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.
Level the appliance on the floor using its adjustable feet. This operation
is essential for ensuring correct operation of the dishwasher.
Building-in a dishwasher underneath a ceramic hob is absolutely
forbidden.
A dishwasher can be built-in underneath a conventional hob provided
there is no break in the kitchen worktop, and the dishwasher and hob
are installed and secured correctly, so that no hazards are
generated.
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.
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.

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.
CONNECTING TO 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.
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 85 cm from the ground.

"3/1" OPTION BUTTON
(available in all programs except the soak program)
By pressing the button (8) you activate the "3/1" option, confirmed when
the relative light comes on. This option has been studied for the use of
dishwashing powder or tablets with integrated substances in place of
regenerating salt or rinse-aid known on the market as “3 in 1” or “triple
action” products; in this case the dishwasher will use the product in an
optimal way avoiding salt and rinse-aid consumption, which could
already be found in the dishwasher.
Note: When selecting the "3/1" button, it is normal that the salt and
rinse-aid lights remain on, if their containers are empty.
TO SAVE ON ENERGY! … AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT
x Always try to run the dishwasher fully loaded.
x Do not wash the dishes in running water.
x Use the washing program that is most appropriate for each type of
load.
x Do not carry out any preliminary rinsing.
x 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:
x separate the more delicate items from dishes that are more
resistant to aggressive detergents and high temperatures;
x do not pour the detergent directly on the dishes.

User instructions
STARTING THE DISHWASHER
After carrying out all the operations described above correctly, to start
the dishwasher simply press the press the START/PAUSE button (4) for
a few seconds until a beep sounds (the PROGRAM STARTED (5) light
starts to flash). The 3-FIGURE DISPLAY (12) will show the duration of
the program in minutes. The duration time is only approximate, because
it depends on the washing conditions (quantity of dishes, water
temperature, etc.), and is also continually updated as the washing
program progresses.
The 3-FIGURE DISPLAY (12) shows the estimated duration of the
washing program.
If it is necessary to open dishwasher door during the washing cycle,
there will be a 1-minute delay before the program can be resumed.
After correctly closing the door, press the START/PAUSE (4) button
again. This operation may negatively affective the progress of the
washing cycle.
END PROGRAM
The end of the program is indicated by a short signal acoustic and from
the “End” visual notification on 3-FIGURE DISPLAY (12). By pressing
the PROGRAM SELECTION button (2), the “End” visual signal will
vanish from the display and the dishwasher is ready to continue a new
cycle, the same thing happens when closing or opening the door or by
switching on-off the machine.
REMOVING THE DISHES
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.

4. Operating instructions
Once the dishwasher has been correctly installed, prepare for use as
follows:
x Adjust the water softening system;
x Add the regenerating salt;
x 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 (average hardness
41-60°dF – 24-31°dH).
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.
SALT
16
x 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.
x 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.
x Only use regenerating salt specially formulated for domestic
dishwashers. If using salt tablets, do not fill the container
completely.
User instructions
x Do not use table salt as it contains insoluble substances which,
over time, may damage the water softening system.
x 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 SOFTENING SYSTEM
(available in all programs except the soak program)
The dishwasher is equipped with an electronic device for adjusting the
water softening setting according to the hardness of the water. To adjust
the water softening setting, proceed as follows.
x Keep the PROGRAM DELAY button (6) pressed for a few seconds,
until the H- symbol, followed by the set value, appears on the
3-FIGURE DISPLAY (12).
x The PROGRAM DELAY button (6) can be pressed again to select
the most suitable hardness value (H1, H2…H5). Refer to the "Water
hardness table" to select the value.
x To exit the programming mode press the START/PAUSE button (4)
or do not touch the keypad for 2 seconds to allow the system to exit
the mode automatically.

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.
SETTING
18
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
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:
x Open the door.
x Rotate the container cap anticlockwise by ¼ of a turn and remove it.
x 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.
x Replace the cover and turn it in a clockwise direction.
x Use a cloth to remove any spillage of rinse aid which might lead to
the formation of excess foam.
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.
x To adjust the rinse aid setting, rotate the dispenser cap through a
quarter turn in an anticlockwise direction and remove it.
x Then use a screwdriver to rotate the rinse aid selector to the desired
position.
x Replace the cap, turning it clockwise.
x The amount of rinse aid must be increased if the washed dishes
appear dull or feature circular stains.
x If, on the other hand, the dishes are sticky or have white streaks, it
is necessary to reduce the rinse aid setting.

User instructions
ADDING THE DETERGENT
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.
x When a program with hot prewash is selected (see program table),
extra detergent must be placed in the cavity G/H (depending on
models).
x Use only detergents specially formulated for dishwashers. For
optimal washing results it is important to use a good quality
detergent.
x 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.
x 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.
x 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.
x 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.

