Connecting the water supplies
EN
! Ensure that the new hose supplied is connected
and the old hose is disposed of safely.
! 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.
! Ensure the fill hose is only fitted to the cold water
supply. DO NOT overtighten the hose connector, hand
tight is sufficient.
Connecting the water inlet hose
! Ensure the fill hose is not kinked.
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).
! Tap connections*: A range of adaptors are available
to suit your tap.
•
To a suitable cold water connection point: before
! DO NOT connect the dishwasher to a single outlet
instantaneous water heater or an electric heater.
Standpipe
Ensure that the hose is not pushed too
far down the standpipe.
If the end of your drain hose is fitted with
‘retaining flaps*’, ensure they are
inserted fully into the standpipe. This
will prevent the pipe from jumping out
during installation and use.
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.
! DO NOT position the standpipe near an electrical
outlet.
! ENSURE that the drain hose is not kinked and it is
routed as shown in the diagram.
The standpipe should have a bore of at least 38mm
(11/2”). It should be installed as shown, have a trap
fitted and must discharge into the same drain system
as your household sink.
•
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.
! It MUST NOT be connected to a surface water drain.
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 Installation).
! The hose should not be bent or compressed.
* Only available in selected models.

Sink Waste System
Anti-flooding protection*
EN
For under sink drainage:
To ensure floods do not occur, the dishwasher:
• before connecting the drain hose, remove any
internal restrictions; this will prevent a build up of
debris which could cause a blockage
- is provided with a special system which blocks the
water supply in the event of anomalies or leaks from
inside the appliance.
• remove any restrictions from the waste spigot and
ensure that the sealing bung is removed
• the hose should be routed, such that it is raised
to a minimum height of 800mm (31/2”).
- 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).
! Ensure the sink outlet pipe has a minimum diamtere
of 32mm.
• Untie the end of the
GREY drainage hose from
the rear of the appliance.
• Reposition the ‘Hooked
End Support’ as required
along the GREY drainage
hose.
• If fitting an under sink waste disposal unit, cut out
the membrane, bung or blanking plug.
! Ensure the drain hose is securely attached, to
prevent it coming away while the machine is in use
and causing a flood.
* Only available in selected models.

Adjusting the amount of rinse aid
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.
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 +.
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:

•
Saving energy and respecting the
environment
•
•
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 carry out 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 packaging material should not be used as a
toy: it can become a choking or suffocation
hazard.
Saving water and energy
•
•
Only start a wash cycle when the dishwasher is
full. While waiting for the dishwasher to be filled,
prevent unpleasant odours with the Soak cycle
(see Wash Cycles).
Select a wash cycle that is suited to the type of
crockery and to the soil level of the crockery using
the Wash cycle table:
•
•
- 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 family includes children:
•
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.
• DO NOT allow children to play with the appliance or
tamper with its controls.
• Keep detergents and rinse aids away from children.
• Keep children away from the open door of a
dishwasher, there could still be some detergent left
inside.
12
Phosphate-free and chlorine-free detergents
containing enzymes
EN
•
•
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 the crockery. Even if
they are biodegradable, detergents contain
substances that may alter the balance of nature.
