2. Installation and hook-up
Remove the polystyrene basket retainers.
Position the appliance in the desired place of installation. The back or
sides of the dishwasher may be placed up against walls or other
furniture units. If the dishwasher is installed near a heat source, fit the
special insulating panel to prevent overheating and malfunction of the
appliance. To ensure stability, install integrated or built-under
dishwashers only under continuous worktops, and screw them to the
adjacent units. To facilitate the installation procedure, the intake and
drain hoses can be positioned in any direction; make sure that the hoses
are not kinked, crushed or pulled too tightly. Make sure to tighten the
locking ring-nut once the pipes have been placed in the direction
required. A hole at least 8 cm in diameter is required to allow the power
supply cable and pipes to pass.
Level the appliance on the floor using its adjustable feet. This operation
is essential for ensuring correct operation of the dishwasher.
Building-in a dishwasher underneath a ceramic cooktop is absolutely
forbidden.
Moreover, dishwashers may not be installed directly touching
appliances which are not conventional built-in kitchen appliances (e.g.
fireplaces, stoves, etc.).
When installing the dishwasher in a compartment next to one or more
other appliances, it is essential to comply with all the recommendations
provided by the appliance’s manufacturer (minimum distances, installation
procedures, etc.).
This model is equipped with only one adjustable foot at the rear, which
can be adjusted by turning the screw on the lower front part of the
appliance. (Use 8mm socket on electric screwdriver)
2.1 Water supply connection
Preventing the risk of clogging or damage: if the water pipe is new or
has not been used for a long time, before connecting to the water supply
check that the water is clear and free of impurities, to prevent damage to
the appliance.
The dishwasher must always be connected to the water system
with new hoses; old or used hoses must never be reused.

User instructions

CONNECTING TO THE WATER SUPPLY
Connect the intake hose to a cold water supply with ¾”
gas thread, inserting the filter Asupplied with the
dishwasher. Take care to screw the hose firmly into
place with your hands and then complete by
tightening about ¼of a turn with pliers.
This dishwasher is equipped with the ACQUASTOP
device, the filters is already fitted inside the threaded
ring.
The dishwasher can also be connected to a hot water supply not
exceeding 60°C. Supplying the appliance with hot water cuts down the
washing time by approximately 20 minutes, but slightly reduces its
effectiveness. Make the connection to the domestic hot water supply using
the same procedure described for connecting to the cold water supply.
DRAIN CONNECTION
Insert the dishwasher’s drain hose
into a drain pipe having a diameter
of at least 4 cm, or alternatively,
place it inside the kitchen sink
using the plastic support provided,
taking care not to crush or
excessively bend the hose. It is
important to prevent the hose from
coming loose and falling. For this
purpose, the plastic support is
equipped with a hole for tying it to
the wall or water tap.
The free end should be positioned at a height of between 30 and 100
cm,and should never be submerged in water. If a horizontal drain
extension hose is used (for a maximum of 3 m) the drain hose can be
placed at a maximum height of 85 cm from the ground.

2.2 Electrical connection and precautions
CHECK THAT THE VOLTAGE AND THE FREQUENCY OF THE MAINS MATCH
THE RATINGS ON THE NAME PLATE OF THE APPLIANCE POSITIONED ON
THE INNER EDGE OF THE DOOR.
THE PLUG ON THE SUPPLY CORD AND THE CORRESPONDING SOCKET
OUTLET MUST BE OF THE SAME TYPE AND MEET THE REGULATIONS IN
FORCE.
THE PLUG MUST BE ACCESSIBLE AFTER INSTALLATION.
NEVER DISCONNECT THE PLUG BY PULLING ON THE POWER SUPPLY
LEAD.
IN THE EVENT OF DAMAGE TO THE SUPPLY CORD, HAVE IT REPLACED
BY THE MANUFACTURER OR AN AUTHORIZED TECHNICAL SERVICE
CENTRE.
DO NOT USE ADAPTORS OR SHUNT CONNECTIONS IN ORDER TO AVOID
THE POSSIBILITY OF OVERHEATING OR BURNING.
In the event of damage to the supply cord, have it replaced by the
manufacturer or an Authorized Technical Service Centre in order to
avoid any risk.

