READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
BEFORE USE
When using the dishwasher, comply with the
following:
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In case of
malfunction or failure, grounding reduces the
risk of electric shock by creating a path of least
resistance for the electric current. This appliance
is equipped with a power cable comprising a
ground wire and a plug with ground contact.
The power supply plug must be inserted in a
suitable socket installed and grounded in
conformity with all the local codes and
regulations.
Incorrect connection of the appliance ground wire
can involve the risk of electric shock.
In case of doubt regarding the suitability of
appliance grounding, have it checked by a
qualified electrician or a maintenance technician.
If the plug supplied with the appliance is not
suitable for the socket, do not modify it. Have a
suitable socket arranged by a qualified
electrician.
PROPER USE
Do not use improperly, do not sit or lean on the
door or on the dishwasher grilles.
Switch the dishwasher on only when all the
closing panels are properly in place. Open the
door very carefully if the dishwasher is working,
because the water could spill out.
Do not place heavy objects on the door or lean
on it when open. The appliance could tip over.
When loading the dishes to be washed:
1) Place sharp items so that they cannot damage
the door seal;
2) Attention: knives and other sharp or pointed
utensils must be placed in the rack with the
tips or blades down, or be arranged flat.
Do not let plastic objects to come into contact
with the coil when the dishwasher is working.
(This instruction only applies to appliances with
the exposed coil.)
Check that the detergent dispenser is empty at
the end of the wash cycle.
Do not put plastic items that are not marked
dishwasher safe in the appliance. For plastic
items without the special a symbol, follow the
manufacturer’s recommendations.
Only use detergents and additives suitable for
automatic dishwashers.
Do not use soap, laundry detergents or hand
wash detergents in the dishwasher. Keep these

Before using the dishwasher for the first time:
A. Set the water softener
B. Pour ½ liter of water into the salt container and then fill it with dishwasher salt
C. Fill the rinse aid dispenser
D. Filling the detergent
A. Water softener
The water softener must be set manually, by means of the water hardness indicator. The water softener is
designed to remove minerals and salts which could compromise appliance operation. The higher the
content of these minerals and salts, the harder the water. The water softener must be adjusted according
to the water hardness in the place where the appliance is used. To find out the water hardness, contact
the local water supply company.
Adjusting salt consumption
The dishwasher is designed to allow adjustment of the amount of salt consumed
according to the water hardness. In this way salt consumption can be optimized
and customized.
To adjust the salt consumption, proceed as follows.
1. Unscrew the cap from salt container.
2. The container has a ring with an arrow (see figure opposite); if necessary turn
the ring anticlockwise from the mark “-” to the mark “+”, depending on the
water hardness. Adjustments must made according to the following diagram:
Note 1
°dH = 1.25
°Clarke = 1.78
°fH = 0.178 mmol/l
°dH = German degree
°fH = French degree
°Clarke = British degree
Contact the local water supply company to know the hardness of the mains water.
Note: If the dishwasher model does not have a water softener, this section can be skipped.
Water softener
The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If very hard water is used, deposits accumulate on
the dishes and utensils.
The appliance is equipped with a special water softener that uses special salt to eliminate the lime and
minerals in the water.

