7. Installations and Accessory Parts
7.1 Positioning the Appliance
Position the appliance in the desired location. The back should rest against the wall behind
it, and the sides, along the adjacent cabinets or wall. The dishwasher is equipped with water
supply and drain hoses that can be positioned on the right or the left to facilitate proper
installation.
7.2 Leveling the Appliance
Once the appliance is positioned, adjust the feet (screw them in or out) to adjust the
dishwasher, making it level. In any case, the appliance should not be inclined more than 2°.
If the appliance is level, it will help ensure proper performance.

Installation and Accessory Parts
7.3 Cold Water Connection
Connect the cold water supply hose to a threaded 3/4(gas) connector, inserting the small
filter supplied with the dishwasher and making sure that it is fastened tightly in place (see
Fig.1) If the water pipes are new or have not
been used for an extended period of time, let
the water run to make sure that the water is
clear and free of impurities. If this precaution is
not taken, there is a risk that the water inlet
can get blocked and damage the appliance.
7.4 Hot Water Connection
The water supply to the appliance can also be
connected to the
house's hot water line (centralised system,
heating system), as long as it does not exceed a temperature of 60℃. In this case, the
wash cycle time will be shortened by about 15 minutes and the wash efficiency slightly
reduced.
7.5 Drain Hose Connection
Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe with a minimum diameter of 4cm,or let it run into the
sink, making sure to avoid bending or crimping it. Use the special plastic support that comes
with the appliance (see Fig.2). The free end of the hose must be at a height between 40 and
100 cm and must not be immersed in water.
7.6Electrical Connection
After making sure that the voltage and frequency values for the current in the home
correspond to those on the rating plate (located on the stainless steel inner door of the
appliance) and that the electrical system is correct for the maximum voltage on the rating
plate, insert the plug into an electrical socket which is earthed properly (the earthing of the
appliance is a safety requirement mandated by law). If the electrical socket to which the
appliance must be connected is not appropriate for the plug, replace the plug ,rather than
using adpators or the like as they could cause overheating and burns.

Parts and functions
Salt
The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard water is used in the
shwasher,deposits will form on the dishes utensils.
The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses a salt specifically designed to
eliminate lime and minerals from the water.
Loading the Salt into the Softener
Always use salt intended for use with dishwashers.
The salt container is located beneath the lower rack and should be filled as follows:
- Remove the lower rack and then unscrew and remove the cap from the salt container;
- If you are filling the container for the first time, fill it with water;
- Place the end of the funnel(supplied) into the hole and introduce about 2 kg of salt.It is
normal for a small amount of water to come out of the salt
container.
- Carefully screw the cap back on.
The salt container must be filled when the "low salt"
indicator light (located on the control panel) comes on.
To prevent the formation of rust, load the salt just before
beginning a wash cycle.
Adjusting Salt Consumption
The dishwasher is designed to allow for
adjusting the amount of salt consumed based
on the hardness of the
water used. This is
intened to optimize and
customize the level of
salt consumption so
that it remains at a
minimum. Your local
Water Board can
supply the degree of hardness of the water in
your area.
To adjust salt consumption, proceed as follows:
- Unscrew the cap from the salt container;
- There is a ring on the container with an arrow on it (see figure to the side), If necessary,
rotate the ring in the anticlockwise direction from the "-" setting towards the "+" sign, based
on the hardness of the water being used. It is recommended that adjustments be made in
accordance with the following scheme:

Parts and functions
Detergent
Detergent specifically intended for use with dishwashers must be used.The dispenser must
be refilled before the start of each wash cycle following the instructions provided in the
"Wash Cycle Table." The detergent dispenser is located on the inside panel the door.
Loading the detergent
To open the "A" cover on the dispenser,press the "B" button.The detergent for the wash
cycle should be poured into the "C" compartment.
After the detergent has been placed in the dispenser, close the cover and press down until it
clicks in place.
Notice:To facilitate closing the cover, remove any e
xcess detergent on the edges of the dispenser.
Rinse Aid
This product makes dishes sparkle and
helps them to dry without spotting.The
dispenser is located on the inside panel of
the door and should be filled after every
80 wash cycle (or when the rinse aid
indicator light comes on for those models
with this feature).
Loading the Rinse Aid
To open the dispenser,turn the "C" cap in the anti-clockwise direction and then pour in the
rinse aid,making sure not to overfill.The amount of rinse aid used for each cycle can be
regulated by turning the "F" dose adjustor ,located beneath the "C" cap, with a
screwdriver.There are 6 different settings; the normal dosage setting is 3.
Important
Proper dosage of the rinse aid improves
drying.
If drops of water remain on the dishes or
spotting occurs,the dosage adjustor should
be turned to a higher setting.
If the dishes have white streaks,turn the
dosage adjustor to a lower setting.
