Before using your dishwasher for the
first time:
1. Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply
with the installation instructions
2. Remove all packaging from inside the appliance
3. Set the water softener
4. Pour 1 litre of water inside the salt container and then fill
with salt
5. Fill the rinse aid dispenser.
6. Run a Rinse and Hold programme.
Setting the water softener
The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener designed to
remove minerals and salts from the water supply, which would
have a detrimental or adverse effect on the operation of the
appliance.
The higher the content of these salts, the harder your water is.
Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, German
degrees, French degrees and PPM (parts per Million).
The softener should e adjusted according to the hardness of
the water in your area. Your local Water Authority can advise
you on the hardness of the water in your area.
The dishwasher is factory set at level 4.
If your water is level 1 it is already soft and therefore there
is no need to use salt.
With the setting of the water softener at level 1 the salt
indicator light on the control panel will always remain off.
Use salt from level 2 upwards.

Audible signals
Audi le signals have een introduced to help indicate which
operations the dishwasher is performing.
Short "instruction accepted" signal
When any of the push uttons are pressed (except the
On/Off push utton), a short audi le signal informs you that
the machine has accepted the instruction given.
Long "programme run" signal
A continuous audi le signal informs you that the washing
programme is starting.
Intermittent "end of programme" signal
An intermittent audi le signal informs you that the wash
programme has ended.
To deactivate these audible signals, press simultaneously
and keep pressed oth "Normal 65°" and "Bio 50°" push
uttons for a out 3 seconds, until the short intermittent audi le
signal is no longer heard, this means that the audi le signals
have een deactivated.
To reactivate these audible signals, press simultaneously
and keep pressed oth "Normal 65°" and "Bio 50°" push
uttons for a out 3 seconds, until a short intermittent audi le
signal is heard, this means that the audi le signals have een
reactivated.
Both operations (to deactivate or reactivate the audible
signals) must be carried out before starting a washing
programme; the setting will remain memorised after
switching off the dishwasher.

If this level is not suita le for your area the softener should e
adjusted.
Each push utton corresponds to a different level (see chart).
The adjustment of the water softener is possible only with
the machine in setting mode.
To select a different level proceed as follows:
1. Press "Normal 65°" and "Quic 50°" programme push
uttons simultaneously for a out 5 seconds. The indicator
light corresponding to the current level flashes.
2. Press the programme push utton corrrsponding to the
required level.
3. 5 seconds after having pressed any of the programme push
uttons, the dishwasher memorises the level selected and
returns to the programme setting mode.
Filling with salt
Only use salt specifically designed for use in
dishwashers.
All other types of salt not specifically designed for use in
a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water
softener.
Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete
washing programmes. 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, which
may cause corrosion.
To fill:
1. To fill with salt, unscrew the cap of the salt container.
2. Pour 1 litre of water inside the container (this is necessary
only before filling with salt for the first time).
3. Using the funnel provided,
pour in the salt until the
container is full.
Do not worry if water over
flows from the unit when
filling with salt, this is quite
normal.
4. Replace the cap making
sure that there is no trace
of salt on the screw thread
or on the gasket.
5. Screw on the cap tightly.
The salt container will require topping up periodically.
You are reminded of this y the salt indicator light on the
control panel which comes on when the salt has finished.
The salt indicator light on the control panel can remain
illuminated for 2-6 hours after the salt has been
replenished, assuming the dishwasher remains switched
on. If you are using salts that ta e longer to dissolve then
this can ta e longer.
The operation of the machine is not affected.
Rinse aid
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring
thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying. The
dispenser, which is positioned inside the door, holds a out 110
ml of rinse aid, which is sufficient for 16 - 40 dishwashing
programmes, depending upon the dosage setting.
Filling with rinse aid
1. Open the container y turning the lid (A) anticlockwise.
2. Add the rinse aid until the container is completely full.
The indicator (B) will e completely dark.
3. Top up the rinse aid when indicator (B) ecomes clear.
Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill.
Do not put liquid detergent in the rinse aid compartment. Clean
up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an a sor ent cloth to
avoid excess foaming during the next wash.
Adjusting the dose
According to the finish and drying results o tained, adjust the
dose of rinse aid y means of the 6 position selector (C)
(position 1 minimum dosage, position 6 maximum dosage).
Increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on
the dishes after washing.
Reduce it if there are sticky whitish streaks on the dishes.