B. Loading salt in the water softener
Always use dishwasher salt.
The salt container is located under the bottom rack and must be filled as explained below.
Attention!
Only use dishwasher salt! All other types of salt not specific for dishwashers, and especially table salt,
will damage the water softener. The manufacturer provides no guarantee for any damage caused by the
use of unsuitable salt.
Fill with salt only before starting one of the complete wash programs. This will prevent any grains of
salt or spilled salt water from remaining on the bottom of the machine and eventually causing
corrosion.
A. Remove the bottom rack, then unscrew and remove the cap from salt container. (1)
B. Before the first wash, pour one liter of water into the salt container.
C. Put the end of the funnel (supplied) in the hole and add about 1 kg of salt. A small amount of water
may come out of the container; this is quite normal. (2).
D. After filling the container, tighten the cap counterclockwise.
E. The salt indicator usually goes off 2-6 days after filling the container.
F. Immediately after filling the salt container it is necessary to start a wash program (we recommend using
a soak program or a quick program). Otherwise the filtering system, pump or other important
components of the machine can be damaged by the salt water. This type of damage is not covered by
warranty.
Note:
1. The salt container must be refilled only when the indicator on the control panel lights up.
If the salt does not dissolve properly, the salt indicator may remain lit even after filling the container.
If the control panel does not have an indicator light (on some models), it is possible to estimate when
to load salt in the water softener according to the cycles done by the dishwasher.
2. If salt comes out, start a soak program or a quick program to remove the excess salt.

C. Fill the rinse aid dispenser
Rinse aid dispenser
The rinse aid is dispensed during the final rinse to prevent drops of water on the dishes that would leave
stains and streaks. It also improves drying by allowing the water to run off dishes. The dishwasher is
designed for the use of liquid rinse aids. The rinse aid dispenser is on the inside of the door, next to the
detergent dispenser. To fill the dispenser, open the cap and add the rinse aid until the level indicator is
completely black. The rinse aid dispenser has a capacity of about 140 ml.
Rinse aid function
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse to ensure thorough rinsing and drying free of stains
and streaks.
Attention!
Only use rinse aid specific for dishwashers. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with other substances
(e.g. dishwasher detergent, liquid detergent), as this would damage the appliance.
When to refill the rinse aid dispenser
If the control panel does not have a rinse aid indicator, the rinse aid level can be judged by the color of the
optical indicator C next to the cap. When the rinse aid dispenser is full, all the indicator is dark. The dark
spot gets smaller as the rinse aid level decreases. Never allow the rinse aid level to fall below ¼ the
capacity of the dispenser.
As the rinse aid level decreases, the size of the dark spot on the rinse aid level indicator decreases, as
shown below.

Rinse aid dispenser
1. To open the dispenser, turn the cap towards the arrow “open” (left) and
remove it.
2. Add rinse aid in the dispenser, being careful not to overfill.
3. Refit the cap, inserting it aligned with the arrow “open” and turning it
towards the arrow “closed” (right).
The rinse aid is dispensed during the final rinse to prevent drops of water
on the dishes that would leave stains and streaks. It also improves drying by
allowing the water to run off dishes. The dishwasher is designed for the use
of liquid rinse aids. The rinse aid dispenser is on the inside of the door, next
to the detergent dispenser. To fill the dispenser, open the cap and add the
rinse aid until the level indicator is completely black. The rinse aid dispenser
has a capacity of about 140 ml. Be careful not to overfill the dispenser
because it could overflow. Remove any spilled rinse aid with a damp cloth.
Remember to refit the cap before closing the dishwasher door.
Attention!
Remove any rinse aid spilled during filling with an absorbent cloth, to avoid excess foaming during the next
wash.
Rinse aid dispenser adjustment
The rinse aid dispenser has six or four settings. Always start with
the dispenser set to “4”. If the dishes do not dry properly and have
stains, increase rinse aid dispensing amount by removing the cap
and turning the selector to “5”. If the dishes are still not perfectly
dry or have stains, set the selector to the next highest number until
the dishes are completely clean. It is advisable
to set it to “4”. (The factory setting is “4”)
NOTE
Increase the dosage if there are drops of water or lime spots on the
dishes after washing. Reduce it if there are sticky whitish spots on
the dishes or a bluish film on glassware or on knife blades.

