Installation
Cold water connection.
Connect the cold water supply
hose, inserting the small filter
supplied with the dishwasher and
making sure that it is fastened tightly
in place (see figure 2). If the water
hoses are new or have been out of
use for an extended period of time,
let the water run to make sure it is
clear and free of impurities before
making the connection. If this
precaution is not taken, the water
inlet could get blocked, causing
damage to your dishwasher.
Choose where you want to install
your dishwasher, you can place it
so that its sides or back panel are
side by side with furniture or up
against the wall. The dishwasher is
providedwith water supply and drain
hoses, which can be directed
towards the left or right to facilitate
appropriate installation.
Levelling.
Once the appliance is positioned,
adjust the feet by screwing them in
or out depending on how high you
want it and to level it so that it is
horizontal. Make sure that it is not
inclined more than 2 degrees. If the
appliance is level, it will help ensure
its correct operation.
Rememberyouwillbechargesfor
aservicecallisaproblemwithyour
appliance is caused by incorrect
installationormisuse.
Drain hose connection.
WARNING: Connect your
dishwasher drain hose to pipes
which connect to the foul drain
system and not to surface water
drains.
IMPORTANT: For the correct
operation of your dishwasher, it is
essentialto comply with the following
information:-
Standpipe:
Ensure that the hose is not pushed
too far down the standpipe.
If the end of your drain hose is fitted
with ‘retaining flaps’, ensure they are
insertedfully into the standpipe. This
will prevent the pipe from jumping
out during installation and use.
DONOTpositionthe standpipe near
an electrical outlet.
ENSURE that the drain hose is not
kinked and it is routed as shown in
the diagram.
The standpipe should have a bore
of at least 38mm (11/2”). It should
be installed as shown, have a trap
fitted and must discharge into the
same drain system as your
household sink.
It MUST NOT be connected to a
surface water drain.
Sink Waste System:
For under sink drainage:
Before connecting the drain hose,
remove any internal restrictions -
This will prevent a build up of debris
which could cause a blockage.
Remove any restrictions from the
waste spigot and ensure that the
sealing bung is removed. The hose
should be routed, such that it is
raised to a minimum height of
800mm (31/2”).
NOTE: Ensure the sink outlet
pipe has a minimum diamtere of
32mm.
1. Untie the end of the GREY
drainage hose from the rear of
the appliance.
2. Reposition the ‘Hooked End
Support’ as required along the
GREY drainage hose.
3. If fitting an under sink waste
disposal unit, cut out the
membrane, bung or blanking
plug.
4. Attach the GREY drainage
hose to the under sink waste
disposal unit securely, using the
clip and rubber tube supplied.
Ensure the drain hose is
securely attached, to prevent
it coming away while the
machine is in use and causing
a flood.

- For your dishwasher to operate
correctly it requires water pressures
in the range of 6-150 psi (100-
1000KPa).Most cold water supplies
willbeinthisrange.NOTE: low water
pressure will lead to excessively
long fill times or no fill.
- Ensure that the new hose supplied
is connected and the old hose is
disposed of safely.
- Ensure the fill hose is only fitted to
the cold water supply. DO NOT
overtighten the hose connector,
hand tight is sufficient.
- Ensure the fill hose is not kinked.

Programme Chart
Select the most suitable programme for the type of dishes and how dirty they are. To select the wash programme see the chart below:
To optimise wash performance and save on energy, try to use the dishwasher with a full wash load. If it takes some time to fill your
dishwasher, use the pre-wash to avoid caked on food and build up of bad odours.
‘Aquasensor’ wash cycles...
This means that your dishwasher is
equipped with a sensor which evaluates
how dirty your dishes are and allows
these wash cycles to adjust automatically
to provide you with a more efficient and
economic wash cycle.
Salt, rinse aid, the right amount of detergent and the correct wash cycle... This is the formula
to get the best results and to keep your dishwasher in shape.
Note: In the ‘Aquasensor’ wash cycles, the cycles could undergo some modifications due to
the intervention of the sensor which evaluates how dirty the dishes are and optimises the
cycle in accordance.

DISHWASHER
Before Using your Dishwasher
Adjusting the water softener.
Water hardness varies according
to where you live. If the water in your
home is hard, without water soften-
ing, incrustations would form on your
dishes. Your dishwasher is fitted
with a water softener which uses
special salt to get rid of limescale in
the water.
Your dishwasher can adjust its salt
consumption according to the hard-
ness of the water in your home. This
way, you can optimise and custom-
ise your dishwasher's salt con-
sumption.
To adjust salt consumption, do as
follows:
1. Unscrew the salt container cap
2. There is an arrow on the neck
of the container (see figure): if
necessary, turn the arrow anti-
clockwise from the "-" setting
to the "+" setting.
Select the arrow position
depending on the water
hardness, referring to the table.
To prevent rust from forming,
load the salt just before
beginning a wash cycle.

