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. 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.).
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.

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.

device, the filters is already fitted inside the threaded
ring.
The dishwasher can also be connected to a hot water supply
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 connecting to the cold water supply.
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
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 SAVE ON ENERGY!…AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT
• Always use the dishwasher with a full load.
• 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

TO REDUCE DETERGENT CONSUMPTION AND PROTECT THE
ENVIRONMENT
The phosphates contained in dishwasher detergents are harmful to the
environment. To avoid using excessive amounts of detergent save on
electricity as well, observe the following recommendations:
• Sort your dishes, washing delicate items separately from those
more resistant to strong detergents and high temperatures.
• Do not pour detergent directly onto dishes.

ENERGY MANAGEMENT
REMOVING THE DISHES
After 5 minutes of inactivity (wash cycle completed, stopped or set but
not started), the dishwasher switches to standby mode to reduce energy
consumption.
In this mode, the dishwasher indicator panel (lights or display depending
on model) functions more slowly (switch-on once every 5 seconds).
At the end of the wash program, wait at least 20 minutes before
removing the dishes, to allow them to cool. To ensure that any drops of
water left in the top basket do not drip onto the dishes still in the bottom
basket, you are advised always to empty the bottom basket first.
13
ADDING RINSE AID
User instructions
4. Operating instructions
Once the dishwasher has been correctly installed, prepare it for use as
follows:
• Add rinse aid and detergent
4.1 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, it is necessary to add the
required amount of detergent to the detergent dispenser before every
wash cycle. The rinse aid, on the other hand, should only be added as
required.
14
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.
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 ml).
The optical level indicator on the side of the cap should be
completely dark. Refill the rinse aid when the optical level indicator
turns clear again, or when the rinse aid warning light turns on.
• Replace the cover and turn it clockwise.
• Use a cloth to remove any spillage of rinse aid which might lead to
the formation of excess foam.
User instructions
ADJUSTING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER SETTING
ADDING DETERGENT
The dishwasher is factory set for medium water hardness. It is possible
to change this setting by turning the dispenser selector to the required
position: the amount of rinse aid dispensed depends on the selector
position.
• To adjust the rinse aid setting, rotate the dispenser cap a quarter of
a turn anticlockwise and remove it.
• Then 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 have circular stains.
• If, on the other hand, the dishes are sticky or have white streaks, it
is necessary to reduce the rinse aid dosage.
To open the detergent dispenser cap, lightly press
the button P. Add the detergent and close the cap
carefully.
During the wash cycle, the dispenser will open
automatically.

16
User instructions
• When a program with hot prewash is selected (see program table),
extra detergent must be placed in the cavity G/H (depending on
model).
• 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 wash
results. Once opened, the detergent packs should not be kept for
too long, otherwise the detergent will lose 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
wash results.
• There are various liquid and powder detergents on the market 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. Enzyme detergents provide comparable results at
low temperatures to those which can only be achieved at 65°C
using traditional detergents.
To protect the environment, we recommend the use of phosphate-
and chlorine-free detergents.
The introduction of detergent into the rinse aid dispenser, even in
liquid form, will damage the dishwasher.
User instructions
4.2 General warnings and recommendations
Before using the dishwasher for the first time, it is advisable to read the
following recommendations concerning dish types and loading.
There are generally no constraints on 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 large food remains, particularly bones, which may clog the
filter or damage the pump.
• Soak any pots or pans with burnt-on food to facilitate its 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 wash results.
17
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 wash
cycle.
• Do not place very small objects in the baskets as these could fall
and obstruct the spray arms or the 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
each other.
• Do not place glasses too close together because they may knock
against each other and break, or stains may remain 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 wash temperatures.
• Handmade 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 clarity after many washes.
Therefore, for these items we recommend using the most gentle
program available.
• Decorated items are generally able to withstand washing in the
dishwasher, although the colours may fade with frequent washing.
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.

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 sump they might block hydraulic
components or 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 to avoid damaging the pump.

PROLONGED DISUSE:
User instructions
• 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 wash 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 electricity supply
• There is no power outage
• The water tap is open
• The dishwasher door is properly closed
If water remains inside the dishwasher, check that:
• The drainage hose is not kinked
• The drainage trap is not blocked
• The dishwasher filters are not clogged
If the dishes do not come out clean, check that:
• The correct amount of detergent has been added
• The salt container is not empty
• The dishes have been loaded correctly
• The selected program is suitable for the dish types and their degree
of soiling
• All filters are clean and correctly installed
• The spray arm nozzles are not clogged
• There is nothing obstructing the rotation of the spray arms
User instructions
If the dishes fail to dry or remain dull, check that:
• The rinse aid container is not empty
• 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 stainless steel, and therefore any rust marks are
due to external elements (fragments of rust from the water pipes,
pots, cutlery etc.). Special products are available to remove such
marks.
• Check that the detergent dose 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 the problem persists after following the troubleshooting instructions
above, call the nearest Authorised Service Centre.
