GB
Disposal
• Disposal of packaging material: observe local
legislation so that the packaging may be
reused.
• The European Directive 2012/19/EU relating
to Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE) states that household appliances
should not be disposed of using the normal
solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted appliances
should be collected separately in order to
optimise the re-using and recycling rate of the
materials inside the machine, while preventing
potential damage to the environment and public
health. The crossed-out dustbin symbol is
marked on all products to remind the owners
of their obligations regarding separated waste
collection.
For further information relating to the correct
disposal of household appliances, owners may
contact the relevant public authority or the local
appliance dealer.
Saving energy and respecting the
environment
Saving water and energy
• Only begin a wash cycle when the dishwasher
is full. While waiting for the dishwasher to be
filled, prevent unpleasant odours using 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 Table of wash cycles:
- for dishes with a normal soil level use the Eco
wash cycle, which ensures low energy/water
consumption levels.
- If the load is smaller than usual activate the
Half Load option* (see Start-up and use).
• If your electricity supply contract gives details of
electricity-saving time bands, run wash cycles
when electricity prices are lower. The Delayed
Start button * (see Start-up and use) helps you
organise the wash cycles accordingly.
* Only available in selected models.
3
GB
Phosphate-free and chlorine-free detergents
containing enzymes
• 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. 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, the soil level and the quantity
of crockery to be washed. Even if they are
biodegradable, detergents contain substances
which may alter the balance of nature.

Installation
If the appliance must be moved at any time, keep it in an
upright position; if absolutely necessary, it may be tilted onto its
back.
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.
The hose should not be bent or compressed.
GB
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).
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* (see the Assembly
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.)
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.)
* Only available in selected models.

GB
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).
The water may overflow: this is normal and is not a cause
for concern. Select the water hardness value (see chapter
entitled Rinse aid and refined salt). - After the salt has been
poured into the machine, the LOW SALT indicator light*
switches off.
If the salt container is not filled, the water softener and
the heating element may be damaged as a result.
The machine has a buzzer/set of tones (depending on the
dishwasher model) to inform the user that a command has
been implemented: power on, cycle end etc.
The symbols/indicator lights/LEDs on the control panel/
display may vary in colour and may have a flashing or fixed
light (depending on the dishwasher model).
The display provides useful information concerning the type
of wash cycle, drying/wash-cycle phase, remaining time,
temperature etc etc.

Loading the racks
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.
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.
GB
Cutlery basket
The basket is equipped with top grilles for improved cutlery
arrangement. The cutlery basket should be positioned only at
the front of the lower rack
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.
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.
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 tea/
dessert saucers or in a lower position to load bowls and food
containers.
*Only available in selected models with different numbers and
positions.
9
GB
Tip-up compartments with adjustable position
The side tip-up compartments can be positioned at three
different heights to optimize the arrangement of crockery inside
the rack.
Wine glasses can be placed safely in the tip-up compartments
by inserting the stem of each glass into the corresponding slots.
The upper rack can be adjusted for height based on requirements:
high position to place bulky crockery in the lower rack and low
position to make the most of the tip-up compartments/sectors by creating more space upwards.
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.
Cutlery tray*
Some dishwasher models are fitted with a sliding tray which
can be used to hold serving utensils or small cups. For optimum
washing performance avoid positioning bulky crockery directly
below the tray. The cutlery tray can be removed (see Figure).
If the rack is equipped with a Lift-Up device* (see figure), lift
it up by holding its sides. To restore the lower position, press
the levers (A) at the sides of the rack and follow the rack down.
Unsuitable crockery
• Wooden crockery and cutlery.
• Delicate decorated glasses, artistic handicraft and antique
crockery. Their decorations are not resistant.
• Parts in synthetic material which do not withstand high
temperatures.
• Copper and tin crockery.
• Crockery soiled with ash, wax, lubricating grease or ink.
The colours of glass decorations and aluminium/silver pieces can
change and fade during the washing process. Some types of
glass (e.g. crystal objects) can become opaque after a number
of wash cycles too.
Damage to glass and crockery
Caused by:
Before loading the tray,
make sure the supports are
properly coupled to the upper rack (see Figure).
• Type of glass and glass production process.
• Chemical composition of detergent.
• Water temperature of rinse cycle.
Tips:
• Only use glasses and porcelain guaranteed by the manufacturer as dishwasher safe.
• Use a delicate detergent suitable for crockery.
• Collect glasses and cutlery from the dishwasher as soon as the wash cycle is over.
* Only available in selected models.

