Salt, Detergent and Rinse Aid ....  
After pouring in the detergent, replace the lid, pressing down  
until it clicks.  
Salt  
The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If  
hard water is used in the dishwasher, deposits will form on  
the dishes and utensils.  
Dishwasher detergent in tablets is now available on the  
market, in which case you should place one tablet into  
container "D" and replace the lid.  
Notice: To facilitate closing the cover, remove any  
excess detergent on the edges of the dispenser.  
The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses  
a salt specifically designed to eliminate lime and minerals  
from the water.  
Rinse Aid  
Loading the Salt into the Softener  
Always use salt intended  
for use with dishwashers.  
The salt container is located  
beneath the lower rack  
This product makes dishes sparkle more as it improves their  
drying. The rinse aid container is situated on the inside of the  
appliance door; you should refill it when you see the container  
is empty by means of indicator light “D”.  
and should be filled as  
follows:  
1. Remove the lower rack  
(If your dishwasher is fitted with a “low rinse aid” indicator  
light, fill the container up when the indicator light flashes or  
lights up).  
and then unscrew and  
remove the cap from the  
salt container;  
2. If you are filling the  
container for the first time,  
fill it with water;  
3. Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and  
introduce about 2 kg of salt. It is normal for a small amount  
of water to come out of the salt container.  
4. Carefully screw the cap back on.  
The salt container should be filled after about every  
30 wash cycles.  
Loading the Rinse Aid  
To open the dispenser, turn the "C" cap in the anti-clockwise  
direction and then pour in the rinse aid, making sure not to  
overfill. The amount of rinse aid used for each cycle can be  
regulated by turning the "F" dose adjustor, located beneath  
the "C" cap, with a screwdriver. There are 6 different  
settings; the normal dosage setting is 4.  
Important:  
Proper dosage of the rinse aid improves drying.  
If drops of water remain on the dishes or spotting occurs,  
the dosage adjustor should be turned to a higher setting. If  
the dishes have white streaks, turn the dosage adjustor to a  
lower setting.  
Warning: To prevent rust from forming , we advise you to  
load the salt before beginning a wash cycle.

Loading the Dishwasher  
Load examples  
Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove the  
larger food particles to prevent the filter from becoming  
clogged, which results in reduced performance.  
If the pots and pans have baked-on food that is extremely  
hard to remove, we recommend that they be allowed to  
soak before they are washed. This will eliminate the need  
for extra wash cycles.  
Upper Rack  
Lower Rack  
Pull out the racks to facilitate loading the dishwasher.  
How to Use the Lower Rack  
We recommend that you place the most difficult to clean  
items on the bottom rack: pots, pans, lids, serving dishes  
and bowls, as shown in the figure to the right.  
It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the  
sides of the racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation  
of the top spray arm.  
Lower Rack  
Upper Rack  
- Pots, serving bowls, etc. must always be placed top  
down.  
- Deep pots should be slanted to allow the water to flow  
out.  
- Silverware should be placed in the silverware basket  
with the handles at the bottom; If the rack has side  
baskets, the spoons should be loaded individually into  
the appropriate slots (see figure A)  
Especially long utensils should be placed in the horizon-  
tal position at the front of the upper rack.  
How to Use the Upper Rack  
The upper rack is designed to hold more delicate and  
lighter dishware, such as glasses, coffee and tea cups  
and saucers, as well as plates, small bowls and shallow  
pans (as long as they are not too dirty).  
- Position the dishes and cookware so that they do not  
get moved by the spray of water.  
Fig. A  
How to adjust the Upper rack ...  
The top rack can be adjusted using the two rack heights  
(top and bottom). To adjust the rack, open up the tabs  
that lock the guides and pull out the rack. Arrange the  
rack with the back wheels in either the top or bottom  
position and then insert it along the guides until the front  
wheels are on as well. Close the tabs to lock the rack in  
place (see Fig. F).

