INSTALLATION
PIN13GB
Remove all packaging before positioning the
machine.
Positioning
If possible, position the machine next to a water tap
and a drain.
The sides and the back of the dishwasher can rest
against the adjacent furniture or the wall.
The dishwasher features fill and drain hoses which
can be turned either to the left or the right to suit the
installation.
Levelling
Good levelling is essential for correct closure and
sealing of the door.
If the door does not close correctly, loosen or tighten
the adjustable support feet, until the machine is
perfectly level.
Adjusting the worktop
You can move the worktop forward or backward by 25
mm in order to align the machine with other kitchen
units.
Simply unscrew the two front retaining screws, move
the top to the required position and then retighten the
screws.
Installing and securing the machine under a
kitchen unit (sink-worktop unit)
By removing the machine's worktop, you can install it
under a close fitting sink unit or a pre-existing top, if
the dimensions of the recess correspond to those
shown in the picture.
Then proceed as follows:
Remove the machine worktop by unscrewing the two
front retaining screws, pull from the front and slide out
the rear slots, lifting the worktop.
Insert the machine after adjusting the height and level-
ling with the adjustable feet. When inserting the ma-
chine, ensure that the water inlet and drain hoses are
not kinked or squashed.
Caution
Once the machine has been installed, ensure that it
can be accessed easily for servicing.

Water outlet connection
The end of the drain hose can be connected as
follows:
to the sink outlet siphon, securing it if necessary with
a clip;
to a wall outlet provided with vent-hole, minimum
internal diameter 4 cm;
hooked over the edge of the sink using the special
curved plastic guide provided.
The waste connection must be at a height of between
30 cm (minimum) and 100 cm (maximum) from the
floor.
It makes no difference which way the drain hose
faces, either to the right or left of the dishwasher.
Avoid bending or kinking the hose as this could
prevent or slow down the discharge of water.
If you use a drain hose extension it must be no longer
than 2 metres and its internal diameter must be no
smaller than the diameter of the hose provided.
Likewise the internal diameter of the couplings used
for connection to the waste outlet must be no smaller
than the diameter of the drain hose.
Water supply connections
This dishwasher may be fed with either hot (max.
60°C) or cold water.
Nevertheless we advise you a cold water supply.
A hot water supply is not always efficient with very
soiled crockery as it shortens the washing pro-
grammes a lot.
Feeding the appliance with a hot water supply (max.
60°C) will allow you to obtain considerably shorter
programmes.
For making the connection itself, the coupling nut fit-
ted to the machine's supply hose is designed to screw
onto either a 3/4 inch gas thread spout, or to a pur-
pose-made quick-coupling tap such as the Press-
Block.
To make this easier, the
hose itself may be turned
to the left or the right. In ei-
ther case, be sure that the
strainer supplied (A) is in-
corporated.
The water pressure must be within the limits given in
the technical specifications, as it will not function
correctly if pressure is outside these specifications.
Warning: the retaining ring must be properly fitted so
as to avoid water leaks.
Note: the end of the hose connected to the machine
can be positioned as required, by simply slackening
the retaining ring.
Re-tighten the ring securely to avoid water leaks.
Avoid bends or kinks in the hose, which could prevent
or slow down the flow of water.
If the machine is connected to new pipes or pipes
which have not been used for a long time, you are
advised to run the water for a few minutes before
connecting the inlet hose. This will prevent deposits of
sand or rust clogging the inlet hose filter.
Electrical connection
Before plugging the appliance into the wall socket,
make sure that:
1. the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage given
in the technical specifications;
2. the meter, fuses, mains power supply and wall
socket can all take the maximum load required.
Make sure that the socket and plug are compatible
without having to use any type of adaptor. If neces-
sary, have the domestic wiring system socket
replaced.
Safety standards require the appliance to be
earthed.
The Manufacturer accepts no liability for failure to
observe the above safety precautions.

