Adjusting Salt Consumption  
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.  
The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjusting the amount of  
salt consumed according to the hardness of the water used. This  
is intended to optimise and customise the level of salt consump-  
tion so that it remains at a minimum.  
The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses a salt  
specifically designed to eliminate lime and minerals from the water.  
To adjust salt consumption, proceed as follows:  
Loading the Salt into the Softener  
Always use salt intended for use with dishwashers. The salt con-  
tainer is located beneath the lower rack and should be filled as  
follows:  
- Remove the lower rack and then unscrew and remove the cap  
from the salt container;  
- If you are filling the container for the first time, fill it with water;  
- Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and intro  
duce about 2 kg of salt. It is normal for a small amount of water  
to come out of the salt container.  
- Carefully screw the cap back on.  
- Unscrew the cap from the salt container;  
- On the neck of the container there is a ring with an arrow on it  
(see figure above). If necessary, turn the ring anti-clockwise  
from the "-" sign towards the "+" setting, according to water  
hardness.  
- It is highly recommended that the following table be consulted  
when making adjustments.

Detergent and Rinse Aid  
Detergent  
Rinse Aid  
Detergent specifically intended for use with dishwashers must  
be used. The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each  
wash cycle following the instructions provided in the "Wash Cycle  
Table ". The detergent dispenser is located on the inside panel  
of the door.  
This product makes dishes sparkle and helps them to dry  
without spotting. The dispenser is located on the inside  
panel of the door and should be filled after every 80 wash  
cycles.  
Loading the Rinse Aid  
Loading the detergent  
To open the dispenser, turn cap "C" anticlockwise and then  
add the rinse aid, making sure not to overfill.  
The amount of rinse aid used for each cycle can be regu-  
lated by turning dose adjuster "F", located beneath cap  
"C", with a screwdriver. There are 6 different settings; the  
normal dosage setting is 3.  
To open cover "A" on the dispenser, press button "B". The de-  
tergent for the wash cycle should be poured into compartment  
"C".  
After the detergent has been placed in the dispenser, close the  
cover and press down until it clicks in place.  
B
Important:  
Proper dosage of the rinse aid improves drying.  
If drops of water remain on the dishes or spotting occurs,  
the dosage adjuster should be turned to a higher setting. If  
the dishes have white streaks, turn the dosage adjuster to  
a lower setting.

Loading the Dishwasher  
Lower Rack  
Upper Rack  
Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove larger food  
particles to prevent the filter from becoming clogged, which re-  
sults 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.  
Pull out the rack 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, lids, serving dishes and bowls, as shown in  
the figure to the right.  
Load for 12 Standard Settings  
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.  
- Pots, serving bowls, etc. must always be placed face down.  
- Deep pots should be slanted to allow the water to flow out.  
- The silverware basket can be doubled (see Fig. A) so that only  
one section may be used when the silverware load is light. This  
makes space for additional pots and pans on the lower rack.  
- Silverware should be placed in the silverware basket with the  
handles at the bottom; if the rack has side baskets, the spoons  
should be located individually into the appropriate slots. Espe-  
cially long utensils should be placed in the horizontal 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).  
The upper rack can be adjusted for height by using the knobs  
located on both sides of the rack itself (see fig.B).  
Position the dishes and cookware so that they are not moved by  
the spray of water.

Turning on the Appliance  
the ON-OFF button, turn off the water supply and open the door  
of the dishwasher.  
Starting a wash cycle  
- Make sure that the plug of the appliance is inserted into the wall  
socket.  
Wait a few minutes before unloading the dishwasher to avoid  
handling the dishes and utensils while they are still hot and more  
susceptible to breakage. They will also dry better.  
- Make sure that the water supply is turned on to full pressure.  
- Load the dishwasher (see the section "Loading the  
Dishwasher").  
Cancelling or modifying a wash cycle setting  
- Pour in the detergent (see the section "Salt, Detergent and Rinse  
Aid").  
Premise: A cycle that is underway can only be modified if it  
has been running for a short time. Otherwise, the detergent  
may have already been used, and the appliance may have  
already drained the wash water. If this is the case, the deter-  
gent dispenser must be refilled (see paragraph "Loading the  
detergent").  
- Turn the knob located on the right of the control panel clock  
wise to the desired cycle number or symbol (see the section  
"Wash Cycle Table").  
- Press the ON-OFF button; the ON-OFF light will turn on. At this  
point, the wash cycle will begin.  
Press the ON-OFF button and the ON Light will turn off. Rotate  
the knob clockwise to the desired cycle setting (see the section  
"Starting a wash cycle"). Then, turn the dishwasher back on us-  
ing the ON-OFF button.  
If you forget to load some of dishes  
The wash cycle can be interrupted by pressing the ON-OFF  
button. You can then load additional dishes and turn the appli-  
ance back on. The appliance will resume operation from where it  
was interrupted.  
At the end of the wash cycle  
When the knob stops turning and is aligned with the STOP mark  
(see figure), the cycle has finished. Turn off the appliance using  
.6.

