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 its 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.).

Installation instructions
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.
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

User instructions
AUTOMATIC DOOR OPENING ­ DRY ASSIST The program ends with a drying cycle that consists of a time during which the door is closed, and a time during which the door is slightly open (just waiting, to assist drying). The duration depends on the program and model. Any intervention (opening / closing the door, switching off etc.) during this stage will end the program early. The program can be interrupted during the drying cycle and the dishwasher can unloaded before the cycle has completely ended, which is indicated by a visual and/or audible alarm (depending on the model), but best drying results may not be obtained. The complete program ends only when indicated by a visual and/or audible signal (depending on the model). There must be sufficient space available for the door to open. The door must not be forced open and closed before the wash cycle has ended completely.
DELAY Press the DELAY button to set the dishwasher cycle to start during the required time period (e.g. night). According to the model, this may be indicated on the display or by specific lights. The option cannot be selected once the cycle is running. To cancel the setting, press the button several times until the lights switch off.

“CHILD LOCK” OPTION By pressing the indicated buttons (3) at the same time, the controls are locked, which is confirmed by the flashing ON/OFF (1) warning light. This option stays active (and the warning light keeps flashing) until the buttons (3) are pressed again.
TO SAVE ON ENERGY! … AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT Always use the dishwasher with a full load. Load the dishwasher as indicated in the instructions manual. If the
dishwasher is loaded incorrectly, it may lead to poor results as well as waste water, energy and detergent. Do not wash dishes under running water before placing them in the dishwasher. It would just waste water and energy. Use the washing program that is most appropriate for each type of load. If available, connect the dishwasher to a hot water supply up to 60°C. If the manufacturer’s instructions and recommendations are followed, washing the same number of similarly soiled dishes in a dishwasher consumes less water and energy than if they were washed by hand.

User instructions
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 detergent directly onto 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 running of the program. ENERGY MANAGEMENT After 5 minutes (washing cycle completed, stopped or set but not started) the dishwasher switches off. 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 it for use by loading the rinse aid and detergent into the appropriate containers. 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.
ADDING RINSE AID 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 dispenser by pressing and lifting the tab on the cover. Fill the dispenser with rinse aid. Top up again when the rinse aid
indicator light turns on. Close the cover, a click indicates when it is closed. Use a cloth to remove any spillage of rinse aid which might lead to
the formation of excess foam.

User instructions
ADDING DETERGENT To open the detergent dispenser cover, lightly press button P. Add the detergent or tablet and close the cover by sliding it until it stops, indicated by a click. The dispenser will open automatically during the wash cycle. Only add the detergent (also in tablet form) if the dispenser is dry
When a program with hot prewash is selected (see program table), extra detergent must be placed in the cavity on the lid of the detergent dispenser.
Use only detergents specially formulated for dishwashers. 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 for washing dishes by hand because they may 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.
21

User instructions
The introduction of detergent into the rinse aid dispenser, even in liquid form, will damage the dishwasher. 4.2 General warnings and recommendations Before using the dishwasher for the first time, it is advisable to read the following recommendations concerning dish types to be washed and their loading. There are generally no constraints on the washing of domestic dishes, but in certain cases it is necessary to take their characteristics into account. Before loading the dishes into the baskets it is necessary to: remove coarse food remains: e.g. bones, fish-bones, etc. which may
clog the filter or damage the wash pump. soak any pots or pans with burnt-on food remains on the bottom to
facilitate removal, then load them into the LOWER BASKET. There is no need to pre-wash the dishes under running water before loading them into the baskets since this only wastes water. Correct loading of the dishes helps ensure optimal washing results.
22

User instructions
WARNING! Make sure that the dishes are securely in place so that they cannot
tip over or obstruct the rotation of the spray arms during the washing cycle. Do not place very small objects in the baskets as these could fall and obstruct the spray arms or the wash pump. Containers such as cups, bowls, glasses and pots should always be loaded with the opening facing downwards and with any cavities at an angle, to allow the water to drain out. Do not stack dishes or place them in such a way that they cover one other. Do not place glasses too close together because they may knock against each other and break, or there might be staining at the point where they touch. MAKE SURE that the items being washed are dishwasher-safe. Items which are not dishwasher-safe: Wooden dishes, pots or pans: these may be damaged by the high washing temperatures. Handcrafted items: these are rarely suitable for washing in a dishwasher. The relatively high water temperatures and the detergents used may damage them. Plastic dishes: heat resistant plastic dishes must be washed in the upper basket. Dishes and objects in copper, tin, zinc or brass: these tend to stain. Aluminium dishes: items made from anodised aluminium may lose their colour. Silverware: silver items may stain. Glass and crystal: in general, glass and crystal objects can be washed in the dishwasher. However, certain types of glass and crystal may become dull and lose their clearness after many washes. Therefore, for these items we recommend using the least aggressive program available. Decorated items: the decorated objects available on the market are generally able to withstand washing in the dishwasher, although the colours may fade after a great many washes. If in doubt as to the fastness of the colours, it is advisable to wash just a few items at a time for approximately one month.

4.3 Using the baskets
The dishwasher has a capacity of 14 place-settings.
LOWER BASKET The lower basket receives the full force of the lower spray arm, and should therefore be used for the “toughest” items with a heavier degree of soiling.
All types and combinations of loads are permitted, provided that the dishes, pots and pans are arranged with all the soiled surfaces exposed to the water jets coming from the bottom.

To make the most of the space inside the basket when loading large items, certain models are equipped with fold down supports for plates in 2 or 4 sections.

CUTLERY BASKET The basket is suitable for all types of cutlery, except long items that may interfere with the upper spray arm. The cutlery should be arranged in the spaces in the upper racks to allow the water to pass effectively between the items. Forks and spoons should be positioned with the handle facing downwards, taking care not to injure yourself with the prongs of the forks. Knives should be placed in the tray on the upper rack or in the cutlery drawer, if present (depending on the model), otherwise position them with the handles facing upwards. Ladles, wooden spoons and kitchen knives can be placed on the upper rack, making sure that the blades of the knives do not protrude from the basket. The upper racks can be opened in order to insert, for example, small items.
The cutlery basket slides across the dishwasher and can be placed in any position to allow optimal use of the space in the bottom basket.

5. Cleaning and maintenance
Before carrying out any work, always unplug the appliance from the electrical supply or switch off the all-pole disconnection device.
5.1 General warnings and recommendations Avoid the use of acidic or abrasive detergents. Clean the outer surfaces and door-lining of the dishwasher regularly using a soft cloth moistened with water or with a normal detergent suitable for painted surfaces. Clean the door gaskets with a damp sponge. Periodically (once or twice a year) it is advisable to clean the tank and gaskets, using a soft cloth and water to remove any deposits. CLEANING THE WATER INTAKE FILTER The water intake filter A located at the outlet of the water supply tap needs to be cleaned periodically. After having closed the water supply tap, unscrew the end of the water intake hose, remove the filter A and clean it delicately under running water. Reassemble filter A in its seat and carefully screw the water intake hose back into position. CLEANING THE SPRAY ARMS The spray arms can be easily removed for periodic cleaning of the nozzles, to prevent possible clogging. Wash them under running water and carefully replace them in their seats, checking that their rotary movement is in no way impeded. To remove the upper spray arm, unscrew locking ring R.

GENERAL WARNINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CORRECT MAINTENANCE: The filters should be cleaned under running water using a stiff
brush. When removing the filter, take care that there are no food residues
on it. If any residues fall into the washing pit they might block hydraulic components, or block the spray arm nozzles. It is essential to thoroughly clean the filters according to the above instructions: the dishwasher cannot function if the filters are clogged. Carefully replace the filters in their seats, to avoid damaging the wash pump. PROLONGED DISUSE: Run the soak program twice in succession. Unplug the power cord from the socket. Leave the door slightly open, in order to prevent the formation of unpleasant odours inside the washing tank. Fill the rinse aid dispenser. Shut off the water supply tap.
33

User instructions
BEFORE STARTING THE DISHWASHER AFTER PROLONGED DISUSE: Check that there are no deposits of sludge or rust inside the water
pipe: if there are, allow the water to run from the water supply tap for a few minutes. Plug the power cord back into the socket. Reconnect the water intake hose and open the tap again. TROUBLESHOOTING MINOR PROBLEMS In some cases it is possible to remedy minor problems by referring to the following instructions: If the program fails to start, check that: the dishwasher is connected to the electrical power supply; there is no power failure; the water tap is open; the dishwasher door is properly closed. If water remains inside the dishwasher, check that: the drain hose is not kinked; the drain siphon is not obstructed; the dishwasher filters are not clogged. If the dishes are not being cleaned properly, check that: the correct amount of detergent has been added; the dishes are being loaded correctly; the selected program is suitable for the dish types and their degree of soiling; all the filters are clean and positioned correctly; the spray arm nozzles are not obstructed; there is no object obstructing the rotation of the spray arms.
34

User instructions
If the dishes fail to dry or remain dull, check that: there is rinse aid inside the rinse aid container; the rinse aid dispenser setting is correct; the detergent used is of good quality and has not lost its effectiveness
(for example, through incorrect storage, with the box left open). Non-dry synthetic dishes.
Synthetic material has a lower heat storage capacity and is therefore harder to dry. If the dishes show signs of streaking, staining, etc., check that: the rinse aid dispenser setting is not too high. If there are visible traces of rust inside the tank: the tank is made of steel, and therefore any rust marks are due to external elements (fragments of rust from the water pipes, pots, cutlery, etc.). Special products are commercially available to remove such marks; check that the amount of detergent being used is correct. Certain detergents can be more corrosive than others.
