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 areequippedwith onlyone adjustable footat therear,which
can be adjusted by turning the screw on the lower front part of the
appliance.
Building-in adishwasher underneath a hob is absolutely forbidden.
Moreover, dishwashersmay not beinstalleddirectlytouchingappliances
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.
- If the appliance is not built-in and is therefore accessible on one side, the
door hinge area must be covered for safety
reasons (injuryhazard). 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.
Thedishwashercanalsobeconnectedtoahotwater 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.

ENERSAVE
The Enersave function, which allows a further reduction in power
consumption, is only activated at the end of the Eco program.At the end
of theprogram an automatic device releases thedoor, 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 theend of theprogram (opening of the door),
the dishwasher remains inactive to allow proper drying.
Opening the door interrupts the drying cycle and the program ends.
Do not leave anything in the spacein 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.

3.2 Washing programs
Before starting a washing program make sure that:
The water supply tap is open.
The softener container contains regenerating salt.
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.
OPTION SELECTION
Options are selected by pressing the relative button by the symbol of the
option required; the light comes on to confirm that the option has been
activated.
It is not possible to select any options when the soak program
is being used.
All options except "Flexi tabs" are disabled at the end of the
wash cycle. To disable the “Flexi tabs” option, press the
relative button (the light goes out).
All options, including "Flexi tabs" are disabled when a program
is CANCELLED after it has begun.
ADDITIONAL OPTIONS
Some models feature additional options, activated by pressing two
buttons simultaneously. In this case, two lines in the control panel
graphics link the symbol of the additional option to the two buttons to be
pressed simultaneously to enable it. (e.g. “Flexi Tabs” in this illustration)

User instructions

Flexi Tabs
Specificallyfor washingwith combinationdetergentsin tablets, whichalso
contain salt and rinse aid or other agents such as glass protector, steel
rinse aids, etc. 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.
With short programs, because there is less time for them to dissolve,
tablets may fail to wash effectively and undissolved residues may be left.
Powder detergents are more suitable for these programs.
For further information, refer to the detergent pack.
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 button (the light goes 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. Multi-function products are not suitable for use with very "hard"
water; this does not prevent the useof the option, butthe washing results
might not be of the best.
ULTRA CLEAN
The "ULTRA CLEAN" program prolongs the final hot rinse to ensure a
further reduction in the bacteria level. If the temperature in the tank falls
during this stageof theprogram (e.g. becausethe door is opened or due to
a power blackout), the light of the option and the program lights (2) flash to
warn that the additional washing phase has not been completed
successfully. This does not mean that the wash program has been less
effective than usual.

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 washingis in progress, theprogram 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.
SWITCHING OFF
At the end of the program the beeper sounds
briefly and the lights of programs no. 4and 5
(marked "end") flash.
To switchoff thedishwasher, open thedoor andpress the
ON/OFF
button
(1).
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.
