Water connectionIMPORTANT The appliance must be connected tothe water mains using new hose-sets.The old hose-sets should not be reused. ■ 
The inlet and drain hoses can be directed to left or right. IMPORTANT The dishwasher can be connected toeither cold or hot water, as long as itis no hotter than 60 °C. ■ Water pressure must be between 0,08 MPa and 0,8 MPa. If the pressure isbelow the minimum consult our servicedepartment for advice. ■ The inlet hose must be connected to a tap so that the water supply can be cutoff when the machine is not in use(fig. 1 B). ■ The dishwasher is fitted with 3/4 threaded connector  
(fig. 2)
.  
■ Connect inlet hose 
“A”
to water tap 
“B” 
with a 3/4 attachment making sure thatit has been properly tightened. ■ 
If it is necessary, the inlet pipe can be lengthened up to 2,5 m. The extensionpipe is available from the After SalesService Centre. ■ If limescale deposits or sand are present in the water, it is advisable to obtain theappropriate filter, art. 9226085, from theAfter Sales Service Centre  
(fig. 3)
. The 
filter  
“D”
must be inserted between the tap

Connecting the outlet hose■ The outlet hose should disharge into a standpipe, making sure that there are nokinks  
(fig. 4)
. 
■ The standpipe must be at least 40 cm above floor level and it must have aninternal diameter of at least 4 cm. ■ It is advisable to fit an anti-odour air trap (fig. 4X) 
. 
■ If necessary the outlet hose can be extended up to 2,5 m, provided that it iskept at a maximum height of 85 cmabove floor level. The extension pipe isavailable from the After Sales ServiceCentre. 
■ The hose can be hooked over the side of the sink, but it must not be immersed inwater, in order to prevent water frombeing syphoned back to the machinewhen this is in operation  
(fig. 4Y)
.

5INSTALLATION IN FITTEDKITCHENSFitting between existing cabinets■ The height of the dishwasher, 85 cm, has been designed in order to allow themachine to be f 
itted between existing 
cabinets of the same height in modernfitted kitchens. The feet can be adjustedso that correct height is reached. ■ 
The laminated top of the machine does not require any particular care since it isheatproof, scratchproof and stainproof(fig. 5) 
. 
Opening the doorPut your hand into the recess and pull.  If the machine comes open while it is working,an electrical safety device automaticallyswitches everything off.  IMPORTANT For the machine to work properly,the door should not be opened whileit is in operation.
Closing the doorPlace the baskets in the machine. Make sure that both the spray arms arefree to rotate and are not obstructed bycutlery, crockery or pans. Close the door,pressing on it to make sure it is firmly shut.Underneath existing work top(when fitting beneath a work top) ■ 
In most modern fitted kitchens there is only one single work top under whichcabinets and electrical appliances arefitted. In this case remove the work topof the dishwasher by unscrewing thescrews under the rear edge of the top(fig. 6a) 
. 
IMPORTANT After removing the work top, thescrews MUST BE screwed againunder the rear edge of the top(fig. 6b). ■ The height will then be reduced to 82 cm, as scheduled by the InternationalRegulations (ISO) and the dishwasherwill fit perfectly under the kitchenworking top  
(fig. 7)

LOADING THE SALT■ On the bottom of the machine there is a container for the salt for regeneratingthe softener. ■ It is important to use only a salt that is specifically designed for dishwasher.Other types of salt contain small quantitiesof insoluble particles which over a longperiod of time may affect and deterioratethe softener performance.  ■ To add salt, unscrew the cap of the con- tainer on the bottom and then refill thecontainer.  ■ During this operation a little water will overflow; but keep adding salt until thecontainer is  
full. When the container is 
full, clean the thread of salt residue andretighten the tap. ■ After loading the salt, it is recommended running a complete washing cycle,or COLD RINSE programme. The saltdispenser has a capacity of between 1.5and 1.8 kg and, for efficient use of theappliance, it  
should be refilled from time 
to time according to the regulation of thewater softener unit.
IMPORTANT(Only for first start up)When the appliance is used for thefirst time, after completely filling thesalt container, it is necessary to addwater until the container overflows.Salt loading indicatorThis model is provided with an  
indicator light 
on the control panel which will light upwhen it is necessary to reload the saltcontainer. IMPORTANT  The appearance of white stains ondishes is generally an importantsign that the salt container needsfilling.
* The water softener unit is set in thefactory at level 3, as this is suitable forthe majority of users. According to the degree of hardness of your water, regulate the softener unit in thefollowing way: IMPORTANT The dishwasher must be ALWAYSoff before start this procedure. 1. When the dishwasher is off, OPEN the door. 2. Hold down the 
FIRST
and the

