SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING !
Knives and other utensils with sharp
points must be loaded in the basket
with their points down or placed in a
horizontal position.
There are certain basic safety rules

which are valid for any domestic
appliance.
Installation
Daily use
Make sure that the plug fitted to the
machine is compatible with the power
supply socket. If it is not, get a suitably
qualified person to fit the correct type,
and to make sure that the cables to the
mains socket are able to cope with the
power rating of the appliance.
This appliance is be designed for domestic

use only.
The dishwasher is designed for normal
kitchen utensils.
Objects that have been contamined by
petrol, paint, traces of steel or iron,
corrosive chemicals, acids or alkalis
must not be washed in the dishwasher.
Ensure that the dishwasher does not

crush power cables.
In general it is not advisable to use
adaptors, multiple plugs and/or extension
cables.
If there is a water softening device installed

in the home there is no need to add
salt to the water softener fitted in the
dishwasher.
Should it be necessary to replace the

supply cord, call the After Sales Service
Centre.
Cutlery is washed best if it is placed in

the basket with the handles downwards.
If the appliance breaks down or stops
working properly, switch it off, turn off the
water supply and do not tamper with it.
Repair work should only be carried out
by an approved service agent and only
genuine spare parts should be fitted. Any
failure to follow the above advice may
have serious consequences for the safety
of the appliance.
Safety
Never touch the appliance when your
hands or feet are wet or damp.
Do not use when your feet are bare.
Do not remove the plug from the mains
supply socket by pulling the mains cable
or the machine itself.
INSTALLATION
(Technical notes)
After unpacking, adjust the height of the
dishwasher. For the dishwasher to work
correctly it must be level. Adjust the feet
so that the machine does not tilt by more
than 2 degrees.
If it you need to move the machine after
removing the packaging, do not try to lift
it by the bottom of the door. Follow the
instructions in the figure. Open the door
slightly and lift the machine by holding
on the top.
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
The hose can be hooked over the side of

the sink, but it must not be immersed in
water, in order to prevent water from
being syphoned back to the machine
when this is in operation (fig. 4Y).
Connecting the outlet hose
IMPORTANT
The appliance must be connected to
the water mains using new hose-sets.
The old hose-sets should not be reused.
The outlet hose should disharge into a

standpipe, making sure that there are no
kinks (fig. 4).
When installing the appliance under a

worktop the hose pipe clamp must be
attached to the wall in the highest possible
position under the worktop (fig. 4Z).
The standpipe must be at least 40 cm

above floor level and it must have an
internal diameter of at least 4 cm.
The inlet and drain hoses can be directed

to left or right.
Check that there are no kinks in the inlet

and outlet hoses.
It is advisable to fit an anti-odour air trap

(fig. 4X).
IMPORTANT
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).
If necessary the outlet hose can be

extended up to 2,5 m, provided that it is
kept at a maximum height of 85 cm
above floor level. The extension pipe is
available from the After Sales Service
Centre.
The dishwasher is fitted with 3/4" threaded

connector (fig. 2).
Connect inlet hose A to water tap B
with a 3/4" attachment making sure that
it has been properly tightened.
If it is necessary, the inlet pipe can be
lengthened up to 2,5 m. The extension
pipe is available from the After Sales
Service Centre.
If limescale deposits or sand are present

in the water, it is advisable to obtain the
appropriate filter, art. 9226085, from the
After Sales Service Centre (fig. 3). The
filter D must be inserted between the tap
B and the inlet hose A, remembering
to fit the washer C.
If the dishwasher is connected to new
pipes or to pipes which have not been in
use for a long time run water through for
a few minutes before connecting the
inlet hose. In this way no deposits of
sand or rust will clog up the water inflow
filter.
INSTALLATION IN FITTED
KITCHENS
Underneath existing work top

(when fitting beneath a work top)
Fitting between existing cabinets
In most modern fitted kitchens there is

only one single work top under which
cabinets and electrical appliances are
fitted. In this case remove the work top
of the dishwasher by unscrewing the
screws under the rear edge of the top
(fig. 6).
The height of the dishwasher, 85 cm, has

been designed in order to allow the
machine to be fitted between existing
cabinets of the same height in modern
fitted kitchens. The feet can be adjusted
so that correct height is reached.
The height will then be reduced to 82 cm,

as scheduled by the International
Regulations (ISO) and the dishwasher
will fit perfectly under the kitchen
working top (fig. 7).
The laminated top of the machine does

