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 dishwasher (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 filled 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 figure) and fill the salt reservoir right up to its edge (approximately 0.5 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. Residual saline solution or grains of salt can lead to corrosion, irreparably damaging the stainless steel components.

The guarantee is not applicable if faults are caused by such circumstances. If the salt container is not filled, the water softener and the heating element may be damaged as a result of limescale accumulation. Using 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 factory setting is "3". See "WATER HARDNESS TABLE".

Water Hardness Table
Level	°dHGerman degrees	°fHFrench degrees	°ClarkEnglish degrees
1 (Soft)	0 - 6	0 - 10	0 - 7
2 (Medium)	7 - 11	11 - 20	8 - 14
3 (Average)	12 - 16	21 - 29	15 - 20
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 specifically designed for dishwashers.

After the salt has been poured into the machine, the SALT REFILL indicator light switches off.

If the salt container is not filled, 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 preventing scale buildup on the heater, contributing also to better cleaning efficiency. This system regenerates itself with salt, therefore it is required to refill 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 dispenser A should be filled 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 overflow from the dispenser. If this happens, clean the spill immediately with a dry cloth.
3. Press the lid down until you hear a click to close it. NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the appliance tub.

ADJUSTING THE DOSAGE OF RINSE AID

If you are not completely satisfied 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 specifically 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 malfunction or damage to the appliance.

To achieve the best washing and drying results, the combined use of detergent, rinse aid liquid and refined 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 result in a more effective 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 an additional teaspoon of detergent directly inside the tub. If tablets are used, one tablet 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 detergent used accordingly (minimum 25 g/ml), e.g., skip the powder/gel placed inside the tub.

For good washing results, also follow the instructions shown on the detergent box.

For further questions, please ask the detergent producers.

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.

1. When measuring out the detergent, refer to the information mentioned earlier to add the proper quantity. Inside the dispenser D, there are indications to help with detergent dosing.
2. Remove detergent residues from the edges of the dispenser and close the cover until it clicks.
3. Close the lid of the detergent dispenser by pulling it up until the closing device is secured in place.

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

Usage of detergent not designed for dishwashers may cause malfunction or damage to the appliance.

ADVICE AND TIPS

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 firmly 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 flow freely.

Warning: lids, handles, trays and frying pans should not prevent the sprayer 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 performance. 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 objects) 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 dishwasher safe.

- Use a delicate detergent suitable for crockery.

- Collect glasses and cutlery from the dishwasher as soon as the wash cycle 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 efficiency, it is recommended to initiate the wash cycle once the dishwasher is fully loaded. Loading the household dishwasher up to the capacity indicated by the manufacturer 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), filling up only selected racks. Incorrect loading or overloading of the dishwasher may increase resources usage (such as water, energy and time, as well as increase noise level), reducing cleaning and drying performance.

- Manual pre-rinsing of tableware items leads to increased water and energy 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 off 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 dissolved 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, it must remain at an ambient temperature of at least 5°C for at least 24 hours before the first run.

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.

*) Door is opened before the program has been ended. This is to improve the drying efficiency. 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 Eco program 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 by up to 20 min.

OPTIONS AND FUNCTIONS

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 flashes rapidly 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.

POWER CLEAN® - Thanks to the additional power jets, this option provides a more intensive and powerful wash in the lower rack, in the specified area. This option is recommended for washing pots and casseroles (refer to the Power Clean® loading section).

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.

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.

SILENT - Suitable for night-time operation of the appliance. This option can be used to limit noise emission during wash phases. It will increase the time depending on base cycle selection.

SANI RINSE - This option can be used to sanitize washed dishes. It will increase the final rinse temperature and add antibacterial wash to the selected program. Ideal to clean crockery and feeding bottles. The dishwasher door must be kept shut for the entire duration of the program in order to guarantee reduction of germs. WARNING: the crockery and plates could be extremely hot at the end of the cycle.

TURBO - Thanks to the Turbo option you can reduce time up to 40% depending on the selected base program. Energy and water consumption are increased.

WATER TAP CLOSED – Alarm - Flashes when there is no inlet water or water tap is closed.

DELAY - The start of the program may be delayed for a period of time between 0:30 and 24 hours.

1. Select the program and any desired options. Press the DELAY button (repeatedly) to delay the start of the program. Adjustable from 0:30 to 24 hours. Once the 24 hours setting is reached, press the DELAY another time to deactivate the DELAY function.
2. Press the START/Pause button and close the door within 4 sec. The timer will begin counting down.
3. Once this time has elapsed, the indicator light switches off and the program begins automatically.

The DELAY function cannot be set once a program has been started.

SENSING - When the sensor is detecting the soil level an animation appears in the display (around 20 min.) and the cycle duration is updated. SENSING is for the level of soiling on the dishes and is all cycles (excepting Eco) adjusting the program accordingly.