LOADING THE DETERGENT The detergentIMPORTANT It is essential to use a detergentthat is specifically designed fordishwashers either in powder, liquidor tablet form. “FINISH” gives very good results and can be easily obtained. Unsuitable detergents (like those for washing up by hand) do not contain theproper ingredients for use in a dishwasher,and stop the dishwasher from workingcorrectly.Filling the detergent containerThe detergent container is inside the door(fig. A “2”) 
. If the lid of the container is 
closed, press the button 
(A)
to open.  
At the end of every wash cycle the lid isalways open and ready for the next timethe dishwasher is used.
WARNING!
When loading the lower basket, pleaseensure that the plates or others do notobstruct the detergent dispenser.The amount of detergent to be used variesaccording to how dirty the  
dishes 
are and 
on the type of dishes to be washed.We advise using 20÷30 g of detergent in thewash section of detergent compartment  
(B)
. 
After pouring the detergent into the container, close the lid, firstly pushing  
(1)
and then 
pressing on it  
(2) 
until you hear the click. 
Since not all detergents are the same the instructions on the boxes of detergent canvary. We should just like to remind usersthat too little detergent does not clean thedishes properly whilst too much detergentwill not produce better results and is also awaste.  IMPORTANT Do not use an excessive amount ofdetergent and help limit damage tothe environment at the same time.
A
B
TYPES OF DETERGENTDetergent tabletsDetergent tablets of different manufacturers dissolve at different speeds, for thisreason, during short programmes, somedetergent tablets may be not fully effective,because they are not completely dissolved.If these products are used, is recommendedto choose longer programmes to guaranteethe complete use of the detergent.  IMPORTANT To get satisfactory washing results,the tablets MUST be placed in thewash section of the detergentcontainer and NOT directly in thetub.Concentrated detergentsThe concentrated detergents, with reducedalkalinity and with natural enzymes, inconjunction with 50°C wash programmes,have a smaller impact on the environmentand they protect the dishes and thedishwasher. The 50°C wash programmes purposelyexploit the dirt-dissolving properties of theenzymes, allowing therefore, with the useof the concentrated detergents, to achievethe same results of the 65°C programmesbut at a lower temperature.   Combined detergentsThe detergents that also contain the rinseaid must be placed in the wash section ofthe detergent container. The rinse aidcontainer must be empty (if it is not empty,set the rinse aid regulator to lowest positionbefore using combined detergents).ALL in 1 combined detergentsIf you are planning to use “ALL in 1” (“3 in 1 “/ “4 in 1”/ “5 in 1”, etc.) combined detergents 
i.e. 
those with built in salt and/or rinse agent,we would advise the following: ■ read carefully and follow the manufacturer’s instructions given on the packaging; 
■ the effectiveness of detergents containing the built in water softener/salt dependson the hardness of your water supply.Check that the hardness of your watersupply is within the effective range givenon the detergent packaging.  If when using this type of product, you dont get satisfactory washing results,please contact the detergentmanufacturer. In certain circumstances use of combined detergents can cause: ■ limescale deposits on dishes or in the dishwasher; ■ a reduction in washing and drying performance.IMPORTANTAny problems which arise as a directresult of the use of these productsare not covered by our warranty. Please note that using the ALL in 1 combined detergents, the rinse aid andsalt indicator lights (only used onselected models) are  
superfluous, so you 
must ignore the lights. If washing and/or drying problems occur, we recommend you return to use traditionalseparate products (salt, detergent andrinse agent). This will ensure that the watersoftener in the dishwasher operatescorrectly. In this case, we recommends that you:■ refill both the salt and rinse aid container; ■ run one normal washing cycle without a load. Please note that on return to the use of conventional salt, a number of cycles willbe required before the system becomesfully efficient again.

CLEANING THE FILTERSThe filter system
(fig.A “4”) 
consists of:  
a central  
container
that traps the larger 
particles; a  flat gauze
that continuously filters the 
wash water; a  micro filter
, located beneath the gauze, 
that traps the tiniest particles ensuring aperfect rinse. ■ 
To achieve excellent results every time, the filters should be checked andcleaned after each wash.  
■ 
To remove the filter unit, simply turn the handle anticlockwise  
(fig. 1)
. 
■ 
For ease of cleaning, the central container is removable  
(fig. 2)
. 
■ 
Remove the gauze filter 
(fig.3)
and 
wash the whole unit under a jet ofwater. If necessary a small brush canbe used. 
■ 
With the 
Self-cleaning Micro filter
, 
maintenance is reduced and the filterunit need only be checked every twoweeks. Nevertheless, after each wash itis advisable to check that the centralcontainer and the gauze filter are notclogged. 
WARNING! 
After cleaning the filters, make surethat they are correctly reassembledand that the gauze filter is properlypositioned at the bottom of thedishwasher. Make sure that the filter is screwed back, clockwise, into the gauze, aspoor seating of the filter unit couldhave an adverse effect on theefficiency of the appliance. IMPORTANT Never use the dishwasher withoutthe filters.
LOADING THE RINSE AIDThe rinse aidThe rinse aid, which is automatically released during the last rinsing cycle, helpsthe dishes to dry quickly and preventsspots and stains forming.Filling the rinse aid containerThe rinse aid container can be found to theleft of the detergent container  
(fig. A 3)
. 
To open the lid, push the reference markand, in the same time, pull the tab ofopening.It is always advisable to use rinse aid thatis specifically designed for dishwasher.Check the rinse aid level through theindicator eye  
(C)
which is located on the 
dispenser.Regulating the rinse aid from 1 to 6The regulator  
(D)
is placed under the lid 
and can be turned using a coin. The recommended pos 
ition is 
4. 
The limestone content of the waterconsiderably affects the formation oflimescale and the drying performance.It is therefore important to regulate thequantity of rinse aid to achieve goodwashing results.If, after the wash, streaks occur on thedishes, decrease  
the amount by one 
position. If whitish spots occur, increase theamount by one position.
