•Do not carry out any preliminary rinsing.
•If available, connect the dishwasher to a hot water supply up to 60°C.
•When possible, disable the drying cycle and leave the door open at
the end of the washing cycle: the residual air and heat will dry the
dishes perfectly.
TO CUT DOWN ON DETERGENT CONSUMPTION! … AND PROTECT
THE ENVIRONMENT
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.
If the door has to be opened while washing is in progress, the program
will be interrupted. The relative light will keep flashing and a beeper will
signal that the cycle has not been completed. You must wait about 1
minute before closing the door to restart the program. When the door is
closed the program will continue from where it was interrupted. This
operation should only be carried out if strictly necessary, because it
might cause problems in execution of the program.

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 ensure stability, install integrated or built-under
dishwashers only under continuous worktops, and screw them to the
adjacent units. 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.
Level the appliance on the floor using its adjustable feet. This operation
is essential for ensuring correct operation of the dishwasher.
Building-in a dishwasher underneath a ceramic hob is absolutely
forbidden.
A dishwasher can be built-in underneath a conventional hob provided
there is no break in the kitchen worktop, and the dishwasher and hob
are installed and secured correctly, so that no hazards are
generated.
For free-standing models only
-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.
Some models are 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.

Installation instructions

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, inserting the filter Asupplied with the
dishwasher. Take care to screw the hose firmly into
place with your hands and then complete by
tightening about ¼ of a turn with pliers.
In dishwashers equipped with the ACQUASTOP
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.

Installation instructions

2.2 Electrical connection and precautions
CHECK THAT THE VOLTAGE AND THE FREQUENCY OF THE MAINS MATCH
THE RATINGS ON THE NAME PLATE OF THE APPLIANCE POSITIONED ON

CENTRE. AFTER CHANGING THE SUPPLY CORD, MAKE SURE THAT THE
BRACKET WHICH SECURES THE CORD IS FIXED SECURELY IN PLACE.
DO NOT USE ADAPTORS OR SHUNT CONNECTIONS IN ORDER TO AVOID
THE POSSIBILITY OF OVERHEATING OR BURNING.
IF THE APPLIANCE IS PROVIDED WITH A PLUGLESS SUPPLY CORD:
IT IS NECESSARY TO INSTALL IN THE FIXED WIRING AN ALL-POLE
DISCONNECTION DEVICE HAVING A GAP BETWEEN CONTACTS OF AT
LEAST 3.5MM. AFTER INSTALLATION THE DISCONNECTION DEVICE HAS
TO BE EASY TO REACH.
THE CONNECTION TO THE MAINS MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY A
QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN IN ACCORDANCE TO THE SCHEME SHOWN
BELOW AND THE REGULATIONS IN FORCE.

Installation instructions

WHEN CLEANING AND MAINTAINING THE APPLIANCE:
BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY WORK, ALWAYS UNPLUG THE APPLIANCE
FROM THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY OR SWITCH OFF THE ALL-POLE
DISCONNECTION DEVICE.
FOR GREAT BRITAIN ONLY:
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
Fuse replacement
If the mains lead of this appliance is fitted
with a BS 1363A 13amp fused plug, to
change a fuse in this type of plug use an
A.S.T.A. approved fuse to BS 1362 type
and proceed as follows:
1. Remove the fuse cover Aand fuse B.
2. Fit replacement 13A fuse into fuse
cover.
3. Refit both into plug.
The fuse cover must be refitted when changing a fuse and if the fuse
cover is lost the plug must not be used until a correct replacement is
fitted.
Correct replacement are identified by the colour insert or the colour
embossed in words on the base of the plug.
Replacement fuse covers are available from your local electrical store.

3. Operating instructions
Once the dishwasher has been correctly installed, prepare for use as
follows:
•Adjust the water softening system;
•Add the regenerating salt;
•Add the rinse aid and detergent.
3.1 Using the water softening system
The amount of scale contained in the
water (water hardness index) can cause
whitish staining on the dry dishes, which
tend to become dull over time. The
dishwasher is equipped with an automatic
softening system which uses a special
regenerating salt to reduce the hardness
of the water.
The dishwasher is factory set for water
hardness level 3(average hardness
41-60°dF –24-31°dH).
When using water of medium hardness, the regenerating salt container
should be refilled after approximately 20 washing cycles. The salt
container can hold approximately 1.5 Kg of salt in grains. Some models
are equipped with an optical no-salt indicator. In these models, the cap
of the salt container contains a green float which descends as the salt
concentration in the water drops. When the green float can no longer be
seen through the transparent cap, the container must be topped up with
regenerating salt. The container is situated at the bottom of the
dishwasher. After removing the lower basket, unscrew the salt container
cap by turning it anticlockwise and pour in the salt using the funnel
supplied with the dishwasher. Before replacing the cap, remove any salt
residues from around the opening.
•When using the dishwasher for the first time, in addition to the salt it
is also necessary to add one litre of water to the container.
•Each time the salt container is refilled, make sure that the cap is
securely closed. The mixture of water and detergent must never
penetrate the salt container, as this would compromise the operation
of the regeneration system. In the event of this occurring, the
warranty will be invalidated.
•Only use regenerating salt specially formulated for domestic
dishwashers. If using salt tablets, do not fill the container
completely.
SALT

User instructions

•Do not use table salt as it contains insoluble substances which,
over time, may damage the water softening system.
•When necessary, refill the regenerating salt container before
starting the washing program. In this way, the excess saline
solution will be immediately removed by the water; the prolonged
presence of salt water inside the tank may lead to corrosion.
Be careful not to confuse the salt and detergent packages; adding
detergent to the salt container will damage the water softening system.
3.2 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.
