1.2 Washing programs
Before starting a washing program make sure that:
The water supply tap is open.
The correct amount of detergent has been added to the
dispenser.
The baskets have been correctly loaded.
The spray arms are able to rotate freely and without
obstruction.
The dishwasher door is securely closed.
Warning:
during the initial phase of the washing program, the operation of sprayers
is not perceived because they start rotating about 5 minutes after the start.
This is the normal operation of the washing cycle.
QUICK TIME PROGRAMS
Select this option together with any washing program (except the soak program) to
SHORTEN the cycle by from a minimum of 10% to a maximum of 55%, depending
on the cycle selected. To activate this option, press the QUICK TIME button
(light comes on) after selecting the program required. The option is automatically
deactivated at the end of the program.
ENERSAVE
This option further reduces energy consumption by opening the door at
the end of the cycle for more effective drying. At the end of the wash an
automatic device releases the door, which slowly opens by a few
centimetres. This allows optimal drying even with low rinsing
temperatures, for significant energy saving.
The dishwasher remains in an idle state between the rinse stage and the
end of the cycle to allow proper drying (the display shows the time left until
the end of the cycle). Opening the door at this stage causes the cycle to
stop and ends the program.
The program end is signalled by a short beep
and the flashing of the indicator lights for
programs 5 and 6.
Enersave
is activated automatically if the selected program is compatible
with the option. It can be deactivated before the program is started.
User instructions
8
If this function is active, never prevent the door from opening by any
means, clear the space necessary to allow the opening of the door. Do
not force the closure of the door before the end of cycle signal, because
this would damage the mechanism.
SPREAD HALF LOAD
Suitable when there are not many dishes to be washed, it saves energy
and reduces the program duration. Place dishes in both baskets then load
the detergent dispenser than less than the normal amount for a full load.
Flexi Tabs
Specifically for washing with combination detergents in tablets, which also
contain salt and rinse aid (3in1) or other agents such as glass protector,
steel rinse aids, etc. (4in1, 5in1…). When this option is selected, salt and
rinse aid will not be dispensed even if the relative compartments contain
them. If the containers are empty, the lights will remain on.
If the option is not provided, we recommend the use of conventional
products (separate detergent, salt and rinse aid), because with
conventional washing cycles, combined products might create problems
such as a white deposit, poor drying results and residues left on dishes.
For further information, refer to the detergent pack.
IMPORTANT:
when no longer required, the option must be deactivated by pressing the
relative button (the light goes out).
These products
are not suitab
le
for use with
excessively “hard”
water.
If the hardness level set is higher than H3, when the option is activated
the relative light flashes to indicate that the product is being used
incorrectly; the dishwasher will still work, but washing results may be
poor.
DELAYED START
The start of the washing program can be delayed to program the dishwasher
to operate at the preferred time of day (e.g. overnight). Press the
PROGRAM DELAY button to activate the option and display a 1 hour
delay. Keep pressing to select the delay required, which may be up to 9, 12
or 24 hours depending on the model.
When the door is closed, the appliance will prewash the dishes, after
which the "program delay" set will come into effect.

CANCELLING THE CURRENT PROGRAM
To cancel the currently selected program, open the door and hold
down the PROGRAM SELECTION button until the program
indicator light goes out; “P0” appears on the display.
Close the door.
After approximately 1 minute the dishwasher will advance to the end
of cycle; “End” appears on the display.
CHANGING THE PROGRAM
To change the program in progress, simply open the door and select a
new program. When the door is closed the dishwasher will automatically
select the new program.
TO SAVE ON ENERGY! … AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT
Always try to run the dishwasher fully loaded.
Do not wash the dishes in running water.
Use the washing program that is most appropriate for each type of
load.
Do not carry out any preliminary rinsing.
If available, connect the dishwasher to a hot water supply up to 60°C.
Use the ENERSAVE option.