User instructions
x "3/1" Products
If you wish to use detergents which already contain salt and rinse
aid, check whether your dishwasher is fitted with the "3/1 option
button" on the "Controls description" page and then refer to the
section which explains how to use this function.
If the button is not provided, we recommend the use of conventional
products (separate detergent, salt and rinse aid), because with
conventional washing cycles "3/1" products might create problems
such as a white deposit, poor drying results and residues left on
dishes.
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:
x remove coarse food remains: e.g. bones, fish-bones, etc. which
may clog the filter or damage the wash pump.
x soak any pots or pans with burnt-on food remains on the bottom to
facilitate removal, then load them into the LOWER BASKET.
Use the "½ load wash" option (if available) for washing small amounts
of dishes; it saves water and electricity.
When using this function, only load the basket selected for the ½
load wash; 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!
x 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.
x Do not place very small objects in the baskets as these could fall
and obstruct the spray arms or the wash pump.
x 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.
x Do not stack dishes or place them in such a way that they cover
one other.
x 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:
x Wooden dishes, pots or pans: these may be damaged by the
high washing temperatures.
x Handcrafted items: these are rarely suitable for washing in a
dishwasher. The relatively high water temperatures and the
detergents used may damage them.
x Plastic dishes: heat resistant plastic dishes must be washed in the
upper basket.
x Dishes and objects in copper, tin, zinc or brass: these tend to
stain.
x Aluminium dishes: items made from anodised aluminium may
lose their colour.
x Silverware: silver items may stain.
x 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.
x 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 12 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.
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.
LOADING THE LOWER BASKET
With tip-up supports
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:
½ LOAD

User instructions
CUTLERY BASKET
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.
The dishwasher is complete with two cutlery baskets, which means that
one of them can be removed, freeing space in the bottom basket, if there
is not much cutlery to be washed.
The basket features an exclusive system of independent sliding tip-
up supports, offering a choice of possible combinations to allow
optimum use of the space available.

UPPER BASKET
Movement required
to extract the inserts
It is recommended to load the upper basket with small- or medium-sized
items such as glasses, small plates, tea or coffee cups, shallow bowls
and light objects made from heat resistant plastic. If the upper basket is
used in the lowermost position, it can also be loaded with serving dishes,
provided they are only slightly soiled.
The top basket is fitted (on the left)
with two plastic racks which can be
raised to make room for tall glasses,
such as stem glasses.
On the right there are two cutlery
racks designed to take knives and
teaspoons; when not in use, they can
be left vertical, attached to the
basket.
To use the space designed for
teaspoons, remove the insert as
shown in the illustrations.
User instructions
LOADING THE UPPER BASKET
Load plates facing forward; cups, bowls etc. must always be facing
downwards. The left-hand side of the basket can be loaded with two
layers of cups and glasses. The centre can be filled with plates and sideplates, fitted upright into the supports provided.
Loading examples:
1/2 LOAD
ADJUSTING THE UPPER BASKET
Version A: the upper basket can be adjusted in two positions,
according to the user’s needs and according to the height of the dishes
in the lower basket. Proceed as follows:
x pull out the right-hand basket guide;
x remove the stop, first releasing it as shown in the diagram;
x push the guide to free the wheels;
x fit the upper or lower pair of wheels into the guide, depending on the
setting required
;
x return the stop to its original position.
25
User instructions
Version B:
x pull out the basket to its limit position and pull the right side
upwards. At this point it is possible to load larger sized plates into
the lower basket.
x To return to the original position, pull out the upper basket again and
press the release lever.
Version C: the top basket can be set in three different positions on
both sides. The rack must be level on both sides.
To raise the basket lift it, pulling on the front edge (1), to the first or
second catch depending on the height required. To lower it, pull the
release lever (2).
This is also possible with the basket loaded, but in this case when
lowering the basket it should be held steady with one hand to avoid
knocking the dishes.

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.
x To remove the upper spray arm, unscrew locking ring R.
x To remove the lower spray arm, simply lift it up, pulling by the
central part.
x 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.

x Carefully replace the filters in their seats, to avoid damaging the
wash pump.
PROLONGED DISUSE:
x Run the soak program twice in succession.
x Unplug the power cord from the socket.
x Leave the door slightly open, in order to prevent the formation of
unpleasant odours inside the washing tank.
x Fill the rinse aid dispenser.
x Shut off the water supply tap.
User instructions
BEFORE STARTING THE DISHWASHER AFTER PROLONGED
DISUSE:
x 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.
x Plug the power cord back into the socket.
x 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:
x the dishwasher is connected to the electrical power supply;
x there is no power failure;
x the water tap is open;
x the dishwasher door is properly closed.
If water remains inside the dishwasher, check that:
x the drain hose is not kinked;
x the drain siphon is not obstructed;
x the dishwasher filters are not clogged.
If the dishes are not being cleaned properly, check that:
x the correct amount of detergent has been added;
x there is regenerating salt inside the special container;
x the dishes are being loaded correctly;
x the selected program is suitable for the dish types and their degree
of soiling;
x all the filters are clean and positioned correctly;
x the spray arm nozzles are not obstructed;
x there is no object obstructing the rotation of the spray arms.
29
User instructions
If the dishes fail to dry or remain dull, check that:
x there is rinse aid inside the special container;
x the rinse aid dispenser setting is correct;
x 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:
x the rinse aid dispenser setting is not too high.
If there are visible traces of rust inside the tank:
x 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;
x check that the amount of detergent being used is correct. Certain
detergents can be more corrosive than others.
x check that the cap of the salt container is securely closed, and that
the water softening setting is correct.
