Audible signals
Audible signals have been introduced to help indicate which
operations the dishwasher is performing.
Short "instruction accepted" signal
When any of the push buttons are pressed (except the
On/Off push button), a short audible signal informs you that
the machine has accepted the instruction given.
Long "programme run" signal
A continuous audible signal, heard only when you close the
door, informs you that the washing programme is starting.
Intermittent "end of programme" signal
An intermittent audible signal informs you that the wash
programme has ended.
To deactivate the audible signals, press simultaneously and
keep pressed both 3 and 4 push buttons, during the pressure
of the push buttons an intermittent audible signal will be heard
for about 3 seconds, after this time the audible signal will turn
off, this means that the audible signals have been deactivated.
To reactivate the audible signals, press simultaneously and
keep pressed both 3 and 4 push buttons, during the pressure
of the push buttons an intermittent audible signal will be heard
for about 3 seconds, after this time an intermittent audible
signal will start, this means that the audible signals have been
reactivated.
Both operations (to deactivate or reactivate the audible
signals) must be carried out before starting a washing
programme; the setting will remain memorised after
switching off the dishwasher.

This dishwasher model is
supplied with the SID
detergent dispenser, located
in the centre of the upper
basket. In this case add the
required detergent for the
prewash in the SID.
Check that the SID is not
clogged with detergent
residue. If necessary rinse it
under running water after
having removed it from the
basket by twisting it
anticlockwise and pulling it
upwards.
Fasten it back onto the
support by turning it
clockwise.
Never use our dishwasher without the SID dispenser.
Since SID also ensures correct distribution of the water to
the upper spray arm, running the dishwasher without it
will impair the washing results.

Important!
In general it is not advisable to open the door while the
machine is working; if the door is opened however, a
safety device ensures that the machine stops.
Care must be taken if the door is opened during the hot
phase or immediately after a programme has finished, as
steam may escape.
When the washing programme has finished, it is
recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and the
water tap turned off.

Operating sequence
Loading your appliance
Before placing dishes in the machine, remove any scraps of
food, to avoid clogging the filters and consequently reducing
the performance.
Do not load very small items which can fall through the
baskets.
Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes.
The lower basket
The lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates,
salad bowls, cutlery etc.
Serving dishes and large lids should be arranged around the
edge of the basket, ensuring that the upper spray arm can
turn freely.
The cutlery basket
Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a
potential hazard.
Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives
must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket.
Take care when loading or unloading sharp items such as
knives.
Cutlery should be placed in the removable cutlery basket with
the handles facing downwards.
If the handles protrude from the bottom of the basket,
obstructing the lower spray arm, load the cutlery with the
handles facing upwards.
Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent them from sticking
together.
Silver cutlery tends to go black if mixed with steel cutlery.
Place it in the cutlery basket separate from the others.
For best results we recommend to use the cutlery grids
provided (if the size and dimensions of the cutlery allow it).
The cutlery basket is in two parts which can be separated to
give greater loading flexibility. To separate the two parts, slide
them horizontally in opposite directions and pull them apart. to
reassemble, reverse the procedure.
The upper basket
The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates,
saucers, dinner plates of up to 24 cm in diameter), salad
bowls, cups and glasses.
Arrange items so that water
can reach all surfaces.
Glasses with long stems can
be placed upside down in the
cup racks.
Light items (plastic bowls
etc.) should be loaded in the
upper basket and arranged
so they do not move.
In case that plates are loaded in the upper
basket:
load them starting from the
rear positions of the basket,
tilting them forwards and
avoiding the front positions
near the door.
Attention!
Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can
rotate freely.
Adjusting the height of the upper
basket
If washing very large plates (over 27 cm and up to 31 cm in
diameter) you can load them in the lower basket after moving
the upper basket to the higher position.
To move to the higher position proceed as follows:
1. Move the front runner
stops (A) of the upper
basket outwards and slide
the basket out.
2. Refit the basket in the
higher position and
replace the stops (A) in
their original position.
When the top basket is in the higher position it will only take
plates up to 20 cm in diameter and you will not be able to use
the cup racks.
Attention!
After loading your machine always close the door, as an
open door can be a hazard.
