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.

The Company shall not be held responsible for any incidents that occur if these regulations are not observed

The machine has a buzzer/set of tones (depending on the dishwasher model) to inform the user that a command has been implemented: power on, cycle end etc.

The symbols/indicator lights/LEDs on the control panel/ display may vary in colour and may have a flashing or fixed light (depending on the dishwasher model).

The display provides useful information concerning the type of wash cycle, drying/wash-cycle phase, remaining time, temperature etc etc.

Switching the appliance on for the first time

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 the first washing, 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.

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

Transportation

Unload all crockery from the dishwasher and secure moving parts.

All water remaining inside the appliance should be drained as follows:

make sure that the water tap is open and select the ECO cycle. The cycle will begin. After 5 minutes, end the cycle by pressing the ON/OFF button until you hear a beep and the indicator lights switch off. Wait for approximately 5 minutes before uninstalling the appliance. Shut off the tap and disconnect the inlet and drain hose.

The appliance should only be moved in an upright position, in order to prevent any water remaining inside the appliance from damaging dishwasher components.

Leaving the machine unused for extended periods/ Freezing protection

If the appliance is situated in a location which is at risk of freezing, or if you intend to be away for extended periods of time (e.g. holiday home), empty the appliance completely.

-Carry out the process used to drain all water remaining inside the appliance (see Transportation).

-Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply and shut off the water tap.

-Leave the appliance door ajar.

-When you return, run a cycle while the dishwasher is empty.
