influenced by the washing conditions such as dishwasher type and
quantity, entry temperature etc. For this reason it is normal to see the
updating during a program (increment and decrease of minutes) specially
in the passage from one phase to the other (for example, from washing to
rinse).
Program progress is indicated by the program phases that show the status
of the current cycle.
The current phase flashes, while the next washing phases lights stay on.
At the end of each phase, the signal will turn off.
N.B.: when a program which does not need the prewash phase is
selected, the prewash signal stays off.

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.
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.
ENERGY MANAGEMENT
At the end of the program, afterwards 5 minutes, the washing machine
switches off automatically in order to reduce standby power consumption.
In order to switch it on again, it is necessary to press the ON/OFF button.
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 (on some models only);
Add the regenerating salt (on some models only);
Add the rinse aid and detergent.
2.1 Using the water softening system
(on some models only)
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.
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
14
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.
WATER SOFTENER SETTING
(available in all programs except the soak program)
The setting can be adjusted using the
PROGRAM DELAY BUTTON.
To access the programming environment, the
appliance
must
be turned
on with the door closed. Then proceed as follows:
press the PROGRAM DELAY button until the H symbol appears
on the display, followed by the number currently set (e.g. H3)
press the PROGRAM DELAY button the number of times
needed to select the right setting level for the hardness of the water
(H0, H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H5);
After carrying out the adjustment or displaying the current setting, if you
do not touch the button for a few seconds the dishwasher will
automatically exit from adjustment mode and return to the standard
operating 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
16
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 dispenser by pressing and lifting the tab on the cover.
Fill the dispenser with rinse aid. Top up again when the rinse aid
indicator light turns on.
Close the cover, a click indicates when it is closed.
Use a cloth to remove any spillage of rinse aid which might lead to
the formation of excess foam.

ADDING THE DETERGENT
To open the detergent dispenser cover, lightly press button
P
. Add the
detergent or tablet and close the cover by sliding it until it stops, indicated
by a click.
The dispenser will open automatically during the wash cycle.
Only add the detergent (also in
tablet form) if the dispenser is dry
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. 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 for washing dishes by hand because they may
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.
For the safeguarding of the environment we recommend the use of
phosphate- and chlorine free detergents.
User instructions
19
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
20
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
21
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
22
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
23
CUTLERY BASKET
The basket is suitable for all types of cutlery, except long items that may
interfere with the upper spray arm. The cutlery should be arranged in the
spaces in the upper racks to allow the water to pass effectively between
the items.
Forks and spoons should be positioned with the handle facing
downwards, taking care not to injure yourself with the prongs of the forks.
Knives should be placed in the tray on the upper rack or in the cutlery
drawer, if present (depending on the model), otherwise position them with
the handles facing upwards.
Ladles, wooden spoons and kitchen knives can be placed on the upper
rack, making sure that the blades of the knives do not protrude from
the basket. The upper racks can be opened in order to insert, for example,
small items.
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
24
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).

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 water remains inside the dishwasher, check that:
the drain hose is not kinked;
the drain siphon is not obstructed;
the dishwasher filters are not clogged.
If the dishes are not being cleaned properly, check that:
the correct amount of detergent has been added;
there is regenerating salt inside the special container;
the dishes are being loaded correctly;
the selected program is suitable for the dish types and their degree of
soiling;
all the filters are clean and positioned correctly;
the spray arm nozzles are not obstructed;
there is no object obstructing the rotation of the spray arms.

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.
