Installation
Positioning the appliance
Positioning 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 dishwasher, making it level. In any case,
the appliance should not be inclined more than 2˚. If the appli-
ance is level, it will help ensure proper performance.
Cold water connection
Connect the water supply hose to a threaded 3/4 (gas)
connector, making sure that it is fastened tightly in place (see
fig.A).
Some models are fitted with an "Aquastop" water supply hose
fig.A
(see fig.B) in which the small filter is already housed in the
threaded end.
If the water pipes are new or have not been used for an ex-
tended 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.
Warning
fig.B
The appliance is to be connected to the
water mains using new hose-sets and
that old hose-sets should not be reused.
Anti-Flooding protection (for some models)
The dishwasher is equipped with a system that stops the supply of water in the event of a problem with the water
supply hose, or leaks within the unit, in order to prevent damage to your home. If for any reason the box
containing the electrical components happens to get damaged, remove the plug for the appliance from the
socket immediately. In order to guarantee that the anti-flooding feature operates properly, the "A" box with water
supply hose must be attached to the water supply tap as shown in fig.B. No other type of connection is acceptable.
The water supply hose must not, under any circumstances, be cut, as it contains electrical parts which are live.
If the length of the hose is not adequate to make a proper connection, the hose must be replaced with one which
is long enough. This hose is available upon request from specialised retailers and service center.

Drain hose connection
Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe with a minimum diameter of 4cm, or let it run into the sink, making
sure to avoid bending or crimping it. If necessary, fit a syphon trap (U-bend) with a connecting piece for
the drain hose (fig.C). The free end of the hose must be at a height between 40 and 100 cm and must not
be immersed in water.
fig.C
Attention:
The connecting piece for syphon trap (U-bend) 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 correct 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 whole cable, rather than using adaptors or the like as they could cause overheating and burns.
Caution:
The dishwasher plug must be accessible even when the appli-
ance is installed as a built-in unit so that maintenance can be
done safely.

How to fill the salt
Salt
The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard water is used in the dishwasher, deposits
will form on the dishes and utensils.
The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses a salt specifically designed to eliminate lime
and minerals from the water.
Loading the salt into the container
Always use salt intended for use with dishwashers.
The salt container is located beneath the lower rack and should be filled as follows:
For DW15-PFE1**
According to the “Water Hardness Tabel”, you can calcu-
late the time of use , then load the salt .
Remove the lower rack and then unscrew and remove
the cap from the salt container.
If you are filling the container for the first time, fill it with
water.
Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and
introduce about 2 kg of salt. It is normal for a small amount
of water to come out of the salt container.
Carefully screw the cap back on.
For DW15-PFE2**
When the low salt indicator “1” lights, you must fill the salt.
Remove the lower rack and then unscrew and remove
the cap from the salt container;
If you are filling the container for the first time, fill it with
water;
Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and
introduce about 2 kg of salt. It is normal for a small amount
1
of water to come out of the salt container.
Carefully screw the cap back on.
Important
To prevent the formation of rust, load the salt just before beginning a
wash cycle.

Adjusting salt consumption
The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjusting the amount
of salt consumed based on the hardness of the water used.
This is intended to optimize and customize the level of salt
consumption so that it remains at a minimum.
To adjust salt consumption, proceed as follows:
Unscrew the cap from the salt container;
There is a ring on the container with an arrow on it (see
figure to the side),
If necessary, rotate the ring in an anticlockwise direction
from the "-" setting towards the "+" sign, based on the
hardness of the water being used.
It is recommended that adjustments be made in accordance with the following table:

Not suitable for the dishwasher
What you should not put into the dishwasher
Cutlery and tableware manufactured in whole or part from wood.They become faded and unsightly in
appearance.Furthermore,the adhesives that are used are not suitable for the temperature that occur
inside the dishwasher.Delicate decorative glassware and vases,special antique or irreplaceable china.
The decorative patterns on such items will not be dishwasher-proof.
Plastic objects that are not resistant to hot water, copper and pewter utensils are also not suitable.
Decorative patterns printed or painted onto the surface of crockery, glasses, etc.,aluminium and silver
items tend to become discoloured or faded if washed in the diswasher. Some types of glass can become
opaque in appearance after they have been washed many times in a dishwasher. Highly absorbent
materials, such as sponges and towels,should never be placed in the dishwasher.
Our recommendation
In future, only purchase table or kitchenware that has been confirmed as being dishwasher-proof.
Important
Dishes or cutlery that have been soiled by tobacco ash, wax,
Iubricating grease or paint, should not be put in the dishwasher.
Damage to glassware and other dishes
Possible causes
type of glass or manufacturing process
chemical composition of detergent
water temperature and duration of dishwasher programme.
Suggested remedy
Use glassware or porcelain dishes that have been marked ‘dishwasher-proof’ by the manufacture.
Use a mild detergent that is described as ‘kind to dishes’. If necessary, seek further information from
detergent manufacturers.
Select a programme with a low temperature and a short duration as possible.
To prevent damage, take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher as soon as possible after the
programme has ended.

