2. Installation and hook-up

Remove the polystyrene basket retainers.

Position the appliance in the desired place of installation. The back or sides of the dishwasher may be placed up against walls or other furniture units. If the dishwasher is installed near a heat source, fit the special insulating panel to prevent overheating and malfunction of the appliance. To ensure stability, install integrated or built-under dishwashers only under continuous worktops, and screw them to the adjacent units. To facilitate the installation procedure, the intake and drain hoses can be positioned in any direction; make sure that the hoses are not kinked, crushed or pulled too tightly. Make sure to tighten the locking ring-nut once the pipes have been placed in the direction required. A hole at least 8 cm in diameter is required to allow the power supply cable and pipes to pass. Before putting the dishwasher into its definitive position, turn on the water tap and check that there are no leaks from the tap connection, the dishwasher connection or the hose.

Level the appliance on the floor using its adjustable feet. This operation is essential for ensuring correct operation of the dishwasher.

Some models are equipped with only one adjustable foot at the rear, which can be adjusted by turning the screw on the lower front part of the appliance.

Building-in a dishwasher underneath a hob is absolutely forbidden.

Moreover, dishwashers may not be installed directly touching appliances which are not conventional built-in kitchen appliances (e.g. fireplaces, stoves, etc.).

When installing the dishwasher in a compartment next to one or more other appliances, it is essential to comply with all the recommendations provided by the appliance's manufacturer (minimum distances, installation procedures, etc.).

2.1 Water supply connection

Simple line drawing of a person holding an object (no text or symbols)

Preventing the risk of clogging or damage: if the water pipe is new or has not been used for a long time, before connecting to the water supply check that the water is clear and free of impurities, to prevent damage to the appliance.

The dishwasher must always be connected to the water system with new hoses; old or used hoses must never be reused.

CONNECTING TO THE WATER SUPPLY

Connect the intake hose to a cold water supply with 34 " gas thread, inserting the filter A supplied with the dishwasher. Take care to screw the hose firmly into place with your hands and then complete by tightening about 14 of a turn with pliers.

In dishwashers equipped with the ACQUASTOP device, the filters is already fitted inside the threaded ring.

Technical diagram showing two mechanical assembly steps with labeled component A and directional arrow

The dishwasher can also be connected to a hot water supply exceeding 60°C. Supplying the appliance with hot water cuts down the washing time by approximately 20 minutes, but slightly reduces its effectiveness. Make the connection to the domestic hot water supply using the same procedure described for connecting to the cold water supply.

DRAIN CONNECTION

Insert the dishwasher's drain hose into a drain pipe having a diameter of at least 4 cm, or alternatively, place it inside the kitchen sink using the plastic support provided, taking care not to crush or excessively bend the hose. It is important to prevent the hose from coming loose and falling. For this purpose, the plastic support is equipped with a hole for tying it to the wall or water tap.

MAX 100 cm min 30 cm min Ø4 cm

The free end should be positioned at a height of between 30 and 100 cm, and should never be submerged in water. If a horizontal drain extension hose is used (for a maximum of 3 m) the drain hose can be placed at a maximum height of 85 cm from the ground.

Drying

Warning:

during the initial phase of the wash program the spray arms cannot be heard in operation because they start turning about 5 minutes after the start. This is the normal wash cycle sequence.

QUICK TIME OPTION

Select this option together with any wash program (except the soak program) to SHORTEN THE CYCLE by at least 10% and up to 55%

depending on the cycle selected. To activate this option, press the QUICK TIME button (light comes on) after selecting the program required.

1 2 6 5 7 3 4

ENERSAVE OPTION

This option further reduces energy consumption by opening the door at the end of the cycle for more effective drying. At the end of the wash an automatic device releases the door, which slowly opens by a few centimetres. This allows optimal drying even with low rinsing temperatures, for significant energy saving.

Enersave is activated automatically if the selected program is compatible with the option. It can be deactivated before the program is started.

When the function is activated, opening of the doomust not be impeded in any way; do not leave anything in the necessary space in front of the door to allow it to open. Do not force the door lock before the end of the cycle is signalled, as this would damage the mechanism.

SPREAD HALF LOAD

(not compatible with the soak program)

When there are not many dishes to be washed, the “spread half load” option, controlled by the button is useful to save water and electricity and reduces the program’s duration. Spread dishes across both baskets; the detergent dispenser should be loaded with less than the normal amount for a full load.

