Salt
Detergent and Rinse Aid
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 optimise and customise the level of salt consumption
so that it remains at a minimum.
To adjust salt consumption, proceed as follows:
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.
C
A
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 cycle (or when the
rinse aid indicator light comes on for models with this feature).
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" dosage adjuster, 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 adjuster should be turned to a higher setting.
If the dishes have white streaks, turn the dosage adjuster to a
lower setting.
The salt container must be filled when the "low salt" indicator light
appears on the control panel.
To prevent the formation of rust, load the salt just before beginning a wash cycle.
- 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 the 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 scheme:

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 lower rack features fold down tine rows (see fig.A) so that
larger or more pots and pans can be loaded.
- The silverware basket can be doubled (see fig.B) 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.C).
Adjust the upper basket to the higher level and you have more
space to accommodate those taller pans and trays in the bottom
basket.
Shelf
Lean tall glasses and those with long stems against the shelf-not
against other items to be washed.
Place glasses, cups and small bowls on the additional cup rack.
The additional cup rack can be swivelled in or out as required (see
fig.D).
Knife rack
The knife rack clips onto the side of the top basket, giving you the
freedom to wash your large sharp knives separately and out of
harm’s way (see fig.E).

Turning on the Appliance
Starting a wash cycle
- Make sure that the plug for the appliance is inserted into the wall
socket.
- Make sure that the water supply is turned on to full pressure.
- Load the dishwasher (see the section entitled, "Loading the
Dishwasher" on page 5).
- Pour in the detergent (see the section entitled, "Salt, Detergent
and Rinse Aid" on page 3 and 4).
- Turn the knob located on the right of the control panel in
clockwise direction until the number or symbol for the cycle set ting is aligned with the reference mark (see the section entitled,
"Wash Cycle Table" on page 8).
- Press the ON-OFF button, and the ON-OFF light will turn on. At
this point, the wash cycle will begin.
If you forget to load some of the dishes
The wash cycle can be interrupted by pressing the ON-OFF button.
You can then load additional dishes and turn the appliance back
on. The cycle will start where it left off.
At the end of the wash cycle
When the knob stops turning and is aligned with a STOP mark
(see figure), the cycle has finished. Turn off the appliance using
the ON-OFF button, turn off the water supply and open the door
of the dishwasher.
Wash Cycle Adjustment Buttons
Button
This button (see "close-up View - Control Panel" on page 1, letter
"G" ) is used for normal dirty dishes, pots and pans. It is a standard daily cycle.
1/2 load Button
This button (see "close-up View - Control Panel" on page 1, letter "H" ) makes it possible to wash dishes using only the upper
rack if there are not enough dishes for a full load. This will allow
you to save on water and electricity.
Wait a few minutes before unloading the dishwasher to avoid
handling the dishes and utensils while they are still hot and more
susceptible to breakage. They will also dry better.
Cancelling or modifying a wash cycle setting
A cycle that is underway can only be modified if it has 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"
on page 4).
Press the ON-OFF button, and the ON light will turn off. Rotate
the knob in clockwise direction to the desired cycle setting (see
the section entitled: Starting a wash cycle?F. Then, turn the
dishwasher back on using the ON-OFF button.
It can be used before setting any of the wash cycles, except for
the intensive cycles (if included in the wash cycle table ). Please
keep in mind that the amount of detergent should also be cut in
half.
Rapid
This button (see "close-up View - Control Panel" on page 1, letter
"I" ) , when pressed with wash cycle 4 (glassware) make it possible to run the wash cycle at a lower temperature
(50) and eliminates the drying phase.

Energy Saving Tips
Wash Cycle Table
- It is important to try and run the dishwasher when it is fully
loaded to save on energy. In order to prevent odors from form ing 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.
- Use the right amount of detergent: if you use too much detergent,
the result will not be cleaner dishes, but, rather, a greater nega tive impact on the environment.
Moving the Appliance
If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in the 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
sponge will prevent this from occurring.

No Solvents or Abrasive Cleaning Products
To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not
use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. 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 a cleaning product made specifically for 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.

Cleaning and Special Maintenance
Installation
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 C-E ). Check the sprayer arms periodically and clean them
when needed.
A
B
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
ensure correct installation.
Levelling the Appliance
Once the appliance is positioned, adjust the feet (screwing them
in or out) to adjust the dishwasher, making it level. 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 and make 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.
fig.1
Troubleshooting
It may occur that the dishwasher does not function properly or at
all. Before calling for assistance, Let 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 houses 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.
If, despite all these checks, the dishwasher still does not function
and/or the problem persists, contact the nearest authorised service
agent 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 unauthorised technicians and refuse to allow parts to be installed that are not original spare parts.
Installation
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.
fig.2
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 sized 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 adaptors or the like as they could cause overheating and
burns.
