1 INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing one of our products. To use this dishwasher correctly and safely, please read this manual carefully. The manual is divided into sections giving you a step-by-step guide to all your appliance’s functions. The texts are easy to understand and are complete with detailed illustrations. Following the cleaning instructions provided here will keep dishwasher performance at peak levels in the long term. This user- friendly manual will pro­vide answers to all your questions about use of the dish­washer.
This manual comprises the following sections:
INTRODUCTION: general information about the manual.
USER INSTRUCTIONS: advice on using the washing programs and information about all the dishwasher func­tions. Useful advice is provided for the use of racks, spray arms, containers and filters.
WARNINGS: a list of warnings concerning safety and use of the dish- washer.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: for the qualified tech- nician who must carry out the installation, hook-up and testing of the appliance.
Nomenclature of figures and tables:
The progressive number of each figure is shown in the bottom right- hand corner of the relative box. An example of a progressive number is “Fig. 4-01”, where the first number (4) indicates the section to which the figure be­longs, while the second number (01) indicates the pro­gressive number of the figure in section 4 (Fig. 4-01 is the first figure in section 4). The tables are numbered in the same way, bearing in mind that “Tab.” is used instead of “Fig.” (e.g.: Tab. 4-01 is the first table in section 4). If a table occupies more than one page, a letter is added after the progressive number (e.g.: “Tab. 4-01a”, Tab. 4-01b”).

2.2.7 Options
Function designed for loads with hard to dry item s such as saucepans, non-stick pans and plastic containers. Increases the hot rinse tempera­ture and can be used in programmes featuring a final drying phase (see programmes table).
PROGRAM DELAY (available for all programs except soak)
The “Program delay” function delays the beginning of the washing pro­gram up to 24 hours from the moment in which programming takes place. This makes it possible to use the dishwasher at a certain time of day. Before programming a delay, open the door of the dishwasher, select the required washing program (see para 2.2 “Setting the washing program and switching on and off”). Select the day by pressing the Program delay button (ref. 11 fig. 2-02); each time you press the button, the display in­creases the delay before the appliance starts by 1 hour.
SPREAD HALF LOAD
Suitable when there are not many dishes to be washed, it saves energy and reduces the program duration. Place dishes in both baskets then load the detergent dispenser than less than the normal amount for a full load.
˜˜˜
ENERSAVE OPTION
This option further reduces energy consumption by opening the door at the end of the cycle for more effective drying. At the end of the wash an automatic device releases the door, which slowly opens by a few centimetres. This allows optimal drying even with low rinsing temperatures, for significant energy saving. The dishwasher remains in an idle state between the rinse stage and the end of the cycle to allow proper drying (the display shows the time left until the end of the cycle). Opening the door at this stage causes the cycle to stop and ends the program. The program end is signalled by a short beep and the flashing of the indicator lights for programs 4 and 5. Enersave is activated automatically if the selected program is compatible with the option. It can be deactivated before the pro­gram is started.
When the function is activated, opening of the door must not be impeded in any way; do not leave anything in the necessary space in front of the door to allow it to open. Do not force the door lock before the end of the cycle is signalled, as this would damage the mechanism.

3 ENERGY SAVING AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSID-
ERATIONS
Always try to run the dishwasher fully loaded.
• Do not wash the dishes under a running tap.
• Use the most suitable washing program for each type of load.
• Do not pre-rinse.
• If available, connect the dishwasher to a hot water system with a tem­perature of up to 60°C (140°F).
• When possible, skip the drying cycle by opening the door after wash- ing: the air and the residue heat will dry the dishes to perfection.
3.1 Reducing the consumption of detergent and re-
specting the environment
The phosphates contained in dishwasher detergents are harmful to the environment. To avoid using excessive amounts of detergent and to save on electricity:
• Separate the more delicate items from those that are more resistant to aggressive detergents and high temperatures;
• Do not pour the detergent directly onto the dishes.