1 2 6 5 7 3 4

Flexi Tabs

Specifically for washing with combination detergents in tablets, which also contain salt and rinse aid (3in1) or other agents such as glass protector, steel rinse aids, etc. (4in1, 5in1...). When this option is selected, salt and rinse aid will not be dispensed even if the relative compartments are loaded. If the containers are empty, the lights will remain on.

If this option is not provided with your dishwasher, we recommend the use of conventional products (separate detergent, salt and rinse aid), because with conventional wash cycles, combined products might create problems such as a white deposit, poor drying results and residues on dishes.

For further information, refer to the detergent pack.

IMPORTANT:

when no longer required, the option must be deactivated by pressing the corresponding button (the light will turn off).

These products are not suitable for use with excessively “hard” water. If the hardness level set is higher than H3, when the option is activated the relative light flashes to indicate that the product is being used incorrectly; the dishwasher will still work, but wash results may not be ideal.

DELAYING THE PROGRAM

The start of the wash program can be delayed to program the dishwasher to operate at the preferred time of day (e.g. overnight). Press the PROGRAM DELAY button to activate the option and show a 1 hour delay on the display. Keep pressing to select the delay required, which may be up to 24 hours.

During programming, the delay selected is shown on the top display. To reset the delay selected, hold the button down until 0h appears on the display.

When the door is closed, the appliance will prewash the dishes, after which the "program delay" set will come into effect.

The message "Start in "X" hours" appears on the front display.

Until the wash program starts, the selected delay can be reset by holding the button down until 0h appears on the display.

CANCELLING THE PROGRAM IN PROGRESS

• Open the door (watch out for water splashes)
• Press the START button and hold it down until P0 appears on the top display.
• Close the door (00:01 appears on the front display)
• After about 1 minute the program will be cancelled ("End" appears on the front display).

1 2 6 5 7 3 4

CHANGING THE PROGRAM

To change the program in progress, simply open the door (watch out for water splashes) and select a new program. When the door is closed the dishwasher will automatically run the new program.

TO SAVE ENERGY AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT

• Always try to use the dishwasher with a full load.
- Do not wash the dishes in running water.
• Use the wash program that is most appropriate for each type of load.
- Do not perform preliminary rinsing.
• If available, connect the dishwasher to a hot water supply up to 60°C.
- Use the ENERSAVE option

TO REDUCE DETERGENT CONSUMPTION AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT

The phosphates contained in dishwasher detergents are harmful to the environment. To avoid using excessive amounts of detergent save on electricity as well, observe the following recommendations:

• Sort your dishes, washing delicate items separately from those more resistant to strong detergents and high temperatures.
  • Do not pour detergent directly onto dishes.

If the door must be opened while a wash cycle is in progress, the program will be interrupted. The corresponding light will continue to flash and a beeper will signal that the cycle has not been completed. You must wait about 1 minute before closing the door to restart the program. When the door is closed the program will continue from where it was interrupted. This operation should only be carried out if strictly necessary, as it could cause problems in running the program.

END OF PROGRAM and SWITCHING OFF

At the end of the program, the dishwasher emits a beep and "End" flashes on the front display alternating with the name of the program which has just finished. The dishwasher switches off after about 5 minutes to save electricity.

The ON/OFF button has to be pressed to switch it back on.

end 1:25 Auto 45-65

REMOVING THE DISHES

At the end of the wash program, wait at least 20 minutes before removing the dishes, to allow them to cool. To ensure that any drops of water left in the top basket cannot drip onto the dishes still in the lower basket, it is best always to empty the lower basket first, followed by the upper basket.

4. Operating instructions

Once the dishwasher has been correctly installed, prepare for use as follows:

• Adjust the water softening system;
• Add the regenerating salt;
• Add the rinse aid and detergent.

4.1 Using the water softening system

The amount of scale contained in the water (water hardness index) can cause whitish staining on the dry dishes, which tend to become dull over time. The dishwasher is equipped with an automatic softening system which uses a special regenerating salt to reduce the hardness of the water. The dishwasher is factory set for water hardness level 3 (average hardness).

SALT

When using water of medium hardness, the regenerating salt container should be refilled after approximately 20 washing cycles. The salt container can hold approximately 1.7 Kg of salt in grains. The container is situated at the bottom of the dishwasher. After removing the lower basket, unscrew the salt container cap by turning it anticlockwise and pour in the salt using the funnel supplied with the dishwasher. Before replacing the cap, remove any salt residues from around the opening.

• When using the dishwasher for the first time, in addition to the salt it is also necessary to add one litre of water to the container.
• Each time the salt container is refilled, make sure that the cap is securely closed. The mixture of water and detergent must never penetrate the salt container, as this would compromise the operation of the regeneration system. In the event of this occurring, the warranty will be invalidated.
• Only use regenerating salt specially formulated for domestic dishwashers. If using salt tablets, do not fill the container completely.

