InstallationChoose where you want toinstall your dishwasher, youcan place it so that its sidesor back panel are side byside with furniture or upagainst the wall. Thedishwasher is provided withwater supply and drainhoses, which can bedirected towards the left orright to facilitate appropriateinstallation.

����������Once the appliance ispositioned, adjust the feetby screwing them in or outdepending on how high youwant it and to level it so thatit is horizontal. Make surethat it is not inclined morethan 2 degrees. If theappliance is level, it willhelp ensure its correctoperation.

��� ��������������Connect the cold watersupply hose to a 3/4 gasthreaded connection, takingcare to screw it tightly ontothe tap. If the water hosesare new or have been out ofuse for an extended periodof time, let the water run tomake sure it is clear and freeof impurities before makingthe connection. If thisprecaution is not taken, thewater inlet could getblocked, causing damage toyour dishwasher.

It is strongly recommendedto use a new hose toconnect the dishwasher tothe water supply line, andthe old hose-set should notbe reused. Asking tospecilized shop or anauthorized servicetechnician (see Service).

����������Ensure that the hose is notpushed too far down thestandpipe.If the end of your drain hoseis fitted with ‘retaining flaps’,ensure they are inserted fullyinto the standpipe. This willprevent the pipe fromjumping out duringinstallation and use.

DO NOTDO NOTDO NOTDO NOTDO NOT position thestandpipe near an electricaloutlet.ENSURE that the drain hoseis not kinked and it is routedas shown in the diagram.

The standpipe should havea bore of at least 38mm (11/2”). It should be installed asshown, have a trap fitted andmust discharge into thesame drain system as yourhousehold sink.

It MUST NOT be connectedto a surface water drain.

������������������For under sink drainage:Before connecting the drainhose, remove any internalrestrictions - This willprevent a build up of debriswhich could cause ablockage.Remove any restrictionsfrom the waste spigot andensure that the sealing bungis removed. The hoseshould be routed, such thatit is raised to a minimumheight of 800mm (31/2”).

NOTE: Ensure the sinkoutlet pipe has a minimumdiamtere of 32mm.

1. Untie the end of theGREY drainage hose fromthe rear of the appliance.2. Reposition the ‘HookedEnd Support’ as requiredalong the GREY drainagehose.3. If fitting an under sinkwaste disposal unit, cutout the membrane, bung orblanking plug.

������ �� ���� ��������������“It is strongly recommendedto use a new hose toconnect the dishwasher tothe water supply line, andthe old hose-set should notbe reused”- For your dishwasher to ope-rate correctly it requireswater pressures in the rangeof 6-150 psi (100-1000KPa).Most cold water supplies willbe in this range. NOTENOTENOTENOTENOTE: lowwater pressure will lead toexcessively long fill times orno fill.- Ensure that the new hosesupplied is connected andthe old hose is disposed ofsafely.- Ensure the fill hose is onlyfitted to the cold watersupply.

Your free standing dishwasher can be installed in modern kitchens as follows:

������ to stand next to furniture units or other electric household appliances(Please read the chapter on “Installation” in the instruction manual.)

� � � � � to insert or built-in under the one worktop.Should it be necessary to remove the top shelf of the dishwasher, proceed as follows:– Unscrew the 2 rear screws and then, with a light push forward, let it slide out and remove it (see fig.1)– Discard the polystyrene rectangle.– Open the door and, after unscrewing the fixing screws, remove the 3 plastic plugs used to hook the shelf on (fig. 2)– Glue on the small soundproofing adhesive spongy strip onto the top crosspiece (photo 5) and, after tilting the appliance,glue on another one underneath the base (photo 6).– Straighten up the appliance and adjust the front and back feet by unscrewing them in an anti-clockwise direction toraise the dishwasher to the required height.– Insert the appliance underneath the worktop (fig.3), checking that the inlet and outlet pipes do not get bent or squashed(please read the instructions provided in the “Installation” chapter). - The minimum distance between the sides of theappliance and the side panels of the cabinet must be 2.5 mm at the very least*.– Fix the dishwasher to the upper part of the recess using two self-tapping screws (fig. 4)..–Open the dishwasher door and glue on the two equal-sized adhesive spongy strips on the front edge of the appliancecabinet. Begin from the top without leaving out any spaces and make sure the strips adhere all along the length of theedge. A small part of the spongy strip protruding onto the outside will block any light left between the dishwasher andadjacent cabinets, thus improving the soundproofing.