D. Detergent function
Detergents with their chemical components are necessary to remove dirt, break it up and take it outside
the dishwasher. Most commercial detergents are suitable for this purpose.
Concentrated detergent
According to their chemical composition, dishwasher detergents can be divided into two basic types:
conventional alkaline detergents with caustic substances
concentrated low alkaline detergents with natural enzymes
The use of “normal” wash programs in conjunction with concentrated detergents reduces pollution and is
ideal for dishes; these wash programs are specially designed for the dirt dissolving properties of the
enzymes in the concentrated detergent. For this reason “normal” wash programs, in which concentrated
detergents are used, can give the same results otherwise obtainable only with “intensive” programs.
Detergent tablets
Detergent tablets by the different brands dissolve at different speeds. For this reason some detergent
tablets are unable to dissolve and develop their full cleaning power during short programs. Therefore, use
long programs when using detergent tablets, to ensure the complete removal of detergent residuals.
Detergent dispenser
The dispenser must be filled before the start of each wash cycle, according to the instructions in the table
of wash cycles. This appliance uses less detergent and rinse aid than conventional washing machines.
Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is sufficient for a normal wash load. If the dishes are very
dirty, a larger amount of detergent will be necessary. Always add the detergent just before starting the
dishwasher, otherwise it could become damp and not dissolve properly.
Amount of detergent to use
Press the catch to open
43
NOTE:
If the lid is closed: press the release button.
The lid opens. Always add the detergent just before the start of each wash cycle.
Only use rinse aid for specific dishwashers.
The dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Keep it out of the reach of children.
Correct use of the detergent
Use only dishwasher detergent. Store the detergent in a cool and dry place. Pour the detergent powder in
the dispenser only when ready to wash dishes.
Filling the detergent
Fill the detergent dispenser. The mark indicates the dosage
levels, as shown on the right:
A. In the main wash cycle compartment, “MIN” means
approx. 20 g of detergent.
B. In the pre-wash cycle compartment, approx. 5 g of
detergent.
Comply with manufacturer’s recommendations for dosage
and storage, as indicated on detergent pack.
Close the lid and press until it locks in place.
If the dishes are very dirty, add more detergent in the
compartment for pre-wash. This detergent develops its
effectiveness during the pre-wash phase.
NOTE:
For information on the amount of detergent to be used for individual programs, see the last page.
Bear in mind that there may be differences depending on how dirty the dishes are and the specific
hardness of the water.
Comply with manufacturer’s recommendations on the detergent package.
Detergents
There are 3 types of detergents
1. With phosphates and with chlorine
2. With phosphates and without chlorine
3. Without phosphates and without chlorine
The new powder detergents are usually phosphate-free. Therefore they do not perform the function of
water softening determined by phosphates. In this case, we recommend filling the salt container even
when the water hardness is only 6 dH. If phosphate-free detergents are used with hard water, white spots
often form on dishes and glasses. In this case, add more detergent for better results. Detergents without
chlorine have only a mild bleaching action. Stubborn and colored stains are not removed completely. In
this case choose a wash program with a higher temperature.
Keep all detergents in a safe place, out of the reach of children. Always add the detergent before starting
the dishwasher.
ATTENTION:

Using the 3 in 1 function
The dishwasher has a 3 in 1 function with which a 3 in 1 tablet, and not salt and rinse aid, must be used.
This dishwasher has a container for 3 in 1 tablets, as an accessory.
NOTE:
The 3 in 1 tablet must only be used with the 3 in 1 function (when selecting the Intensive/Normal/Eco
program ). If the 3 in 1 tablet is used with other programs, the appliance will not provide optimum perfor-
mance.
1. The figure below shows how to hang the 3 in 1 tablet
container in the top rack.
2. Turn the upper spray arm and, if necessary, change the
position of the container to make sure the upper spray
arm is not hindered by the 3 in 1 tablet container. See
figure below.
3. Insert the 3 in 1 tablet in the container and start the 3 in
1 program.
NOTE:
When using 3 in 1 tablet detergents, make sure they are of suitable size for the container, so that they can
be inserted easily and do not break the container.

