 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 (the
angle of inclination must not exceed 2 degrees). 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.
 
0!!)
%%

 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 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). 
0!
• 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 provided 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 below).

 The hose should not be bent or compressed.

#&
%
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.
- is provided with a 
Water Stop* safety device, in other
words it has a water inlet hose that consists of a
transparent hose on the outside and a red hose on the
inside: both the hoses can withstand extremely high
pressure. If the internal hose breaks, the external hose
becomes a bright red colour and carries the water
instead, thus avoiding any leakage.

 It is very important to check the external hose
regularly: if it is a bright red colour, it must be replaced
by an authorised technician as soon as possible (
see
Assistance
).

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 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.

 The cable should be checked regularly and replaced
by authorised technicians only (
see Assistance).

 The Company shall not be held responsible for any
incidents that occur if these regulations are not
observed.

After the appliance has been installed, immediately
before running the first wash cycle, completely fill the
salt dispenser with water and add approximately 2 kg
of salt (
see Rinse aid and refined salt). The water may
overflow: this is normal and is not a cause for concern.
It is also normal that the LOW SALT* indicator light
continues to flash for a few cycles after the salt has
been loaded.

been shut or the electricity supply is restored.
!


A successful wash also depends on the correct
amount of detergent being used, as recommended by
the manufacturer. Exceeding the recommended
amount does not result in a more effective wash and
pollutes the environment.

 To obtain the best results from each washing and
drying cycle, powder detergent, rinse aid liquid and
salt should be used.

	!)!

To make it easier to measure out the detergent, it is worth remembering that:
1 tablespoon = 15 grams of powder = approximately 15 ml of liquid
1 teaspoon = 5 grams of powder = approximately 5 ml of liquid
	! )

  INDESIT dishwashers are equipped with an automatic filter cleaning system so that they do not become clogged with food
   residues.  This function may extend the duration of the wash cycles. If there is a high level of dirt contained in the filters, the
   dishwasher will stop operating 
(see Troubleshooting - Blocked filter alarm).

  If the crockery is only lightly soiled or if it has been rinsed with water before being placed in the dishwasher, reduce the
   amount of detergent used accordingly.

  The number and type of wash cycles varies according to the model of dishwasher.

 Only use products that have been specifically designed for
dishwashers.
Do not use table salt or industrial salt.

 If using a multi-functional product (2-in-1, 3-in-1, 4-in-1, etc.) it
is not necessary to add rinse aid; however, we recommend
that you add salt, especially if you live in an area where the
water is hard or very hard. If you do not add salt or rinse aid,
the LOW SALT* and LOW RINSE AID* indicator lights will
flash continuously.
!
!
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:
 whenever the indicator light (H) signals that it is empty.
Illuminated light: add rinse aid; unlit light: there is no
shortage of rinse aid in the dispenser.
 when the LOW RINSE AID* indicator light on the panel
flashes;
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 sponge.
3. Screw the lid back on.
NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the appliance tub.

:
!,&!
If you are not completely satisfied with the washing or drying
results, you may adjust the quantity of rinse aid used. Use a
screwdriver to turn the dosage adjuster to one of the 6 pre-
set positions (the default position is set to 4):
 if there are bluish streaks on the crockery, set the
adjuster to a lower number (1-3).
 if drops of water remain on the crockery or there are
limescale marks present after the cycle has finished, set
the adjuster to a higher number (4-6).

 If you are using multi-functional tablets (2-in-1, 3-in-1, 4-in-1,
etc.) and you wish to further improve the drying
performance of the appliance, fill the dispenser and set the
dosage adjuster to 2.
!
&!
In order to obtain the best possible results from 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 lookingat the cap of the salt dispenser;
 when the LOW SALT* indicator light on the panel flashes;
 if your machine is not equipped with an indicator light or
a green float:
approximately every 30 wash cycles;
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 provided
correctly (
see figure) and fill the
salt dispenser up to the edges (approximately 2 kg); it is
normal for a little water to leak out.
4. Remove the funnel, wipe away any salt residue from the
thread 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 salt has been added, run a wash cycle immediately,
without crockery, in order to remove any salt solution that
has leaked out and to avoid corrosion.

:
!,&!8
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).
1. Unscrew the dispenser cap.
2. Turn the arrow on the neck of the
dispenser (
see figure) towards the + or -
symbols, using the table below as a
guide.
The default setting of the water softening system is +.
- If using multi-functional tablets (2-in-1, 3-in-1, 4-in-1, etc.) fill
the salt dispenser and set the adjuster to -; if the hardness of
the water is greater than 60°fH, set it to +.

The filters remove food residue from the water used in
the wash cycle: to obtain the best results from each
wash, they should be cleaned.

 Clean the filters regularly.

 After cleaning check that the filter assembly has
been replaced correctly.

The dishwasher should not be used without filters, or
when the filter is loose.
1. Remove the filters by pulling the handle upwards.
2. Clean the filters:
 after every wash
cycle, remove the
largest pieces of residue
from semicircular plate
A and glass B (these
may be removed by
pulling the handle) by
rinsing them under
running water.
 The entire filter
assembly should be
cleaned thoroughly
once a month: this
includes the
semicircular plate A, the
glass B and the cylinder
C (this may be removed
by turning it in an anti-
clockwise direction).
Use a small non-metallic
brush to clean these parts.
3. Reconstruct the filter assembly and replace it in the
correct position, following movements 1 and 2 as
shown in the figure, until it clicks into place.
