Positioning and levelling 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. Arrange the dishwasher so that its sides or back panel are in contact with the adjacent cabinets or the wall. This appliance can also be recessed under a single worktop *

Instruction sheet.) 3. Position the dishwasher on a level sturdy floor. If the floor is uneven, the front feet of the appliance should be adjusted until it reaches a horizontal position. 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. 4

*. To adjust the height of the rear foot, turn the red hexagonal bushing on the lower central part at the front of the dishwasher using a hexagonal spanner with an opening of 8 mm. Turn the spanner in a clockwise direction to increase the height and in an anticlockwise direction to decrease it (see Building-in Instruction

sheet attached to the documentation.)

Connecting the water and electricity supplies Connection to the water and electricity supplies should only beperformedbyaqualifiedtechnician.The dishwasher should not stand on the water hoses or electricity supply cable.The appliance must be connected to the water supply network using new hoses.Never use old or second hand hose sets. Do not reuse hose sets from any previously installed dishwasher.The water inlet and outlet hoses and the electricity supply cable may be positioned towards the right or the left in order to achieve the best possible installation. Connecting the water inlet hose • 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 supplied 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 adjacent information.) The hose should not be bent or compressed. Connecting the water outlet hose Connect the outlet hose (without bending it) to a drain duct with a minimum diameter of 4 cm. Theoutlethosemustbeataheightrangingfrom40to80cmfromthefloor/surfacewherethedishwasherrests(A).Before connecting the water outlet hose to the sink drain, remove the plastic plug (B). Anti-flooding protection 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.Somemodelsarealsoequippedwiththesupplementarysafetydevice New Acqua Stop *, which guarantees anti-flooding protection even in the event of a supply hose rupture. WARNING: HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE! Under no circumstances should the water inlet hose be cut, as it contains live electrical parts. Electrical connection 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.If the power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its Technical Assistance Service in order to prevent all potential hazards (see Assistance.)EN

Anti-condensation strip* After installing the dishwasher, open the door and stick the adhesive transparent strip under the wooden shelf in order to protect it from any condensation which may form. Advice regarding the first wash cycle After the installation, remove the stoppers from the racks and the retaining elastic elements from the upper rack, if any.Immediately before the fist washing, completely fill the salt dispenser with waterandaddonlythenapproximately1kg of salt (seechapterentitledRinseaidandrefinedsalt)

Tips Before loading the racks, remove all food residues from the crockeryandemptyliquidsfromglassesandcontainers.No preventive rinsing is needed under running water.Arrange the crockery so that it is held in place firmly and does not tip over; and arrange the containers with the openings facing downwardsandtheconcave/convexpartsplacedobliquely,thus allowing the water to reach every surface and flow freely.Make sure that the lids, handles, trays and frying pans do not prevent the sprayer arms from rotating. Place any small items in the cutlery basket.Since plastic dishes and non-stick frying pans usually retain more water drops, their drying will be not so good as that of ceramic or stainless-steel dishes.Lightweight items such as plastic containers should be placed in the upper rack and arranged so that they cannot move.After loading the appliance, make sure that the sprayer arms can rotate freely. Lower rack The lower rack can hold pans, lids, dishes, salad bowls, cutlery etc. Large plates and lids should ideally be placed at the sides.Very soiled dishes and pans should be placed in the lower rack because in this sector the water sprays are stronger and allow a higher washing performance.Several dishwasher models are fitted with tip-up sectors *. They can be used in a vertical position when arranging dishes or in a horizontal position (lower) to load pans and salad bowls easily. Cutlery basket The modular basket can slide to optimise the space inside the lowerrack.Itisequippedwithtopgrillesforimprovedcutleryarrangement. Knives and other utensils with sharp edges must be placed in the cutlery basket with the points facing downwards or they must be positioned horizontally in the tip-up compartments on the upper rack Upper rack Load this rack with delicate and lightweight crockery such as glasses, cups, saucers and shallow salad bowls. Several dishwasher models are fitted with tip-up sectors *. Theycanbeusedinavertical position when arranging tea/dessert saucers or in a lower position to load bowls and food containers. *Only available in selected models with different numbers and positions.EN

Adjusting the height of the upper rack In order to make it easier to arrange the crockery, the upper rack may be moved to a higher or lower position.The height of the upper rack should be adjusted WHEN THE RACK IS EMPTY.NEVER raise or lower the rack on one side only.IftherackisequippedwithaLift-Up device*