• Do not use table salt as it contains insoluble substances which, over time, may damage the water softening system.
• When necessary, refill the regenerating salt container before starting the washing program. In this way, the excess saline solution will be immediately removed by the water; the prolonged presence of salt water inside the tank may lead to corrosion.

Be careful not to confuse the salt and detergent packages; adding detergent to the salt container will damage the water softening system.

ADJUSTING THE SOFTENER (only is fitted) (available for all programs except the soak program)

The dishwasher is equipped with an electronic control system which allows the softener setting to be varied to suit the hardness of the water. To set the softener, proceed as follows.

1 2 6 5 7 3 4

• Keep the PROGRAM DELAY button pressed for a few seconds, until the h.- symbol, followed by the set value, appears on the DISPLAY.
• Press the PROGRAM DELAY button again to select the most suitable hardness value (h.-0, h.-1, h.-2.....h.-6). Refer to the "Water hardness table" to select the value.
• To exit the programming mode press any button or do not touch the keypad for about 2 seconds.

After adjusting or displaying the current setting, simply do not touch the button for a few seconds; the dishwasher will automatically return to standard mode, quitting the adjustment mode.

4.2 Using the rinse aid and detergent dispensers

The detergent and rinse aid

dispensers are situated on the inner part of the door: the detergent dispenser is on the left, and the rinse aid dispenser is on the right.

Line drawing of a refrigerator with front panel and side door (no text or symbols)

With the exception of the SOAK program, before every washing cycle it is necessary to add the required amount of detergent to the detergent dispenser. The rinse aid, on the other hand, should only be added as required.

ADDING THE RINSE AID

The rinse aid helps the dishes dry faster and prevents the formation of scale deposits and staining; it is automatically added to the water during the final rinse cycle, from the container situated on the inner side of the door.

Line drawing of a washing machine with a circular vent and fan (no text or symbols)

To add rinse aid:

• Open the door.
• Rotate the container cap anticlockwise by 14 of a turn and remove it.
• Add the rinse aid until the container is full (approximately 140 cc). The optical level indicator on the side of the cap should be completely obscured. Refill the rinse aid when the optical level indicator becomes clear again, or when the rinse aid warning light illuminates.
• Replace the cover and turn it in a clockwise direction.
• Use a cloth to remove any spillage of rinse aid which might lead to the formation of excess foam.

ADJUSTING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER SETTING

The dishwasher is factory set for medium water hardness. However it possible to change the setting by turning the dispenser's selector to the desired position: the amount of rinse aid dispensed is proportional to the selector position.

• To adjust the rinse aid setting, rotate the dispenser cap through a quarter turn in an anticlockwise direction and remove it.
• Then use a screwdriver to rotate the rinse aid selector to the desired position.
• Replace the cap, turning it clockwise.

• The amount of rinse aid must be increased if the washed dishes appear dull or feature circular stains.
• If, on the other hand, the dishes are sticky or have white streaks, it is necessary to reduce the rinse aid setting.

ADDING THE DETERGENT

To open the detergent dispenser cap, lightly press the button P. Add the detergent and close the cap carefully.

During the washing cycle, the dispenser will be opened automatically.

• When a program with hot prewash is selected (see program table), extra detergent must be placed in the cavity G/H (depending on models).
• Use only detergents specially formulated for dishwashers. For optimal washing results it is important to use a good quality detergent.
• The detergent packs must be sealed and stored in a dry place to prevent the formation of lumps which may negatively affect washing results. Once opened the detergent packs should not be kept for too long, otherwise the detergent loses its effectiveness.
• Do not use detergents formulated for washing dishes by hand, because they produce a great deal of foam and may negatively affect the operation of the dishwasher.
• Add the correct amount of detergent. An insufficient amount of detergent will result in a partial removal of dirt from the dishes, whereas an excessive amount is wasteful and does not improve the washing results.

• The market offers liquid and powder detergents with differing chemical compositions, which may contain phosphates, or be phosphate-free but contain natural enzymes.

• Detergents containing phosphates are more effective against grease and starch at temperatures above 60°C.

• Enzyme detergents, on the other hand, are also effective at lower temperatures (from 40 to 55^ ) and are more easily biodegradable. With enzyme detergents it is possible to obtain at low temperatures comparable results to those which can only be achieved at 65^ using traditional detergents.

For the safeguarding of the environment we recommend the use of phosphate- and chlorine free detergents.

