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.
For free-standing models only
-Installing a hob on top of a free-standing dishwasher is absolutely
forbidden.
-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.
-To build in the dishwasher, the special kit must be purchased from
authorised dealers or the After-Sales Service.

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.

Installation instructions

2.2 Electrical connection and precautions
CHECK THAT THE VOLTAGE AND THE FREQUENCY OF THE MAINS MATCH
THE RATINGS ON THE NAME PLATE OF THE APPLIANCE POSITIONED ON
THE INNER EDGE OF THE DOOR.
THE PLUG ON THE SUPPLY CORD AND THE CORRESPONDING SOCKET
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.
In the event of damage to the supply cord, have it replaced by the
manufacturer or an Authorized Technical Service Centre in order to
avoid any risk.

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.
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.

4. Operating instructions
Once the dishwasher has been correctly installed, prepare for use as
follows:
•Add the rinse aid and detergent.
4.1 Using the rinse aid and detergent dispensers
The detergent and rinse aid
dispensers are situated on the inner
part of the door: the detergent
dispenser is on the left, and the
rinse aid dispenser is on the right.
With the exception of the SOAK program, before every washing cycle it
is necessary to add the required amount of detergent to the detergent
dispenser. The rinse aid, on the other hand, should only be added as
required.
ADDING THE RINSE AID
The rinse aid helps the dishes dry faster and
prevents the formation of scale deposits and
staining; it is automatically added to the water
during the final rinse cycle, from the container
situated on the inner side of the door.
To add rinse aid:
•Open the door.
•Rotate the container cap anticlockwise by ¼ of a turn and remove it.
•Add the rinse aid until the container is full (approximately 140 cc).
The optical level indicator on the side of the cap should be
completely obscured. Refill the rinse aid when the optical level
indicator becomes clear again, or when the rinse aid warning light
illuminates.
•Replace the cover and turn it in a clockwise direction.
•Use a cloth to remove any spillage of rinse aid which might lead to
the formation of excess foam.

User instructions

ADJUSTING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER SETTING
The dishwasher is factory set for medium water hardness. However it
possible to change the setting by turning the dispenser’s selector to the
desired position: the amount of rinse aid dispensed is proportional to the
selector position.
•To adjust the rinse aid setting, rotate the dispenser cap through a
quarter turn in an anticlockwise direction and remove it.
•Then use a screwdriver to rotate the rinse aid selector to the desired
position.
•Replace the cap, turning it clockwise.
•The amount of rinse aid must be increased if the washed dishes
appear dull or feature circular stains.
•If, on the other hand, the dishes are sticky or have white streaks, it
is necessary to reduce the rinse aid setting.
ADDING THE DETERGENT
To open the detergent dispenser cap, lightly press
the button P. Add the detergent and close the cap
carefully.
During the washing cycle, the dispenser will be
opened automatically.
When a EXTRA HYGIENE program is selected, in addition to the normal
dose of detergent, it is necessary to add an additional amount inside
compartment Gor H.

•Use only detergents specially formulated for dishwashers. For
optimal washing results it is important to use a good quality
detergent.
•The detergent packs must be sealed and stored in a dry place to
prevent the formation of lumps which may negatively affect washing
results. Once opened the detergent packs should not be kept for too
long, otherwise the detergent loses its effectiveness.
•Do not use detergents formulated for washing dishes by hand,
because they produce a great deal of foam and may negatively
affect the operation of the dishwasher.
•Add the correct amount of detergent. An insufficient amount of
detergent will result in a partial removal of dirt from the dishes,
whereas an excessive amount is wasteful and does not improve the
washing results.
•The market offers liquid and powder detergents with differing
chemical compositions, which may contain phosphates, or be
phosphate-free but contain natural enzymes.
- Detergents containing phosphates are more effective against
grease and starch at temperatures above 60°C.
-Enzyme detergents, on the other hand, are also effective at lower
temperatures (from 40 to 55°C) and are more easily
biodegradable. With enzyme detergents it is possible to obtain at
low temperatures comparable results to those which can only be
achieved at 65°C using traditional detergents.
For the safeguarding of the environment we recommend the use of
phosphate- and chlorine free detergents.
