Salt, Detergent and Rinse Aid ....
After pouring in the detergent, replace the lid, pressing down
until it clicks.
Salt
The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If
hard water is used in the dishwasher, deposits will form on
the dishes and utensils.
Dishwasher detergent in tablets is now available on the
market, in which case you should place one tablet into
container "D" and replace the lid.
Notice: To facilitate closing the cover, remove any
excess detergent on the edges of the dispenser.
The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses
a salt specifically designed to eliminate lime and minerals
from the water.
Rinse Aid
Loading the Salt into the Softener
Always use salt intended
for use with dishwashers.
The salt container is located
beneath the lower rack
This product makes dishes sparkle more as it improves their
drying. The rinse aid container is situated on the inside of the
appliance door; you should refill it when you see the container
is empty by means of indicator light “D”.
and should be filled as
follows:
1. Remove the lower rack
(If your dishwasher is fitted with a “low rinse aid” indicator
light, fill the container up when the indicator light flashes or
lights up).
and then unscrew and
remove the cap from the
salt container;
2. If you are filling the
container for the first time,
fill it with water;
3. Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and
introduce about 2 kg of salt. It is normal for a small amount
of water to come out of the salt container.
4. Carefully screw the cap back on.
The salt container should be filled after about every
30 wash cycles.
Loading the Rinse Aid
To open the dispenser, turn the "C" cap in the anti-clockwise
direction and then pour in the rinse aid, making sure not to
overfill. The amount of rinse aid used for each cycle can be
regulated by turning the "F" dose adjustor, located beneath
the "C" cap, with a screwdriver. There are 6 different
settings; the normal dosage setting is 4.
Important:
Proper dosage of the rinse aid improves drying.
If drops of water remain on the dishes or spotting occurs,
the dosage adjustor should be turned to a higher setting. If
the dishes have white streaks, turn the dosage adjustor to a
lower setting.
Warning: To prevent rust from forming , we advise you to
load the salt before beginning a wash cycle.

Loading the Dishwasher
Load examples
Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove the
larger food particles to prevent the filter from becoming
clogged, which results in reduced performance.
If the pots and pans have baked-on food that is extremely
hard to remove, we recommend that they be allowed to
soak before they are washed. This will eliminate the need
for extra wash cycles.
Upper Rack
Lower Rack
Pull out the racks to facilitate loading the dishwasher.
How to Use the Lower Rack
We recommend that you place the most difficult to clean
items on the bottom rack: pots, pans, lids, serving dishes
and bowls, as shown in the figure to the right.
It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the
sides of the racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation
of the top spray arm.
Lower Rack
Upper Rack
- Pots, serving bowls, etc. must always be placed top
down.
- Deep pots should be slanted to allow the water to flow
out.
- Silverware should be placed in the silverware basket
with the handles at the bottom; If the rack has side
baskets, the spoons should be loaded individually into
the appropriate slots (see figure A)
Especially long utensils should be placed in the horizon-
tal position at the front of the upper rack.
How to Use the Upper Rack
The upper rack is designed to hold more delicate and
lighter dishware, such as glasses, coffee and tea cups
and saucers, as well as plates, small bowls and shallow
pans (as long as they are not too dirty).
- Position the dishes and cookware so that they do not
get moved by the spray of water.
Fig. A
How to adjust the Upper rack ...
The top rack can be adjusted using the two rack heights
(top and bottom). To adjust the rack, open up the tabs
that lock the guides and pull out the rack. Arrange the
rack with the back wheels in either the top or bottom
position and then insert it along the guides until the front
wheels are on as well. Close the tabs to lock the rack in
place (see Fig. F).

