see the Assembly instruction sheet

3. Position the dishwasher on a level and sturdy floor. If thefloor is uneven, the front feet of the appliance may beadjusted until it reaches a horizontal position. If theappliance is levelled correctly, it will be more stable andmuch less likely to move or cause vibrations and noisewhile it is operating.4. Adjust the height of the rear foot from the front of the appliance*on the central lower part of the dishwasher, turning a hexagonalspanner (red color) with an opening of 8 mm in a clockwisedirection to increase the height or in an anticlockwise direction todecrease the height. Connecting the water and electricity supplies Connection to the water and electricity supplies shouldonly be performed by a qualified technician.The dishwasher should not stand on top of the waterhoses or the electricity supply cable.The appliance must be connected to the water supplynetwork using new hoses.Do not use old hoses.The water inlet and outlet hoses and the electricity supplycable may be positioned towards the right or the left inorder to achieve the best possible installation. Connecting the water inlet hose

• To a suitable cold water connection point: beforeattaching the hose, run the water until it is perfectly clearso that any impurities that may be present in the waterdo not clog the appliance; after performing thisoperation, screw the inlet hose tightly onto a tap with a¾ gas threaded connection.• To a suitable hot water connection point: yourdishwasher may be supplied with hot water from themains supply (if you have a central heating system withradiators) provided that it does not exceed a temperatureof 60°C.Screw the hose to the tap as described for connectionto a cold water supply.If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialiststore or an authorised technician ( see Assistance

The water pressure must be within the values indicatedin 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 ductwith a minimum diameter of 4 cm.The outlet hose must be at a height ranging from 40 to 80cm 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 watersupply in the event of anomalies or leaks from inside theappliance.Some models are also equipped with the supplementarysafety device New Acqua Stop *, which guarantees anti- flooding protection even in the event of a supply hoserupture.

WARNING: HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE!

Under no circumstance should the water inlet hose be cutas it contains live electrical parts.

Anti-condensation strip* After installing the dishwasher, open the door and stick theadhesive transparent strip under the wooden shelf in orderto protect it from any condensation which may form. Advice regarding the first wash cycle After the appliance has been installed, immediately beforerunning the first wash cycle, completely fill the saltdispenser with water and add only then approximately 1 kgof salt (see chapter entitled Rinse aid and refined salt). Thewater may overflow: this is normal and is not a cause forconcern. Select the water hardness value (see chapterentitled Rinse aid and refined salt). - After the salt has beenpoured into the machine, the LOW SALT indicator light*switches off. If the salt container is not filled, the water softener andthe heating element may be damaged as a result. ECODESIGN REGULATION ECO wash cycle is the standard cycle to which the energy label data refers; this cycle can be used to wash crockery with a normal soil level and is the most efficient in terms of energy and water consumption for this type of crockery. To reduce consumption even further, only run the dishwasher when it is full.Standby consumption: Left-on mode consumption: 3 W – Off mode consumption: 1,3 WConsumption data table for the main cycles

Unload the racks, beginning with the lower level. - The machine will switch off automatically during certain periods of inactivity, in order to minimise electricity consumption. AUTO WASH CYCLES*: this model of dishwasher isequipped with a special sensor which can be used to assess thelevel of soiling and automatically select the most efficient andeconomic wash cycle accordingly.The duration of the auto wash cycles may vary due to theoperation of the sensor.If the crockery is only lightly soiled or if it has been rinsedwith water before being placed in the dishwasher, reduce theamount of detergent used accordingly. Modifying a wash cycle in progress If a mistake was made during the wash cycle selection processit is possible to change the cycle, provided that it has only justbegun: open the door, avoiding the escaping steam, and pressand hold the ON/OFF button; the machine will switch off with along beep. Switch the machine back on using the ON/OFF buttonand select the new wash cycle and any options desired; start thecycle by closing the door. Adding extra crockery Without switching off the machine, open the door, taking care toavoid the escaping steam, and place the crockery inside thedishwasher. Close the door: the cycle starts from the point atwhich it was interrupted. Accidental interruptions If the door is opened during the wash cycle, or if there is a powercut, the cycle stops. It starts again from the point at which it wasinterrupted once the door has been shut or once the electricitysupply is restored. Measuring out the detergent A good wash result also depends on the correct amount ofdetergent being used; exceeding the stated amount does notresult in a more effective wash and increases environmentalpollution. 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, rinse aid liquid and salt should be used. Compartment A: Washing detergentCompartment B: Pre-wash detergent1. Open cover C by pressing button 2. Pour in the detergent after consultingthe Table of wash cycles:• For powder detergent usecompartments A and B.• For detergent in tablet form: whenthe cycle requires 1 tablet, place it incompartment A and close the cover;when it requires 2, place the second tablet at the bottom of theappliance.3.

