dishwasher consumes less water and energy than if they were
washed by hand.
Always use the dishwasher with a full load.
Load the dishwasher as indicated in the instructions manual. If the
dishwasher is loaded incorrectly, it may lead to poor results as well
as waste water, energy and detergent.
Do not wash dishes under running water before placing them in the
dishwasher. It would just waste water and energy.
Use the washing program that is most appropriate for each type of
load.
If available, connect the dishwasher to a hot water supply up to
60°C.If the manufacturer's instructions and recommendations are
followed, washing the same number of similarly soiled dishes in a
dishwasher consumes less water and energy than if they were
washed by hand.

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 detergent directly onto the dishes.
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.
ENERGY MANAGEMENT
After 5 minutes of waiting (washing cycle completed, stopped or set but
not started) the dishwasher switches off.
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.

4.2 Adding the salt
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 kg of salt in grains. Some models are
equipped with an optical no-salt indicator. In these models, the cap of the
salt container contains a green float which descends as the salt
concentration in the water drops. When the green float can no longer be
seen through the transparent cap, the container must be topped up with
regenerating salt. The container is situated at the bottom of the
dishwasher.
The salt prevents the formation of scale
deposits.
Remove the lower basket.
Unscrew the cap of the salt container by
turning it anticlockwise.
When using the dishwasher for the first time, fill the container with a
litre of water.
Pour salt (approx. 1 kg) into the container using the funnel provided
with the dishwasher.
When finished, remove any salt residues before screwing the cap
back on.

In order for the water softening system to give fault-free service, the appliance
performs a regeneration cycle of the system at regular intervals.
The regeneration process consists of several stages. It starts at the end of the last
rinse cycle, after the amount of water indicated in the mains water hardness setting
has been reached during the wash cycle, and finishes at the beginning of the
following wash cycle.
The regeneration process increases the cycle time and consumption of water and
electricity.
Below is an overview of consumption of regeneration the softening system using the

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 this case warranty cover will be
forfeited.
Only use regeneration salt specifically for domestic
dishwashers. Do not use table salt, since it contains insoluble
substances that could damage the water softener system.
After having added salt, run a wash cycle to remove any excess salt.
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.

4.3 Adding the rinse aid
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.
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.
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.

4.4 Adding the detergent
Open the detergent dispenser cover by lightly pressing the button P.
Add the detergent or tablet.
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 or tablet if the dispenser is dry.
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.
Istruzioni per l’utente
38
When a program with a hot pre-wash is selected (see program table),
extra detergent must be placed in the cavity.
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.
The introduction of detergent into the rinse aid dispenser, even in
liquid form, will damage the dishwasher.
4.5 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.
Cor
rect loading of the dishes helps ensure optimal washing results.
Istruzioni per l’utente
39
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 of 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 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.

5. Cleaning and maintenance
Before carrying out any work, always unplug the appliance from the
electrical supply or switch off the omnipolar circuit breaker.
5.1 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 gaskets
using a soft cloth and water to remove any deposits.
If the dishwasher is used every day, we recommend cleaning the chamber
and the water circuit monthly using a product that is specific for domestic
dishwashers.
CLEANING THE WATER INTAKE FILTER
The water filter at the inlet to the intake hose should be cleaned
periodically. Close the water supply tap, unscrew the water intake hose
and make sure that the filter at the inlet to the hose is not dirty or clogged
(the filter cannot be removed from the hose). Remove any dirt with a damp
cloth or a non-metallic brush. Screw the hose back on. We recommend
that you inspect and clean it, if necessary, at least once a year.
CLEANING THE SPRAY ARMS
If the dishwasher is used every day, we recommend that you clean it once
a week. 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.