Use of detergent
Only use detergents specifically designed for use in
dishwashers.
If using powder detergents proceed as follows:
1. Open the dispenser lid y pulling the catch (D).
2. Add the detergent according to the instructions given in the
Washing programmes chart.
As all detergents are not the same, you should also consult
the instructions on the packet.
3. Always close the lid.
4. If the programme has a prewash add a little amount of
detergent over the lid of the dispenser.
Follow the recommended quantity of detergent given in the
Washing programmes chart.
If using detergent in tablets proceed as follows:
1. For all programmes; place 1 ta let inside the detergent
dispenser.
2. Always close the lid.
3. For all programmes with prewash; place a portion of a
further ta let on the lid of the detergent dispenser.
Only in case of use of detergent in ta lets with Quic 50°
programme, it is advisa le to put the ta let directly in the
dishwasher and not in the dispenser or in special ta let
containers.
Insufficient quantities of detergent will produce poor
washing results, whereas an excessive amount of
detergent will not improve washing results and is also
wasteful.
Using no more than the correct amount also contributes
to reducing pollution.
Compact detergents with enzymes
In these compact powders the environmentally unfriendly
components have een replaced y natural enzymes and
other more iodegrada le su stances.
The enzymes deploy their full dirt dissolving power at a
temperature as low as 50°C.
By choosing the BIO programmes you can therefore achieve
the same cleaning results that would otherwise e achieva le
only with 65°C programmes and conventional detergents.

To save energy
Place dishes in the machine immediately after every meal and
wait until the dishwasher is full efore washing.
Do not prewash dishes under running water.
For best washing results
Before loading, remove all scraps of food and soak very
heavily soiled pots and pans.
Arrange saucepans, cups and glasses etc. upside-down.
Tilt items with convex or concave surfaces so that the water
drains off easily.
Avoid contact etween the dishes as far as possi le.
Items not suitable for dishwashers
The following items should not e washed in the dishwasher
(unless they are sold as dishwasher proof):
- Cutlery with wooden or horn handles or glued parts
- ronze cutlery
- saucepans with wooden handles
- aluminium ware
- crystal ware
- leaded glass
- plastic items
- antique or fine decorated china
Certain types of decoration can discolour when washed in a
dishwasher.
Crystal-ware and plastic o jects, if not guaranteed dishwasher
proof should e washed y hand.
Certain types of glass can also ecome opaque
after eing washed several times in a dishwasher.
Achemical reaction can occur etween silver cutlery and
stainless steel cutlery. As a precaution, do not wash together.
Iron and cast iron o jects can rust and stain other items.
Aluminium tends to go lack, copper, pewter and
rass tend to stain.
If in doubt chec with manufacturer of the item.
When buying new dishes, ensure that they are dishwasher
proof.
Hints and tips