TO CUT DOWN ON DETERGENT CONSUMPTION! … AND PROTECT
THE ENVIRONMENT
The phosphates contained in dishwasher detergents are harmful to the
environment. To avoid using excessive amounts of detergent and to save
on electricity, observe the following:
separate the more delicate items from dishes that are more resistant
to aggressive detergents and high temperatures;
do not pour the detergent directly on the dishes.
User instructions
10
If the door has to be opened while washing is in progress, the program will
be interrupted. The relative light will keep flashing and a beeper will signal
that the cycle has not been completed. You must wait about 1 minute
before closing the door to restart the program. When the door is closed
the program will continue from where it was interrupted. This operation
should only be carried out if strictly necessary, because it might cause
problems in execution of the program.
END OF CYCLE
At the end of the washing cycle the
dishwasher gives a short acustic signal and
the display show “End”, after which the
dishwasher switches off automatically to
reduce sleep mode electricity consumption.
To switch the dishwasher back on, the
ON/OFF
button must be pressed.
ENERGY MANAGEMENT
After 5 minutes of waiting (washing cycle completed, stopped or set but
not started) the dishwasher switches to a standby state to reduce energy
consumption.
In this state, the dishwasher indicator panel (lights or display depending
on model) functions more slowly (switch-on once every 5 seconds).
REMOVING THE DISHES
At the end of the washing program, wait at least 20 minutes before
removing the dishes, to allow them to cool down. To prevent any water
droplets on the upper basket from falling on the dishes in the lower basket,
it is advisable to unload the lower basket first, and then the upper basket.

2. Operating instructions
Once the dishwasher has been correctly installed, prepare for use as
follows:
Adjust the water softening system;
Add the regenerating salt;
Add the rinse aid and detergent.
2.1 Using the water softening system
The amount of scale contained in the water
(water hardness index) can cause whitish
staining on the dry dishes, which tend to
become dull over time. The dishwasher is
equipped with an automatic softening
system which uses a special regenerating
salt to reduce the hardness of the water.
The dishwasher is factory set for water
hardness level 3 (average hardness).
When using water of medium hardness, the regenerating salt container
should be refilled after approximately 20 washing cycles. The salt
container can hold approximately 1.7 Kg of salt in grains. The container is
situated at the bottom of the dishwasher. After removing the lower basket,
unscrew the salt container cap by turning it anticlockwise and pour in the
salt using the funnel supplied with the dishwasher. Before replacing the
cap, remove any salt residues from around the opening.
When using the dishwasher for the first time, in addition to the salt it
is also necessary to add one litre of water to the container.
Each time the salt container is refilled, make sure that the cap is
securely closed. The mixture of water and detergent must never
penetrate the salt container, as this would compromise the operation
of the regeneration system. In the event of this occurring, the warranty
will be invalidated.
Only use regenerating salt specially formulated for domestic
dishwashers. If using salt tablets, do not fill the container
completely.
SALT
User instructions
12
Do not use table salt as it contains insoluble substances which, over
time, may damage the water softening system.
When necessary, refill the regenerating salt container before
starting the washing program. In this way, the excess saline
solution will be immediately removed by the water; the prolonged
presence of salt water inside the tank may lead to corrosion.
Be careful not to confuse the salt and detergent packages; adding
detergent to the salt container will damage the water softening system.
ADJUSTING THE WATER SOFTENING SYSTEM
(available in all programs except the soak program)
The dishwasher is equipped with an electronic device for adjusting the
water softening setting according to the hardness of the water. To adjust
the water softening setting, proceed as follows.
Keep the PROGRAM DELAY button pressed for a few
seconds, until the H.- symbol, followed by the set value, appears on
the 3-FIGURE DISPLAY.
The PROGRAM DELAY button can be pressed again to select
the most suitable hardness value (h.-0, h.-1, h.-2…h.-6). Refer to the
"Water hardness table" to select the value.
