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 average (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 START/Pause 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 HARD-
NESS 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.

5 Very hard 35 - 50 61 - 90
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 START/Pause 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 1 (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 4 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 (2-3).
• If there are drops of water or limescale marks on the dishes, set a
mid-range number (4-5).
FILLING THE DETERGENT DISPENSER
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
refer to the mentioned earlier infor-
mation 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 clo-
se 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.

LOADING THE RACKS
LOWER RACK
For pots, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery
etc... Large plates and lids should ideally
be placed at the sides to avoid interferen-
ces 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 (lower) 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. 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.
Placing the pots/casseroles faced
to the Power Clean® component
please activate the POWER
CLEAN® on the panel.
How to use Power Clean®:
1. Adjust the Power Clean® area G
folding down the rear plate hol-
ders 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.
UPPER RACK
Load delicate and light dishes: glasses,
cups, saucers, low salad bowls.
The upper rack has tip-up supports which
can be used in a vertical position when
arranging tea/ dessert saucers or in a
lower position to load bowls and food
containers.
(loading example for the upper rack)
ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE UPPER RACK
The height of the upper basket can be adjusted:
high position to place bulky crockery in the
lower basket and low position to make the most
of the tip-up compartments by creating more
space upwards.
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 si-
des, as soon as the rack is stable in its upper po-
sition. 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.
FOLDABLE FLAPS WITH ADJUSTABLE POSITION
The side foldable aps can be
positioned at three dierent
heights to optimize the arrange-
ment 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 inc-
line the foldable aps more. To
change the inclination, pull up
the foldable ap, slide it slightly
and position it as you wish.
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.

ADVICE AND TIPS
TIPS
Before loading the baskets, remove all food residues from the crock-
ery 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 down-
wards 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 be-
cause 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 dish-
washer 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 tempera-
tures.
• 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.

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
position 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
anti-clockwise 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 da-
mage the dishwasher.