Measuring out the detergent

A good wash result also depends on the correct

amount of detergent being used. Exceeding the stated

amount does not result in a more effective wash and

increases environmental pollution. Based on how soiled the items are, the amount can be adjusted to individual cases using powder or liquid detergent.In the case of normally soiled items, use approximately either 35 gr (powder detergent) or 35 ml (liquid detergent). If tablets are used, one tablet will be enough.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. For good washing results also follow the instructions shown on the detergent box.For further questions please ask the detergent producers' Advice Offices.To open the detergent dispenser use the opening device “A”. Introduce the detergent into the dry dispenser “B” only. Place the amount of detergent for pre-washing directly inside the tub.1.WhenmeasuringoutthedetergentrefertotheTableofwashcyclestoaddtheproperquantity.CompartmentB comprises alevelshowingthemaximumquantityofliquidorpowderdetergent that can be added to each cycle.2.Removedetergentresiduesfromtheedgesofthedispenserand close the cover until it clicks.3. Close the lid of the detergent dispenser by pulling it up until the closing device is secured in place.The detergent dispenser automatically opens up at the right time according to the wash cycle.If all-in-one detergents are used, we recommend using the TABS option, because it adjusts the cycle so that the best washing and drying results are always achieved.Only use detergent which has been specifically designed for dishwashers.DO NOT USE washing-up liquid.Using excessive detergent may result in foam residue remaining in the machine after the cycle has ended. The use of tablets is only recommended for models which offer the MULTI-FUNCTIONAL TABLETS option.To achieve the best results from each washing and drying cycle, powder detergent, liquid rinse aid and salt should be used. Starting the dishwasher 1.Turnthewatertapon.2.OpenthedoorandpresstheON/OFFbutton.3. Measure out the detergent. (see adjacent information).4. Load the racks (see Loading the racks ). 5. Select the wash cycle in accordance with the type of crockery and its soil level (see Table of wash cycles) by pressing the P button.6. Select the wash options *. (see Special wash cycles and Options) . 7. Start the wash cycle by shutting the door.8. The end of the wash cycle is indicated by beeps and by the flashing of the indicator light of the selected wash cycle. Open thedoor,switchofftheappliancebypressingtheON/OFFbutton, shut off the water tap and unplug the appliance from the electricity socket.9.Waitafewminutesbeforeremovingthecrockeryinordertoavoid burns.

Rinse aid and refined salt Only use products which have been specifically designed for dishwashers. Do not use table/industrial salt or washing-up liquid. Follow the instructions given on the packaging.If using a multi-functional product it is not necessary to add any rinse aid. However, we recommend that you add salt, especially if you live in an area where the water is hard or very hard. (Follow the instructions given on the packaging). If you do not add salt or rinse aid, the LOW SALT* and LOW RINSE AID indicator lights will stay lit. Measuring out the rinse aid Rinseaidmakesiteasierforthecrockerytodry,aswaterrunsoffthe surfaces more readily and therefore does not leave streaks or marks.

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 looking at the cap of the salt dispenser;• WhentheLOWRINSEAIDindicatorlightonthecontrolpanelis illuminated *; 1.Removethelowerrackandunscrewthecap(anticlockwise).2. The first time you do this: fill the water tank right up to its edge.3. Position the funnel * (see figure) and fill the salt dispenser up to the edge (approximately 1kg).Itisnormalforalittlewatertoleakout.4.Remove thefunnel* andwipe anysaltresidues away from the opening; rinse the cap under running water and then screw it on, the head facing downwards so as to let the water flow out of the four slots (star-shaped arrangement) in the lower part of the cap (cap with green float *). It is advisable to perform this procedure every time you add salt to the dispenser. Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly so that no detergent can get into the container during the wash cycle (this could damage the water softener beyond repair).Whennecessary,measureoutthesaltbeforeawashcycleso that any saline solution which has leaked out of the salt dispenser is removed. * Only available in selected models.

Shutting off the water and electricity

 performing maintenance work. Cleaning the dishwasher • The  external  surfaces 

 control  panelcan be cleaned using a non-abrasive cloth which has been dampened with water. Do not use solvents or abrasive products.• Any  marks 

 removed  using a cloth dampened with water and a little vinegar. Preventing unpleasant odours • Alwayskeep the door of

the applianceajar in order to avoid  moisture from forming and being trapped inside the machine.• Clean 

 detergent  dispensers  regularly using a damp sponge. This will avoid food becoming trapped in the seals, which is the main cause behind the formation of unpleasant odours. Cleaning the sprayer arms Food residue may become encrusted onto the sprayer arms and block the holes used to spray the water. It is therefore recommended that you check the arms from time to time and clean them with a small non-metallic brush.The two sprayer arms may both be removed.To remove the upper sprayer arm, turn the plastic locking ring in an anti-clockwise direction. The upper sprayer arm should be replaced so that the side with the greater number of holes is facing upwards.The lower sprayer arm can be removed by pressing on the side tabs and pulling it upwards. Cleaning the water inlet filter* If the water hoses are new or have not been used for an extended period of time, let the water run to make sure it is clear and free of impurities before performing the necessary connections. If this precaution is not taken, the water inlet could become blocked and damage the dishwasher.Clean the water inlet filter at the tap outlet regularly. - Turn off the water tap.- Unscrew the end of the water inlet hose, remove the filter and clean it carefully under running water. -

 position. Cleaning the filters The filter assembly consists of three filters which remove food residues from the washing water and then recirculate the water. They should be cleaned if you wish to achieve the best results in every wash.Clean the filters regularly.The dishwasher should not be used without filters or if the filter is loose.•Afterseveralwashes,checkthefilterassemblyandifnecessaryclean it thoroughly under running water, using a non-metallic brush and following the instructions below: 1. Turn the cylindrical filter C in an anti-clockwise direction and pull it out (fig.1). 2.RemovethecupfilterB by exerting a slight pressure on the side flaps (fig. 2); 3.
