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 Softener

Always use salt intended for use with dishwashers.
The salt container is located beneath the lower rack and should
be filled as follows:

- 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 intro­ duce 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.

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 anti-clockwise 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 schema:

Detergent

Detergent specifically intended for use with dishwashers must
be used. The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each
wash cycle following the instructions provided in the "Wash Cycle
Table. "The detergent dispenser is located on the inside panel
the door.

Loading the detergent

To open the "A" cover on the dispenser, press the "B" button.
The detergent for the wash cycle should be poured into the "C"
compartment.
After the detergent has been placed in the dispenser, close the
cover and press down until it clicks in place.

Rinse Aid

This product makes dishes sparkle and helps them to dry with­out spotting. The dispenser is located on the inside panel of the
door and should be filled after every 80 wash cycles (or when
the "low rinse aid" indicator light comes on for those models
with this feature).

Loading the Rinse Aid

Regardless of the type of detergent dispenser installed on your
appliance, you must proceed as indicated below when loading
the rinse aid.
To open the dispenser, turn the "C" cap in an anti-clockwise
direction and then pour in the rinse aid, making sure not to overfill.
The amount of rinse aid used for each cycle can be regulated by
turning the "F" dose adjustor ,located beneath the "C" cap, with
a screwdriver. There are 6 different settings; the normal dosage
setting is 3.

Important

Proper dosage of the rinse aid improves drying.
If drops of water remain on the dishes or spotting occurs,
the dosage adjustor should be turned to a higher setting.
If the dishes have white streaks, turn the dosage adjustor
to a lower setting.

The salt container should be filled after about every 10-12 wash
cycles.

To prevent the formation of rust, load the salt just be­fore beginning a wash cycle.

Loading the Dishwasher

GB

Starting the Appliance

GB

Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove the larger
food debris to prevent the filter from becoming 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 be allowed to soak before
they are washed. This will eliminate the need for extra wash
cycles.
Pull out the rack to facilitate loading the dishwasher.

How to Use the Lower Rack

We recommend that you place the most difficult to clean items
on the bottom rack: pots, 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.

- Pots, serving bowls, etc. must always be placed face down.

- Deep pots should be slanted to allow the water to flow out.

- The silverware basket can be doubled (see fig.A) so that only
one section may be used when the silverware load is light. This
also makes space for additional pots and pans and it can also
be placed in the upper rack.

How to Use the Upper Rack

The upper rack is designed to hold more delicate and lighter
dishware, such as glasses, coffee and tea cups and saucers, as
well as 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 the sides of the rack itself (see fig.B).

Starting a wash cycle

After having completed all of the installation steps in the preced­ing paragraphs, turn on the water to the unit, partially open the
door of the dishwasher, and press the ON-OFF button "A" lo­cated on the control panel. The "B" indicator light will come on.
At this point, the appliance is on and ready to be programmed.

Setting and Starting a wash Cycle

Choose the desired cycle by pressing the cycle selection button
"C". Each time it is pressed, one of the cycle indicator lights "D"
will come on in succession.
Choose the wash cycle you feel is most appropriate for the type
of dishes that need washing (consult the wash cycle table con­tained in this manual, especially when first using the appliance).
Close the door and after a few seconds, a short acoustic signal
will sound indicating that the wash cycle has begun and cannot
be modified. If necessary, read the paragraph entitled, "Cancel­ling or modifying a cycle while underway". The end of the cycle
will be signalled by a double acoustic sound, and the indicator
light "D" will begin to blink.

Cancelling or modifying a cycle while underway...

Premise: A cycle that is underway can only be modified if it has
only been running for a short time.

Otherwise, the detergent may have already been used, and the
appliance may have already drained the wash water. If this is
the case, the detergent dispenser must be refilled (see the para­graph entitled, "Loading the Detergent").

To change the cycle currently underway, open the door, press
the "P" programming button and hold it in for about 5 seconds.
Once the cycle has been cancelled, the dishwasher will emit a
short acoustic sound and the relative indicator light will turn off.

