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

Turning on the Appliance

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 not be doubled (see fig.A).

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
basket.

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.

STOP

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.

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 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.

- 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Troubleshooting

It may occur that the dishwasher does not function properly or at
all. 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 houses on and has sufficient pressure;

- the water supply hose is crimped or bent;

- the filter for the water supply hose is clogged.

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]" on page 1,
letters C-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.

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.

Positioning the Appliance

Position the appliance in the desired location. The back should
rest against the wall, 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 left to facilitate proper
installation.

Levelling the Appliance

Once the appliance is positioned, adjust the feet (screwing them
in or out) of the dishwasher until it is 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 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 a prolonged
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°C.
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 for the connection to the cold water line.

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.

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;
The appliance is to be connected to the water mains using
new hose-sets and that old hose-sets should not be reused;
The door should not be left in the open position since this
could present a tripping hazard;
Knives and other utentils with sharp points must be loaded in
the basket with their points down or placed in a horizontal
position.

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.
