Prior to using for the first time
Before using your dishwasher for the first time:
Filling with salt
1. Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply
with the installation instructions.
Special salt can be added in one of two ways:
2. Remove all packaging from inside the appliance.
●
If you are using dishwasher detergent that already contains
salt, the detergent including the salt is placed in the
detergent compartment.
- In this case the water softener must be set to level1 to
ensure that the special salt is taken from the detergent
container only.
●
If you are using dishwasher detergent and salt separately,
the special salt is to be put into the salt container.
- In this case the water softener must be set between level
1 and level 5 (depending on the water hardness in your
area) to ensure that the special salt is taken from the
detergent container only.
3. Set the water softener.
4. Pour 1 litre of water inside the salt container and then fill
with salt.
5. Fill the rinse aid dispenser.
6. Run a "Rinse and Hold" programme.
Setting the water softener
The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener designed to
remove minerals and salts from the water supply, which would
have a detrimental or adverse effect on the operation of the
appliance.
The higher the content of these salts, the harder your water is.
Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, German
degrees, French degrees and PPM (parts per Million).
The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of
the water in your area. Your local Water Authority can advise
you on the hardness of the water in your area.
The dishwasher is factory set at level 2.
If this level is not suitable for your area the softener should be
adjusted.
If your water is below level 1 it is already soft and
therefore there is no need to use salt.
In this case adjust the water softener on level 1 without
using salt.
Only use salt specifically designed for use in
dishwashers.
All other types of salt not specifically designed for use in
a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water
softener.
Only fill with salt just before starting one of the washing
programmes (not the "Rinse and Hold" programme).
This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which
may have been spilt, remaining on the bottom of the
machine for any period of time, which may cause
corrosion.
To fill:
1. Open the door, remove the lower basket and unscrew the
cap of the salt container.

2. Pour 1 litre of water inside the container (this is necessary
only before filling with
salt for the first time).
4. Replace the cap making
sure that there is no trace
of salt on the screw thread
or on the gasket.
5. Screw on the cap tightly.
To adjust the water softener
With a screwdriver turn the selector on the upper front corner
of the machine until the level required corresponds with the
marker.
The salt cap has a refill
indicator window in the
centre.
A green float is clearly visible
when there is salt inside the
container and almost
disappears when the salt has
finished reminding you to add
salt.

Do not worry if water over flows from the unit when filling with
salt, this is quite normal.

Rinse aid
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring
thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying. The
dispenser, which is positioned inside the door, holds about 110
ml of rinse aid, which is sufficient for 16 - 40 dishwashing
programmes, depending upon the dosage setting.
Rinse aid can be added in one of two ways:
●
If you are using dishwasher detergent that already contains
rinse aid, the detergent including the rinse aid is placed in
the detergent compartment.
- In this case the rinse aid compartment must be empty.
If in the rinse aid dispenser there is still rinse aid you
must wait until it has finished before using detergent that
contains rinse aid.
●
If you are using dishwasher detergent and rinse aid
separately, the rinse aid is to be put into the rinse aid
dispenser.
- In this case the rinse aid dosage must be set in position
from 1 to 6 (see "Adjusting the dose").
Filling with rinse aid
1. Open the container by turning the lid (A) anticlockwise.
2. Add the rinse aid until the container is completely full. The
indicator (B) will be completely dark.
BR01
BR03
3. Top up the rinse aid when the indicator (B) becomes clear.
Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill.
Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an absorbent
cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next wash.
Use only branded rinse aid for dishwashers. Never fill the rinse
aid dispenser with any other substances (e.g. dishwasher
cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This would damage the
appliance.
Adjusting the dose
According to the finish and drying results obtained, adjust the
dose of rinse aid by means of the 6 position selector (C)
(position 1 minimum dosage, position 6 maximum dosage).
Increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on
the dishes after washing.
Reduce it if there are sticky
whitish streaks on the dishes.

Loading cutlery and dishes
When loading the dishes and cutlery, please note:
- Dishes and cutlery must not impede the rotation of the
spray arms .
- Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans, etc. with
the opening downwards so that water cannot collect in the
container or a deep base.
- Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one
another, or cover each other.
- To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch.
- Lay small objects in the cutlery basket.
Sponges, household cloths and any object that can
absorb water may not be washed in the dishwasher.
●
Before loading the dishes, you should:
- Remove large left-overs.
- Soften remnants of burnt food in pans
For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery/dishes
are of limited suitability:
are not suitable:
- Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it is specifically
marked as being dishwasher-safe by the manufacturer.
Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or
mother-of-pearl handles
- Plastic items that are not heat resistant
- Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed frequently
- Older cutlery with glued parts that is not
temperature resistant
- Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to discolour
during washing. Left-overs, e.g. egg white, egg yolk and
mustard often cause discolouring and staining on silver.
Therefore always clean left-overs from silver immediately, if
it is not to be washed straight after use.
- Bonded cutlery items or dishes
- Pewter or copper items
- Lead crystal glass
- Some types of glass can become dull after a large number
of washes
- Steel items subject to rusting
- Wooden platters
- Items made from synthetic fibres
Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes.
The cutlery basket
Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a
potential hazard.
Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives
must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket.
Take care when loading or unloading sharp items such as
knives.
The lower basket
The lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates,
salad bowls, cutlery etc.
Serving dishes and large lids should be arranged around the
edge of the basket, ensuring
that the upper spray arm can
turn freely.
Cutlery should be placed in the removable cutlery basket with
the handles facing downwards. If the handles protrude from
the bottom of the basket, obstructing the lower spray arm, load
the cutlery with the handles facing upwards.
Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent them from sticking
together.

