-. Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for future reference. If the appliance is sold, given away or moved, please ensure the manual is kept with the machine, so that the new owner may benefit from the advice contained within it. Please read this instruction manual carefully: it contains important information regarding the safe installation, use and maintenance of the appliance. If the appliance must be moved at any time, keep it in an upright position; if absolutely necessary, it may be tilted onto its back. ( 1. Remove the appliance from all packaging and check that it has not been damaged during transportation. If it has been damaged, contact the retailer and do not proceed any further with the installation process. 2. Check the dishwasher by placing it so that its sides or back panel are in contact with the adjacent cabinets or even with the wall. This appliance can also be recessed under a single worktop* ( see the Assembly instruction sheet ). 3. Position the dishwasher on a level and sturdy floor. If the floor is uneven, the front feet of the appliance may be adjusted until it reaches a horizontal position. If the appliance is levelled correctly, it will be more stable and much less likely to move or cause vibrations and noise while it is operating. 4. Adjust the height of the rear foot from the front of the appliance* on the central lower part of the dishwasher, turning a hexagonal spanner (red color) with an opening of 8 mm in a clockwise direction to increase the height or in an anticlockwise direction to decrease the height. 2 ! Connection to the water and electricity supplies should only be performed by a qualified technician. The dishwasher should not stand on top of the water hoses or the electricity supply cable. The appliance must be connected to the water supply network using new hoses. Do not use old hoses. The water inlet (A) and outlet (B) hoses and the electricity supply cable may be positioned towards the right or the left in order to achieve the best possible installation ( see figure). 2 • To a suitable cold water connection point: before attaching the hose, run the water until it is perfectly clear so that any impurities that may be present in the water do not clog the appliance; after performing this operation, screw the inlet hose tightly onto a tap with a ¾ gas threaded connection. To a suitable hot water connection point: your dishwasher may be supplied with hot water from the mains supply (if you have a central heating system with radiators) provided that it does not exceed a temperature of 60°C. Screw the hose to the tap as described for connection to a cold water supply. If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialist store or an authorised technician ( see Assistance ). The water pressure must be within the values indicated in the Technical data table ( see adjacent information ). The hose should not be bent or compressed. 0 To ensure floods do not occur, the dishwasher: - is provided with a special system which blocks the water supply in the event of anomalies or leaks from inside the appliance. Some models are also equipped with the supplementary safety device New Acqua Stop*, which guarantees anti- flooding protection even in the event of a supply hose rupture. 0#..34 1050#6 7+03-8 Under no circumstance should the water inlet hose be cut as it contains live electrical parts. * Only available in selected models.
-. 2 Connect the outlet hose (without bending it) to a drain duct with a minimum diameter of 4 cm. Alternatively, rest it over a sink or tub; the free end of the hose should not remain immersed in water. The special plastic elbow* makes it easier to find the best layout: fix the elbow to the wall securely in order to prevent the outlet hose from moving and spilling the dirty water. The part of the hose marked with the letter A should be between 40 and 100 cm above the ground ( see figure). We advise against the use of hose extensions. - Before inserting the plug into the electrical socket, make sure that: The socket is earthed and complies with current regulations. The socket can withstand the maximum load of the appliance, which is indicated on the data plate located on the inside of the door ( see chapter entitled Description of the appliance ). The power supply voltage falls within the values indicated on the data plate on the inside of the door. The socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance. If this is not the case, ask an authorised technician to replace the plug ( see Assistance); do not use extension cables or multiple sockets. Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply cable and the electrical socket should be easily accessible. The cable should not be bent or compressed. If the power supply cable is damaged, it must be re- placed by the manufacturer or its Technical Assistance Service in order to prevent all potential hazards. (See As- sistance) The Company shall not be held responsible for any incidents that occur if these regulations are not observed. 0 9 After installing the dishwasher, open the door and stick the adhesive transparent strip under the wooden shelf in order to protect it from any condensation which may form. 0( 2 ! After the appliance has been installed, immediately before running the first wash cycle, completely fill the salt dispenser with water and add only then approximately 1 kg of salt ( see chapter entitled Rinse aid and refined salt ). The water may overflow: this is normal and is not a cause for concern. Select the water hardness value ( see chapter entitled Rinse aid and refined salt ). - After the salt has been poured into the machine, the LOW SALT indicator light* switches off. If the salt container is not filled, the water softener and the heating element may be damaged as a result. * Only available in selected models. + A Dimensions width 59.5 cm height 82 cm depth 57 cm Capacity 12 standard place-settings Water supply pressure 0,05 ÷ 1MPa (0.5 ÷ 10 bar) 4.3 psi – 145 psi Power supply voltage See appliance data plate Total absorbed power See appliance data plate Fuse See appliance data plate This dishwasher conforms to the following European Community Directives: -73/23/EEC dated 19/02/73 (Low Voltage) and subsequent modifications -89/336/EEC dated 03/05/89 (Electromagnetic Compatibility) and subsequent modifications -97/17/EC (Labelling) -2002/96/ CE ( Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment W EEE)

