Prior to using for the first time
Before using your dishwasher for the first time:
1. Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply
with the installation instructions
2. Remove all packaging from inside the appliance
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
The water softener must be set in both ways: manually, using
the water hardness switch and electronically, using the function
push buttons on the control panel.
If your water is level 1 it is already soft and therefore there
is no need to use salt.
Setting manually
The dishwasher is factory set at position 2.
1. Open the dishwasher door.
Setting the water softener
2. Remove the lower basket from the dishwasher.
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.
3. Turn the water hardness
switch to position 1 or 2
(see table).
4. Replace the lower basket.

Setting electronically
Filling with salt
The dishwasher is factory set at level 5. If it’s necessary to set
a new level, proceed as follows.
Special salt can be added in one of two ways:
●
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 manually be set to 1
and electronically to 1 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 manually be set to 1
or 2 and electronically between 1 and 10 (depending on
the water hardness in your area) to ensure that the
special salt is taken from the salt container only.
1. With the dishwasher switched off, press the On/Off push
button, all indicator lights of the programme push buttons
will illuminate (setting mode).
2. Press simultaneously function push buttons 2 and 3, the
indicator lights of the function push buttons 1, 2 and 3 start
flashing.
SO577
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.
3. Press the function push button 1, the indicator lights of
function push buttons 2 and 3 turn off while the indicator
light of the push button 1 goes on flashing, at the same time
the "end of programme" indicator light illuminates, along
with a sequence of audible signals.
SO578
To fill:
The current level is indicated by the number of flashes and
audible signals.
1. Open the door, remove the lower basket and unscrew the
cap of the salt container by turning it anticlockwise.
Example: 5 flashes + 5 audible signals = level 5
4. To change the level, press push button 1. Each time the
push button is pressed the level changes.
2. Pour 1 litre of water inside the container (this is necessary
only before filling with salt for the first time).
Examples:
if the current level is 5, by pressing push button 1 once,
level 6 is selected.
if the current level is 10, by pressing push button 1 once,
level 1 is selected.
3. Using the funnel provided,
pour in the salt until the
container is full.

4. Replace the cap making
sure that there is no trace
of salt on the screw thread
or on the gasket.
5. To memorise the operation, switch off the dishwasher by
pressing the On/Off push button or wait about 60 seconds
after which the dishwasher will automatically return to
setting mode.
5. Screw on the cap tightly
turning it clockwise until it
stops with a click.

The salt container will require topping up periodically. You are
reminded of this by the salt indicator light on the control panel
which comes on when the salt has finished.
Do not worry if water over flows from the unit when filling with
salt, this is quite normal.
The salt indicator light on the control panel can remain
illuminated for 2-6 hours after the salt has been
replenished, assuming the dishwasher remains switched
on. If you are using salts that take longer to dissolve then
this can take longer. The function of the machine is not
affected.

Rinse aid
Filling with 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 dispenser type B)
1. Open the container by turning the lid (A) anticlockwise.
2. Add the rinse aid until the container is completely full. The
maximum level for filling is also indicated by "max".
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 must be
placed in the detergent compartment.
- In this case the rinse aid inflow must be deactivated.
(See "Deactivation of the inflow of 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") and the rinse aid
indicator light activated.

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:
- Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or
mother-of-pearl handles
- Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it is specifically
marked as being dishwasher-safe by the manufacturer.
- 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.
In case that plates are loaded in the upper
basket:
The lower basket
load them starting from the
rear positions of the
basket; tilting them slightly
forwards and avoiding the
front positions near the
door.
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.

Adjusting the height of the upper basket
UI21
If washing very large plates you can load them in the lower
basket after moving the upper basket to the higher position.
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.

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.
To move to the higher position proceed as
follows:
Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent them from sticking
together.
1. Move the front runner stops (A) of the upper basket
outwards and slide the basket out.
For best results we
recommend you to use the
cutlery grid provided (if the
size and dimensions of the
cutlery allow it).
2. Refit the basket in the higher position and replace the stops
(A) in their original position.
UI71
The upper basket
RC01
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 racks so that water
can reach all surfaces.
For taller items, the cup racks can be folded upwards.
Glasses with long stems can be placed upside down in the cup
racks.
Light items (plastic bowls
etc.) must be loaded in the
upper basket and arranged
so they do not move.
After loading your machine always close the door, as an
open door can be a hazard.

Use of detergent
Use of "3 in 1" combi detergent tablets
Only use detergents specifically designed for use in
dishwashers.
General advice
These products are tablets with combined detergent/rinse-aid
and salt functions.
Using no more then the correct amount of detergent
contributes to reducing pollution.
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).
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.
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.
Fill with detergent
(Detergent dispenser type A)
1. If the lid is closed: press release button (1).
The lid springs open.
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).
2. Fill the detergent dispenser (2) with detergent.
The marking indicates the dosing levels:
20 = approximately 20 ml of detergent
30 = approximately 30 ml of detergent
Special advice
When using combination products, the rinse-aid and salt
indicators are no longer useful. It may be helpful therefore to
switch the rinse aid off - please note that only some
dishwashers have this facility - and select the lowest possible
setting for water hardness.
3. For all programmes with prewash, an additional detergent
dose (5 g) must be placed into the adjacent chamber (3).
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:
DE19
●
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.
DE22
4. Close the lid and press until it locks in place.
Fill with detergent
(Detergent dispenser type A)
1. Open the dispenser lid by pulling the catch (D).
The lid springs open.
Concentrated detergent
Based on their chemical composition, dishwasher detergents
can be split into two basic types:
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
- 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.
3. Close the lid and press until it locks in place.
DE17
DE02
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.
4. For all programmes with prewash, an additional detergent
dose (5 g) must be placed over the lid of the detergent
dispenser.