The introduction of detergent into the rinse aid dispenser, even in liquid form, will damage the dishwasher.

4.3 General warnings and recommendations

Before using the dishwasher for the first time, it is advisable to read the following recommendations concerning dish types to be washed and their loading.

There are generally no constraints on the washing of domestic dishes, but in certain cases it is necessary to take their characteristics into account.

Before loading the dishes into the baskets it is necessary to:

• remove coarse food remains: e.g. bones, fish-bones, etc. which may clog the filter or damage the wash pump.
• soak any pots or pans with burnt-on food remains on the bottom to facilitate removal, then load them into the LOWER BASKET.

There is no need to pre-wash the dishes under running water before loading them into the baskets since this only wastes water.

Correct loading of the dishes helps ensure optimal washing results.

WARNING!

• Make sure that the dishes are securely in place so that they cannot tip over or obstruct the rotation of the spray arms during the washing cycle.
• Do not place very small objects in the baskets as these could fall and obstruct the spray arms or the wash pump.
• Containers such as cups, bowls, glasses and pots should always be loaded with the opening facing downwards and with any cavities at an angle, to allow the water to drain out.
• Do not stack dishes or place them in such a way that they cover one other.
• Do not place glasses too close together because they may knock against each other and break, or there might be staining at the point where they touch.

MAKE SURE that the items being washed are dishwasher-safe.

Items which are not dishwasher-safe:

• Wooden dishes, pots or pans: these may be damaged by the high washing temperatures.
• Handcrafted items: these are rarely suitable for washing in a dishwasher. The relatively high water temperatures and the detergents used may damage them.
• Plastic dishes: heat resistant plastic dishes must be washed in the upper basket.
• Dishes and objects in copper, tin, zinc or brass: these tend to stain.
• Aluminium dishes: items made from anodised aluminium may lose their colour.
  • Silverware: silver items may stain.
• Glass and crystal: in general, glass and crystal objects can be washed in the dishwasher. However, certain types of glass and crystal may become dull and lose their clearness after many washings. Therefore, for these items we recommend using the least aggressive program available.
• Decorated items: the decorated objects available on the market are generally able to withstand washing in the dishwasher, although the colours may fade after a great many washes. If in doubt as to the fastness of the colours, it is advisable to wash just a few items at a time for approximately one month.

4.4 Using the baskets

The dishwasher has a capacity of 15 place-settings, including serving dishes.

LOWER BASKET

The lower basket receives the full force of the lower spray arm, and should therefore be used for the “toughest” items with a heavier degree of soiling.

All types and combinations of loads are permitted, provided that the dishes, pots and pans are arranged with all the soiled surfaces exposed to the water jets coming from the bottom.

FLEXI DUO TOP RACK (on some models only

This comprises two independent sliding, pull-out tray racks for easier loading/unloading of cutlery. Various loading systems and configurations are possible. For example, tea cups can be loaded with the right-hand rack set in the low position, while the lefhand rack or both can be removed to allow large dishes to be put in the top basket

CUTLERY BASKET

The basket has removable top grids into which items of cutlery should be inserted to keep them properly spaced and allow water to pass between them effectively. The top grids and central lid are in the bag of accessories. The central lid functions as a lid only.

The top grids can be detached and used separately.

The cutlery should be arranged in an orderly manner inside the basket, with the handles pointing downwards. Take care during loading to avoid injury from the knife blades. The basket is suitable for all types of cutlery, except those long enough to interfere with the upper spray arm. Ladles, wooden spoons and cooking knives can be placed in the upper basket, making sure that the knife blades do not protrude from the basket.

UPPER BASKET

It is recommended to load the upper basket with small- or medium-sized items such as glasses, small plates, tea or coffee cups, shallow bowls and light objects made from heat resistant plastic. If the upper basket is used in the lowermost position, it can also be loaded with serving dishes, provided they are only slightly soiled.

LOADING THE UPPER BASKET

Load plates facing forward; cups, bowls etc. must always be facing downwards. The left side of the basket can be loaded with cups and glasses on two levels. In the centre section, plates and saucers can be loaded vertically into the supports provided.

Loading examples:

The adjustment procedure may be type A or B, depending on the dishwasher model purchased.

Version A: pull-out with adjustment in two positions.

• Pull out both the basket guides.
• Remove the stops, first releasing them as shown in the diagram.
• Pull out the basket.
• Fit the upper or lower pair of wheels into the guide, depending on the setting required;
• Return the stops to their original position.

5. Cleaning and maintenance

Before carrying out any work, always unplug the appliance from the electrical supply or switch off the all-pole disconnection device.