Turning on the Appliance
Starting a wash cycle ...
At the end of the wash cycle ....
After performing all the operations described in the previous
paragraphs, turn the water tap on completely, open the
appliance door and press ON-OFF button "A": indicator light
"B" comes on. Your appliance is now on and awaiting
instructions.
The end of the wash cycle is indicated by a double beep and
the flashing of the wash cycle indicator light "C". Open the
dishwasher door, press the ON-OFF button as well, thus cutting
off the electricity supply to the appliance.
Turn off the water tap.
Wait a few minutes before unloading the dishes: they are
very hot! If you wait a little while, they dry better thanks to
the steam.
Selecting a wash cycle …
Select the wash cycle by pressing button "P". Each time this
button is pressed, one of the indicator lights "C" will come
on in sequence, select the wash cycle you deem most suitable
for the type of dishes to wash (take a look at page 6, where
you will find the wash cycle table). Close the appliance door
and after a few seconds, you will hear a short beep: the
wash cycle has begun.
Empty the lower rack first.
Warning!
If opening the door soon after the end of the programme,or
during it, stand away from the Dishwasher, to avoid possible
injury from hot steam.
Canceling or changing a cycle while it is underway ...
Premise: You can modify the wash cycle in progress, if it has
only just started.
Open the appliance door carefully to avoid any hot water
splashes, then keep button "P" pressed for approximately 5
seconds, until you hear 3 short beeps. Indicator light "C" will
come off and at this point, all the settings will have been
cancelled. You are now free to re-set the correct wash cycle.
If you forgot to put some dishes in ...
The wash cycle can be interrupted by opening the door carefully
(to prevent sprays of hot water and hot steam). Put the dishes
into the dishwasher and close the door. The appliance will
start up where it left off.
There's been a power failure? Have you opened the
dishwasher door?
The wash cycle stops and then restarts when the electricity
comes back on or when you close the door.

Energy Saving Tips
- Use the right amount of detergent: if you use too much
detergent, the result will not be cleaner dishes, but, rather,
a greater negative impact on the environment.
- It is important to try and run the dishwasher when it is fully
loaded in order to save on energy. In order to prevent odors
from forming and food from caking onto the dishes, you
can run the hold cycle.
- There is no utility in rinsing dishes, cookware and utensils
before placing them in the dishwasher.
- Choose the right wash cycle: the choice of cycle depends
on the type of dishware, cookware and utensils being
washed and how dirty they are.
How to Keep Your Dishwasher in Shape
When You Go on Holiday
After Every Wash
When you go on holiday, it is recommended that you run a
wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and then remove
the plug from the socket, turn off the water supply and
leave the door of the appliance slightly ajar. This will help
the seals last longer and prevent odors from forming within
the appliance.
After every wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance
and leave the door slightly ajar so that moisture and odors
are not trapped inside.
Remove the Plug
Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove
the plug from the socket. Do not run risks.
Moving the Appliance
If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in the vertical
position. If absolutely necessary, it can be positioned on its
back.
No Solvents or Abrasive Cleaning Products
To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do
not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. Rather, use
only a cloth and warm soapy water.
To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior,
use a cloth dampened with water and a little white vinegar,
or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.
Seals
One of the factors that cause odors to form in the dishwasher
is food that remains trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning
with a damp sponge will prevent this from occuring.

Cleaning and Special Maintenance
Filter Assembly
If you want consistent good results from your dishwasher,
you need to clean the filter assembly.
The dishwasher is not to be used without filters. Improper
replacement of the filters may reduce the efficiency of the
wash and even damage your dishwasher.
The food particles are removed from the wash water, allowing
it to be recirculated during the cycle, filtered perfectly. For
this reason, it is a good idea to remove the larger food particles
trapped inside the cup “C”
Cleaning the Sprayer Arms
It may happen that food
particles

