UNPACKAGING THE DISHWASHER
Remove inner protection
elements i.e. polystyrene
wedges holding the
baskets in place.
The specifications label is on the top edge of the interior of the door. This label must never
be removed, since it provides information about the exact model of the dishwasher, required
power supply, serial number and warranty.
IMPORTANT

The hose must run
between the wall and
the bottom space at
the back of the dis-
hwasher (b1) so that
it is not squashed or
overstretched.
A fixed drain outlet at a
distance of 25 - 100 cm
from the floor is recom-
mended.
Make sure the drain tube
is not too tight and that
there are no bends or
kinks in it.
Please refer to the speci-
fication label on the top
edge of the door before
making the electrical con-
nections. Make sure that
the power voltage con-
nected to the plug socket
is as shown on the label.
b
If your dishwasher has a
hot water inlet, connect
the pipe to the hot water
tap. In this case, the
maximum temperature
must not exceed 60ºC.
Bear in mind that this type
of water supply may affect
the washing and drying
capacity of the appliance.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
It is very important for the dishwasher to be connected to an earthed
plug socket. The electrical installation, plug, socket, fuses or circuit
breaker and meter must be capable of the maximum power shown
on the specifications label. If the power cable is damaged, it must be
replaced exclusively by the manufacturers, after-sales service (TAS)
or authorised personnel. If the appliance is to be recess-mounted
and integrated, the plug must be accessible after installation.

MANUAL
REGULATION
1
If there is a salt regulator
like the one shown in the
photographs (Mod. A-B)
inside your dishwasher on
the right-hand side, turn it
to the number that
corresponds to the
hardness of the water in
your area (see table).
To turn it to the correct
position, use a coin (Mod.
A) or a screwdriver (Mod.
B).
USING THE APPLIANCE - A FEW PRACTICAL TIPS
DISHWASHER
Adjusting water hardness. Before switching the dishwasher on, check the hardness of
the water in your area. This information is available from your local water board, the town hall,
the technical assistance service or you can use the Aquadur strip supplied in the bag of
accessories.
You may not need to use salt. If this is the case, you can go straight to the section on Rinse-aid.
Water contains lime. The higher the lime content, the harder the water. To prevent lime from
damaging your dishwasher, it has a water softener to eliminate lime from water and clean it ready
for the wash. This softener works with salt.
Controlling the salt level.
Depending on the model, dishwashers will have a manual or electronic salt level control.

the tub.
Important: use dishwasher
salt only.
On some models, the salt

lated from the control pa-
nel.
These models have 5 re-

The rinse-aid helps
drying and prevents
drops of water from clin-
ging to utensils after was-
hing. The rinse-aid contai-
ner is located on the
inside of the door, next to
the detergent container.
It has a 4-position dispen-
ser for adjusting the
amount of rinse-aid to the
water quality (the dispen-
ser is set at position 2 at
the factory).
If you notice drops of
water on utensils, increa-
se the position of the rin-
se-aid dispenser. If the
utensils have white or stic-
ky lines, lower the posi-
tion.
When do I need to
add salt?
Depending on the model,
a window on the lid of the
salt container or a light
indicator on the front of
the appliance show when
salt is required.
It is recommended that
you replace the used salt
every fortnight rather than
wait for the salt level indi-
cator to light up.
You should not use salt if your dishwasher does not need it.
In this case, the pilot light will remain on at all times.
IMPORTANT
A greater amount of rinse-aid does not
necessarily mean better results. In fact,
too much rinse-aid can lead to water
marks.
IMPORTANT
RINSE-AID CONTAINER
DISPENSER

Once the level of the
dispenser has been
set, fill the container
to the top, but do not
overfill it. If this oc-
curs, clean the spilla-
ge with a cloth.

When do I need to
add rinse-aid?
The dishwasher itself will
inform you of when the
rinse aid needs refilling.
A pilot light on the design
panel will come on when
a refill is necessary.
Using more detergent and rinse-aid than necessary does not improve the results
of your dishwasher and besides leading to higher costs, it has a negative
effect
on the environment.
ECOLOGICAL WASHING
The detergent is
poured into a container
on the inside of the door,
next to the rinse-aid
container.
Tablet, powder and liquid
detergent can be used.
The amount of detergent
required is shown in the
table on page 65.
Once the detergent
has been poured in,
close the lid.
Some programmes
require extra
detergent, and
should be placed in
the space in the
container lid.

Not all utensils can be
washed in a dishwasher.
Do not attempt to wash
items made of wood or
earthenware or plas-
tic that is not heat
resistant.
Stainless steel cut-
lery can be washed ea-
sily; however, ensure that
2
TABLEWARE AND UTENSILS. TYPES AND POSITIONING
silver cutlery does not
come into contact as they
may stain.
Items made of alumi-

Patterns on decora-
ted porcelain may
wear off if the quality is
not good. Check with the
manufacturer of China.
Only wash glasses that
are dishwasher-
compatible.
Cut glass should not be
washed in dishwasher.
Please make sure your utensils are dishwasher-compatible.
IMPORTANT
Placing the utensils in
the dishwasher
It is very important to pla-
ce the utensils correctly
in the racks to guarantee
a perfect wash.
The lower rack is for
dirtier, more resistant
items: pans, oven
dishes and plates.
Make sure there is
sufficient space
between each one for
the jet of water. Pots
must be placed
upside down.
If your model has
fold-down racks, you
can use them in
vertical position for
washing plates or in
horizontal position for
large items such as
saucepans.

opening of the detergent compartment cover.

Adjusting the racks
The racks can be adjus-
ted in accord with the
load.
The top rack can be pla-
ced at two different heights
for washing different-sized
plates.
In the upper position, the
top rack holds standard-
size plates of up to 19 cm
and the bottom rack holds
plates of up to 31 cm. In
the lower position, the top
rack holds plates of up to
24 cm and the bottom rack
holds plates of up to 26
cm.
Top rack model A:
This can be adjusted
without being remo-
ved from its rails,
even when loaded
with utensils. To raise
or lower its position,
pull the rack upwards
by the side handles.
Check that both sides
are at the same heig-
ht. If not, make them
level.
Top rack model B:
Remove the stop that
prevents the rack
wheels from coming
out of the rails. Pull
the rack towards you
and take it out. Posi-
tion the basket at the
height required. Re-
place the stop in its
original position ma-
king sure it fits right
in longitudinally on
the rail; you will hear
a click when it locks
in place.

There are various programme types depending on the dishwasher model:
It is very important to choose the wash programme in accordance with the type and amount of utensils and level
of soiling.
25 g of powder non-concentrated detergent is the equivalent of one and a half flat soup spoons or one tablet of detergent.
For tablet or liquid detergent, follow the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations.
* Values for a 60W motor and 12 place settings.
** In compliance with the EN-50242 standard, the economy wash programme takes longer than the other programmes; however,
it consumes less energy and is more environment-friendly. A 3-send continuous beep and a light indicate the end of the programme.
*** The Express programme requires powder or liquid detergent, which dissolves easier.

There a few things you should always bear in mind. If you do, your dishwasher will last longer
and be more efficient.
Fill the dishwasher: Try to make the most of your dishwasher’s capacity. This will help
you reduce water and electricity consumption and lead to quieter operation and be more
economical.
Place the dishes correctly. For optimum wash quality the sprinklers must turn freely.
The dishes must also be correctly placed so that the jet of water reaches them.
Programme selection. Select the correct wash programme and additional functions as
required.
Cleaning. Clean the filters and sprinklers every three months and ensure they are correctly
put back in place.
