INSTALLATION
Remove all packaging before positioning the
machine.
Positioning
If possible, position the machine next to a water tap
and a drain.
The dishwasher features fill and drain hoses which
can be turned either to the left or the right to suit the
installation .
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 the spacers on either side of the cabinet.
IN11
IN12
If the door does not close correctly, loosen or tighten
the adjustable support feet, until the machine is
perfectly level.
Water Supply Connections
This dishwasher must be permanently plumbed into a
cold water supply.
The water pressure must be within the limits given in
the technical specifications, as it will not function correctly if pressure is outside these specifications.
To make this easier, the
hose itself may be turned to
the left or the right. In either
case, be sure to incorporate
the strainer (A) supplied
with the machine into the
joint. See picture.
CA06
Caution: the retaining ring must be correctly fitted to
avoid water leaks.
Avoid bends or kinks in the hose which could prevent
or slow down the flow of water.
If the machine is connected to new pipes or pipes
which have not been used for a long time, you are
advised to run the water for a few minutes before
connecting the inlet hose. This will prevent deposits of
sand or rust clogging the inlet hose filter.
Water Outlet Connection
The end of the drain hose can be connected as
follows:
to the sink outlet siphon, securing it if necessary with
a clip;
to a wall outlet provided with vent-hole, minimum
internal diameter 4 cm;
The waste connection must be at a height of between
30 cm (minimum) and 100 cm (maximum) from the
floor.

min 4 cm
Your local Water Authority will advise you on the average
mains pressure in your area.
Where the water is supplied via a cold water storage
cistern, you can work out the pressure yourself by measuring the vertical distance (or «head») between the
machine's inlet hose and the outlet from the cold water
storage cistern, allowing roughly 1 psi for every 2 feet.
For making the connection
itself, the coupling nut fitted
to the machine's supply
hose is designed to screw
onto either a 3/4 inch gas
thread spout, or to a pur-
A
pose made quick-coupling
tap such as the Press
CA04
Block.
CS05
+ 2 m max
It makes no difference which way the drain hose
faces, either to the right or left of the dishwasher.
Avoid bending or kinking the hose as this could
prevent or slow down the discharge of water.
If you use a drain hose extension it must be no longer
than 2 metres and its internal diameter must be no
smaller than the diameter of the hose provided.
Likewise the internal diameter of the couplings used
for connection to the waste outlet must be no smaller
than the diameter of the drain hose.
Note: The sink plug must not be in place when the
machine is draining as this could cause the water to
siphon back into the machine.

The Water Softener
Water contains varying amounts of lime and mineral
salts depending on the area in which you live: these
are deposited on the dishes leaving white marks.
The higher the content of these salts, the harder your
water will be. The «hardness» level is measured on 3
equivalent scales: French Degrees, German Degrees
or Parts Per Million.
Contact your local Water Authority to find the exact
water hardness level for your area.
The dishwasher is equipped with a softener which uses
special dishwasher salt to provide lime-free (softened)
water. The softener can treat water hardness up to 50
German degrees via 9 adjustment levels.
Find on the table below the level corresponding to the
hardness of your water and the required adjustments:
Level
The water softener is factory set at level 4 as this suits most users.

To set the dishwasher to a different level, proceed as
follows:
- Press the ON/OFF pushbutton on.
- Press the UPPER/LOWER and DELAY START
simultaneously for about 5 seconds until the short
«instruction accepted» signal is heard; an L followed
by number 4 (the hardness level set in factory) will
appear in the digital display .

Important
Salt MUST be used regularly from level 1 upward.
If your water is «level 0» it is already soft and therefore
there is no need to use salt.
Filling with Salt
Only use salt designed specifically for use in dishwashers. Other types of salt i.e.: table/cooking salt
contain high percentages of other substances which
may reduce the efficiency of the softener. To fill with
salt, unscrew the cap of the salt container.
Pour about half a litre of water inside the container, or
until it is full (this is necessary only before filling with
salt for the first time).
Then, using the funnel pro-
SALE
SALT
SALZ
SEL
SR06
Replace the cap making sure that there is no trace of
salt on the screw thread or on the gasket.
Screw the cap on tightly.
If you have inadvertently spilled salt select a wash
programme immediately after.
All that is then required is to periodically top up the
container with salt. You are reminded of this by the
Salt Indicator Light ; on the control panel illumi-
nates when the salt has finished.
The salt container always has some water inside
which will normally overflow when refilling with salt.
Important: The Salt Indicator Light on the control
panel can remain illuminated for 2-6 hours after the
salt has been replenished, assuring the dishwasher
remains switched on. If you are using salts that take
longer to dissolve then this can take longer. The function of the dishwasher is not affected.
vided, pour in the salt until
the container is full (approx.
1,5÷1,8 kg). Do not worry if
water over flows from the
unit when filling with salt this
is quite normal.
SO85
- Press the UPPER/LOWER button as many times as
necessary to make the required level appear in the
display. The level increases by 1 each time the
button is pressed.
- 5 seconds after this button has last been pressed,
the machine returns to programme setting mode and
memorises the level set.
Caution: Only fill with salt just before starting one of
the complete washing programmes (not the Rinse
and Hold programme). This will prevent any grains of
salt or salty water, which may have been spilled,
remaining on the bottom of the machine for any period
of time. This could cause corrosion.