5 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE STARTING TO USE THE APPLIANCE, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD ALL THE WARNINGS CONTAINED IN CHAPTER 2 “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUC­TION”.
Once the dishwasher has been correctly installed, prepare for use as follows:
• adjust the water softening system;
• add the regenerating salt;
• add the rinse-aid and detergent.
5.1 Using the water softening system
The amount of scale contained in the water (water hardness index) can cause whit-ish staining on the dry dishes, which tend to become dull over time. The dishwasher is equipped with an automatic softening system which uses a special regenerating salt to reduce the hardness of the water. The dishwasher is factory set for water hardness level 3 (average hardness 41- 60°dF – 24-31°dH / 23.6-35 gpg). When using water of medium hardness, the regenerating salt container should be refilled after approximately 20 washing cycles. The salt container can hold approximately 1.7 Kg (3.75 lb) of salt in grains. Some models are equipped with an optical no-salt indica­tor. In these models, the cap of the salt container contains a green float which descends as the salt concentration in the water drops. When the green float can no longer be seen, the container must be topped up with regenerating salt. The container is situated at the bottom of the dishwasher. After removing the lower rack, unscrew the salt container cap (ref. A fig. 5-01) by turning it anticlockwise and pour in the salt using the funnel (ref. A fig. 5-02) supplied with the dishwasher. Before replacing the cap (ref. A fig. 5-01), remove any salt residues from around the opening.

Fig. 5-01
USER INSTRUCTIONS
S A LT
A
Fig. 5-02
• When using the dishwasher for the first time, in addition to the salt it is also necessary to add one liter of water to the container.
• Each time the salt container is refilled, make sure that the cap (ref. A fig. 5-01) is securely closed. The mixture of water and detergent must never penetrate 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 regenerating salt specially formulated for domestic dishwash­ers. If using salt tablets, do not fill the container completely.
Do not use table salt as it contains insoluble substances which, over time, may damage the water softening system.
• When necessary, refill the regenerating salt container before starting the washing program. In this way, the excess saline solution will be im­mediately removed by the water; the 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.

Fig. 5-04
To add rinse aid:
• Open the door.
• Rotate the container cover (ref. A fig. 5-04) 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 (ref. B fig. 5-04), on the side of the cap should be completely obscured. Refill the rinse aid when the optical level indica­tor becomes clear again, or when the rinse aid warning light illuminates (see “Description of controls” manual).
• Replace the cover (ref. A fig. 5-04) by turning it in a clockwise direction until it is fully closed.
• Use a cloth to remove any spillage of rinse aid which might lead to the formation of excess foam.
EN
5.2.2 Adjusting the rinse-aid dispenser setting
The rinse-aid dispenser can be set to one of 6 different levels. The dish­washer is factory set for medium water hardness (selector set to “3”). To change the setting, turn the dispenser selector (ref. c fig. 5-04) to the desired position: the amount of rinse-aid dispensed is proportional to the position of this selector. Make sure that the minimum amount of rinse-aid (selector turned to “1”) is approximately 1 ml and the maximum amount (selector turned to “6”) is approximately 6 ml.
21
EN
USER INSTRUCTIONS
• To adjust the rinse aid setting, rotate the dispenser cover (ref. A fig. 5-04) through a quarter turn in an anticlockwise direction and remove it.
• Then use a screwdriver to rotate the rinse aid selector to the desired position.
• Replace the cover (ref. A fig. 5-04) by turning it in a clockwise direction until it is fully closed.
• The amount of rinse aid must be increased if the washed dishes ap­pear dull or feature circular stains.
• If, on the other hand, the dishes are sticky or have white streaks, it is necessary to reduce the rinse aid setting.
5.2.3 Adding the detergent
DO NOT INHALE OR SWALLOW DETERGENT AS THIS MAY CAUSE BURNS AND/OR PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE NOSE, MOUTH AND THROAT, AND EVEN LEADING TO SUFFOCATION; KEEP DE­TERGENT AWAY FROM YOUR EYES. IF ONE OF THE ABOVE SITUA­TIONS OCCURS, SEEK MEDICAL ASSISTANCE IMMEDIATELY. PREVENT CHILDREN FROM COMING INTO CONTACT WITH DETER­GENT; KEEP THEM AWAY FROM THE DISHWASHER WHEN THE DOOR IS OPEN AS IT MAY CONTAIN DETERGENT RESIDUES. FILL THE DISH­WASHER JUST BEFORE STARTING THE WASHING CYCLE AND THEN KEEP THE DETERGENT OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
To open the detergent dispenser cover, lightly press the relative button (ref. A fig. 5-05). Add the detergent and close the cover carefully, pushing down on the arrow (ref. B fig. 5-05). During the washing cycle, the dis­penser will be opened automatically.

