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 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. Before putting the dishwasher into its definitive
position, turn on the water tap and check that there are no leaks from the
tap connection, the dishwasher connection or the hose.
Level the appliance on the floor using its adjustable feet. This operation
is essential for ensuring correct operation of the dishwasher.
This model is equipped with only one adjustable foot at the rear, which
can be adjusted by turning the screw on the lower front part of the
appliance.
Building-in a dishwasher underneath a hob is absolutely forbidden.
Moreover, dishwashers may not be installed directly touching
appliances which are not conventional built-in kitchen appliances (e.g.
fireplaces, stoves, etc.).
When installing the dishwasher in a compartment next to one or more
other appliances, it is essential to comply with all the recommendations
provided by the appliance’s manufacturer (minimum distances, installation
procedures, etc.).
- 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.
Take care to screw the hose firmly into
place with your hands and then complete by
tightening about ¼ of a turn with pliers.
This dishwashers is equipped with the A
QUASTOP
device, the filters is already fitted inside the threaded
ring.
The dishwasher can also be connected to a hot water supply
not
exceeding 60°C. Supplying the appliance with hot water cuts down the
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 4 cm, or alternatively,
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
30 and 100
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 85 cm from the ground.

3.2 Washing programs
The dishwasher is equipped with a control panel an and
3
-
FIGURE
DISPLAY (12), “section 3.1” described in chapter "3. Description of the
controls", from which it is possible to carry out all the power switch-on,
switch-off and programming operations.
Before starting a washing program make sure that:
•The water supply tap is open.
•The correct amount of detergent has been added to the
dispenser.
•The baskets have been correctly loaded.
•The spray arms are able to rotate freely and without
obstruction.
•The dishwasher door is securely closed.
AUTOMATIC OPENING DOOR
This option can be selected with the wash programme of choice to
further reduce energy consumption. Drying is aided by a special
device that automatically releases the door, which opens slowly and
smoothly by a few centimetres. Once the door has opened, the end of
the wash cycle is indicated by a short beep.
This option only works on 2 programs i.e daily half load wash and Auto
Programs and extends the cycle time.
When the function is activated, opening of the door must not be
impeded in any way; do not leave anything in the space in front of the
door necessary to allow it to open.
Do not re-close the door during automatic opening as this would
damage the mechanism. Wait for the pushers to retract before re-closing
the door.

•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.
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.
ENERGY MANAGEMENT
After 5 minutes of waiting (washing cycle completed, stopped or set but
not started) the dishwasher switches to a standby state to reduce
energy consumption.
In this state, the dishwasher indicator panel (lights or display depending
on model) functions more slowly (switch-on once every 5 seconds).
REMOVING THE DISHES
At the end of the washing program, wait at least 20 minutes before
removing the dishes, to allow them to cool down. To prevent any water
droplets on the upper basket from falling on the dishes in the lower
basket, it is advisable to unload the lower basket first, and then the
upper basket.

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 detergent
dispenser is on the left, and the
rinse aid dispenser is on the right.
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.
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.

19
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.
