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.

Loading the racks  
Before loading the racks, remove all food residues from  
the crockery and empty liquids from glasses and cups.  
After loading the appliance, check that the sprayer arms  
can rotate freely.  
Adjusting the height of the upper rack  
In order to make it easier to arrange the crockery, the upper  
rack may be moved to a higher or lower level. (in models which  
EN  
The height of the upper rack should ideally be adjusted  
WHEN THE RACK IS EMPTY.  
Lower rack  
The lower rack can hold pans, lids, plates, salad bowls,  
cutlery, etc. as seen in the Loading examples.  
Plates and large covers should be placed at the sides of the  
rack, ensuring that they do not block the rotation of the upper  
sprayer arm.  
Never lift or lower the rack on one side only.  
Open the left and right guide rail stops  
and pull out the rack; position it higher or  
lower as required, slide it along the guide  
rails until the front wheels are in place  
and close the stops (see figure).  
Some dishwasher models are fitted with tip-up sections*,  
which can be used in a vertical position when arranging  
plates or in a horizontal position when arranging pans and  
salad bowls.  
If the rack is fitted with Dual Space  
handles*(see figure), pull out the upper  
rack until it reaches its stop point, grip the  
handles at the sides of the rack and move  
it upwards or downwards, then slowly let it  
fall back into place.  
Cutlery basket  
Loading examples for the upper rack  
The type of cutlery basket may vary according to the  
dishwasher model: it may be modular, non-modular or a sliding  
version. The non-modular basket must only be positioned at  
the front of the lower rack.  
The modular basket may be separated into two parts, a solution  
which is recommended when performing a half load wash (only  
in models offering this option), is available in a sliding version  
(positioned at any point on the lower rack by sliding it between  
the fixed or tip-up inserts.  
Loading examples for the lower rack  
- Both versions are fitted with a collapsible sliding system which  
means the cutlery can be arranged in the best possible way.  
Knives and other utensils with sharp edges must be  
placed in the cutlery basket with the points facing  
downwards, or they must be positioned horizontally in the tip-  
up compartments on the upper rack.  
Items which should not be washed in the  
dishwasher  
• Wooden items, objects with wooden or horn handles or  
glued-on parts.  
Cutlery basket positioning examples  
• Items made from aluminium, copper, brass, pewter or tin.

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):

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.  
When necessary, measure out the salt before a wash  
cycle so that any saline solution which has leaked out of the  
salt dispenser is removed.

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).

• Never touch the heating element.  
• Do not lean or sit on the open door of the appliance: this  
may cause the appliance to overturn.  
• We strongly recommend that you use detergents that do  
not contain phosphates or chlorine, as these products are  
harmful to the environment.  
• The door should not be left open as it may create a  
dangerous obstacle.  
• 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.  
• Keep detergent and rinse aid out of reach of children.  
• The packaging material should not be used as a toy.  
Disposal  
• 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.  
• 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.
