Installing the dishwasher
Positioning the dishwasher
When installing your dishwasher, make sure you choose a place where you can easily load
and unload your dishes.
Do not install your dishwasher in a place where the ambient temperature may drop below 5°C.
Sub-zero temperatures may damage the hoses or cause the electronic board to malfunction.
Before positioning the dishwasher, remove it from its packaging, and observe the warnings
on the packaging.
Position the dishwasher close to a water supply and a water drain. You must install your
dishwasher so that the connections are not altered once they have been made.
Do not pull the dishwasher by the door or control panel to move it.
Ensure that you leave space around the dishwasher so that it can be moved easily during
cleaning.
Take care not to jam the water inlet and drain hoses when positioning the dishwasher.
Ensure that you do not trap the electric cable under the dishwasher.
Adjust the legs of the dishwasher so that it is level and stable. It is essential to position the
dishwasher correctly for the door to open and close properly.
If your dishwasher door does not close properly, check that the dishwasher is level and stable
on the floor; if not, position the dishwasher in a stable position using the adjustable legs.
Water connection
Check that the water supply is suitable to install a dishwasher. We recommend that you
install a filter after your water meter to prevent residues (sand, clay, rust, etc.) that may be
brought into the water system or the indoor plumbing installation which could cause damage
to the dishwasher and inconveniences, such as yellowing of the dishes or the formation of
deposits after washing.

6EN
Using the appliance
B
Water inlet hose
The appliance must be connected to the water supply network using
the new connection sets supplied with the appliance; used connection
sets must not be reused.
Before connecting the new or water inlet hose, or one that has not been
used for a long time, to your dishwasher, run water through it for a
while. Manually connect the water inlet hose directly to the inlet tap.
The pressure at the tap must be a minimum of 0.03 Mpa and a maximum
of 1 Mpa. If the water pressure is greater than 1 Mpa, install a pressure
reducing device between the tap and the pipe. Once the connections
are made, open the valve completely and check that there are no leaks.
For your safety, always close the inlet tap after each programme. Check the marking on the
water inlet hose! If the hose is marked 25°C, the water temperature must be a maximum of
25°C (cold water).
For all other models: Preferably cold water; hot water with a maximum temperature of 60°C.
N.B.
Some models use an Aquastop system.
If your dishwasher is equipped with this option, there
is a dangerous voltage. Never cut the Aquastop nozzle
and make sure that it is not bent or twisted.

7EN

B
Drain hose
The drain hose can be connected either directly to a fixed drain or to the special connection
under the sink. Using a special elbow pipe (if available), the dishwasher can be emptied
directly into the sink by hanging the elbow pipe on the edge of the sink.This connection must
be at least 50 cm and no more than 110 cm above ground level.
max 110 cm
min 4 cm
min 50 cm
WARNING
The length of the drainage hose should not be changed,
as the appliance will not be able to drain properly. In this
case, our company will not accept any responsibility.

Power supply connection
WARNING
The appliance must be grounded.
Before connecting to the mains, check that the rated voltage of the appliance (marked on the
nameplate of the appliance) corresponds to the voltage of the power supply. The power supply
socket must also be capable of supporting the power rating of the appliance (also stated on
the appliance's rating plate).
In case of doubt, please contact a qualified electrician, the product must be installed according
to the instructions in this manual and in compliance with the standards in force.
In case of non-compliance the manufacturer cannot be held responsible.
This appliance is designed to use a 220-240V power supply. If your power supply is different,
contact a licensed professional or a qualified electrician. Always use the power cord and plug
supplied with the unit.
At low voltage, the efficiency of your dishwasher will be lower. If the power cable is damaged,
it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its after-sales department or a similarly qualified
person in order to avoid any danger. Otherwise, accidents may happen.
For safety reasons, always unplug the machine at the end of the programme.
To avoid an electric shock, do not unplug the appliance when your hands are wet. Always
unplug your dishwasher from the plug. Never pull on the power cable.

