FILLING THE SALT RESERVOIR
The use of salt prevents the formation of LIMESCALE on
the dishes and on the machine’s functional components.
The salt reservoir is located in the lower part of the dish-
washer (under the lower rack on the left side).
• It is mandatory that the salt reservoir never be empty.
• It is important to set the water hardness.
• Salt must be lled when the SALT REFILL indicator light on the control
panel is lit.
1. Remove the lower rack and unscrew the reservoir cap (anticlockwise).
2. Position the funnel (see gure) and ll the salt reservoir right up to its
edge (approximately 0,5 kg); it is not unusual for alittle water to leak out.
3. Only the rst time you do this: ll the salt reservoir with water.
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 sof-
tener beyond repair).
Whenever you need to add salt, it is mandatory to complete the pro-
cedure before the beginning of the washing cycle to avoid corrosion.
Residual saline solution or grains of salt can lead to corrosion, irrep-
arably damaging the stainless steel components.
The guarantee is not applicable if faults are caused by such circumstances.
If the salt container is not lled, the water softener and the heating
element may be damaged as a result of limescale accumulation.
Using of Salt is recommended with any type of dishwasher detergent.
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 facto-
ry setting is “3”. See „WATER HARDNESS TABLE”.

4 (Hard) 17 - 34 30 - 60 21 - 42
5 (Very hard) 35 - 50 61 - 90 43 - 62
To change, follow instructions in section “SETTING MENU”.
Only use salt that has been specically designed for dishwashers.
After the salt has been poured into the machine, the SALT REFILL indicator
light switches o.
If the salt container is not lled, the water softener and the heating
element may be damaged as a result of limescale accumulation.
Using of Salt is recommended with any type of dishwasher detergent.
WATER SOFTENING SYSTEM
Water softener automatically reduces water hardness, consequently pre-
venting scale buildup on the heater, contributing also to better cleaning ef-
ciency. This system regenerates itself with salt, therefore it is required
to rell the salt container when empty.
The frequency of regeneration depends on the water hardness level setting
- regeneration takes place once per 4-6 Eco cycles with the water hardness
level set to 3. The regeneration process occurs at the beginning of the cycle
with additional fresh water.
• Single regeneration consumes ~3 L of water;
• Takes up to 5 additional minutes for the cycle;
• Consumes below 0.005kWh of energy.

FILLING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER
Rinse aid makes dish DRYING easier. The rinse aid dis-
penser Ashould 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 hap-
pens, clean the spill immediately with adry cloth.
3. Press the lid down until you hear aclick to close it.
NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the appli-
ance tub.
ADJUSTING THE DOSAGE OF RINSE AID
If you are not completely satised with the drying results, you can adjust
the quantity of rinse aid used.
To change, follow the instructions in the section “SETTING MENU”.
If the rinse aid level is set to ZERO, 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 6 levels can be set according to the dishwasher model.
• If you see bluish streaks on the dishes, set a low number (0-3).
• If there are drops of water or limescale marks on the dishes, set a mid-
range number (4-5).
FILLING THE DETERGENT DISPENSER
Only use detergent which has been specically designed for dishwashers.
DO NOT USE washing up liquid.
Using excessive detergent may result in foam residues remaining in
the machine after the cycle has ended.
Usage of detergent not designed for dishwashers may cause malfunc-
tion or damage to the appliance.
To achieve the best washing and drying results, the combined use of
detergent, rinse aid liquid and rened salt is required.
We recommend using detergents that do not contain phosphates or
chlorine, as these products are harmful to the environment.
Good washing results also depend on the correct amount of detergent
being used.
Exceeding the stated amount does not re-
sult in a more eective wash and increases
environmental pollution.
The amount can be adjusted to the soil
level. In the case of normally soiled items,
use approximately either 35g (powder
detergent) or 35ml (liquid detergent) and
additional tea spoon of detergent directly
inside the tub. If tablets are used, one tab-
let will be enough.
If the crockery is only lightly soiled or if it has been rinsed with water
before being placed in the dishwasher, reduce the amount of deter-
gent used accordingly (minimum 25 g/ml) e.g. skip the powder/gel
putted inside the tub.
For good washing results also follow the instructions shown on the
detergent box.
For further questions please ask the detergent producers.

