FIRST TIME USE

SALT, RINSE AID AND DETERGENT

ADVICE REGARDING THE FIRST TIME USE

After installation, remove the stoppers from the racks and the retaining elastic elements from the upper rack.

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 (see PRODUCT DESCRIPTION) and must be filled when the SALT REFILL indicator light in the control panel is lit.

Illustration of a hand pouring granular material into a bowl on a stand, with a separate rose (no text or symbols).

  1. Remove the lower rack and unscrew the reservoir cap (anticlockwise).
  2. Only the first time you do this: fill the salt reservoir with water.
  3. 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.
  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.

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 sets the default value for the water hardness.

  • Switch on the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.
  • Switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.
  • Hold down button P for 5 seconds, until you hear a beep.
  • Switch on the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.
  • The current selection level number and the salt indicator light both flash.
  • Press button P to select the desired hardness level (see WATER HARDNESS TABLE).

As soon as this procedure is complete, run a program without loading. 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 salt is recommended with any type of dishwasher detergent.

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.

  • Switch the dishwasher on using the ON/OFF button.
  • Switch it off using the ON/OFF button.
  • Press button P three times - a beep will be heard.
  • Switch it on using the ON/OFF button. • The current selection level number and rinse aid indicator light flash.
  • Press button P to select the level of rinse aid quantity to be supplied.
  • Switch it off using the ON/OFF button.

Setting is complete!

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 5 levels can be set according to the dishwasher model. The factory setting is specific to the model; please follow the instructions above to check this for your machine. - If you see bluish streaks on the dishes, set a low number (1-2). - If there are drops of water or limescale marks on the dishes, set a mid-range number (3-4).

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.

Diagram of a device with labeled parts and hand tool, showing internal components and assembly steps.

  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 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.

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 do 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.
  • Delicate decorated glasses, artistic handicraft 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 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 correct loading of tableware can be found in Loading chapter. In case of partial loading it is recommended to use dedicated wash options if available (Half load/ Zone Wash, Multizone), filling up only selected racks. Incorrect loading or overloading 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 the loading to clean your appliance.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

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 dishwasher with clogged filters or foreign objects inside 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 each 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).
  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 (black detail) (Fig 4).

1 A C 3

2 B A 4

After cleaning the filters, re-place the filter assembly and fix it in position correctly; this is essential for maintaining the efficient operation of the dishwasher.

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 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.

Technical line drawing of a mechanical assembly with a hand holding a lever and rotating around a central component (no text or symbols present).

To remove the upper spray arm, turn the plastic locking ring in a clockwise direction. The upper spray arm should be replaced so that the side with the greater number of holes is facing upwards.

Illustration of a hand using a tool to press a cylindrical component on a gas stove (no text or symbols).

The lower spray arm may be removed by pulling it upwards.

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

TROUBLESHOOTING

TIPS FOR FIRST USE

After installation, remove the retainers from the baskets and the elastic fastening elements from the upper basket.

FILLING THE SALT RESERVOIR

  1. Open dispenser B by pressing and pulling the tab on the lid.
  2. Carefully pour rinse aid up to the reference mark for maximum quantity (110 ml) in the filling space, being careful not to spill. If this happens, immediately clean up the spill with a dry cloth.

ADJUSTING THE RINSE AID DOSAGE

If you are not completely satisfied with the drying results, you can adjust the amount of rinse aid used.

  1. When dosing detergent, refer to the information provided earlier to add the appropriate amount. Inside dispenser D there are markings to help you with dosing.
  2. Remove any detergent residue from the edges of the container before closing the lid so that it fits properly.
  3. Close the detergent container lid by pulling it until the closing mechanism engages.

  1. Remove the lower basket and unscrew the salt reservoir cap (counterclockwise).
  2. Only the first time you do this: fill the salt reservoir with water.
  3. Place the funnel (see figure) and fill the salt reservoir to the edge (about 1 kg); it is not unusual for a little water to leak out.
  4. Remove the funnel and wipe away any salt residue from the opening.

Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly, so that detergent cannot enter the container during the wash cycle (this could damage the water softener irreparably).

Whenever you need to add salt, be sure to do it before starting the wash cycle to avoid corrosion.

SETTING WATER HARDNESS

For the water softener to work properly, the water hardness must be set according to the actual hardness of the water in your home. You can obtain this information from your local water supplier. The default water hardness value is set at the factory.

  • Turn on the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.
  • Turn off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.
  • Hold the P button for 5 seconds, until a beep sounds.
  • Turn on the device by pressing the ON/OFF button.
  • The current selection level number and the light indicator for the compartment are also turned on.
  • Press button P to select the desired water hardness (see WATER HARDNESS TABLE).
