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.

- 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.

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).

Water Hardness Table

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

- Switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button. Setting is complete!

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 of 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.

Technical diagram showing two views of a refrigerator with labeled parts A and B, including hand operating controls.

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 (ECO), 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 instruction 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.

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 geometry of the rack makes it possible to place such small items as coffee cups in the area in the middle.

UPPER RACK

Technical diagram of a mechanical assembly with gears and housing (no text or labels)

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: high position to place bulky crockery in the lower basket and low position to make the most of the tip-up supports by creating more space upwards and avoid colli-

sion with the items loaded into lower rack.

The upper rack is equipped with a 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.

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, Multi Zone), 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 one a month. Use a tea spoon 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 sprayarms may cause unit malfunction resulting in lose 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).ER REMOVE the wash-cycle pump protection (black detail) (Fig 4).

1 A C 3

2 B A 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 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 hands holding a tool, no visible text or symbols

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 or install a mechanical component on a gas stove (no text or symbols visible)

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

In case your dishwasher doesn't work properly, check if the problem can be solved by going through the following list.

For other errors or issues please contact authorized After-sales Service which contact details can be found in the warranty booklet.

This appliance is not for professional use. Do not use the appliance outdoors. Do not store explosive or flammable substances (e.g. gasoline or aerosol cans) inside or near the appliance - risk of fire. The appliance must be used only to wash domestic dishes in accordance with the instructions in this manual. The water in the appliance is not potable. Use only detergent and rinse additives designed for an automatic dishwasher. When adding salt to the water softener, run one cycle immediately to avoid corrosion damage to internal parts. Store the detergent, rinse aid and salt out of reach of children. Shut off the water supply and unplug or disconnect the power before servicing and maintenance. Disconnect the appliance in the event of any malfunction.

INSTALLATION

The appliance must be handled and installed by two or more persons - risk of injury. Use protective gloves to unpack and install - risk of cuts. Connect the dishwasher to the water mains using only new hose sets. The old hose sets should not be reused. All hoses must be securely clamped to prevent them coming loose during operation. All local waterboard regulations must be complied with. Water supply pressure 0.05 - 1.0 MPa. The appliance must be placed against the wall or built into furniture to limit the access to its rearside. For dishwashers having ventilation openings in the base, the openings must not be obstructed by a carpet.

Installation, including water supply (if any) and electrical connections, and repairs must be carried out by a qualified technician. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically stated in the user manual. Keep children away from the installation site. After unpacking the appliance, make sure that it has not been damaged during transport. In the event of problems, contact the dealer or your nearest After-sales Service. Once installed, packaging waste (plastic, styrofoam parts etc.) must be stored out of reach of children - risk of suffocation. The appliance must be disconnected from the power supply before any installation operation - risk of electrical shock. During installation, make sure the appliance does not damage the power cable - risk of fire or electrical shock. Only activate the appliance when the installation has been completed.

If installing the dishwasher at the end of a row of units making the side panel accessible, the hinge area must be covered to avoid risk of injury. The inlet water temperature depends on the dishwasher model. If the installed inlet hose is marked „25°C Max“, the maximum allowed water temperature is 25°C. For all other models the maximum allowed water temperature is 60°C. Do not cut hoses and, in the case of appliances fitted with a waterstop system, do not immerse the plastic casing containing the inlet hose in water. If hoses are not long enough, contact your local dealer. Make sure the inlet and drain hoses are kink-free and are not crushed. Before using the appliance for the first time, check the water inlet and drain hose for leaks. Make sure that the four feet are stable and resting on the floor, adjusting them as required, and check that the dishwasher is perfectly levelled using a spirit level.

ELECTRICAL WARNINGS

The rating plate is on the edge of the dishwasher door (visible when the door is open).

It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from the power supply by unplugging it if plug is accessible, or by a multi-pole switch installed upstream of the socket and the appliance must be earthed, in conformity with national electrical safety standards.

Do not use extension leads, multiple sockets or adapters. The electrical components must not be accessible to the user after installation. Do not use the appliance when you are wet or barefoot. Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged power cable or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced with an identical one by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard - risk of electrical shock. If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlet, contact a qualified technician. Do not pull the power supply cable. Do not immerse the mains cord or plug in water. Keep the cord away from hot surfaces.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Ensure that the appliance is switched off and disconnected from the power supply before performing any maintenance operation.

To avoid risk of personal injury use protective gloves (risk of laceration) and safety shoes (risk of contusion); be sure to handle by two persons (reduce load); never use steam cleaning equipment (risk of electric shock). Non-professional repairs not authorized by the manufacturer could result in a risk to health and safety, for which the manufacturer cannot be held liable. Any defect or damage caused from non-professional repairs or maintenance will not be covered by the guarantee, the terms of which are outlined in the document delivered with the unit.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

ECO program is suitable to clean normally soiled tableware, that for this use, it is the most efficient program in terms of its combined energy and water consumption, and that it is used to assess compliance with the EU Ecodesign legislation. Loading the household dishwasher up to the capacity indicated by the manufacturer will contribute to energy and water savings. The manual pre-rinsing of tableware items leads to increased water and energy consumption and is not recommended. Washing tableware in a household dishwasher usually consumes less energy and water in the use phase than hand dishwashing when the household dishwasher is used according to the manufacturer's instructions.