For best dishwasher performance, comply with the following instructions. The racks and cutlery racks may
be different depending on the model.
Before or after loading the dishwasher
Scrape off the largest food residuals. Soften the residuals of burnt food in pans.
The dishes do not have to be rinsed under running water.
Place items in the dishwasher as follows:
1. Items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans, etc. must be placed upside down.
2. Curved or concave items must be tilted so that the water can run off.
3. All utensils must be firmly in place, so that they cannot tip over.
4. All utensils must be placed so that the spray arms can rotate freely during washing.
Very small items should not be put in the dishwasher, as they could easily fall out of the racks.
Loading the top rack
The top rack is designed for more delicate and
lighter items, such as glasses, tea and coffee cups
and saucers, plates, small bowls and shallow pans
(if not too dirty). Position the dishes and pots so
that they cannot be moved by the spray of water.
Top rack adjustment
The height of the top rack can be adjusted to
create more space in the top/lower rack for large
utensils. The height of the top rack can be
adjusted by placing the wheels on the runners of
different heights. Long items, serving cutlery, salad
cutlery and knives should be placed on the
supports so as not to hinder the rotation of the spray arms.
The support can be folded back or removed when not needed.

Switching the appliance on
Starting a wash cycle
1. Pull out the top and bottom racks, load the dishes and reinsert the racks.
It is advisable to load the bottom rack first, then the top one (see the section “Loading the dishwa-
sher”).
2. Add the detergent (see the section “Salt, detergent and rinse aid”).
3. Insert the plug in the power socket. The power supply is 220-240 VAC /50 HZ, the socket is 10A 250
VAC. Make sure the water supply is at full pressure.
4. Close the door, press the ON/OFF button, the ON/OFF indicator lights up. Press the program button
to select the desired wash cycle. Close the door. After 3 seconds, the machine starts.
Modification of program...
Premise:
1. A current cycle can be modified only if it has been running for just a short time. Otherwise, the deter-
gent may have already been dispensed and the appliance may have already drained the wash water. In
this case, the detergent dispenser must be refilled (see the section “Loading the detergent”).
2. Press the program button for more than 3 seconds to cancel the program and the program can then
be modified, setting the desired one (see the section “Starting a wash cycle...”).
3. Press one of the other program buttons for more than 3 seconds to cancel the current program and
select the program corresponding to the pressed button.
4. Press the display button for more than 3 seconds to modify the time shown.
NOTE: If all the indicators light up, it means that the machine has a fault; switch off the power supply and
turn off the water tap before calling the After-Sales Service.
A dish has not been loaded?
A forgotten dish can be added at any time before the detergent dispenser is opened.
1. Open the door slightly to stop the wash.
2. When the spray arms stop, the door can be opened completely.
3. Load the forgotten dishes.
4. Close the door and the dishwasher resumes operation after 10 seconds.
It is dangerous to open the door during washing: risk of scalding by boiling water.
At the end of the wash cycle
When the wash cycle has finished, the dishwasher buzzer sounds for 8 seconds and then goes off. Switch
the appliance off by pressing the ON/OFF button, turn off the water supply and open the dishwasher
door. Wait a few minutes before unloading the dishwasher, to avoid touching the dishes and utensils when
they are still hot and more susceptible to breakage. They will dry even better.
Switching off the dishwasher
The program ends only when the dishwasher buzzer has sounded for 8 seconds.
1. Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the ON/OFF button.
2. Turn off the water tap!
Open the door carefully.
The hot dishes are sensitive to impact. The dishes must be left to cool for about 15 minutes before remo-
ving them.
Open the dishwasher door, leave it ajar and wait a few minutes before removing the dishes. In this way,
they cool and drying is better.
Unloading the dishwasher
It is normal for the dishwasher to be wet inside.
Empty the bottom rack first and then the top one. In this way water will not drip from the top rack onto
the dishes in the bottom rack.
ATTENTION:
51
Filtering system
The filter prevents the entry of food residuals or other objects. The residuals can block the filter, in which
case they must be removed.
The filtering system is consists of a coarse filter, a flat filter (main filter) and a microfilter (fine filter).
1. Main filter
Food residuals and dirt retained by this filter are pulveri-
zed by a special jet of the lower spray arm and then run
to the drain channel.
2. Coarse filter
The largest residuals, such as pieces of bone or glass,
that could clog the drain are caught in the coarse filter.
To remove the residuals retained in this filter, gently
press the lid on the top of the filter and remove it.
3. Fine filter
This filter retains the dirt and food residuals in the tray
and prevents them from being deposited on the dishes
during a cycle.
- After every wash, inspect the filters to make sure they are not clogged.
- The filtering system can be removed by unscrewing the coarse filter. Remove the food residuals and
clean the filters under running water
Step 1: turn the filter counterclockwise and pull it out.
Step 2: lift the main filter
Step 3: lift the fine filter
NOTE
To remove the filter, carry out steps 1 to 3; carry out the steps in reverse order, from 3 to 1, to install it.

