Adjusting Salt Consumption
Salt
The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjusting the amount
of salt consumed based on the harness of the water used.

the dishes and utensils.
customize the level of salt con-
sumption so that it remains at
a minimum.
The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses
a salt specifically designed to eliminate lime and minerals
from the water.
Your Local Water Board can
supply the degree of hardness
of the water
in your area.
Loading the Salt into the Softener
Always use salt intended for use with dishwashers.

Detergent and Rinse Aid ....
The rinse aid.
Detergent
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 "T" flashes.
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.
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.
Loading the detergent
To open lid "A", press button "B". The cleaning detergent
should be introduced 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 tablets is now available on the
market, in which case you should place one tablet into
container "D" and replace the lid.
F
C
C
B
D
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.
A
Notice: To facilitate closing the cover, remove any
excess detergent on the edges of the dispenser.
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.

Loading the Dishw asher
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.
Top Rack
Bottom Rack
Pull out the racks to facilitate loading the dishwasher.
How to Use the Low er 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.
- Pots, serving bowls, etc. must always be placed top
down.
- Deep pots should be slanted to allow the water to flow
out.
-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
A
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.
B
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.

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 Dishw asher 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.
Seals
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.
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
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
Cleaning the sprayer arms.
Food residue may become encrusted onto the sprayer arms
and block the holes where water comes out. Check the
sprayer arms regularly and clean them once in a while
(letters F and I “How is it made?”).
1
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.
A
B
2
C
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.
Troubleshooting
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 Dishw asher Does Not Start
Have you checked whether:
- the plug is pushed into the socket correctly;
- the power is on in the house;
- the door is closed properly;
Tap off alarm
If you have forgotten to turn the water tap on, your appliance will
remind you of this with the rapid flashing of the indicator lights 2
and 3 (wash and rinses) . Turn the tap on and your appliance will
start up again after a few minutes. 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; repeat the
programming operations and the selected wash cycle will start up
again.
- the ON-OFF switch is on "ON";
- the water supply is turned on.
Clogged filter alarm
The Dishw asher 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
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
and reposition it in its seat as illustrated on this page. Then turn it
back on. Repeat the programming operations and the wash cycle
will start up again.
Water load solenoid valve malfunction alarm.
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?
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.
The Dishw asher Does Not Drain
Have you checked whether:
- the drain hose is crimped or bent.
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.
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:
- 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.
Error messages.
Your 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.
Never call on unauthorised technicians and refuse to allow
parts to be installed that are not original spare parts.

Installation
Drain Hose Connection
Positioning the Appliance
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..
The part of the pipe marked
with the letter A should be
between 40 and 100 cm above
the ground.(see figure)
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.
A
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°.
The pipe should not be
immersed in water.
Electrical Connection
If the appliance is level, it will help ensure proper perfor-
mance.
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.
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 threaded 3/4 (gas)
connector and making sure that it is fastened tightly in place.
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 the water inlet can get blocked
and damage the appliance.
Should the electricity supply cable be damaged, we
recommend that you only contact authorised Technical Service
Centres for the replacement.
Hot Water Connection
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.
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.
Condensation-proof tape.
On some models, a transparent condensation-proof
adhesive tape has been provided.
It should be stuck onto the lower side of your wooden
worktop to protect it from the formation of condensation.
When not provided, this tape can be requested as a spare
part from authorised retailers.
