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 hob is absolutely
forbidden.
A dishwasher can be built-in underneath a conventional hob provided
there is no break in the kitchen worktop, and the dishwasher and hob are
installed and secured correctly, so that no hazards are generated.
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.).
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.
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.

Installation instructions
6
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.

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.
IF THE APPLIANCE IS PROVIDED WITH A PLUGLESS SUPPLY CORD:

REFERENCES for the ENERGY LABEL supplied with the dishwasher:
- Annual energy consumption is based on 280 standard wash cycles with
cold water and consumption of low-energy operating modes. Actual
consumption depends on the way in which the appliance is used.
- Water consumption is based on 280 standard wash cycles. Actual
consumption depends on the way in which the appliance is used.
- Information refers to the EN 50242 STANDARD programme (identified in the
programmes table), which is the most effective in terms of combined energy
and water consumption. The programme is recommended for dishes with a
normal level of dirt.
- Energy consumption in “sleep” mode = 0.02 W.
- Energy consumption in “on” mode = 1.5 W.
- Drying efficiency class on a scale from “G” (minimum efficiency) to “A”
(maximum efficiency).

3.2 ashing 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.
QUICK TIME OPTION
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 SPEED OPTION button (light comes on) after
selecting the program required. The option is automatically deactivated
at the end of the program.
ENERSAVE OPTION
This option can be selected with the wash programme of choice to
further reduce energy consumption. Drying is aided by a special device
that automatically releases the door, which opens slowly and smoothly
by a few centimetres. This ensures perfect drying and greater control of
rinsing temperatures, which can be kept at lower levels for significant
energy saving.
Once the door has opened, the dishwasher
emits a short beep and programme lights
nos. 4 and 5 (marked “end”) flash to indicate
the end of the washing cycle.
The option is activated by pressing key ENERSAVE and the relative
light illuminates to indicate its activation.
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.

User instructions

SPREAD HALF LOAD OPTION
Suitable when there are not many dishes to be washed, it saves energy
and reduces the program duration. Place dishes in both baskets then
load the detergent dispenser than less than the normal amount for a full
load.
EXTRA OPTIONS - “Flexi Tabs” BUTTON
Press buttons 6 + 8 (QUICK TIME option button + ENERSAVE option
button) simultaneously to activate the "Flexi Tabs" option; the
respective light comes on to confirm the selection.
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: the option continues to be active until it is deactivated by
pressing buttons 6 + 8 simultaneously; the light will then go out.
If the water hardness has been set on a value above H3, and the “Flexi
Tabs” option is activated, the relative light flashes, warning of a setting
error. Integrated products are not suitable for use with very "hard" water;
this does not prevent the use of the option, but the washing results
might not be of the best.
