Installation
en
Positioning the appliance
Positioning the appliance in the desired location. The back of the appliance should rest against the wall,
and the sides, along the adjacent cabinets or wall. The dishwasher is equipped with water supply and
drain hoses that can be positioned to the right or the left to facilitate proper installation.
Levelling the appliance
Once the appliance is positioned, adjust the feet (screwing them in or out) to adjust the dishwasher,
making it level. The appliance should not be inclined more than 2˚. If the appliance is level, it will help
ensure proper performance.
Cold water connection
Connect the water supply hose to a threaded 3/4 (gas) connector,
making sure that it is fastened tightly in place (see fig.A).
If the water pipes are new or have not been used for an extended
period of time, let the water run to make sure that the water is
clear and free of impurities. If this precaution is not taken, there
is a risk that the water inlet can get blocked and damage the
appliance.
fig.A
Warning
The appliance is to be connected to the water mains using new
hose-sets and that old hose-sets should not be reused.
4
en
Drain hose connection
Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe with a minimum diameter of 4cm, or let it run into the sink, making
sure to avoid bending or crimping it. If necessary, fit a syphon trap (U-bend) with a connecting piece for
the electrical drain hose (fig.B). The free end of the hose must be at a height between 40 and 100 cm
and must not be immersed in water.
-2 2/4
fig.B
Attention:
The connecting piece for syphon trap (U-bend) must be securely
fastened to the wall to prevent the drain hose from moving and
allowing water to spill outside the drain.
Electrical Connection
After making sure that the voltage and frequency values for the current in the home correspond to those
on the rating plate (located on the stainless steel inner door of the appliance) and that the electrical
system is correct for the maximum voltage on the rating plate, insert the plug into an electrical socket
which is earthed properly (the earthing of the appliance is a safety requirement mandated by law).
If the electrical socket to which the appliance must be connected is not appropriate for the plug, replace
the whole cable, rather than using adaptors or the like as they could cause overheating and burns.
Caution:
The dishwasher plug must be accessible even when the appliance
is installed as a built-in unit so that maintenance can be done
safely.

How to fill rinse aid
Rinse aid
This product makes dishes sparkle and helps them to dry without spotting. The dispenser is located on
the inside panel of the door .
Loading the rinse aid
Regardless of the type of detergent dispenser installed on your
appliance, you must proceed as indicated below when loading the
rinse aid.
1
2
To open the dispenser, turn the "1" cap in an anti-clockwise direction
and then pour in the rinse aid, making sure not to overfill. The amount
of rinse aid used for each cycle can be regulated by turning the " 2"
dose adjustor, located beneath the "1" cap, with a screwdriver. There
are 6 different settings; the normal dosage setting is 3.
Important
Proper dosage of the rinse aid improves drying. If drops of water remain on the dishes or
spotting occurs, the dosage adjustor should be turned to a higher setting. If the dishes have
white streaks, turn the dosage adjustor to a lower setting.

