incidents, if these regulations are not observed.

Positioning and levelling

1. Position the dishwasher on a level sturdy floor. If the floor is
uneven, the front feet of the appliance may be adjusted until
it reaches a horizontal position. If the appliance is levelled
correctly, it will be more stable and much less likely to move
or cause vibrations and noise while it is operating.

2. Before recessing the dishwasher, stick the adhesive
transparent strip* under the wooden shelf in order to protect
it from any condensation which may form.

3. Place the dishwasher so that its sides or back panel are in
contact with the adjacent cabinets or the wall. This appliance
can also be recessed under a single worktop*

(see the

EN

Anti-flooding protection

To ensure floods do not occur, the dishwasher:

- is provided with a special system which blocks the water
supply in the event of anomalies or leaks from inside the
appliance.

Some models are also equipped with the supplementary

safety device New Acqua Stop*, which guarantees anti­flooding protection even in the event of a supply hose rupture.

4*. To adjust the height of the rear foot, turn the red hexagonal
bushing on the lower central part at the front of the dishwasher
using a hexagonal spanner with an opening of 8 mm. Turn the
spanner in a clockwise direction to increase the height and
in an anticlockwise direction to decrease it.

Advice regarding the first wash cycle

After the installation, remove the stoppers from the racks and
the retaining elastic elements from the upper rack

(if any).

Water softener settings

Before starting the first wash cycle, set the hardness lev­el of the water from the mains supply.

(see chapter Rinse

aid and refined salt).

First load the softener tank with water, then introduce about
1 kg of salt. It is perfectly normal for water to flow out.
As soon as this procedure is complete, run a wash cycle.
Only use salt that has been specifically designed for dish­washers.
After the salt has been poured into the machine, the LOW

SALT indicator light* switches off.

If the salt container is not filled, the water softener and

the heating element may be damaged as a result.

Refined Salt and Rinse Aid

M

A

X

EN

Only use products which have been specifically designed
for dishwashers. Do not use table salt or industrial salt.
Follow the instructions given on the packaging.

If you are using a multi-function product, we recommend
that you add salt in any case, especially if the water is hard
or very hard.

If you do not add salt or rinse aid, the LOW SALT* and
LOW RINSE AID* indicator lights will remain lit.

(Follow the instructions given on the packaging.)

Measuring out the refined salt

The use of salt prevents the formation of LIMESCALE on the
dishes and on the machine's functional components.

• It is important that the salt dispenser be never empty.

• It is important to set the water hardness.

The salt dispenser is located in the lower part of the dishwasher

(see Description)

• When the LOW RINSE AID indicator light in the control panel

is lit *;

• When the green float* on the cap of the salt dispenser is no

longer visible.

• See autonomy in the water hardness table.

little water to leak out.

4. Remove the funnel and wipe any salt residue away from the
opening; rinse the cap under running water and then screw it on.
It is advisable to perform this procedure every time you add salt
to the container.

Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly, so that no detergent can
get into the container during the wash cycle (this could damage
the water softener beyond repair).

Whenever you need to add salt, we recommend carrying out
the procedure before the washing cycle is started.

Setting the water hardness

For perfect water softener operation, it is essential that the
adjustment be based on the water hardness in your house. Ask
your local water supplier for this information. The factory setting

is for medium water hardness.

• Switch the dishwasher on using the On/Off button.

• Switch it off using the On/Off button

• Hold down START/PAUSE button for 5 seconds until

you hear a beep.

• Switch it on using the On/Off button

• The salt indicator light will flash as many times as the level

that was set.

• Adjust the hardness level using the SELECT WASH CYCLE

knob up to max. 5 levels

• Switch it off using the On/Off button

• Setting is complete!
Even if using multi-functional tablets, the salt dispenser should

still be filled.

Measuring out the rinse aid

Rinse aid makes dish DRYING easier. The rinse aid dispenser

should be filled:

• When the LOW RINSE AID indicator light on the panel/display

is lit *;

• When the dark optical indicator* on the dispenser door “D”

becomes transparent.

1. Open the dispenser “D” by pressing and pulling up the tab
on the lid;

2. Carefully introduce the rinse aid as far as the maximum

reference notch in the filling space - avoid spilling it. If this
happens, clean the spill immediately with a dry cloth.

3. Press the lid down until you hear a click to close it.

NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the tub.

Adjusting the amount of rinse aid

If you are not completely satisfied with the drying results, you

may want to adjust the quantity of rinse aid used.

• Switch the dishwasher on using the On/Off button.

• Switch it off using the On/Off button

• Press START/PAUSE button three times - a beep will

be heard.

• Switch it on using the On/Off button

• The rinse-aid indicator light will flash as many times as the

level that was set.

• Adjust the level of rinse aid supply using the SELECT WASH

CYCLE knob.

• Switch it off using the On/Off button

• Setting is complete!

If the rinse aid level is set to ZERO, the rinse aid will not be

supplied and the low rinse aid indicator light will not be lit if you
run out of it.
A maximum of 4 levels can be set according to the dishwasher
model. The factory setting is for a medium level.

