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. 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.
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:
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
ho ses must ne ver be reu sed.
CONNECTING T O 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.

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
(average hardness
41-60°dF – 24-31°dH
).
3
SALT
When using water of medium hardness, the regenerating salt container should be refilled after
approximately
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 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
Each time the salt container is refilled, make sure that

mixture of water and detergent must never penetrate the salt container, as this would

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.
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 t he 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

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.
The setting must be increased when the washed dishes appear dull or have circular staining.

Use
•
detergents specially formulated for dishwashers. For optimal washing results it is
only
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.

some cases, these detergents might not give good results, especially with short and/or lowtemperature 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.

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.
-

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
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.
to be washed and their
loading
.
If washing only a small amount of dishes, use the
“half-load”
option to save on energy and water.
Remember to load only the basket selected for the half-load program: the other basket
must remain 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.
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:

Handcrafted items:
these are rarely suitable for washing in a dishwasher. The relatively high

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 i t ems:
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
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 t he soiled surfaces
exposed to the water jets coming from the bottom.
For optimum use of space, the bottom basket is fitted with two plate supports which can be laid flat
if there are no plates to be loaded. It also has a "tip-up support" (with one or two sectors depending
on models) for small plates; to take small plates, it must be positioned as shown in the illustrations.

, including serving dishes.
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 plates and dessert bowls,
be sure to leave a gap between them.