Not suitable for the dishwasher
en
What you should not put into the dishwasher
Cutlery and tableware manufactured in whole or part from wood.They become faded and unsightly in
appearance.Furthermore,the adhesives that are used are not suitable for the temperature that occur
inside the dishwasher.Delicate decorative glassware and vases,special antique or irreplaceable china.
The decorative patterns on such items will not be dishwasher-proof.
Plastic objects that are not resistant to hot water, copper and pewter utensils are also not suitable.
Decorative patterns printed or painted onto the surface of crockery, glasses, etc.,aluminium and silver
items tend to become discoloured or faded if washed in the diswasher. Some types of glass can become
opaque in appearance after they have been washed many times in a dishwasher. Highly absorbent
materials, such as sponges and towels,should never be placed in the dishwasher.
Our recommendation
In future, only purchase table or kitchenware that has been confirmed as being dishwasher-proof.
Important
Dishes or cutlery that have been soiled by tobacco ash, wax,
Iubricating grease or paint, should not be put in the dishwasher.
Damage to glassware and other dishes
Possible causes
type of glass or manufacturing process
chemical composition of detergent
water temperature and duration of dishwasher programme.
Suggested remedy
Use glassware or porcelain dishes that have been marked ‘dishwasher-proof’ by the manufacture.
Use a mild detergent that is described as ‘kind to dishes’. If necessary, seek further information from
detergent manufacturers.
Select a programme with a low temperature and a short duration as possible.
To prevent damage, take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher as soon as possible after the
programme has ended.
9
en
Arranging crockery, glasses, etc. in the dishwasher
Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove larger food particles to prevent the filter from
becoming clogged, which results in reduced performance.
If the pots and pans have baked-on food that is extremely hard to remove, we recommend that they are
soaked before washed. This will eliminate the need for extra wash cycles.
Pull out the rack to load the dishwasher.
Normal daily load
How to use the lower rack
We recommend that you place the most difficult to clean items
on the bottom rack: pots, pans, lids, serving dishes and bowls,
as shown in the figure to the right.
It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the sides of
the racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation of the top spray
arm.
fig.D
Pots, serving bowls, etc. must always be placed face
down(see fig.D) .
Deep pots should be slanted to allow the water to flow out.
The silverware basket can be doubled (see fig.E) so that
only one section may be used when the silverware load is
light. This also makes space for additional pots and pans
and it can also be placed in the upper rack.
Silverware should be placed in the silverware basket with
the handles at the bottom; if the rack has side baskets, the
spoons should be located individually into the appropriate
slots. especially long utensils should be placed in the
horizontal position at the front of the upper rack.
fig.E
10
en
How to use the upper rack
The upper rack is designed to hold more delicate and lighter
dishware, such as glasses, cups and saucers, plates, small
bowls and shallow pans (as long as they are not too dirty).
Position the dishes and cookware so that they do not get
moved by the spray of water.
The upper rack can be adjusted for height using the levers
fig.F
located on both sides of the rack (see fig.F).
Adjust the upper basket to the higher level and you have
more space to accommodate those taller pans and trays in
the bottom basket.
Shelf
Lean tall glasses and those with long stems against the shelf-
not against other items to be washed.
Place glasses, cups and small bowls on the additional cup
rack. The additional cup rack can be swivelled in or out as
required(see fig.G).

How to keep your dishwasher in shape
en
After Every Wash
After every wash, turn off the water supply the appliance and leave the door slightly ajar so that moisture
and odors are not trapped inside.
Remove the plug
Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always switch off the remove the plug from the socket. Do
not run risks.
No solvents or Abrasive Cleaning Products
To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning
products. Rather, It is recommended that you use only a cloth and warm soapy water.
To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use a cloth dampened with water and a little
white vinegar, or cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.
Moving the Appliance
If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in a vertical position. If absolutely necessary, it can be
positioned on its back.
Seals
One of the factors that cause odors to form in the dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the seals.
Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this from occurring.
The door should not be left in the open position since this could present a tripping hazard.
When You Go on Holiday
When you go on holiday, it is recommended that you run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and
then remove the plug from the socket, turn off the water supply and leave the door of the appliance
slightly ajar. This will help the seals last longer and prevent odors from forming within the appliance.
15

Notes on waste disposal
Old appliances still have some residual value. An environment-friendly method of disposal will ensure
that valuable raw materials can be recovered and used again.
When an appliance has reached the end of its working life,unplug it from the mains.Cut through the
mains cable and dispose of it together with the plug.
Destroy the door locking mechanism. This will ensure that children at play cannot become locked inside
and are not exposed to the risk of suffocation.
Your new appliance was protected by suitable packaging while it was on its way to you. All materials
used for this purpose are environment-friendly and can be recycled. Please make a contribution to
protecting the environment by disposing of the packaging appropriately.
Do not allow children to play with any parts of the packaging. There is a risk of suffocation by the
cardboard boxes and the plastic wrapping.
Up-to -date information concerning options for disposal can obtained from your retailer or local municipal
administration.
