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

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.

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 connecting to the 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
from the ground.

Suitable when there are not many dishes to be washed, it saves energy
and reduces the program duration. Place dishes in both baskets then load

ULTRA CLEAN
The "ULTRA CLEAN" program prolongs the final hot rinse to ensure a
further reduction in the bacteria level. If the temperature in the tank falls
during this stage of the program (e.g. because the door is opened or due to
a power blackout), the light of the option and the program lights (2) flash to
warn that the additional washing phase has not been completed
successfully. This does not mean that the wash program has been less
effective than usual.
DELAYED START
The start of the washing program can be delayed to program the dishwasher
to operate at the preferred time of day (e.g. overnight). Press the
PROGRAM DELAY button to activate the option and display a 1 hour
delay. Keep pressing to select the delay required, which may be up to 9, 12
or 24 hours depending on the model.
When the door is closed, the appliance will prewash the dishes, after
which the "program delay" set will come into effect.

Flexi Tabs
Ideal for multi-function detergents, this option allows washing to be
optimised, with full benefits from the combined-action tablets. When this
option is activated, any salt and rinse aid in the relative containers will not
be used.
With short programs, because there is less time for them to dissolve,
tablets may fail to wash effectively and undissolved residues may be left.
Powder detergents are more suitable for these programs.
If the option is not provided, we recommend the use of conventional
products (separate detergent, salt and rinse aid), because with
conventional washing cycles, combined products might create problems
such as a white deposit, poor drying results and residues left on dishes.
N.B.:
When the salt and rinse aid containers are empty, the relative lights will
remain on even if the “Flexi Tabs” option is selected.

User instructions
To change the program in progress, simply open the door and select a

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 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 the detergent directly on the dishes.
If the door has to be opened while washing is in progress, the program will
be interrupted. The relative light will keep flashing 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

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.
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
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
18
User instructions
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 SOFTENER
The setting can be adjusted using the PROGRAM SELECTION
BUTTON (3). Keep the button pressed until the WATER HARDNESS
ADJUSTMENT INDICATOR LIGHT (4) flashes. The SELECTED
PROGRAM INDICATOR LIGHTS (2) indicate the current setting. Each
press of the button modifies the setting according to the sequence in the
following table:

After carrying out the adjustment or displaying the current setting, if you

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
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.

User instructions
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 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.
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.
26
BOTTOM BASKET INSERTS
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.
UPPER BASKET
User instructions
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.
Loading examples:
The upper basket should be loaded with small or medium-sized items
such as glasses, small plates and saucers, tea or coffee cups, shallow
bowls and light objects. If the upper basket is used in the lowermost
position, it can also be loaded with serving dishes, provided they are only
lightly soiled.
LOADING THE UPPER BASKET
Load plates facing forward; cups, bowls etc. must always be facing
downwards. The left side of the basket can be loaded with cups and
glasses on two levels. In the centre section, plates and saucers can be
loaded vertically into the supports provided.
Loading examples:

CUTLERY BASKET
User instructions
The basket is suitable for all types of cutlery, except long items that may
interfere with the upper spray arm. The cutlery should be arranged in the
spaces in the upper racks to allow the water to pass effectively between
the items.
Forks and spoons should be positioned with the handle facing
downwards, taking care not to injure yourself with the prongs of the forks.
Knives should be placed in the tray on the upper rack or in the cutlery
drawer, if present (depending on the model), otherwise position them with
the handles facing upwards.
Ladles, wooden spoons and kitchen knives can be placed on the upper
rack, making sure that the blades of the knives do not protrude from
the basket. The upper racks can be opened in order to insert, for example,
small items.

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, 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.
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.

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.
35
User instructions
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 does not close:
- the lock has been triggered; close the door with greater force
- regulate the catch of the lock on the door to its maximum adjustment
using the central plastic screw.
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.
36
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.
