1.2 Washing programs
Before starting a wash program, check that:
• The water supply tap is open.
• The softener container contains regenerating salt.
• The correct amount of detergent has been added to
the dispenser.
• The baskets have been correctly loaded.
• The spray arms are able to rotate freely and without
obstruction.
• The dishwasher door is securely closed.
Button gives access to the extra programs in addition to the ones which can be selected directly using the program selector button. This button must be pressed (the light comes on) after selection of the “main” program (1,2,3,4 or 5). This function is retained in the memory, so the button has to be pressed again (the light goes out) if the user wishes to execute one of the 5 main programs at the next cycle.
These are activated by pressing two buttons simultaneously as shown by the graphics on the control panel (e.g. “3 in 1” in this illustration)
Suitable when there are not many dishes to be washed, it saves energy and reduces the program duration. Spread dishes across both baskets; the detergent dispenser should be loaded with less than the normal amount for a full load.

DELAYED START
User instructions
3 in 1
Specifically for washing with combination dishwasher 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 are loaded. 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 this option is not provided with your dishwasher, we recommend the use of conventional products (separate detergent, salt and rinse aid), because with conventional wash cycles, combined products might create problems such as a white deposit, poor drying results and residues on dishes.
For further information, refer to the detergent pack. IMPORTANT:
when no longer required, the option must be deactivated by pressing the corresponding button (the light will turn off).
These products

CANCELLING A PROGRAM IN PROGRESS
CHANGING THE PROGRAM
• Open the door, taking care to avoid splashes of water,
• and hold down the PROGRAM SELECTION (3) button for a few
seconds until the indicator lights for programs 4 and 5 come on simultaneously (marked "end").
• Close the door.
• After approximately 1 minute the dishwasher will advance to the end
of cycle.
To change the program in progress, simply open the door and select a new program. When the door is closed the dishwasher will automatically run the new program.
TO SAVE ENERGY AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT
• Always use the dishwasher with a full load.
• Do not wash the dishes in running water.
• Use the wash program that is most appropriate for each type of
load.
• Do not perform 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.

REMOVING THE DISHES
User instructions
If the door must be opened while a wash cycle is in progress, the program will be interrupted. The corresponding light will continue to flash and a beeper will signal that the cycle has not been completed. You must wait about 1 minute before closing the door to restart the program. When the door is closed the program will continue from where it was interrupted. This operation should only be carried out if strictly necessary, as it could cause problems in running the program.
At the end of the program the beeper sounds briefly and the lights of programs no. 4 and 5 (marked "end") flash.
To switch off the dishwasher, open the door and press the button (1).
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.

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).
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.
SALT

ADJUSTING THE WATER SOFTENING SYSTEM
WATER
User instructions
• 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. Adjustment is made using the PROGRAM SELECTION BUTTON (3).
● Hold the button down for more than 15 seconds. The
HARDNESS ADJUSTMENT INDICATOR LIGHT (4) flashes, while the SELECTED PROGRAM INDICATOR LIGHTS (2) show the current
setting.
● Each press of the button changes the selection, following the sequence in the table below.
>
After adjusting or displaying the current setting, simply do not touch the
button for a few seconds; the dishwasher will automatically return to standard mode, quitting the adjustment mode.

2.2 Using the rinse aid and detergent dispensers
The detergent and rinse aid
dispensers are situated on the inner part of the door: the detergent
dispenser is on the left, and the rinse aid dispenser is on the right.
With the exception of the SOAK program, it is necessary to add the required amount of detergent to the detergent dispenser before every wash cycle. The rinse aid, on the other hand, should only be added as required.

Page 14
ADDING RINSE AID
ADJUSTING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER SETTING
User instructions
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.
The dishwasher is factory set for medium water hardness. It is possible to change this setting by turning the dispenser selector to the required position: the amount of rinse aid dispensed depends on the selector position.
• 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.

User instructions
ADDING DETERGENT
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.

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.
16
Page 17
User instructions
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 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.

GENERAL WARNINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CORRECT MAINTENANCE:
• The filters should be cleaned under running water using a stiff brush.
• When removing the filter, take care that there are no food residues on it. If any residues fall into the sump they might block hydraulic components or the spray arm nozzles.
• It is essential to thoroughly clean the filters according to the above instructions: the dishwasher cannot function if the filters are clogged.
• Carefully replace the filters to avoid damaging the pump.
PROLONGED DISUSE:
• Run the soak program twice in succession.
• Unplug the power cord from the socket.
• Leave the door slightly open in order to prevent the formation of
unpleasant odours inside the wash tank.
• Fill the rinse aid dispenser.
• Shut off the water supply tap.
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.
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 electricity supply
• There is no power outage
• The water tap is open
• The dishwasher door is properly closed
If water remains inside the dishwasher, check that:
• The drainage hose is not kinked
• The drainage trap is not blocked
• The dishwasher filters are not clogged
Page 27
User instructions
If the dishes do not come out clean, check that:
• The correct amount of detergent has been added
• The salt container is not empty
• The dishes have been loaded correctly
• The selected program is suitable for the dish types and their degree
of soiling
• All filters are clean and correctly installed
• The spray arm nozzles are not clogged
• There is nothing obstructing the rotation of the spray arms
If the dishes fail to dry or remain dull, check that:
• The rinse aid container is not empty
• 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)
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 stainless steel, and therefore any rust marks are due to external elements (fragments of rust from the water pipes, pots, cutlery etc.). Special products are available to remove such marks.
• Check that the detergent dose 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.
If the problem persists after following the troubleshooting instructions above, call the nearest Authorised Service Centre.

Alarm E7 is displayed at the end of the cycle which is finished regardless of the problem, as operation of the dishwasher is not affected.
To reset an alarm:
•
open and close the door, or turn the machine off and on again. The dishwasher can now be programmed again.
If the malfunction persists, contact your Authorised Service Centre.