DAILY USE
TIPS
Before loading the baskets, remove all food residues from the crockery 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 downwards
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 should not prevent the spray-
er arms from rotating.
Place any small items in the cutlery basket.
Very soiled dishes and pans should be placed in the lower basket because
in this sector the water sprays are stronger and allow a higher washing per-
formance. After loading the appliance, make sure that the sprayer arms can
rotate freely.
UNSUITABLE CROCKERY
• Wooden crockery and cutlery.
• Delicately decorated glasses, artistic handicrafts and antique crockery.
Their decorations are not resistant.
• Parts in synthetic material which do not withstand high temperatures.
• 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 ob-
jects) 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 dish-
washer safe.
• Use a delicate detergent suitable for crockery
• Collect glasses and cutlery from the dishwasher as soon as the wash cy-
cle is over.
TIPS ON ENERGY SAVING
• When the household dishwasher is used according to the manufacturer’s
instructions, washing tableware in a dishwasher usually consumes
less energy and water than hand dishwashing.
• In order to maximize dishwasher eciency, it is recommended to in-
itiate the wash cycle once the dishwasher is fully loaded. Loading
the household dishwasher up to the capacity indicated by the manu-
facturer will contribute to energy and water savings. Information on
the correct loading of tableware can be found in the Loading chapter.
In case of partial loading, it is recommended to use a dedicated wash
options if available (Half load/ Zone Wash/ Multizone), lling up only
selected racks. Incorrect loading or overloading of the dishwasher may
increase resources usage (such as water, energy and time, as well as in-
crease noise level), reducing cleaning and drying performance.
• Manual pre-rinsing of tableware items leads to increased water and ener-
gy consumption and is not recommended.
HYGIENE
To avoid odour and sediment which can be accumulated in the dishwasher
please run a high-temperature program at least once a month. Use a
teaspoon of detergent and run it without loading to clean your appliance.
RESISTANCE TO FROST
If the appliance is placed in surroundings exposed to the risk of frost, it
must be drained completely. Run the Self-Clean cycle to drain the water
tank. Turn o the water tap, remove the inlet and outlet hoses, and let all
the water drain away. Make sure that the water softener is full of dis-
solved regeneration salt in the salt container, to protect the appliance
from temperatures of up to -20°C.
If the appliance was stored in frost conditions the appliance must remain at
an ambient temperature of min. 5°C for at least 24 hours before the rst run.

water tap is closed.
SENSING - When the sensor is detecting the soil level an anima-
tion appears in the display (around 20 min.) and the cycle duration
is updated. SENSING is for the level of soiling on the dishes and
it is present for all cycles (excepting Eco) adjusting the program accordingly.
PROGRAMS TABLE
ECO program data is measured under laboratory conditions according to European Standard EN 60436:2020.
Note for Test Laboratories:
For information on comparative EN testing conditions, please send an email to the following address: [email protected]
Pre-treatment of the dishes is not needed before any of the programs.
*) Door is opened before the programm has been ended. This is to improve the drying eciency. Wait until the time has reached 00:00 to unload the dishwasher
**) Not all options can be used simultaneously.
***) Values given for programs other than the program Eco are indicative only. The actual time may vary depending on many factors such as temperature and
pressure of the incoming water, room temperature, amount of detergent, quantity and type of load, load balancing, additional selected options and sensor cali-
bration. The sensor calibration can increase program duration by up to 20 min.
OPTIONS can be selected/ deselected, after choosing the program, directly by pressing the corresponding button (if available - the indicator
lights up) (see CONTROL PANEL). If an option is not compatible with the selected program (see PROGRAMS TABLE), the corresponding LED ashes rap-
idly 3 times and beeps will sound. The option will not be enabled. An option can change time or water or energy consumption for the program.
OPTIONS AND FUNCTIONS
EXTRA DRY - The higher temperature during the final rinse and the
extended drying phase allow improved drying. The EXTRA DRY option
results in the lengthening of the wash cycle.
HALF LOAD - If there are not many dishes to be washed, HALF LOAD is
used to save water, electricity or time, depending on the selected
program. Remember to halve the amount of detergent.

DESCALE – Alarm - Limescale accumulation was detected on the in-
ternal components of the appliance. Check if the Water Hardness
Setting is at the correct value and salt is present in the salt container (see
FIRST TIME USE), then use a descaling product (WPro brand is recommend-
ed) with the Self-Clean program. After a successful descaling, the icon will
stop being displayed.
If the actions above are not performed, product performance will deteriorate.
DESCALE warning will start blinking and «dES» alarm will appear on the
display. If still no action is taken, the appliance will only allow a certain
number of cycles to be started (indicated during «dES» alarm display)
and then will be BLOCKED to prevent component damage, with only
the Self-Clean program available. Performing a full descaling will unblock
the product. In the case of extremely high amounts of limescale, descaling
may have to be performed twice to be ecient.