-. Before loading the racks, remove all food residues from the crockery and empty liquids from glasses and cups. 0 ! % !: 2 The lower rack can hold pans, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery, etc. as seen in the Loading examples. Plates and large covers should be placed at the sides of the rack, ensuring that they do not block the rotation of the upper sprayer arm. Some dishwasher models are fitted with tip-up sections, which can be used in a vertical position when arranging plates or in a horizontal position when arranging pans and salad bowls. ! , The type of cutlery basket may vary according to the dishwasher model: it may be modular, non-modular or a sliding version. The non-modular basket must only onlyonly only only be positioned at the front of the lower rack. The modular basket may be separated into two parts, a solution which is recommended when performing a half load wash (only in models offering this option), is available in a sliding version (positioned at any point on the lower rack by sliding it between the fixed or tip-up inserts. - Both versions are fitted with a collapsible sliding system which means the cutlery can be arranged in the best possible way. Knives and other utensils with sharp edges must be placed in the cutlery basket with the points facing downwards, or they must be positioned horizontally in the tip- up compartments on the upper rack. ! , -?+@: .( 2 !: Open the left and right guide rail stops and pull out the rack; position it higher or lower as required, slide it along the guide rails until the front wheels are in place and close the stops ( see figure). If the rack is fitted with handles* ( see figure), pull out the upper rack until it reaches its stop point, grip the handles at the sides of the rack and move it upwards or downwards, then slowly let it fall back into place.

A good wash result also depends on the correct amount
of detergent being used; exceeding the stated amount
does not result in a more effective wash and increases
environmental pollution.

If you do not add salt or rinse aid, the LOW SALT* and LOW RINSE AID* indicator lights remain lit. ? Rinse aid makes it easier for the crockery to dry, as water runs off surfaces more readily and therefore does not leave streaks or marks. The rinse aid dispenser should be filled: When the LOW RINSE AID* indicator light on the control panel is illuminated; 1. Open the dispenser by turning the lid (G) in an anticlockwise direction. 2. Pour in the rinse aid, making sure it does not overflow from the dispenser. If this happens, clean the spill immediately with a dry cloth. 3. Screw the lid back on. .-7-# ! ,: 0= % If you are not completely satisfied with the drying results, you may adjust the quantity of rinse aid used. Use a screwdriver to turn the dosage adjuster (F) to one of the 6 pre-set positions (the default position is set to 4): If there are streaks on the crockery, set the adjustment device to a lower number (1-3). If drops of water remain on the crockery or if there are limescale marks present after the cycle has finished, set the adjuster to a higher number (4-6). 2 ? In order to achieve the best possible results using a wash cycle, make sure that the dispenser is never empty. Refined salt removes limescale from the water, thus avoiding the formation of deposits on crockery. The salt dispenser is located in the lower part of the dishwasher ( see Description) and should be filled: When the green float* cannot be seen by simply looking at the cap of the salt dispenser. When the LOW SALT* indicator light on the control panel is illuminated; 1. Remove the lower rack and unscrew the cap of the dispenser (in an anti-clockwise direction). 2. For the first wash cycle only: fill the dispenser up to the edges with water. 3. Position the funnel* correctly ( see figure ) and fill the salt dispenser up to the edges (approximately 1 kg); it is normal for a little water to leak out. 4. Remove the funnel, wipe away any salt residue from the opening and screw the cap on tightly, so that detergent does not leak into the dispenser during the wash cycle (this could damage the water softening system beyond repair). When necessary, measure out the salt before a wash cycle so that any saline solution which has leaked out of the salt dispenser is removed. G F The appliance is equipped with a water softener which, by using refined salt designed especially for dishwashers, supplies water without limescale which is then used to wash the crockery. It is possible to adjust the amount of salt used according to the hardness of the water in your area (this information is available from your local water board). - Open the door and switch on the machine by pressing the ON/OFF button. - Press the P button and hold for approximately 5 seconds; two short beeps will sound and the indicator light corresponding to the set degree of hardness will flash slowly on the control panel (the water softening system is set to number 3). - Press the P button repeatedly until the desired hardness level has been reached (1-2-3-4-5* see Water hardness table ).E.g. hardness 1 (indicator light 1 illuminated) hardness 2 (indicator light 1 illuminated, indicator light 2 flashing) hardness 3 (indicator lights 1 and 2 illuminated, indicator light 3 flashing and so on). - To exit the function, wait approximately 30 seconds or switch off the machine using the ON/OFF button. Even if using multi-functional tablets, the salt dispenser should still be filled.