The water softener
Water contains varying amounts of lime and mineral
salts depending on the area in which you live: these
are deposited on the dishes leaving white marks.
The higher the content of these salts, the harder your
water will be. The «hardness» level is measured on 2
equivalent scales: German degrees or French
degrees. Contact your local Water Authority to find the
exact water hardness level for your area.
The dishwasher is equipped with a softener which
uses special dishwasher salt to provide lime-free
(softened) water. The softener can treat water hard-
ness up to 90 French degrees via 5 adjustment levels.
Find on the table below the level corresponding to the
hardness of your water and the required adjustments:
*The water softener is factory set at level 2 as this suits
most users.
** If you use phosphate free detergents containing en-
zymes, use salt starting from 4°dH (7°TH).
Level 1
If your water is «level 1» it is already soft and there-
fore there is no need to use salt.
Levels 3 and 5 (water softener adjustment)
If your water is level 3 or 5, proceed as follows:
slide out the lower basket and unscrew the cap of the
salt container; turn the two-position selector anticlock-
wise from position -to position +with the aid of a
knife or a screwdriver.
Levels 4 and 5 (adjustment on the machine)
If your water is level 4 or
5, open the door and drill
membrane (A) on the up-
per left-hand corner of the
machine.
With a water hardness of level 5 both adjustments
must be made.
Important
Salt MUST be used regularly from level 2 upward.
Filling with salt
Only use salt designed specifically for use in dish-
washers. Other types of salt contain high percentages
of other substances which may reduce the efficiency
of the softener.
Unscrew the cap of the salt container.
Fill the container with 1 litre
of water (this operation is
necessary only the first
time).
Place approximately 1 kg of
dishwasher salt inside us-
ing the funnel provided (see
figure).
Replace the cap making sure that there is no trace of
salt on the screw thread or on the gasket.
Screw the cap on tightly.
When this has been done, all that is required is to
periodically add salt to the container. You are reminded
of this by the salt indicator light on the control panel
which will normally illuminate when the salt has finished.
The salt container has always some water inside
which will normally overflow when refilling with salt.
Important: the salt indicator light on the control panel
can remain illuminated for 2-6 hours after salt has
been replenished, assuming the dishwasher remains
switched on. If you are using salts that take longer to
dissolve, then the light remains illuminated for a long
period of time. The functioning of the dishwasher is
not affected.
Caution
Only fill with salt just before starting one of the com-
plete washing programmes (not Rinse and Hold pro-
gramme). This will prevent any grains of salt or salty
water, which may have been spilled, remaining on the
bottom of the machine for any period of time. This
could cause corrosion.

Rinse aid
The use of this liquid ensures thorough rinsing, spot
and streak free drying, making the water run quickly
off the dishes for sparkling results. It is automatically
added during the hot rinse. The dispenser, which is
positioned inside the door, holds about 110 ml of rinse
aid, which is sufficient for 16-40 dishwashing
programmes, depending upon the dosage setting.
Filling with rinse aid
Open the container by turning the lid (A) anticlockwise.
Add rinse aid until the container is completely full
(approx. 110 ml). The indicator (B) will be completely
dark.
Top up with rinse aid when the indicator (B) becomes
clear
Remember to CLOSE the lid after every refill.
Caution
Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an ab-
sorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next
wash.
Adjusting the dose
According to the finish and drying results obtained, adjust
the dose of rinse aid by means of the 6 position selector
(C) (position 1 - minimum dose, position 6 - maximum
dose).
Gradually increase the dose if there are drops of wa-
ter or lime spots on the dishes after washing. Reduce
it if there are sticky whitish streaks on the dishes.
Caution: Do not put liquid detergent into the rinse aid
compartment.
Use of detergent
Before starting any of the dishwashing programmes,
except for the rinse and hold programme, load the
detergent in the dispenser.
Use only tablets, powder or liquid detergents
specifically designed for domestic dishwashers.
Unsuitable detergents (such as those for washing by
hand) do not contain the right ingredients for machine
washing and hamper correct functioning of the
machine.
To open the dispenser lid, pull the catch (D). This will
open it.
To help you to correctly dose
the right amount of deter-
gent, inside the container
there are two reference
marks:
- MIN = 15 ml
- MAX = 30 ml
The amount of detergent to be used varies depending
on how soiled the dishes are and the type of dishes
being washed. We recommend the amounts shown in
the programme chart on the next pages.
After filling the dispenser with detergent, close
the lid.
All the programmes with
prewash require a small
extra amount of detergent
to be poured over the lid of
the dispenser, as shown on
the picture.
At the end of any washing programme the lid is
always open, ready for the next wash.
Since not all detergents are the same, you should
also consult the instructions on the packet.
Remember that insufficient quantities of detergent will
produce poor washing results whereas an excessive
amount of detergent does not improve washing
results and is also wasteful.
Using no more than the correct amount of detergent
also contributes to reducing pollution.
Phosphate free detergents with enzymes
These new detergents, although welcome from an eco-
logical point of view, react far more susceptibly to water
hardness than conventional products. Therefore, in
order to avoid white lime deposits on crockery and the
inner tub, you should add salt in the water softener even
if the hardness of your water is as low as 4 °dH (7 °TH),
when using these new detergents.

Loading your machine
Before placing dishes in the machine, remove any
scraps of food from the plates to avoid clogging the
filters and consequently reducing performance.
Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the
dishes.
Use of the lower basket
The lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids,
plates (up to 27 cm in diameter), salad bowls, cutlery
etc.
Serving dishes and large lids should be arranged
around the edge of the basket, ensuring that the up-
per spray arm can turn freely.
Cutlery should be placed in the removable cutlery
basket with the handles facing downwards. If the
handles protrude from the bottom of the basket,
obstructing the lower spray arm, load the cutlery with
the handles facing upward.
Mix spoons with the other cutlery to prevent them
sticking together.
Use of the upper basket
The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert
plates, saucers, dinner plates up to 20 cm in diameter),
salad bowls, cups and glasses; these should be
arranged as shown in the pictures. Glasses with
long stems can be placed upside-down in the raised
cup-racks.
Caution
When loading the dishes,
ensure that you do not
cover the water inlet
funnel in the middle of the
upper basket.