You don't know how hard the
water in your home is? Ask
the company that supplies
water in your area.
Filling the salt container.
Always use salt which is intended
for dishwasher use.
The salt container is situated
underneath the lower basket, fill it
up as follows:
1.Pull out the lower basket
completely, unscrew and
remove the container cap
2. If it is the first time you add the
salt, first fill the container up with
water (you won't have to do this
again next time)
3. Put the dishwasher funnel on the
hole and pour in approximately
two kilos of salt. It is normal that
some water comes out of the
container.
4. Screw the cap back in place
carefully.
When to add salt:
The salt container should be filled
up when the low salt indicator light
“T” flashes on the control panel.
When you have loaded salt for the
first time, it is normal for the low salt
indicator light to stay on for at least 5
consecutive cycles.
Salt
IMPORTANT:
Onlyuse recommended dishwasher
salt. DO NOT use everyday table
salt, cooking salt, as they containe
insoluable substances which could
harm the dishwasher.
WARNING:
DO NOT pour detergent into the
special salt container.
This will destroy the water softener.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
3 in 1 dishwasher tablets are now available. These combine detergent, salt
and rinse aid ALL IN ONE. If the water in your area is hard or very hard, we
still recommend you add salt to the salt container to prevent white streaks
on your dishes and in the dishwashers interior.
Add rinse aid to the dispenser, only if you are dissatisfied with the results.
In all cases, please read the manufacturers instructions on the packet.
If you are only using the 3 in 1 products, after a number of cycles it is normal
for the salt and rinse aid indicator lights to flash permanently.

panel flashes.
Adding rinse aid.
To open the dispenser, turn cap C
anticlockwise. Take care when you
pour in the rinse aid to avoid it

Loading your Dishwasher
What goes into the lower
basket?
We recommend you place the most
difficult dishes to wash into the lower
basket: saucepans, lids, soup
dishes and plates (a load example
is shown in the photo).
• Serving dishes and large lids:
place them on the sides of the
basket.
• Saucepans, salad bowls: must
always be placed upside down
• Very deep dishes: place them
obliquely, thus allowing water to
run down them and cleaning
them better
• Glasses and cups: position
them as shown in load example
photo.
The cutlery baskets can be split up
by pulling out the handle and
removing the metal clip that keeps
the two parts joined together.
When you only have a little cutlery
to wash you can use just half the
basket, save space for other
crockery or place the other half in
the upper basket instead (see
figures A and B).
This basket is equipped with two
removable grids. Cutlery and sharp
utensils should always be inserted
in random order with the blades
pointing downwards (take care with
knife blades). Position them so that
they don’t touch.
In this specific model, the cutlery
basket is fitted with two detachable
side compartments, as shown in
figure A1, which can be hooked on
either the upper or lower basket as
required.
There are two handles on the sides of
the upper basket, use these to adjust
its height (see fig.C).
A1
A
What goes into the upper
basket?
Placedelicate and lightweight dishes
in the upper basket: glasses, tea
cups and coffee cups, saucers and
plates - shallow salad bowls, slightly
dirty frying pans and shallow pans.
Position lightweight dishes in such a
way as to avoid their being moved
by the spray of water.
The dishwasher can also be
equipped with one or two tip up
compartments onto which you can
place mugs and cups, as well as
long sharp knives and serving
cutlery.
After loading the dishes, remember
to check that the spray arms can
turn freely without hitting against any
dishes.
First of all.
Before placing dishes in the
baskets, remove all course food
remains. This avoids blocking the
filter, which would reduce the
efficiency of the wash.
If saucepans and frying pans are
very dirty, allow them to soak before
being washed.
To make it easier to load your
dishes, pull the baskets out.
Multisystem baskets
The dishwasher is fitted with upper,
lower and cutlery baskets. They
provide greater flexibility for loading
dishes, making them more suitable
for your specific needs.
The basket handles can be
removed for cleaning. Pull out the
two fastening plugs, remove the
handles and rinse under running
water. Replace the handles fixing
them in place with the two fastening
plugs.
Load examples upperbasket
lower basket
How to adjust the upper
basket.
The upper basket can be set in high
or low position to enable you to
organise your dishes effortlessly.
What can I Wash Items not suitable for the dishwasher:
•Cutlery and tableware made from wood or part wood - They may become faded and unsightly in appearance.
•Avoid washing horn handled and bronze cutlery in the machine.
•Delicate/decorative glassware and vases, special antique or irreplaceable china - the decorative patterns
printed on these items will not be dishwasher proof.
•Plastic objects that are not resistant to hot water.
•Copper and Pewter utensils. Aluminium and Sliver objects.
•Some types of glass can become opaque in appearance after they have been washed too many times in a
dishwasher.
•Highly absorbent materials such as sponges and towels should never be placed in a dishwasher.
• If in any doubt, check with the manufacturer on items suitability for dishwasher’s.
WARNING:Dishesorcutlerysoiled withtobaccoash,wax,lubricatinggreaseorpaintshould notbeputinthe dishwasher.
Our recommendation: In future, only purchase table or kitchenware that has been confirmed - dishwasher proof.
