Positioning and levelling
1. Remove the appliance from all packaging and check
that it has not been damaged during transportation.
If it has been damaged, contact the retailer and do not
proceed any further with the installation process.
2. Check the dishwasher by placing it so that its sides or
back panel are in contact with the adjacent cabinets or
even with the wall. This appliance can also be recessed
under a single worktop*(
see the Assembly instruction
sheet
).
3. Position the dishwasher on a level and sturdy floor. If the
floor is uneven, the front feet of the appliance may be
adjusted until it reaches a horizontal position (the angle of
inclination must not exceed 2 degrees). If the appliance is
levelled correctly, it will be more stable and much less likely
to move or cause vibrations and noise while it is operating.
4*. Adjust the height of the rear foot from the front of the
appliance* on the central lower part of the dishwasher,
turning a hexagonal spanner (red color) with an opening
of 8 mm in a clockwise direction to increase the height or
in an anticlockwise direction to decrease the height.
Anti-condensation strip*
After installing the dishwasher, open the door and stick
the adhesive transparent strip under the wooden shelf in
order to protect it from any condensation that may form.
Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for future
reference. If the appliance is sold, given away or moved,
please ensure the manual is kept with the machine, so that
thenewownermaybenefitfromtheadvicecontainedwithin
it.
Please read this instruction manual carefully: it contains
important information regarding the safe installation, use
and maintenance of the appliance.
If the appliance must be moved at any time, keep it in
an upright position; if absolutely necessary, it may be tilted
onto its back.
This appliance is intended to be used in household
and similar applications such as:
- staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working
environments;
- farm houses;
- by clients in hotels, motels and other residential type
environments;
- bed and breakfast type environments.
Advice regarding the first wash cycle
After the appliance has been installed, immediately before
running the first wash cycle, completely fill the salt
dispenser with water and add only then approximately 1 kg
of salt ( see chapter entitled Rinse aid and refined salt ). The
water may overflow: this is normal and is not a cause for
concern. Select the water hardness value (
see chapter
entitled Rinse aid and refined salt ). - After the salt has
been poured into the machine, the LOW SALT indicator
light*switches off.
If the salt container is not filled, the water softener and
the heating element may be damaged as a result.
*Only available in selected models.

Before inserting the plug into the electrical socket, make
sure that:
• the socket is earthed and complies with current
regulations;
• the socket can withstand the maximum load of the
appliance, which is indicated on the data plate located
on the inside of the door ( see Description of the
appliance
);
• the power supply voltage falls within the values
indicated on the data plate on the inside of the door;
• the socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance.
If this is not the case, ask an authorised technician to
replace the plug (see After Sales Service) ; do not use
extension cables or multiple sockets.
Once the appliance has been installed, the power
supply cable and the electrical socket should be easily
accessible.
The cable should not be bent or compressed.
If the power supply cable is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer or its Technical Assistance
Service in order to prevent all potential hazards. (See After
Sales Service)