• If you see bluish streaks on the dishes, set a low number (1-2).

• If there are drops of water or limescale marks on the dishes,
set a high number (3-4).

* Only available in selected models.

Loading the racks

Tips

Before loading the racks, remove all food residues from the

crockery and empty liquids from glasses and containers. No
preventive rinsing is needed under running water.

Arrange the crockery so that it is held in place firmly and does
not tip over; and arrange the containers with the openings facing

downwards and the concave/convex parts placed obliquely,

thus allowing the water to reach every surface and flow freely.

Make sure that the lids, handles, trays and frying pans do not

prevent the spray arms from rotating. Place any small items in
the cutlery basket.
Since plastic dishes and non-stick frying pans usually retain more
water drops, their drying will be not so good as that of ceramic
or stainless-steel dishes.
Lightweight items such as plastic containers should be placed
in the upper rack and arranged so that they cannot move.
After loading the appliance, make sure that the spray arms can
rotate freely.

Lower rack

The lower rack can hold pans, lids, dishes, salad bowls, cutlery
etc. Large plates and lids should ideally be placed at the sides.

Several dishwasher models are fitted with tip-up sectors*.
They can be used in a vertical position when arranging dishes

or in a horizontal position (lower) to load pans and salad bowls

easily.

Cutlery basket

The modular basket can slide to optimise the space inside the

lower rack. It is equipped with top grilles for improved cutlery

arrangement.

EN

Very soiled dishes and pans should be placed in the lower rack
because in this sector the water sprays are stronger and allow
a higher washing performance.

Knives and other utensils with sharp edges must be placed
in the cutlery basket with the points facing downwards or they
must be positioned horizontally in the tip-up compartments on
the upper rack

Upper rack

Load this rack with delicate and lightweight crockery such as
glasses, cups, saucers and shallow salad bowls.

Several dishwasher models are fitted with tip-up sectors*.
They can be used in a vertical position when arranging tea/
dessert saucers or in a lower position to load bowls and food
containers.

* Only available in selected models.

9

EN

Tip-up compartments with adjustable position

The side tip-up compartments can be positioned at three
different heights to optimize the arrangement of the crockery
inside the rack.

Wine glasses can be placed safely in
the tip-up compartments by inserting
the stem of each glass into the
corresponding slot.
For optimum drying results incline
the tip-up compartments more. To
change the inclination, pull up the
tip-up compartment, slide it slightly
and position it as you wish.

Cutlery tray*

Some dishwasher models are fitted with a sliding tray which
can be used to hold serving utensils or small cups. For optimum
washing performance avoid positioning bulky crockery directly
below the tray. The cutlery tray can be removed

(see Figure).

The upper rack can be adjusted for height based on requirements:

high position to place bulky crockery in the lower rack and low
position to make the most of the tip-up compartments/sectors
by creating more space upwards.

Adjusting the height of the upper rack

In order to make it easier to arrange the crockery, the upper rack
may be moved to a higher or lower position.

The height of the upper rack should be adjusted WHEN THE
RACK IS EMPTY.
NEVER raise or lower the rack on one side only.

If the rack is equipped with a Lift-Up device*
it up by holding its sides. To restore the lower position, press

the levers (A) at the sides of the rack and follow the rack down.

(see figure)

, lift

Unsuitable crockery

• Wooden crockery and cutlery.

• Delicate decorated glasses, artistic handicraft and antique

crockery. Their decorations are not resistant.

• Parts in synthetic material which do not withstand high

temperatures.

• Copper and tin crockery.

• Crockery soiled with ash, wax, lubricating grease or ink.

The colours of glass decorations and aluminium/silver pieces can
change and fade during the washing process. Some types of

glass (e.g. crystal objects) can become opaque after a number

of wash cycles too.

Damage to glass and crockery

Caused by:

• Type of glass and glass production process.

• Chemical composition of detergent.

• Water temperature of rinse cycle.

Tips:

• Only use glasses and porcelain guaranteed by the

manufacturer as dishwasher safe.

• Use a delicate detergent suitable for crockery.

• Collect glasses and cutlery from the dishwasher as soon as

the wash cycle is over.

*Only available in selected models with different numbers and

positions.

Detergent and
dishwasher use

Measuring out the detergent

A good wash result also depends on the correct
amount of detergent being used. Exceeding the stated
amount does not result in a more effective wash and
increases environmental pollution.

Based on how soiled the items are, the amount can be
adjusted to individual cases using powder or liquid
detergent.
In the case of normally soiled items, use approximately either
35 gr (powder detergent) or 35 ml (liquid detergent). If tablets
are used, one tablet will be enough.

If the crockery is only lightly soiled or if it has been rinsed
with water before being placed in the dishwasher, reduce
the amount of detergent used accordingly.

For good washing results also follow the instructions shown
on the detergent box.

For further questions please ask the detergent producers.

To open the detergent dispenser use the opening device “A”.

