Installation instructions 2. Installation and hook-up Remove the polystyrene basket retainers. Position the appliance in the desired place of installation. The back or sides of the dishwasher may be placed up against walls or other furniture units. If the dishwasher is installed near a heat source, fit the special insulating panel to prevent overheating and malfunction of the appliance.
Installation instructions The dishwasher can also be connected to a hot water supply not exceeding 60°C. Supplying the appliance with hot water cuts down the washing time by approximately 20 minutes, but slightly reduces its effectiveness. Make the connection to the domestic hot water supply using the same procedure described for connecting to the cold water supply.
User instructions 3. Description of the controls 3.1 Upper panel All the dishwasher controls are grouped on the upper panel. 1 ON/OFF button Pressing this button energises the appliance.

User instructions SETTING THE WASHING PROGRAM AND SWITCHING ON To select the most suitable program for the dishes to be washed refer to the table below, which indicates the most appropriate program according to dish type and degree of soiling.
User instructions The washing cycle will not take place if the dishwasher door is left open or not properly closed. TABLE FOR CERTIFICATION BODIES Reference standard Reference program Load Type of detergent Amount of detergent Rinse aid setting EN 50242 BIO 9 place-settings B 25 g Depending on the model 3/4 or 4/6 EN 50242 The upper basket must be set in the low position. 3.2 Washing programs Before starting a washing program make sure that: • The water supply tap is open.
User instructions CANCELLING THE CURRENT PROGRAM • To cancel the currently selected program, open the door and hold down the PROGRAM SELECTION (3) button for a few seconds until the indicator lights for programs 4 and 5 illuminate simultaneously. • • Close the door. After approximately 1 minute the dishwasher will advance to the end of cycle. CHANGING THE PROGRAM To change the program in progress, simply open the door and select a new program.
User instructions TO SAVE ON ENERGY! … AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT • • • • • • Always try to run the dishwasher fully loaded. Do not wash the dishes in running water. Use the washing program that is most appropriate for each type of load. Do not carry out any preliminary rinsing. If available, connect the dishwasher to a hot water supply up to 60°C. When possible, skip the drying cycle by leaving the door open when the washing cycle is complete; the air and the residual heat will dry the dishes perfectly.
User instructions 4. Operating instructions Once the dishwasher has been correctly installed, prepare for use as follows: • • • Adjust the water softening system; Add the regenerating salt; Add the rinse aid and detergent. 4.1 Using the water softening system The amount of scale contained in the water (water hardness index) can cause whitish staining on the dry dishes, which tend to become dull over time.
User instructions • Do not use table salt as it contains insoluble substances which, over time, may damage the water softening system. • When necessary, refill the regenerating salt container before starting the washing program. In this way, the excess saline solution will be immediately removed by the water; the prolonged presence of salt water inside the tank may lead to corrosion.

User instructions ADDING THE RINSE AID The rinse aid helps the dishes dry faster and prevents the formation of scale deposits and staining; it is automatically added to the water during the final rinse cycle, from the container situated on the inner side of the door. To add rinse aid: • Open the door. • Rotate the container cap anticlockwise by ¼ of a turn and remove it. • Add the rinse aid until the container is full (approximately 140 cc).
User instructions ADDING THE DETERGENT To open the detergent dispenser cap, lightly press the button P. Add the detergent and close the cap carefully. During the washing cycle, the dispenser will be opened automatically. 46 • When a INTENSIVE program is selected, in addition to the normal dose of detergent, it is necessary to add an additional amount inside compartment G or H. • Use only detergents specially formulated for dishwashers.
User instructions • The market offers liquid and powder detergents with differing chemical compositions, which may contain phosphates, or be phosphate-free but contain natural enzymes. - Detergents containing phosphates are more effective against grease and starch at temperatures above 60°C. - Enzyme detergents, on the other hand, are also effective at lower temperatures (from 40 to 55°C) and are more easily biodegradable.
User instructions 4.3 General warnings and recommendations Before using the dishwasher for the first time, it is advisable to read the following recommendations concerning dish types to be washed and their loading. There are generally no constraints on the washing of domestic dishes, but in certain cases it is necessary to take their characteristics into account. Before loading the dishes into the baskets it is necessary to: • remove coarse food remains: e.g. bones, fish-bones, etc.
User instructions Items which are not dishwasher-safe: • • • • • • • • Wooden dishes, pots or pans: these may be damaged by the high washing temperatures. Handcrafted items: these are rarely suitable for washing in a dishwasher. The relatively high water temperatures and the detergents used may damage them. Plastic dishes: these are not heat resistant and may lose their shape. Heat resistant plastic dishes must be washed in the upper basket.
User instructions 4.4 Using the baskets The dishwasher has a capacity of 9 place-settings, including serving dishes. LOWER BASKET The lower basket receives the full force of the lower spray arm, and should therefore be used for the “toughest” items with a heavier degree of soiling. All types and combinations of loads are permitted, provided that the dishes, pots and pans are arranged with all the soiled surfaces exposed to the water jets coming from the bottom.
User instructions CUTLERY BASKET The cutlery should be arranged in an orderly manner inside the basket, with the handles pointing downwards. Take care during loading to avoid injury from the knife blades. The basket is suitable for all types of cutlery, except those long enough to interfere with the upper spray arm. Ladles, wooden spoons and cooking knives can be placed in the upper basket, making sure that the knife blades do not protrude from the basket.
User instructions LOADING THE UPPER BASKET Load the dishes with the top side facing forwards; cups and concave containers should always be loaded with the opening facing down. The left side of the basket can be loaded with cups and glasses on two levels. On the right plates and saucers can be slotted verticalli into the forks.
User instructions 5. Cleaning and maintenance Before carrying out any work, always disconnect the appliance from the electrical power supply. 5.1 General warnings and recommendations Avoid the use of acidic or abrasive detergents. Clean the outer surfaces and door-lining of the dishwasher regularly using a soft cloth moistened with water or with a normal detergent suitable for painted surfaces. Clean the door gaskets with a damp sponge.
User instructions CLEANING THE FILTER UNIT • • • The filter H should be periodically removed and inspected, and if necessary, cleaned. To remove the filter, take hold of the handle and turn clockwise, then lift upwards. Then separate parts L and M, and separate the two parts of the plastic filter by pressing gently in the points shown, lifting it upwards to extract it. Remove the centre filter by lifting it upwards.
User instructions BEFORE STARTING THE DISHWASHER AFTER PROLONGED DISUSE: • • • Check that there are no deposits of sludge or rust inside the water pipe: if there are, allow the water to run from the water supply tap for a few minutes. Plug the power cord back into the socket. Reconnect the water intake hose and open the tap again.
User instructions If the dishes fail to dry or remain dull, check that: • • • there is rinse aid inside the special container; the rinse aid dispenser setting is correct; the detergent used is of good quality and has not lost its effectiveness (for example, through incorrect storage, with the box left open). If the dishes show signs of streaking, staining, etc., check that: • the rinse aid dispenser setting is not too high.
User instructions 6. Troubleshooting The dishwasher is capable of signalling a number of faults through the simultaneous illumination of several indicator lights, with the following meanings: FAULT E1 E3 DESCRIPTION The dishwasher’s anti-flooding system has been activated (only for models equipped with the "TOTAL ACQUASTOP” device).
