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.
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.
8
Installation instructions
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

3.3 Washing programs The dishwasher is equipped with a control panel and an INFORMATION DISPLAY from which it is possible to carry out all the power switch-on, switch-off and programming operations. Before starting a washing program make sure that: The water supply tap is open. 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 5 minutes after the start. This is the normal operation of the washing cycle.
LIGHTING Pressing the ON/OFF button will start the dishwasher and will lit up the dishwasher pilot light. After approximately 3 second from this operation the DISPLAY will be turned on with a visualization that will depend upon the state of the dishwasher. PROGRAMMING All the programming operations are possible only with closed door. With open door, on the DISPLAY will appear - - : - -.

for some seconds until the symbol START/PAUSE
start to flash and confirmation "beep" is heard. From this moment the cycle
duration on the DISPLAY starts to decrease.
This phase, that updates itself during the cycle, is "indicative" since it is
influenced by the washing conditions such as dishwasher type and
quantity, entry temperature etc. For this reason it is normal to see the
updating during a program (increment and decrease of minutes) specially
in the passage from one phase to the other (for example, from washing to
rinse).
Program progress is indicated by the program phases that show the status of the current cycle.
The current phase flashes, while the next washing phases lights stay on. At the end of each phase, the signal will turn off.
N.B.: when a program which does not need the prewash phase is selected, the prewash signal stays off.

OPTIONS
The selection of options is controlled by the relative buttons and indicated by the warning light below the symbol. Please read the paragraphs relating to each option for their usage details. QUICK TIME PROGRAMS
Select this option together with any washing program (except the soak
program) to SHORTEN the cycle by from a minimum of 10% to a maximum of 55%, depending on the cycle selected. To activate this
option, press the QUICK OPTION button
(light comes on) after
selecting the program required. The option is automatically deactivated at
the end of the program.
ENERSAVE This option further reduces energy consumption by opening the door at the end of the cycle for more effective drying. At the end of the wash an automatic device releases the door, which slowly opens by a few centimetres. This allows optimal drying even with low rinsing temperatures, for significant energy saving. The dishwasher remains in an idle state between the rinse stage and the end of the cycle to allow proper drying (the display shows the time left until the end of the cycle). Opening the door at this stage causes the cycle to stop and ends the program. The program end is signalled by a short beep and the flashing of the indicator lights for programs 4 and 5. When the function is activated, opening of the door must not be impeded in any way; do not leave anything in the necessary space in front of the door to allow it to open. Do not force the door lock before the end of the cycle is signalled, as this would damage the mechanism.
When the function is activated, opening of the door must not be impeded in any way; do not leave anything in the space in front of the door necessary to allow it to open.

Flexi Tabs Ideal for multi-function detergents, this option allows washing to be optimised, with full benefits from the combined-action tablets. When this option is activated, any salt and rinse aid in the relative containers will not be used. 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. 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). 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.
"CHILD LOCK" OPTION By pressing the indicated buttons (3) at the same time, the controls are locked, which is confirmed when the warning light on display turns on. This option stays active until the buttons (3) are pressed again.

User instructions
TO SAVE ON ENERGY! ... AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT Always try to run the dishwasher fully loaded. 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.
ENERGY MANAGEMENT At the end of the program, afterwards 5 minutes, the washing machine switches off automatically in order to reduce standby power consumption. In order to switch it on again, it is necessary to press the ON/OFF button. 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 for use as follows:
Adjust the water softening system (on some models only); Add the regenerating salt (on some models only); Add the rinse aid and detergent.
4.1 Using the water softening system (on some models only)
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.
SALT
When using water of medium hardness, the regenerating salt container should be refilled after approximately 20 washing cycles. The salt container can hold approximately 1.7 Kg of salt in grains. 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.
21
User instructions
Do not use table salt as it contains insoluble substances which, over time, may damage the water softening system.
When necessary, refill the regenerating salt container before starting the washing program. In this way, the excess saline solution will be immediately removed by the water; the prolonged presence of salt water inside the tank may lead to corrosion.
Be careful not to confuse the salt and detergent packages; adding detergent to the salt container will damage the water softening system.
WATER SOFTENER SETTING (available in all programs except the soak program) The setting can be adjusted using the PROGRAM DELAY BUTTON.
To access the programming environment, the appliance must be turned on with the door closed. Then proceed as follows:
press the PROGRAM DELAY button
until the H symbol appears
on the display, followed by the number currently set (e.g. H3)
press the PROGRAM DELAY
button the number of times
needed to select the right setting level for the hardness of the water
(H0, H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H5);
After carrying out the adjustment or displaying the current setting, if you do not touch the button for a few seconds the dishwasher will automatically exit from adjustment mode and return to the standard operating mode.

26
User instructions
When a program with hot prewash is selected (see program table), extra detergent must be placed in the cavity G/H (depending on models).
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.
For the safeguarding of the environment we recommend the use of phosphate- and chlorine free detergents.
The introduction of detergent into the rinse aid dispenser, even in liquid form, will damage the dishwasher.
4.3 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. 27
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 washings. 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.

4.4 Using the baskets The dishwasher has a capacity of 15 place-settings, including serving dishes. 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.
Depending on the models, the basket may be equipped with some or all of the following accessories: Plate racks, which can be laid flat when not in use (e.g. to accommodate pans, bowls, etc.). To stow the racks flat, pull them upward and turn them towards the inside of the basket.
Anti-drip inserts which improve the drying of dishes. They may be supplied fitted on the basket or in the accessories bag; in this case, to use them, simply fit them into place as shown.

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.

User instructions
TOP CUTLERY BASKET (on some models only) The basket is designed to take cutlery, placed in the spaces provided, and long utensils, positioned lengthwise. The "drawer" extraction system makes the basket easier to load, but it can also be taken completely off its runners by removing the retainers (as shown here). Take great care to replace the retainers to ensure that the basket does not come off the runners accidentally.

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. To remove the orbital spray arm assembly, take hold of the longer
arm and pull the orbital unit upward. Wash the arms under a jet of running water and return them carefully to their seat. After reassembly, check that the spray arms turn freely. Otherwise, check that they have been installed correctly.

CLEANING THE FILTER UNIT It is advisable to periodically inspect the centre filter C and, if
necessary, to clean it. To remove the filter, grip the tabs, turn them anticlockwise and lift upwards; push the centre filter D from the underside to remove it from the microfilter: separate the two parts which make up the plastic filter by pressing the body of the filter in the zone shown by the arrows; remove the centre filter by lifting it upwards.
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 foul 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.

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; there is regenerating salt inside the special container; 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.

User instructions
If the dishes fail to dry or remain dull, check that: there is rinse aid inside the special 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. check that the cap of the salt container is securely closed, and that the water softening setting is correct.
