Detergent and Rinse Aid....  
Detergent  
Rinse Aid  
Detergent specifically intended for use with dishwashers  
must be used. The dispenser must be refilled before the  
start of each wash cycle following the instructions provided  
in the " Wash Cycle Table." The detergent dispenser is  
located on the inside panel of the door.  
This product makes dishes sparkle and helps them to dry  
without spotting. The dispenser is located on the inside  
panel of the door and should be filled after every 80 wash  
cycles (or when the rinse aid indicator light comes on for  
those models with this feature). .  
Loading the Detergent  
Loading the Rinse Aid  
To open the " A" cover on the dispenser, press the " B"  
button. The detergent for the wash cycle should be poured  
into the " C" compartment.  
After the detergent has been placed in the dispenser, close  
the cover and press down until it clicks in place.  
To open the dispenser, turn the "C" cap in the anti-clockwise  
direction and then pour in the rinse aid, making sure not to  
overfill. The amount of rinse aid used for each cycle can be  
regulated by turning the "F" dose adjustor, located beneath  
the " C" cap, with a screwdriver. There are 6 different  
settings; the normal dosage setting is 2.  
Important:  
B
C
Proper dosage of the rinse aid improves drying.  
If drops of water remain on the dishes or spotting occurs,  
the dosage adjustor should be turned to a higher setting.  
If the dishes have white streaks, turn the dosage adjustor  
to a lower setting.

Loading the Dishw asher  
Bottom Rack  
Upper Rack  
Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove the  
larger food particles to prevent the filter from becoming  
clogged, which results in reduced performance.  
If the pots and pans have baked-on food that is extremely  
hard to remove, we recommend that they be allowed to  
soak before they are washed. This will eliminate the need  
for extra wash cycles.  
Pull out the racks to facilitate loading the dishwasher.  
How to Use the Low er Rack  
We recommend that you place the most difficult to clean  
items on the bottom rack: pots, pans, lids, serving dishes  
and bowls, as shown in the figure to the right.  
It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the  
sides of the racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation  
of the top spray arm.  
Load for 8 Standard Settings (For IEC tests : top  
rack at top position)  
- Pots, serving bowls, etc. must always be placed top  
down.  
- Deep pots should be slanted to allow the water to flow  
out.  
- Silverware should be placed in the silverware basket  
(see figure A) with the handles at the bottom; if the rack  
has side baskets the spoons should be loaded individually  
in the appropriate slots. Especially long utensils should be  
placed in the horizontal position at the front of the upper  
rack.  
Fig. A  
How to use the top rack …  
The top rack is designed to hold delicate and light items,  
such as glasses, tea and coffee cups, and saucers, as well  
as plates, shallow serving bowls, and pans (as long as they  
are not too dirty).  
- Place these types of items so that they are not moved  
around by the spray of water.

How to adjust the top rack ...  
The top rack can be adjusted using the two rack heights  
(top and bottom). To adjust the rack, open up the tabs  
that lock the guides and pull out the rack. Arrange the  
rack with the back wheels in either the top or bottom  
position and then insert it along the guides until the front  
wheels are on as well. Close the tabs to lock the rack in  
place (see Fig. F).

Turning on the Appliance  
Starting a w ash cycle....  
If you forget to load some of the dishes...  
1. Make sure that the plug for the appliance is inserted into  
the wall socket.  
2. Make sure that the water supply is turned on to full  
pressure.  
The wash cycle can be interrupted by pressing the ON-OFF  
button. You can then load additional dishes and turn the  
appliance back on. The cycle will start where it left off.  
3. Load the dishwasher (see the section entitled, "Loading  
the Dishwasher").  
4. Pour in the detergent (see the section entitled, "Salt,  
Detergent and Rinse Aid").  
5. Turn the knob located on the right of the control panel in  
the clockwise direction until the number or symbol for the  
cycle setting is aligned with the reference mark (see the  
section entitled, "Wash Cycle Table").  
6. Press the ON-OFF botton, and the ON-OFF light will turn  
on. At this point, the wash cycle will begin.  
At the end of the w ash cycle...  
When the knob stops turning and is aligned with a STOP  
mark (see figure), the cycle has finished. Turn off the  
appliance using the ON-OFF button, turn off the water supply  
and open the door of the dishwasher.  
Wait a few minutes before unloading the dishwasher to  
avoid handling the dishes and utensils while they are still  
hot and more susceptible to breakage. They will also dry  
better.  
Cancelling or modifying a w ash cycle setting...  
Premise: A cycle that is underway can only be modified if it has  
only been running for a short time. Otherwise, the detergent  
may have already been used, and the appliance may have already  
drained the wash water. If this is the case, the detergent dispenser  
must be refilled (see the paragraph entitled, "Loading the  
Detergent").