3.2 Washing programs
Before starting a washing program make sure that:
•The water supply tap is open.
•The correct amount of detergent has been added to the
dispenser.
•The baskets have been correctly loaded.
•The spray arms are able to rotate freely and without
obstruction.
•The dishwasher door is securely closed.
SPEED WASH OPTION
(available in all programs except the soak program)
Select this option together with any washing program (except the soak
program) to SHORTEN the cycle. To activate this option, press button
(light 6comes on) after selecting the program required.
The option is automatically deactivated at the end of the program.
HYGIENE OPTION
(available in all programs except the soak program)
This function performs an extra antibacterial rinse at the end of the
washing cycle, assuring a further reduction in any bacteria present. In
order to ensure that the antibacterial rinse is effective, the temperature
must not fall while it is in progress; if this should occur (e.g. due to a
power blackout or because the door is opened), the indicator light
flashes until the dishwasher is switched off or a new program is selected,
to warn that the antibacterial rinse has not been fully effective. Press the
button to enable/disable the option; the light illuminates to indicate
that the function is active.
SPREAD HALF LOAD
(available in all programs except the soak program)
When there are not many dishes to be washed, the “spread half load”
option, controlled by button is useful; it saves water and electricity
and reduces the program’s duration. Place dishes in both baskets then
load the detergent dispenser with less than the normal amount for a full
load.

User instructions

EXTRA OPTIONS - “3/1” BUTTON
(available in all programs except the soak program)
Press buttons + (SPEED PROGRAMS button + HYGIENE option
button) simultaneously to activate the "3/1" option; the respective light
comes on to confirm the selection. The option is designed for use of
detergents which are complete with rinse aid, known on the market as "3
in 1", "triple action", etc. With this option activated, rinse aid will not be
used as the “3 in 1” detergents already contain rinse aid.
N.B.: even with the "3/1" option selected, rinse aid light will still stay on if
the containers is empty.
IMPORTANT: the option continues to be active until it is deactivated by
pressing buttons + simultaneously; the light will then go out.
3/1 products are not suitable for use with excessively hard water.
Therefore, if the water hardness is set higher than H3, the 3/1 OPTION
light (11) flashes to indicate a setting error. This does not prevent the
use of the option, but the washing results might not be of the best.
DELAYED START
(available in all programs except the soak program)
The start of the washing program can be delayed to program the
dishwasher to operate at the preferred time of day (e.g. overnight). Press
the PROGRAM DELAY button to activate the option and display (13)
a 1 hour delay. Keep pressing to select the delay required, which may be
up to 9, 12 or 24 hours depending on the model.
When the door is closed, the appliance will prewash the dishes, after
which the "program delay" set will come into effect.

TO SAVE ON ENERGY! …AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT
•Always try to run the dishwasher fully loaded.
•Do not rinse the dishes in running water.
•Use the washing program that is most appropriate for each type of
load.
•If available, connect the dishwasher to a hot water supply up to 60°C.
TO CUT DOWN ON DETERGENT CONSUMPTION! …AND PROTECT
THE ENVIRONMENT
The phosphates contained in dishwasher detergents are harmful to the
environment. To avoid using excessive amounts of detergent and to save
on electricity, observe the following:
•separate the more delicate items from dishes that are more resistant
to aggressive detergents and high temperatures;
•do not pour the detergent directly on the dishes.
If the door has to be opened while washing is in progress, the program
will be interrupted. The relative light will keep flashing and a beeper will
signal that the cycle has not been completed. You must wait about 1
minute before closing the door to restart the program. When the door is
closed the program will continue from where it was interrupted. This
operation should only be carried out if strictly necessary, because it
might cause problems in execution of the program.
END OF CYCLE
At the end of the washing cycle the dishwasher
gives a short acustic signal and the program
indicators nr 4and 5start blinking (the word
"end" is displayed on the window).
To switch off the dishwasher, open the door and press the ON/OFF
button (1).
REMOVING THE DISHES
At the end of the washing program, wait at least 20 minutes before
removing the dishes, to allow them to cool down. To prevent any water
droplets on the upper basket from falling on the dishes in the lower
basket, it is advisable to unload the lower basket first, and then the
upper basket.