Rinse aid and refined salt Only use products which have been specifically designed for dishwashers. Do not use table salt or industrial salt, or washing up liquid. Follow the instructions given on the packaging. If using a multi-functional product it is not necessary to addrinse aid; however, we recommend that you add salt, especiallyif 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 remain lit. Measuring out the rinse aid Rinse aid makes it easier for the crockery to dry, as water runsoff surfaces more readily and therefore does not leave streaks ormarks.The rinse aid dispenser should be filled:• When the LOW RINSE AID
• indicator light on the control panel is illuminated;1. Open the dispenser by turningthe lid (G) in an anticlockwisedirection.2. Pour in the rinse aid, making sureit does not overflow from thedispenser. If this happens, cleanthe spill immediately with a drycloth.3. Screw the lid back on.NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the appliance tub. Adjusting the amount of rinse aid If you are not completely satisfied with the drying results, youmay adjust the quantity of rinse aid used. Use a screwdriver toturn the dosage adjuster (F) to one of the 6 pre-set positions (thedefault position is set to 4):• If there are streaks on the crockery, set the adjustment deviceto a lower number (1-3).• If drops of water remain on the crockery or if there are limescalemarks present after the cycle has finished, set the adjuster to ahigher number (4-6). Setting the water hardness Every dishwasher is equipped with a water softener which, byusing refined salt designed especially for this type of appliance,supplies water without limescale which is then used to wash thecrockery.This dishwasher offers a setting which helps to reduce pollutionand optimises washing performance in accordance with the waterhardness level in your area. This information can be obtainedfrom the organisation which supplies your household with water. - Open the door and switch on the machine by pressing the ON/ OFF button. - Press the P button and hold for approximately 5 seconds; two short beeps will sound and the set hardness number will flashslowly on the display (the water softening system is set to number3). - Press the P button repeatedly until the desired hardness level has been reached (1-2-3-4-5 see Water hardness table - To exit the function, wait a few seconds or press one of theoption buttons *, or switch off the machine using the ON/OFF button.Even if using multi-functional tablets, the salt dispenser shouldstill be filled.(°dH = hardness measured in German degrees - °f = hardnessmeasured in French degrees - mmol/l = millimoles per litre) Measuring out the refined salt In order to achieve the best possible results using a wash cycle,make sure that the dispenser is never empty. Refined salt removeslimescale from the water, thus avoiding the formation of depositson 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 SALT
• indicator light on the control panel is illuminated;1. Remove the lower rack and unscrew thecontainer cap (anticlockwise).2. The first time you do this: fill the watertank right up to its edge.3. Position the funnel see figure) and fillthe salt container right up to its edge (thisshould hold approximately 1 kg); it is not unusual for a little waterto leak out.4. Remove the funnel
• and wipe any salt residue 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 thefour cracks which are arranged in a star shape on the lower partof the cap. (Salt cap with green float It is advisable to perform this procedure every time you addsalt to the container.Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly, so that no detergentcan get into the container during the wash cycle (this coulddamage the water softener beyond repair).When necessary, measure out the salt before a wash cycleso that any saline solution which has leaked out of the saltdispenser is removed.
• Only available in selected models.

6,1 - 9 2/3 weeks For values between 0°f and 10°f, we do not recommend the use of salt this setting may cause a slight increase in the duration of the cycles. for 1 wash cycle per day.EN

Care and maintenance Shutting off the water and electricity supplies