NOTE: The dishwasher may have already performed about 30 cycles.
This is due to the extended quality process carried out during
production. It guarantees higher product quality.
LOADING THE RACKS
CAPACITY: 16 standard place-settings
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.
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 rack can be adjusted: ahigh po-
sition to place bulky crockery in the lower basket and
alow position to make the most of the tip-up supports
by creating more space upwards and avoiding collision
with the items loaded into the lower rack.
The upper rack is equipped with an Upper Rack height
adjuster (see gure), without pressing the levers, lift it
up by simply holding the rack sides, as soon as the rack
is stable in its upper position. 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 folded or unfold-
ed to optimize the arrangement of crockery in-
side the rack. Wine glasses can be placed safely
in the foldable aps by inserting the stem of
each glass into the corresponding slots.
In the case of the high position of the upper
rack, aps cannot remain in the vertical position.
Depending on the model:
• to unfold the ap there is needed to slide it up
and rotate or release it from the snaps and pull
it down.
• to fold the ap there is needed to rotate it and
slide ap down or pull it up and attach ap to the snaps.
LOWER RACK
For pots, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery etc. Large plates and lids should ideal-
ly be placed at the sides to avoid interferences with the spray arm.
The lower rack has tip-up supports which can be used in avertical position
when arranging plates or in ahorizontal position (lower) to load pans and
salad bowls easily.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
ATTENTION: Always unplug the appliance when cleaning it and when
performing maintenance work.Do not use ammable liquids to clean the
machine.
CLEANING THE DISHWASHER
Any marks on the inside of the appliance may be removed
using a cloth dampened with water and a little vinegar.
The external surfaces of the machine and the control pan-
el can be cleaned using a non-abrasive cloth which has
been dampened with water. Do not use solvents or abra-
sive products.
PREVENTING UNPLEASANT ODOURS
Always keep the door of the appliance ajar in order to avoid moisture from
forming and being trapped inside the machine. Clean the seals around the
door and detergent dispensers regularly using a damp sponge. This will
avoid food becoming trapped in the seals, which is the main cause behind
the formation of unpleasant odours.
CHEKING THE WATER SUPPLY HOSE
Check the inlet hose regularly for brittleness and cracks. If damaged, re-
place it by a new hose available through our After-Sales Service or your
specialist dealer. Depending on the hose type:
If the inlet hose has a transparent coating, periodically check if the colour
intensies locally. If yes, the hose may have a leak and should be replaced.
For water stop hoses: check the small safety valve inspection window (see
arrow). If it is red, the water stop function was triggered, and the hose must
be replaced by a new one. For unscrewing this hose, press the release but-
ton while unscrewing the hose.
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 damage the dishwasher.
CLEANING THE FILTER ASSEMBLY
Regularly clean the lter assembly so that the lters do not clog and that
the waste water ows away correctly.
Using the dishwasher with clogged lters or foreign objects inside the l-
tration system or spray arms may cause unit malfunction resulting in loss of
performance, noisy work or higher resources usage.
The lter assembly consists of three lters which remove food residues
from the washing water and then recirculate the water.
The dishwasher must not be used without lters or if the lter is loose.
At least once per month or after every 30 cycles, check the lter assembly
and if necessary clean it thoroughly under running water, using a non-me-
tallic brush and following the instructions below:
1. Turn the cylindrical lter A in an anti-clockwise direction and pull it out
(Fig 1). It is important when reinstalling the lter that the two trian-
gles shown on the zoom meet.
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. In case you nd foreign objects (such as broken glass, porcelain, bones,
fruit seeds etc.) please remove them carefully.
5. Inspect the trap and remove any food residues. NEVER REMOVE the
wash-cycle pump protection (shown by an arrow) (Fig 4).

After cleaning the lters, replace the lter assembly and x it in position cor-
rectly; 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 recommended that
you check the arms from time
to time and clean them with
asmall non-metallic brush.
To remove the upper spray you
must remove it together with
the manifold.
The lower spray arm may be removed
by pulling it upwards and rotating it
anti-clockwise. Mounting back the
spray arm is by pulling it down and
rotating it clockwise.
The ceiling spray arm may be re-
moved by pressing it up and then ro-
tating it anti-clockwise. Mounting
back thespray arm is by pulling it up-
wards and rotating it clockwise.

Daily Reference Guide
The dishes are
not dried well.
Rinse aid is not present or the dosage is too
low.
Make sure the rinse aid dispenser is lled (see FILLING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER).
Multifunctional tablets only will not provide as good drying eects as the actual use
of liquid rinse aid.
The dishes have been unloaded after the
door was opened automatically but before
the actual cycle end.
Make sure the cycle has ended before starting to unload the dishes (see DAILY USE).
For even better drying results, it is recommended to let the dishes sit inside the dish-
washer with the door open for additional 15 minutes after the cycle ends.
The dishes are sitting too at.
If you notice puddles of water inside cavities of cups, mugs or bowls, try loading the
dishes (especially in the upper rack) providing more inclination to let larger amounts
of water drip down before drying starts.
The selected cycle does not have the dry-
ing phase.
Please check in the PROGRAMS TABLE if the selected program is equipped in the
drying phase.
A cycle without the drying phase may not deliver desired drying eciency, so it is
recommended to change cycle selection for the one that has the drying phase.
The dishes are made of non-stick or plastic. Some water drops remaining on this type of material are normal.
Dishes and
glasses have blue
streaks or bluish
tinges.
Rinse aid dosage is excessive. Adjust the dosage to a lower setting.
Dishes and glass-
es are covered
with limescale or
a whitish lm.
The salt reservoir is empty.
Rell the reservoir with salt as soon as possible. Using the appliance without salt may
cause damage to its internal components.

The cap of the salt reservoir is not properly
closed.
Check and close the salt reservoir cap.
The rinse aid reservoir is empty or the rinse
aid dosage is insucient.
Rell the dispenser with rinse aid and check the dosage setting (for more information - see
FILLING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER).