To exit the programming mode press one button or do not touch the
keypad for 2 seconds.

After adjustment or display of the current setting, simply do not touch the
button for a few seconds; the dishwasher will automatically return to
standard mode, quitting the adjustment mode.
2.2 Using the rinse aid and detergent dispensers
The detergent and rinse aid
dispensers are situated on the inner
part of the door: the detergent
dispenser is on the left, and the rinse
aid dispenser is on the right.
With the exception of the SOAK program, before every washing cycle it is
necessary to add the required amount of detergent to the detergent
dispenser. The rinse aid, on the other hand, should only be added as
required.
User instructions
14
ADDING THE RINSE AID
The rinse aid helps the dishes dry faster and
prevents the formation of scale deposits and
staining; it is automatically added to the water
during the final rinse cycle, from the container
situated on the inner side of the door.
To add rinse aid:
Open the door.
Rotate the container cap anticlockwise by ¼ of a turn and remove it.
Add the rinse aid until the container is full (approximately 140 cc). The
optical level indicator on the side of the cap should be completely
obscured. Refill the rinse aid when the optical level indicator becomes
clear again, or when the rinse aid warning light illuminates.
Replace the cover and turn it in a clockwise direction.
Use a cloth to remove any spillage of rinse aid which might lead to
the formation of excess foam.
ADJUSTING THE RINSE AID DISP
ENSER SETTING
The dishwasher is factory set for medium water hardness. However it
possible to change the setting by turning the dispenser’s selector to the
desired position: the amount of rinse aid dispensed is proportional to the
selector position.
To adjust the rinse aid setting, rotate the dispenser cap through a
quarter turn in an anticlockwise direction and remove it.
Then use a screwdriver to rotate the rinse aid selector to the desired
position.
Replace the cap, turning it clockwise.
The amount of rinse aid must be increased if the washed dishes
appear dull or feature circular stains.
If, on the other hand, the dishes are sticky or have white streaks, it is
necessary to reduce the rinse aid setting.
User instructions
15
ADDING THE DETERGENT
To open the detergent dispenser cap, lightly press the
button P. Add the detergent and close the cap
carefully.
During the washing cycle, the dispenser will be
opened automatically.
When a program with hot prewash is selected (see program table),
extra detergent must be placed in the cavity G/H (depending on
models).
Use only detergents specially formulated for dishwashers. For optimal
washing results it is important to use a good quality detergent.
The detergent packs must be sealed and stored in a dry place to
prevent the formation of lumps which may negatively affect washing
results. Once opened the detergent packs should not be kept for too
long, otherwise the detergent loses its effectiveness.
Do not use detergents formulated for washing dishes by hand, because
they produce a great deal of foam and may negatively affect the
operation of the dishwasher.
Add the correct amount of detergent. An insufficient amount of
detergent will result in a partial removal of dirt from the dishes, whereas
an excessive amount is wasteful and does not improve the washing
results.
The market offers liquid and powder detergents with differing chemical
compositions, which may contain phosphates, or be phosphate-free
but contain natural enzymes.
- Detergents containing phosphates are more effective against grease
and starch at temperatures above 60°C.
- Enzyme detergents, on the other hand, are also effective at lower
temperatures (from 40 to 55°C) and are more easily biodegradable.
With enzyme detergents it is possible to obtain at low temperatures
comparable results to those which can only be achieved at 65°C
using traditional detergents.
For the safeguarding of the environment we recommend the use of
phosphate- and chlorine free detergents.
User instructions
16
The introduction of detergent into the rinse aid dispenser, even in
liquid form, will damage the dishwasher.
2.3 General warnings and recommendations
Before using the dishwasher for the first time, it is advisable to read the
following recommendations concerning dish types to be washed and their
loading.
There are generally no constraints on the washing of domestic dishes,
but in certain cases it is necessary to take their characteristics into
account.
