ways:
G
If possible, position the machine next to a water tap and a
drain.
1. To the sink outlet spigot, securing it to the underside of
the work surface.This will prevent waste water from the
sink running into the machine.
2. To a stand pipe provided with vent-hole, minimum internal

We recommend that this dishwasher is connected to your cold
diameter 4 cm.
The waste connection must be at a height of between 30 cm
(minimum) and 100 cm (maximum) from the bottom of the
dishwasher.
water supply.
For making the connection itself, the coupling nut fitted to the
machine’s supply hose is designed to screw onto either a 3/4"
inch gas thread spout or to a purpose made quick-coupling tap
such as the Press-block.
The drain hose can face either to the right or left of the
dishwasher
Ensure the hose is not bent or squashed as this could prevent or
slow down the discharge of water.
The water pressure must be within the limits given in the
"Technical specifications".Your local Water Authority will advise
you on the average mains pressure in your area.
The sink plug must not be in place when the machine is draining
as this could cause the water to syphon back into the machine.
The water inlet hose must not be kinked, crushed, or entangled
when it is being connected up.
If you use a drain hose extension it must be no longer than 2
metres and its internal diameter must be no smaller than the
diameter of the hose provided.
The dishwasher features fill and drain hoses which can be turned
either to the left or the right to suit the installation by means of
the locknut. The locknut m ust be correctly fitted to
avoid water leaks. (Im portant! NOT all models of
dishwashers have fill and drain hoses provided with locknut.
In this case, this kind of facility is not possible).
If the machine is connected to new pipes or pipes which
have not been used for a long time, you should run the water
for a few minutes before connecting the inlet hose.
DO NOT use connection hoses which have previously
been used for an old appliance.
This appliance has been fitted with safety features which will
prevent the water used in the appliance from returning back into
the drinking water system.This appliance complies with the
applicable plumbing regulations.
Likewise the internal diameter of the couplings used for
connections to the waste outlet must be no smaller than the
diameter of the hose provided.
Im portant!
Our appliances are supplied with a security device to protect
against the return of dirty water back into the machine.
If the spigot of your sink has a "no return valve" incorporated this
can prevent the correct draining of your dishwasher.
We therefore advise you to remove it.
7
Fitting under a counter
(kitchen worktop or sink)
By removing the machine’s worktop, you can install it under a
close fitting sink unit or a pre-existing top, providing the
dimensions of the recess correspond to those shown in the
picture.
Proceed as follows:
Remove the machine’s worktop by unscrewing the two rear
retaining screws, pull the worktop from the back of the machine
and slide out the front slots, lifting the worktop.
Insert the machine after adjusting height and levelling with the
adjustable feet.When inserting the machine, ensure that the
water inlet and drain hoses are not kinked or squashed.
During all operations that involve accessibility to internal
components the dishwasher has to be unplugged.
Be sure that once the appliance has been installed, it is easily
accessible for the service engineer in the event that a repair is
required.
If the dishwasher is later used as a free-standing appliance, the
original worktop must be re-mounted.
The plinth on free-standing appliances is not adjustable.
Levelling
Good levelling is essential for correct closure and sealing of the
door.
When the appliance is correctly levelled, the door will not catch
on either side of the cabinet.
If the door does not close correctly, loosen or tighten the
adjustable feet until the machine is perfectly level.

The water softener
The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener designed to
remove minerals and salts from the water supply, which would
have a detrimental or adverse effect on the operation of the
appliance.
The higher the content of these minerals and salts, the harder
your water is.
Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, Clarke degrees,
French degrees (°TH) and mmol/l (millimol per litre -
international unit for the hardness of water).
The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the
water in your area.Your local Water Authority can advise you on
the hardness of the water in your area.
The water softener must be set in both ways: manually, using the
water hardness dial and electronically, using the function buttons
on the control panel.

