Safety Instructions INSTALLATION (Technical notes) Please read the instructions in this booklet carefully because they contain important information on how to install, use and maintain your dishwasher safely as well as containing useful tips on how to make the most of it. Keep this booklet safe for future reference. Important: when the appliance is located on a carpet floor, attention must be paid to ensure that there is no obstruction to the bottom vents.
Water connection Connecting the outlet hose The inlet and drain hoses can be directed to left or right. The dishwasher can be connected to either cold or hot water, as long as it is no hotter than 60 °C. Water pressure must be between 0,08 MPa and 0,8 MPa. If the pressure is below the minimum consult our service department for advice. The inlet hose must be connected to a tap so that the water supply can be cut off when the machine is not in use (fig.1 B).
Water softener unit Loading the salt Depending on the source of the supply, water contains varying amounts of limestone and minerals which are deposited on the dishes leaving whitish stains and marks. The higher the level of these minerals present in the water, the harder the water is. The dishwasher is fitted with a water softener unit which, through the use of special regenerating salt, supplies softened water for washing the dishes.
Loading dishes Adjustment of the upper basket If 27 cm to 31 cm plates are normally used, load them onto the lower basket after the upper basket has been placed in its upper position and proceed as detailed below: 1) Turn the front stops A outwards. 2) Take out the basket and remount it in the upper position.

Filling the rinse aid container 4 3 FULL EMPTY dark light The rinse aid container can be found to the right of the detergent container: it has a capacity of about 130 ml (Fig A "3"). Turn the cap (3) anticlockwise and pour enough liquid to last several washes, up to the maximum level shown. Replace the cap. The rinse aid, which is automatically released during the last rinsing cycle, helps the dishes to dry quickly and prevents spots and stains forming. It is always advisable to use rinse aid.
General hints Cleaning and maintenance Selecting the programme This dishwasher offers you a wide range of wash programmes so that you can choose the most suitable according to the type of dishes and how dirty they are. Refer to the PROGRAMME LIST to choose the most suitable programme. The outside of the cabinet can be cleaned with a non-abrasive cleaning agent suitable for a gloss finish. The dishwasher does not require special maintenance, because the tank is selfcleaning.
The water heater element is made of a special stainless steel which after a while may change colour; this does not in any way affect its performance or its working life. Both the door lining and the tank lining are in stainless steel; however, should spots caused by oxidation occur, this is probably due to a high level of iron salts presents in the water. The spots can be removed with a mild abrasive agent; never use chlorine based materials, steel wool, etc.