Preparing the dishwasher for use
Getting started
• Make sure that the electrical and water supply specifications correspond to the values
indicated in the installation instructions for the appliance.
• Remove all packing materials from inside the appliance.
• Set the water softener level.
• Fill the container with rinse aid.
Using salt
To work properly, the dishwasher needs soft water, i.e. with less limescale. Otherwise, white
lime residue will remain on dishes and interior equipment.
This will have a negative impact on the washing, drying and shining performance of your
appliance. As the water flows through the softener, the ions that form the hydrometry are
removed from the water; it therefore obtains the softness level required for an optimal washing
result. Depending on the water content of the incoming water, these water-hardening ions
quickly accumulate in the softener. The water softener should be topped up so that it maintains
the same performance during the next wash cycle. Use dishwasher salt for this purpose.
Please use only special dishwasher salt to soften the water in the machine. Do not use table
salt or powdered salt that dissolves easily in water. Using any other type of salt may damage
your machine.
Filling the salt reservoir.
To add softening salt, open the salt compartment cover by turning it clockwise. (1) (2) When
using for the first time, put 1 kg of salt and water (3) into the compartment until it almost
overflows. You can use a funnel (not supplied) (4) for easier filling. Replace the cover and close it.
After every 20 to 30 cycles, add salt to your appliance until it is full (about 1 kg).

SALT
Add salt to the salt compartment only when using it for the first time.
Use softening salt specially made for use in dishwashers.
When you start the dishwasher for the first time, the salt compartment fills with water.

12 EN
Using the appliance
B
Therefore, you should put the softening salt into the appliance before starting it.
If you do not start your appliance immediately after the softening salt has overflowed, run a
short washing programme to stop corrosion.

Water softener system
The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener system that reduces the hardness of the
main water supply. To find the level of hardness in your tap water, contact your water company
or use the testing strip (if available).
Settings
• Switch on the dishwasher by pressing the Start/Stop button.
• Press the Programme button for at least 3 seconds immediately after the machine has
been switched on.
• Release the programme selection button when "SL" is displayed on the screen. Then the
last setting level is displayed.
• Press the programmes button to set the desired level. Each time the Programme button is
pressed, this increases the level. Once level 6 is reached, pressing this button again returns
the level to 1.
• To save the last selected water hardness level in the memory, switch off the machine by
pressing the Start/Stop button.
Use of detergent
Use only detergents specifically designed for domestic dishwashers. Keep the detergents in
a cool, dry place, out of reach of children.
Add the suitable detergent for the selected programme to ensure best performance. The
amount of detergent required depends on the wash cycle, load size, and the level of dirtiness
of the dishes.
Do not fill the detergent compartment with more detergent than necessary, otherwise you
may see whitish or bluish streaks on the glass and dishes, or cause the glass to corrode.
Continuous use of too much detergent can damage the machine.
Using too little detergent can lead to poor cleaning, and you may see whitish hard water spots.
Refer to the detergent manufacturer's instructions for more information.

Filling with detergent
Press the latch to open the dispenser and pour in the detergent.
Close the cover and press until it locks into place. The dispenser must be refilled just before
the start of each programme. If the dishes are very dirty, put extra detergent in the pre-wash
detergent compartment.
DETERGENT
Using mixed detergents
These products must be used according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Never put mixed detergents in the inner compartment or in the cutlery basket.
Mixed detergents contain not only detergent, but also rinse aid, salt substitutes and additional
components depending on the mixture.
We recommend avoiding mixed detergents for short programmes. Use powdered detergents
instead.
If you encounter a problem when using combination detergent, please contact the detergent
manufacturer.
When you stop using combination detergents, make sure that the water hardness and rinse
aid settings are set to the correct level.
Using rinse aid
The rinse aid helps to dry the dishes without leaving any lines or stains.
The rinse aid is necessary for spotless utensils and clear glasses. The rinse aid is automatically
released during the hot rinsing phase.
If the rinse aid dose is set too low, whitish spots remain on the dishes and the dishes are not
dry and clean.
