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. Before putting
the dishwasher into its definitive position, turn on the water tap and check
that there are no leaks from the tap connection, the dishwasher
connection or the hose.
Level the appliance on the floor using the appropriate Allen key to regulate
the adjustable feet. This operation is essential for ensuring correct
operation of the dishwasher.
Some models are 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.
Building-in a dishwasher underneath a hob 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.).
For free-standing models only:
- Installing a hob on top of a free-standing dishwasher is absolutely
forbidden.
- To build in the dishwasher, the special kit must be purchased from
authorised dealers or the After-Sales Service.
- The tops of free-standing dishwashers can be removed to allow them to
be installed underneath a worktop. This procedure must be carried
ou
t by authorised staff.

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 A supplied 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 dishwas
hers 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.

3.2 Washing programs
The dishwasher is equipped with a control panel, described in chapter "3.
Description of the controls", from which it is possible to carry out all the
power switch-on, switch-off and programming operations.
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.
Warning:
during the initial phase of the washing program, the operation of sprayers
is not perceived because they start rotating about 5 minutes after the start.
This is the normal operation of the washing cycle.
ENERSAVE
The Enersave function, which allows a further reduction in power
consumption, is only activated at the end of the Eco and half-load
programs. At the end of the program an automatic device releases the
door, which slowly opens by a few centimetres (brief acoustic signal). This
allows optimal drying, even with low rinsing temperatures, for significant
energy savings.
Between the final rinsing and the end of the program (opening of the door),
the dishwasher remains inactive to allow proper drying.
Opening the door inter
rupts the drying cycle and the program ends.
If this function is active, never prevent the door from opening by any
means, clear the space necessary to allow the opening of the door. Do
not force the closure of the door before the end of cycle signal, because
this would damage the mechanism.

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 detergent directly on the dishes.

4. Operating instructions
Once the dishwasher has been correctly installed, prepare for use as
follows:
 Adjust the water softening system (on some models only);
 Add the regenerating salt (on some models only);
 Add the rinse aid and detergent.
4.1 Using the water softening system
(on some models only)
The amount of scale contained in the water
(water hardness index) can cause whitish
staining on the dry dishes, which tend to
become dull over time. The dishwasher is
equipped with an automatic softening
system which uses a special regenerating
salt to reduce the hardness of the water.
When using water of medium hardness, the regenerating salt container
should be refilled after approximately 20 washing cycles. The salt
container can hold approximately 1.7 Kg of salt in grains. The container is
situated at the bottom of the dishwasher. After removing the lower basket,
unscrew the salt container cap by turning it anticlockwise and pour in the
salt using the funnel supplied with the dishwasher. Before replacing the
cap, remove any salt residues from around the opening.
 When using the dishwasher for the first time, in addition to the salt it
is also necessary to add one litre of water to the container.
 Each time the salt container is refilled, make sure that the cap is
securely closed. The mixture of water and detergent must never
penetrate the salt container, as this would compromise the operation
of the regeneration system. In the event of this occurring, the warranty
will be invalidated.
 Only use regenerating salt specially formulated for domestic
dishwashers. If using salt tablets, do not fill the container
completely.
SALT

User instructions
20
 Do not use table salt as it contains insoluble substances which, over
time, may damage the water softening system.
 When necessary, refill the regenerating salt container before
starting the washing program. In this way, the excess saline
solution will be immediately removed by the water; the prolonged
presence of salt water inside the tank may lead to corrosion.
Be careful not to confuse the salt and detergent packages; adding
detergent to the salt container will damage the water softening system.
ADJUSTING THE WATER SOFTENING SYSTEM
The setting can be adjusted using the PROGRAM SELECTION
BUTTON (7). Keep the button pressed until the WATER HARDNESS
ADJUSTMENT INDICATOR LIGHT (5) flashes. The SELECTED
PROGRAM INDICATOR LIGHTS (8) indicate the current setting. Each
press of the button modifies the setting according to the sequence in the
following table:
>
After carrying out the adjustment or displaying the current setting, if you
do not touch the button for a few seconds the dishwasher will
automatically exit from adjustment mode and return to the standard
operating mode.
