Adjusting Salt Consumption
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.
The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjusting the amount of
salt consumed based on the hardness of the water used. This is
intended to optimize and customize the level of salt consumption
so that it remains at a minimum. Your local Water Board can
supply the degree of hardness of the water in your area.
To adjust salt consumption, proceed as follows:
The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses a salt
specifically designed to eliminate lime and minerals from the water.
Loading the Salt into the Softener
Always use salt intended for use with dishwashers.
The salt container is located beneath the lower rack and should
be filled as follows:
- When the "low salt indicator " (O) twinkles,you must fill the salt.
- Remove the lower rack and then unscrew and remove the cap
from the salt container;
- If you are filling the container for the first time, fill it with water;
- Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and append
about 2 kg of salt. It is normal for a small amount of water to
come out of the salt container.
- Carefully screw the cap on the back.
- Unscrew the cap from the salt container;
- There is a ring on the container with an arrow on it (see figure),
If necessary, rotate the ring in an anticlockwise direction from
the "-" setting towards the "+" sign, based on the hardness of
the water being used.
It is recommended that adjustments be made in accordance with
the following scheme:

Detergent and Rinse Aid
Detergent
Rinse Aid
Detergent specifically intended for use with dishwashers must
be used. The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each
wash cycle following the instructions provided in the "Wash Cycle
Table." The detergent dispenser is located on the inside panel of
the door.
This product makes dishes froth and helps them to dry without
spotting. The dispenser is located on the inside panel of the
door and should be filled after "low rinse aid indicator " (N)
blinks..
Loading the Rinse Aid
Loading the detergent
To open the dispenser, turn the "C" cap in an 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 3.
To open the "A" cover on the dispenser, press the "B" button.
The detergent for the wash cycle should be poured into the "C"
compartment.
After the detergent has been placed in the dispenser, close the
cover and press down until it clicks in place.
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.

Loading the Dishwasher
Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove larger food
particles to prevent the filter from becoming clogged, which re-
sults in reduced performance.
Lower Rack
Upper Rack
If the pots and pans have baked-on food that is extremely hard
to remove, we recommend that they are soaked before washed.
This will eliminate the need for extra wash cycles.
Pull out the rack to load the dishwasher.
How to use the lower rack
We recommend that you place the most difficult to clean items
on the lower rack: pots, lids, serving dishes and bowls, as shown
in the figure on the right.
Load for 12 Standard Settings
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.
- Pots, serving bowls, etc. must always be placed face down.
- Deep pots should be slanted to allow the water to flow out.
- The lower rack features fold down tine rows (see fig.A) so that
larger or more pots and pans can be loaded.
- The silverware basket can be doubled (see Fig. B) so that only
one section may be used when the silverware load is light. This
also makes space for additional pots and pans, and it can also
be placed in the upper rack.
fig.B
fig.A
fig.C
fig.E
- Silverware should be placed in the silverware basket with the
handles at the bottom; if the rack has side baskets, the spoons
should be located individually into the appropriate slots.
Especially long utensils should be placed in the horizontal posi-
tion at the front of the upper rack.
How to use the upper rack
fig.D
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.
The upper rack can be adjusted for height by using the knobs lo-
cated on the sides of the rack itself (see Fig.C).
Shelf
Lean tall glasses and those with long stems against the shelf-
not against other items to be washed.
Place glasses, cups and small bowls on the additional cup rack.
The additional cup rack can be swivelled in or out as required
(see fig.D).
Knife rack
The knife rack clips onto the side of the top basket, giving you
the freedom to wash your large sharp knives separately and out
of harm’s way (see fig.E).

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 nega-
tive impact on the enviroment.
- It is important to try and run the dishwasher when it is fully
loaded in order to save on energy. To prevent odours from form-
ing and food from caking onto the dishes, you can run the soak
cycle.
- There is no utility in rinsing dishes, cookware and utensils be-
fore 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
After Every Wash
Moving the Appliance
After every wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance and
leave the door slightly ajar so that moisture and odours are not
trapped inside.
If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in the vertical
position.If absolutely necessary, it can be positioned on its back.
Seals
Remove the Plug
One of the factors that cause odours to form in the dishwasher
is food that remains trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning with
a sponge will prevent this from occuring.
Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the
plug from the socket.
No Solvents or Abrasive Cleaning Products
To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not
use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. Use only a cloth and
warm soapy water.
When You Go on Holiday
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 odours from forming within the appliance.
To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use a
cloth damp and a little white vinegar, or a cleaning product made
specifically for dishwashers.

