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

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 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 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 13 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

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.

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 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
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. the door won’t close > the door latch was released > use greater
strength to close the door.
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.
38
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). Non-dry synthetic dishes.
Synthetic material has a lower heat storage capacity and is therefore
harder to dry.
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.
