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 consumption  
so that it remains at a minimum. Your local Water Board can  
supply the degree of hardness of the water in your area.  
To adjust salt consumption, proceed as follows:  
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  
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 an 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:

Detergent and Rinse Aidꢀ  
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 (or when  
the rinse aid indicator light comes on for those models with this  
feature).  
Loading the detergent  
Loading 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 an 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.  
B
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.

Loading the Dishwasher  
Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove larger food  
particles 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 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 9 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 lower rack features fold down tine rows (see fig.A) so that  
larger or more pots and pans can be loaded.  
- The silverware basket can not be doubled (see 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.  
fig.A  
fig.B  
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.  
The upper rack can be adjusted for height by using the knobs lo-  
cated on the sides of the rack itself (see fig.C).  
fig.C  
fig.D  
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.D).

Turning on the Appliance  
Starting a wash cycle  
Setting the Wash Cycle with a Delayed Start Time  
After having completed all of the installation steps in the preced-  
ing paragraphs, turn on the water all the way and press the ON-  
OFF button (D) located on the control panel. The "A" indicator  
light will come on. At this point, the appliance is on but you must  
wait a few seconds before programming the cycle setting.  
By pressing the "F" button (see close-up view-'Control panel")  
the start of wash cycle can be delayed for between 1 to 12 hours.  
Each time the button is pressed, the display (G) will show the  
number of hours for the delay period. Choose the amount of  
time desired. After selecting the wash cycle, a short acoustic sig-  
nal will sound and after a few seconds, the delay time on the dis-  
play will blink, This indicates that the countdown has begun.  
Setting and Starting a wash Cycle  
Select the desired cycle by pressing the selector button (I). Each  
time the button is pressed, one of the "J" cycle indicator lights will  
come on in succession. Choose the wash cycle you feel is most  
appropriate for the type of dishes that need washing (consult the  
wash cycle table contained in this manual. After a few seconds,  
the wash cycle has begun and can no longer be changed.  
After the time has lapsed, the cycle will start.  
NOTE:  
During the delay period, it is preferable not to change any of the  
settings, If this is necessary, all of the settings must be cancelled  
by pressing the ON/OFF button (D).  
Cancelling or modifying a cycle  
At this point, all of the steps for "setting the wash cycle with a  
Delayed Start Time" and "Setting and Starting a wash cycle" must  
be repeated, following the instructions contained in the correspond-  
ing sections.  
A cycle that is underway can only be modified if it has only been  
running for a short time. Otherwise, the detergent may have al-  
ready 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").  
To modify a cycle that is already underway, press the ON/OFF  
button (D), all of the settings will be cancelled. To set a new  
cycle, follow the instructions contained in the paragraph entitled  
"Setting and starting a wash cycle".  
If the door is opened to the unit during the delay period, the count-  
down will stop. It will begin again when the door is closed.  
All of the wash cycle set to reverse time function, we may in  
focus start circulate time.  
Wash Cycle adjustment Buttons  
Wash Cycle Program Light  
The dishwasher is equipped with a LED indicator light (J) that  
turns on when the appliance is running the wash cycle.  
1/2 load Button  
This button (see "close-up View - Control Panel", letter"E") 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 power. It can be used before setting any of the wash  
cycle, except for the intensive cycle ( if included in the wash cycle  
table). Please keep in mind that the amount of detergent should  
also be cut in half.  
At the end of the wash cycle  
Six beeps will indicate that the wash cycle has finished and the  
cycle indicator light (J) for the cycle will begin to die out. Turn off  
the appliance using the ON-OFF button. Turn off the water sup-  
ply to the appliance and open the door. Wait a few minutes be-  
fore 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.

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. To prevent odors from forming  
and food from caking onto the dishes, you can run the soak cycle.  
- 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 pre-  
vent odors from forming within the appliance.  
To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use a  
cloth damp and a little white vinegar, or a cleaning 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 particles become encrusted on the  
sprayer arms and block the holes (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 the upward direction. The entire filter as-  
sembly (made up of the "A" semicircular filter and the "B" fine  
filter) should be cleaned at; east 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  
assembly in the dishwasher, positioning in its seat and pressing  
downward.

B
fig.1  
Cleaning the Water Inlet Filter  
Periodically clean the water inlet filter (see fig.1/A) 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 the performance level of  
the appliance 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 or does not  
function properly. Before calling for assistance, See what can  
be done first: Have you forgotten to press one of the buttons or  
to perform an essential operation?  
The dishwasher does not drain  
Have you checked whether:  
- the drain hose is crimped or bend.  
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 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 ON-OFF switch is on "ON";  
- the water supply is turned on.  
- the model and the serial number which are indicated on the plate  
located on the side of the inner part of the door.  
Never call on unauthorised technicians and refuse to allow  
parts to be installed that are not original spare parts.  
The dishwasher 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 bend;  
- the filter for the water supply hose is clogged.

Installation  
Positioning the Appliance  
The connection must be made to the hot water line following the  
same procedures as those for the connection to the cold water  
line.  
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  
allow proper installation.  
Anti-Flooding Protection  
The dishwasher is equipped with a system that stops the supply of  
water in the event of a problem with the water supply hose, or  
leaks within the unit, If for any reason the box containing the elec-  
trical components happens to get damaged, remove the plug from  
the socket immediately. In order to guarantee that the anti-flood-  
ing feature operates properly, the "A" box with water supply hose  
must be attached to the water supply tap as shown in Fig.1. No  
other type of connection is acceptable. The water supply hose must  
not, under any circumstances, be cut, as it contains electrical parts  
which are live. If the length of the hose is not adequate to make a  
proper connection, the hose must be replaced with one that is long  
enough. This hose is available upon request from specialised re-  
tailers and service centres.  
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 2=. 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) con-  
nector making sure that it is fastened tightly in place (see Fig.1).  
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.  
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.  
Fig.1  
Attention:  
The appliance is to be connected to the water mains using new  
hose-sets and old hose-sets should not be reused!  
Installation  
Attention:  
Drain Hose Connection  
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.  
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.  
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 prop-  
erly (the earthing of the appliance is a safety requirement man-  
dated 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  
adapters or the like as they could cause overheating and burns.
