Switching the appliance on for the first time

•If fitting an under sink waste disposal unit, cut out the membrane, bung or blanking plug.

Ensure the drain hose is securely attached, to prevent it coming away while the machine is in use and causing a flood.

Fit hose to waste securely using a “Jubilee” type clip.

Anti-flooding protection*

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.

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.

WARNING: HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE!

Under no circumstance should the water inlet hose be cut as it contains live electrical parts.

Advice regarding the first wash cycle

After the installation, remove the stoppers from the racks and the retaining elastic elements from the upper rack, if any. 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 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 Rinse-aid and refined salt). After the salt has been poured into the machine, the LOW SALT indicator light * switches off.

If the salt dispenser is not filled, the water softener and the heating element may get damaged as a result.

Child safety lock

The control panel lock can be activated when the dishwasher is switched on or when a cycle is in progress using the “Lock” button. Press again to deactivate the function.

Use the SETTINGS button to access the menu. The control panel lock can be activated automatically after 10/30 seconds from the cycle start.