Adjusting the height of the upper basket
If washing very large plates (over 27 cm and up to 31
cm in diameter) you can load them in the lower
basket after moving the upper basket to the higher
position as follows:
Move the front runner stops
(A) of the upper basket
outward and slide the
basket out.
Refit the basket in the
higher position and replace
the stops (A) in their original
position.
When the top basket is in the higher position it will on-
ly take plates up to 15 cm in diameter and you will not
be able to use the raised cup racks.
For best washing results:
Before loading, remove all scraps of food and soak
very heavily soiled pots and pans.
Always arrange saucepans, cups and glasses etc. up
side-down.
Tilt items with convex or concave surfaces so that the
water drains off easily.
Long items of cutlery such as ladles, carving knives
etc. should be positioned horizontally in the upper
basket.
Avoid contact between the dishes as far as possible;
correct arrangement of the items will give better
washing results.
Light items (plastic bowls etc.) should be loaded in the
upper basket and arranged so that they do not move
during washing.
You will improve drying results by leaving the dish-
washer door ajar for at least 15-30 minutes as soon
as the programme finishes.
To save energy
Do not prewash dishes under running water.
Place dishes in the machine immediately after every
meal and wait until the dishwasher is full before wash-
ing.
If necessary run the Rinse and Hold programme (see
«Washing programmes» chart on the following
pages), so that any food scraps do not become caked
on the dishes while you are waiting to run the com-
plete wash programme.
Care must be taken when opening the door, as
steam will escape.
Items not suitable for dishwashers
The following should not be washed in the dish-
washer:
Cutlery or dishes with wooden or horn handles or
glued parts.
Handmade items, wooden objects, antiques or hand-
painted china.
Certain types of decoration can discolour when
washed in a dishwasher.
Crystal-ware and plastic objects, if not guaranteed
dishwasher-proof, should be washed by hand. You
are advised to place them in the upper basket and to
select a delicate programme.
Certain types of glass can also become opaque after
being washed several times in a dishwasher.
Silver cutlery tends to go black if mixed with steel cut-
lery. Place it in the cutlery basket separated from the
others.
Iron and cast iron objects can rust and stain other
items.
Aluminium tends to go black; copper, pewter and
brass tend to stain.
Caution: You are advised not to load very small or
plastic items which can fall through the baskets.
Note: When buying new dishes, ensure that they are
dishwasher-proof.

(Once a month)
Clean the large filter (A) on both sides under running
water, using a brush.
To take it out, remove the spray arm by pressing the
two tongues (E), turn the ring (F) anticlockwise
(towards the left) and then slide the whole part out.
Refit the filter following the above instructions in
reverse order.
Caution: the dishwasher must not be used
without filters.
Incorrect repositioning of the filters will produce
poor washing results.
Cleaning of the filters is vital to ensure correct
operation of the machine.
Internal and external cleaning
You must ensure that the seals around the door, the
detergent and rinse aid dispensers are cleaned
regularly with a damp cloth.
We recommend you carryout a maintenance wash
every 3 months, by running a 65° C wash programme
without dishes or using a specific dishwasher cleaner.
Check that the spray arm nozzles are not obstructed.
To remove the bottom spray arm, release it from its
securing catches and pull it out.
To clean the nozzles of the top spray arm, slide out
the top basket whereby the spray arm will become
accessible. To remove it, withdraw the central funnel
by pressing the two side tabs and unscrewing the
retaining ring.
Wash the spray arms under running water and refit
them in place.
Clean the external surfaces of the machine and
control panel with a soft damp cloth. If necessary use
only neutral detergents. Never use abrasive products,
scouring pads or solvents (acetone, trichloroethylene
etc...).
Prolonged periods of non-operation
If you are not using the machine for any period of time
you are advised to:
unplug the appliance and turn off the water;
fill the rinse aid dispenser;
leave the door ajar to prevent the formation of
unpleasant smells;
leave the inside of the machine clean.
Frost precautions
Avoid placing the machine in a location where the
temperature is below 0°C.
If this is unavoidable, empty the machine, close the
water inlet tap, disconnect the water inlet pipe and
empty it.
Moving the machine
If you have to move the machine (you are moving
house etc...):
unplug it;
turn off the water tap;
remove the water inlet and discharge hoses;
pull the machine out together with the hoses.
Caution: avoid over tilting the machine during
transport.
