Cleaning and Special Maintenance
Troubleshooting
It may occur that the dishwasher does not function or does not
function properly. Before calling for assistance, let us see what can
be done first: have you forgot to press one of the buttons or to
perform an essential operation?
The Dishwasher Does Not Start
Have you checked whether:
- the plug is pushed into the socket correctly;
- the power is on in the house;
- the door is closed properly;
- the ON-OFF switch is on ON;
- the water supply is turned on.
 The Dishwasher Does Not Load Water
Have you checked whether:
- the water is turned on and the hose is connected properly;
- the water supply to the house is on and has sufficient
  pressure;
- the water supply hose is crimped or bent;
- the filter for the water supply hose is clogged.
 The Dishes Are Not Clean
Have you put the right amount of detergent into the dispenser?
Is the wash cycle suitable for the dishes you have placed inside the
appliance?
Are the filter and microfilter clean?
Can the sprayer arms turn freely?
The Dishwasher Does Not Drain
Have you checked whether:
- the drain hose is crimped or bent.
Lime Deposits or a White Film Form on the Dishes
Have you checked whether:
- the lid to the salt container is closed properly;
- the rinse aid dosage is correct.
Error messages.
Your dishwasher is equipped with a safety system which is able to
detect any operating anomalies. These anomalies are reported by
one or two wash cycle indicator lights G flashing rapidly.
Take a note of which lights are flashing, turn the appliance off and
call for technical assistance.Tap off alarm
If you have forgotten to turn the water tap on, your appliance will
remind you of this by sounding a few short beeps for a few minutes.
Turn the tap on and your appliance will start up again after a few
minutes. Were you to be absent when these beeps are sounded, the
appliance will be blocked automatically and indicator lights 2 and 3
(wash and rinses) will flash rapidly. Turn the appliance off at the ON-
OFF button, turn on the water tap and wait approximately 20 seconds
before turning the appliance back on; repeat the programming
operations and the selected wash cycle will start up again.
Clogged filter alarm
If the appliance is blocked and indicator lights 1 (pre-wash) and 3
(rinses)  flash rapidly, this means the filter is clogged by large particles
of food residue. Turn the appliance off, clean the filter thoroughly
and reposition it in its seat as illustrated on this page. Then turn it
back on. Repeat the programming operations and the wash cycle
will start up again.
Water load solenoid valve malfunction  alarm.
If indicator light 2 (wash) flashes rapidly, TURN the dishwasher OFF
AND BACK ON AGAIN after one minute. If the alarm persists, first
turn off the water tap to avoid any flooding and then cut off the
electricity supply and call for technical assistance.
If, despite all these checks, the dishwasher still does not function
and/or the problem persists, contact the nearest authorised service
centre and provide them with the following information:
- the nature of the problem;
- the model type number (Mod. ...) and the serial number (S/N ....),
which are indicated on the plate located on the side of the inner part
of the door.
Never call on unauthorised technicians and refuse to allow parts to
be installed that are not original spare parts.
The filter assembly
If you want consistent good results from your
dishwasher, you need to clean the filter assembly.
The food particles are
removed from the
wash water, allowing it
to be recirculated
during the cycle,
filtered perfectly. For
this reason, it is a good
idea to remove the
larger food particles
trapped inside the
semi-circular filter A
and cup “C”after each
wash; to remove the
filter assembly, pull the
cup handle upwards.
All you need to do is
rinse them under running water.
The entire filter assembly should be cleaned thoroughly
once a month: semi-circular filter A + cup C + cylindrical
filter B+ microfilter D.
To remove filter “B”, turn it anti-clockwise. Use a small
non-metallic brush for cleaning.
Reassemble the filter parts (as shown in the figure) and
reinsert the whole assembly into the dishwasher. Position
it into its housing and press downwards.
The dishwasher is not to be used without filters. Improper
replacement of the filters may reduce the efficiency of the
wash and even damage your dishwasher.
Cleaning the Sprayer Arms
It may happen that food particle become encrusted on the
sprayer arms and block the holes (see Close up view
(interior), letters F-I). Check the sprayer arms periodically
and clean them when needed.
Cleaning the Water Inlet Filter
Periodically clean the water inlet filter (see figure 2 under
Installation) located on the outlet of the water supply tap.
After turning off the water tap, unscrew the end of the water
supply hose, remove the filter and clean it carefully under
running water. Then, return the filter to its place and tighten
the water supply hose back into position.

Installation
A
Positioning the Appliance
Position the appliance in the desired location. The back
should rest against the wall behind it, and the sides, along
the adjacent cabinets or wall. The dishwasher is equipped
with water supply and drain hoses that can be positioned
to the right or the left to facilitate proper installation.
Levelling the Appliance
Once the appliance is positioned, adjust the feet (screwing
them in or out) to adjust the height of the dishwasher,
making it level. In any case, the appliance should not be
inclined more than 2°.
If the appliance is level, it will help ensure proper perfor-
mance.
This dishwasher model can be built under a single worktop
(please read the relevant instruction sheet).
Cold Water Connection
This electric household appliance should be connected to
the water mains using the cold water supply hose provided
with the appliance only. Do not
use a different hose. In the
event of replacements, use
original spare parts only.
Connect the cold water supply
hose to a threaded 3/4 (gas)
connector, inserting the small
filter supplied with the
dishwasher and making sure
that it is fastened tightly in place
(see figure 2).
If the water pipes are new or
have not been used for an extended period of time, let the
water run to make sure that the water is clear and free of
impurities. If this precaution is not taken, there is a risk that
the water inlet can get blocked and damage the appliance.
Hot Water Connection
The water supply to the appliance can also be connected to
the houses hot water line (centralised system, heating
system), as long as it does not exceed a temperature of  60°
C.
In this case, the wash cycle time will be shortened by about
15 minutes and the wash efficiency slightly reduced.
The connection must be made to the hot water line following
the same procedures as those for the connection to the cold
water line.Drain Hose Connection
Fit the drain pipe into a drain
line with a minimum diameter
of 4 cm or place it over the
sink. Avoid restricting or
bending it. Use the special
plastic elbow provided (see fi-
gure) to position it in the best
possible way. The part of the
pipe marked with the letter A
should be between 40 and
100 cm above the ground.
The pipe should not be immersed in water.
Attention: The special plastic hose support must be solidly
fastened to the wall to  prevent the drain hose from moving
and allowing water to spill outside the drain.
Electrical Connection
After making sure that the voltage and frequency values
for the current in the home correspond to those on the
rating plate (located on the stainless steel inner door of the
appliance) and that the electrical system is sized for the
maximum voltage on the rating plate, insert the plug into
an electrical socket which is earthed properly (the earthing
of the appliance is a safety requirement mandated by law).
If the electrical socket to which the appliance must be
connected is not appropriate for the plug, replace the plug,
rather than using adpators or the like as they could cause
overheating and burns.
Should the electricity supply cable be damaged, we
recommend that you only contact authorised Technical
Service Centres for the replacement.
