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 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 anticlockwise direction from
the "-" setting towards the "+" sign, based on the hardness of
the water being used.
The salt container must be filled when the "low salt" indicator
light (located on the control panel), comes on.
To prevent the formation of rust, load the salt just before beginning a wash cycle.
It is recommended that adjustments be made in accordance
with the following schema:

Detergent and Rinse Aid
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.
B
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.

Loading the Dishwasher
Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove larger food
particles 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 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
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.
- 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.
- Silverware should be placed in the silverware basket with the
handles at the bottom; if the rack has side baskets, the spoons
should be located individually into the appropriate slots. Espe cially long utensils should be placed in the horizontal position at
the front of the upper rack.
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.B).
Adjust the upper basket to the higher level and you have more
space to accommodate those taller pans and trays in the bottom

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 "G". Each time it is pressed, one of the cycle indicator lights
"F" will begin to blink 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 then 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 six acoustic sound, and the indicator
light "F" will turn off.
At the end of the wash cycle
The end of the cycle will be indicated by six acoustical signal,at
the same time the "F" indicator light will turn off. 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.
Setting The Start Delay Time
Open the door of the dishwasher partially. If the "J" button is
pressed (see, Close-up View" Control Panel"). The start time for
the wash cycle can be delayed for 2,4,6,8,10 or 12 hours.
Each time the button is pressed, the "I" light will blink indicating
the length of the delay.
After selecting the delay time, the wash cycle can be set, as
explained in "Starting a wash cycle..." , close the door and at this
point the delay period will begin to count down. During this period the delay indicator light (I) will come on. At the end of the
delay time, the indicator will turn off and the cycle will start.
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 and
press the ON-OFF button "A",follow the instructions contained
in the paragraph entitled, "Starting a wash cycle","Setting and
Starting a Wash Cycle".
To set a new wash cycle, follow the instructions contained in
the paragraph entitled, "Setting and Starting a Wash Cycle".
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, after 30 seconds the cycle will automatically restart at the point where it left off.
NOTE:
a) During the delay period, none of the settings can be modified.
If necessary, they can be cancelled by pressing press the ONOFF button "A" located on the control panel.
b) If the door is opened during the delay period, the clock will
stop the countdown. It will start again when the door has been
closed.

Energy Saving Tips
-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 soak 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 white vinegar, or cleaning
product made specifically for dishwashers.
-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.
Cleaning and Special Maintenance
Filter Assembly
For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be
cleaned.
The filter efficiently removes food particles 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" semi-circular filter
and cup under running water. To remove the filter assembly,
pull on the cup handle in an 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 inset 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 performance of the appliance and damage dishes and utensils.
Cleaning the Spray Arms
It may happen that food particles become encrusted on the
sprayer arms and block the hole (see "Close up view [interior]" ,
letters D-F ). Check the sprayer arms periodically and clean them
when needed.
A
B
Cleaning the Water Inlet Filter
Periodically clean the water inlet filter 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.

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 "F" 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 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.
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.
Never call on unauthorised technicians and refuse to allow
parts to be installed that are not original spare parts.

Installation
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.
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 (UK ONLY)
For your safety please read the following information.
Warning: This appliance must be earthed.
The appliance must be connected to a 220-240 volts 50 cycle
AC supply by means of a three pin socket, suitably earthed and
should be protected by a 13 amp fuse in the plug or a 15 amp
fuse in the consumer unit.
The appliance is supplied with a moulded 13 amp 3 pin mains
plug fitted with a 13 amp fuse. Should the fuse require
replacement, it must be replaced with a fuse rated at 13 amp
and approved to BS1362.
The plug contains a removable fuse cover that must be refitted
when the fuse is replaced. In the event of the fuse cover being
lost or damaged, the plug must not be used until a replacement
cover has been obtained.
If the moulded mains plug is unsuitable for the socket outlet in
your home or is removed for any other reason, then the fuse
should be removed and the cut off plug disposed of safely to
prevent the hazard of electric shock.
There is a danger of electric shock if the cut off plug is inserted
into any 13 amp socket outlet.
