FIRST TIME USE
SALT, RINSE AID AND DETERGENT
ADVICE REGARDING THE FIRST TIME USE
After installation, remove the stoppers from the racks and the reta-
ining elastic elements from the upper rack.
FILLING THE SALT RESERVOIR
The use of salt prevents the formation of LIMESCALE on the dishes and
on the machine’s functional components.
• It is important that the salt reservoir be never empty.
• It is important to set the water hardness.
The salt reservoir is located in the lower part of the dishwasher
(see PRODUCT DESCRIPTION) and should be lled when the SALT
REFILL indicator light in the control panel is lit .
1. Remove the lower rack and unscrew the
reservoir cap (anticlockwise).
2. Only the rst time you do this: ll the salt re-
servoir with water.
3. Position the funnel (see gure) and ll the salt
reservoir right up to its edge (approximately
(1 kg); it is not unusual for a little water to leak
out.
4. Remove the funnel and wipe any salt residue
away from the opening.
Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly, so that no detergent can get
into the container during the wash program (this could damage the
water softener beyond repair).
Whenever you need to add salt, it is mandatory to complete the
procedure before the beginning of the washing cycle.
SETTING THE WATER HARDNESS
To allow the water softener to work in a perfect way, it is essential that
the water hardness setting is based on the actual water hardness in
your house. This information can be obtained from your local water
supplier.
The factory setting is for avarage (3) water hardness.
• Switch on the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.
• Switch o the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.
• Hold down button P for 5 seconds, until you hear a beep.
• Switch on the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.
• The current selection level number and the salt indicator light both
ash.
• Press button P to select the desired hardness level
(see WATER HARDNESS TABLE).
• Switch o the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.
Setting is complete!
As soon as this procedure is complete, run a program without loading.
Only use salt that has been specically designed for dishwashers.
After the salt has been poured into the machine, the SALT REFILL indi-
cator light switches o.
If the salt container is not lled, the water softener and the
heating element may be damaged as a result.
FILLING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER
Rinse aid makes dish DRYING easier. The rinse aid dispenser A should
be lled when the RINSE AID REFILL indicator light in the control
panel is lit.
1. Open the dispenser B by pressing and pulling up the tab on the lid.
2. Pour in the rinse aid (max.110 ml), making sure it does not overow
from the dispenser. If this happens, clean the spill immediately with a
dry cloth.
3. Press the lid down until you hear a click to close it.
NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the appliance tub.
ADJUSTING THE DOSAGE OF RINSE AID
If you are not completely satised with the drying results, you can ad-
just the quantity of rinse aid used.
• Switch the dishwasher on using the ON/OFF button.
• Switch it o using the ON/OFF button.
• Press button P three times - a beep will be heard.
• Switch it on using the ON/OFF button.
• The current selection level number and rinse aid indicator light ash.
• Press button P to select the level of rinse aid quantity to be supplied.
• Switch it o using the ON/OFF button
Setting is complete!
If the rinse aid level is set to ZERO (ECO), no rinse aid will be supplied. The
LOW RINSE AID indicator light will not be lit if you run out of rinse aid.
A maximum of 5 levels can be set according to the dishwasher model. The
factory setting is specic to the model, please follow instruction above
to check this for your machine.
• If you see bluish streaks on the dishes, set a low number (1-2).
• If there are drops of water or limescale marks on the dishes, set
a mid-range number (3-4).
FILLING THE DETERGENT DISPENSER
A
B
To open the detergent dispenser
use the opening device A. Introduce
the detergent into the dry dispenser
B only. Place the amount of
detergent for pre-washing directly
inside the tub.
1. When measuring out the detergent re-
fer to the mentioned earlier information
to add the proper quantity. Inside the
dispenser B there are indications to help
the detergent dosing.
2. Remove detergent residues from the edges of the dispenser and
close the cover until it clicks.
3. Close the lid of the detergent dispenser by pulling it up until the
closing device is secured in place.
The detergent dispenser automatically opens up at the right time
according to the program.
If all-in-one detergents are used, we recommend using the TABLET
button, because it adjusts the program so that the best washing and
drying results are always achieved.

