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.

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.
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.
Take care to screw the hose firmly into
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
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

Once the dishwasher has been correctly installed, prepare for use as
follows:
•
Add the rinse aid and detergent.

The detergent and rinse aid
dispensers are situated on the inner
part of the door: the

is on the left, and the
detergent
is on the right.
20
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:
•
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 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.
Page 21
User instructions
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.
•
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.
•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.
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.
21
Page 22
User instructions
•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.
•Also available are tablet detergents which state that that no salt or
rinse aid is required. In some cases, these detergents might not give
good results, especially with short and/or low-temperature 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.
22
•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.

4.2 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.
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.
23
Page 24
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: 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.

4.3 Using the baskets
The dishwasher has a capacity of
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.
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.

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, or if a ½ load program is being used
(on models with this function).
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
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
26
teaspoons, remove the insert as
shown in the illustrations.

User instructions
LOADING THE UPPER BASKET
Load the dishes with the top side facing forwards; cups and concave
containers should always be loaded with the opening facing down. 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:
½ LOAD
ADJUSTING THE UPPER BASKET
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 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.
xTo return to the original position, pull out the upper basket again and
press the release lever.

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.
30
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;
•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.
Page 31
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 to remove
such marks;
•check that the amount of detergent being used is correct. Certain
detergents can be more corrosive than others.
If after following the above troubleshooting instructions the problem
persists, call the nearest After-Sales Centre.
