Anti-flooding protection
Anti-condensation strip*
EN
To ensure floods do not occur, the dishwasher:
- is provided with a special system which blocks the
water supply in the event of anomalies or leaks from
inside the appliance.
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.
Some models are also equipped with the supplementary
safety device New Acqua Stop*, which guarantees anti-
flooding protection even in the event of a supply hose
rupture.
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.
WARNING: HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE!
Under no circumstance should the water inlet hose be
cut as it contains live electrical parts.
Electrical connection
Before inserting the plug into the electrical socket, make
sure that:
If the salt container is not filled, the water softener
and the heating element may be damaged as a result.
• The socket is earthed and complies with current
regulations.
• The socket can withstand the maximum load of the
appliance, which is indicated on the data plate
located on the inside of the door (see chapter entitled

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.
• 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).
Preventing unpleasant odours
• Always keep the door of the appliance ajar in order
to avoid moisture from forming and being trapped
inside the machine.
2. Remove the cup filter B by exerting a slight pressure on
the side flaps (fig. 2).
• 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.
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
<ood 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.
- ;or 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.
• Do not lean or sit on the open door of the appliance: this
may cause the appliance to overturn.
• 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.
• 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.
;or further information relating to the correct disposal of
household appliances, owners may contact the relevant
public authority or the local appliance dealer.