Warning: - Once the appliance has been installed, the electrical plug and socket should remain accessible.

- If the power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its Technical Assistance Service inorder to prevent all potential hazards. (See Assistance)

- The cable should not be bent or compressed.

- The Company shall not be held responsible for any incidents that occur if these regulations are not observed.- The structure of your dishwasher makes it impossible to fit it under a hob.

Loading your Dishwasher

There are two handles onthe sides of the upperbasket, use these to adjustits height (see fig.C).

What goes into the upperbasket?Place delicate and lightweightdishes in the upper basket:glasses, tea cups and coffeecups, saucers and plates -shallow salad bowls, slightlydirty frying pans and shallowpans.Position lightweight dishes insuch a way as to avoid theirbeing moved by the spray ofwater.The dishwasher can also beequipped with one or two tipup compartments onto whichyou can place mugs and cups,as well as long sharp knivesand serving cutlery.

After loading the dishes,remember to check that thespray arms can turn freelywithout hitting against anydishes.

First of all.Before placing dishes in thebaskets, remove all coursefood remains. This avoidsblocking the filter, whichwould reduce the efficiency ofthe wash.If saucepans and frying pansare very dirty, allow them tosoak before being washed.To make it easier to load yourdishes, pull the baskets out.

How to adjust the upperbasket.The upper basket can be setin high or low position toenable you to organise yourdishes effortlessly.

What can I Wash Items not suitable for the dishwasher:

• Cutlery and tableware made from wood or part wood - They may become faded and unsightly in appearance.• Avoid washing horn handled and bronze cutlery in the machine.• Delicate/decorative glassware and vases, special antique or irreplaceable china - the decorative patterns

printed on these items will not be dishwasher proof.• Plastic objects that are not resistant to hot water.• Copper and Pewter utensils. Aluminium and Silver objects.• Some types of glass can become opaque in appearance after they have been washed too many times in a

dishwasher.• Highly absorbent materials such as sponges and towels should never be placed in a dishwasher.• If in any doubt, check with the manufacturer on items suitability for dishwasher’s.

WARNING: Dishes or cutlery soiled with tobacco ash, wax, lubricating grease or paint should not be put in thedishwasher.

What goes into the lowerbasket?We recommend you place themost difficult dishes to washinto the lower basket:saucepans, lids, soup dishesand plates (a load example isshown in the photo).

• Serving dishes and large lids:place them on the sides ofthe basket.

• Saucepans, salad bowls:must always be placedupside down

• Very deep dishes: placethem obliquely, thusallowing water to run downthem and cleaning thembetter

• Glasses and cups:position them as shown inload example photo.

The lower rack has tip-upsectors (see figure B), so youcan place even moresaucepans and frying pans ormake room for the larger one

Place the cutlery with thehandles at the bottom; if thebasket is the one with sideinserts, then insert the teaspoons one by one into the

Programme ChartSelect the most suitable programme for the type of dishes and how dirty they are. To select the wash programme seethe chart below:

To optimise wash performance and save on energy, try to use the dishwasher with a full wash load. If it takes some time to fill yourdishwasher, use the pre-wash to avoid caked on food and build up of bad odours.

Salt, rinse aid, the right amount of detergent and the correct wash cycle...This is the formula to get the best results and to keep your dishwasher in shape.

If the crockery is only lightly soiled or if it has been rinsed with water before being placed in the dishwasher, reducethe amount of detergent used accordingly.