The upper basket
Use of detergent
The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates,
saucers, dinner plates of up to 25 cm in diameter), salad
bowls, cups and glasses.
Arrange items on and
underneath the cup rack so
that water can reach all
surfaces.
Glasses with long stems can
be placed upside down in the
cup rack.
Light items (plastic bowls
etc.) must be loaded in the
upper basket and arranged
US64
so they do not move.
Only use detergents specifically designed for use in
dishwashers.
Using no more then the correct amount of detergent
contributes to reducing pollution.
Fill with detergent
Prior to the start of a wash programme. The detergent is
released during the washing phase.
Please observe the manufacturer’s dosing and storage
recommendations as stated on the detergent packaging.
1. Open the dispenser by pulling the catch (D).
The lid springs open.
2. Fill the detergent dispenser with detergent.
The marking indicates the dosing levels:
Min = approximately 15 g of detergent
Max = approximately 30 g of detergent
In case that plates are loaded in the upper
basket:
load them starting from the
rear positions of the basket;
tilting them slightly forwards
and avoiding the front
positions near the door.
US71
Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can
rotate freely.
DE17
3. Close the lid and press until it locks in place.
For all programmes with prewash, an additional detergent
dose (5 g) must be placed over the lid of the dispenser.
This detergent will take effect during the prewash phase
Adjusting the height of the upper basket
If washing very large plates you can load them in the lower
basket after moving the upper basket to the higher position.
Maximum height of the dishes in

Use of "3 in 1" combi detergent tablets
General advice
These products are tablets with combined detergent/rinse-aid
and salt functions.
1. Before using these products you should first check that the
water hardness in your supply is compatible with the use of
these products as per the detergent manufacturers (on the
product packaging).
2. These products should be strictly used according to the
detergent manufacturers instructions.
Do not place the tablets in the tub or in the cutlery
basket as this will result in poorer wash results. The
tablets should be placed in the detergent dispenser.
3. If you encounter problems when using 3 in 1 products for
the first time then please contact the detergent
manufacturers care line (the telephone number is given on
the product packaging).
Special advice
When using combination products, rinse-aid and salt indicators
are no longer useful. It may be helpful therefore to select the
lowest possible setting for water hardness.
For more information please refer to the instruction manual.
If you decide to turn back to the use of the standard detergent
system we advise that you:
●
Refill both the salt container and rinse aid dispenser.
●
Switch the water hardness setting to the highest possible
position and run a normal washing programme without a
load.
●
Readjust the water hardness setting again according to the
hardness of the water in your area.
Concentrated detergent
Based on their chemical composition, dishwasher detergents
can be split into two basic types:
- conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components.
- low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes.
The use of 50°C washing programmes in conjunction with
concentrated detergents reduces pollution and is good for your
dishes; these wash programmes are specially matched to the
dirt-dissolving properties of the enzymes in the concentrated
detergent. For this reason 50°C wash programmes in which
concentrated detergents are used can achieve the same
results that can otherwise only be achieved using 65°C
programmes.
Detergent tablets
Detergent tablets of different brands dissolve at different
speeds. For this reason some detergent tablets cannot
develop their full cleaning power during short programmes.
Therefore please use normal programmes with prewash when
using detergent tablets.

Unloading the dishwasher
Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks. The dishes should
therefore be allowed to cool down before removing from
the appliance.
Leave the dishes in the dishwasher for approx. 15
minutes, with the door ajar, after the end of programme
so that they dry better and will be cooler.
Empty the lower basket first and then the upper one; this
will avoid water dripping from the upper basket onto the
dishes in the lower one.
5. Interrupting a washing programme
Interrupt a washing programme in progress ONLY if
it’s absolutely necessary
Attention! Hot steam may escape when the door is
opened. There is risk of scalding. Open the door
carefully.
● Open the dishwasher door; the programme will stop.
Close the door; the programme will start from the
point in which it was interrupted.
● pressing the On/Off. Press the On/Off push button (in
this case the On/Off indicator light turns off)
Press the On/Off push button again; the programme
will start from the point in which it was interrupted.
When the washing programme has finished, it is
recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and the
water tap turned off.