Cleaning the Water Inlet Filter
For cleaning, use a non metallic brush.
Periodically clean the water inlet filter (see figure 2 under
"Installation") located on the outlet of the water supply tap.
After turning off the water tap, unscrew the end of the water
supply hose, remove the filter and clean it carefully under
running water. Then, return the filter to its place and tighten
the water supply hose back into position.
Reassemble the filter parts (as shown in the figure) and
reinsert the whole assembly into the dishwasher. Position it
into its housing and press downwards.
Troubleshooting
Error messages
It may occur that the dishwasher does not function or does
not function properly. Before calling for assistance, let us
see what can be done first: have you forgot to press one of
the buttons or to perform an essential operation?
The Dishwasher Does Not Start
Your dishwasher is equipped with a safety system which is
able to detect any operating anomalies. These anomalies
are reported by one or two cycle phase indicator lights "C"
flashing rapidly. Take a note of which lights are flashing, turn
the appliance off and call for technical assistance.
Have you checked whether:
- the plug is pushed into the socket correctly;
- the power is on in the house;
- the door is closed properly;
- the ON-OFF switch is on "ON";
- the water supply is turned on.
The Dishwasher Does Not Load Water
Have you checked whether:
- the water is turned on and the hose is connected properly;
- the water supply to the house is on and has sufficient
pressure;
- the water supply hose is crimped or bent;
- the filter for the water supply hose is clogged.
The Dishes Are Not Clean
Tap off alarm
If you have forgotten to turn the water tap on, your appliance
will remind you of this by sounding a few short beeps for a
few minutes. Turn the tap on and your appliance will start up
again after a few minutes. Were you to be absent when
these beeps are sounded, the appliance will be blocked
automatically and cycle 2 and 3 indicator lights (Normal and
Rapid) will flash rapidly. Turn the appliance off at the ON-
OFF button,turn on the water tap and wait approximately 20
seconds before turning the appliance back on, now the
program will start.
If, despite all these checks, the dishwasher still does not
function and/or the problem persists, contact the nearest
authorised service centre and provide them with the
following information:
- Have you put the right amount of detergent into the
dispenser?
- Is the wash cycle suitable for the dishes you have placed
inside the appliance?
- Are the filter and microfilter clean?
- Can the sprayer arms turn freely?
- the nature of the problem;
- the model type number (Mod. ...) and the serial number
(S/N ....), which are indicated on the plate located on the
side of the inner part of the door.
The Dishwasher Does Not Drain
Have you checked whether:
- the drain hose is crimped or bent.
Never call on unauthorised technicians and refuse to
allow parts to be installed that are not original spare
parts.
Lime Deposits or a White Film Form on the Dishes
Have you checked whether:
- the lid to the salt container is closed properly;
- the rinse aid dosage is correct.

Installation
Drain Hose Connection
Positioning the Appliance
Insert the drain hose into a
drain pipe with a minimum
diameter of 4 cm., or let it run
into the sink, making sure to
avoid bending or crimping it.
Use the speical plastic support
that comes with the appliance
(see figure to the right). The
free end of the hose must be
at a height between 40 and
100 cm and must not be
immersed in water.
Position the appliance in the desired location. The back
should rest against the wall behind it, and the sides, along
the adjacent cabinets or wall. The dishwasher is equipped
with water supply and drain hoses that can be positioned to
the right or the left to facilitate proper installation.
Levelling the Appliance
Once the appliance is positioned, adjust the feet (screwing
them in or out) to adjust the height of the dishwasher, making
it level. In any case, the appliance should not be inclined
more than 2°.
If the appliance is level, it will help ensure proper perfor-
mance.
Attention: The special plastic hose support must be solidly
fastened to the wall to prevent the drain hose from moving
and allowing water to spill outside the drain.
Cold Water Connection
Connect the cold water supply
hose to a threaded 3/4 (gas)
connector, inserting the small
filter supplied with the
dishwasher and making sure
that it is fastened tightly in place
(see figure 2).
If the water pipes are new or
have not been used for an
extended period of time, let the
water run to make sure that the water is clear and free of
impurities. If this precaution is not taken, there is a risk that
Electrical Connection
After making sure that the voltage and frequency values for
the current in the home correspond to those on the rating
plate (located on the stainless steel inner door of the
appliance) and that the electrical system is sized for the
maximum voltage on the rating plate, insert the plug into
an electrical socket which is earthed properly (the earthing
of the appliance is a safety requirement mandated by law).
If the electrical socket to which the appliance must be
connected is not appropriate for the plug, replace the plug,
rather than using adpators or the like as they could cause
overheating and burns.

inlet can get blocked and damage the
Caution: the dishwasher plug must be accessible even when
the appliance is installed as a built-in unit so that maintenance
can be done safely.
Hot Water Connection
The water supply to the appliance can also be connected to
the house's hot water line (centralised system, heating
system), as long as it does not exceed a temperature of 60°
C.
In this case, the wash cycle time will be shortened by about
15 minutes and the wash efficiency slightly reduced.
The connection must be made to the hot water line following
the same procedures as those for the connection to the cold
water line.
Should the electricity supply cable be damaged, we
recommend that you only contact authorised Technical Service
Centres for the replacement.
