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*  
makes it easier to find the  
A
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  
If the salt container is not filled, the water softener and the  
heating element may be damaged as a result.

Loading the racks  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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).  
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.  
Loading examples for the upper rack  
Cutlery basket  
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.  
• Items made from aluminium, copper, brass, pewter or tin.  
• Items made from plastic material which is not heat-resistant.  
• Antique or hand-painted porcelain.  
Cutlery basket positioning examples  
• Antique silver. Silver which is not antique may, however, be  
washed in the dishwasher using a delicate wash cycle,  
provided that it does not come into contact with other metals.  
We recommend the use of crockery which is dishwasher  
safe.  
Upper rack  
Load this rack with delicate and lightweight crockery:  
glasses, tea and coffee cups, saucers, small salad bowls,  
saucepans and small saucepans which are not too soiled,  
using the Loading examples as a guide.

Start-up and use  
Starting the dishwasher  
Measuring out the detergent  
EN  
A good wash result also depends on the correct amount  
of detergent being used; exceeding the stated amount  
does not result in a more effective wash and increases  
environmental pollution.  
1. Turn the water tap on.  
2. Open the door and press the ON/OFF button: you will  
hear a short beep and the ON/OFF and wash cycle  
indicator lights switch on for a few seconds.  
3. Measure out the detergent (see below).  
4. Load the racks (see chapter entitled Loading the  
racks).  
Only use detergent which has been  
specifically designed for dishwashers.  
DO NOT USE washing up liquid.  
5. Select the wash cycle in accordance with the type of  
crockery and its soil level (see Table of wash cycles), by  
pressing the SELECT WASH CYCLE button; the indicator  
light corresponding to the selected wash cycle will  
switch on.  
7. Start the wash cycle by shutting the door: after a few  
seconds have passed, a long beep signals the start of  
the wash cycle.  
8. Two short beeps and one long one indicate the end of  
the wash cycle and the indicator light corresponding to  
the wash cycle flashes slowly. Open the door, switch off  
the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button, shut off  
the water tap and unplug the appliance from the  
electricity socket.  
9. Wait for a few minutes before removing the crockery,  
in order to avoid burns. Unload the racks, beginning with  
the lower level.  
Using excessive detergent may result in foam  
residue remaining in the machine after the cycle  
has ended.  
The use of tablets is only recommended for  
models which offer the MULTI-FUNCTIONAL  
TABLETS option.  
To achieve the best results from each washing  
and drying cycle, powder detergent, rinse aid  
liquid and salt should be used.

Measuring out the rinse aid  
5*  
Rinse aid makes it easier for the crockery to dry, as water  
runs off surfaces more readily and therefore does not leave  
streaks or marks.  
The rinse aid dispenser should be filled:  
• When the LOW RINSE AID* indicator light on the control  
panel is illuminated;  
For values between 0°f and 10°f, we do not  
recommend the use of salt.  
* this setting may cause a slight increase in the  
duration of the cycle.  
1. Open the dispenser by turning  
the lid (G) in an anticlockwise  
direction.  
(°dH = hardness measured in German degrees - °f =  
hardness measured in French degrees - mmol/l = millimoles  
per litre)  
2. Pour in the rinse aid, making  
sure it does not overflow from the  
dispenser. If this happens, clean  
the spill immediately with a dry  
Measuring out the refined salt

G
cloth.  
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.  
3. Screw the lid back on.  
NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the appliance tub.  
Adjusting the amount of rinse aid  
The salt dispenser is located in the lower part of the  
dishwasher (see Description) and should be filled:  
• When the green float* cannot be seen by simply looking at  
the cap of the salt dispenser.  
• When the LOW SALT* indicator light on the control panel is  
illuminated;  
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).  
• 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).  
1. Remove the lower rack and  
unscrew the cap of the dispenser (in  
an anti-clockwise direction).  
2. For the first wash cycle only: fill  
the dispenser up to the edges with  
water.  
3. Position the funnel* correctly (see  
figure) and fill the salt dispenser up  
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.  
to the edges (approximately 1 kg); it  
is normal for a little water to leak out.  
4. Remove the funnel, wipe away any salt residue from the  
opening and screw the cap on tightly, so that detergent  
does not leak into the dispenser during the wash cycle (this  
could damage the water softening system beyond repair).  
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.  
- Open the door and switch on the machine by pressing the  
ON/OFF button.  
- Press the P button and hold for approximately 5 seconds;  
two short beeps will sound and the indicator light  
corresponding to the set degree of hardness will flash  
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.  
* Only available in selected models.

Care and maintenance  
Shutting off the water and electricity  
supplies  
Cleaning the filters  
EN  
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.  
• Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle to avoid  
leaks.  
• Always unplug the appliance when cleaning it and  
when performing maintenance work.  
Clean the filters regularly.  
The dishwasher should not be used without filters, or if the  
filter is loose.  
Cleaning the dishwasher  
• 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.  
• 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).  
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).  
• Any marks on the inside of the appliance may be  
removed using a cloth dampened with water and a  
little vinegar.  
Preventing unpleasant odours  
• Always keep the door of the appliance ajar in order to  
avoid moisture from forming and being trapped inside  
the machine.  
B
C
• 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.

Cleaning the sprayer arms  
A
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.

3
The two sprayer arms may both be removed.  
After cleaning the filters, replace the filter assembly and fix it in  
position correctly; this is essential for maintaining the efficient  
operation of the dishwasher.  
To remove the upper sprayer  
arm, rotate the locking ring in  
an anti-clockwise direction.  
The upper sprayer arm should  
be replaced with the holes  
facing upwards.  
Leaving the machine unused for extended  
periods  
• Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply and  
shut off the water tap.  
The lower sprayer arm can be  
removed by pressing on the side  
tabs and pulling it upwards.  
• Leave the door of the appliance ajar.  
• When you return, run a wash cycle when the dishwasher is  
empty.  
* Only available in selected models.

Precautions and advice  
This appliance was designed and manufactured in  
compliance with current international safety standards.  
The following information has been provided for safety  
reasons and should therefore be read carefully.  
Saving energy and respecting the  
environment  
EN  
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).  
General safety  
• The appliance was designed for domestic use inside  
the home and is not intended for commercial or  
industrial use.  
• 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:  
• The appliance must be used by adults only, to wash  
domestic crockery in accordance with the  
instructions in this manual.  
- For dishes with a normal soil level, use the Eco wash  
cycle, which guarantees low energy and water  
consumption levels.  
• The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even in  
covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the  
machine exposed to rain and storms.  
• 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.  
• 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 load is smaller than usual activate the Half load  
option* (see Start-up and use).  
• 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.  
Phosphate-free and chlorine-free detergents  
containing enzymes  
• If the appliance breaks down, do not under any  
circumstances touch the internal parts in an attempt  
to perform the repair work yourself.  
• We strongly recommend that you use detergents that  
do not contain phosphates or chlorine, as these  
products are harmful to the environment.  
• 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.  
• The door should not be left open as it may create a
