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

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 not 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.

Class of protection against moisture: IPX0

The program selection is possible through the relative buttons.

By pressing the relative button of the desired program (see table) it will light up the relative pilot light to confirm that the operation occurred and on the DISPLAY a program duration forecast will appear ("h.mm").

START PROGRAM

At this point, in order to start the machine, it is only enough to press the START/PAUSE ▶ for some seconds until the symbol START/PAUSE start to flash and confirmation "beep" is heard. From this moment the cycle duration on the DISPLAY starts to decrease.

This phase, that updates itself during the cycle, is “indicative” since it is influenced by the washing conditions such as dishwasher type and quantity, entry temperature etc. For this reason it is normal to see the updating during a program (increment and decrease of minutes) specially in the passage from one phase to the other (for example, from washing to rinse).

Program progress is indicated by the program phases that show the status of the current cycle.

The current phase flashes, while the next washing phases lights stay on. At the end of each phase, the signal will turn off.

N.B.: when a program which does not need the prewash phase is selected, the prewash signal stays off.

ENERSAVE

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.

The dishwasher remains in an idle state between the rinse stage and the end of the cycle to allow proper drying (the display shows the time left until the end of the cycle). Opening the door at this stage causes the cycle to stop and ends the program.

The program end is signalled by a short beep and the flashing of the indicator lights for programs 4 and 5.

When the function is activated, opening of the door must 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.

When the function is activated, opening of the door must not be impeded in any way; do not leave anything in the space in front of the door necessary to allow it to open.

Do not re-close the door during automatic opening as this would damage the mechanism. Wait for the pushers to retract before re-closing the door.

DELAYING THE PROGRAM

The PROGRAM DELAY button can be pressed to delay the start of the washing program by 1 up to 24 hours. This means that the dishwasher can be operated at the time of day of your choice.

Press the PROGRAM DELAY button 📊 again; the INFORMATION DISPLAY (6) will show the number of hours of delay with which the appliance will start.

After setting the delay, start the program: press the START/PAUSE button (4) for a few seconds, until the PROGRAM STARTED light starts flashing. The appliance will prewash the dishes, after which the "program delay" set previously will come into effect.

To cancel the program delay once the wash has started, proceed as follows:

• Press the START/PAUSE button (4) for a few seconds, until the PROGRAM STARTED light stops flashing;
• Press the PROGRAM DELAY button ⏻ several times until the program delay returns to zero;
• Press the START/PAUSE button (4) to start the program.

SPREAD HALF LOAD

Suitable when there are not many dishes to be washed, it saves energy and reduces the program duration. Place dishes in both baskets then load the detergent dispenser than less than the normal amount for a full load.

Flexi Tabs

Ideal for multi-function detergents, this option allows washing to be optimised, with full benefits from the combined-action tablets. When this option is activated, any salt and rinse aid in the relative containers will not be used.

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

N.B.:

When the salt and rinse aid containers are empty, the relative lights will remain on even if the "Flexi Tabs" option is selected.

IMPORTANT:

when no longer required, the option must be deactivated by pressing the relative button (the light goes out).

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 washing results may be poor.

"CHILD LOCK" OPTION

By pressing the indicated buttons (3) at the same time, the controls are locked, which is confirmed when the warning light on display turns on. This option stays active until the buttons (3) are pressed again.

TO SAVE ON ENERGY! ... AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT

• Always try to run the dishwasher fully loaded.
- Do not wash the dishes in running water.
- Use the washing program that is most appropriate for each type of load.
- Do not carry out any preliminary rinsing.
• If available, connect the dishwasher to a hot water supply up to 60^ C.

TO CUT DOWN ON DETERGENT CONSUMPTION! ... AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT

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

• separate the more delicate items from dishes that are more resistant to aggressive detergents and high temperatures;
  • do not pour the detergent directly on the dishes.

ENERGY MANAGEMENT

At the end of the program, afterwards 5 minutes, the washing machine switches off automatically in order to reduce standby power consumption. In order to switch it on again, it is necessary to press the ON/OFF button.

REMOVING THE DISHES

At the end of the washing program, wait at least 20 minutes before removing the dishes, to allow them to cool down. To prevent any water droplets on the upper basket from falling on the dishes in the lower basket, it is advisable to unload the lower basket first, and then the upper basket.

4. Operating instructions

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

• Adjust the water softening system (on some models only);
• Add the regenerating salt (on some models only);
• Add the rinse aid and detergent.

4.1 Using the water softening system (on some models only)

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.

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.

WATER SOFTENER SETTING

(available in all programs except the soak program)

The setting can be adjusted using the PROGRAM DELAY BUTTON.

1 2 6 5 4 3 7

To access the programming environment, the appliance must be turned on with the door closed. Then proceed as follows:

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.

To add rinse aid:

• Open the dispenser by pressing and lifting the tab on the cover.
• Fill the dispenser with rinse aid. Top up again when the rinse aid indicator light turns on.
• Close the cover, a click indicates when it is closed.
• Use a cloth to remove any spillage of rinse aid which might lead to the formation of excess foam.

b0	0 – not dispensed
b1	minimum 2 ml
b2	3 ml
b3	4 ml
b4	5 ml
b5	maximum 6 ml

Default settings: b4 - 5ml

• 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 cover, lightly press button P. Add the detergent or tablet and close the cover by sliding it until it stops, indicated by a click.

The dispenser will open automatically during the wash cycle.

Only add the detergent (also in tablet form) if the dispenser is dry

• 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. 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 for washing dishes by hand because they may 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.
• 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.

UPPER BASKET

The upper basket should be loaded with small or medium-sized items such as glasses, small plates and saucers, tea or coffee cups, shallow bowls and light objects. If the upper basket is used in the lowermost position, it can also be loaded with serving dishes, provided they are only lightly 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:

CUTLERY BASKET

The basket is suitable for all types of cutlery, except long items that may interfere with the upper spray arm. The cutlery should be arranged in the spaces in the upper racks to allow the water to pass effectively between the items.

Forks and spoons should be positioned with the handle facing downwards, taking care not to injure yourself with the prongs of the forks. Knives should be placed in the tray on the upper rack or in the cutlery drawer, if present (depending on the model), otherwise position them with the handles facing upwards.

Ladies, wooden spoons and kitchen knives can be placed on the upper rack, making sure that the blades of the knives do not protrude from the basket. The upper racks can be opened in order to insert, for example, small items.

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 FILTER

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 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.

CLEANING THE FILTER UNIT

• It is advisable to periodically inspect the centre filter C and, if necessary, to clean it. To remove the filter, grip the tabs, turn them anticlockwise and lift upwards;
• push the centre filter D from the underside to remove it from the microfilter:
• separate the two parts which make up the plastic filter by pressing the body of the filter in the zone shown by the arrows;
• remove the centre filter by lifting it upwards.

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).
• Non-dry synthetic dishes.
Synthetic material has a lower heat storage capacity and is therefore harder to dry.

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.

Only for models with this lock version.

If the door does not close:

1 - Check the position of the door lock catch (D)
2 - If necessary, raise it by adjusting the plastic screw (V) next to the catch.
3 - Check the condition of the lock hook; if it has not triggered (reference N), the door opens and closes normally. If it has triggered (reference S), close the door with force until it resets; open and close the door.