If you forget to load some of the dishes...

The wash cycle can be interrupted by opening the door carefully
(in order to avoid being sprayed by hot water). When the door is
closed again, the cycle will automatically restart at the point where
it left off.

At the end of the wash cycle...

The end of the cycle will be indicated by a double acoustical
signal and the blinking of the "D" indicator light. Open the door,
turn off the appliance using the ON-OFF switch and turn off the
water supply to the unit. Wait a few minutes before removing the
dishes so as to avoid handling them while still hot (when they
are more susceptible to breakage) and to get better drying results.

To set a new wash cycle, follow the instructions contained in the
paragraph entitled, "Setting and Starting a Wash Cycle".

-It is important to try and run the dishwasher when it is fully
loaded in order to save on energy. In order to prevent odors
from forming and food from caking onto the dishes, you can run
the hold cycle.

-Choose the right wash cycle: the choice of cycle depends on
the type of dishware, cookware and utensils being washed and
how dirty they are.

How to keep Your Dishwasher in Shape

After Every Wash

After every wash, turn off the water supply to 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.

Cleaning and Special Maintenance

-Use the right amount of detergent: if you use too much deter­gent, the result will not be cleaner dishes, but, rather, a greater
negative impact on the environment.

-There is no advantage in rinsing dishes, cookware and utensils
before placing them in the dishwasher.

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.

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.

Filter Assembly

For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be
cleaned frequently.
The filter efficiently removes food residue from the wash water,
allowing it to be recirculated during the cycle. For this reason ,it
is a good idea to remove the larger food particles trapped in the
filter after each wash cycle by rinsing the "A" semicircular filter
and cup under running water. To remove the filter assembly, pull
on the cup handle in the upward direction. The entire filter as­sembly (made up of the "A" semicircular filter and the "B" fine
filter) should be cleaned at least once a month.
To clean the filter and the fine filter, use a cleaning brush .Then,
reassemble the filter parts as shown in the figures below and
reinsert the entire assembly in the dishwasher, positioning in its
seat and pressing downward.

The dishwasher must never be
used without the filters. Improper
replacement of the filters may re­duce level of the appliance and
damage dishes and utensils.

Cleaning the Spray Arms

It may happen that food particle become encrusted on the spray
arms and block the holes. Check the spray arms periodically and
clean them when needed.

B

Cleaning the Water Inlet Filter

Periodically clean the water inlet filter (see figure) 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.

Troubleshooting

GB

Installation

GB

It may occur that the dishwasher does not function or does not
function properly. Before calling for assistance, Iet us see what
can be done first: have you forgotten 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 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 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

The dishwasher is equipped with a safety system that is able to
detect operating problems and malfunctions. These malfunctions
are signalled by the rapid blinking of one of the "D" program LEDs.
Only in the case where the indicator light for the soak cycle (see
table for cycles) blinks rapidly should you cancel the cycle as
described in the section entitled, "Changing a Cycle while
Underway". Then check to make sure that there is water in the
mains and that the tap is turned on. If the message continues,
call for technical assistance, indicating which message appeared.
If any of the other indicator lights begins to blink rapidly, turn off
the appliance and call for technical assistance, indicating which
light began to blink.

If, despite all these checks, the dishwasher still does not function
and/or the problem persists, contact the nearest authorized 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 unauthorized technicians and refuse to
allow parts to be installed that are not original spare
parts.

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 (screw 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 appliance is
level, it will help ensure proper performance.

Cold Water Connection

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 Fig.1).
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
house's hot water line (centralised system, heating system), as
long as it does not exceed a temperature of 60
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.

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 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 plug ,rather than us­ing adpators or the like as they could cause overheating and
burns.

Caution:

The dishwasher plug must be accessible even when the appli­ance is installed as a built-in unit so that maintence can be done
safety.

Fig.1

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. Use the special plastic support that comes with
the appliance (see Fig.2). The free end of the hose must be at a
height between 40 and 100 cm and must not be immersed in
water.
