Connecting the water outlet hose
Anti-condensation strip*
EN
After installing the dishwasher, open the door and stick the
adhesive transparent strip under the wooden shelf in order to
protect it from any condensation which may form.
Connect the outlet hose (without bending it) to a drain duct
with a minimum diameter of 4 cm. Alternatively, rest it over a
sink or tub; the free end of the hose should not remain
immersed in water.
Advice regarding the first wash cycle
After the appliance has been installed, immediately before
running the first wash cycle, completely fill the salt dispenser
with water and add only then approximately 1 kg of salt (see
chapter entitled Rinse aid and refined salt). The water may
overflow: this is normal and is not a cause for concern. Select
the water hardness value (see chapter entitled Rinse aid and
refined salt). - After the salt has been poured into the
machine, the LOW SALT indicator light* switches off.
The special plastic elbow*
A
makes it easier to find the best
layout: fix the elbow to the wall
securely in order to prevent the
outlet hose from moving and
spilling the dirty water.
The part of the hose marked
with the letter A should be
between 40 and 100 cm above
the ground (see figure).
If the salt container is not filled, the water softener and the
heating element may be damaged as a result.
We advise against the use of hose extensions.

NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the appliance tub.
Adjusting the amount of rinse aid
If you are not completely satisfied with the drying results,
you may adjust the quantity of rinse aid used. Use a
screwdriver to turn the dosage adjuster (F) to one of the 6
pre-set positions (the default position is set to 4):
• If there are streaks on the crockery, set the adjustment
device to a lower number (1-3).
• When the LOW SALT*indicator light on the control panel is
illuminated;
1. Remove the lower rack and unscrew the
container cap (anticlockwise).
• If drops of water remain on the crockery or if there are
limescale marks present after the cycle has finished, set
the adjuster to a higher number (4-6).
2. The first time you do this: fill the water
tank right up to its edge.
3. Position the funnel*(see figure) and fill
the salt container right up to its edge (this should hold
approximately 1 kg); it is not unusual for a little water to leak
out.
Setting the water hardness
Every dishwasher is equipped with a water softener which, by
using refined salt designed especially for this type of
appliance, supplies water without limescale which is then used
to wash the crockery.
4. Remove the funnel* and wipe any salt residue away from the
opening; rinse the cap under running water and then screw it
on, the head facing downwards so as to let the water flow out
of the four cracks which are arranged in a star shape on the
lower part of the cap. (Salt cap with green float*)
It is advisable to perform this procedure every time you
add salt to the container.
This dishwasher offers a setting which helps to reduce
pollution and optimises washing performance in accordance
with the water hardness level in your area. This information can
be obtained from the organisation which supplies your
household with water.
Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly, so that no detergent
can get into the container during the wash cycle (this could
damage the water softener beyond repair).
- Switch the machine off using the ON/OFF button and open
the door.

Cleaning the dishwasher
Cleaning the filters
• The external surfaces of the machine and the control
panel may be cleaned using a non-abrasive cloth
which has been dampened with water. Do not use
solvents or abrasive products.
The filter assembly consists of three filters which remove food
residues from the washing water and then recirculate the
water. They should be cleaned if you wish to achieve the best
results in every wash.
• Any marks on the inside of the appliance may be
removed using a cloth dampened with water and a
little vinegar.
Clean the filters regularly.
The dishwasher should not be used without filters, or if the
filter is loose.
Preventing unpleasant odours
• Always keep the door of the appliance ajar in order to
avoid moisture from forming and being trapped inside
the machine.
• After several washes, check the filter assembly and if
necessary clean it thoroughly under running water, using a
non-metallic brush and following the instructions below:
1. Turn the cylindrical filter C in an anti-clockwise direction
and pull it out (fig. 1).
• Clean the seals around the door and detergent
dispensers regularly using a damp sponge. This will
avoid food becoming trapped in the seals, which is
the main cause behind the formation of unpleasant
odours.
2. Remove the cup filter B by exerting a slight pressure on the
side flaps (fig. 2).
3. Slide out the stainless steel plate filter A (fig. 3).
4. Inspect the trap and remove any food residue. NEVER
REMOVE the wash cycle pump (black detail) (fig. 4).
Cleaning the sprayer arms
Food residue may become encrusted onto the sprayer
arms and block the holes used to spray the water. It is
therefore recommended that the arms are checked from
time to time and cleaned with a small non-metallic
brush.

Precautions and advice
This appliance was designed and manufactured in
Saving energy and respecting the
environment
EN
compliance with current international safety standards. The
following information has been provided for safety reasons
and should therefore be read carefully.
Saving water and energy
• Only begin a wash cycle when the dishwasher is full. While
waiting for the dishwasher to be filled, prevent unpleasant
odours using the Soak cycle (see Wash cycles).
• Select a wash cycle which is suited to the type of crockery
and to the soil level of the crockery using the Table of wash
cycles:
General safety
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible
for their safety.
- For dishes with a normal soil level, use the Eco wash
cycle, which guarantees low energy and water
consumption levels.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance.
- If the load is smaller than usual activate the Half load
option*(see Start-up and use).
• The appliance was designed for domestic use inside the
home and is not intended for commercial or industrial use.
• The appliance must be used by adults only, to wash
domestic crockery in accordance with the instructions in
this manual.
• If your electricity supply contract gives details of electricity
saving time bands, run wash cycles during the periods
when a lower tariff is applied. The Delayed start*button
(see Start-up and use) helps you organise the wash cycles
accordingly.
• The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even in
covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the
machine exposed to rain and storms.
Phosphate-free and chlorine-free detergents
containing enzymes
• Do not touch the appliance when barefoot.
• When unplugging the appliance always pull the plug from
the mains socket, do not pull on the cable.
• We strongly recommend that you use detergents that do
not contain phosphates or chlorine, as these products are
harmful to the environment.
• The water supply tap must be shut off and the plug should
be removed from the electrical socket before cleaning the
appliance or carrying out any maintenance work.
• If the appliance breaks down, do not under any
circumstances touch the internal parts in an attempt to
perform the repair work yourself.
• Enzymes provide a particularly effective action at
temperatures around 50°C, and as a result detergents
containing enzymes can be used in conjunction with low-
temperature wash cycles in order to achieve the same
results as a normal 65°C wash cycle.
• Never touch the heating element.
• To avoid wasting detergent, use the product in appropriate
quantities based on the manufacturer’s recommendations,
the hardness of the water and the soil level and quantity of
crockery to be washed. Even if they are biodegradable,
detergents contain substances which may alter the balance
of nature.
• Do not lean or sit on the open door of the appliance: this
may cause the appliance to overturn.
• The door should not be left open as it may create a
dangerous obstacle.
• Keep detergent and rinse aid out of reach of children.
• The packaging material should not be used as a toy.
Disposal
• Disposal of packaging materials: observe local legislation
so that the packaging may be reused.
• The European Directive 2002/96/EC relating to Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states that
household appliances should not be disposed of using the
normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted appliances
should be collected separately in order to optimise the cost
of re-using and recycling the materials inside the machine,
while preventing potential damage to the atmosphere and
to public health. The crossed-out dustbin is marked on all
products to remind the owner of their obligations regarding
separated waste collection.
For further information relating to the correct disposal of
household appliances, owners may contact the relevant
public authority or the local appliance dealer.
