- Open the water tap.
- Start a programme to remove any processing residuals that can still be inside the appliance
Do not use detergent and do not load the baskets.
After starting a programme, it may take up to 5 minutes for the appliance to recharge the resin in the water softener. It seems that the appliance is not working. The washing phase starts only after this procedure is completed. The procedure is repeated periodically.
ADDING SALT
Before the first use, put one litre of water in the salt container
CAUTION!
Water and salt can come out of the salt container during filling. To prevent corrosion, start a programme immediately after filling the salt container.
ADDING RINSE AID

After 5 minutes of non-use, the appliance enters standby mode and all the indicators are off. It decreases the energy consumption.
Do not try to close the appliance door within 2 minutes after AirDry automatically opens it, as this may cause damage to the appliance. If, afterwards, the door is closed for another 3 minutes, the running programme ends.
CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING! Before maintenance, deactivate the appliance and disconnect the mains plug from the main socket.
Dirty filters and clogged spray arms decrease the washing results. Make a check regularly and, if necessary, clean them.
- Make sure that there are no residues of food or soil in or around the edge of the sump.
- Put back in place the flat filter (C). Make sure that it is correctly positioned under the 2 guides.
- Reassemble the filters (A) and (B).
- Put back the filter (A) in the flat filter (C). Turn it clockwise until it locks.
An incorrect position of the filters can cause bad washing results and damage to the appliance
CLEANING THE SPRAY ARMS
Do not remove the spray arms. If the holes in the spray arms are clogged, remove remaining parts of soil with a thin pointed object
EXTERNAL CLEANING
- Clean the appliance with a moist soft cloth.
- Only use neutral detergents.
- Do not use abrasive products, abrasive cleaning pads or solvents.
INTERNAL CLEANING
- Carefully clean the appliance, including the rubber gasket of the door, with a soft damp cloth.

THE WASHING AND DRYING RESULTS ARE NOT SATISFACTORY
| Problem | Possible cause and solution |
| Poor washing results. |
Refer to "Daily use", "Hints and tips" and basket loading leaflet. Use more intensive washing programmes. Clean spray arm jets and filter. Refer to "Care and Cleaning". |
| Poor drying results. |
Tableware has been left for too long inside a closed appliance. There is no rinse aid or the dosage of rinse aid is not enough. Set the rinse aid dispenser to a higher level. Plastic items may need to be towel dried. For the best drying performance activate AirDry. We recommend to always use rinse aid, even in combination with multi-tablets. |
| There are whitish streaks or bluish layers on glasses and dishes. |
The release quantity of rinse aid is too much. Adjust the rinse aid level to a lower level. The quantity of detergent is too much. |
| There are stains and dry water drops on glasses and dishes. |
The released quantity of rinse aid is not sufficient. Adjust the rinse aid level to a higher level. The quality of the rinse aid can be the cause. |
| The dishes are wet. |
For the best drying performance activate AirDry. The programme does not have a drying phase or has a drying phase with low temperature. The rinse aid dispenser is empty. The quality of the rinse aid can be the cause. The quality of the multi-tablets can be the cause. Try a different brand or activate the rinse aid dispenser and use rinse aid and multi-tablets together. |
| The interior of the appliance is wet. | This is not a defect of the appliance. it is caused by the humidity in the air that condenses on the walls. |
| Unusual foam during washing |
Use the detergent for dishwashers only. There is a leak in the rinse aid dispenser. Contact an Authorised Service Centre. |
| Traces of rust on cutlery |
The detergent tablet got stuck in the dispenser and therefore was not completely washed away by water. Water cannot wash away the detergent from the dispenser. Make sure that the spray arm is not blocked or clogged. Make sure that items in the baskets do not impede the lid of the detergent dispenser from opening. |
| Odours inside the appliance | Refer to "Internal cleaning". |
| Limescale deposits on the tableware, on the tub and on the inside of the door. |
The level of salt is low, check the refill indicator. The cap of the salt container is loose. Your tap water is hard. Refer to "The water softener". Even using multi-functional tabs use salt and set regeneration of the water softener. Refer to "The water softener". If lime scale deposits still remain, clean the appliance with appliance cleaners which are particularly suitable for this purpose. Try different detergent. Contact the detergent manufacturer. |
| Dull, discoloured or chipped tableware. |
Make sure that only dishwasher-safe items are washed in the appliance. Load and unload the basket carefully. Refer to basket loading leaflet. Place delicate items in the upper basket |