not require any particular care since it is
heatproof, scratchproof and stainproof
(fig. 5).
The work top can be easily adjusted to
line it with the top of existing cabinets;
this is done by moving it by 5 mm each
time up to a maximum of 25 mm.
If your water is at level 0, you need not use

any regenerating salt, nor need you make
any adjustment, as your water is soft.
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.
The softener unit can treat water with a
hardness of up to 60fH (French grading)
or 33dH (German grading) through five
different settings.
The degree of hardness of your water can
be obtained from your water supply
company.
According to the degree of hardness of

your water, regulate the softener unit in the
following way:
1. remove the lower rack. Unscrew and
remove the cap from the salt dispenser
located in the bottom of the tub
(fig. A"1");
2. turn the selector screw to the required
position with a screwdriver or a knife.
Regulating the water softener
To adjust it, unscrew the two screws at

the back and fix the top in the position
required (fig. 6).

Loading the salt
IMPORTANT
(Only for first start up)
When the appliance is used for the
first time, after completely filling the
salt container, it is necessary to add
water until the container overflows.
On the bottom of the machine there is a

container for the salt for regenerating
the softener.
It is important to use only a salt that is
specifically designed for dishwasher.
Other types of salt contain small quantities
of insoluble particles which over a long
period of time may affect and deteriorate
the softener performance.
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. Pull out the upper basket;
2. Then grasp the basket from both sides
and lift it upwards (fig. 1).
To add salt, unscrew the cap of the container on the bottom and then refill the
container.
a
b
Dishes that are bigger than 20 cm in

diameter can no longer be loaded onto the
upper basket and the mobile supports
cannot be used when the basket is in the
upper position.
During this operation a little water will

overflow; but keep adding salt until the
container is full. When the container is
full, clean the thread of salt residue and
retighten the tap.
a
b
Salt loading indicator

This model is provided with an indicator light
on the control panel which will light up
when it is necessary to reload the salt
container.
After loading the salt, it is recommended

running a complete washing cycle,
or COLD RINSE programme. The salt
dispenser has a capacity of between 1.5
and 1.8 kg and, for efficient use of the
appliance, it should be refilled from time
to time according to the regulation of the
water softener unit.
IMPORTANT
The appearance of white stains on
dishes is generally an important
sign that the salt container needs
filling.
ADJUST BASKET TO THE LOWER

POSITION:
1. Grasp the basket from both sides and lift

slightly upwards (fig. 2a);
2. Then slowly release into the correct
position (fig. 2b).
N. B. : NEVER LIFT OR LOWER THE
BASKET BY ONE SIDE ONLY (fig.3).
Attention :
it is advisable to adjust the basket before
loading the dishes.
10
11
Salad bowls and plastic bowls may also

be loaded on the upper basket. It is
advisable to block these in place so that
the jets of water do not make them
overturn.
LOADING DISHES
Using the upper basket
A standard daily load is represented in figs. 1, 2 and 3.
The upper basket has been designed to

offer maximum flexibility in use and can
be loaded with up to 24 plates on two
rows, up to 30 glasses on five rows or a
mixed load.
The upper basket is provided with mobile racks hooked to the sides of the
basket which can be regulated in two
positions: upright and lowered. In the
lowered position the racks may be used
for tea and coffee cups, kitchen knives
and ladles. Glasses with stems may be
safely hung on the ends of the racks.
Glasses, cups, saucers and dessert
plates may be loaded under the racks.

F
Using the lower basket

Saucepans, oven dishes, tureens, salad
bowls, lids, serving dishes, dinner
plates, soup plates and ladles can be
loaded on the lower basket.
Soup plates and ordinary plates may be

loaded with the rack in the upright
position. Plates should be loaded
vertically with the underside of the plate
towards the back of the dishwasher with
a space between each plate to allow
water to pass freely.
Place the cutlery in the plastic cutlery

holder with the handles pointing
upwards.
Place the cutlery holder on the lower
basket (fig. 3), making sure that the
cutlery does not get in the way of the
rotating arms.
It is advisable to load plates of the same

size together in order to utilize maximum
basket capacity.
Plates may be loaded in a single row
(fig. 1) or on both rows (fig. 2).
IMPORTANT
The lower basket has a safety-stop
device, for its safe extraction, also
especially useful with a full load.
For loading salt, cleaning filter and for
ordinary maintenance, the complete
extraction of the basket is necessary.
It is advisable to load large plates

(approx. 27 or more cm) slightly tilted
towards the rear to facilitate introduction
of the basket into the machine.

