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

PROGRAMS DESCRIPTION) and should be filled when the SALT REFILL
indicator light

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, we recommend carrying out the
procedure before the washing cycle is started.

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 off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.

1.Remove the lower rack and unscrew the
reservoir cap (anticlockwise).

2.Position the funnel
reservoir right up to its edge (approximately 1 kg);
it is not unusual for a little water to leak out.

3.Remove the funnel and wipe any salt residue
away from the opening.

*) Not all options can be used simultaneously.
**) The duration of the program shown on the display or in the booklet is an estimate calculated on standard conditions. The actual time may vary
depending on many factors such as temperature and pressure of the incoming water, room temperature, amount of detergent, quantity and type of load,
load balancing, additional selected options and sensor calibration. The sensor calibration can increase program duration up to 20 min.
Standby consumption: Left-on mode consumption: 5 W - Off mode consumption: 0.5 W.

PROGRAMS DESCRIPTION

Instructions on wash cycle selection.

ECO 50°

Normally soiled crockery. Standard program, the most efficient in terms
of its combined energy and water consumption.

6th SENSE ®

For normally soiled dishes with dried food residues. Senses the level of
soiling on the dishes and adjusts the program accordingly. When the
sensor is detecting the soil level an animation appears in the display
and the cycle duration is updated.

INTENSIVE 65°

Program recommended for heavily soiled crockery, especially suitable
for pans and saucepans (not to be used for delicate items).

DAILY 50°

Normally soiled crockery. Everyday cycle, that ensures optimal cleaning
performance in shorter time.

SILENT 50°

Suitable for night-time operation of the appliance. Optimum
performance ensured.

RAPID 30’ 50°

Program to be used for lightly-soiled dishes with no dried food
residues. (Ideal for 2 place settings).

CRISTAL 45°

Cycle for delicate items, which are more sensitive to high temperatures,
for example glasses and cups.

PRE-WASH

Crockery to be washed later. No detergent to be used with this
program.

Notes:

Optimum performance levels when using the “1 Hour” and “Rapid”
programs can be achieved by observing the maximum amounts of
specified place settings.

To reduce consumption even further, only run the dishwasher
when it is full.