4. Operating instructions
Once the dishwasher has been correctly installed, prepare for use as
follows:
•Add the rinse aid and detergent.
4.1 Using the rinse aid and detergent dispensers
The detergent and rinse aid
dispensers are situated on the inner
part of the door: the detergent
dispenser is on the left, and the
rinse aid dispenser is on the right.
With the exception of the SOAK program, before every washing cycle it
is necessary to add the required amount of detergent to the detergent
dispenser. The rinse aid, on the other hand, should only be added as
required.
ADDING THE RINSE AID
The rinse aid helps the dishes dry faster and
prevents the formation of scale deposits and
staining; it is automatically added to the water
during the final rinse cycle, from the container
situated on the inner side of the door.
To fill the rinse aid reservoir:
•Open the door.
•Rotate the container cap anticlockwise by ¼of a turn and remove it.
•Add the rinse aid until the container is full (approximately 140 cc).
The optical level indicator on the side of the cap should be
completely obscured. Refill the rinse aid when the optical level
indicator becomes clear again, or when the rinse aid warning light
illuminates.
•Replace the cover and turn it in a clockwise direction.
•Use a cloth to remove any spillage of rinse aid which might lead to
the formation of excess foam.

User instructions
17
ADJUSTING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER SETTING
The dishwasher is factory set for medium water hardness. However it
possible to change the setting by turning the dispenser’s selector to the
desired position: the amount of rinse aid dispensed is proportional to the
selector position.
•To adjust the rinse aid setting, rotate the dispenser cap through a
quarter turn in an anticlockwise direction and remove it.
•Then use a screwdriver to rotate the rinse aid selector to the desired
position.
•Replace the cap, turning it clockwise.
•The amount of rinse aid must be increased if the washed dishes
appear dull or feature circular stains.
•If, on the other hand, the dishes are sticky or have white streaks, it
is necessary to reduce the rinse aid setting.
ADDING THE DETERGENT
To open the detergent dispenser cover, lightly press
the button P. Add the detergent and close the cap
carefully.
During the washing cycle, the dispenser will be
opened automatically.

User instructions

•When a program with hot prewash is selected (see program table),
extra detergent must be placed in the cavity H.
•Use only detergents specially formulated for dishwashers. For optimal
washing results it is important to use a good quality detergent.
•The detergent packs must be sealed and stored in a dry place to
prevent the formation of lumps which may negatively affect washing
results. Once opened the detergent packs should not be kept for too
long, otherwise the detergent loses its effectiveness.
•Do not use detergents formulated for washing dishes by hand,
because they produce a great deal of foam and may negatively affect
the operation of the dishwasher.
•Add the correct amount of detergent. An insufficient amount of
detergent will result in partial removal of dirt from the dishes, whereas
an excessive amount is wasteful and does not improve the washing
results.
•The market offers liquid and powder detergents with differing chemical
compositions, which may contain phosphates, or be phosphate-free
but contain natural enzymes.
- Detergents containing phosphates are more effective against
grease and starch at temperatures above 60°C.
- Enzyme detergents, on the other hand, are also effective at lower
temperatures (from 40 to 55°C) and are more easily
biodegradable. With enzyme detergents it is possible to obtain at
low temperatures comparable results to those which can only be
achieved at 65°C using traditional detergents.
For the safeguarding of the environment we recommend the use of
phosphate- and chlorine free detergents.
The introduction of detergent into the rinse aid dispenser, even in
liquid form, will damage the dishwasher.