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 nega  
tive 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 odours from form  
ing and food from caking onto the dishes, you can run the soak  
cycle.  
- There is no utility in rinsing dishes, cookware and utensils be  
fore placing them in the dishwasher.  
- Choose the right wash cycle: the choice depends on the type of  
dishware, cookware and utensils being washed and how dirty  
they are.  
How to Keep Your Dishwasher in Shape  
After Every Wash  
Moving the Appliance  
After every wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance and  
leave the door slightly ajar so that moisture and odours are not  
trapped inside.  
If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in the vertical position.  
If absolutely necessary, it can be positioned on its back.  
Seals  
Remove the Plug  
One of the factors that cause odours to form in the dishwasher is  
food that remains trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning with a  
damp sponge will prevent this from occurring.  
Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the  
plug from the socket. Do not run risks.  
No Solvents or Abrasive Cleaning Products  
To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not  
use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. Use a cloth and warm  
soapy water.  
When You Go on Holiday  
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 pre-  
vent odours from forming inside the appliance.  
To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use a  
cloth dampened with water and a little white vinegar, or a clean-  
ing product made specifically for dishwashers.

Cleaning and Special Maintenance  
Filter Assembly  
For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be  
cleaned.  
The filter efficiently removes food particles from the wash water,  
allowing it to be recirculated during the cycle. For this reason, it  
is advisable to remove the larger food particles trapped in the  
filter after each wash cycle by rinsing the semi-circular filter and  
cup (A) under running water. To remove the filter assembly, pull  
on the cup handle in the upward direction. The entire filter as-  
sembly (made up of the semicircular filter (A) and the fine filter  
(B)) should be cleaned at least once a month. To clean the filter  
and fine filter, use a cleaning brush. Then, reassemble the filter  
parts as shown in the figures below and refit the entire assembly  
in the dishwasher, positioning it in its seat and pressing downward.  
The dishwasher must never be used without the filters. Improper  
replacement of the filters may reduce the performance of the  
appliance and damage dishes and utensils.  
Cleaning the Spray Arms  
It may happen that food particles become encrusted on the  
sprayer arms and block the hole (see "Close up view [interior]",  
letters C-E). Check the sprayer arms periodically and clean them  
when needed.

Installation  
Positioning the Appliance  
Drain Hose Connection  
Position the appliance in the desired location. The back should  
rest against the wall, 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 left to facilitate proper  
installation.  
Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe with a minimum diameter  
of 4cm, or let it run into the sink, making sure to avoid bending  
or crimping it. Use the special plastic support that comes with  
the appliance (see fig .2). The free end of the hose must be at a  
height between 40 and 100 cm and must not be immersed in  
water.  
Levelling the Appliance  
Once the appliance is positioned, adjust the feet (screwing them  
in or out) of the dishwasher until it is level. In any case, the appli-  
ance should not be inclined more than 2°. If the appliance is level,  
it will help ensure proper performance.  
Cold Water Connection  
Connect the cold water supply hose to a threaded 3/4 (gas) connec-  
tor and make sure that it is fastened tightly in place (see fig.1).  
If the water pipes are new or have not been used for a prolonged  
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 the water inlet can get blocked and damage the  
appliance.  
fig.2  
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.  
Attention:  
The connection must be made to the hot water line following the  
same procedures as for the connection to the cold water line.  
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.  
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 re-  
quirement 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  
adaptors or the like as they could cause overheating and burns.
