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 ex-
tended period oftime, let the water run for a while untilthe 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.
Positioning the appliance
Positioning the appliance in the desired location. The appliance is equipped with water supply and drain
hoses that can be positioned to the right or the left of the appliance to facilitate proper installation.
fig.A
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 housing containing the electrical components is badly 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 from specialised retailers and approved service centres.
fig.B
Levelling the appliance
Once the appliance is positioned, adjust the feet (screwing them in or out) to level the appliance. If the
appliance is level, it will help to ensure proper performance.

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) as in 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 siphon trap (U-bend) must be fastened to the wall to pre-
vent the drain hose from moving and allowing water to spill.
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).
If the plug is not appropriate for the socket, replace the whole cable, rather than using plug adaptors or
the like, as they could cause overheating and burns.
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.

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.

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.

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. D).
Large pots should be placed at an angle to allow the water
to flow out.

Normal daily load
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 separated (see Fig. E).

How to keep your dishwasher in shape
After every wash
After every wash, set the ON-OFF button “A” to off and leave the door slightly ajar so that moisture and
odours are not trapped inside.
Remove the plug
Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always switch of the electricity supply and remove the plug
from the socket.
No solvents or Abrasive Cleaning Products
To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning
products. 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.
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.
Moving the appliance
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.

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.
Filters
The filters "7" and "8" 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 removing the coarse micro-filter "7", the filter unit "8"
can be removed. Remove any particles of food and rinse
the filters under running water.
Insert the filter unit "8" and tighten the coarse micro-filter.
Dishwasher salt
Check the LOW SALT indicator "C". Top up with salt, if required.