DAILY USE
TIPS
Before loading the baskets, remove all food residues from the crockery
and empty the glasses. You do not need to rinse beforehand under
running water.
Arrange the crockery so that it is held in place rmly and does not tip over;
and arrange the containers with the openings facing
downwards and the concave/convex parts placed obliquely, thus allowing
the water to reach every surface and ow freely.
Warning: lids, handles, trays and frying pans do not prevent the sprayer
arms from rotating. Place any small items in the cutlery
basket. Very soiled dishes and pans should be placed in the lower basket
because in this sector the water sprays are stronger and
allow a higher washing performance.
After loading the appliance, make sure that the sprayer arms can rotate
freely.
HYGIENE
To avoid odour and sediment which can be accumulated in the dishwa-
sher please run a high temperature program at least one a month. Use
a tea spoon of detergent and run it without the loading to clean your
appliance.
UNSUITABLE CROCKERY
• Wooden crockery and cutlery.
• Delicate decorated glasses, artistic handicraft and antique
crockery. Their decorations are not resistant.
• Parts in synthetic material which do not withstand high
temperatures.
• Copper and tin crockery.
• Crockery soiled with ash, wax, lubricating grease or ink.
The colours of glass decorations and aluminium/silver pieces can change
and fade during the washing process. Some types of glass (e.g. crystal
objects) can become opaque after a number of wash cycles too.
DAMAGE TO GLASS AND CROCKERY
• Only use glasses and porcelain guaranteed by the manufacturer as
dishwasher safe.
• Use a delicate detergent suitable for crockery.
• Collect glasses and cutlery from the dishwasher as soon as the wash
cycle is over.
ADVICE AND TIPS
1. CHECK WATER CONNECTION
Check that the dishwasher is connected to the water supply and
that the tap is open.
2. SWITCH ON THE DISHWASHER
Open the door and press the ON/OFF button.
3. LOAD THE RACKS
(see LOADING THE RACKS).
4. FILLING THE DETERGENT DISPENSER
(see PROGRAMS TABLE).
5. CHOOSE THE PROGRAM AND CUSTOMISE THE CYCLE
Select the most appropriate program in accordance with the type
of crockery and its soiling level (see PROGRAMS
DESCRIPTION) by pressing the P button.
Select the desired options (see OPTIONS AND FUNCTIONS).
6. START
Start the wash cycle by closing the door. When the program starts
you hear a beep.
7. END OF WASH CYCLE
The end of the wash cycle is indicated by beeps and by the ash-
ing of the wash cycle number on the display. Open the door and
switch o the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.
Wait for a few minutes before removing the crockery - to avoid
burns.
Unload the racks, beginning with the lower one.
The machine will switch o automatically during certain exten-
ded periods of inactivity, in order to minimise electricity con-
sumption. If the crockery is only lightly soiled or if it has been
rinsed with water before being placed in the dishwasher, reduce
the amount of detergent used
accordingly.
MODIFYING A RUNNING PROGRAM
If a wrong program was selected, it is possible to change it, provided that
it has only just begun: open the door, press and hold the ON/OFF button,
the machine will switch o.
Switch the machine back on using the ON/OFF button and select the new
wash cycle and any desired options; start the cycle by closing the door.
ADDING EXTRA CROCKERY

steam!) and place the crockery inside the dishwasher. Close the door
and the cycle will begin from the point at which it was interrupted.
ACCIDENTAL INTERRUPTIONS
If the door is opened during the wash cycle, or if there is a power cut,
the cycle stops. It starts again from the point at which it was
interrupted once the door has been closed or the electricity supply is
restored.
For more information about the functions, you can request or download
from the WEB a Use & Care Guide by following the instructions on the last
page.

LOADING THE RACKS
FOLDABLE FLAPS WITH ADJUSTABLE POSITION
The side foldable aps can be positioned
at three dierent heights to optimize the
arrangement of crockery inside the rack. Wine
glasses can be placed safely in the foldable
aps by inserting the stem of each glass into
the corresponding slots. For optimum drying
results incline the foldable aps more. To chan-
ge the inclination, pull up the foldable ap,
slide it slightly and position it as you wish.