Turning on the Appliance  
Starting a wash cycle ...  
At the end of the wash cycle ....  
After performing all the operations described in the previous  
paragraphs, turn the water tap on completely, open the  
appliance door and press ON-OFF button "A": indicator light  
"B" comes on. Your appliance is now on and awaiting  
instructions.  
The end of the wash cycle is indicated by a double beep and  
the flashing of the wash cycle indicator light "C". Open the  
dishwasher door, press the ON-OFF button as well, thus cutting  
off the electricity supply to the appliance.  
Turn off the water tap.  
Wait a few minutes before unloading the dishes: they are  
very hot! If you wait a little while, they dry better thanks to  
the steam.  
Selecting a wash cycle …  
Select the wash cycle by pressing button "P". Each time this  
button is pressed, one of the indicator lights "C" will come  
on in sequence, select the wash cycle you deem most suitable  
for the type of dishes to wash (take a look at page 6, where  
you will find the wash cycle table). Close the appliance door  
and after a few seconds, you will hear a short beep: the  
wash cycle has begun.  
Empty the lower rack first.  
Warning!  
If opening the door soon after the end of the programme,or  
during it, stand away from the Dishwasher, to avoid possible  
injury from hot steam.  
Canceling or changing a cycle while it is underway ...  
Premise: You can modify the wash cycle in progress, if it has  
only just started.  
Open the appliance door carefully to avoid any hot water  
splashes, then keep button "P" pressed for approximately 5  
seconds, until you hear 3 short beeps. Indicator light "C" will  
come off and at this point, all the settings will have been  
cancelled. You are now free to re-set the correct wash cycle.  
If you forgot to put some dishes in ...  
The wash cycle can be interrupted by opening the door carefully  
(to prevent sprays of hot water and hot steam). Put the dishes  
into the dishwasher and close the door. The appliance will  
start up where it left off.  
There's been a power failure? Have you opened the  
dishwasher door?  
The wash cycle stops and then restarts when the electricity  
comes back on or when you close the door.

Energy Saving Tips  
- Use the right amount of detergent: if you use too much  
detergent, the result will not be cleaner dishes, but, rather,  
a greater negative impact on the environment.  
- It is important to try and run the dishwasher when it is fully  
loaded in order to save on energy. In order to prevent odors  
from forming and food from caking onto the dishes, you  
can run the hold cycle.  
- There is no utility in rinsing dishes, cookware and utensils  
before placing them in the dishwasher.  
- Choose the right wash cycle: the choice of cycle depends  
on the type of dishware, cookware and utensils being  
washed and how dirty they are.  
How to Keep Your Dishwasher in Shape  
When You Go on Holiday  
After Every Wash  
When you go on holiday, it is recommended that you run a  
wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and then remove  
the plug from the socket, turn off the water supply and  
leave the door of the appliance slightly ajar. This will help  
the seals last longer and prevent odors from forming within  
the appliance.  
After every wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance  
and leave the door slightly ajar so that moisture and odors  
are not trapped inside.  
Remove the Plug  
Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove  
the plug from the socket. Do not run risks.  
Moving the Appliance  
If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in the vertical  
position. If absolutely necessary, it can be positioned on its  
back.  
No Solvents or Abrasive Cleaning Products  
To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do  
not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. Rather, use  
only a cloth and warm soapy water.  
To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior,  
use a cloth dampened with water and a little white vinegar,  
or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.  
Seals  
One of the factors that cause odors to form in the dishwasher  
is food that remains trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning  
with a damp sponge will prevent this from occuring.

Cleaning and Special Maintenance  
Filter Assembly  
If you want consistent good results from your dishwasher,  
you need to clean the filter assembly.  
The dishwasher is not to be used without filters. Improper  
replacement of the filters may reduce the efficiency of the  
wash and even damage your dishwasher.  
The food particles are removed from the wash water, allowing  
it to be recirculated during the cycle, filtered perfectly. For  
this reason, it is a good idea to remove the larger food particles  
trapped inside the cup “C”  
Cleaning the Sprayer Arms  
It may happen that food  
particles  
become  
1
and the semi-circular filter A  
after each wash; pull the cup  
handle upwards to remove  
them. Just rinse them under  
running water.  
The entire filter assembly  
should be cleaned thoroughly  
once a month: cup C + semi-  
encrusted on the  
sprayer arms and block  
the holes. Check the

