Cutlery and tableware manufactured in whole or part from wood.They become faded
and unsightly in appearance.Furthermore,the adhesives that are used are not suitable
for the temperature that occur inside the dishwasher.Delicate decorative glassware
and vases,special antique or irreplaceable china. The decorative patterns on such
items will not be dishwasher-proof.
Plastic objects that are not resistant to hot water, copper and pewter utensils are
also not suitable. Decorative patterns printed or painted onto the surface of crockery,
glasses, etc.,aluminium and silver items tend to become discoloured or faded if
washed in the diswasher. Some types of glass can become opaque in appearance
after they have been washed many times in a dishwasher. Highly absorbent materials,
such as sponges and towels,should never be placed in the dishwasher.
Our recommendation
In future, only purchase table or kitchenware that has been confirmed as being
dishwasher-proof.
Dishes or cutlery that have been soiled by tobacco ash,
wax, Iubricating grease or paint, should not be put in the
dishwasher.
Important:
Damage to glassware and other dishes
Possible causes
Type of glass or manufacturing process
Chemical composition of detergent
Water temperature and duration of dishwasher programme.
Suggested remedy
Use glassware or porcelain dishes that have been marked ‘dishwasher-proof’ by
the manufacture.
Use a mild detergent that is described as ‘kind to dishes’. If necessary, seek further

possible after the programme has ended. 4

EN
How to keep your dishwasher in shape
After every wash
Remove the plug
No solvents or abrasive cleaning products
After every wash, turn off the water supply of the appliance and leave the door
slightly ajar so that moisture and odors are not trapped inside.
Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always switch off the appliance, and
remove the plug from the socket. Do not run risks.
To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not use solvents or
abrasive cleaning products. Rather, It is recommended that you use only a cloth
and warm soapy water.
To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use a cloth dampened
with water and a little white vinegar, or cleaning product made specifically for
dishwashers.
Moving the appliance
Seals
When you go on holiday
If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in a vertical position. If absolutely
necessary, it can be positioned on its back.
One of the factors that cause odors to form in the dishwasher is food that remains
trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this from
occurring.
The door should not be left in the open position since this could present a tripping
hazard.
When you go on holiday, it is recommended that you run a wash cycle with the
dishwasher empty and then remove the plug from the socket, turn off the water
supply and leave the door of the appliance slightly ajar. This will help the seals last
longer and prevent odors from forming within the appliance.

EN
Installation
Positioning the appliance
Positioning the appliance in the desired location. The back of the appliance should
rest against the wall, and the sides, along the adjacent cabinets or wall. The
dishwasher is equipped with water supply and drain hoses that can be positioned
to the right or the left to facilitate proper installation.
Levelling the appliance
Once the appliance is positioned, adjust the feet (screwing them in or out) to adjust
the dishwasher, making it level. The appliance should not be inclined more than
2˚. If the appliance is level, it will help ensure proper performance.
Cold water connection
Connect the water supply hose to a
threaded 3/4 (gas) connector, making sure
that it is fastened tightly in place (see fig.A).
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.
The appliance is to be connected to the water mains
using new hose-sets and that old hose-sets should not
be reused.
Warning:
6
fig.A

EN
7
fig.B
Some models are fitted with an "Aquastop"
water supply hose (see fig.B) in which the
small filter is already housed in the
threaded end.
Anti-Flooding protection
The dishwasher is equipped with a system that stops the supply of water in the
event of a problem with the water supply hose, or leaks within the unit, in order to
prevent damage to your home. If for any reason the box containing the electrical
components happens to get damaged, turn off the power supply and remove the
plug for the appliance from the socket immediately. In order to guarantee that the
anti-flooding feature operates properly, the "A" box with water supply hose must
be attached to the water supply tap as shown in fig.B. No other type of connection
is acceptable.The water supply hose must not, under any circumstances, be cut,
as it contains electrical parts which are live. If the length of the hose is not adequate
to make a proper connection, the hose must be replaced with one which is long
enough. This hose is available upon request from specialised retailers and approved
service center.
Anti-Flooding protection
Under no circumstance should the water inlet hose be cut as it
contains live electrical parts.
WARNING:HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE!

EN
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. If necessary, fit a syphon
trap (U-bend) with a connecting piece for the electrical drain hose (fig.C). The free
end of the hose must be at a height between 40 and 100 cm and must not be
immersed in water.
fig.C
Attention:
The connecting piece for syphon trap (U-bend) must be
securely fastened to the wall to prevent the drain hose
from moving and allowing water to spill outside the drain.
Electrical 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).
Caution:
The dishwasher plug must be accessible even when the
appliance is installed as a built-in unit so that maintenance
can be done safely.

How to load the salt
Salt
The hardness of the water varies from place to
place. If hard water is used in the dishwasher,
deposits will form on the dishes and 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 container
J
When the low salt indicator “J” lights, you must
fill the salt.
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.
Important:
To prevent the formation of rust, load the salt just before
beginning a wash cycle.
Always use salt intended for use with dishwashers.
The salt container is located beneath the lower rack and should be filled as follows:
13

EN
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 intended to optimize and customize
the level of salt consumption so that it remains at a minimum.
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 an 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
table:
14
The default setting of the water softening system is -.
- If using multi-functional tablets fill the salt dispenser and set the adjuster to -; if
the hardness of the water is greater than 60ºfH, set it to +.

Arrangingcrockery,glasses,etc.inthedishwasher
Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove larger food particles to prevent
the filter from becoming clogged, which results in reduced performance.
If the pots and pans have baked-on food that is extremely hard to remove, we
recommend that they are soaked before washed. This will eliminate the need for
extra wash cycles.
Pull out the rack to load the dishwasher.
How to use the lower rack
We recommend that you place the most difficult to
clean items on the bottom rack: pots, pans, lids,
serving dishes and bowls, as shown in the figure
to the right.
It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on
the sides of the racks in order to avoid blocking the
rotation of the top spray arm. fig.D
Pots, serving bowls, etc. must always be placed
face down(see fig.D).
Deep pots should be slanted to allow the water
to flow out.
Some models: the lower rack features fold down
tine rows (see fig.E) so that larger or more pots
and pans can be loaded.
The silverware basket can be doubled (see fig.F)
so that only one section may be used when the
silverware load is light. This also makes space
for additional pots and pans and it can also be
placed in the upper rack.
Silverware should be placed in the silverware
basket with the handles at the bottom; if the rack
has side baskets, the spoons should be located
individually into the appropriate slots. Especially
long utensils should be placed in the horizontal
position at the front of the upper rack.

How to use the upper rack
The upper rack is designed to hold more delicate
and lighter dishware, such as glasses, cups and
saucers, plates, small bowls and shallow pans (as
long as they are not too dirty).
The dishes and cookware shall be arranged, so
that they do not get moved by the spray of water.
The upper rack can be adjusted for height by
using the knobs located on both sides of the rack
itself (see fig.G).
Adjust the upper basket to the higher level and you
have more space to accommodate those taller pans
and trays in the bottom basket.
Shelf
Lean tall glasses and those with long stems against
the shelf-not against other items to be washed.
Place glasses, cups and small bowls on the
additional cup rack. The additional cup rack can be
swivelled in or out as required(see fig.H).

Warning:
knives and other utensils with
sharp points must be loaded in
the basket with their points
down or placed in a horizontal
position.
Knife rack
The knife rack clips onto the side of the top basket,
giving you the freedom to wash your large sharp
knives separately and out of harm’s way (see fig.I).
