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 ensurestability, 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 its adjustable feet. This operation is
essential for ensuring correct operation of the dishwasher.
Some models areequipped with onlyoneadjustablefootattherear,which
can be adjusted by turning the screw on the lower front part of the
appliance.
Building-in adishwasher underneath a hob isabsolutely forbidden.
Moreover, dishwashersmay not beinstalleddirectlytouching 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.).

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.
Thedishwashercanalsobeconnectedtoahotwatersupply
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.

Installation instructions
9
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.

3.3 Washing programs
The dishwasher is equipped with a control panel and an
INFORMATION
DISPLAY 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 5minutes after the start.
This is the normal operation of the washing cycle.
LIGHTING
Pressing the ON/OFF button will start the dishwasher and will lit up the
dishwasher pilot light. After approximately 3 second from this operation
the DISPLAY will be turned on with a visualization that will depend upon
the state of the dishwasher.

START/PAUSE for some seconds until the symbol START/PAUSE
start toflashand confirmation“beep” is heard. From thismoment the cycle
duration on the DISPLAY starts to decrease.
This phase, that updates itself during the cycle, is “indicative” since it is
influenced by the washing conditions such as dishwasher type and
quantity, entry temperature etc. For this reason it is normal to see the
updating during a program (increment and decrease of minutes) specially
in the passage from one phase to the other (for example, from washing to
rinse).
Program progress isindicatedby the program phases that show the status
of the current cycle.
The current phase flashes, while the next washing phases lights stay on.
At the end of each phase, the signal will turn off.

OPTIONS
The selection of options is controlled by the
relative buttons and indicated by the warning
light below the symbol. Please read the
paragraphs relating to each option for their
usage details.
QUICK TIME PROGRAMS
Select this option together with any washing program (except the soak
program) to SHORTEN the cycle by from a minimum of 10% to a
maximum of 55%, depending on the cycle selected. To activate this
option, press the QUICK OPTION button (light comes on) after
selecting the program required. The option is automatically deactivated at
the end of the program.
ENERSAVE
This option further reduces energy consumption by opening the door at
the end of the cycle for more effective drying. At the end of the wash an
automatic device releases the door, which slowly opens by a few
centimetres. This allows optimal drying even with low rinsing
temperatures, for significant energy saving.
The dishwasher remains in an idle state between the rinse stage and the
end of the cycle to allow proper drying (the display shows thetimeleft until
the end of the cycle). Opening the door at this stage causes the cycle to
stop and ends the program.
The program end is signalled by a short beep and the flashing of the
indicator lights for programs 4 and 5.
When the function is activated, opening of the door
must not be
impeded in any way; do not leave anything in the necessary space in
front of the door to allow it to open. Do not force the door lock before
the end of the cycle is signalled, as this would damage the mechanism.
When the function is activated, opening of the door must not be
impeded in any way; do not leave anything in the space in front of the
door necessary to allow it to open.
Do not re-close the door during automatic opening as this would
damage the mechanism. Wait for the pushers to retract before re-closing
the door.

Flexi Tabs
Ideal for multi-function detergents, this option allows washing to be
optimised, with full benefits from the combined-action tablets. When this
option is activated, any salt and rinse aid in the relative containers will not
be used.
If the option is not provided, we recommend the use of conventional
products (separate detergent, salt and rinse aid), because with
conventional washing cycles, combined products might create problems
such as a white deposit, poor drying results and residues left on dishes.
N.B.:
When the salt and rinse aid containers are empty, the relative lights will
remain on even if the “Flexi Tabs” option is selected.
IMPORTANT:
when no longer required, the option must be deactivated by pressing the
relative