EN Connecting the water supplies
Connection to the water and electricity supplies should
only be performed by a qualified technician.
The dishwasher should not stand on top of the water
hoses or the electricity supply cable.
Connecting the water inlet hose
The water inlet and outlet hoses and the electricity supply
cable may be positioned towards the right or the left in
order to achieve the best possible installation.
• To a suitable cold water connection point: before
attaching the hose, run the water until it is perfectly
clear so that any impurities that may be present in the
water do not clog the appliance; after performing this
operation, screw the inlet hose tightly onto a tap with a
¾ gas threaded connection.
• To a suitable hot water connection point: your
dishwasher may be provided with hot water from the
mains supply (if you have a central heating system with
radiators)provided that itdoesnot exceed atemperature
of 60°C.
Screw the hose to the tap as described for connection
to a cold water supply.
If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialist
store or an authorised technician (
see After Sales Service ).
The water pressure must be within the values indicated
in the Technical data table (
see Installation ).
The hose should not be bent or compressed.
The appliance must be connected to the water supply
network using new hoses.
Do not use old hoses.
Ensure that the new hose supplied is connected and the
old hose is disposed of safely.
DO NOT overtighten the hose connector, hand tight is
sufficient.
Ensure the fill hose is not kinked.
Tap connections*: A range of adaptors are available
to suit your tap.
DO NOT connect the dishwasher to a single outlet
instantaneous water heater or an electric heater.
Sink Waste System
Connect the outlet hose (without bending it) to a drain duct
with a minimum diameter of 32 mm.
The outlet hose must be at a height ranging from 40 to 80
cm (from 15’’ to 31’’) from the floor / surface where the
dishwasher rests (A).
• before connecting the drain hose, remove any internal
restrictions; this will prevent a build up of debris which
could cause a blockage
• removeanyrestrictions from the waste spigot and ensure
that the sealing bung is removed (B).
It MUST NOT be connected to a surface water drain.
• Untie the end of the GREY drainage hose from the rear of
the appliance.
• If fitting an under sink
waste disposal unit, cut out
the membrane, bung or
blanking plug.
Ensure the drain hose is securely attached, to
prevent it coming away while the machine is in use and
causing a flood.
Fit hose to waste securely using a “Jubilee” type
clip.
*Only available in selected models.

5
EN
Anti-flooding protection*
To ensure floods do not occur, the dishwasher:
- is provided with a special system which blocks the water
supply in the event of anomalies or leaks from inside the
appliance.
Some models are also equipped with the supplementary
safety device
New Acqua Stop *, which guarantees anti-
flooding protection even in the event of a supply hose
rupture.
WARNING: HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE!
Under no circumstance should the water inlet hose be cut
as it contains live electrical parts.
The Company shall not be held responsible for any
incidents that occur if these regulations are not observed.
Transportation
Unloadallcrockery from the dishwasher and secure moving
parts.
All water remaining inside the appliance should be
drained as follows:
make sure that the water tap is open and select the ECO
cycle. The cycle will begin. After 5 minutes, end the cycle
by pressing the ON/OFF button until you hear a beep and
the indicator lights switch off. Wait for approximately 5
minutes before uninstalling the appliance. Shut off the tap
and disconnect the inlet and drain hose.
The appliance should only be moved in an upright position,
in order to prevent any water remaining inside the
appliance from damaging dishwasher components.
Leaving the machine unused for extended periods/
Freezing protection
If the appliance is situated in a location which is at risk of
freezing, or if you intend to be away for extended periods of
time (e.g. holiday home), empty the appliance completely.
- Carry out the process used to drain all water remaining
inside the appliance (
see Transportation )
- Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply and
shut off the water tap.
- Leave the appliance door ajar.
- When you return, run a cycle while the dishwasher is
empty.
ECODESIGN REGULATION
ECO wash cycle is the standard cycle to which the energy label data refers; this cycle can be used to wash crockery with
a normal soil level and is the most efficient in terms of energy and water consumption for this type of crockery. To reduce
consumption even further, only run the dishwasher when it is full.
Standby consumption: Left-on mode consumption: 4,5 W – Off mode consumption: 1,3 W

Measuring out the detergent
A good wash result also depends on the correct amount of
detergent being used; exceeding the stated amount does
not result in a more effective wash and increases
environmental pollution.
Only use detergent which has been specifically designed
for dishwashers.
DO NOT USE washing up liquid.
Using excessive detergent may result in foam residue
remaining in the machine after the cycle has ended.
Toachieve the best results from eachwashingand drying
cycle, powder detergent, rinse aid liquid and salt should be
used.

Washcycles
The number and type of wash cycles and options may vary depending on the dishwasher model.
If the crockery is only lightly soiled or if it has been rinsed with water before being placed in the dishwasher, reduce
the amount of detergent used accordingly.
Notes: To make it easier to measure out the detergent, it is worth remembering that:
1 tablespoon = 15 gr. of powder = approximately 15 ml of liquid - 1 teaspoon = 5 gr. of powder = approximately 5 ml of liquid.
Optimum performance levels when using the "Daily wash" and "Speed" cycles can be achieved by observing the maximum amounts
of crockery specified.
*TheEco wash cycle adheres to the regulation EN-50242. Although it has a longerduration thanother washcycles ituses lessenergy
andis les harmful to the environment.

Rinseaid andrefined salt
Only use products which have been specifically
designed for dishwashers.
Do not use table salt or industrial salt, or washing
up liquid.
Follow the instructions given on the packaging.
If using a multi-functional product it is not necessary to add
rinseaid;however,werecommendthat you add salt, especially
if you live in an area where the water is hard or very hard.
Followthe instructions givenon the packaging.
If you do not add salt or rinse aid, the LOW
SALT*and LOW RINSE AID*indicator lights remain
lit.
Measuring out the rinse aid
Rinse aid makes it easier for the crockery to dry, as water runs
offsurfaces morereadily and therefore does not leave streaksor
marks.
The rinse aid dispenser should be filled:
•When the LOWRINSE AID*indicator light on the control
panelis illuminated; 1. Open the dispenser by turning
the lid (G) in an anticlockwise
direction.
2.Pourinthe rinse aid,makingsure
it does not overflow from the
dispenser. If this happens, clean
the spill immediately with a dry
cloth.
3. Screw the lid back on.
NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the appliance tub.
Adjusting the amount of rinse aid
If you are not completely satisfied with the drying results, you
may adjust the quantity of rinse aid used. Use a screwdriver to
turnthe dosageadjuster (F)to oneof the6 pre-set positions (the
default position is set to 4):
• If there are streaks on the crockery, set the adjustment device
to a lower number (1-3).
•Ifdrops ofwater remain onthe crockery orif there arelimescale
markspresent afterthe cycle has finished, set the adjusterto a
higher number (4-6).
Setting the water hardness
Every dishwasher is equipped with a water softener which, by
usingrefined saltdesigned especially for this type of appliance,
supplieswater without limescalewhich is then used to wash the
crockery.
Thisdishwasher offers asetting which helps to reduce pollution
andoptimiseswashingperformanceinaccordancewith the water
hardness level in your area. This information can be obtained
fromthe organisationwhich suppliesyour householdwith water.
- Switch on the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.
-Press the P button and hold for approximately 10 seconds; two
shortbeepswillsound,the text "WATERHARDNESS"willappear
onthe displayand the set hardness number will alsoflash slowly
on the display (the water softening system is set by default to
number3).
- Press the DELAYED START button (of 1 to 5) or the HALF
LOAD button (of 5 to 1) repeatedly until the desired hardness
levelhas been reached; press theP buttonto confirm. (1-2-3-4-

see Water hardness table ), up to a maximum of 5*levels.
- To exit the function, wait approximately few seconds or press
another option*button,or switch off the machineusing the ON/
OFF button.
Even if using multi-functional tablets, the salt dispenser should
stillbe filled.

Thesalt dispenser is located inthe lower part of thedishwasher
(
see Description )and should be filled:
• Whenthe greenfloat*cannot beseen bysimply looking at the
cap of the salt dispenser.
• When the LOW SALT*indicator light on the control panel is
illuminated; 1. Remove the lower rack and unscrew the
containercap (anticlockwise).
2.The firsttime you do this: fillthe watertank
right up to its edge.
3.Position the funnel*(
seefigure) andfill the
saltcontainerright uptoits edge(thisshould holdapproximately
1 kg); it is not unusual for a little water to leak out.
4. Remove the funnel* and wipe any salt residue away from the
opening;rinse the capunder running waterand thenscrew it on,
thehead facing downwardsso as tolet the water flow out of the
fourcracks whichare arrangedin astar shape on the lower part
ofthe cap. (the container cap with the green float*)
It is advisable to perform this procedure every time you add
salt to the container.
Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly, so that no detergent
can get into the container during the wash cycle (this could
damage the water softener beyond repair).
When necessary, measure out the salt before a wash cycle
so that any saline solution which has leaked out of the salt
dispenser is removed.

