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.
IMPORTANT:
the dishwasher is predisposed only for a built.-in installation.
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.

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
Page 6
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
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

TO SAVE ON ENERGY! … AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT
• Always try to run the dishwasher fully loaded.
• 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.
• When possible, disable the drying cycle and leave the door open
at the end of the washing cycle: the residual air and heat will dry the
dishes perfectly.
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 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, the washing program will start again from
where it was interrupted. This operation may negatively affective the
progress of the washing cycle.

4. Operating instructions
Once the dishwasher has been correctly installed, prepare for use as
follows:
•
Add the rinse aid and detergent.
4.1 Using the rinse aid and detergent dispensers
The detergent and rinse aid
dispensers are situated on the inner
part of the door: the

rinse aid dispenser
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.
is on the left, and the
detergent
is on the right.
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 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 15
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.
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.
• 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.
Page 16
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.
• 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.
Page 17
User instructions
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.
Page 18
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.

necessary, to clean it. To remove the filter, grip the tabs, turn them
anticlockwise and lift upwards;
•
push the centre filter D from the underside to remove it from the
micro-filter:
•
separate the two parts which make up the plastic filter by pressing
the body of the filter in the zone shown by the arrows;
•
remove the centre filter by lifting it upwards.
GENERAL WARNINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CORRECT
MAINTENANCE:
• The filters should be cleaned under running water using a stiff
brush.
• 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.

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;
• 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 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.
If after following the above troubleshooting instructions the problem
persists, call the nearest After-Sales Centre.
