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 designed to allow for adjusting the amount of  
salt consumed based on the hardness of the water used. This is  
intended to optimise and customise the level of salt consump-  
tion 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.  
To adjust salt consumption, proceed as follows:  
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:  
- 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 from the salt container;  
- There is a ring on the container with an arrow on it (see figure).  
- If necessary, rotate the ring in the 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:  
Water Hardness  
Salt  
To prevent the formation of rust, load the salt just before  
beginning a wash cycle.

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  
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 cycle (or when the  
rinse aid indicator light comes on for models with this feature).  
Loading the Rinse Aid  
Loading the detergent  
To open the dispenser, turn the "C" cap in an anti-clockwise di-  
rection 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" dosage adjuster, 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  
B
Proper dosage of the rinse aid improves drying.  
If drops of water remain on the dishes or spotting occurs, the  
dosage adjuster should be turned to a higher setting.  
If the dishes have white streaks, turn the dosage adjuster 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 bottom rack: pots, pans, 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.  
1
- 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 and it can also  
be placed in the upper rack.

fig.A  
fig.B  
- 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, cups and saucers, 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.  
fig.C  
The upper rack can be adjusted for height by using the knobs  
located on both sides of the rack itself (see fig.B).  
Adjust the upper basket to the higher level and you have more  
space to accommodate those taller pans and trays in the bottom  
basket.  
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.C).

Turning on the Appliance  
Starting a wash cycle  
- Make sure that the plug for the appliance is inserted into the  
wall socket.  
Cancelling or modifying a wash cycle setting  
A cycle that is underway can only be modified if it has been run-  
ning for a short time. Otherwise, the detergent may have already  
been used, and the appliance may have already drained the wash  
water. If this is the case, the detergent dispenser must be refilled  
(see the paragraph entitled, "Loading the Detergent").  
- Make sure that the water supply is turned on to full pressure.  
- Load the dishwasher (see the section entitled, "Loading the  
Dishwasher").  
- Pour in the detergent (see the section entitled, "Salt, Detergent  
and Rinse Aid").  
Press the ON-OFF button, and the ON light will turn off. Rotate  
the knob in clockwise direction to the desired cycle setting (see  
- Turn the knob located on the right of the control panel in  
clockwise direction until the number or symbol for the cycle  
setting is aligned with the reference mark (see the section  
entitled, "Wash Cycle Table").  
the section entitled: Starting a wash cycle  
dishwasher back on using the ON-OFF button.  
. Then, turn the  
- Press the ON-OFF button, and the ON-OFF light will turn on.  
At this point, the wash cycle will begin.  
At the end of the wash cycle  
When the knob stops turning and is aligned with a STOP mark  
(see figure), the cycle has finished. Turn off the appliance using  
the ON-OFF button, turn off the water supply and open the door  
of the dishwasher.  
Wait a few minutes before unloading the dishwasher to avoid  
handling the dishes and utensils while they are still hot and more  
susceptible to breakage. They will also dry better.  
Wash Cycle Adjustment Buttons  
"ECO" Button  
Half load Button  
This button (see "Close-up View - Control Panel", letter "B" ) is  
used for normal dirty dishes, pots and pans. It is a standard daily  
cycle.  
This button (see "Close-up View - Control Panel", letter "C" ) makes  
it possible to wash dishes using only the upper rack if there are  
not enough dishes for a full load. This will allow you to save on  
water and electricity.  
It can be used before setting any of the wash cycles. Please  
keep in mind that the amount of detergent should also be cut in  
half.

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 to save on energy. In order to prevent odors from  
forming and food from caking onto the dishes, you can run the  
soak cycle.  
-There is no advantage 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  
Moving 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.  
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 odors to form in the dishwasher is  
food that remains trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning with a  
sponge will prevent this from occurring.  
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 odors from forming within the appliance.  
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 dishwasher.

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 particles become encrusted on the  
sprayer arms and block the hole (see "Close up view [interior]" ,  
letters C-E ). Check the sprayer arms periodically and clean them  
when needed.  
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 an upward direction. The entire filter  
assembly (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 inset the entire  
assembly in the dishwasher, positioning in its seat and pressing  
downward.  
A
B
Cleaning the Water Inlet Filter  
Periodically clean the water inlet filter located on the outlet of the  
water supply tap.  
The dishwasher must never be used without the filters. Improper  
replacement of the filters may reduce performance of the appli-  
ance and damage dishes and utensils.  
After turning off the water tap, unscrew the end of the water sup-  
ply 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 properly or at  
all. Before calling for assistance, Iet us see what can be done  
first: Have you forgotten to press one of the buttons or to per-  
form an essential operation?  
The Dishwasher 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 Dishwasher Does Not Start  
Have you checked whether:  
- the lid to the salt container is closed properly;  
- the rinse aid dosage is correct.  
- the plug is pushed into the socket correctly;  
- the power is on in the house;  
- the door is closed properly;  
If, despite all these checks, the dishwasher still does not func-  
tion and/or the problem persists, contact the nearest authorised  
service agent and provide them with the following information:  
- the nature of the problem;  
- the ON-OFF switch is on "ON";  
- the water supply is turned on.  
The Dishwasher Does Not Load Water  
Have you checked whether:  
- 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 is turned on and the hose is connected properly;  
- the water supply to the houses 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  
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;  
- 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.

Installation  
Drain Hose Connection  
Positioning the Appliance  
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.  
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  
ensure correct installation.  
Levelling the Appliance  
Once the appliance is positioned, adjust the feet (screwing them  
in or out) to adjust the dishwasher, making it level. The appli-  
ance 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 make 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.  
fig.2  
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  
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).  
fig.1  
If the electrical socket to which the appliance must be connected  
is not appropriate for the plug, replace the plug, rather than us-  
ing adaptors or the like as they could cause overheating and  
burns.  
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 60  
.
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.
