FIRST TIME USE

FILLING THE SALT RESERVOIR

The use of salt prevents the formation of LIMESCALE on the dishes and on the machine's functional components.

It is mandatory that the salt reservoir never be empty.
- It is important to set the water hardness. The salt reservoir is located in the lower part of the dishwasher and must be filled when the SALT REFILL indicator light in the control panel is lit.

1. Remove the lower rack and unscrew the reservoir cap (anticlockwise).

2. Position the funnel (see figure) and fill the salt reservoir right up to its edge (approximately 1 kg); it is not unusual for a little water to leak out.

3. Only the first time you do this: fill 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 softener beyond repair).

Whenever you need to add salt, it is mandatory to complete the procedure before the beginning of the washing cycle to avoid corrosion.

FILLING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER

Rinse aid makes dish DRYING easier. The rinse aid dispenser A should be filled when the RINSE AID REFILL indicator light ✦ in the control panel is lit.

NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the appliance tub.

FILLING THE DETERGENT DISPENSER

To open the detergent dispenser use the opening device C. Introduce the detergent into the dry dispenser D only. Place the amount of detergent for pre-washing directly inside the tub.

The detergent dispenser automatically opens up at the right time according to the program.

If all-in-one detergents are used, we recommend using the TABLET button, because it adjusts the program so that the best washing and drying results are always achieved Usage of detergent not designed for dishwashers may cause malfunction or damage to the appliance.

WATER SOFTENING SYSTEM

Water softener automatically reduces water hardness, consequently preventing scale buildup on heater, contributing also to better cleaning efficiency. This system regenerates itself with salt, therefore it is required to refill salt container when empty.

Frequency of regeneration depends on water hardness level setting - regeneration takes place once per 6 Eco cycles with water hardness level set to 3. Regeneration process starts in final rinse and finishes in drying phase, before cycle ends.

• Single regeneration consumes: 3.5L of water;
  • Takes up to 5 additional minutes for the cycle;
  • Consumes below 0.005kWh of energy.

2.		Intensive 65° - Program recommended for heavily soiled crockery, especially suitable for pans and saucepans (not to be used for delicate items).	√		2:40	18.0 1.60
3.		Mixed 55° - Mixed soil. For normally soiled dishes with dried food residues.	√		2:15	16.0 1.40
4.		Rapid 28' 50°- Program to be used for half load of lightly-soiled dishes with no dried food residues. Does not include drying phase.	-		0:28 9.0	0.50
5.		Soak - Use to refresh crockery planned to be washed later. No detergent to be used with this program.	-		0:12 4.7	0.01

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: [e-mail]
Pre-treatment of the dishes is not needed before any of the programs.
*) 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 calibration. The sensor calibration can increase program duration up to 20 min.