• When a program with hot prewash is selected (see program table in the “Description of Controls” manual), extra detergent must be placed in the cavity (ref. A or B fig. 5-06, depending on models).
• Only use dishwasher-specific detergents. 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 washing re­sults. Once opened the detergent packs should not be kept for too long, otherwise the detergent loses 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 washing results.
• The market offers liquid and powder detergents 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 (140°F).
• Enzyme detergents, on the other hand, are also effective at lower tem­peratures (from 40 to 55°C / from 104 to 131°F) and are more easily biodegradable. With enzyme detergents it is possible to obtain at low temperatures comparable results to those which can only be achieved at 65°C (149°F) using traditional detergents. For the safeguarding of the environment we recommend the use of phosphate- and chlorine- free detergents.

USER INSTRUCTIONS
• When using detergent tabs, place them in the cutlery basket. The dis­penser has been designed for powder or liquid detergent. As the cover does not open completely during the washing cycle, tabs are not fully released (dissolved). This could generate the following problems:
- insufficient detergent released during the cycle and poor washing
results;
- the detergent is compacted in the dispenser and is released during
the final rinse circle.
THE INTRODUCTION OF DETERGENT INTO THE RINSE AID DISPENSER, EVEN IN LIQUID FORM, WILL DAMAGE THE DISHWASHER.
5.3 General warnings and recommendations
Before using the dishwasher for the first time, it is advisable to read the following recommendations concerning dish types to be washed and their loading. There are generally no constraints on the washing of domestic dishes, but in certain cases it is necessary to take their characteristics into account. Before loading the dishes into the racks it is necessary to:
• remove coarse food remains: e.g. bones, fish bones, etc. which may clog the filter or damage the wash pump;
• soak any pots or pans with burnt-on food remains on the bottom to facilitate removal, then load them into the LOWER RACK.
Use the “½ the load wash” option (if available) for washing small amounts of dishes; it saves water and electricity. When using this function, only load the rack selected for the ½ load wash; the other rack must re­main empty. There is no need to pre-wash the dishes under running water before loading them into the racks since this only wastes water. Correct
loading of the dishes helps ensure optimal washing results.
WARNING!
• 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 washing cycle;
• do not place very small objects in the racks as these could fall and obstruct the spray arms or the wash 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 one other;
• do not place glasses too close together because they may knock against each other and break, or there might be staining at the point where they touch.
24
USER INSTRUCTIONS
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 washing temperatures.
Handcrafted items: these are rarely suitable for washing in a dish- washer. The relatively high water temperatures and the detergents used may damage them.
Lightweight objects: place lightweight objects in the upper rack where the water pressure is lower.
Dishes and objects in copper, tin, zinc or brass: these tend to stain.
Aluminum dishes: items made from anodized aluminum may lose their color.
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 clearness after many washings. Therefore, for these items we recommend using the least aggressive program avail­able (see “Description of controls” manual).
Decorated items: the decorated objects available on the market are generally able to withstand washing in the dishwasher, although the colors may fade after a great many washes. If in doubt as to the fast­ness of the colors, it is advisable to wash just a few items at a time for approximately one month.

