Salt …
Salt
Water hardness varies according to where you live. If hard
water were to enter your dishwasher, scaly incrustations
would form on your dishes.
Thanks to a water softener which uses special dishwasher
salt, the limescale in the water is eliminated.
Loading salt into the water softener
Always use salt which is intended for dishwasher use.
The salt container is situ-
ated underneath the lower
rack and should be filled up
as follows:
1. Pull out the lower rack
completely, unscrew and
remove the container cap.
2. If it is the first time you
load the salt container, fill
it up with water.
3. Put the funnel provided
on the hole and pour in
approximately two kilos of
salt. It is normal if some water comes out of the container.
4. Screw the cap back in place carefully.
The salt container should be filled up when the "low
salt" indicator light on the control panel comes on.
Warning: To prevent rust from forming, load the salt just
before beginning a wash cycle.
Adjusting the salt consumption
Your dishwasher can adjust its
salt consumption according to
the hardness of the water used
in order to optimise and
customise the dishwasher's salt
consumption to the minimum
level necessary.
You can find out what the level
of water hardness in your area
is from the company that sup-
plies the water there.
To make the adjustment, follow
the instructions below:
1. unscrew the salt container cap
2. there is an arrow on the neck of the container (see figure
on the right); if necessary, turn the arrow anti-clockwise from
the "-" setting to the "+" setting according to the hardness
of the water supplied.
We recommend you make the adjustment according to the
following table:

Detergent and rinse aid ….
The detergent
Only use specific dishwasher detergents. The detergent dis-
penser must be filled before each wash cycle begins accord-
ing to the instructions given in the "Wash cycle table". The
detergent dispenser is situated on the inside of the appli-
ance door.
Loading the detergent
To open lid "A", press button "B". The detergent should be
poured into the two containers "C" and "D" up to the rim.
After pouring in the detergent, replace the lid, pressing down
until it clicks.
Dishwasher detergent in tabs is now available on the mar-
ket, in which case you should place one tab into container
"D" and replace the lid.
If you use powder or liquid detergent, you can also fit the 2
plugs provided in the two special housings in lid "A", before
closing the latter. This way, your dishes will come out cleaner.
Warning: to make sure the lid shuts properly, remove
any detergent residue from the edges of the container
before closing it.
The rinse aid
This product makes dishes sparkle more and it improves their
drying. The rinse aid container is situated on the inside of
the door; you should fill it up on average every 80 wash
cycles (if your dishwasher is provided with the "low rinse
aid" indicator light, then fill it up when the latter comes on).
Loading the rinse aid
To open the dispenser, turn cap "C" anticlockwise and take
care when you pour in the rinse aid to avoid it overflowing.
You can adjust the amount of rinse aid used by the dish-
washer, by using a screwdriver to regulate the dosage ad-
juster "F" you will find under lid "C". There are 6 possible
settings; it is normally set to 4.
Important:
Adjusting the rinse aid supply improves drying.
If drops of water remain on the dishes or spotting occurs,
turn the dosage adjuster to a higher setting. If, on the other
hand, the dishes have white streaks, then turn the dosage
adjuster down to a lower setting.

Before placing the dishes in the racks, remove the largest
scraps of food left over on your plates, you will thus avoid
blocking the filter, which would reduce the efficacy of the
wash.
If the saucepans and frying pans are very dirty, allow them
to soak before being washed.
You will thus avoid having to wash them again.
To make it easier to load your dishes, pull the racks out
fully.
How to use the lower rack
We recommend you place the most difficult dishes to wash
into the lower rack:
pans, lids, dinner plates and soup plates as illustrated in
the figure to the left.
Serving dishes and large lids should preferably be placed
on the sides of the rack, without for that matter obstruct-
ing the rotation of the top sprayer arm.
- pans, salad bowls etc. must always be placed upside down
- very deep dishes should be placed obliquely, thus allow-
ing water to run down them freely.
- Place the cutlery with the handles at the bottom; if the
basket is the one with side inserts, then insert the tea spoons
one by one into the slots provided (see fig. A).
Longer utensils should be placed horizontally at the front
of the upper rack.
How to use the upper rack
The upper rack is designed to contain delicate and light-
weight items such as glasses, tea and coffee cups, saucers,
but also plates, shallow salad bowls, slightly dirty frying
pans and saucepans.
- Position lightweight dishes in such as way as to avoid
their being moved by the spray of water.
How to adjust the upper rack.
The upper rack can be set in a high or low position. To do
so, open the rail stop flaps and pull the rack out com-
pletely; now place it with the back wheels in high or low
position, then slide it along the guide rails until the front
wheels also go in; now close the rail stop flaps. (see figure
F).

