Salt …
Salt
Water hardness varies according to where you live. If hard
water were to enter your dishwasher, scaly incrustations
would form on your dishes.
Thanks to a water softener which uses special dishwasher
salt, the limescale in the water is eliminated.
Loading salt into the water softener
Always use salt which is intended for dishwasher use.
The salt container is
situated underneath the
lower rack and should be
filled up as follows:
1.Pull out the lower rack
completely, unscrew and
remove the container cap.
2.If it is the first time you
load the salt container, fill
it up with water.
3.Put the funnel provided
on the hole and pour in
approximately two kilos of
salt. It is normal if some water comes out of the container.
4. Screw the cap back in place carefully.
The salt container should be filled up when the low
salt indicator light “E” flashes.
Once you have loaded the salt for the first time, it is normal
that the low salt indicator light stays on or flashes for about
5 consecutive cycles.
Warning:To prevent rust from forming, load the salt just
before beginning a wash cycle.
Adjusting the salt consumption
Your dishwasher can adjust its
salt consumption according to
the hardness of the water used
in order to optimise and
customise the dishwasher’s salt
consumption to the minimum
level necessary.
You can find out what the level
of water hardness in your area
is from the company that
supplies the water there.
To make the adjustment, follow
the instructions below:
1. unscrew the salt container cap
2. there is an arrow on the neck of the container (see figure
on the right); if necessary, turn the arrow anti-clockwise from
the “-” setting to the “+” setting according to the hardness
of the water supplied.
We recommend you make the adjustment according to the
following table:

Detergent and rinse aid ….
The detergent
Only use specific dishwasher detergents. The detergent
dispenser must be filled before each wash cycle begins
according to the instructions given in the “Wash cycle table”.
The detergent dispenser is situated on the inside of the
appliance door.
Loading the detergent
To open lid “A”, press button “B”. The detergent should be
poured into the two containers “C” and “D” up to the rim.
After pouring in the detergent, replace the lid, pressing down
until it clicks.
Dishwasher detergent in tabs is now available on the market,
in which case you should place one tab into container “D”
and replace the lid.
To make sure the lid shuts properly, remove any
detergent residue from the edges of the container
before closing it.
Rinse Aid
This product makes dishes sparkle more as it improves their
drying. The rinse aid container is situated on the inside of
the door: It should be filled up when the low rinse aid
indicator light "F" flashes.
Loading the rinse aid
To open the dispenser, turn cap “C” anticlockwise and take
care when you pour in the rinse aid to avoid it overflowing.
You can adjust the amount of rinse aid used by the dishwasher,
by using a screwdriver to regulate the dosage adjuster “F”
you will find under lid “C”. There are 6 possible settings; it is
normally set to 4.
Important:
Adjusting the rinse aid supply improves drying.
If drops of water remain on the dishes or spotting occurs,
turn the dosage adjuster to a higher setting. If, on the other
hand, the dishes have white streaks, then turn the dosage
adjuster down to a lower setting.

Warning
Three-in-one dishwasher tablets are now available on the market, and combine detergent, salt and rinse aid all in one.
If the water in your area is hard or very hard, we still recommend you pour extra salt into the relevant dispenser to prevent the
formation of white streaks on your dishes or on the interior of the appliance.
Using a three-in-one product means it is no longer necessary to put rinse aid into the relevant container.
If you want to achieve perfectly dry dishes, you may add rinse aid as long as the dosage adjuster is set to no.2.
In any case, please read the manufacturer's instructions on the packet.
If you use only these products, it is normal for the salt and rinse aid indicator lights to flash permanently after a certain number
of cycles.