Energy Saving Tips  
- Use the right amount of detergent: if you use too much  
detergent, the result will not be cleaner dishes, but, rather,  
a greater negative impact on the environment.  
- It is important to try and run the dishwasher when it is  
fully loaded in order to save on energy. In order to prevent  
odors from forming and food from caking onto the dishes,  
you can run the hold cycle.  
- There is no utility in rinsing dishes, cookware and utensils  
before placing them in the dishwasher.  
- Choose the right wash cycle: the choice of cycle depends  
on the type of dishware, cookware and utensils being  
washed and how dirty they are.  
How to Keep Your Dishw asher in Shape  
When You Go on Holiday  
After Every Wash  
When you go on holiday, it is recommended that you run a  
wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and then remove  
the plug from the socket, turn off the water supply and  
leave the door of the appliance slightly ajar. This will help  
the seals last longer and prevent odors from forming within  
the appliance.  
After every wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance  
and leave the door slightly ajar so that moisture and odors  
are not trapped inside.  
Remove the Plug  
Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove  
the plug from the socket. Do not run risks.  
Moving the Appliance  
If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in the vertical  
position. If absolutely necessary, it can be positioned on its  
back.  
No Solvents or Abrasive Cleaning Products  
To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher,  
do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. Rather,  
use only a cloth and warm soapy water.  
Seals  
To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior,  
use a cloth dampened with water and a little white vinegar,  
or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.  
One of the factors that cause odors to form in the  
dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the seals. Periodic  
cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this from  
occuring.

Cleaning and Special Maintenance  
Improper replacement of  
Filter Assembly  
the filters may reduce the  
performance level of the  
appliance and damage  
dishes and utensils.  
For best performance and results, the filter assembly must  
be cleaned.  
The filter efficiently removes food particles from the wash  
water, allowing it to be recirculated during the cycle. For  
this reason, it is a good idea to remove the larger food  
particles trapped in the filter after each wash cycle by rinsing  
the "A" semi-circular filter and cup under running water.  
To remove the filter assembly, pull on the cup handle in the  
upward direction. The entire filter assembly (made up of

and the " B" fine  
filter) should be  
cleaned at least  
once a month.  
Cleaning the Water Inlet Filter  
To clean the filter  
Periodically clean the water inlet filter (see figure 2 under  
" Installation" ) located on the outlet of the water supply  
tap.  
and the fine filter,  
use a cleaning  
brush.  
After turning off the water tap, unscrew the end of the  
water supply hose, remove the filter and clean it carefully  
under running water. Then, return the filter to its place and  
tighten the water supply hose back into position.  
Then, reassemble  
the filter parts as shown in the figures below and reinsert  
the entire assembly in the dishwasher, positioning in its  
seat and pressing downward.  
The dishwasher must never be used without the filters.  
Troubleshooting  
It may occur that the dishwasher does not function or does  
not function properly. Before calling for assistance, let us  
see what can be done first: have you forgot to press one of  
the buttons or to perform an essential operation?  
- the filter for the water supply hose is clogged.  
The Dishw asher Does Not Drain

Installation  
Drain Hose Connection  
Insert the drain hose into a  
drain pipe with a minimum  
diameter of 4 cm., or let it run  
into the sink, making sure to  
avoid bending or crimping it.  
Use the speical plastic support  
that comes with the appliance  
(see figure to the right). The  
free end of the hose must be  
at a height between 40 and  
100 cm and must not be  
immersed in water.  
Positioning the Appliance  
Position 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.  
A
Levelling the Appliance  
Once the appliance is positioned, adjust the feet (screwing  
them in or out) to adjust the height of the dishwasher,  
making it level. In any case, the appliance should not be  
inclined more than 2°.  
If the appliance is level, it will help ensure proper perfor-  
mance.  
Attention: The special plastic hose support must be solidly  
fastened to the wall to prevent the drain hose from moving  
and allowing water to spill outside the drain.  
Cold Water Connection  
Connect the cold water supply hose to a threaded 3/4 (gas)  
connector, inserting the small filter supplied with the  
dishwasher and making sure  
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 sized 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 plug,  
rather than using adpators or the like as they could cause  
overheating and burns.  
that it is fastened tightly in  
place (see figure 2).  
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  
A
fig. 2  
the water inlet can get  
blocked and damage the  
appliance.  
Hot Water Connection  
The water supply to the appliance can also be connected  
to the house's hot water line (centralised system, heating  
system), as long as it does not exceed a temperature of  
60° C.  
In this case, the wash cycle time will be shortened by about  
15 minutes and the wash efficiency slightly reduced.  
The connection must be made to the hot water line  
following the same procedures as those for the connection  
to the cold water line.