LOADING THE DETERGENT

AND THE RINSE AID
Filling the detergent container
the effectiveness of detergents containing

the built in water softener/salt depends
on the hardness of your water supply.
Check that the hardness of your water
supply is within the effective range given
on the detergent packaging.
Should this occur, we would recommend

using traditional separate products salt,
detergent and rinse agent. This will ensure
that the water softener in the dishwasher
operates correctly.
Please note that on return to the use of
conventional salt, a number of cycles will
be required before the system becomes
fully efficient again.
In certain circumstances use of combined

detergents can cause:
IMPORTANT
It is essential to use a detergent
that is specifically designed for
dishwashers either in powder, liquid
or tablet form.
limescale deposits on dishes or in the

dishwasher;
IMPORTANT
Any problems which arise as a direct
result of the use of these products
are not covered by our warranty.
a reduction in washing and drying

performance.
FINISH gives very good results and can

be easily obtained.
Unsuitable detergents (like those for
washing up by hand) do not contain the
proper ingredients for use in a dishwasher,
and stop the dishwasher from working
correctly.
Since not all detergents are the same the

instructions on the boxes of detergent can
vary. We should just like to remind users
that too little detergent does not clean the
dishes properly whilst too much detergent
will not produce better results and is also a
waste.
Normal wash
The detergent container is inside the door
(fig. A 2). If the lid of the container is
closed, press the button (A) to open.
At the end of every wash cycle the lid is
always open and ready for the next time
the dishwasher is used.
The amount of detergent to be used varies
according to how dirty the dishes are and
on the type of dishes to be washed.
We advise using 20:30 g of detergent in the
wash section of detergent compartment (B).
IMPORTANT
Do not use an excessive amount of
detergent and help limit damage to
the environment at the same time.
CAUTION!
IMPORTANT NOTE ON THE USE OF
COMBINED DETERGENTS
A
If you are planning to use combined detergents
i.e. those with built in salt and/or rinse
agent, we would advise the following:
read carefully and follow the manufacturers
instructions given on the packaging;
some combined detergents, particularly
those with built in rinse agent, provide
best results when used with specific
programmes;
B
16
Filling the rinse aid container
The rinse aid, which is automatically

released during the last rinsing cycle, helps
the dishes to dry quickly and prevents
spots and stains forming.
The rinse aid container can be found to the
left of the detergent container (fig. A "3").
To open the lid, push the reference mark
and, in the same time, pull the tab of
opening.
It is always advisable to use rinse aid that
is specifically designed for dishwasher.
Check the rinse aid level through the
indicator eye (C) which is located on the
dispenser.

Regulating the rinse aid from 1 to 6

The regulator (D) is placed under the lid
and can be turned using a coin.
The recommended position is 4.
The limestone content of the water
considerably affects the formation of
limescale and the drying performance.
It is therefore important to regulate the
quantity of rinse aid to achieve good
washing results.
If, after the wash, streaks occur on the
dishes, decrease the amount by one
position. If whitish spots occur, increase the
amount by one position.

17
CLEANING THE FILTERS
PRATICAL HINTS
The filter system (fig.A 4) consists of:
a central container that traps the larger

particles;
a flat gauze that continuously filters the
wash water;
Before placing the dishes in the

dishwasher, remove any remaining
food (bones, shells, pieces of meat or
vegetables, coffee grounds, skin of fruit,
cigarette ash, tooth picks etc. to avoid
blocking the filters, water outlet and
washing arm nozzles.
a micro filter, located beneath the gauze,

that traps the tiniest particles ensuring a
perfect rinse.
Try not to rinse the dishes before

loading them into the dishwasher.
To achieve excellent results every time,

the filters should be checked and
cleaned after each wash.
If saucepans and oven dishes are

encrusted with the remains of burnt or
roast food, it is advisable to leave them
to soak before washing.
To remove the filter unit, simply turn the

handle anticlockwise (fig. 1).
Place the dishes face downwards.
For ease of cleaning, the central container

is removable (fig. 2).
Remove the gauze filter (fig.3) and
wash the whole unit under a jet of
water. If necessary a small brush can
be used.
How to make savings

If you want the dishwasher to give a
complete wash, place the dishes in the
dishwasher at the end of each meal and
if necessary turn on the COLD RINSE
cycle to soften the food remains and
remove bigger particles of food from the
new load of dishes.
When the dishwasher is full start the
complete wash cycle programme.
How to get really good wash

results
If the dishes are not very dirty or if the

baskets are not very full select an
ECONOMY programme, following the
instructions in the program list.
What not to wash

