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.
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: 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 3/4” 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 1/4 of a turn with pliers.
In dishwashers equipped with the
ACQUASTOP device, the filters is already
fitted inside the threaded ring.
7
Installation instructions
The dishwasher can also be connected to a hot water supply
exceeding 60°C
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
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
ground.

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.
The dishwasher is factory set for water
hardness level 3 (average hardness
41-60°dF – 24-31°dH
).
SALT
When using water of medium hardness, the regenerating salt container
should be refilled after approximately

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.

•
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 SOFTENING SYSTEM
The dishwasher is equipped with an device for the user to adjust the
water softening system according to the hardness of the water supply.
According to the machine model, the selector which acts on the
adjustment may be located:

SETTING
The detergent and rinse aid
dispensers are situated on the inner
part of the door: the
dispenser
is on the left, and the
rinse aid dispenser
detergent
is on the right.
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.
17
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.
•
Open the door.
•
Rotate the container cap anticlockwise by 1/4 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 the 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 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.
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 anticlockwise direction and remove it.
•
Then use a screwdriver to rotate the rinse aid selector to the desired
position.
•
Replace the cap, turning it clockwise.
18
• The amount of rinse aid must be increased if the washed dishes
appear dull or feature circular stains.
• 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.
• 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 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.
• There are various types of detergents available on the market -
liquid, powder and tablet forms - characterised by different chemical
compositions: some contain phosphates, whereas others are
phosphate free and based on 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.
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.
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.
20
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.
User instructions
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: these are not heat resistant and may lose their
shape. 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.

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.

5. Cleaning and maintenance
Before carrying out any work, always disconnect the appliance
from the electrical power supply.
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.

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.
28
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.
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).
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.
If after following the above troubleshooting instructions the problem
persists, call the nearest After-Sales Centre.
WARNING: any operations performed on the appliance by
unauthorised persons are not covered by the warranty and shall be
paid for by the user.