sprayer  
arms  
periodically and clean  
them when needed  
(see “Close-up View  
[interior]”, letters F-I).  
C
circular filter A + cylindrical filter B. Rotate filter “B”  
anticlockwise to remove it.  
Cleaning the Water Inlet Filter  
For cleaning, use a non metallic brush.  
Periodically clean the water inlet filter (see figure 2 under  
"Installation") located on the outlet of the water supply tap.  
After turning off the water tap, unscrew the end of the water  
supply hose, remove the filter and clean it carefully under  
running water. Then, return the filter to its place and tighten  
the water supply hose back into position.  
Reassemble the filter parts (as shown in the figure) and  
reinsert the whole assembly into the dishwasher. Position it  
into its housing and press downwards.  
Troubleshooting  
Error messages  
It may occur that the dishwasher does not function or does  
not function properly. Before calling for assistance, let us  
see what can be done first: have you forgot to press one of  
the buttons or to perform an essential operation?  
The Dishwasher Does Not Start  
Your dishwasher is equipped with a safety system which is  
able to detect any operating anomalies. These anomalies  
are reported by one or two cycle phase indicator lights "C"  
flashing rapidly. Take a note of which lights are flashing, turn  
the appliance off and call for technical assistance.  
Have you checked whether:  
- the plug is pushed into the socket correctly;  
- the power is on in the house;  
- the door is closed properly;  
- the ON-OFF switch is on "ON";  
- the water supply is turned on.  
The Dishwasher Does Not Load Water  
Have you checked whether:  
- the water is turned on and the hose is connected properly;  
- the water supply to the house is on and has sufficient  
pressure;  
- the water supply hose is crimped or bent;  
- the filter for the water supply hose is clogged.  
The Dishes Are Not Clean  
Tap off alarm  
If you have forgotten to turn the water tap on, your appliance  
will remind you of this by sounding a few short beeps for a  
few minutes. Turn the tap on and your appliance will start up  
again after a few minutes. Were you to be absent when  
these beeps are sounded, the appliance will be blocked  
automatically and cycle 2 and 3 indicator lights (Normal and  
Rapid) will flash rapidly. Turn the appliance off at the ON-  
OFF button,turn on the water tap and wait approximately 20  
seconds before turning the appliance back on, now the  
program will start.  
If, despite all these checks, the dishwasher still does not  
function and/or the problem persists, contact the nearest  
authorised service centre and provide them with the  
following information:  
- Have you put the right amount of detergent into the  
dispenser?  
- Is the wash cycle suitable for the dishes you have placed  
inside the appliance?  
- Are the filter and microfilter clean?  
- Can the sprayer arms turn freely?  
- the nature of the problem;  
- the model type number (Mod. ...) and the serial number  
(S/N ....), which are indicated on the plate located on the  
side of the inner part of the door.  
The Dishwasher Does Not Drain  
Have you checked whether:  
- the drain hose is crimped or bent.  
Never call on unauthorised technicians and refuse to  
allow parts to be installed that are not original spare  
parts.  
Lime Deposits or a White Film Form on the Dishes  
Have you checked whether:  
- the lid to the salt container is closed properly;  
- the rinse aid dosage is correct.

Installation  
Drain Hose Connection  
Positioning the Appliance  
Insert the drain hose into a  
drain pipe with a minimum  
diameter of 4 cm., or let it run  
into the sink, making sure to  
avoid bending or crimping it.  
Use the speical plastic support  
that comes with the appliance  
(see figure to the right). The  
free end of the hose must be  
at a height between 40 and  
100 cm and must not be  
immersed in water.  
Position the appliance in the desired location. The back  
should rest against the wall behind it, and the sides, along  
the adjacent cabinets or wall. The dishwasher is equipped  
with water supply and drain hoses that can be positioned to  
the right or the left to facilitate proper installation.  
Levelling the Appliance  
Once the appliance is positioned, adjust the feet (screwing  
them in or out) to adjust the height of the dishwasher, making  
it level. In any case, the appliance should not be inclined  
more than 2°.  
If the appliance is level, it will help ensure proper perfor-  
mance.  
Attention: The special plastic hose support must be solidly  
fastened to the wall to prevent the drain hose from moving  
and allowing water to spill outside the drain.  
Cold Water Connection  
Connect the cold water supply  
hose to a threaded 3/4 (gas)  
connector, inserting the small  
filter supplied with the  
dishwasher and making sure  
that it is fastened tightly in place  
(see figure 2).  
If the water pipes are new or  
have not been used for an  
extended period of time, let the  
water run to make sure that the water is clear and free of  
impurities. If this precaution is not taken, there is a risk that  
Electrical Connection  
After making sure that the voltage and frequency values for  
the current in the home correspond to those on the rating  
plate (located on the stainless steel inner door of the  
appliance) and that the electrical system is sized for the  
maximum voltage on the rating plate, insert the plug into  
an electrical socket which is earthed properly (the earthing  
of the appliance is a safety requirement mandated by law).  
If the electrical socket to which the appliance must be  
connected is not appropriate for the plug, replace the plug,  
rather than using adpators or the like as they could cause  
overheating and burns.

inlet can get blocked and damage the  
Caution: the dishwasher plug must be accessible even when  
the appliance is installed as a built-in unit so that maintenance  
can be done safely.  
Hot Water Connection  
The water supply to the appliance can also be connected to  
the house's hot water line (centralised system, heating  
system), as long as it does not exceed a temperature of 60°  
C.  
In this case, the wash cycle time will be shortened by about  
15 minutes and the wash efficiency slightly reduced.  
The connection must be made to the hot water line following  
the same procedures as those for the connection to the cold  
water line.  
Should the electricity supply cable be damaged, we  
recommend that you only contact authorised Technical Service  
Centres for the replacement.