It should be remembered that not all
dishes are suitable for washing in a
dishwasher.We advise against using
the dishwasher to wash items in
thermoplastic, cutlery with wooden or
plastic handles, saucepans with
wooden handles, items in aluminium,
crystal, leaded glass unless otherwise
stated.
Try to place the dishes in such a way

that they are not touching one another.
If they are loaded properly you will get
better results.
After loading the dishes check that the
washing arms can rotate freely.
Certain decorations may fade. It is

therefore a good idea before loading the
whole batch to wash just one of the
items first so as to be sure that others
like it will not fade.
Pans and other dishes that have

particularly stubborn food particles or
remnants of burnt food should be left to
soak in water with dishwasher
detergent.
With the Self-cleaning Micro filter,

maintenance is reduced and the filter
unit need only be checked every two
weeks. Nevertheless, after each wash it
is advisable to check that the central
container and the gauze filter are not
clogged.
It is a good idea not to put silver cutlery

with non-stainless steel handles into
the dishwasher as there could be a
chemical reaction between them.
To wash silver properly:

a) rinse the silver immediately after
use, especially if it has been used for
mayonnaise, eggs, fish etc.;
WARNING!
After cleaning the filters, make sure
that they are correctly reassembled
and that the gauze filter is properly
positioned at the bottom of the
dishwasher.
IMPORTANT
When buying new crockery or
cutlery always make sure that they are
suitable for washing in a dishwasher.
b) do not sprinkle detergent onto it;

c) keep it separate from other metals.
Useful hints
Make sure that the filter is screwed

back, clockwise, into the gauze, as
poor seating of the filter unit could
have an adverse effect on the
efficiency of the appliance.
In order to avoid any dripping from the

top rack, remove the lower rack first.
IMPORTANT
Never use the dishwasher without
the filters.
If the dishes are to be left in the

machine for some time, leave the door
ajar, to let some air circulate and to
improve the drying performance.

CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
1b
To clean the dishwasher outside, do not

use solvents (degreasing action) neither
abrasives, but only a cloth soaked with
water.
The dishwasher does not require special
maintenance, because the tank is
self-cleaning.
Regularly wipe the door gasket with a
damp cloth to remove any food remains
or rinse aid.
It is advisable to remove limestone

deposits or dirt periodically, by doing an
empty wash; pour a glass of vinegar on
the bottom of the tank and select the
light wash.
If, in spite of the routine cleaning of the
filters, you notice that the dishes or pans
are not properly washed or rinsed, check
that all the spray heads on the rotor
arms (fig. A 5) are clear.
If they are blocked, clean them in the
following way:
WHEN CYCLE IS FINISHED
1. to remove the upper rotor arm, turn it

until it lines up with the stop marked
by the arrow (fig. 1). Push it upwards
(fig. 1b) and, keeping it pushed in,
unscrew it in a clockwise direction
(to reassemble it repeat the same
operation, but turn it anticlockwise).
The lower rotor arm can be removed
simply by pulling it upwards (fig. 2);
After every wash it is essential to turn off

water supply and to switch off the machine
by pressing the On/Off button to the off
position.
2. wash the rotor arms under a jet of water

to clear any blockage in the spray
heads;
1. do an empty wash with detergent in order

to clean the machine of any deposits;
If the machine is not going to be used for

some time, it is advisable to follow these
rules:
2. pull out the electric plug;
3. when you have finished, refit the rotor

arms in the same position, remembering
to re-align the arrow and screw into
position.
3. turn off the water tap;

4. fill the rinse aid container;
5. Ieave the door ajar;
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.
6. keep the inside of the machine clean;

7. If the machine is left in places where the
temperature is below 0C any water left
inside the pipes may freeze. Wait until
the temperature rises above zero and

If the previously described operations

were performed with the door open, the
program will not start until the door is
closed.
Program interruption
Opening the door when a program is
running is not recommended especially
during the main washing and final hot rinse
phases. However, if the door is opened
while a program is running (for example,
to add dishes) the machine stops
automatically.
Close the door, without pressing any
buttons. The cycle will start from where it
left off (if it is necessary, the appliance
will make a short thermal anti-shock
programme before).

