SALT, RINSE AID AND DETERGENT
ADVICE REGARDING THE FIRST TIME USE
After installation, remove the stoppers from the racks and the reta­ining elastic elements from the upper rack.
FILLING THE SALT RESERVOIR
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 reservoir be never empty.
• It is important to set the water hardness. The salt reservoir is located in the lower part of the dishwasher
(see PRODUCT DESCRIPTION) and should be lled when the SALT REFILL indicator light in the control panel is lit .
1. Remove the lower rack and unscrew the reservoir cap (anticlockwise).
2. Only the rst time you do this: ll the salt re­servoir with water.
3. Position the funnel (see gure) and ll the salt reservoir right up to its edge (approximately 1 kg); it is not unusual for a little water to leak out.
4. Remove the funnel and wipe any salt residue away from the opening.
Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly, so that no detergent can get into the container during the wash program (this could damage the water softener beyond repair).
Whenever you need to add salt, it is mandatory to complete the procedure before the beginning of the washing cycle.
SETTING THE WATER HARDNESS
To allow the water softener to work in a perfect way, it is essential that the water hardness setting is based on the actual water hardness in your house. This information can be obtained from your local water supplier. The factory setting is for average (3) water hardness.
• Switch on the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.
• Switch o the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.
• Hold down button P for 5 seconds, until you hear a beep.
• Switch on the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.
• The current selection level number and the salt indicator light both ash.
• Press button P to select the desired hardness level (see WATER HARDNESS TABLE).

5 Very hard 35 - 50 61 - 90
• Switch o the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.
Setting is complete!
As soon as this procedure is complete, run a program without loading.
Only use salt that has been specically designed for dishwashers.
After the salt has been poured into the machine, the SALT REFILL indi­cator light switches o.
If the salt container is not lled, the water softener and the heating element may be damaged as a result.

ADJUSTING THE DOSAGE OF RINSE AID
If you are not completely satised with the drying results, you can ad­just the quantity of rinse aid used.
• Switch the dishwasher on using the ON/OFF button.
• Switch it o using the ON/OFF button.
• Press button P three times - a beep will be heard.
• Switch it on using the ON/OFF button.
• The current selection level number and rinse aid indicator light ash.
• Press button P to select the level of rinse aid quantity to be supplied.
• Switch it o using the ON/OFF button
Setting is complete!
If the rinse aid level is set to ZERO (ECO), no rinse aid will be supplied. The LOW RINSE AID indicator light will not be lit if you run out of rinse aid.
A maximum of 4 levels can be set according to the dishwasher model. The factory setting is specic to the model, please follow instruction above to check this for your machine.
• 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
mid-range number (3-4).
FILLING THE DETERGENT DISPENSER
To open the detergent dispenser use the opening device A. 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 mentioned earlier infor­mation to add the proper quantity. Inside the dispenser B there are indications to help the detergent dosing.
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 program. If all-in-one detergents are used, we recommend using the TABLET button, because it adjusts the program so that the best washing and drying results are always achieved.

ADVICE AND TIPS
TIPS
Before loading the baskets, remove all food residues from the crock­ery and empty the glasses. You do not need to rinse beforehand
under running water.
Arrange the crockery so that it is held in place rmly 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 ow freely. Warning: lids, handles, trays and frying pans do not prevent the sprayer arms from rotating. Place any small items in the cutlery basket. Very soiled dishes and pans should be placed in the lower basket be­cause in this sector the water sprays are stronger and allow a higher washing performance. After loading the appliance, make sure that the sprayer arms can rotate freely.
HYGIENE
To avoid odour and sediment which can be accumulated in the dish­washer please run a high temperature program at least one a month. Use a tea spoon of detergent and run it without the loading to clean your appliance.
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
• 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.

LOADING THE RACKS
CUTLERY RACK
The third rack was designed to house the cutlery. Arrange the cutlery as shown in the gure. A separate arrangement of the cutlery makes collection easier after washing and improves washing and drying perfor­mance.
Knives and other utensils with sharp edges must be positioned with the blades facing downwards.
The geometry of the rack makes it possible to place such small items as coee cups in the area in the middle.
UPPER RACK
Load delicate and light dishes: glasses, cups, saucers, low salad bowls.
FOLDABLE FLAPS WITH ADJUSTABLE POSITION
The side foldable aps can be positioned at three dierent heights to optimize the arrange­ment of crockery inside the rack. Wine glasses can be placed safely in the foldable aps by inserting the stem of each glass into the cor­responding slots. For optimum drying results incline the foldable aps more. To change the inclination, pull up the foldable ap, slide it sli­ghtly and position it as you wish.
LOWER RACK
For pots, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery etc. Large plates and lids should ideally be placed at the sides to avoid interferences with the spray arm. The lower rack has tip-up supports which can be used in a vertical position when arranging plates or in a horizontal position (lo­wer) to load pans and salad bowls easily.
(loading example for the upper rack)
ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE UPPER RACK
The height of the upper basket can be adju­sted: high position to place bulky crockery in the lower basket and low position to make the most of the tip-up compartments by creating more space upwards. The upper rack is equipped with a Upper Rack height adjuster (see gure), without pressing the levers, lift it up by simply holding the rack sides, as soon as the rack is stable in its upper position. To restore to the lower position, press the levers (A) at the sides of the rack and move the basket downwards.
We strongly recommend that you do not adjust the height of the rack when it is loaded. NEVER raise or lower the basket on one side only.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
EN
CLEANING THE FILTER ASSEMBLY
Regularly clean the lter assembly so that the lters do not clog and that the waste water ows away correctly. The lter assembly consists of three lters which remove food residues from the washing water and then recirculate the water: to obtain the best washing results, you need to keep them clean.
The dishwasher must not be used without lters or if the lter is loose.
After several washes, check the lter assembly and if necessary clean it thoroughly under running water, using a non-metallic brush and follo­wing the instructions below:
1. Turn the cylindrical lter A in an anti-clockwise direction and pull it out (Fig 1).
2. Remove the cup lter B by exerting a slight pressure on the side aps (Fig 2).
3. Slide out the stainless-steel plate lter C (Fig 3).
4. Inspect the trap and remove any food residues. NEVER REMOVE the wash-cycle pump protection (black detail) (Fig 4).

A
A
CLEANING THE SPRAY ARMS
On occasions, food residue may become encrusted onto the spray 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.
To remove the upper spray arm, turn the plastic locking ring in an an­ticlockwise direction. The upper spray arm should be replaced so that the side with the greater number of holes is facing upwards.
C
After cleaning the lters, re-place the lter assembly and x it in po­sition correctly; this is essential for maintaining the ecient operation of the dishwasher.
The lower spray arm may be removed by pulling it upwards.
CLEANING THE WATER INLET HOSE
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.
