Salt
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 equipped with a system to adjust the level of
salt consumption in function of the hardness of the water being
used in order to optimize and customize the level of salt con-
sumption while keeping it to a minimum.
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
To adjust the salt consumption level, follow these instructions:
Always use salt intended for use with dishwashers.
The salt container is located beneath the lower rack and should
be filled as follows:
- 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 intro-
duce 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 back on.
- Unscrew the cap on the salt container;
- On the neck of the container there is an arrow (see figure to the
side).
- If necessary, turn the arrow in the anti-clockwise direc-
tion from the "-" setting to the "+" setting based on the hard-
ness of the water being used.
It is highly recommended that the table be consulted when
making adjustments .

Detergent and Rinse Aidꢀꢀ
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 sparkle and helps them to dry with-
out spotting. The dispenser is located on the inside panel of the
door and should be filled after every 80 wash cycles.
Loading the Rinse Aid
Loading the detergent
Regardless of the type detergent dispenser installed on your
appliance, you must processed as indicated below when load-
ing the rinse aid.
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.
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 3.
After the detergent has been placed in the dispenser, close the
cover and press down until it clicks in place.

Important:
A
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 the large food
particle to prevent the filter from becoming clogged, which results
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 be allowed to soak before they
are washed. This will eliminate the need for extra wash cycle.
Pull out the rack to facilitate loading the dishwasher.
How to Use the Lower Rack
We recommend that you place the items which are the most diffi-
cult to clean items on the lower rack: pots, lids, serving dishes and
bowls, as shown in the figure to 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 silverware basket can be doubled (see fig.A) so that only
one section may be used when the silverware load is light. This
also makes space for additional pots and pans on the lower
rack.

2
- 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. Espe-
cially long utensils should be placed in the horizontal 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.
The upper rack can be adjusted for height. (See fig.B)

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 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 odours
from forming and food from caking onto the dishes, you can run
the soak 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
After Every Wash
When you go on holiday
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.
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 pre-
vent odours from forming within the appliance.
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
One of the factors that cause odours to form in the dishwasher is
food that remains trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning with a
damp sponge will prevent this from occuring.
To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use a
cloth dampened with water and a little white vinegar, or a clean-
ing product made specifically for dishwashers.

Cleaning and Special Maintenance
Filter Assembly
Cleaning the Spray Arms
For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be
cleaned.
It may happen that food particle become encrusted on the sprayer
arms and block the hole. Check the sprayer arms periodically
and clean them when needed. (see "Close up view [interior]",
letters C-E ).
The filter efficiently removes food particles from the wash water,
allowing it to be recirculated during the cycle. For this reason, it
is a good idea to remove the larger food particles trapped in the
filter after each wash cycle by rinsing the "A" semi-circular filter
and cup 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 "A" semicircular filter and the "B" fine
filter) should be cleaned at least once a month. To clean the filter
and the fine filter, use a cleaning brush. Then, reassemble the
filter parts as shown in the figures below and reinsert the entire
aseembly in the dishwasher, positioning in its seat and pressing
downward.
A
B
Cleaning the Water Inlet Filter
The dishwasher must never be used without the filters. Improper
replacement of the filters may reduce level of the appliance and
damage dishes and utensils.
Periodically clean the water inlet filter located on the outlet of the
water supply tap.
After turning off the wter tap, unscew 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.
Troubleshooting
It may occur that the dishwasher does not function or does not
function properly. Before calling for assistance, Iet us see what
can be done first: have you forgotten to press one of the buttons
or to perfom an essential operation?
The Dishwasher Does Not Start
Have you checked whether:
- the water supply to the house on and has
sufficient pressure;
- the water supply hose is crimped or bent;
- the filter for the water supply hose is clogged.
The Dishwasher Does Not Drain
Have you checked whether:
- the plug is pushed into the socket correctly;
- the power is on in the house;
- the drain hose is crimped or bent.
Lime Deposits or a White Film Form on the Dishes
Have you checked whether:
- the door is closed properly;
- the ON-OFF switch is on "ON";
- the lid to the salt container is closed properly;
- the rinse aid dosage is correct.
- the water supply is turned on.
The Dishwasher Does Not Load Water
Have you checked whether:
If, despite all these checks, the dishwasher still does not function
and/or the problem persists, contact the nearest authorised ser-
vice centre and provide them with the following information:
- the nature of the problem;
- the water is turned on and the hose is
connected properly;
- the water supply to the house on and has
sufficient pressure;
- 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 water supply hose is crimped or bent;
- the filter for the water supply hose is clogged.
The Dishes Are Not Clean
Never call on unauthorised technicians and refuse to allow
parts to be installed that are not original spare parts.
Have you checked whether:
- the water is turned on and the hose is
connected properly;

Installation
Positioning the Appliance
Drain Hose Connection
Positioning 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.
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 speical plastic support that comes with
the appliance (see fig.2). The free end of the hose must be at a
height between 40cm and 100cm and must not be immersed in
water.
Levelling the Appliance
Once the appliance is positioned, adjust the feet (screwing them
in or out) to adjust the dishwasher, making it level. In any case,
the appliance should not be inclined more than 2ꢀ. If the appli-
ance is level, it will help ensure proper performance.
Cold Water Connection
Connect the cold water supply hose to a threaded 3/4(gas)
connector, and making sure that it is fastened tightly in place
(see fig.1/A).
fig.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 the water inlet can get blocked and damage the
appliance.
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.
Electrical Connection
Hot Water Connection
After making sure that the voltage and frdquency values for the
current in the home correspond to those on the rating plate
(located on the staunless steel inner door of the appliance) and
that the electrical system is sizedd 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).
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 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.
If the electrical socket to which the appliance must beconnected
is not appropriate for the plug,replace the plug, rather than using
adpators or the like as they could cause overheating and burns.