WARNINGS
Before starting the dishwasher after prolonged disuse
• Check that there are no deposits of sludge or rust inside the water pipe: if there are, allow the water to run from the water supply tap for a few minutes.
• Plug the power cord back into the socket.
• Reconnect the water intake hose and open the tap again.
6.6 Troubleshooting minor problems
In some cases it is possible to remedy minor problems by referring to the following instructions:
If the program fails to start, check that:
• the dishwasher is connected to the electrical power supply;
• there is no power failure;
• the water tap is open;
• the dishwasher door is properly closed.
• the door won’t close > The door latch was released > Use greater strength to close the door.
If water remains inside the dishwasher, check that:
EN
• the drain hose is not kinked;
• the drain siphon is not obstructed;
• the dishwasher filters are not clogged.
If the dishes do not come out clean, check that:
• the correct amount of detergent has been added;
• there is regenerating salt inside the special container;
• the dishes are being loaded correctly;
• the selected program is suitable for the dish types and their degree of soiling;
• all the filter are clean and positioned correctly;
• the spray arm nozzles are not obstructed;
• there is no object obstructing the rotation of the spray arms.
39
EN
WARNINGS
If the dishes fail to dry or remain dull, check that:
• there is rinse aid inside the special container;
• the rinse aid dispenser setting is correct;
• the detergent used is of good quality and has not lost its effectiveness (for example, through incorrect storage, with the box left open).
• Non-dry synthetic dishes.
Synthetic material has a lower heat storage capacity and is therefore
harder to dry.
If the dishes show signs of streaking, staining, etc., check that:
• the rinse aid dispenser setting is not too high.
If there are visible traces of rust inside the tank:
• the tank is made of steel, and therefore any rust marks are due to exter­nal elements (fragment of rust from the water pipes, pots, cutlery, etc.) Special products are commercially available to remove such marks.
• check that the amount of detergent being used is correct. Certain de­tergents can be more corrosive than others.
• check that the cap of the salt container is securely closed, and that the water softening setting is correct.

CHECK THAT THE MAINS SUPPLY IN THE PLACE OF INSTAL­LATION COMPLIES WITH THE REGULATIONS IN FORCE IN THE COUNTRY OF USE, AND THAT IT IS CORRECTLY EARTHED.
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. IN CASE OF A MAL­FUNCTION OF FAULT, THE EARTH REDUCES THE RISK OF ELECTROCUTION BY PROVIDING THE ELECTRICAL CUR­RENT WITH AN ALTERNATIVE, LESS RESISTANT PATH. THIS APPLIANCE IS FITTED WITH A SUPPLY CORD CONTAINING AN EARTH WIRE AND PLUG. FIT THE PLUG INTO A SUIT­ABLE SOCKET, INSTALLED AND EARTHED IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAWS IN FORCE IN THE COUNTRY OF INSTAL­LATION.
AN INCORRECTLY CONNECTED EARTH WIRE MAY GENER­ATE THE RISK OF ELECTROCUTION. IF IN DOUBT AS TO THE CORRECT EARTHING OF THE APPLIANCE, CALL IN A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN OR THE TECHNICAL ASSIS­TANCE SERVICE. DO NOT CHANGE THE PLUG ATTACHED TO THE APPLIANCE. IF THE PLUG IS NOT SUITABLE FOR THE SOCKET, CALL IN A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN TO FIT A SUITABLE PLUG.
IN THE EVENT OF DAMAGE TO THE SUPPLY CORD, HAVE IT REPLACED BY THE MANUFACTURER OR AN AUTHORIZED TECHNICAL SERVICE CENTRE IN ORDER TO AVOID ANY RISK.
DO NOT USE EXTENSION CORDS, ADAPTORS OR SHUNT CONNECTIONS IN ORDER TO AVOID THE POSSIBILITY OF OVERHEATING OR BURNING, WITH CONSEQUENT FIRE HAZARD.
