USING THE DISHWASHER
Before using the dishwasher:
Inside Outside
1. Setting the water softener
2. Salt insertion
3. Loading the rack
4. Filling the dispenser
Salt insertion
NOTE
If your model doesn't have water softeners, you can skip this section. Always
use dishwasher salt.
IMPORTANT
Use only dishwasher-specific salt!
Any other type of salt not specifically designed for use in dishwashers,
particularly kitchen salt, will damage the water softener. In case of damage
caused by the use of unsuitable salt, the manufacturer does not provide any
warranty and is not liable for any damage caused.
Fill the salt container first and perform a short washing cycle. This will prevent
any grain of salt or salt water, which may have been spilled, from remaining at
the bottom of the machine for an extended period of time causing corrosion.
8

The salt container is located under the lower basket and must be filled as
explained below:
1. Remove the lower basket and unscrew the tank cap.
2. Insert the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and pour about 1.5 kg
of dishwasher salt.
3. Fill the salt container up to the maximum limit with water, it is normal for a
small amount of water to come out of the salt container.
4. After filling the container, tighten the cap firmly.
5. The salt light will go out after the salt container is filled.
6. Immediately after filling the salt container, a washing program should be
started (we recommend using a short cycle). Otherwise, the filter system,
pump or other important parts of the machine may be damaged by salt
residues. In this case, the damage caused is not covered by the warranty.
NOTE
⚫The salt container must only be filled when the salt control light ( ) is
lit on the control panel. Depending on how the salt dissolves, the light
may still be on even if the salt container is full.
If there is no salt control light on the control panel (for some models),
you can estimate when to fill the salt in the softener based on the cycles
the dishwasher has made.
⚫If some salt escapes from the container, perform soaking or a quick
program to remove it.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
External cleaning
Door and door seal
Clean the door seals regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove food deposits.
When loading the dishwasher, food and drink residues can drip on the outside of the
dishwasher door and should be removed before closing the door.
Control panel
If cleaning is necessary, use only a soft, damp cloth to clean the control panel.
IMPORTANT
To prevent water from penetrating the door lock and electrical control panel, do not use
spray cleaners of any kind.
Never use abrasive cleaners or abrasive pads on external surfaces because they can
scratch; even some paper towels can scratch or leave marks on the surface.
11

Internal cleaning
Filtering system
The filter system at the base of the sink retains coarse debris from the
washing cycle. Coarse debris collected may cause filter clogging. Check the
condition of the filters regularly and clean them under running water if
necessary.
Follow the steps below to clean the filters.
NOTE
The images are for reference only, depending on the model
purchased the filtering system and the lower wash arm may be
different. The images are intended only as an example.
1. Hold filter 1 and turn it counter-
clockwise to unlock. Lift the filter up
and pull it out of the dishwasher.
2. Filter 3 can be removed from the
bottom of the filter assembly. Filter
1 can be removed from filter 2 gently
by pressing and turning it counter-

4. Refit the filters on the back in
disassembly order, replace and
insert the filter and turn clockwise as
shown by the arrow.
IMPORTANT
Don't overtighten the filters. Put the filters back in sequence safely, otherwise coarse
debris could enter the system and cause a blockage.
NEVER use the dishwasher without filters. Improper filter replacement can reduce the
performance level of the appliance and create damage to dishes and tools that will not be
covered under warranty.

Washing arms
The washing arms must be cleaned regularly to prevent hard water
chemicals from clogging the washing arm jets and bearings. To clean the
spray arms, follow the instructions below:
1. To remove the upper washing arm,
hold the nut in the centre and turn the
washing arm counter-clockwise to
remove it.
2. To remove the lower washing arm,
pull it upwards.
3. Wash your arms with soap and warm water and use a soft brush to clean the jets. Dry
them after rinsing them thoroughly.
14

Folding the shelves
To make room for taller objects in the dishwasher basket, lift the grill
upwards. It will then be possible to place the tall glasses against it. You
can even remove it when you don't need to use it.
Folding the racks
Racks are used to hold trays and dishes. They can be lowered to
create more space for large objects.
Pull upwards Bend backwards

