Specifically for washing with combination detergents in tablets, which also contain salt and rinse aid (3in1) or other agents such as glass protector, steel rinse aids, etc. (4in1, 5in1…). When this option is selected, salt and rinse aid will not be dispensed even if the relative compartments contain them. If the containers are empty, the lights will remain on.
With short programs, because there is less time for them to dissolve, tablets may fail to wash effectively and undissolved residues may be left. Powder detergents are more suitable for these programs.
If the option is not provided, we recommend the use of conventional products (separate detergent, salt and rinse aid), because with
conventional washing cycles, combined products might create problems such as a white deposit, poor drying results and residues left on dishes.

ENERGY MANAGEMENT
REMOVING THE DISHES
TO SAVE ON ENERGY!…AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT
Always use the dishwasher with a full load. Do not wash the dishes in running water. Use the washing program that is most appropriate for each type
of load.
Do not carry out any preliminary rinsing. If available, connect the dishwasher to a hot water supply up to
60°C.
TO REDUCE DETERGENT CONSUMPTION AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT
The phosphates contained in dishwasher detergents are harmful to the environment. To avoid using excessive amounts of detergent save on electricity as well, observe the following recommendations:
Sort your dishes, washing delicate items separately from those
more resistant to strong detergents and high temperatures.
Do not pour detergent directly onto dishes.
After 5 minutes of inactivity (wash cycle completed, stopped or set but not started), the dishwasher switches to standby mode to reduce energy consumption. In this mode, the dishwasher indicator panel (lights or display depending on model) functions more slowly (switch-on once every 5 seconds).
At the end of the wash program, wait at least 20 minutes before removing the dishes, to allow them to cool. To ensure that any drops of water left in the top basket do not drip onto the dishes still in the bottom basket, you are advised always to empty the bottom basket first.

SALT
User instructions
2. Operating instructions
Once the dishwasher has been correctly installed, prepare it for use as follows:
Adjust the water softening system  Add salt  Add rinse aid and detergent
2.1 Using the water softening system
The dishwasher is equipped with an automatic softening system which uses a special regenerating salt to reduce the hardness of the water, responsible for whitish marks on dry dishes The dishwasher is factory set for water hardness level 3 (average hardness).
14
When using water of medium hardness, the salt container should be refilled after approximately 20 wash cycles. The salt container can hold approximately 1.5 kg of salt grains. Some models are equipped with a cap with a no-salt optical indicator containing a green float which descends as the salt concentration in the water drops. When the green float can no longer be seen through the transparent cap, salt must be added. The container is situated at the bottom of the dishwasher. After removing the lower basket, unscrew the salt container cap by turning it anticlockwise and pour in the salt using the funnel supplied. Before replacing the cap, remove any salt residues from around the opening.
When using the dishwasher for the first time, in addition to the salt
it is also necessary to add one litre of water to the container.
Each time the salt container is refilled, make sure that the cap is
securely closed. The mixture of water and detergent must never
enter the salt container, as this would compromise the operation of the regeneration system. In the event of this occurring, the warranty will be invalidated.
Only use salt specially formulated for domestic dishwashers. If
using salt tablets, do not fill the container completely.
Page 15
User instructions
ADJUSTING THE WATER SOFTENING SYSTEM
15
Do not use table salt, as it contains insoluble substances which,
over time, may damage the water softening system.
The salt container should be refilled before starting the wash
program. This way, the excess saline solution will be immediately
removed by the water; prolonged presence of salt water inside the tank may lead to corrosion.
Be careful not to confuse the salt and detergent packages; adding detergent to the salt container will damage the water softening system.
The dishwasher is equipped with a device which allows the softener setting to be varied to suit the hardness of the mains water. The hardness is set using the START/PAUSE BUTTON (3). To access the setting function, hold the button down for more than seconds. The SELECTED PROGRAM INDICATOR LIGHTS (5) show the current setting. Each pressure on the button changes the setting following the sequence in the table below:

ADDING RINSE AID
ADJUSTING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER SETTING
Rinse aid helps the dishes dry faster and prevents the formation of scale deposits and staining; it is automatically added to the water during the final rinse cycle.
To add rinse aid:
Open the door.  Rotate the container cap anticlockwise by ¼ of a turn and remove it.  Add the rinse aid until the container is full (approximately 140 ml). The
optical level indicator on the side of the cap should be completely dark. Refill the rinse aid when the optical level indicator turns clear again, or when the rinse aid warning light turns on.
Replace the cover and turn it clockwise.  Use a cloth to remove any spillage of rinse aid which might lead to
the formation of excess foam.
To adjust the rinse aid setting, rotate the dispenser cap a quarter of a
turn anticlockwise and remove it.
Then rotate the rinse aid selector to the desired position.  Replace the cap, turning it clockwise.
The amount of rinse aid must be increased if the washed dishes
appear dull or have circular stains.
If, on the other hand, the dishes are sticky or have white streaks, it is
necessary to reduce the rinse aid dosage.

ADDING DETERGENT
18
User instructions
To open the detergent dispenser cap, lightly press the button P. Add the detergent and close the cap carefully. During the wash cycle, the dispenser will open automatically.
When a program with hot prewash is selected (see program table),
extra detergent must be placed in the cavity G/H (depending on model).
Use only detergents specially formulated for dishwashers. For
optimal washing results it is important to use a good quality detergent.
The detergent packs must be sealed and stored in a dry place to
prevent the formation of lumps which may negatively affect wash results. Once opened, the detergent packs should not be kept for too long, otherwise the detergent will lose its effectiveness.
Do not use detergents formulated for washing dishes by hand,
because they produce a great deal of foam and may negatively affect the operation of the dishwasher.
Add the correct amount of detergent. An insufficient amount of
detergent will result in a partial removal of dirt from the dishes, whereas an excessive amount is wasteful and does not improve the wash results.
There are various liquid and powder detergents on the market with
differing chemical compositions, which may contain phosphates, or be phosphate-free but contain natural enzymes.
- Detergents containing phosphates are more effective against grease and starch at temperatures above 60°C.
- Enzyme detergents, on the other hand, are also effective at lower temperatures (from 40 to 55°C) and are more easily biodegradable. Enzyme detergents provide comparable results at low temperatures to those which can only be achieved at 65°C using traditional detergents.
To protect the environment, we recommend the use of phosphate- and chlorine-free detergents.
Page 19
User instructions
The introduction of detergent into the rinse aid dispenser, even in liquid form, will damage the dishwasher.
2.3 General warnings and recommendations
Before using the dishwasher for the first time, it is advisable to read the following recommendations concerning dish types and loading. There are generally no constraints on washing of domestic dishes, but in certain cases it is necessary to take their characteristics into account.
Before loading the dishes into the baskets it is necessary to: Remove large food remains, particularly bones, which may clog the
filter or damage the pump.
Soak any pots or pans with burnt-on food to facilitate its removal,
then load them into the LOWER BASKET.
There is no need to pre-wash the dishes under running water before loading them into the baskets since this only wastes water.
Correct loading of the dishes helps ensure optimal wash results.
19
Page 20

WARNING!
User instructions
Make sure that the dishes are securely in place so that they cannot
tip over or obstruct the rotation of the spray arms during the wash cycle.
Do not place very small objects in the baskets as these could fall and
obstruct the spray arms or the pump.
Containers such as cups, bowls, glasses and pots should always be
loaded with the opening facing downwards and with any cavities at an angle, to allow the water to drain out.
Do not stack dishes or place them in such a way that they cover each
other.
Do not place glasses too close together because they may knock
against each other and break, or stains may remain at the point where they touch.
MAKE SURE that the items being washed are dishwasher-safe. Items which are not dishwasher-safe:
Wooden dishes, pots or pans: these may be damaged by the high
wash temperatures.
Handmade items: these are rarely suitable for washing in a
dishwasher. The relatively high water temperatures and the detergents used may damage them.
Plastic dishes: heat resistant plastic dishes must be washed in the
upper basket.
Dishes and objects in copper, tin, zinc or brass: these tend to
stain.
Aluminium dishes: items made from anodised aluminium may lose
their colour.
Silverware: silver items may stain. Glass and crystal: in general, glass and crystal objects can be
washed in the dishwasher. However, certain types of glass and crystal may become dull and lose their clarity after many washes. Therefore, for these items we recommend using the most gentle program available.
Decorated items are generally able to withstand washing in the
dishwasher, although the colours may fade with frequent washing. If in doubt as to the fastness of the colours, it is advisable to wash just a few items at a time for approximately one month.