Filter assembly
To obtain the best performance and results, the filter assembly must be cleaned.
The filter effectively removes food residuals from the washing water, allowing its recycling during the
cycle. To obtain best performance and results, the filter must be cleaned. Therefore, it is advisable to
remove the largest food residuals caught in the filter after every wash cycle, rinsing the semicircular filter
and cup under running water.
To remove the filter assembly, pull the cup grip upward. The entire filter assembly should be cleaned once
a week.
Use a brush to clean the coarse filter. Then reassemble the filter parts as shown in the figures and refit the
entire assembly in the dishwasher, positioning it in its place and pressing it down.
The dishwasher must never be used without the filters. Incorrect reassembly of the filter can reduce
appliance performance and damage dishes and utensils.

Cleaning the spray arms
The spray arms must be cleaned regularly to
remove scale caused by hard water and to
prevent blocking of the nozzles and the spray arm
supports.
It is advisable to insert a needle in the clogged
nozzles of the spray arms to ensure a good wash.
Dishwasher care
The control panel can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly after cleaning. To clean the exterior,
use a good wax polish.
Never use sharp objects, scouring pads or harsh detergents on any component of the dishwasher.
Frost protection
In winter take precautions to protect the dishwasher against frost. After every wash cycle, proceed as
follows:
1. Cut the dishwasher power cable.
2. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet pipe from the water valve.
3. Drain the water from the supply hose and the water valve. (Use a basin to collect the water)
4. Reconnect the water supply hose to the water valve.
5. Remove the filter on the bottom of the tub and use a sponge to absorb the water in the tray.
Cleaning the door
To clean the edge around the door, only use a warm and damp soft
cloth. To prevent the ingress of water in the door closure and in the
electrical components, do not use any type of spray detergent.

Never use spray detergents to clean the door panel, because they could damage the door closing
device and the electrical components.
Do not use abrasive substances or paper towels, as they can scratch the stainless steel surface or leave
marks.
Keeping the dishwasher in good condition
After every wash
After every wash, turn off the water supply and leave the door slightly ajar so that moisture and odors
do not remain inside the dishwasher.
Remove the plug
Always remove the power plug from the socket before cleaning the appliance or servicing. Do not run
risks.
Do not use solvents or abrasive detergents
Do not use solvents or abrasive detergents to clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher.
Only use a cloth with lukewarm soapy water. To remove stains from the internal surface, use a cloth
moistened with water and a little vinegar, or a cleaning product specific for dishwashers.
When the appliance is not used for a long time
It is advisable to run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty, then remove the plug from the socket,
turn off the water supply and leave the door slightly ajar.
In this way the door seals last longer and odors will not be created inside the appliance.
Moving the appliance
If the appliance has to be moved, try and keep it upright. If absolutely necessary, it can be placed on
the back.
Seals
One of the factors causing odors in the dishwasher is food residuals trapped in the seals. To avoid this,
clean periodically with a damp sponge.