Before placing the dishes in the racks, remove the largest
scraps of food left over on your plates, you will thus avoid
blocking the filter, which would reduce the efficacy of the
wash.
If the saucepans and frying pans are very dirty, allow them
to soak before being washed.
You will thus avoid having to wash them again.
To make it easier to load your dishes, pull the racks out
fully.
How to use the lower rack
We recommend you place the most difficult dishes to wash
into the lower rack:
pans, lids, dinner plates and soup plates as illustrated in
the figure to the left.
Serving dishes and large lids should preferably be placed
on the sides of the rack, without for that matter obstructing
the rotation of the top sprayer arm.
- pans, salad bowls etc. must always be placed upside down
- very deep dishes should be placed obliquely, thus allowing
water to run down them freely.
-This basket is equipped with two removable grids: insert
the cutlery one by one into the slots; knives and utensils
with sharp blades or tips should be positioned with the sharp
parts at the bottom. Position all cutlery items so that they
don't touch.
If the rack has side baskets, the spoons should be loaded
individually into the appropriate slots (see fig. A-B).
- Especially long utensils should be placed in the horizon-
tal position at the front of the upper rack.
How to use the upper rack
Place delicate and lightweight dishes in the upper rack:
glasses, tea cups and coffee cups, saucers - but plates too
- shallow salad bowls, slightly dirty frying pans and shallow
pans (the photo illustrates a few examples).
Position lightweight dishes in such as way as to avoid their
being moved by the spray of water.
The upper rack can be equipped with one or two special
tip-up compartments for mugs and cups, as well as spoons,
knives and forks, which should be fitted in the slots
provided. Stemmed glasses can be hooked onto these
compartments by threading the stems into the slots
provided (see fig. D).
After loading the dishes, remember to check that the blades
on the sprayer arms can turn freely without knocking
against any dishes.
How to adjust the upper rack ….
The upper rack can be set in a high or low position. To do
so, open the rail stop flaps and pull the rack out completely;
now place it with the back wheels in high or low position,
then slide it along the guide rails until the front wheels
also go in; now close the rail stop flaps (see fig. F).

How to start the dishwasher
How to start a wash cycle…
After performing all the operations described in the previous
chapters, turn the water tap on completely, press ON-OFF button
A” situated on the control panel and indicator light “B” comes
on.
At this point, the dishwasher is on and ready to be programmed.
Starting and selecting the cycle.
Turn the cycle selector knob “D” clockwise until the reference notch
on the knob corresponds with the number or symbol for the cycle
you wish to set (consult the wash cycle table on page 17, especially
when first using the appliance).
If the appliance door is shut, press the Start button “R” and you will
hear a beep; the cycle will start up within a few seconds.
Cycle phase indicator lights
The dishwasher is provided with 4 indicator lights “G” which come
on in sequence as the appliance is performing that specific phase of
the wash cycle.
These phases are:
pre-wash, wash, rinses, drying
Cancelling or modifying a wash cycle in progress…..
Premise: You can cancel the wash cycle in progress, if it has only just
started.
To modify a wash cycle, keep the RESET button “R” pressed for
about 5 seconds: a prolonged beep will sound, followed by three
short beeps. Indicator light “G” will turn off and at this point, all
the settings will have been cancelled.
To select a new wash cycle, repeat the operations illustrated in the
paragraph entitled “starting and selecting the cycle”.
Warning: the knob must be turned clockwise from wash cycle 1 to
7, an anti-clockwise from wash cycle 7 to 1.
If you have left out a dish…
You can interrupt a wash cycle by pressing the ON- OFF button,
then place the dishes you had left out into the appliance, which will
start up from where it was interrupted when you turn it back on.
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 the door is shut.
At the end of the wash cycle….
The end of the wash cycle is indicated by two short beeps and the
flashing of the drying phase indicator light.
Warning:when you open the dishwasher door after the wash cycle
has just ended or is under way, take care not to scald yourself with
the hot steam.
How to set the delayed start
When you have loaded the dishes, you can choose when to start
your dishwasher before setting the wash cycle desired. Press button
H” to delay the start of the wash cycle by 12, 9, 6 or 3 hours. Each
time you press it, you will hear a short beep and the indicator light
G” corresponding to the selected delay will light up.
Now you can select the desired wash cycle. Press the start button
“R” and after you hear the beep, the countdown to the delayed
start will begin.
Once this time is up, the indicator light will stop flashing and the
wash cycle will begin.
If you have set a 12 hour delay, for example, once you have selected
the wash cycle, the 12 hour indicator light will flash, followed by
the others in sequence until the set time delay is up. A quick look at
the indicator lights will keep you informed of the countdown progress
at all times.
Have you changed your mind?
If you change your mind, you can set a shorter time delay: press
button “H” to select it. You need not reset the wash cycle.
If on the other hand you want to cancel the delay set and you want
the cycle to start immediately, press button “H” repeatedly until the
cycle starts and indicator light “G” corresponding to the cycle start
phase comes on.
Dual function of indicator lights “G”
1) flashing to indicate a delayed start:to remind you that you
have set a delayed start;
2) on and not flashing beneath the cycle phase symbol:
meaning the cycle has started and is in the phase indicated by the
symbol.
You want to wash on one rack only?
Remember to use half the amount of detergent.
When you only have little cutlery to wash, you can run just half a
load on the upper rack, saving on water, detergent and electricity.
• When you press the “I” button, you will hear a blip and the “L
indicator light will light up.
Once you have made your selection, start the wash cycle by pressing
Start and it will wash the top rack only.
- This option is available with all wash cycles.
- The Just You wash cycle is programmed to wash on the
upper rack only.
• Turn off the water tap.
• Wait a few minutes before unloading the dishes: if you wait a little
while they dry better thanks to the steam.
• Empty the lower rack first.
Warning:
Press button “A” to turn the appliance off, unplug the appliance
from the electricity socket to cut off the power supply; the power
supply cable should consequently be easily accessible.