How to start the dishwasher
To start a wash cycle…
1. Make sure the appliance is plugged into the power socket
in the wall.
2. Ensure the water tap has been turned on fully.
3. Load the dishes (see chapter entitled "loading the dishes")
4. Pour in the detergent (see chapter entitled "salt, deter-
gent and rinse aid").
5. Turn the knob situated on the right-hand side of the con-
trol panel anticlockwise until the reference notch on the knob
corresponds with the number or symbol for the cycle you
wish to set (have a look at the chapter entitled "Wash cycle
table").
6. Press the ON-OFF button and the respective ON-OFF indi-
cator light will come on. The wash cycle will now begin.
Cancelling or modifying a wash cycle in progress…..
Premise: a wash cycle in progress can only be modified if it
hasn't been running for long. Press the ON-OFF button and
the relative indicator light will come off. Turn the knob clock-
wise to the desired setting (see paragraph entitled "to start
a wash cycle"), then turn the appliance back on by pressing
the ON-OFF button.
Wash cycle modification buttons
"65°C" button
Press this button "E" with wash cycles 1 and 2 and the tem-
perature of the water is increased to 65°C. Use it if you have
to wash saucepans and dishes with dry caked-on food.
We do not recommend you use it for washing delicate items
as the high temperatures reached could make their surfaces
opaque or discolour the decorations.
If you have left out some dishes…
You can interrupt the wash cycle, if it has only just started,
by turning off the appliance (press the ON-OFF button) then
insert the dishes you had left out, taking care not to scald
yourself with the hot steam and then turn the dishwasher
back on. The wash cycle will start up from where it was
interrupted.
At the end of the wash cycle…..
When the knob stops turning and stops
at a STOP notch (see figure), the wash
cycle has finished. Turn the appliance off
by pressing the ON-OFF button, turn off
the water tap and open the door taking
care not to scald yourself with the hot
steam.
Wait a few minutes before removing the dishes: this way
you won't have to handle them while they're still hot and
more sensitive to shock, and they will also dry better.
Warning:
When you open the dishwasher door after the wash cycle
has just ended or is under way, take care not to scald your-
self with hot steam!

Tips to help you save
- It is important that you try to use the dishwasher with a full
load only in order to optimise consumption levels; in the
meantime use the soak cycle to avoid the formation of bad
odours and caked-on food.
- Select the most suitable wash cycle: the choice of wash
cycle depends on the type of dishes to wash and on how
dirty they are.
- Use the right amount of detergent: if you use too much,
you will not get cleaner dishes, but just more environmental
pollution.
- There is no need to rinse the dishes before placing them
inside the dishwasher.
How to keep your dishwasher in shape
After every wash
After every wash, turn off the water tap and leave the dish-
washer door ajar, so that moisture and bad odours are not
trapped inside.
Unplug the appliance
Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance on the dish-
washer, always remove the plug from the electricity socket:
this way you will avoid the risk of any danger.
No solvent or abrasive cleaning products
Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products to clean
the exterior and rubber parts of your appliance. Use a cloth
dampened with lukewarm soapy water only.
To remove any stains from the surface of the appliance inte-
rior, use a cloth dampened with water and a little white
vinegar or a cleaning product specifically made for dishwash-
ers.
If you are off on holiday
When you go on holiday, we recommend you run a cycle
with the dishwasher empty, then unplug it, turn off the wa-
ter inlet tap and leave the dishwasher door ajar: this will
help the seals last longer and prevent unpleasant odours
from forming inside the appliance.
If you are moving home
Should the appliance have to be moved, try to keep it in a
vertical position.; if absolutely necessary, it can be positioned
on its back.
The seals.
One of the factors that cause unpleasant odours to form
inside the dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the
seals. Periodic cleaning using a damp sponge will prevent
this from occurring.