Before loading the dishes into the baskets it is necessary to:
remove coarse food remains: e.g. bones, fish-bones, etc. which may
clog the filter or damage the wash pump.
soak any pots or pans with burnt-on food remains on the bottom to
facilitate removal, then load them into the LOWER BASKET.
There is no need to pre-wash the dishes under running water before
loading them into the baskets since this only wastes water.
Correct loading of the dishes helps ensure optimal washing results.
User instructions
17
WARNING!
Make sure that the dishes are securely in place so that they cannot
tip over or obstruct the rotation of the spray arms during the washing
cycle.
Do not place very small objects in the baskets as these could fall and
obstruct the spray arms or the wash pump.
Containers such as cups, bowls, glasses and pots should always be
loaded with the opening facing downwards and with any cavities at
an angle, to allow the water to drain out.
Do not stack dishes or place them in such a way that they cover one
other.
Do not place glasses too close together because they may knock
against each other and break, or there might be staining at the point
where they touch.
MAKE SURE that the items being washed are dishwasher-safe.
Items which are not dishwasher-safe:
Wooden dishes, pots or pans: these may be damaged by the high
washing temperatures.
Handcrafted items: these are rarely suitable for washing in a
dishwasher. The relatively high water temperatures and the
detergents used may damage them.
Plastic dishes: heat resistant plastic dishes must be washed in the
upper basket.
Dishes and objects in copper, tin, zinc or brass: these tend to
stain.
Aluminium dishes: items made from anodised aluminium may lose
their colour.
Silverware: silver items may stain.
Glass and crystal: in general, glass and crystal objects can be
washed in the dishwasher. However, certain types of glass and
crystal may become dull and lose their clearness after many
washings. Therefore, for these items we recommend using the least
aggressive program available.
Decorated items: the decorated objects available on the market are
generally able to withstand washing in the dishwasher, although the
colours may fade after a great many washes. If in doubt as to the
fastness of the colours, it is advisable to wash just a few items at a
time for approximately one month.
User instructions
18
2.4 Using the baskets
The dishwasher has a capacity of 13 place-settings, including serving
dishes.
LOWER BASKET
The lower basket receives the full force of the lower spray arm, and should
therefore be used for the “toughest” items with a heavier degree of soiling.
All types and combinations of loads are
permitted, provided that the dishes, pots and
pans are arranged with all the soiled surfaces
exposed to the water jets coming from the
bottom.
With fixed supports
To make the most of the space inside the
basket when loading large items, certain
models are equipped with tip-up supports for
plates in 2 or 4 sections.
With tip-up supports
BOTTOM BASKET INSERTS
Some models are equipped with bottom basket inserts which improve
the drying of dishes. The inserts are supplied in the accessories bag; to
use them, simply fit them into place as shown.
User instructions
19
LOADING THE LOWER BASKET
Carefully load flat plates, soup plates, dessert and serving dishes,
positioning them vertically. Pots, pans and their covers must be loaded
upside down. When loading soup plates and dessert bowls, be sure to
leave a gap between them.
Loading examples:
UPPER BASKET
The upper basket should be loaded with small or medium-sized items
such as glasses, small plates and saucers, tea or coffee cups, shallow
bowls and light objects. If the upper basket is used in the lowermost
position, it can also be loaded with serving dishes, provided they are only
lightly soiled.
LOADING THE UPPER BASKET
Load plates facing forward; cups, bowls etc. must always be facing
downwards. The left side of the basket can be loaded with cups and
glasses on two levels. In the centre section, plates and saucers can be
loaded vertically into the supports provided.
Loading examples:
User instructions
20
CUTLERY BASKET
The basket has removable top grids into which items of cutlery should
be inserted to keep them properly spaced and allow water to pass
between them effectively. The top grids and central lid are in the bag of
accessories. The central lid functions as a lid only.
The top grids can be detached and used separately.
