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 e uipped 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 e uivalent scales, German
degrees, French degrees and PPM (parts per Million).
The softener should be 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 this level is not suitable for your area the softener should be
adjusted.
If your water is level 0 it is already soft and therefore
there is no need to use salt.
With the setting of the water softener at level 0 the salt
indicator light on the control panel will always remain off.
Use salt from level 1 upwards.
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 "half load" and "drying options" push buttons
simultaneously for about 5 seconds. In the display appears
a "L" followed by a number which corresponds to the
current level.
2. Press within 5 seconds the "drying options" push button
(the "no dry" indicator light flashes) as many times as
necessary until the re uired level appears in the display.
The level increases by 1 each time the button is pressed.
3. 5 seconds after this button has last been pressed, the
dishwasher memorises the level selected and returns to the
programme setting mode.
The setting will remain memorised after switching off the
dishwasher.
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 uite
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 re uire topping up periodically.
You are reminded of this by 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 take longer to dissolve then
this can take longer. The function 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
about 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 by turning the lid (A) anticlockwise.
2. Add the rinse aid until the container is completely full.
The indicator (B) will be completely dark.
3. Top up the rinse aid when the rinse aid indicator light on
the control panel illuminates.
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 absorbent
cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next wash.
Adjusting the dose
According to the finish and drying results obtained, adjust the
dose of rinse aid by 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 by pulling the catch (D).
2. Add the detergent according to the recommended uantity
given in the "Washing programmes" chart.
As all detergents are not the same, you should 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 detergent dispenser.
Follow the recommended uantity of detergent given in the
"Washing programmes" chart.
If using detergent in tablets proceed as follows:
1. For all programmes; place 1 tablet inside the detergent
dispenser.
2. Always close the lid.
3. For all programmes with prewash; place a portion of a
further tablet on the lid of the detergent dispenser.
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 been replaced by natural enzymes and
other more biodegradable substances.
The enzymes deploy their full dirt dissolving power at a
temperature as low as 50°C.
By choosing the "Bio 50°C" programmes you can therefore
achieve the same cleaning results that would otherwise be
achievable only with 65°C programmes and conventional
detergents.
These new compact powders are generally phosphate-free.

Loading your appliance
Before placing dishes in the machine, remove any scraps of
food, to avoid clogging the filters and conse uently reducing
the performance.
Do not load very small items which can fall through the
baskets.
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.
Large dishes and lids should be arranged around the edge of
the basket, ensuring that the upper spray arm can turn freely.
The two rear rows of prongs on the lower basket can be easily
lowered to allow you to load pots, pans and bowls.
To lower the prongs:
- Slightly pull them upward and let them drop down (see
picture).
- To bring them back to the standing position, just pull them
up again.
The cutlery basket
Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a
potential hazard.
These items should only be placed in the removable knife
basket.
Take care when loading or unloading sharp items such as
knives.
Removable knife basket
Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives
must be placed horizontally in the removable knife basket,
which is positioned at the rear of the upper basket.
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.
Ensure that cutlery is positioned in the compartments and that
soiled surfaces do not touch each other.
Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent them from sticking
together.
Silver cutlery tends to go black if mixed with steel cutlery.
Place it in the cutlery basket separate from the others.
For best results we recommend to use the cutlery grid
provided (if the size and dimensions of the cutlery allow it).
The upper basket
The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates,
saucers, dinner plates of up to 25 cm in diameter), salad
bowls, cups and glasses.
Arrange items on and underneath the cup racks so that water
can reach all surfaces.
Light items (plastic bowls etc.) should be loaded in the upper
basket and arranged so they do not move.
Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can
rotate freely.
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.

Adjusting the height of the upper
basket
If washing very large plates (over 27 cm and up to 32 cm in
diameter) 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. Pull out the basket until it stops.
2. Carefully lift both sides upwards until the mechanism is
engaged and the basket is stable.
Attention!
Never lift or lower the basket on one side only.
When the top basket is in the higher position it will only take
plates up to 20 cm in diameter and you will not be able to use
the cup racks.
To lower the basket to the original position proceed as
follows:
1. Pull out the basket until it stops.
2. Carefully lift both sides upwards and the allow the
mechanism to drop back slowly, keeping hold of it.
After loading your machine always close the door, as an
open door can be a hazard.
To save energy
Place dishes in the machine immediately after every meal and
wait until the dishwasher is full before washing.
If necessary run the Rinse and Hold programme (see
"Washing Programmes" chart) so that any food scraps do not
become caked on the dishes while you are waiting to run the
complete wash programme.
Do not prewash dishes under running water.
Select an economic/ uick programme when dishes are not
very soiled, following the instructions given in the "Washing
programmes" chart.
Select the no dry option.
Select the half load option if only a few dishes need washing.
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 between the dishes as far as possible.
Items not suitable for dishwashers
The following items should not be washed in the dishwasher
(unless they are sold as dishwasher proof):
- Cutlery with wooden or horn handles or glued parts
- bronze cutlery
- saucepans with wooden handles
- aluminium ware
- crystal ware
- leaded glass
- plastic items
- anti ue or fine decorated china
Certain types of decoration can discolour when washed in a
dishwasher.
Crystal-ware and plastic objects, if not guaranteed dishwasher
proof should be washed by hand.
Certain types of glass can also become opa ue
after being washed several times in a dishwasher.
A chemical reaction can occur between silver cutlery and
stainless steel cutlery. As a precaution, do not wash together.
Iron and cast iron objects can rust and stain other items.
Aluminium tends to go black, copper, pewter and brass tend to
stain.
If in doubt check with manufacturer of the item.
When buying new dishes, ensure that they are
dishwasher proof.

