elements.
Do not place any heavy objects or stand on the door when it is open. The appliance
could tip forward.
The water inside the dishwasher is not suitable for drinking.
Do not use solvents of any kind inside your dishwasher. They could cause an
explosion danger.
Open the door very carefully if the dishwasher is operating. There is a risk of water

Check packaging and dishwasher immediately for signs of transport damage. If the
appliance is damaged, do not put it into use but contact your supplier or customer
service without delay.
Please dispose of packaging materials properly.
Place the dishwasher and connect it up in accordance with the installation
instructions.
The dishwasher must not be connected to the electricity supply while installation is
being carried out.
Ensure that the domestic wiring is properly earthed.
The mains electricity supply must conform to the details shown on the dishwasher
nameplate.
Do not connect the dishwasher to the electricity supply via an extension cable.
Built-under and built-in appliances should always be installed under a continuous
work surface which is attached to the adjacent cupboards, in order to ensure that the
appliance is entirely stable.
After the appliance has been installed,the mains plug should still be easily
accessible.
The plastic housing on the water inlet contains an electrically operated valve.The
connecting wires are inside the inlet hose.Do not cut through this hose and do not
immerse the plastic housing in water. During installation, the power supply cord must
not be excessively or dangerously bent or flattened.
For Switzerland only:
There are no restrictions on installing the appliance between wooden or plastic walls
as part of a fitted kitchen. If the appliance is not plugged into a wall socket, it must
be connected to the mains via a separator for all poles within the domestic wiring
system. This device must have a gap of at least 3mm between open contacts, in
order to conform with relevant safety regulations.

Cold water connection
Connect the water supply hose to a threaded 3/4 (gas)
connector, making sure that it is fastened tightly in place
(see fig.A).
Some models are fitted with an "Aquastop" water supply
hose (see fig.B) in which the small filter is already
housed in the threaded end.
If the water pipes are new or have not been used for
an extended period of time, let the water run to make
sure that the water is clear and free of impurities. If this
precaution is not taken, there is a risk that the water
inlet can get blocked and damage the appliance.
Positioning the appliance
Change the appliance in the desired location. The back should rest against the wall
behind it, and the sides, along the adjacent cabinets or wall. The dishwasher is
equipped with water supply and drain hoses that can be positioned to the right or the
left to facilitate proper installation.
Anti-Flooding protection
If dishwasher is equipped with a system that stops the supply of water in the event
of a problem with the water supply hose, or leaks within the unit, in order to prevent
damage to your home. If for any reason the box containing the electrical components
happens to get damaged, remove the plug for the appliance from the socket
immediately. In order to guarantee that the anti-flooding feature operates properly, the
"A" box with water supply hose must be attached to the water supply tap as shown in
fig.B. No other type of connection is acceptable.The water supply hose must not, under
any circumstances, be cut, as it contains electrical parts which are live. If the length
of the hose is not adequate to make a proper connection, the hose must be replaced
with one which is long enough. This hose is available upon request from specialised
retailers and service center.
Levelling the appliance
Once the appliance is positioned, adjust the feet (screwing them in or out) to adjust
the dishwasher, making it level. In any case, the appliance should not be inclined more
than 2˚. If the appliance is levelled, it will help ensure proper performance.
Installation
Warning
The appliance is to be connected to the water mains using new hose-sets
and that old hose-sets should not be reused.

Drain hose connection
Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe with a minimum diameter of 4cm, or let it run into
the sink, making sure to avoid bending or crimping it. If necessary, fit a syphon trap
(U-bend) with a connecting piece for the drain hose (fig.C). The free end of the hose
must be at a height between 40 and 100 cm and must not be immersed in water.
fig.C
Attention:
The connecting piece for syphon trap (U-bend) must be solidly fastened
to the wall to prevent the drain hose from moving and allowing water to
spill outside the drain.
Electrical Connection
After making sure that the voltage and frequency values for the current in the home
correspond to those on the rating plate (located on the stainless steel inner door of
the appliance) and that the electrical system is correct for the maximum voltage on
the rating plate, insert the plug into an electrical socket which is earthed properly (the
earthing of the appliance is a safety requirement mandated by law).
If the electrical socket to which the appliance must be connected is not appropriate for
the plug, replace the whole cable, rather than using adaptors or the similar like as they
could cause overheating and burns.
Caution:
The dishwasher plug must be accessible even when the appliance is
installed as a built-in unit so that maintenance can be done safely.

How to fill the salt
7
en
Salt
The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard water is used in the
dishwasher, deposits will form on the dishes and utensils.
The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses a salt specifically designed
to eliminate lime and minerals from the water.
Loading the salt into the container
Always use salt intended for use with dishwashers.
The salt container is located beneath the lower rack and should be filled as follows:
When the low salt indicator “H” lights, you must
fill the salt.
Remove the lower rack and then unscrew and
remove the cap from the salt container;
If you are filling the container for the first time, fill
it with water;
Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the
hole and introduce about 2 kg of salt. It is normal
for a small amount of water to come out of the
salt container.
Carefully screw the cap back on.
Important
To prevent the formation of rust, load the salt just before beginning a
wash cycle.
H
Adjusting salt consumption
The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjusting
the amount of salt consumed based on the hardness
of the water used. This is intended to optimize and
customize the level of salt consumption so that it
remains at a minimum.
To adjust salt consumption, proceed as follows:
Unscrew the cap from the salt container;
There is a ring on the container with an arrow on it
(see figure to the side),
If necessary, rotate the ring in an anticlockwise
direction from the "-" setting towards the "+" sign,
based on the hardness of the water being used.
It is recommended that adjustments be made in accordance with the following table:
