INSTALLATION
(Technical notes)
■ After unpacking, adjust the height of the
dishwasher. For the dishwasher to work
correctly it must be level. Adjust the feet
so that the machine does not tilt by more
than 2 degrees.
■ If it you need to move the machine after
removing the packaging, do not try to lift
it by the bottom of the door. Follow the
instructions in the figure. Open the door
slightly and lift the machine by holding
on the top.
IMPORTANT
When the appliance is located on a
carpet floor, attention must be paid to
ensure that there is no obstruction to
the bottom vents.
Make sure that the plug on the
appliance remains accessible after
installation.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
There are certain basic safety rules
which are valid for any domestic
appliance.
Installation
■ Make sure that the plug fitted to the
machine is compatible with the power
supply socket. If it is not, get a suitably
qualified person to fit the correct type,
and to make sure that the cables to the
mains socket are able to cope with the
power rating of the appliance.
■ Ensure that the dishwasher does not
crush power cables.
■ In general it is not advisable to use
adaptors, multiple plugs and/or extension
cables.
■ Should it be necessary to replace the
supply cord, call the After Sales Service
Centre.
Safety
■ Never touch the appliance when your
hands or feet are wet or damp.
■ Do not use when your feet are bare.
■ Do not remove the plug from the mains
supply socket by pulling the mains cable
or the machine itself.
■ Do not leave the appliance exposed to
the elements (rain, sun etc).
■ Do not let children (or others incapable
of operating it) use the machine without
supervision.
■ Water left in the machine or on the
dishes at the end of the wash programme
should not be swallowed.
■ The door should not be left in the open
position since this could present a potential
hazard ( es. tripping ).
■ Leaning or sitting on the open door of
the dishwasher could cause it to tip over.
WARNING !
Knives and other utensils with sharp
points must be loaded in the basket
with their points down or placed in a
horizontal position.
Daily use
■ This appliance is be designed for domestic
use only.
■ The dishwasher is designed for normal
kitchen utensils.
Objects that have been contamined by
petrol, paint, traces of steel or iron,
corrosive chemicals, acids or alkalis
must not be washed in the dishwasher.
■ If there is a water softening device installed
in the home there is no need to add
salt to the water softener fitted in the
dishwasher.
■ Cutlery is washed best if it is placed in
the basket with the handles downwards.
■ If the appliance breaks down or stops
working properly, switch it of f, turn of f the
water supply and do not tamper with it.
Repair work should only be carried out
by an approved service agent and only
genuine spare parts should be fitted. Any
failure to follow the above advice may
have serious consequences for the safety
of the appliance.
Disposal
■ The dishwasher has been made from
materials which can be recycled so that it
can be disposed of in an environmentally
friendly way.
■ If you wish to dispose of an old dishwasher
be careful to remove the door to
eliminate the risk of children becoming
trapped inside it.
7
Connecting the outlet hose
■ The outlet hose should disharge into a
standpipe, making sure that there are no
kinks (fig. 4).
■ The standpipe must be at least 40 cm
above floor level and it must have an
internal diameter of at least 4 cm.
■ It is advisable to fit an anti-odour air trap
(fig. 4X).
■ If necessary the outlet hose can be
extended up to 2,5 m, provided that it is
kept at a maximum height of 85 cm
above floor level. The extension pipe is
available from the After Sales Service
Centre.
■ The hose can be hooked over the side of
the sink, but it must not be immersed in
water, in order to prevent water from
being syphoned back to the machine
when this is in operation (fig. 4Y).
■ When installing the appliance under a
worktop the hose pipe clamp must be
attached to the wall in the highest possible
position under the worktop (fig. 4Z).
■ Check that there are no kinks in the inlet
and outlet hoses.
4
Water connection
IMPORTANT
The appliance must be connected to
the water mains using new hose-sets.
The old hose-sets should not be reused.
■ The inlet and drain hoses can be directed
to left or right.
IMPORTANT
The dishwasher can be connected to
either cold or hot water, as long as it
is no hotter than 60 °C.
■ Water pressure must be between
0,08 MPa and 0,8 MPa. If the pressure is
below the minimum consult our service
department for advice.
■ The inlet hose must be connected to a
tap so that the water supply can be cut
off when the machine is not in use
(fig. 1 B).
■ The dishwasher is fitted with 3/4" threaded
connector (fig. 2).
■ Connect inlet hose “A” to water tap “B”
with a 3/4" attachment making sure that
it has been properly tightened.
■ If it is necessary, the inlet pipe can be
lengthened up to 2,5 m. The extension
pipe is available from the After Sales
Service Centre.
■ If limescale deposits or sand are present
in the water, it is advisable to obtain the
appropriate filter, art. 9226085, from the
After Sales Service Centre (fig. 3). The
filter “D” must be inserted between the tap
“B” and the inlet hose “A”, remembering
to fit the washer “C”.
■ If the dishwasher is connected to new
pipes or to pipes which have not been in
use for a long time run water through for
a few minutes before connecting the
inlet hose. In this way no deposits of
sand or rust will clog up the water inflow
filter.

* The softener unit is set in the factory
at level 4 (d4) as this satisfies the
requirements of the majority of users.
Regulate the setting of your water softener
unit according to the degree of hardness
of your water as follows:
1. Keep the "DELAY START" button
pressed in and at the same time press
the "ON/OFF" button .
The factory setting "d4" will appear on
the display.
2. To change the setting, press the
"DELAY START" button. Each time you
press that button the setting will increase
by one level.
When you have reached "d7", the
display will go back to "d1".
3. When the required setting appears on
the display, wait for an audible signal to
confirm that the new setting has been
stored in memory.

WATER SOFTENER UNIT
Depending on the source of the supply,
water contains varying amounts of limestone
and minerals which are deposited on the
dishes leaving whitish stains and marks.
The higher the level of these minerals
present in the water, the harder the water is.
The dishwasher is fitted with a water
softener unit which, through the use of
special regenerating salt, supplies
softened water for washing the dishes.
The degree of hardness of your water can
be obtained from your water supply
company.
Regulating the water softener
with electronic programmer
The water softener can treat water with a
hardness level of up to 90°fH (French
grading) or 50°dH (German grading)
through 8 settings.
The settings are listed in the table below:

INSTALLATION IN FITTED
KITCHENS
Fitting between existing cabinets
■ The height of the dishwasher, 85 cm, has
been designed in order to allow the
machine to be fitted between existing
cabinets of the same height in modern
fitted kitchens. The feet can be adjusted
so that correct height is reached.
■ The laminated top of the machine does
not require any particular care since it is
heatproof, scratchproof and stainproof
(fig. 5).
Opening the door
Put your hand into the recess and pull.
If the machine comes open while it is working,
an electrical safety device automatically
switches everything off.
IMPORTANT
For the machine to work properly,
the door should not be opened while
it is in operation.
Closing the door
Place the baskets in the machine.
Make sure that both the spray arms are
free to rotate and are not obstructed by
cutlery, crockery or pans. Close the door,
pressing on it to make sure it is firmly shut.
Underneath existing work top
(when fitting beneath a work top)
■ In most modern fitted kitchens there is
only one single work top under which
cabinets and electrical appliances are
fitted. In this case remove the work top
of the dishwasher by unscrewing the
screws under the rear edge of the top
(fig. 6a).
IMPORTANT
After removing the work top, the
screws MUST BE screwed again
under the rear edge of the top
(fig. 6b).
■ The height will then be reduced to 82 cm,
as scheduled by the International
Regulations (ISO) and the dishwasher
will fit perfectly under the kitchen
working top (fig. 7).

LOADING THE SALT
■ On the bottom of the machine there is a
container for the salt for regenerating
the softener.
■ It is important to use only a salt that is
specifically designed for dishwasher.
Other types of salt contain small quantities
of insoluble particles which over a long
period of time may affect and deteriorate
the softener performance.
■ To add salt, unscrew the cap of the container on the bottom and then refill the
container.
■ During this operation a little water will
overflow; but keep adding salt until the
container is full. When the container is
full, clean the thread of salt residue and
retighten the tap.
■ After loading the salt, it is recommended
running a complete washing cycle,
or COLD RINSE programme. The salt
dispenser has a capacity of between 1.5
and 1.8 kg and, for efficient use of the
appliance, it should be refilled from time
to time according to the regulation of the
water softener unit.
10
IMPORTANT
(Only for first start up)
When the appliance is used for the
first time, after completely filling the
salt container, it is necessary to add
water until the container overflows.
Salt loading indicator
This model is provided with an indicator light
on the control panel which will light up
when it is necessary to reload the salt
container.
IMPORTANT
The appearance of white stains on
dishes is generally an important
sign that the salt container needs
filling.
11
ADJUSTMENT OF THE
UPPER BASKET
If 27 cm to 31 cm plates are normally used,
load them onto the lower basket after the
upper basket has been placed in its upper
position and proceed as detailed below:
1. Turn the front stops “A” outwards;
2. Take out the basket and remount it in the
upper position;
3. Replace the blocks “A” in their original

LOADING DISHES
Using the upper basket
■ The upper basket is provided with
mobile racks hooked to the sides of the
basket which can be regulated in two
positions: upright and lowered. In the
lowered position the racks may be used
for tea and coffee cups, kitchen knives
and ladles. Glasses with stems may be
safely hung on the ends of the racks.
Glasses, cups, saucers and dessert
plates may be loaded under the racks.
■Soup plates and ordinary plates may be
loaded with the rack in the upright
position. Plates should be loaded
vertically with the underside of the plate
towards the back of the dishwasher with
a space between each plate to allow
water to pass freely.
■ It is advisable to load plates of the same
size together in order to utilize maximum
basket capacity.
■ Plates may be loaded in a single row
(fig. 1) or on both rows (fig. 2).
■ It is advisable to load large plates
(approx. 27 or more cm) slightly tilted
towards the rear to facilitate introduction
of the basket into the machine.
■ Salad bowls and plastic bowls may also
be loaded on the upper basket. It is
advisable to block these in place so that
the jets of water do not make them
overturn.
■ The upper basket has been designed to
offer maximum flexibility in use and can
be loaded with up to 24 plates on two
rows, up to 30 glasses on five rows or a
mixed load.
Using the lower basket
■ Saucepans, oven dishes, tureens, salad
bowls, lids, serving dishes, dinner
plates, soup plates and ladles can be
loaded on the lower basket.
■ Place the cutlery in the plastic cutlery
holder with the handles pointing
upwards.
■ Place the cutlery holder on the lower
basket (fig. 3), making sure that the
cutlery does not get in the way of the
rotating arms.
■ The small plates, as those used for
desserts for example, must be placed in
the lower basket as shown in the figure
below, with the support flap placed
outwards ("B").
For normal or large plates the flap must
be in the position ("A").
WARNING!
If the small plates are placed in the
basket with the support flap in the
incorrect position, the plates will
interfere with the lower spraying arm
preventing it to rotate.
IMPORTANT
The lower basket has a safety-stop
device, for its safe extraction, also
especially useful with a full load.
For loading salt, cleaning filter and for
ordinary maintenance, the complete
extraction of the basket is necessary.

LOADING THE DETERGENT
The detergent
IMPORTANT
It is essential to use a detergent
that is specifically designed for
dishwashers either in powder, liquid
or tablet form.
“FINISH” gives very good results and can
be easily obtained.
Unsuitable detergents (like those for
washing up by hand) do not contain the
proper ingredients for use in a dishwasher,
and stop the dishwasher from working
correctly.
Filling the detergent container
The detergent container is inside the door
(fig. A “2”). If the lid of the container is
closed, press the button (A) to open.
At the end of every wash cycle the lid is
always open and ready for the next time
the dishwasher is used.
WARNING!
When loading the lower basket, please
ensure that the plates or others do not
obstruct the detergent dispenser.
The amount of detergent to be used varies
according to how dirty the dishes are and
on the type of dishes to be washed.
We advise using 20÷30 g of detergent in the
wash section of detergent compartment (B).
15
After pouring the detergent into the container,
close the lid, firstly pushing (1) and then
pressing on it (2) until you hear the click.
Since not all detergents are the same the
instructions on the boxes of detergent can
vary. We should just like to remind users
that too little detergent does not clean the
dishes properly whilst too much detergent
will not produce better results and is also a
waste.
IMPORTANT
Do not use an excessive amount of
detergent and help limit damage to
the environment at the same time.

16
TYPES OF DETERGENT
Detergent tablets
Detergent tablets of different manufacturers
dissolve at different speeds, for this
reason, during short programmes, some
detergent tablets may be not fully effective,
because they are not completely dissolved.
If these products are used, is recommended
to choose longer programmes to guarantee
the complete use of the detergent.
IMPORTANT
To get satisfactory washing results,
the tablets MUST be placed in the
wash section of the detergent
container and NOT directly in the
tub.
Concentrated detergents
The concentrated detergents, with reduced
alkalinity and with natural enzymes, in
conjunction with 50°C wash programmes,
have a smaller impact on the environment
and they protect the dishes and the
dishwasher.
The 50°C wash programmes purposely
exploit the dirt-dissolving properties of the
enzymes, allowing therefore, with the use
of the concentrated detergents, to achieve
the same results of the 65°C programmes
but at a lower temperature.
Combined detergents
The detergents that also contain the rinse
aid must be placed in the wash section of
the detergent container. The rinse aid
container must be empty (if it is not empty,
set the rinse aid regulator to lowest position
before using combined detergents).
"3 in 1" combined detergents
If you are planning to use combined detergents
i.e. those with built in salt and/or rinse
agent, we would advise the following:
■ read carefully and follow the manufacturer’s
instructions given on the packaging;
■ the effectiveness of detergents containing
the built in water softener/salt depends
on the hardness of your water supply.
Check that the hardness of your water
supply is within the effective range given
on the detergent packaging.
If when using this type of product, you
don't get satisfactory washing results,
please contact the detergent
manufacturer.
In certain circumstances use of combined
detergents can cause:
■ limescale deposits on dishes or in the
dishwasher;
■ a reduction in washing and drying
performance.
IMPORTANT
Any problems which arise as a direct
result of the use of these products
are not covered by our warranty.
Please note that using the "3 in 1"
combined detergents, the rinse aid and
salt indicator lights (only used on
selected models) are superfluous, so
you must ignore the lights.
If washing and/or drying problems occur,
we recommend you return to use traditional
separate products (salt, detergent and
rinse agent). This will ensure that the water
softener in the dishwasher operates
correctly.
In this case, we recommends that you:
■ refill both the salt and rinse aid container;
■ run one normal washing cycle without a
load.
Please note that on return to the use of
conventional salt, a number of cycles will
be required before the system becomes
fully efficient again.
LOADING THE RINSE AID
The rinse aid
The rinse aid, which is automatically
released during the last rinsing cycle, helps
the dishes to dry quickly and prevents
spots and stains forming.
Filling the rinse aid container
The rinse aid container can be found to the
left of the detergent container (fig. A "3").
To open the lid, push the reference mark
and, in the same time, pull the tab of
opening.
It is always advisable to use rinse aid that
is specifically designed for dishwasher.
Check the rinse aid level through the
indicator eye (C) which is located on the
dispenser.
Regulating the rinse aid from 1 to 6
The regulator (D) is placed under the lid
and can be turned using a coin.
The recommended position is 4.
The limestone content of the water
considerably affects the formation of
limescale and the drying performance.
It is therefore important to regulate the
quantity of rinse aid to achieve good
washing results.
If, after the wash, streaks occur on the
dishes, decrease the amount by one
position. If whitish spots occur, increase the
amount by one position.

PRATICAL HINTS
How to get really good wash
results
■ Before placing the dishes in the
dishwasher, remove any remaining
food (bones, shells, pieces of meat or
vegetables, coffee grounds, skin of fruit,
cigarette ash, tooth picks etc. to avoid
blocking the filters, water outlet and
washing arm nozzles.
■ Try not to rinse the dishes before
loading them into the dishwasher.
■ If saucepans and oven dishes are
encrusted with the remains of burnt or
roast food, it is advisable to leave them
to soak before washing.
■ Place the dishes face downwards.
■ Try to place the dishes in such a way
that they are not touching one another.
If they are loaded properly you will get
better results.
■ After loading the dishes check that the
washing arms can rotate freely.
■ Pans and other dishes that have
particularly stubborn food particles or
remnants of burnt food should be left to
soak in water with dishwasher
detergent.
■ To wash silver properly:
a) rinse the silver immediately after
use, especially if it has been used for
mayonnaise, eggs, fish etc.;
b) do not sprinkle detergent onto it;
c) keep it separate from other metals.
How to make savings
■ If you want the dishwasher to give a
complete wash, place the dishes in the
dishwasher at the end of each meal and
if necessary turn on the COLD RINSE
cycle to soften the food remains and
remove bigger particles of food from the
new load of dishes.
When the dishwasher is full start the
complete wash cycle programme.
■ If the dishes are not very dirty or if the
baskets are not very full select an
ECONOMY programme, following the
instructions in the program list.
What not to wash
■ It should be remembered that not all
dishes are suitable for washing in a
dishwasher.We advise against using
the dishwasher to wash items in
thermoplastic, cutlery with wooden or
plastic handles, saucepans with
wooden handles, items in aluminium,
crystal, leaded glass unless otherwise
stated.
■ Certain decorations may fade. It is
therefore a good idea before loading the
whole batch to wash just one of the
items first so as to be sure that others
like it will not fade.
■ It is a good idea not to put silver cutlery
with non-stainless steel handles into
the dishwasher as there could be a
chemical reaction between them.
IMPORTANT
When buying new crockery or
cutlery always make sure that they are
suitable for washing in a dishwasher.
Useful hints
■ In order to avoid any dripping from the
top rack, remove the lower rack first.
■ If the dishes are to be left in the
machine for some time, leave the door
ajar, to let some air circulate and to
improve the drying performance.

CLEANING THE FILTERS
The filter system (fig.A “4”) consists of:
a central container that traps the larger
particles;
a flat gauze that continuously filters the
wash water;
a micro filter, located beneath the gauze,
that traps the tiniest particles ensuring a
perfect rinse.
■ To achieve excellent results every time,
the filters should be checked and
cleaned after each wash.
■ To remove the filter unit, simply turn the
handle anticlockwise (fig. 1).
■ For ease of cleaning, the central container
is removable (fig. 2).
■ Remove the gauze filter (fig.3) and
wash the whole unit under a jet of
water. If necessary a small brush can
be used.
■ With the Self-cleaning Micro filter,
maintenance is reduced and the filter
unit need only be checked every two
weeks. Nevertheless, after each wash it
is advisable to check that the central
container and the gauze filter are not
clogged.
WARNING!
After cleaning the filters, make sure
that they are correctly reassembled
and that the gauze filter is properly
positioned at the bottom of the
dishwasher.
Make sure that the filter is screwed
back, clockwise, into the gauze, as
poor seating of the filter unit could
have an adverse effect on the
efficiency of the appliance.
IMPORTANT
Never use the dishwasher without
the filters.
20
WHEN CYCLE IS FINISHED
After every wash it is essential to turn off
water supply and to switch off the machine
by pressing the On/Off button to the off
position.
If the machine is not going to be used for
some time, it is advisable to follow these
rules:
1. do an empty wash with detergent in order
to clean the machine of any deposits;
2. pull out the electric plug;
3. turn off the water tap;
4. fill the rinse aid container;
5. Ieave the door ajar;
6. keep the inside of the machine clean;
7. If the machine is left in places where the
temperature is below 0°C any water left
inside the pipes may freeze. Wait until
the temperature rises above zero and
then wait for about 24 hours before
starting up the dishwasher.
CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
■ To clean the dishwasher outside, do not
use solvents (degreasing action) neither
abrasives, but only a cloth soaked with
water.
■ The dishwasher does not require special
maintenance, because the tank is
self-cleaning.
■ Regularly wipe the door gasket with a
damp cloth to remove any food remains
or rinse aid.
■ It is advisable to remove limestone
deposits or dirt periodically, by doing an
empty wash; pour a glass of vinegar on
the bottom of the tank and select the
light wash.
■ If, in spite of the routine cleaning of the
filters, you notice that the dishes or pans
are not properly washed or rinsed, check
that all the spray heads on the rotor
arms (fig. A “5”) are clear.
If they are blocked, clean them in the
following way:
1. to remove the upper rotor arm, turn it
until it lines up with the stop marked
by the arrow (fig. 1). Push it upwards
(fig. 1b) and, keeping it pushed in,
unscrew it in a clockwise direction
(to reassemble it repeat the same
operation, but turn it anticlockwise).
The lower rotor arm can be removed
simply by pulling it upwards (fig. 2);
2. wash the rotor arms under a jet of water
to clear any blockage in the spray
heads;
3. when you have finished, refit the rotor
arms in the same position, remembering
to re-align the arrow and screw into
position.
■ Both the door lining and the tank lining
are in stainless steel; however, should
spots caused by oxidation occur, this is
probably due to a high level of iron salts
presents in the water.
■ The spots can be removed with a mild
abrasive agent; never use chlorine
based materials, steel wool, etc.

PROGRAMME SELECTION
AND SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
(Use in conjunction with programme guide)
IMPORTANT
The dishwasher has two very practical
functions:
- the "recommended" programme
(which is ideal for full load daily use)
for quick and accurate selection;
- the "Auto’ Memory", function saves
any programme used at least 3 times
consecutively, so that if you regularly
use the same washing cycle you
do not have to continually set the
programme thereby saving time and
effort.
Programme settings
■ Open the door and place the dirty dishes
inside the appliance.
■ Press the "ON/OFF" button .
■ After pressing the "ON/OFF" button,
the indicator light which is factory set at
"recommended”, or the indicator light
for the “Auto Memory” programme will
flash.
The length of the program will be shown on
the display alternating hours with
minutes [I.e: 1 h (1 hour) / 25 (25 minutes)].
■ To select an option, press the
corresponding button (the indicator light
will light up).
Option buttons must be pressed
BEFORE starting the programme for
them to be accepted.
■ To choose another programme, press
the corresponding button (the relevant
indicator light will flash to confirm the
selection).
■ To start the programme, press the selected
programme button again to confirm.
The programme starts automatically, the
relevant indicator light will stop flashing
and remain on and the cycle length will
appear on the display.
If the previously described operations
were performed with the door open, the
programme will not start until the door
is closed.
Programme interruption
Opening the door when a programme is
running is not recommended especially
during the main wash and final hot rinse
phases. However, if the door is opened
while a programme is running (for example,
to add dishes) the machine stops
automatically and the display will flash the
remaining time before the end of the cycle.
Close the door, without pressing any
buttons. The cycle will start from where it
left off.
IMPORTANT
A running programme can be
interrupted without opening the door
by pausing the dishwasher.
To pause, hold the running programme
button down for at least 2 seconds
and release when the corresponding
indicator light starts flashing.
Simply press the programme button
again to restart the cycle from where
it left off (the indicator light will stop
flashing and remain on).
WARNING!
If you open the door during the
drying cycle, an audible audio signal
advises you that the drying cycle has
not yet finished.
23
Changing a running programme
Proceed as follows to change or cancel a
running programme:
■ Hold down the current programme
button (with the indicator light on) for at
least 5 seconds. All programme indicator
lights will turn on for one second. The
running programme will be cancelled
and the corresponding indicator light will
start to flash. The display will go blank
and the programme end indicator light
will turn on in the display.
■ At this point a new programme can be set.
WARNING!
Before starting a new programme,
you should check that there is still
detergent in the dispenser.
If necessary, top up the dispenser.
If there is any break in the power supply
while the dishwasher is operating, a
special memory stores the selected
programme and, when the power is
restored, it continues where it left off.
Programme operations
When a programme is running, the time
until the end of the cycle will be displayed
and the 4 “PROGRAMME STATUS”
indicator lights ("WASH", "RINSE",
"DRY", "END") will light singularly and in
sequence to indicate the current phase.
Programme end
The display will go blank and the last
“PROGRAMME STATUS” indicator light
will light to indicate that the cycle has
ended.
A5 second alarm will sound (if not muted)
3 times at 30 second intervals to signal that
the programme has ended. The programme
end indicator light will light up and the
display will go blank.
Dishes can now be removed and the
dishwasher turned off by pressing the
"ON/OFF" button or dishes can be loaded
for a new cycle.
Option buttons
IMPORTANT
All options MUST be turned on or off,
BEFORE starting the programme.
"TIME SAVER" button
The "TIME SAVER" button provides over
20% time and energy savings by reducing
the final water heating and drying times
during the last rinse cycle.
This option is recommended for light soil
washes, and for when the dishes are not
required perfectly dry straight away.
If you want to get better drying, we advise
to leave the dishwasher door slightly ajar at
the end of the cycle, to allow for a natural
circulation of air inside the dishwasher.
“3 in 1” button
This option optimises the use of “3 in 1”
combined detergents. By pressing this
button, the selected washing programme is
modified to get the best performance from
combined detergents; furthermore, the salt
and rinse aid shortage lights are de-activated.
WARNING!
Once selected, this option keeps
being on (light on) also for next
washing cycles and it can be de-activate
(light off) only by pressing the button
once again.
IMPORTANT
When this option is selected, the
"RAPID" cycle is 10 minutes longer.
"HALF LOAD" button
In response to your everyday washing
requirement in addition to the normal wash
functions this dishwasher is equipped with
the “HALF LOAD” function. This function
enables the uses to wash a reduced
number of dishes yet retaining the freedom
of loading them both on the top and bottom
basket.
When this function is activated the dishwasher
will automatically reduce the water and
energy consumption and the wash time.
When selecting the “HALF LOAD” ensure
a reduced amount of detergent is used.
AUTOMATIC FAULT SIGNALS
24
"DELAY START" button
Dishwasher start time can be set with this
button, delaying start from 1 to 23 hours.
Proceed as follows to set a delayed start:
■ Press the "DELAY START" button ("00"
will appear on the display).
■ Press the button again to increase the
delay in hours (each time the button is
pressed the delay is increased by 1 hour
to a maximum of 23).
■ To start the countdown, press the
selected programme button (the relevant
indicator light will stop flashing and
remain on and the start time delay will be
shown in the display).
At the end of the countdown, the programme
will automatically start and the length of the
selected cycle will be shown in the display.
Proceed as follows to cancel a delayed
start:
■ Hold the selected programme button
down for at least 5 seconds.
■ Delayed start cancellation is confirmed
when the selected programme indicator
light starts to flash. The display will go
blank and the programme end indicator
light will light (any selected options will
also be cancelled and the corresponding
indicator lights will turn off).
■ At this point, a new programme and
option buttons must be set to start a
new programme as indicated in the
"PROGRAMME SETTINGS" section.
Alarm mute for the PROGRAMME
END
The alarm for the programme end may be
muted as follows:
■ With the dishwasher off, hold down the
second option button (from the left) while
simultaneously pushing the "ON/OFF"
button.
■ "b1” will appear on the display to indicate
that the alarm is on.
■ Press the same option button (second
from the left) within 5 seconds ("b0" will
appear on the display to indicate that the
alarm is off).
■ Wait for the alarm to sound to indicate
that the settings were saved.
■ To turn the alarm on again, follow the
same procedure ("b1" will appear on the
display to indicate that the alarm is on).
IMPORTANT
This dishwasher is equipped with an
anti-overflow safety device which will
automatically discharge any excess
water should a problem occur.
WARNING!
To ensure the correct operation of
the anti-overflow safety device, we
recommend that the dishwasher is
not moved or tilted during operation.
If however it is necessary to tilt or
move the dishwasher, please ensure
that the washing cycle is complete
and that there is no remaining water
inside the dishwasher.

N.B.: Should any of the situations
occur and should the machine give a bad wash performance, it is necessary to remove the
deposits from the dishes by hand since the final drying cycle hardens the deposits which a second wash
in the machine would not be able to remove.
If the malfunction continues contact a Service Centre quoting the serial number of the dishwasher.
This is found on the plaque on the inside of the dishwasher door at the top or on the guarantee.
This information will make it possible to take more effective action more quickly.
