Salt, Detergent and Rinse Aid .... Salt The hardness of the water varies from place to place. Ifhard water is used in the dishwasher, deposits will form onthe dishes and utensils.The appliance is equipped with a special softener that usesa salt specifically designed to eliminate lime and mineralsfrom the water.Loading the Salt into the SoftenerAlways use salt intended for use with dishwashers.The salt container is locatedbeneath the lower rackand should be filled asfollows:1. Remove the lower rackand then unscrew andremove the cap from thesalt container;2. If you are filling thecontainer for the first time,fill it with water;3. Place the end of thefunnel (supplied) into the hole and introduce about 2 kg ofsalt. It is normal for a small amount of water to come out ofthe salt container.4. Carefully screw the cap back on.The salt container should be filled after about every30 wash cycles.Warning: To prevent rust from forming , we advise you toload the salt before beginning a wash cycle. Detergent Detergent specifically intended for use with dishwashers mustbe used. The dispenser must be refilled before the start ofeach wash cycle following the instructions provided in the"Wash Cycle Table." The detergent dispenser is located onthe inside panel of the door.Loading the detergent To open lid "A", press button "B". The cleaning detergent should be introduced into the two containers "C"and "D" up to the rim.After pouring in the detergent, replace the lid, pressing downuntil it clicks.Dishwasher detergent in tablets is now available on themarket, in which case you should place one tablet intocontainer "D" and replace the lid.Notice: To facilitate closing the cover, remove anyexcess detergent on the edges of the dispenser. Rinse Aid This product makes dishes sparkle and helps them to drywithout spotting. The dispenser is located on the inside panelof the door and should be filled after every 80 wash cycles(or when the rinse aid indicator light comes on for thosemodels with this feature).Loading the Rinse AidTo open the dispenser, turn the "C" cap in the anti-clockwisedirection and then pour in the rinse aid, making sure not tooverfill. The amount of rinse aid used for each cycle can beregulated by turning the "F" dose adjustor, located beneaththe "C" cap, with a screwdriver. There are 6 differentsettings; 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. Ifthe dishes have white streaks, turn the dosage adjustor to alower setting. Warning Three-in-one dishwasher tablets are now available on the market, and combine the detergent, salt and rinse aid all in one. If the water in your area is hard or very hard, we still recommend you pour extra salt into the relevant dispenser to prevent the formation of white streaks on your dishes or on the appliance interior. Add rinse aid to the corresponding container only if you are dissatisfied with the results on your dishes. In any case, please read the manufacturer's instructions provided on the packet.

Loading the Dishwasher 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. 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. - Pots, serving bowls, etc. must always be placed top down. - Deep pots should be slanted to allow the water to flow out. - insert the cutlery into the basket: knives and utensils with sharp blades or tips should be positioned with the sharp parts at the bottom. Position all cutlery items so that they don't touch. If the rack has side baskets, the spoons should be loaded individually into the appropriate slots (see figure

Especially 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). - Position the dishes and cookware so that they do not get moved by the spray of water. 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 ... After performing all the operations described in the previous paragraphs, turn the water tap on completely and press ON- OFF button "A": now the appliance is on and ready to be programmed. Selecting a wash cycle … To select the wash cycle, turn knob "D" clockwise until the reference notch on the knob corresponds with the number or symbol for the cycle you wish to set (have a look at the wash cycle table on page 15). For a few seconds, the indicator light "G" concerning the pre-wash cycle phase begins to flash, then it stays permanently on without flashing for another 10 seconds approximately. During this time, you can modify your choice of wash cycle. After a few seconds, indicator light "G" corresponding to the cycle starting phase will light up: the wash cycle has begun and we do not recommend you change it. Cycle phase indicator lights The dishwasher is provided with 4 indicator lights "G" which come on in sequence as the appliance is performing that specific phase of the wash cycle. These phases are: pre-wash, wash, rinses, drying Cancelling or modifying a wash cycle in progress….. You can modify the wash cycle in progress, if it has only just started. Turn the knob anti-clockwise until it reaches the Reset position and after a few seconds indicator light "G" will turn off. This is to inform you that all the settings have been cancelled. You are now free to re-set the correct wash cycle. If you have left out a dish… You can interrupt the wash cycle by pressing the ON-OFF button, insert the dish you had forgotten and press the ON- OFF button again. The cycle will start up from where you interrupted it. 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 shut the door. At the end of the wash cycle…. The end of the wash cycle is indicated by the flashing of the drying stage indicator light. Turn the knob anti-clockwise to Reset in order to reset all the settings. Turn the appliance off to cut off the electricity supply. 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. Empty the lower rack first. Make sure the wash cycle has ended before removing the dishes!

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.15

Energy Saving Tips - 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. - 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. - 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. - There is no utility in rinsing dishes, cookware and utensils before placing them in the dishwasher. How to Keep Your Dishwasher in Shape After Every Wash 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. 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. 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 prevent odors from forming within the appliance. 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. 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.17

Cleaning and Special Maintenance The filter assembly If you want consistent good results from your dishwasher, you need to clean the filter assembly. 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” 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- circular filter A + cylindrical filter B. Rotate filter “B” anticlockwise to remove it. For cleaning, use a non metallic brush. 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. 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. Cleaning the Sprayer Arms It may happen that food particles become 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). Cleaning the Water Inlet Filter 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. Troubleshooting 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 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 - 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 Dishwasher Does Not Drain Have you checked whether: - the drain hose is crimped or bent. 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. Error messages. Your dishwasher is equipped with a safety system which is able to detect any operating anomalies. These anomalies are reported by one or two wash cycle indicator lights "G" flashing rapidly. Take a note of which lights are flashing, turn the appliance off and call for technical assistance. Tap off alarm If you have forgotten to turn the water tap on, your appliance will be blocked automatically and indicator lights 2 and 3 (wash and rinses) 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; the selected wash cycle will start up again. Clogged filter alarm If the appliance is blocked and indicator lights 1 (pre-wash) and 3 (rinses) flash rapidly, this means the filter is clogged by large particles of food residue. Turn the appliance off, clean the filter thoroughly and reposition it in its seat as illustrated on this page. Then turn it back on. The selected wash cycle will start up again. Water load solenoid valve malfunction alarm. If indicator light 4 (Rapid) flashes rapidly, TURN the dishwasher OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN after one minute. If the alarm persists, first turn off the water tap to avoid any flooding and then cut off the electricity supply and call for technical assistance. 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: - 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. Never call on unauthorised technicians and refuse to allow parts to be installed that are not original spare parts.

Installation Positioning the Appliance 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. Cold Water Connection This electric household appliance should be connected to the water mains using the cold water supply hose provided with the appliance only. Do not use a different hose. In the event of replacements, use original spare parts only. 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 the water inlet can get blocked and damage the appliance. 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°

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. Drain Hose Connection Fit the drain pipe into a drain line with a minimum diameter of 4 cm or place it over the sink. Avoid restricting or bending it. The part of the pipe marked with the letter A should be between 40 and 100 cm above the ground. The pipe should not be immersed in water. 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. 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. Should the electricity supply cable be damaged, we recommend that you only contact authorised Technical Service Centres for the replacement. Condensation-proof tape. On some models, a transparent condensation-proof adhesive tape has been provided. It should be stuck onto the lower side of your wooden worktop to protect it from the formation of condensation. When not provided, this tape can be requested as a spare part from authorised retailers.
