3. HOW TO USE THE APPLIANCE
PROGRAMME SELECTION
Press the button or to bring up the desired programme on the display. The appliance must be switche d
on. If required, select options (if supplied). The corresponding indicator lamp switches on. Appropriate
programmes and relative available options are detailed in table 1.1 on page 1.
Programme times stated in the table were obtained under normal conditions and may vary
depending on conditions. Differences of up to 20 minutes are possible with sensor programmes
as a result of the appliance's automatic calibration system.
HOW TO FILL THE DETERGENT DISPENSER
Only fill the detergent dispenser prior to starting a wash programme.
specially recommended for dishwashers, observing the manufacturer's recommended dosage.
Observe the manufacturer's safety warnings!
Open the detergent dispenser compartments by pushing the left lever (lever 1) of the dispenser.
a. Powder/gel/tabs
Fill the detergent dispenser compartments in accordance with the wash programme selected (table 1.1).
Programmes without pre-wash:
pour the entire recommended dosage into compartment A.
Programmes with pre-wash:
pour 2/3 of the recommended dosage into the large compartment
and 1/3 into the small compartment B.
A
Dishwasher tabs should be placed, according to the
manufacturer's recommendations, in compartment A or in the
cutlery basket.
If the “Half load” option is selected, detergent dosage should be
reduced by approximately 1/3.
b. Combined action detergents (2 in 1/3 in 1/... etc.)
Combined action detergents should be placed, according to the
manufacturer's recommendations, in compartment A or in the
cutlery basket.
Firmly press the detergent compartment lid shut after filling.
Detergents with rinse aid incorporated may be effective only with longer programmes. In the
case of shorter programmes, detergent residue may be a problem (if necessary, use powder
detergent). Detergents with rinse aid incorporated tend to form excess suds.
The guarantee is not applicable if faults are caused by the use of these products.

HOW TO CHECK/FILL/ADJUST RINSE AID
Not necessary when using a combined action detergent.
a. How to check the rinse aid level
Check the visual indicator C on the rinse aid dispenser: dark = sufficient rinse aid, clear = add rinse aid.
In the case of appliances with an electric indicator on the
control panel, the rinse aid indicator lamp lights up red
when rinse aid needs to be added.
b. How to fill the rinse aid dispenser
Open the rinse aid dispenser by pressing the right lever
(lever 2) of the dispenser.
Fill the dispenser with rinse aid up to the “max” line
(approx. 100 ml).
Shut the lid again.
Only use rinse aids recommended for use in domestic dishwashers.

c. How to adjust the rinse aid dosage regulator
The rinse aid dosage can be adjusted to the detergent used. The lower the setting, the less
rinse aid is dispensed (factory setting: position 4).
Press the lever 2 to open the cover.
Using a coin or similar object, turn the arrow to the desired setting.
After adjusting the rinse aid setting, shut the cover again.
If there are streaks: reduce the dosage by turning the dial to a lower setting (1-3). If crockery is
not perfectly dry: increase the dosage by turning the dial to a higher setting (5-6). Plastic dishes
have more difficulty drying and a higher rinse aid setting will not improve the situation.
HOW TO CHECK/FILL/ADJUST SALT
Only use
regeneration salt specifically for dishwashers.
a. How to check the salt level
Depending on the model, check the visual indicator . The window on the salt reservoir cap is clear when salt
needs to be added and orange when the salt present is sufficient. In the case of appliances with an electric indicator on
the control panel, the salt indicator lamp lights up red when salt needs to be added.
b. How to fill the salt container
- Remove the lower rack.
- Turn the salt container cap anti-clockwise to open it.
- When using the dishwasher for the first time, fill the salt container to the rim with water.
- Using the funnel provided, fill with regeneration salt to the rim (the first time,
min. 1.5 kg/max. 2 kg).
- Stir with the handle of a wooden spoon to help dissolve the salt.
- Close the cap of the salt container by turning it clockwise.
- Reinsert the lower rack.

- Press the START button for at least 5 seconds until the START indicator lamp flashes.
- The set water hardness level is shown on the display (if present) or the START button flashes.
- With each successive touch of the START button the setting increases and when it reaches 7 it returns to 1 again.
- The appliance must be switched off to memorise the new setting.

Even if you use a combined action detergent which includes salt, you must still add regeneration
salt since such detergents are not effective enough at softening hard water.
If the appliance is equipped with the function “Select detergent” (see chapter “1. Overview”),
set the detergent dispenser system to the “no salt” setting so that the salt indicator lamp remains
activated (“Detergent with rinse aid”).

4. PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Packing
The packaging materials are 100% recyclable and marked with the recycling symbol. .
2. Removing the packaging and inspecting the contents
After unpacking, make sure that the dishwasher is undamaged and that the door closes correctly. If in doubt, contact a
qualified technician or your local retailer.
3. Before using the dishwasher for the first time
- The appliance is designed to operate at ambient temperatures of between 5°C and 45°C.
- This dishwasher has been tested by the manufacturer to ensure it functions correctly. Such testing may leave slight
drips/ water marks which will disappear with the first wash.
4. Energy and water savings
- Do not rinse crockery under running water.
- Always fully load the dishwasher before running it or select the “Half load/Multizone” function (if available).
- If ecological energy sources are available such as solar panel heating, heat pumps or centralised heating systems, the
appliance may be connected to the hot water mains up to a maximum temperature of 60° C. Make sure the water inlet
hose is of the correct type (“70°C Max” or “90°C Max”).
5. Child safety
- Keep the packaging materials out of the reach of children.
- Children must not be allowed to play with the dishwasher.
- Store the detergent, rinse aid and salt out of the reach of children.
6. Safety warnings
- The appliance is not intended for use by children or physically or mentally impaired persons, unless adequately
supervised by a responsible adult capable of guaranteeing safe use of the appliance.
- Do not operate the appliance in the open air.
- Do not store flammable materials in close proximity to the dishwasher.
- The water in the dishwasher is not potable.
- Do not use solvents inside the dishwasher:
- Be careful when the door is open:
- The open dishwasher door can only support the weight of the loaded rack when pulled out. Do not rest objects on
the open door or sit or stand on it.
- Sharp items that might cause injury (e.g. knives), must be placed in the cutlery basket with the sharp end facing
downwards. Long-handled utensils must be arranged horizontally in the upper rack, with the sharp end facing away
from the front of the appliance.
- Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance, switch off the appliance and turn off the water tap; also after
programme end in the event of any malfunction.
- Repairs and technical modifications must be carried out exclusively by a qualified technician.
7. Resistance to frost
If the appliance is placed in surroundings exposed to the risk of frost, it must be drained completely.
Turn off the water tap, remove the inlet and outlet hoses, and let all the water drain away. Make sure there is at least
1 kg of dissolved regeneration salt in the salt container, to protect the appliance from temperatures of up to -21°C.
When the programme resumes, an error message may be displayed.
“F1”/START indicator flashes once: pour half a litre of warm water into the bottom of the dishwasher.
“F6”/START indicator flashes 6 times: the appliance must remain at an ambient temperature of min. 5°C for at least 24 hours.
After eliminating these faults, RESET the appliance (see chapter “5. What to do if...”).
8. Disposal
- The appliance is manufactured using recyclable materials. If you decide to scrap the dishwasher, it must be
disposed of in compliance with local waste disposal regulations. Make it unusable by cutting off the power cord. To
prevent situations of potential danger to children (e.g. danger of suffocation), break the lock of the door so that it
can no longer be closed.