Cleaning and special maintenance
The filter assembly
If you want consistent good results from your dishwasher,
you need to clean the filter assembly.
Thanks to the filter, the food particles are removed from the
wash water, allowing it to be recirculated during the cycle,
filtered perfectly. For this reason, it is a good idea to remove
the larger food particles
trapped inside the cup "C"
and semi-circular filter "A"
after each wash. All you
need to do is rinse them
under running water; to
remove the filter assembly,
pull the cup handle up-
wards. The entire filter as-
sembly, comprising a semi-
circular filter "A" and a
microfilter "B", should be
cleaned thoroughly once a
month.
To clean the filter and the microfilter, use a toothbrush.
Reassemble the two parts as shown in the figures below
and reinsert the whole assembly into the dishwasher, posi-
tioning it into its housing and pressing downwards.
The dishwasher is not to be used without filters. Improper
replacement of the filters may reduce the efficiency of the
wash and even damage your dishwasher.
Cleaning the sprayer arms
Food residue may become encrusted onto the sprayer arms
and block the holes where water comes out; check them on
a regular basis and clean them (see the Close-up View (in-
side) letters F-I).
Is there a problem?
Your dishwasher may not work or not function properly.
Before calling for assistance, let's have a look at what can
be done: you may have forgotten to press a button or for
some reason or another you haven't carried out a proce-
dure necessary for the appliance to operate correctly.
The dishwasher won't start
Have you checked:
whether the appliance is plugged in properly or whether
there is electricity in your home, or whether the dishwasher
door has been shut correctly or whether the ON-OFF button
is on "ON" and whether the tap has been turned on?
The dishwasher won't load any water
Have you checked:
whether the tap has been turned on and is well connected
to the hose or whether there is no water throughout your
home or whether the pressure of the water supply is suffi-
cient, whether the hose is bent or the filter on the water
supply hose is blocked?
The dishes are not clean
Have you checked:
whether the right amount of detergent is in the dispenser,
the wash cycle selected is suitable for the dishes loaded, or
whether the filter and the microfilter are clean and whether
the sprayer arms can turn freely?
The dishwasher won't drain
Have you checked:
whether the drain hose is bent?
Limescale deposits or a white film form on the dishes
Have you checked:
whether the lid on the salt container is closed properly or
whether the amount of rinse aid has been adjusted correctly?
If, despite all these checks, your dishwasher still won't work
and the trouble you are having persists, call your nearest
authorised service centre, mentioning the following infor-
mation:
- the type of malfunction
- the model mark (Mod….) and the serial number (S/N….)
indicated on the rating plate located on the inner door, to
one side.
Never call upon the services of unauthorised techni-
cians and always refuse spare parts that are not origi-
nals.

Installation
Positioning the appliance
Place your dishwasher where you want to install it. The ap-
pliance can even be placed so that its sides or back panel
are side by side with furniture or up against the wall. The
dishwasher is provided with water supply and drain hoses,
which can be directed towards the left or right to facilitate
appropriate installation.
This dishwasher model can be built-in under the one
worktop, and it therefore comes provided with an assembly
kit complete with an instructions sheet.
Levelling
Once the appliance is positioned, adjust the feet by screw-
ing them in or out depending on how high you want it and
level it so that it is horizontal; however it must not be tilted
by more than 2° under any circumstances.
If the appliance is level, this will help ensure its correct op-
eration.
Cold water connection.
Connect the cold water supply hose to a 3/4 gas threaded
connection, taking care to screw it tightly onto the tap (see
figure 1).
If the water hoses are new or have been out of use for an
extended period of time, let the water run to make sure it is
clear and free of impurities before making the connection.
If this precaution is not taken, the water inlet could get
blocked, causing damage to your dishwasher.
Hot water connection
Your dishwasher can be supplied with hot water from the
mains supply (if you have a central heating system with ra-
diators) at a temperature of no more than 60°C.
In this case, the wash cycle time will be about 15 minutes
shorter and the wash will be slightly less effective.
The connection must be made to the hot water supply fol-
lowing the same procedures as those indicated for the cold
water connection.
Anti-flooding protection
Your dishwasher is provided with a system that stops the
supply of water in the event of a problem with the water
supply hose or leaks within the appliance, thus preventing
any damage from being caused to your home. If for any
reason the box (containing the electrical components) hap-
pens to get damaged, unplug the appliance from the elec-
tricity socket immediately. To guarantee that the anti-flood-
ing safety device operates properly, box "A", with the wa-
ter inlet hose, must be attached to the water supply tap
only as shown in the figure.
Under no circumstance
should the water supply
hose be cut as it contains
live electrical parts. If the
length of the hose is not
sufficient for proper con-
nection, replace the hose
with one which is long
enough. This hose is avail-
able upon request from
specialised retailers and
service centres.
Drain hose connection
Fit the drain pipe into a drain
line with a minimum diameter
of 4 cm or place it over the
sink, avoiding restricting or
bending it and using the spe-
cial plastic elbow provided (see
figure to the left). The free end
of the hose should be be-
tween 40 and 100 cm above
the ground and should not be
immersed in water.
Warning: the special plastic elbow should be fastened firmly
onto the wall to prevent the drain hose from moving and
allowing water to spill outside the drain.
Electrical connection
Plug the appliance into a socket provided with an efficient
earth connection (the system's earthing is a guarantee of
safety provided for by law), after having checked that the
mains voltage and frequency values correspond to those
stated on the rating plate located on the stainless steel inner
door of the appliance and that the electrical system to which
the dishwasher is connected is sized for the maximum cur-
rent indicated on said rating plate. If the power socket to
which the appliance is connected is not compatible with the
plug, replace it with a suitable plug rather than using adapt-
ers or multiple plugs as these could cause overheating or
burns.
If the electricity supply wire is damaged, we recommend
you contact authorised Technical Assistance service centres
exclusively for a replacement.
