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 a nd 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.

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 obsc ured. 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.
To adjust the rinse aid setting, rotate the dispenser cap through a quarter turn in an

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

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.

When using detergent in tablet form (bear in mind that we recommend the use of three
•
separate products: detergent, salt and rinse aid), place the tablets in the cutlery rack. The
dispenser is designed to use powder or liquid detergent and the door does not open completely
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.
-
The introduction of detergent into the rinse aid dispenser, even in liquid form, will damage
the dishwasher.

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 a small quantity of dishes has to be washed, use the
“½ load wash”
option; this saves
electricity and water.
Remember to load the upper basket only; the lower basket must be left 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 tems:
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.
14 place-settings
, 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.

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,
the knife blades do not protrude from the basket.

UPPER BASKET
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.

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.
•
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.
•
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).
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 t o 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.