Important!
In general it is not advisable to open the door while
the machine is working; if the door is opened
however, a safety device ensures that the machine
stops.
Care must be taken if the door is opened during the
hot phase or immediately after a programme has
finished, as steam may escape.
When the washing programme has finished, it is
recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and
the water tap turned off.
24
Operating sequence

Internal cleaning
Ensure that the seals around the door, the detergent and rinse
aid dispensers are cleaned regularly with a damp cloth.
We recommend every 3 months to run a 65°C wash
programme without dishes using detergent.
Cleaning the central filter
(After each wash)
Scraps of food may accumulate in the drain filter (A) and
should be removed by rinsing the filter under running water.
To remove the drain filter
- simply pull it out by the handle.
Once cleaned, refit the filter by pushing it back to its original
position until it engages.
Cleaning the large filter
(Every week)
If necessary clean the large filter (B) on both sides under
running water, using a brush.
To remove the large filter
1. Remove the spray arm by pulling it upwards on one side.
2. Turn the column (C) anticlockwise by 90° and then slide out
the filter.
3. Once cleaned refit it following the above instructions in
reverse order.
4. Ensure the filter is in its original position, the handle of the
drain filter should be pointing towards the front of the
appliance.
The dishwasher must not be used without filters.
Incorrect repositioning and fitting of the filters will
produce poor washing results.
Cleaning the filters is vital to ensure correct operation of
the machine.
External cleaning
Clean the external surfaces of the machine and control panel
with a damp soft cloth. If necessary use only neutral
detergents. Never use abrasive products, scouring pads or
solvent (acetone, trichloroethylene etc....).
Prolonged periods of non-operation
If you are not using the machine for any period of time you are

The dishwasher is fitted with a number of alarm systems which can help you to uickly determine the cause of any problems.
The dishwasher will not start or stops during operation, all push buttons are inoperative except for the On/Off push button. All
indicator lights turn off. In the digital display one of the following flashing fault codes will appear AL1, AL2, AL3, AL4, AL5, AL6,
AL7, AL8 and an audible signal will inform you of the alarm intervention.
Open the door and press the On/Off push button to switch off the dishwasher, carry out the following suggested corrective actions

Service and spare parts
This product should be serviced by an authorised Service
engineer, and only genuine spare parts should be used.
Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the
machine yourself.
Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause
injury or serious malfunctioning. Contact your local
Service Force Centre.
Always insist on genuine spare parts.
Protection against flooding
The machine is fitted with a device in the bottom of the
machine to protect against flooding. The device will operate if
there are any water leaks in the machine, however it will only
operate if the machine is on.
In case of intervention a fault code will appear in the digital
display "AL4". In this case, turn off the water tap and call the
Service Force Centre.
Security system
Inlet hose
The inlet hose has a high pressure resistance. It can sustain
pressures up to 6000 kPa (60 bar), 6 times a normal hose.
As a further safeness, the inlet hose is protected with a
sheathing against eventual damages.
In case of breakage of the inner hose, the water that is in the
hose will become blue, this is visible across the special
transparent sheathing.
In this case turn off the water tap and call the Service Centre.
The inlet hose is also fitted with a safety device to prevent
inadvertent loosening (see "Water supply connections").

Remove all packaging before positioning the machine.
If possible, position the machine next to a water tap and a
drain.
Any electrical work required to install this appliance
should be carried out by a qualified electrician or
competent person.
Any plumbing work required to install this appliance
should be carried out by a qualified plumber or competent
person.
Water supply connections
This dishwasher may be fed with either hot (max. 60°) 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 be 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 be
turned either to the left or the right to suit the installation.
The locknut must be correctly fitted to avoid water leaks.
Avoid bends 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 been used for a long time, you should 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.
Do not use, for connection, old hoses which have been
used in another appliance.
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 uick-coupling
tap such as the Press-block.
The inlet hose is fitted with a
safety device to prevent
inadvertent loosening.
To detach the hose, press the
lever (B) and turn the
retaining ring (A)
anticlockwise.
Water outlet hose connection
The end of the drain hose can be connected in the following
ways:
1. To the sink outlet siphon, 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 be at a height of between 30 cm
(minimum) and 100 cm (maximum) from the bottom of the
dishwasher.
The drain hose can face either to the right or left of the
dishwasher
Ensure the hose is not bent or s uashed 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
connections to the waste outlet must be no smaller than the
diameter of the hose provided.
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.
Attention!
Our appliances are supplied with a security device to
protect against the return of dirty water back into the
machine. If the spigot of your sink 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 re uired.
Make sure that the socket and plug are compatible 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.