5.1 General warnings and recommendations

Avoid the use of acidic or abrasive detergents

Clean the outer surfaces and door-lining of the dishwasher regularly using a soft cloth moistened with water or with a normal detergent suitable for painted surfaces. Clean the door gaskets with a damp sponge. Periodically (once or twice a year) it is advisable to clean the tank and gaskets, using a soft cloth and water to remove any deposits.

CLEANING THE WATER INTAKE FILTEF

The water intake filter A located at the outlet of the water supply tap needs to be cleaned periodically.

After having closed the water supply tap, unscrew the end of the water intake hose, remove the filter A and clean it delicately under running water. Reassemble filter A in its seat and carefully screw the water intake hose back into position.

CLEANING THE SPRAY ARMS

The spray arms can be easily removed for periodic cleaning of the nozzles, to prevent possible clogging. Wash them under running water and carefully replace them in their seats, checking that their rotary movement is in no way impeded.

• To remove the upper spray arm, unscrew locking ring R.
- To remove the lower spray arm, simply lift it up, pulling by the central part.
- To remove the orbital spray arm assembly, take hold of the longer arm and pull the orbital unit upward. Wash the arms under a jet of running water and return them carefully to their seat. After reassembly, check that the spray arms turn freely. Otherwise, check that they have been installed correctly.

GENERAL WARNINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CORRECT MAINTENANCE:

• The filters should be cleaned under running water using a stiff brush.
• When removing the filter, take care that there are no food residues on it. If any residues fall into the washing pit they might block hydraulic components, or foul the spray arm nozzles.
• It is essential to thoroughly clean the filters according to the above instructions: the dishwasher cannot function if the filters are clogged.
• Carefully replace the filters in their seats, to avoid damaging the wash pump.

PROLONGED DISUSE:

• Run the soak program twice in succession.
• Unplug the power cord from the socket.
• Leave the door slightly open, in order to prevent the formation of unpleasant odours inside the washing tank.
• Fill the rinse aid dispenser.
• Shut off the water supply tap.

BEFORE STARTING THE DISHWASHER AFTER PROLONGED DISUSE:

• Check that there are no deposits of sludge or rust inside the water pipe: if there are, allow the water to run from the water supply tap for a few minutes.
• Plug the power cord back into the socket.
• Reconnect the water intake hose and open the tap again.

TROUBLESHOOTING MINOR PROBLEMS

In some cases it is possible to remedy minor problems by referring to the following instructions:

If the program fails to start, check that:

• the dishwasher is connected to the electrical power supply;
  • there is no power failure;
  • the water tap is open;
  • the dishwasher door is properly closed.

If water remains inside the dishwasher, check that:

• the drain hose is not kinked;
• the drain siphon is not obstructed;
- the dishwasher filters are not clogged.

If the dishes are not being cleaned properly, check that:

• the correct amount of detergent has been added;
• there is regenerating salt inside the special container;
  • the dishes are being loaded correctly;
• the selected program is suitable for the dish types and their degree of soiling;
• all the filters are clean and positioned correctly;
• the spray arm nozzles are not obstructed;
  • there is no object obstructing the rotation of the spray arms.

If the dishes fail to dry or remain dull, check that:

• there is rinse aid inside the special container;
• the rinse aid dispenser setting is correct;
• the detergent used is of good quality and has not lost its effectiveness (for example, through incorrect storage, with the box left open).

If the dishes show signs of streaking, staining, etc., check that:

- the rinse aid dispenser setting is not too high.

If there are visible traces of rust inside the tank:

• the tank is made of steel, and therefore any rust marks are due to external elements (fragments of rust from the water pipes, pots, cutlery, etc.). Special products are commercially available to remove such marks;
• check that the amount of detergent being used is correct. Certain detergents can be more corrosive than others.
• check that the cap of the salt container is securely closed, and that the water softening setting is correct.

If after following the above troubleshooting instructions the problem persists, call the nearest After-Sales Centre.

WARNING: any operations performed on the appliance by unauthorised persons are not covered by the warranty and shall be paid for by the user.

6. Troubleshooting

The dishwasher has an autodiagnosis system capable of detecting and indicating a preset series of possible malfunctions.

TABLE OF MALFUNCTIONS DETECTED BY THE AUTODIAGNOSIS SYSTEM

FAULT DESCRIPTION
Error 01	Anti-flooding system tripped (where installed).
Error 02	The system that limits the water level in the dishwasher has been tripped.
Error 03	The dishwasher is unable to heat the water.