Arranging crockery, glasses, etc. in the dishwasher
Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove larger food particles to prevent the filter from be-
coming clogged, which results in reduced performance.
If the pots and pans have baked-on food that is extremely hard to remove, we recommend that they are
soaked before washed. This will eliminate the need for extra wash cycles.
Pull out the rack to load the dishwasher.
How to use the lower rack
Normal daily load
We recommend that you place the most difficult to clean items
on the bottom rack: pots, pans, lids, serving dishes and bowls,
as shown in the figure to the right.
It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the sides of
the racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation of the top spray
arm.
fig.D
Pots, serving bowls, etc. must always be placed face down
(see fig.D) .
Deep pots should be slanted to allow the water to flow out.
Warning
knives and other utensils with sharp points must be loaded in the
basket with their points down or placed in a horizontal position.
How to use the upper rack
The upper rack is designed to hold more delicate and lighter
dishware, such as glasses, cups and saucers, plates, small
bowls and shallow pans (as long as they are not too dirty).
Position the dishes and cookware so that they do not get
moved by the spray of water.
The upper rack can be adjusted for height by using the knobs
located on both sides of the rack itself (see fig.E).
Adjust the upper basket to the higher level and you have
fig.E
more space to accommodate those taller pans and trays in
the bottom basket.

Washing dishes
Programme selection
The most appropriate programme can be identified by comparing the type of crockery, cutlery, etc., as
well as the amount and condition of food remains, with the details contained in the wash cycle table.The
corresponding programme sequence, duration and consumption details are shown in the right half of the
overview. For example:
Use the« normal»
hard.
programme for dishes and utensils which have plenty of food remains stuck on
Earn savings
If only a small number of dishes have been loaded into the dishwasher,selecting a programme that
operates at the next lowest temperature will usually be sufficient.
Programme data
The stated programme data are based on standard operating conditions. The values can vary consider-
ably according to:
different amounts of dishes
temperature of mains water supply
pressure of mains water supply
ambient temperature
fluctuations in mains voltage
machine-related factors (e.g. temperature, water volume,...)
Energy and water consumption is reduced by up to 1/4 when dishes are washed in the upper basket
only.The water consumption values are related to water hardness level 1.
Turbisensor*
*on applicable models
The Aquasensor ia an optical measuring device with which the cloudiness of the water in the dishwasher
is measured. A photoelectric sensor is used to detect the degree of soiling in the water, caused by
dissolved food particals such as egg, fat and rolled oats, etc.

How to keep your dishwasher in shape
After Every Wash
After every wash, turn off the water supply (not necessary for models with “Aquastop” ) the appliance
and leave the door slightly ajar so that moisture and odors are not trapped inside.
Remove the plug
Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the plug from the socket. Do not run risks.
No solvents or Abrasive Cleaning Products
To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning
products. Rather, use only a cloth and warm soapy water.
To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use a cloth dampened with water and a little
while vinegar, or cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.
Moving the Appliance
If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in a vertical position. If absolutely necessary, it can be
positioned on its back.
Seals
One of the factors that cause odors to form in the dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the seals.
Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this from occurring.
The door should not be left in the open position since this could present a tripping hazard.
When You Go on Holiday
When you go on holiday, it is recommended that you run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and
then remove the plug from the socket, turn off the water supply and leave the door of the appliance
slightly ajar. This will help the seals last longer and prevent odors from forming within the appliance.

Important information
Notes on waste disposal
Old appliances still have some residual value. An environment-friendly method of disposal will ensure
that valuable raw materials can be recovered and used again.
When an appliance has reached the end of its working life,unplug it from the mains.Cut through the
mains cable and dispose of it together with the plug.
Destroy the door locking mechanism. This will ensure that children at play cannot become locked inside
and are not exposed to the risk of suffocation.
Your new appliance was protected by suitable packaging while it was on its way to you. All materials
used for this purpose are environment-friendly and can be recycled. Please make a contribution to
protecting the environment by disposing of the packaging appropriately.
Do not allow children to play with any parts of the packaging. There is a risk of suffocation by the
cardboard boxes and the plastic wrapping.
Up-to -date information concerning options for disposal can obtained from your retailer or local munici-
pal administration.
General information
Measures must be taken to ensure that built-under and built-in units that are subsequently re-sited as
free-standing appliances cannot topple over. This can be achieved by bolting the dishwasher to the
wall or fitting it under a continuous work surface which is screwed to the adjacent cupboards.
For Switzerland only:
There are no restrictions on installing the appliance between wooden or plastic walls as part of a fitted
kitchen. If the appliance is not plugged into a wall socket, it must be connected to the mains via a
separator for all poles within the domestic wiring system. This device must have a gap of at least 3mm
between open contacts, in order to conform with relevant safety regulations.
