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, fi t 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 fl oor using its adjustable feet. This operation is
essential for the 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.
WARNING! Some protective systems preventing access to the door opening
and closing mechanisms are not active until the appliance has been installed.
If the appliance is not built into a cabinet, or is built into a cabinet but without

User instructions
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.
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 more delicate items from dishes that are more resistant to
aggressive detergents and high temperatures;
• do not pour detergent directly on the dishes.
If the door has to be opened while washing is in progress, the program
will be interrupted. The relative light will keep fl ashing and a beeper will
signal that the cycle has not been completed. You must wait about 1
minute closing the door to restart the program. When the door is closed the
program will continue from where it was interrupted. This operation should
only be carried out if strictly necessary, because it might cause problems
in execution of the program.

User instructions
3. Operating instructions
Once the dishwasher has been correctly installed, prepare for use as
follows:
• Add the rinse aid and detergent.
3.1 Using the rinse aid and detergent dispensers
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.
RINSE AID DETERGENT
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.
18
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 fi nal rinse cycle, from the container
situated on the inner side of the door.
S
O
User instructions
To add rinse aid:
• Open the door.
• Open the door “S”.
• Add the rinse aid until the container is full (approximately 140 cc).
The optical level indicator “O” on the side of the cap should be completely
obscured. Refi ll the rinse aid when the optical level indicator becomes
clear again, or when the rinse aid warning light illuminates.
• Close the door.
• 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 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.
EN
ADDING THE DETERGENT
After adding the detergent, to close the lid slide it in the direction shown by the
arrow as far as it will go then press gently to lock.
During washing, the dispenser will be opened automatically.
19
EN
User instructions
• 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 insuffi cient 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.
• 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.
20
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 fi rst 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, fi sh-bones, etc. which may
clog the fi lter or damage the wash pump.
• soak any pots or pans with burnt-on food remains on the bottom to
facilitate removal.
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.
21
EN
User instructions
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.
• When using detergent tablet, take care not to place large pans or dishes
in the zone underneath the detergent dispenser, since the tablet might fall
onto the dishes and fail to dissolve completely.
MAKE SURE that the items being washed are dishwasher-safe.
Items which are not dishwasher-safe:
• Wooden dishes, pots or pans: may be damaged by the high washing
temperatures.
• Handcrafted items: are rarely suitable for washing in a dishwasher. The
relatively high water temperatures and the detergents used may damage
them.
• Plastic dishes: resistant plastic dishes must be washed in the upper
basket.
• Dishes and objects in copper, tin, zinc or brass: tend to stain.
• Aluminium dishes: made from anodised aluminium may lose their
colour.
• Silverware: items may stain.
• Glass and crystal: 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: 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.

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 fi lter 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 fi lter A and clean it delicately under running water.
Reassemble fi lter A in its seat and carefully screw the water intake hose
back into position.
26
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.
• 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.

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 fi lters are not clogged.
User instructions
If the dishes are not being cleaned properly, check that:
• the correct amount of detergent has been added;
• there is no object obstructing the rotation of the spray arms;
• the dishes are being loaded correctly;
• the selected program is suitable for the dish types and their degree of
soiling;
• all the fi lters are clean and positioned correctly;
• the spray arm nozzles are not obstructed.
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.