Start-up and use
Starting the dishwasher
Measuring out the detergent
1. Turn the water tap on.
2. Press the ON/OFF button.
3. Open the door and pour in a suitable amount of 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.
(see below).
4. Load the racks (see Loading the racks) and shut the door.
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 cycle by pressing the Start/Pause button: The wash
indicator light goes on and the time left to the end of the cycle
appears on the display together with the wash-cycle number.
8. At the end of the cycle, the display shows END. 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 to avoid
getting burnt. Unload the racks, beginning with the lower level.
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”.
- The machine will switch off automatically during long
periods of inactivity in order to minimise electricity
consumption.
AUTO WASH CYCLES*: some models of dishwasher are
equipped with a special sensor which can be used to assess
the level of soiling and automatically select the most efficient
and economic wash cycle accordingly. The duration of the auto
wash cycles may vary due to the operation of the sensor.
Changing a wash cycle in progress
If a mistake was made in the wash-cycle selection process, it is
possible to change the cycle provided that it has only just begun:
Once the wash cycle has started, in order to change the wash
cycle switch off the machine by pressing and holding the ON/
OFF/Reset button. Switch it back on using the same button and
select the desired wash cycle and options.
Adding extra crockery
Press the Start/Pause button and open the door, taking care to
avoid the escaping steam. Then place the crockery inside the
dishwasher. Press the Start/Pause button: The cycle will start
again after a long beep has been emitted.
If the delayed start has been set, at the end of the countdown
the wash cycle will not start. It will stay in Pause mode.
Press the Start/Pause button to pause the machine; the wash
cycle is stopped.
At this stage the wash cycle cannot be changed.
Accidental interruptions
If the door is opened during the wash cycle or there is a power
cut, the cycle stops. It starts again from the point at which it
was interrupted once the door has been shut or the electricity
supply restored.
* Only available in selected models.
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.

Rinse aid and refined salt
GB
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. The rinse aid dispenser should be filled:
• When the LOW RINSE AID indicator light* on the control panel
is illuminated, a reserve supply of rinse aid is still available
for 1-2 cycles;
hardness level in your area. Ask your local water supplier for
this information.
- Switch on the dishwasher using the ON/OFF button, wait a
few seconds and switch it off using the ON/OFF button. Hold
down the Start/Pause button for min. 3 seconds; switch on the
machine using the ON/OFF button and access the adjustment
menu - the salt indicator light is lit.
- Select the desired level (1 to 5* max. based on the dishwasher
model) using the P button
(water softener set to medium level).
Press the ON/OFF button to save the setting.
Even if using multi-functional tablets, fill the salt dispenser.

Measuring out the refined salt
1. Open the dispenser “D” by pressing and pulling up the tab
on the lid;
2. Carefully introduce the rinse aid as far as the maximum
reference notch of the filling space - avoid spilling it. If this
happens, clean the spill immediately with a dry cloth.
3. Press the lid down until you hear a click to close it.
NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the appliance tub.
Rinse-aid quantity setting
If you are not completely satisfied with the drying results, you
can adjust the quantity of rinse aid. Switch on the dishwasher
using the ON/OFF button, wait a few seconds and switch it off
using the ON/OFF button
Press the Start/Pause button 3 times; switch on the machine
using the ON/OFF button and access the adjustment menu - the
rinse-aid indicator light is lit (set to factory level).
Select the level of rinse-aid supply using the P wash-cycle button
P. (0 to 4 max.)
Press the ON/OFF button to save the setting.
If the rinse-aid level is set to ZERO, no rinse aid will be supplied.
The LOW RINSE AID indicator light will not go on if you run out
of rinse aid.
• If there are streaks on the crockery, set a low number (1-2).
• If there are drops of water or limescale marks, set a high
number (3-4).
Setting water hardness
Every dishwasher is equipped with a water softener which, by
using refined salt designed specially for this type of appliance,
supplies water without limescale which is then used to wash
the crockery.
This dishwasher has a setting that helps reduce pollution and
optimises washing performance in accordance with the water
14
In order to obtain the best possible results from a wash cycle,
make sure that the salt 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:
• 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.
Care and maintenance
Shutting off the water and electricity
supplies
• Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle to avoid leaks.
• Always unplug the appliance when cleaning it and when
performing maintenance work.
Cleaning the dishwasher
• The external surfaces of the machine and the 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 on the inside of the appliance may be 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 the seals around the door and 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 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. Slide out the stainless-steel plate filter A. (fig. 3).
4. Inspect the trap and remove any food residues. NEVER
REMOVE the wash-cycle pump protection (black detail) (fig.4).
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.
After cleaning the filters, re-place the filter assembly and fix it in
position correctly; this is essential for maintaining the efficient
operation of the dishwasher.
Leaving the machine unused for extended
periods
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.
- Re-place the filter and screw the water hose back into position.
• Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply and shut
off the water tap.
• Leave the door of the appliance ajar.
• When you return, run a wash cycle when the dishwasher is
empty.
* Only available in selected models.