Maintenance and cleaning
Clean the external surfaces of the machine and control panel
with a damp soft cloth. If necessary use only neutral
detergents. Never use abrasive products, scouring pads or
solvent (acetone, trichloroethylene etc....).
The dishwasher must not be used without filters.
Incorrect repositioning and fitting of the filters will
produce poor washing results.
Cleaning the filters is vital to ensure correct operation of
the machine.
Ensure that the seals around the door, the detergent and rinse
aid dispensers are cleaned regularly with a damp cloth.
We recommend every 3 months to run a 65°C wash
programme without dishes using detergent.
To ensure a correct
working of the dishwasher,
NEVER try to remove the
upper spray arm.
Cleaning the central filter
If residues of soil have
clogged the holes in the
upper spray arm, remove
them with a toothpick.
(After each wash)
Scraps of food may accumulate in the drain filter (A) and
should be removed by rinsing the filter under running water.
To remove the drain filter:
simply pull it out by the handle.
MA33
Prolonged periods of non-operation
Once cleaned, refit the filter by pushing it back to its original
position until it engages.
If you are not using the machine for any period of time you are
advised to:
1. Unplug the appliance and then turn off the water.
2. Fill the rinse aid dispenser.
3. Leave the door ajar to prevent the formation of any
unpleasant smells.
4. Leave the inside of the machine clean.

Installation instructions
Any electrical and/or plumbing work required to install
this appliance should be carried out by a qualified
electrician and/or plumber or competent person.
Water supply connections
This dishwasher may be fed with either hot (max. 60°) or cold
water. Nevertheless we advise you a cold water supply.
A hot water supply is not always efficient with very soiled
crockery as it shortens the washing programmes a lot.
Remove all packaging before positioning the machine.
If possible, position the machine next to a water tap and a
drain.
The dishwasher must not be connected to open hot water
appliances or instantaneous water heaters.
The dishwasher is fitted with safety devices that prevent the
wash water returning into the drinking water system and
comply with the applicable plumbing regulations.
Fitting under a counter
(kitchen worktop or sink)
The water pressure must be within the limits given in the
technical specifications. Your local Water Authority will advise
you on the average mains pressure in your area.
By removing the machine’s worktop, you can install it under a
close fitting sink unit or a pre-existing top, providing the
dimensions of the recess correspond to those shown in the
picture.

The dishwasher features fill and drain hoses which can be
turned either to the left or the right to suit the installation. The
locknut must be correctly fitted to avoid water leaks.
Do not use, for connection, old hoses which have been
used in another appliance.

If the machine is connected to new pipes or pipes which have
not been used for a long time, you should run the water for a
few minutes before connecting the inlet hose.

For making the connection itself, the coupling nut fitted to the
machine’s supply hose is designed to screw onto either a 3/4"
inch gas thread spout, or to a purpose made quick-coupling
tap such as the Press-block.
Proceed as follows:
Remove the machine’s worktop by unscrewing the two rear
retaining screws, pull from the front and slide out the rear
slots, lifting the worktop.
Insert the machine after adjusting height and levelling with the
adjustable feet. When inserting the machine, ensure that the
water inlet and drain hoses are not kinked or squashed.
If the dishwasher is later used as a free-standing appliance,
the original worktop must be re-mounted.
The plinth on free-standing appliances is not adjustable.
Levelling
CA17
Good levelling is essential for correct closure and sealing of
the door.
When the appliance is correctly levelled, the door will not catch
on the levelling spacers on either side of the cabinet.
If the door does not close correctly, loosen or tighten the
adjustable feet until the machine is perfectly level.

Water outlet hose connection
Electrical connection
The end of the drain hose can be connected in the following
ways:
Information concerning the electrical connection is given on the
rating plate on the edge of the dishwasher’s door on the right.
1. To the sink outlet spigot, securing it if necessary with a clip.
Before plugging the appliance into the wall socket, make sure
that:
2. Hooked over the edge of the sink using the special curved
plastic guide provided.
1. The mains voltage and current rating at the site of
installation match the nominal voltage and current rating
given on the rating plate.
3. To a stand pipe provided with vent-hole, minimum internal
diameter 4 cm.
2. The meter, fuses, mains power supply and wall socket can
all take the maximum load required. Make sure that the
socket and plug are compatible without having to use any
type of adaptor. If necessary, have the domestic wiring
system socket replaced.
The waste connection must be at a height of between 30 cm
(minimum) and 100 cm (maximum) from the bottom of the
dishwasher.
The drain hose can face either to the right or left of the
dishwasher
Ensure the hose is not bent or squashed as this could prevent
or slow down the discharge of water.
To isolate the dishwasher from mains, remove the mains plug.
Important!
The plug must still be accessible after the appliance has
been installed.
The sink plug must not be in place when the machine is
draining as this could cause the water to siphon back into the
machine.
In case that the electrical cable has to be replaced, please
contact your local consumer services department.
If you use a drain hose extension it must be no longer than 2
metres and its internal diameter must be no smaller than the
diameter of the hose provided.
Safety standards require the appliance to be earthed.
The manufacture accepts no liability for failure to observe
the above safety precautions.
Likewise the internal diameter of the couplings used for
connections to the waste outlet must be no smaller than the
diameter of the hose provided.

Attention!
Our appliances are supplied with a security device to protect
against the return of dirty water back into the machine.
If the spigot of your sink has a "no return valve" incorporated
this can prevent the correct draining of your dishwasher.
We advise you therefore to remove it.
