SELECTING HALF LOAD WASH
This function is ideal for small loads and saves water and electricity. It is
controlled by the HALF LOAD (10) button, with two alternatives:
1) press the button once to select washing in the top basket (the
relative light comes on);
2) press the button a second time to select washing in the bottom
basket (the relative light comes on);
3) press the button a third time to return to the normal full load
washing mode (washing in both baskets, both lights off).
When washing in the bottom basket only, the cutlery basket can be
divided so that only half is used.
EXTRA PROGRAMS
Button (6) gives access to five extra programs in addition to the ones
which can be selected directly using the program selector button.
This button must be pressed (the light comes on) after selection of the
"main" program (1, 2, 3, 4 or 5).
This function is retained in the memory, so the button has to be
pressed again (the light goes out) if the user wishes to execute one of
the 5 main programs at the next cycle.

"3/1" OPTION BUTTON
(available in all programs except the soak program)
By pressing the button (8) you activate the "3/1" option, confirmed when
the relative light comes on. This option has been studied for the use of
dishwashing powder or tablets with integrated substances in place of
regenerating salt or rinse-aid known on the market as “3 in 1” or “triple
action” products; in this case the dishwasher will use the product in an
optimal way avoiding salt and rinse-aid consumption, which could
already be found in the dishwasher.
Note: When selecting the "3/1" button, it is normal that the salt and
rinse-aid lights remain on, if their containers are empty.
DELAYING THE PROGRAM
The PROGRAM DELAY button (12) can be pressed to delay the start of
the program by up to 9 hours. This means that the dishwasher can be
operated at the time of day of your choice. Press the button several
times in succession and the display will show the delay with which the
appliance will start, beginning from 9 hours.
TO SAVE ON ENERGY! … AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT
•Always try to run the dishwasher fully loaded.
•Do not wash the dishes in running water.
•Use the washing program that is most appropriate for each type of
load.
•Do not carry out any preliminary rinsing.
•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.

preset value appears followed by a full stop (normally 3.).
Release the button then press it again in succession to display the value
required, referring to the table.
The 6setting levels available will appear in this order:
3.,4.,5.,0.,1.,2..
When the value required appears on the display, release the button;
after 5 seconds the system automatically returns to setting of the
program delay, and the setting will be made with the chosen value.
N.B.: the display shows the water hardness setting and the program
delay. The dot (.) after the number indicates that the water hardness
setting is being displayed. If the dot (.) does not appear, the program
delay is being displayed.

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.
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.

Installation instructions

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.
-If the appliance is not built-in and is therefore accessible on one
side, the door hinge area must be covered for safety reasons (injury
hazard). The covering fixtures are available as an accessory from
specialist dealers or the After-Sales Service.

Installation instructions

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.
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 ¼ of a turn with pliers.
In dishwashers 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.
