Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes.
The lower basket
The lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates,
salad bowls, cutlery etc.
Serving dishes and large lids should be arranged around the
edge of the basket, ensuring that the spray arms can turn
freely.
The cutlery basket
Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a
potential hazard.
Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives
must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket.
Take care when loading or unloading sharp items such as
knives.
Cutlery should be placed in the removable cutlery basket with
the handles facing downwards. If the handles protrude from
the bottom of the basket, obstructing the lower spray arm, load
the cutlery with the handles
facing upwards.
Mix spoons with other cutlery
to prevent them from sticking
together.
For best results we
recommend you to use the
cutlery grids provided (if the
size and dimensions of the
cutlery allow it).
In daily use
● Check if it’s necessary to refill with special salt or rinse aid
● Load cutlery and dishes into the dishwasher.
● Fill with dishwasher detergent .
● Select a wash programme suitable for the cutlery and
dishes.
● Start the wash programme.
Loading cutlery and dishes
Sponges, household cloths and any object that can
absorb water may not be washed in the dishwasher.
● Before loading the dishes, you should:
- Remove large left-overs.
- Soften remnants of burnt food in pans
● When loading the dishes and cutlery, please note:
- Dishes and cutlery must not impede the rotation of the
spray arms .
- Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans, etc. with
the opening downwards so that water cannot collect in the
container or a deep base.
- Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one
another, or cover each other.
- To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch.
- Lay small objects in the cutlery basket.
● Plastic items and pans with teflon have a tendency to
retain water drops; these items will not dry as well as
porcelain and steel items.
For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery/dishes
are of limited suitability:
- Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it is specifically
marked as being dishwasher-safe by the manufacturer.
- Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed frequently
- Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to discolour
during washing. Left-overs, e.g. egg white, egg yolk and
mustard often cause discolouring and staining on silver.
Therefore always clean left-overs from silver immediately, if
it is not to be washed straight after use.
- Some types of glass can become dull after a large number
of washes
are not suitable:
- Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or
mother-of-pearl handles
- Plastic items that are not heat resistant
- Older cutlery with glued parts that is not
temperature resistant
- Bonded cutlery items or dishes
- Pewter or copper items
- Lead crystal glass
- Steel items subject to rusting
- Wooden platters
- Items made from synthetic fibres

The cutlery basket is in two parts which can be separated to
give greater loading flexibility.
To separate the two parts,
slide them horizontally in
opposite directions and pull
them apart.
To reassemble, reverse the
procedure.
The upper basket
The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates,
saucers, dinner plates of up to 24 cm in diameter), salad
bowls, cups and glasses.
Arrange items on and underneath the cup racks so that water
can reach all surfaces.
Glasses with long stems can be placed upside down in the cup
racks.
Light items (plastic bowls
etc.) must be loaded in the
upper basket and arranged
so they do not move.
In case that plates are loaded in the upper
basket:
load them starting from the
rear positions of the basket;
tilting them slightly forwards
and avoiding the front
positions near the door.
Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can
rotate freely.
Adjusting the height of the upper basket
If washing very large plates you can load them in the lower
basket after moving the upper basket to the higher position.
To move to the higher position proceed as
follows:
1. Move the front runner stops (A) of the upper basket
outwards and slide the basket out.
2. Refit the basket in the higher position and replace the stops
(A) in their original position.
When the basket is in the
higher position you will not
be able to use the cup
rack(s).
After loading your machine always close the door, as an
open door can be a hazard.

(1) Testing programme for EN 50242 (see "Hints for Test Centres"). This programme, developed for the use of detergents with
enzymes, allows you to achieve, with reduced consumption of energy the same cleaning results that would otherwise be
obtained only with the 65°C programmes and conventional detergents. To compensate the lower temperature, the duration of
washing and drying have been extended.
(2) Ideal for washing crockery and cutlery of breakfast and dinner (fresh soil).
Characterised by a duration of about 30 minutes and a washing temperature of 60°C.
The time value is approximate and depends on the pressure and the temperature of the water and also by the variations
of the power supply.
This is the perfect daily programme, made to meet the needs of a family of 4 persons who only wish to load breakfast
and dinner crockery and cutlery.
(3) The consumption values are intended as a guide and depends on the pressure and the temperature of the water and also by
the variations of the power supply.

1. Check that the baskets have been
loaded correctly and that the spray
arms can rotate freely
2. Turn on the water tap
3. Close the dishwasher door
4. Set and start of the programme
Turn the programme selector dial clockwise until the
letter of the programme you wish to select corresponds
with the programme marker on the control panel.
If necessary select the temperature of the main wash
according to the instructions in the "Washing programmes"
chart (see "Required main wash temperature push
button").
Depress the On/Off push button.
The On/Off indicator light will come on and the machine
will start.
5. Interrupting a washing programme
in progress
Interrupt a washing programme in progress ONLY if
it’s absolutely necessary.
Attention! Hot steam may escape when the door is
opened. Open the door carefully.
To interrupt a washing programme
a) Open the dishwasher door; the programme will stop.
Close the door; the programme will start from the
point in which it was interrupted.
b) Press the On/Off push button (in this case the On/Off
indicator light turns off). Press the On/Off push button
again; the programme will start from the point in
which it was interrupted.
6. End of the washing programme
The dishwasher will automatically stop.
The On/Off indicator light remains on until the On/Off
push button is depressed.
Only the On/Off integrated indicator light will remain on.
Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push
button.
Open the door and wait a few minutes before removing
the dishes; in this way they will be cooler and the drying
will be improved.
Water may appear on the sides and door of the
dishwasher as the stainless steel will eventually become
cooler than the dishes.
Unloading the dishwasher
Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks. The dishes should
therefore be allowed to cool down before removing from
the appliance.
Empty the lower basket first and then the upper one; this
will avoid water dripping from the upper basket onto the
dishes in the lower one.
When the washing programme has finished, it is
recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and the
water tap turned off.

Fitting under a counter
(kitchen worktop or sink)
By removing the machine’s worktop, you can install it under a
close fitting sink unit or a pre-existing top, providing the
dimensions of the recess correspond to those shown in the
picture.
Proceed as follows:
Remove the machine’s worktop by unscrewing the two rear
retaining screws, pull from the front and slide out the rear
slots, lifting the worktop.
Insert the machine after adjusting height and levelling with the
adjustable feet. When inserting the machine, ensure that the
water inlet and drain hoses are not kinked or squashed.
If the dishwasher is later used as a free-standing appliance,
the original worktop must be re-mounted.
The plinth on free-standing appliances is not adjustable.
Levelling
Good levelling is essential for correct closure and sealing of
the door.
When the appliance is correctly levelled, the door will not catch
on either side of the cabinet.
If the door does not close correctly, loosen or tighten the
adjustable feet until the machine is perfectly level.