Starting the dishwasher

1. Turn the water tap on.

2. Press the ON/OFF button:

3. Open the door and pour in a suitable amount of detergent.

and shut the door.

EN

Introduce the detergent into the dry dispenser “B” only.
Place the amount of detergent for pre-washing directly
inside the tub.

1. When measuring out the detergent refer to the Table of wash

cycles to add the proper quantity. Compartment B comprises a
level showing the maximum quantity of liquid or powder detergent

that can be added to each cycle.

2. Remove detergent residues from the edges of the dispenser
and close the cover until it clicks.

3. Close the lid of the detergent dispenser by pulling it up until
the closing device is secured in place.
The detergent dispenser automatically opens up at the right time
according to the wash cycle.

If all-in-one detergents are used, we recommend using the TABS
option, because it adjusts the cycle so that the best washing and
drying results are always achieved.

Only use detergent which has been specifically designed

for dishwashers.

DO NOT USE washing up liquid.

Using excessive detergent may result in foam residues
remaining in the machine after the cycle has ended.

To achieve the best washing and drying results, the combined
use of detergent, rinse aid liquid and refined salt is required.

We recommend using detergents that do not contain
phosphates or chlorine, as these products are
harmful to the environment.

Changing a wash cycle in progress

If a mistake was made in the wash cycle selection process, it
is possible to change the cycle provided that it has only just
begun: once the wash cycle has started, in order to change
the wash cycle switch off the machine by pressing and

holding the ON/OFF/Reset button. Switch it back on using the

same button and select the desired wash cycle and options.

Adding extra crockery

Press the Start/Pause button - the corresponding indicator
light will flash. Open the door, taking care to avoid the
escaping steam, and place the crockery inside the appliance.

Press the Start/Pause button (fixed light): the cycle starts

again.

If the Start/Pause button is pressed so as to pause the

machine, both the wash cycle and the Delayed Start function

(if selected) are interrupted.

At this stage the wash cycle cannot be changed.

Accidental interruptions

If the door is opened during the wash cycle or there is a
power cut, the cycle stops. It starts again from the point at
which it was interrupted once the door has been shut or the
electricity supply restored.

Care and maintenance

EN

Shutting off the water and electricity
supplies

• Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle to avoid leaks.

• Always unplug the appliance when cleaning it and when

performing maintenance work.

Cleaning the dishwasher

• The external surfaces of the machine and the control panel

can be cleaned using a non-abrasive cloth which has been
dampened with water. Do not use solvents or abrasive

products.

• Any marks on the inside of the appliance may be removed

using a cloth dampened with water and a little vinegar.

Preventing unpleasant odours

• Always keep the door of the appliance ajar in order to avoid

moisture from forming and being trapped inside the machine.

• Clean the seals around the door and detergent dispensers

regularly using a damp sponge. This will avoid food becoming
trapped in the seals, which is the main cause behind the

formation of unpleasant odours.

Cleaning the sprayer arms

Food residue may become encrusted onto the sprayer arms
and block the holes used to spray the water. It is therefore
recommended that you check the arms from time to time and
clean them with a small non-metallic brush.
The two sprayer arms may both be removed.

To remove the upper sprayer arm,
turn the plastic locking ring in an
anti-clockwise direction. The upper
sprayer arm should be replaced
so that the side with the greater
number of holes is facing upwards.

Cleaning the filters

The filter assembly consists of three filters which remove food
residues from the washing water and then recirculate the water.
They should be cleaned if you wish to achieve the best results
in every wash.

Clean the filters regularly.

The dishwasher should not be used without filters or if the

filter is loose.

• After several washes, check the filter assembly and if necessary

clean it thoroughly under running water, using a non-metallic
brush and following the instructions below:

1. Turn the cylindrical filter C in an anti-clockwise direction and
pull it out

2. Remove the cup filter B by exerting a slight pressure on the
side flaps

3. Slide out the stainless-steel plate filter A.

4. Inspect the trap and remove any food residues. NEVER
REMOVE the wash-cycle pump protection

(fig. 1).

(fig. 2);

(fig. 3).

(black detail) (fig.4).

The lower sprayer arm can be
removed by pressing on the side

tabs and pulling it upwards.

Cleaning the water inlet filter*

If the water hoses are new or have not been used for an extended
period of time, let the water run to make sure it is clear and free
of impurities before performing the necessary connections. If this
precaution is not taken, the water inlet could become blocked
and damage the dishwasher.

Clean the water inlet filter at the tap outlet regularly.

- Turn off the water tap.

- Unscrew the end of the water inlet hose, remove the filter and

clean it carefully under running water.

- Re-place the filter and screw the water hose back into position.

14

After cleaning the filters, re-place the filter assembly and fix it in
position correctly; this is essential for maintaining the efficient

operation of the dishwasher.

Leaving the machine unused for extended
periods

• Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply and shut

off the water tap.

• Leave the door of the appliance ajar.

• When you return, run a wash cycle when the dishwasher is

empty.

* Only available in selected models.
