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.

Measuring out the refined salt  
In order to achieve the best possible results using a wash  
cycle, make sure that the dispenser is never empty.  
Refined salt removes limescale from the water, thus  
avoiding the formation of deposits on crockery.

cloth.  
3. Screw the lid back on.  
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.  
- Set the SELECT WASH CYCLE knob first to wash cycle 5,  
then to wash cycle 1, then to wash cycle 5 again.

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.

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.