Cleaning and Special Maintenance
Cleaning the Spray Arms
Filter Assembly
It may happen that food particles become encrusted on the
sprayer arms and block the holes (see "Close up view interior",
letters C-E ). Check the sprayer arms periodically and clean them
when needed.
For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be
cleaned.
The filter efficiently removes food particles from the wash water,
allowing it to be recirculated during the cycle. For this reason, it
is advisable to remove the larger food particles trapped in the
filter after each wash cycle by rinsing the semi-circular filter and
cup (A) under running water. To remove the filter assembly, pull
on the cup handle in the upward direction. The entire filter as-
sembly (made up of the semicircular filter (A) and fine filter (B))
should be cleaned at least once a month. To clean the filter and
fine filter, use a cleaning brush. Then, reassemble the filter parts
as shown in the figures below and refit the entire assembly in
the dishwasher, positioning it in its seat and pressing downward.
The dishwasher must never be used without the filters. Improper
replacement of the filters may reduce the performance of the
appliance and damage dishes and utensils.
Cleaning the Water Inlet Filter
Periodically clean the water inlet filter 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 run-
ning water. Then, return the filter to its place and tighten the
water supply hose back into position.

Troubleshooting
It may occur that the dishwasher does not function or does not
function properly. Before calling for assistance, See what can
be done first: have you forgotten to press one of the buttons or
to perform an essential operation?
The dishwasher does not drain have you checked whether:
- the drain hose is crimped or bend.
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.
The Dishwasher Does Not Start
Have you checked whether:
If, despite all these checks, the dishwasher still does not func-
tion and/or the problem persists, contact the nearest authorised
service centre and provide them with the following information:
- the nature of the problem;
- the plug is pushed into the socket correctly;
- the power is on in the house;
- the door is closed properly;
- 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 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 bend;
- the filter for the water supply hose is clogged.
Never call on unauthorised technicians and refuse to al-
low parts to be installed that are not original spare parts.

Installation
Positioning the Appliance
The connection must be made to the hot water line following the
same procedures as those for the connection to the cold water
line.
Position the appliance in the desired location. The back should
rest against the wall, 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.
Anti-Flooding Protection
The dishwasher is equipped with a system that stops the supply
of water in the event of a problem with the water supply hose, or
leaks within the unit, in order to prevent damage to your home.
If for any reason the box containing the electrical components
happens to get damaged, remove the plug of the appliance from
the socket immediately. In order to guarantee that the anti-flood-
ing feature operates properly, the box "A" with the water supply
hose must be attached to the water supply tap as shown in Fig.
1. No other type of connection is acceptable. The water supply
hose must not, under any circumstances, be cut, as it contains
electrical parts which are live. If the length of the hose is not
adequate to make a proper connection, the hose must be re-
placed with one which is long enough. This hose is available
upon request from specialised retailers and service centres.
Levelling the Appliance
Once the appliance is positioned, adjust the feet (screwing them
in or out) of the dishwasher until it is level. In any case, the
appliance should not be inclined more than 2°. If the appliance
is level, it will help ensure proper performance.
Cold Water Connection
Connect the cold water supply hose to a threaded 3/4 (gas) con-
nector and makeing sure that it is fastened tightly in place (see
Fig.1).
If the water pipes are new or have not been used for an ex-
tended 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 the water inlet can get blocked and damage
the appliance.
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 60ꢀ.
In this case, the wash efficiency slightly reduced.
Fig.1
Installation
Drain Hose Connection
Attention:
Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe with a minimum diameter
of 4cm, or let it run into the sink, making sure to avoid bending
or crimping it. Use the special plastic support that comes with
the appliance (see Fig.2). The free end of the hose must be at
a height between 40 and 100 cm and must not be immersed in
water.
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.
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 re-
quirement 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 us-
ing adapters or the like as they could cause overheating and
burns.
