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 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.

User 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.
Class of protection against moisture: IPX0

Flexi Tabs
Specifically for washing with combination detergents in tablets, which also
contain salt and rinse aid (3in1) or other agents such as glass protector,
steel rinse aids, etc. (4in1, 5in1…). When this option is selected, salt and
rinse aid will not be dispensed even if the relative compartments contain
them. If the containers are empty, the lights will remain on.
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.
For further information, refer to the detergent pack.
IMPORTANT:
when no longer required, the option must be deactivated by pressing the
relative
button
(the light goes out).
These products are not suitable for use with excessively “hard” water.
If the hardness level set is higher than H3, when the option is activated
the relative light flashes to indicate that the product is being used
incorrectly; the dishwasher will still work, but washing results may be
poor

TO SAVE ON ENERGY! … AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT
 Always use the dishwasher with a full load.
 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.
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.

User instructions

.
ENERGY MANAGEMENT
After 5 minutes of waiting (washing cycle completed, stopped or set but
not started) the dishwasher switches to a standby state to reduce energy
consumption.
In this state, the dishwasher indicator panel (lights or display depending
on model) functions more slowly (
switch
-
on once
every
5 seconds
).
REMOVING THE DISHES
At the end of the washing program, wait at least 20 minutes before
removing the dishes, to allow them to cool. To ensure that any drops of
water left in the top basket cannot drip onto the dishes still in the bottom
basket, you are advised always to
empty the bottom basket first
.

4. Operating instructions
Once the dishwasher has been correctly installed, prepare for use as
follows:
 Adjust the water softening system;
 Add the regenerating salt;
 Add the rinse aid and detergent.
4.1 Using the water softening system
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 Kg of salt in grains. Some models are
equipped with an optical no-salt indicator. In these models, the cap of the
salt container contains a green float which descends as the salt
concentration in the water drops. When the green float can no longer be
seen through the transparent cap, the container must be topped up with
regenerating salt. 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