Use of detergent
O nly use detergents specifically designed for use
in dishwashers.
Please observe the m anufacturer’s dosing and
storage recom m endations as stated on the
detergent packaging.
Using no m ore than the correct am ount of
detergent contributes to reducing pollution.
Fill with detergent
1. If the lid is closed: press release button (1).The lid springs
open.
2. Fill the detergent dispenser (2) with detergent.
The marking indicates the dosing levels:
20 = approximately 20 g of detergent
30 = approximately 30 g of detergent
3. All programmes with prewash need an additional
detergent dose (5/10 g) that must be placed in the
prewash detergent chamber (3).This detergent will take
effect during the prewash phase.
4. Close the lid and press until it locks in place.
18
Different kinds of detergent
Concentrated detergent
Modern detergents for dishwashers are almost exclusively low-
alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes in tablet
form.
Detergent tablets
Detergent tablets from different manufactures dissolve at
different rates. For this reason, some detergent tablets do not
attain their full cleaning power during short washing programmes.
Therefore please use long washing programmes when using
detergent tablets, to ensure the complete removal of detergent
residuals.
Using 50°C washing programmes in conjunction with these
concentrated detergents reduces pollution and is good for your
dishes, as these washing programmes are specially matched to the
dirt-dissolving properties of the enzymes in concentrated
detergents. It is for this reason that using 50°C washing
programmes in conjunction with concentrated detergents can
achieve the same cleaning results that can otherwise only be
achieved using 65°C washing programmes.
Use of com bi tablet detergents
These products are detergents with a combined cleaning, rinsing
and salt function.
1. Check whether these detergents are suitable for your water
hardness. Follow the manufacturers instructions.
2. Set the "Multi tab" function.
3. Before the start of the washing programme put the tablet
detergent in the detergent dispenser.
NOTE: If the drying results are not satisfactory we
recommend that you:
1. Fill up the rinse aid dispenser with rinse aid.
2. Activate the rinse aid dispenser and set the rinse aid
dosage to position 2.
If you decide to turn back to the use of the
standard detergent system we advise that you:
G Deactivate the "Multi tab" function.
G Fill up the dispensers for salt and rinse aid again.
G Adjust the water hardness setting to the highest setting
perform up to 3 normal washing programmes without
loading any dishes.
G Adjust the water hardness setting according to the
hardness of the water in your area.
G Adjust the rinse aid dosage.
NOTE:When using 4 in 1 or 5 in 1 detergents that
integrate also anti-glass corrosion agent into "3 in 1" formula,
please follow the same indication as given for "3 in 1" detergents.

This programme does not require
the use of detergent.
(1) "Auto" washing program m e
(2) Testing programme for EN 50242 (see "Hints for Test
Centres").This programme, developed for the use of
detergents with enzymes, allows you to achieve, with reduced
consumption of energy the same cleaning results that would
otherwise be obtained only with the 65°C programmes and
conventional detergents.To compensate the lower
temperature, the duration of washing and drying have been
extended.
During the "Auto" washing programme the amount of soil on
the dishes is determined by how cloudy the water is.
If the appliance is partially loaded and the dishes lightly soiled,
the "prewash", "main wash", and "rinse" phases of the
programme are shorter and the water consumption level is
lower.
If the appliance is fully loaded and the dishes heavily soiled,
the "prewash", "main wash", and "rinse" phases of the
programme are longer and the water consumption level is
higher.
(3) The consumption values are intended as a guide and depends
on the pressure and the temperature of the water and also
by the variations of the power supply.
During the "Auto" programme the temperature of the main
wash water is also automatically adjusted between 50°C
and 65°C depending on the amount of soil on the dishes.
The programme duration is visible in the display when the
setting of the programme occurs.

therefore be allowed to cool down before removing from
the appliance.
Empty the lower basket first and then the upper one; this
will avoid water dripping from the upper basket onto the
dishes in the lower one.
Water may appear on the sides and the door of the
dishwasher as the stainless steel will eventually become
cooler than the dishes.
W hen the washing program m e has
finished, it is recom m ended that the
dishwasher is unplugged and the water
tap turned off.