GB
Tips to help you save
- It is important that you try to use the dishwasher with a full
load only in order to optimise consumption levels; in the
meantime use the soak cycle to avoid the formation of bad
odours and caked-on food.
- Select the most suitable wash cycle: the choice of wash
cycle depends on the type of dishes to wash and on how
dirty they are.
- Use the right amount of detergent: if you use too much,
you will not get cleaner dishes, but just more environmental
pollution.
- There is no need to rinse the dishes before placing them
inside the dishwasher.
How to keep your dishwasher in shape
After every wash
After every wash, turn off the water tap and leave the
dishwasher door ajar, so that moisture and bad odours are
not trapped inside.
Unplug the appliance
Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance on the
dishwasher, always remove the plug from the electricity
socket: this way you will avoid the risk of any danger.
No solvent or abrasive cleaning products
Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products to clean
the exterior and rubber parts of your appliance. Use a cloth
dampened with lukewarm soapy water only.
To remove any stains from the surface of the appliance
interior, use a cloth dampened with water and a little white
vinegar or a cleaning product specifically made for
dishwashers.
If you are off on holiday
When you go on holiday, we recommend you run a cycle
with the dishwasher empty, then unplug it, turn off the water
inlet tap and leave the dishwasher door ajar: this will help
the seals last longer and prevent unpleasant odours from
forming inside the appliance.
If you are moving home
Should the appliance have to be moved, try to keep it in a
vertical position.; if absolutely necessary, it can be positioned
on its back.
The seals.
One of the factors that cause unpleasant odours to form
inside the dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the
seals. Periodic cleaning using a damp sponge will prevent
this from occurring.

Cleaning and special maintenance
Cleaning the sprayer arms
Food residue may become encrusted onto the sprayer arms
and block the holes where water comes out; check them on
a regular basis and clean them (see the Close-up View (inside)
letters F-I).
Is there a problem?
Your dishwasher may not work or not function properly.
Before calling for assistance, let’s have a look at what can be
done: you may have forgotten to press a button or for some
reason or another you haven’t carried out a procedure
necessary for the appliance to operate correctly.
The dishwasher won’t start
Have you checked:
whether the tap has been turned on and is well connected
to the hose or whether there is no water throughout your
home or whether the pressure of the water supply is
sufficient, whether the hose is bent or the filter on the water
supply hose is blocked, whether the door is open?
The dishes are not clean
Have you checked:
whether the right amount of detergent is in the dispenser,
the wash cycle selected is suitable for the dishes loaded, or
whether the filter and the microfilter are clean and whether
the sprayer arms can turn freely?
The dishwasher won’t drain
Have you checked:
Is the drain hose bent?
Limescale deposits or a white film form on the dishes.
Have you checked:
whether the lid on the salt container is closed properly or
whether the amount of rinse aid has been adjusted correctly?
Error messages.
The dishwasher is equipped with a safety system which is able to
detect any operating anomalies. These anomalies are reported by
one or two wash cycle indicator lights “G” flashing rapidly. Take a
note of which lights are flashing, turn the appliance off and call for
technical assistance.
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 indicator lights 2
and 3 (wash and rinses) 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, re-select a wash
cycle as indicated in the “Selecting the wash cycle” paragraph and
the appliance will start up again.
Clogged filter alarm
If the appliance is blocked and indicator lights 1 (pre-wash) and 3
(rinses) flash rapidly , this means the filter is clogged by large particles
of food residue. Turn the appliance off, clean the filter thoroughly,
reposition it in its seat and then turn the appliance on again. The
selected wash cycle will start up again.
Water load solenoid valve malfunction alarm.
If indicator light 2 (wash) flashes rapidly, TURN the dishwasher OFF
AND BACK ON AGAIN after one minute. If the alarm persists, first
turn off the water tap to avoid any flooding and then cut off the
electricity supply and call for technical assistance.
If any other indicator lights apart from the above-mentioned ones
flash rapidly, turn the appliance off and call for technical assistance.
If, despite all these checks, your dishwasher still won’t
work and the trouble you are having persists, call your
nearest authorised service centre, mentioning the
following information:
- the type of malfunction
- the model type no. (Mod. ....) and the serial number (S/N….)
indicated on the rating plate located on the inner door, to one side.
Never call upon the services of unauthorised
technicians and always refuse spare parts that are
not originals.