) for quick and sure selection;
- the "Auto Memory", function which

saves a program used at least 3
times consecutively so that if you
regularly use the same washing cycle
each time you do not have to
continually set the program thereby
saving time and effort.
If you wish to select an option, press the
option button (the corresponding LED
will light).
IMPORTANT
A running program can be interrupted
without opening the door by
pressing the "ON/OFF" button. In
this case, simply press the "ON/OFF"
button again to restart the cycle from
where it left off.
The option button must be pressed

BEFORE the program starts for the
option to be accepted.
To choose another program, press the
corresponding button (the relevant LED
will blink to confirm the selection).
IMPORTANT
To select the "COLD RINSE" program,
simultaneously press the "RAPID"
program button and "HALF LOAD"
option button (the relevant LEDs will
blink, confirming the selection).

Changing a running program
Program end
The PROGRAM STATUS LEDs will turn
off and the selected program LED (2 LEDs
for the "COLD RINSE" program) will blink
to indicate that the cycle has ended.
Dishes can now be removed and the
dishwasher turned off by pressing the
"ON/OFF" button or dishes can be loaded
for new cycle.
Proceed as follows to change or cancel a

running program:
Hold down the current program button
(with the LED on) for at least 3 seconds.
The program LEDs (except for the
"RAPID" program LED) will blink until all
water is drained (if necessary).
The running program will be cancelled
and the corresponding LED will start to
blink.
Option button
"HALF LOAD" button
IMPORTANT
To cancel the "COLD RINSE" program,
simultaneously hold down the
"RAPID" program button and "HALF
LOAD" option button (the relevant
LEDs will blink to confirm cancellation).
By using this option, it is possible to wash

a smaller quantity of crockery: you should
load only the upper basket for dishes and
place cutlery in the tray in the bottom
basket.
This reduces water and energy consumption and requires a smaller quantity of
detergent.
At this point a new program can be set.
IMPORTANT
This button MUST be set BEFORE the
program starts.
WARNING!
Before starting a new programme,
you should check that there is still
detergent in the dispenser.
If necessary, top up the dispenser.
At the end of the last 3 hours (at the end

of countdown) the 3h LED will stop
blinking and remain on to indicate the
washing phase and the program will start
automatically.
Fault signals
If malfunctions or faults occur when a
program is running the LED that
corresponds to the selected cycle (2 LEDs
for the "COLD RINSE" program) will blink
rapidly.
In this case, turn the dishwasher off by
pressing the "ON/OFF" button. After
checking to make sure the water intel hose
tap is open, that the drain hose is not bent
and that the siphon or filters are not
clogged, set the selected program again. If
the anomaly persists, contact Customer
Service.
If countdown has not ended, whereby

the program has not yet started, it is
possible to change or cancel the delayed
start and select another program or to
select/unselect the option button, proceeding
as follows:
Hold down the selected program button

for at least 5 seconds (the corresponding
LED will start to blink while the set time
LED will stop blinking and remain on).
IMPORTANT
This dishwasher is equipped with an
anti-overflow safety device which will
automatically empty any excess
water should a problem occur.
Press the "DELAY START" button to

set another delayed start time (the
corresponding time LED will turn on) or
cancel delayed start (corresponding time
LEDs will all turn off).
WARNING!
To ensure the correct operation of
the anti-overflow safety device, it is
recommended not to move or to tilt
the dishwasher during operation.
If it is necessary to move or to tilt the
dishwasher, first make sure the
washing cycle is finished and that no
water is left in the tank.
A new program can be set after a

delayed time has been changed or
cancelled (the corresponding LED will
stop blinking and remain on) or an option
button has selected or deselected.

Dishwasher start time can be set with this
button, delaying the start by 3, 6 or 9 hours.
If there is any break in the power supply

while the dishwasher is operating, a
special memory stores the selected
programme and, when the power is
restored, it continues where it left off (if
it is necessary, the appliance will make
a short thermal anti-shock programme
before).
Proceed as follows to set a delayed start:

Press the "DELAY START" button (each
time the button is pressed the start
will be delayed by 3, 6 or 9 hours
respectively and the corresponding time
LED will light).
Program operations
To start countdown, press the selected

program button (the relevant LED will
stop blinking and remain on, while the
set time LED will start to blink).
When a program is running the relevant

LED will remain on and the 3 PROGRAM
STATUS LEDs ("WASH", "RINSE", and
"DRY") will light singularly and in
sequence to indicate the current phase.
If a 9 hour delay is set, countdown will be

displayed by the 6h LED after 3 hours and
the 3h LED after 6 hours.