LOWER RACK
For pots, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery etc. Large plates and lids
should ideally be placed at the sides to avoid interferences with the
spray arm. The lower rack has tip-up supports which can be used in a
vertical position when arranging plates or in a horizontal position (lo-
wer) to load pans and salad bowls easily.
(loading example for the lower rack)
POWER CLEAN®
Power Clean® uses the special water jets in
the rear of cavity to wash more intensively
the high dirty items.
Placing the pots/casseroles faced to the
Power Clean® component please activate
the POWER CLEAN® on the panel.
The lower rack has a Space Zone, a special pull-out support
in the rear of the rack that can be used to support frying pans or baking
pans in upright position, thus taking up less space.
How to use Power Clean®:
1. Adjust the Power Clean® area
G folding down the rear plate
holders to load pots.
2. Load pots and casseroles incli-
ned vertically in Power Clean®
area. Pots have to be inclined
towards the power water jets.
CUTLERY RACK
The third rack was designed to house the cutlery. Arrange the cutlery
as shown in the gure. A separate arrangement of the cutlery makes
collection easier after washing and improves washing and drying
performance.
Knives and other utensils with sharp edges must be positioned
with the blades facing downwards.
The geometry of the rack makes it possible to place such small items
as coee cups in the area in the middle.
UPPER RACK
Load delicate and light dishes:
glasses, cups, saucers, low salad
bowls.
(loading example for the upper rack)
ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE UPPER RACK
The height of the upper rack can be adjusted: high position to place
bulky crockery in the lower basket and low position to make the most
of the tip-up supports by creating more space
upwards and avoid collision with the items
loaded into lower rack. The upper rack is
equipped with a Upper Rack height adjuster
(see gure), without pressing the levers, lift it up
by simply holding the rack sides, as soon as the
rack is stable in its upper position.
To restore to the lower position, press the levers
A at the sides of the rack and move the basket
downwards.
We strongly recommend that you do not
adjust the height of the rack when it is loaded.
NEVER raise or lower the basket on one side only.
GLASS CARE
Dedicated accessory
that allows you to safely
store dierent types of
stem
glasses in the lower rack.
It enables cleaning
& drying results by
allowing an optimised
and stable positioning of
the glasses.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE FILTER ASSEMBLY
Regularly clean the lter assembly so that the lters do not clog and
that the waste water ows away correctly. The lter assembly consists
of three lters which remove food residues from the washing water
and then recirculate the water: to obtain the best washing results, you
need to keep them clean.
The dishwasher must not be used without lters or if the lter is
loose.
After several washes, check the lter assembly and if necessary clean it
thoroughly under running water, using a non-metallic brush and follo-
wing the instructions below:
1. Turn the cylindrical lter A in an anti-clockwise direction and pull it out
(Fig 1).
2. Remove the cup lter B by exerting a slight pressure on the side
aps (Fig 2).
3. Slide out the stainless-steel plate lter C (Fig 3).
4. Inspect the trap and remove any food residues. NEVER REMOVE
the wash-cycle pump protection (black detail) (Fig 4).

After cleaning the lters, re-place the lter assembly and x it in po-
sition correctly; this is essential for maintaining the ecient operation
of the dishwasher.
CLEANING THE SPRAY ARMS
On occasions, food residue may become encrusted onto the spray
arms and block the holes used to spray the water. It is therefore recom-
mended that you check the arms from time to time and clean them
with a small non-metallic brush.
To remove the upper spray arm, turn the plastic locking ring in an an-
ticlockwise direction. The upper spray arm should be replaced so that
the side with the greater number of holes is facing upwards.
The lower spray arm may be removed by pulling it upwards.
CLEANING THE WATER INLET HOSE
If the water hoses are new or have not been used for an extended
period of time, let the water run to make sure it is clear and free of
impurities before performing the necessary connections. If this
precaution is not taken, the water inlet could become blocked and
damage the dishwasher.