The filter assembly
If you want consistent good results from your dishwasher,
you need to clean the filter assembly.
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” and the semi-circular
filter A after each wash; pull the cup handle upwards to
remove them. Just rinse them under running water.
The entire filter assembly should be cleaned thoroughly once
a month: cup C + semi-circular filter A + cylindrical filter B.
Rotate filter “B” anticlockwise to remove it.
For cleaning, use a non metallic brush.
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.
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.

Installation
Positioning the appliance
Place your dishwasher where you want to install it. The
appliance can even be placed so that its sides or back panel
are side by side with furniture or up against the wall. The
dishwasher is provided with water supply and drain hoses,
which can be directed towards the left or right to facilitate
appropriate installation.
Levelling
Once the appliance is positioned, adjust the feet by screwing
them in or out depending on how high you want it and level
it so that it is horizontal; however it must not be tilted by
more than 2° under any circumstances.
If the appliance is level, this will help ensure its correct
operation.
This dishwasher model can be built under a single worktop
(please read the relevant instruction sheet).
Cold water connection.
This electric household appliance should be connected to
the water mains using the cold water supply hose provided
with the appliance only. Do not use a different hose. In the
event of replacements, use original spare parts only.
Connect the cold water supply hose to a 3/4 gas threaded
connection, taking care to screw it tightly onto the tap.
If the water hoses are new or have been out of use for an
extended period of time, let the water run to make sure it is
clear and free of impurities before making the connection.
If this precaution is not taken, the water inlet could get
blocked, causing damage to your dishwasher.
Hot water connection
Your dishwasher can be supplied with hot water from the
mains supply (if you have a central heating system with
radiators) at a temperature of no more than 60°C.
In this case, the wash cycle time will be about 15 minutes
shorter and the wash will be slightly less effective.
The connection must be made to the hot water supply
following the same procedures as those indicated for the
cold water connection.
Anti-flooding protection
Your dishwasher is provided with a special system which
blocks the water supply in the event of leaks inside the
appliance. It is further equipped with a water inlet hose that
can withstand extremely high pressures and that turns red
in the event of breakage. Safety in the event of flooding is
ensured by the second clear hose that contains the former.
It is vital that you check it on a regular basis: if you see it has
turned red, then you know you have to replace it as soon as
possible. Call for an authorised technical engineer to come
and replace it.
Drain hose connection
Fit the drain pipe into a drain line with a minimum diameter
of 4 cm or place it over the
sink. Avoid restricting or
bending it. Use the special
plastic elbow provided (see fi-
gure) to position it in the best
possible way. The part of the
pipe marked with the letter A
should be between 40 and
100 cm above the ground.
The pipe should not be
immersed in water.
Warning: the special plastic elbow should be fastened firmly
onto the wall to prevent the drain hose from moving and
allowing water to spill outside the drain.
Electrical connection
Plug the appliance into a socket provided with an efficient
earth connection (the system’s earthing is a guarantee of
safety provided for by law), after having checked that the
mains voltage and frequency values correspond to those
stated on the rating plate located on the stainless steel inner
door of the appliance and that the electrical system to which
the dishwasher is connected is sized for the maximum current
indicated on said rating plate. If the power socket to which
the appliance is connected is not compatible with the plug,
replace it with a suitable plug rather than using adapters or
multiple plugs as these could cause overheating or burns.
Caution: the dishwasher plug must be accessible so that
maintenance can be done safely.
If the electricity supply wire is damaged, we recommend you
contact authorised Technical Assistance service centres
exclusively for a replacement.