NaturalDry - It is a convection drying system which automatically opens the door during/after drying phase to ensure exceptional drying performance every day. Door opens at the temperature that is safe to your kitchen furniture, thus door will not be opened when the option of SANI RINSE is on. As additional steam protection, special designed protection foil is added together with the dishwasher.

To see how to mount protection foil please refer to the INSTALLATION GUIDE. This feature is active by default, but it is possible to deactivate it in the "SETTINGS MENU"

LIGHT ON THE FLOOR - A LED light projected on the floor indicates that the dishwasher is working. The light goes off at the end of a cycle. This feature is active by default, but it is possible to deactivate it in the "SETTINGS MENU".

DESCALE - Alarm - Limescale accumulation was detected on the internal 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 recommended) with 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 efficient.

CYCLE COUNTER - This feature shows the number of cycles the dishwasher has performed.

For the number of cycles from 0-999, a fixed number will be displayed.

Example for 25 cycles.

When the cycle number is higher than 1000, the number will scroll in the display. The “_” represents the "", as for instance: 1.000 = 1_000, 13.947 = 13_947 (the number will scroll for 3 times).

Example for 13.947 cycles:

After the cycle visualization, the display will return to visualize "n"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: 15 standard place-settings

CUTLERY RACK

The third rack was designed to house the cutlery. Arrange the cutlery as shown in the figure.

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.

The cutlery rack is equipped with two sliding side trays to make the most of the height of the space below and enable the loading of high items into the upper rack.

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: a high position to place bulky crockery in the lower basket and a low 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 figure). 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 flaps can be folded or unfolded to optimize the arrangement of crockery inside the rack. Wine glasses can be placed safely in the foldable flaps by inserting the stem of each glass into the corresponding slots. In the case of the high position of the upper rack, flaps cannot remain in the vertical position. Depending on the model:

• To unfold the flap, slide it up and rotate or release it from the snaps and pull it down. • To fold the flap, rotate it and slide it down, or pull it up and attach it to the snaps.

LOWER RACK

For pots, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery, etc. Large plates and lids should ideally be placed at the sides to avoid interference with the spray arm.

The lower rack has tip-up supports which can be used in a vertical position when arranging plates or in a horizontal position (lower) to load pans and salad bowls easily.

(loading example for the lower rack)

POWER CLEAN®

Power Clean® uses the special water jets in the rear of the cavity to wash high-dirty items more intensively. The lower rack has a Space Zone, a special pull-out support in the rear of the rack that can be used to support frying pans or baking pans in an upright position, thus taking up less space. When placing pots and casseroles facing the Power Clean® component, please activate the POWER CLEAN® on the panel.

How to use the Power Clean®:

1. Adjust the Power Clean® area G by folding down the rear plate holders to load pots.
2. Load pots and casseroles inclined vertically in the Power Clean® area. Pots have to be inclined towards the powerful water jets.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

ATTENTION: Always unplug the appliance when cleaning it and when performing maintenance work. Do not use flammable 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 panel can be cleaned using a non-abrasive cloth which has been dampened with water. Do not use solvents or abrasive 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.

CHECKING THE WATER SUPPLY HOSE

Check the inlet hose regularly for brittleness and cracks. If damaged, replace it with 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 intensifies 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 button 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 filter assembly so that the filters do not clog and that the waste water flows away correctly.

Using the dishwasher with clogged filters or foreign objects inside the filtration system or spray arms may cause unit malfunction resulting in loss of performance, noisy work or higher resources usage.

The filter assembly consists of three filters which remove food residues from the washing water and then recirculate the water.

The dishwasher must not be used without filters or if the filter is loose. At least once per month or after every 30 cycles, check the filter assembly and if necessary clean it thoroughly under running water, using a non-metallic brush and following the instructions below:

1. Turn the cylindrical filter A in an anti-clockwise direction and pull it out (Fig 1). It is important when reinstalling the filter that the two triangles shown on the zoom meet.
2. Remove the cup filter B by exerting a slight pressure on the side flaps (Fig 2).
3. Slide out the stainless-steel plate filter C (Fig 3).
4. In case you find 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 filters, replace the filter assembly and fix it in position correctly; this is essential for maintaining the efficient 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 a small 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 top spray arm may be removed by pressing it up and then rotating it anti-clockwise. Mounting back the spray arm is by pulling it upwards and rotating it clockwise.

	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 flat.	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 drying 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 efficiency, 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 glasses are covered with limescale or a whitish film.	The salt reservoir is empty.	Refill the reservoir with salt as soon as possible. Using the appliance without salt may cause damage to its internal components.
	The water hardness setting is too low. Increase the setting (see WATER HARDNESS TABLE).
	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 insufficient.	Refill the dispenser with rinse aid and check the dosage setting (for more information - see FILLING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER).
The dishwasher shows F8 E5	Valve is blocked or faulty. Close the water tap, if possible. Do not switch off the power supply. Call the service.
Detergent leaks.	Depends on the liquid detergent used and can be emphasized in case of delay option is activated.	Small leaks will not cause machine malfunction and can be avoided by changing liquid detergent type or using tablets.