-. & % 2 ! Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle to avoid leaks. Always unplug the appliance when cleaning it and when performing maintenance work. 2 The external surfaces of the machine and the control panel may be cleaned using a non-abrasive cloth which has been dampened with water. Do not use solvents or abrasive products. Any marks on the inside of the appliance may be removed using a cloth dampened with water and a little vinegar. ( Always keep the door of the appliance ajar in order to avoid moisture from forming and being trapped inside the machine. Clean the seals around the door and detergent dispensers regularly using a damp sponge. This will avoid food becoming trapped in the seals, which is the main cause behind the formation of unpleasant odours. ! % Food residue may become encrusted onto the sprayer arms and block the holes used to spray the water. It is therefore recommended that the arms are checked from time to time and cleaned with a small non-metallic brush. The two sprayer arms may both be removed. To remove the upper sprayer arm, rotate the locking ring in an anti-clockwise direction. The upper sprayer arm should be replaced with the holes facing upwards. The lower sprayer arm can be removed by pressing on the side tabs and pulling it upwards. The filter assembly consists of three filters which remove food residues from the washing water and then recirculate the water. They should be cleaned if you wish to achieve the best results in every wash. Clean the filters regularly. The dishwasher should not be used without filters, or if the filter is loose. After cleaning the filters, replace the filter assembly and fix it in position correctly; this is essential for maintaining the efficient operation of the dishwasher. ( %
-. )* ( This appliance was designed and manufactured in compliance with current international safety standards. The following information has been provided for safety reasons and should therefore be read carefully. 3 ! The appliance was designed for domestic use inside the home and is not intended for commercial or industrial use. The appliance must be used by adults only, to wash domestic crockery in accordance with the instructions in this manual. The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even in covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the machine exposed to rain and storms. Do not touch the appliance when barefoot. When unplugging the appliance always pull the plug from the mains socket, do not pull on the cable. The water supply tap must be shut off and the plug should be removed from the electrical socket before cleaning the appliance or carrying out any maintenance work. If the appliance breaks down, do not under any circumstances touch the internal parts in an attempt to perform the repair work yourself. Never touch the heating element. Do not lean or sit on the open door of the appliance: this may cause the appliance to overturn. The door should not be left open as it may create a dangerous obstacle. Keep detergent and rinse aid out of reach of children. The packaging material should not be used as a toy. Disposal of packaging materials: observe local legislation so that the packaging may be reused. The European Directive 2002/96/EC relating to Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states that household appliances should not be disposed of using the normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted appliances should be collected separately in order to optimise the cost of re-using and recycling the materials inside the machine, while preventing potential damage to the atmosphere and to public health. The crossed-out dustbin is marked on all products to remind the owner of their obligations regarding separated waste collection. For further information relating to the correct disposal of household appliances, owners may contact the relevant public authority or the local appliance dealer. ( ! (% ( 2 ! Only begin a wash cycle when the dishwasher is full. While waiting for the dishwasher to be filled, prevent unpleasant odours using the Soak cycle ( see Wash cycles ). Select a wash cycle which is suited to the type of crockery and to the soil level of the crockery using the Table of wash cycles: - For dishes with a normal soil level, use the Eco wash cycle, which guarantees low energy and water consumption levels. - If the load is smaller than usual activate the Half load option* ( see Start-up and use). If your electricity supply contract gives details of electricity saving time bands, run wash cycles during the periods when a lower tariff is applied. The Delayed start* button ( see Start-up and use) helps you organise the wash cycles accordingly. C!% We strongly recommend that you use detergents that do not contain phosphates or chlorine, as these products are harmful to the environment. Enzymes provide a particularly effective action at temperatures around 50°C, and as a result detergents containing enzymes can be used in conjunction with low-temperature wash cycles in order to achieve the same results as a normal 65°C wash cycle. To avoid wasting detergent, use the product in appropriate quantities based on the manufacturer’s recommendations, the hardness of the water and the soil level and quantity of crockery to be washed. Even if they are biodegradable, detergents contain substances which may alter the balance of nature. * Only available in selected models.