The cutlery should be arranged in an orderly manner inside the basket,
with the handles pointing downwards. Take care during loading to avoid
injury from the knife blades. The basket is suitable for all types of cutlery,
except those long enough to interfere with the upper spray arm. Ladles,
wooden spoons and cooking knives can be placed in the upper basket,
making sure that the knife blades do not protrude from the basket.
The cutlery basket slides across the dishwasher and can be
placed in
any position to allow optimal use of the space in the bottom basket.
User instructions
21
FLEXI DUO TOP RACK (on some models only)
This comprises two independent sliding, pull-out tray racks for easier
loading/unloading of cutlery. Various loading systems and configurations
are possible. For example, tea cups can be loaded with the right-hand
rack set in the low position, while the left-hand rack or both can
be
removed to allow large dishes to be put in the top basket. In order to
position the right hand basket in a low position, the upper basket has to
be adjusted so that it is in the lowest position (see “adjusting the upper
basket).

3. Cleaning and maintenance
Before carrying out any work, always unplug the appliance from the
electrical supply or switch off the all-pole disconnection device.
3.1 General warnings and recommendations
Avoid the use of acidic or abrasive detergents.
Clean the outer surfaces and door-lining of the dishwasher regularly using
a soft cloth moistened with water or with a normal detergent suitable for
painted surfaces. Clean the door gaskets with a damp sponge.
Periodically (once or twice a year) it is advisable to clean the tank and
gaskets, using a soft cloth and water to remove any deposits.
CLEANING THE WATER INTAKE FILTER
The water intake filter A located at the outlet of the water supply tap needs
to be cleaned periodically.
After having closed the water supply tap, unscrew the end of the water
intake hose, remove the filter A and clean it delicately under running
water. Reassemble filter A in its seat and carefully screw the water intake
hose back into position.
CLEANING THE SPRAY ARMS
The spray arms can be easily removed for periodic cleaning of the
nozzles, to prevent possible clogging. Wash them under running water
and carefully replace them in their seats, checking that their rotary
movement is in no way impeded.
To remove the upper spray arm, unscrew locking ring R.
To remove the lower spray arm, simply lift it up, pulling by the central
part.
To remove the orbital spray arm assembly, take hold of the longer
arm and pull the orbital unit upward. Wash the arms under a jet of
running water and return them carefully to their seat. After
reassembly, check that the spray arms turn freely. Otherwise,
check that they have been installed correctly.

BEFORE STARTING THE DISHWASHER AFTER PROLONGED
DISUSE:
Check that there are no deposits of sludge or rust inside the water
pipe: if there are, allow the water to run from the water supply tap for
a few minutes.
Plug the power cord back into the socket.
Reconnect the water intake hose and open the tap again.
TROUBLESHOOTING MINOR PROBLEMS
In some cases it is possible to remedy minor problems by referring to the
following instructions:
If the program fails to start, check that:
the dishwasher is connected to the electrical power supply;
there is no power failure;
the water tap is open;
the dishwasher door is properly closed.
The door won’t close > The door latch was released > Use greater
strength to close the door.

If the dishes fail to dry or remain dull, check that:
there is rinse aid inside the special container;
the rinse aid dispenser setting is correct;
the detergent used is of good quality and has not lost its effectiveness
(for example, through incorrect storage, with the box left open).
Non-dry synthetic dishes.
Synthetic material has a lower heat storage capacity and is therefore
harder to dry.
If the dishes show signs of streaking, staining, etc., check that:
the rinse aid dispenser setting is not too high.
If there are visible traces of rust inside the tank:
the tank is made of steel, and therefore any rust marks are due to
external elements (fragments of rust from the water pipes, pots,
cutlery, etc.). Special products are commercially available to remove
such marks;
check that the amount of detergent being used is correct. Certain
detergents can be more corrosive than others.
check that the cap of the salt container is securely closed, and that
the water softening setting is correct.
If after following the above troubleshooting instructions the problem
persists, call the nearest After-Sales Centre.
