Installation
fig.A
Cold water connection
Connect the water supply hose to a threaded 3/4 inch (ca. 19mm)
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 for a while until 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.
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
unplug the appliance immediately. In order to guarantee that the anti-flooding feature operates properly,
box "A" with the water supply hose must be attached to the water supply tap as shown in Fig. B. 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 ser-
vice centres.
fig.B
Warning
The appliance is to be connected to the
mains water using new hose sets. Old
hose sets should not be reused.

Electrical connection
After making sure that the voltage and frequency values for your domestic electricity supply correspond
to those on the rating plate (located on the inner door of the appliance), insert the plug into an electrical
socket which is properly earthed (the earthing of the appliance is a legal safety requirement).
Caution:
The dishwasher's mains plug must be accessible even when the
appliance is installed as a built-in unit so thatmaintenance can be
carried out safely.
Drain hose connection
Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe with a minimum diameter of 4cm, making sure to avoid kinking or
pinching. If necessary, fit a syphon trap (U-bend) with a connecting piece for the 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.
Attention:
The syphon trap (U-bend) must be securely fastened to the wall to
prevent the drain hose from moving and thus causingwater to be
spilt.

Salt
The hardness of water varies from place to place. If hard water is used in the appliance, 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.
How to fill the salt container
Filling the container with salt
Always use salt intended for use with dishwashers.
The salt container is located beneath the lower rack and should be filled as follows:
Adjusting salt consumption
You can adjust the amount of salt used to suit the hardness of the water in your area. This is intended to
optimize the level of salt consumption so that it remains at a minimum.
To adjust salt consumption, proceed as follows:
It is recommended that adjustments be made in accordance with the following table:
When the low Salt indicator "1" lights, you must add 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.
1
Important
To prevent the formation of rust, fill with salt just before beginning a wash cycle.
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.

Not suitable for the dishwasher
What you should not put into the dishwasher
Cutlery and tableware manufactured in whole or part from wood. These will become faded and unsightly
in appearance. Furthermore, the adhesives that are used are not suitable for the temperature inside the
dishwasher.
Delicate decorative glassware and vases, special antique or irreplaceable china. The decorative pat-
terns 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.
Items with 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 dishwasher.
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 the future, only purchase table or kitchenware that is dishwasher-proof.
Important
Items that have been soiled by tobacco ash, wax, lubricating grease
or paint, should not be put in the dishwasher.
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.
Use glassware or porcelain dishes that have been marked ‘dishwasher-proof’ by the manufacturer.
Use a mild detergent that is described as ‘kind to dishes’. If necessary, seek further information from
detergent manufacturers.
Select a programme with a low temperature and as short a duration as possible.
To prevent damage, take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher as soon as possible after the
programme has ended.
Suggested remedy
en

11
Arranging crockery, glasses, etc. in the dishwasher
Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove larger food particles to prevent the filter from be-
coming 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 being washed. This will eliminate the need for extra wash cycles.
Pull out the rack to load the appliance.
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.
Pots, serving bowls, etc, must always be placed face down
(see Fig. C).
fig.D
Normal daily load
fig.E
Large pots should be placed at an angle to allow the water
to flow out.
Warning
Knives and other utensils with sharp points must be loaded in the basket with their points
down or placed in a horizontal position.
The cutlery basket cannot be doubled (see Fig. E).
en

12
The upper rack is designed to hold more delicate and lighter
crockery, such as glasses, cups and saucers, plates, small
bowls and shallow pans (as long as they are not too dirty).
How to use the upper rack
fig.G
fig.F
Shelf
Lean tall glasses and those with long stems against the shelf
and 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. G).
Adjust the upper basket to the higher level and you have more
space to accommodate larger pans and trays in the bottom
basket.
Position items 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. F).
Knife rack
The knife rack clips onto the side of the top basket, giving you
the freedom to wash large sharp knives separately and out of
harm’s way (see Fig. H).

Washing dishes
Programme selection
The most appropriate programme can be identified by comparing the type of crockery, cutlery, etc., and
the amount and condition of food residue, with the details contained in the Wash Cycle Table. The
corresponding programme sequence, duration and consumption details are shown in the right half of the
overview. For example:
Use the« normal» programme for dishes and utensils which have plenty of food residue stuck on.
Make savings
If only a small number of dishes have been loaded into the dishwasher, selecting a programme that
operates at the next lowest temperature will usually be sufficient.
Programme data
The stated programme data are based on standard operating conditions. The values can vary consider-
ably according to:
Amount of dishes.
Temperature of mains water supply.
Pressure of mains water supply.
Ambient temperature.
Fluctuations in mains voltage.
Machine-related factors (e.g. temperature, water volume).
Switching the dishwasher ON
Close the door after loading the appliance.
Set On-Off button "B" to On. The indicator light "A" comes on.
Rotate the dial to select the required programme. The time-
remaining indicator displays the time required for the
programme you have selected. After 3 seconds the appliance
emits a short warning signal, and starts the programme. The
indicator light "A" starts to blink.
Warning
When the dishwasher is on, if the programme to which the dial is pointing cannot be
carried out, you must rotate the dial to another programme and then back to the programme
you require.

How to keep your dishwasher in shape
After every wash
After every wash leave the door slightly ajar so that moisture and odours are not trapped inside.
Remove the plug
Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always switch off the machine and remove the plug from
the socket.
No solvents or abrasive aleaning products
To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning
products. 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 a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.
Moving the appliance
If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in a vertical position. If absolutely necessary, it can be
positioned on its back.
Seals
One of the factors that cause odours 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
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 odours from forming within the appliance.

Care and maintenance
Dishwasher salt
Check the LOW SALT indicator "G". Top upwith saltif required.
Regular inspection and maintenance of your appliance helps to prevent problems from occurring. This
saves time and aggravation. You should therefore carefully inspect the inside of your dishwasher from
time to time.
Overall condition of appliance
Check that no grease or scale has accumulated on the inside of the dishwasher.
If you discover any deposits:
Clean the interior of the dishwasher thoroughly with a dishwasher detergent solution.
Rinse-aid
Check the LOW RINSE AID indicator "H", on the front panel.
Top up with rinse-aid, if required.
Filters
The filters"8" and"9" prevent larger particles of food in the
water from reaching the pump. These particles can occasion-
ally block the filters.
When the appliance has finished washing, check the filters
for particles of food and, if required, clean.
After undoing the coarse micro-filter "8", the filter unit "9"
can be removed. Remove any particles of food and rinse
the filters under running water.
Insert the filter unit "9" and tighten the coarse micro-filter.