Careandmaintenance
Shutting off the water and electricity
supplies
• Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle to avoid
leaks.
• Alwaysunplugtheappliancewhencleaningitandwhen
performing maintenance work.
Cleaning the dishwasher
• The external surfaces of the machine and the control
panel may be cleaned using a non-abrasive cloth which
has been dampened with water. Do not use solvents or
abrasive products.
• Any marks on the inside of the appliance may be
removed using a cloth dampened with water and a little
vinegar.
Preventing unpleasant odours
• Always keep the door of the appliance ajar in order to
avoid moisture from forming and being trapped inside
the machine.
• Clean the seals around the door and detergent
dispensers regularly using a damp sponge. This will
avoid food becoming trapped in the seals, which is the
main cause behind the formation of unpleasant odours.
Cleaning the sprayer arms
Foodresiduemay become encrusted onto the sprayer arms
and block the holes used to spray the water. It is therefore
recommended that the arms are checked from time to time
and cleaned with a small non-metallic brush.
The two sprayer arms may both be removed.
To remove the upper sprayer arm,
rotate the locking ring in an anti-
clockwise direction.
The upper sprayer arm should be
replaced with the holes facing
upwards.
The lower sprayer arm can be
removed by pressing on the side
tabs and pulling it upwards.
Cleaning the water inlet filter*
If the water hoses are new or have not been used for an
extended period of time, let the water run to make sure it is
clearandfree of impurities before performing the necessary
connections. If this precaution is not taken, the water inlet
could become blocked and damage the dishwasher.
Clean the water inlet filter at the tap outlet regularly.
- Turn off the water tap.
- Unscrew the end of the water inlet hose, remove the filter
and clean it carefully under running water.
- Replace the filter and screw the water hose back into
position.
Cleaning the filters
The filter assembly consists of three filters which remove
food residues from the washing water and then recirculate
the water. They should be cleaned if you wish to achieve
the best results in every wash.
Clean the filters regularly.
The dishwasher should not be used without filters, or if
the filter is loose.
• After several washes, check the filter assembly and if
necessary clean it thoroughly under running water, using
a non-metallic brush and following the instructions below:
1.1.
1.1.
1. Turn the cylindrical filter C in an anti-clockwise direction
and pull it out (fig. 1).
2.2.
2.2.
2. Remove the cup filter B by exerting a slight pressure on
the side flaps (fig. 2).
3.3.
3.3.
3. Slide out the stainless steel plate filter A (fig. 3).
4. Inspect the trap and remove any food residue. NEVER
REMOVE the wash cycle pump (black detail)
(fig. 4) .
After cleaning the filters, replace the filter assembly and fix
it in position correctly; this is essential for maintaining the
efficient operation of the dishwasher.

Saving energy and respecting the
environment
Saving water and energy
• Only start a wash cycle when the dishwasher is full. While
waiting for the dishwasher to be filled, prevent unpleasant
odours with the Soak cycle (
see Wash Cycles ).
• Selecta washcycle that is suited to the typeof crockeryand
to the soil level of the crockery using the
Wash cycle table :
- for dishes with a normal soil level, use the Eco wash cycle,
whichguarantees low energy and waterconsumption levels.
-ifthe loadissmaller than usualactivate the Halfload*option
(
see Start-up and use ).
• If your electricity supply contract gives details of electricity
savingtime bands, runwash cyclesduring theperiods when
alower tariffis applied.The Delayedstart*button (

upand use
)helpsyou organise thewash cycles accordingly.
Phosphate-free and chlorine-free detergents
containing enzymes
• Westrongly recommend that you use detergents thatdo not
containphosphatesorchlorine,astheseproducts are harmful
tothe environment.
• Enzymes provide a particularly effective action at
temperatures around 50°C, and as a result detergents
containing enzymes can be used in conjunction with low-
temperaturewashcycles in orderto achieve thesameresults
as a normal 65°C wash cycle.
• To avoid wasting detergent, use the product in appropriate
quantities based on the manufacturer’s recommendations,
the hardness of the water and the soil level and quantity of
the crockery. Even if they are biodegradable, detergents
containsubstances that may alter the balance of nature.