Loading your appliance
Before placing dishes in the machine, remove any scraps of food,
to avoid clogging the filters and consequently reducing the
performance.
Do not load very small items which can fall through the
bas ets.
Open the door and slide out the askets to load the dishes.
The lower bas et
The lower asket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates,
salad owls, cutlery etc.
Serving dishes and large lids should e arranged around the
edge of the asket, ensuring that the upper spray arm can turn
freely.
The two rear rows of prongs on the lower asket can e easily
lowered to allow you to load pots, pans and owls.
To lower the prongs:
- Slightly pull them upward and let them drop down (see picture).
- To ring them ack to the standing position, just pull them up
again.
The cutlery bas et
Long bladed nives stored in an upright position are a
potential hazard. These items should only be placed in the
removable nife bas et. Ta e care when loading or
unloading sharp items such as nives.
Removable nife bas et
Long and/or sharp items
of cutlery such as
carving knives must e
positioned horizontally in
the remova le knife
asket which is
positioned at the rear of
the upper asket.
Cutlery should e placed in the remova le cutlery asket with the
handles facing downwards.
If the handles protrude from the ottom of the asket, o structing
the lower spray arm, load the cutlery with the handles facing
upwards.
Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent them from sticking
together.
Silver cutlery tends to go lack if mixed with steel cutlery. Place it
in the cutlery asket separate from the others.
For est results we
recommend to use the cutlery
grid provided (if the size and
the dimensions of the cutlery
allow it).The cutlery asket
can e placed either to the left
or to the right of the lower
asket.
The upper bas et
The upper asket is designed for plates (dessert plates, saucers,
dinner plates of up to 25 cm in diameter), salad owls, cups and
glasses.
Arrange items so that water can
reach all surfaces.
Glasses with long stems can e
placed upside down in the cup
racks.
Light items (plastic owls etc.)
should e loaded in the upper
asket 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 asket, tilting
them 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 bas et
If washing very large plates (over 27 cm and up to 32 cm in
diameter) you can load them in the lower asket after moving the
upper asket to the higher position.
To move to the higher
position proceed as follows:
1. Move the front runnner
stops (A) of the upper
asket outwards and slide
the asket out.
2. Refit the asket in the
higher position and replace
the stops (A) in their original
position.
When the top bas et is in the higher position it will only ta e
plates up to 20 cm in diameter and you will not be able to
use the cup rac s.
After loading your machine always close the door, as an
open door can be a hazard.

Remove all packaging efore positioning the machine.
If possi le, position the machine next to a water tap and a
drain.
Attention!
Carefully follow the instructions on the enclosed template for
uilding in the dishwasher and fitting the furniture panel.
Water supply connections
This dishwasher may e fed with either hot (max. 50°) or cold
water. Nevertheless we advise you a cold water supply.
A hot water supply is not always efficient with very soiled
crockery as it shortens the washing programmes a lot.
The water pressure must e within the limits given in the
technical specifications.
Your local Water Authority will advise you on the average
mains pressure in your area.
The dishwasher features fill and drain hoses which can e
turned either to the left or the right to suit the installation. The
locknut must e correctly fitted to avoid water leaks.
Avoid ends or kinks in the hose which could prevent or slow
down the water supply.
If the machine is connected to new pipes or pipes which have
not een used for a long time, you should run the water for a
few minutes efore connecting the inlet hose. This will prevent
deposits of sand or rust clogging the inlet hose filter.
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 purpose made quick-coupling
tap such as the Press- lock.
Do not use, for connection, old hoses which have been
used in another appliance.
Water outlet hose connection
The end of the drain hose can e connected in the following
ways:
1. To the sink outlet spigot, securing it if necessary with a clip.
2. To a stand pipe provided with vent-hole, minimum internal
diameter 4 cm.
The waste connection must e at a height of etween 30 cm
(minimum) and 100 cm (maximum) from the ottom of the
dishwasher.
The drain hose can face either to the right or left of the
dishwasher
Ensure the hose is not ent or squashed as this could prevent
or slow down the discharge of water.
If you use a drain hose extension it must e no longer than 2
metres and its internal diameter must e no smaller than the
diameter of the hose provided.
Likewise the internal diameter of the couplings used for
connections to the waste outlet must e no smaller than the
diameter of the hose provided.
The sink plug must not e in place when the machine is
draining as this could cause the water to siphon ack into the
machine.
Attention!
Our appliances are supplied with a security device to
protect against the return of dirty water bac into the
machine.
If the spigot of your sin has a "no return valve"
incorporated this can prevent the correct draining of your
dishwasher.
We advise you therefore to remove it.
Electrical connection
Before plugging the appliance into the wall socket, make sure
that:
1. The mains voltage corresponds to the voltage given in the
"Technical specifications".
2. The meter, fuses, mains power supply and wall socket can
all take the maximum load required.
Make sure that the socket and plug are compati le without
having to use any type of adaptor. If necessary, have the
domestic wiring system socket replaced.
Safety standards require the appliance to be
earthed.
The manufacture accepts no liability for failure to observe
the above safety precautions.