Water supply and drainage
CONNECTION TO THE DRINKING WATER SYSTEM
NOTE
If the appliance is replaced, a new water filling hose must be used.
Connect the appliance to a drinking water system using the components provided.
Make sure that the drinking water connection is not bent, crushed or wrapped around
itself.
Connect the cold water supply hose to a 3/4 (inch) threaded connector and make sure it
is tightened correctly.
If the water pipes are new or have not been used for a long period of time, let the water
run to make sure it is clear. This precaution is necessary to avoid the risk of water
blocking or damaging the appliance.
Information on the safety supply pipe
The safety water supply pipe consists of double walls. The hose system guarantees a
preventive intervention by blocking the water flow in case of breakage and when the air
space between the water supply hose itself and the external corrugated hose is full of
water.
IMPORTANT
A hose attached to a sink can burst if installed on the same water line as the dishwasher.
How to connect the safety water supply pipe
1. Pull the safety supply pipes completely out of the storage compartment located
behind the dishwasher.
2. Tighten the screws of the safety supply pipe to the tap with the 3/4-inch thread.
3. Run the water completely before starting the dishwasher.
How to disconnect the safety water supply pipe
1. Turn off the water.
2. Unscrew the safety supply pipe from the tap.
DRAINING CONNECTION
Connect the appliance to a water draining connection so that dirty water from the
washing cycle can drain off.
Connect the draining pipe with a diameter of 4 cm to the siphon drain sleeve.
Make sure that the draining pipe is not bent, crushed or wrapped around itself.
Make sure that there is no plug in the drain that prevents water from draining.
The height of the draining pipe must be less than 1000 mm. The end of the pipe must not
be immersed in water to prevent backflow.
16
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Fasten the draining pipe firmly in either position A or B
How to drain excess water from pipes
If the sink is higher than 1000 mm from the floor, excess water in the pipes cannot be
discharged directly into the sink. You will need to drain excess water from the pipes into a
suitable bowl or container that is held outside and lower than the sink.
Water outlet
Connect the water draining pipe. The draining pipe must be installed correctly to prevent
water leaks. Make sure that the water draining pipe is not bent or crushed.
Extension tube
If a draining pipe extension is required, be sure to use a similar draining pipe.
It must be no longer than 4 metres; otherwise the cleaning effect of the dishwasher may
be reduced.
Siphon connection
The connection to the siphon trap must be 100 cm below the bottom of the dish. The
water draining pipe must be secured.
CORRECT POSITIONING OF THE DISHWASHER
Place the appliance in the desired position. The rear should rest on the wall, and on the
sides, along adjacent furniture or walls. The dishwasher is equipped with a water supply
and the drainpipes can be positioned on the right or left side to facilitate correct
installation.

Free-standing machine installation
Built-in machine installation
Step 1. Selecting the best installation position for the dishwasher
The installation position of the dishwasher must be close to the existing inlet and outlet
pipes and the power cord.
Please refer to the figures of the cabinet dimensions and installation position of the
dishwasher.
Once the appliance has been positioned for
levelling, the height of the dishwasher can be
changed by adjusting the level of screwing in
the feet.
The height of the dishwasher, 845 mm, has
been designed to allow the machine to be
installed between existing furniture in modern
and modular kitchens.
The feet can be adjusted so that the correct
height is reached.
The laminate top of the machine does not
require special attention as it is heat resistant,
scratch-proof and stain-resistant.
Under the existing countertop
(in case of installation under a countertop)
In most modern modular kitchens there is only
a single countertop under which cabinets and
electrical appliances are mounted. In this case,
remove the dishwasher countertop by
unscrewing the screws under the rear edge of
the dishwasher top (a).
18

1. There must be a distance of less than 5 mm between the top of the dishwasher, and
the cabinet and the outside door must be aligned with the cabinet.
2 If the dishwasher is installed in the corner of the cabinet, there should be some
space when the door is open.
NOTE
Depending on where your electrical outlet is,
you might need to cut a hole in the side
opposite of the cabinet.
Step 2. Dimensions and installation of the external panel