This is the perfect daily programme, made to meet the needs of a family of 4 persons who only wish to load breakfast and
dinner crockery and cutlery.
(2) Testing programme for EN 50242 (see "Hints for Test Centres). This programme, developed for the use of detergents with
enzymes, allows you to achieve, with reduced consumption of energy the same cleaning results that would otherwise be
obtained only with the 65°C programmes and conventional detergents. To compensate the lower temperature, the duration of
the programme has been extended.

lights will turn off.
The start of the washing programme will occur only once
closed the door, until then it is possible to change the
programme selection simply pressing the push button of
another programme.
Close the dishwasher door, the programme will start
automatically.
Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push
button.
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.

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....).
To ensure a correct
working of the dishwasher,
NEVER try to remove the
upper spray arm.
Ensure that the seals around the door, the detergent and rinse
aid dispensers are cleaned regularly with a damp cloth.
If residues of soil have
clogged the holes in the
upper spray arm, remove
them with a toothpick.
We recommend every 3 months to run a 65°C wash
programme without dishes using detergent.
MA33
Cleaning the filters
The filters in the base of the washing compartment are to a
large extent self-cleaning. Nevertheless the filters should be
checked and cleaned from time to time. Dirty filters will
degrade the washing result.
Prolonged periods of non-operation
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.
1. Open the door, remove the lower basket.
2. The dishwasher filter
system comprises a
coarse filter (A), a
microfilter (C) and a flat
filter (D).
Unlock the filter system
using the handle on the
microfilter, and remove.
3. Turn the handle about
1
/4 a turn anticlockwise
and remove.
Frost precautions
Avoid placing the machine in a location where the temperature
is below 0°C. If this is unavoidable, empty the machine, close
the appliance door, disconnect the water inlet pipe and empty
it.
MA35
Moving the machine
4. Take hold of the coarse
filter (A) by the handle
with the hole and remove
from the microfilter (C).

1. Unplug it.
2. Turn the water tap off.
3. Remove the water inlet and discharge hoses.
4. Pull the machine out together with the hoses.
Avoid over tilting the machine during transportation.
MA36
5. Clean all filters thoroughly under running water.
6. Remove the flat filter (D) from the base of the washing
compartment and clean both faces thoroughly.
7. Put the flat filter back in the base of the washing
compartment.
MA31
8. Place the coarse filter in the microfilter and press
together.
9. Put the filter combination in place and lock by turning the

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.
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.
Remove all packaging before positioning the machine.
If possible, position the machine next to a water tap and a
drain.
Building-in
Water inlet hose with safety valve
This dishwasher is designed to be fitted under a kitchen
counter or worksurface.
After connecting the double-walled water inlet hose, the safety
valve is next to the tap. Therefore the water inlet hose is only
under pressure while the water is running. If the water inlet
hose starts to leak during this operation, the safety valve cuts
off the running water.
Attention!
Carefully follow the instructions on the enclosed template for
building in the dishwasher and fitting the furniture panel.
No further openings for the venting of the dishwasher are
required, but only to let the water fill and drain hose and power
supply cable pass through.
Please take care when installing the water inlet hose:
- The distance between the bottom edge of the safety value
and the floor on which the dishwasher is standing must be at
least 30 cm:
The dishwasher incorporates adjustable feet to allow the
adjustment of the height.
During all operations that involve accessibility to internal
components the dishwasher has to be unplugged.
- The electrical cable for the safety valve is in the doublewalled water inlet hose. Do not immerse the water inlet hose
or the safety valve in water.
When inserting the machine, ensure that the water inlet hose,
the drain hose and the supply cable are not kinked or
squashed.
- If water inlet hose or the safety valve is damaged, remove
the mains plug immediately.
- A water inlet hose with safety valve must only be replaced by
a specialist or by the consumer services department.
Levelling
- Place the water inlet hose in such a way that it is never
higher than the bottom edge of the safety valve.
Good levelling is essential for correct closure and sealing of
the door.
When the appliance is correctly levelled, the door will not catch
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.
Fixing to the adjacent units
The dishwasher must be secured against tilting.
Therefore make sure that the counter it is fixed under, is
suitably secured to a fixed structure (adjacent kitchen units
cabinets, wall).
CS19
Water supply connections
This dishwasher may be fed with either hot (max. 50°) 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.
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.
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.
The dishwasher features fill and drain hoses which can be
turned either to the left or the right to suit the installation.
The water inlet hose must not be kinked, crushed, or entangled
when it is being connected up.
33
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 to the underside of the
work surface. This will prevent waste water from the sink
running into the machine.
Before plugging the appliance into the wall socket, make sure
that:
1. The mains voltage and current rating at the site of
installation match the nominal voltage and current rating
given on the rating plate.
2. To a stand pipe provided with vent-hole, minimum internal
diameter 4 cm.
The waste connection must be at a height of between 30 cm
(minimum) and 100 cm (maximum) from the bottom of the
dishwasher.
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 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.
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.
Important!
The plug must still be accessible after the appliance has
been installed.
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.
In case that the electrical cable has to be replaced, please
contact your local consumer services department.
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.
CS18
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.
