FIRST TIME USE SALT, RINSE AID AND DETERGENT

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.

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 START/Pause 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).

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 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 START/Pause 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 1 (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

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

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.

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.

LOADING THE RACKS

UPPER RACK

(loading example for the upper rack)

Load delicate and light dishes: glasses, cups, saucers, low salad bowls.

ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE UPPER RACK

The height of the upper basket can be adjusted: high position to place bulky crockery in the lower basket and low position to make the most of the tip-up compartments by creating more space upwards.

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.

Depending on the model:

- To unfold the flaps, slide them up and rotate, or release them from the snaps and pull them down.

- To fold the flaps, rotate them and slide them down, or pull them up and attach them 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 that 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)

CUTLERY BASKET

The basket is equipped with top grilles for improved cutlery arrangement. The cutlery basket should be positioned only at the front of the lower rack.

Knives and other utensils with sharp edges must be placed in the cutlery basket with the points facing downwards, or they must be positioned horizontally in the tip-up compartments on the upper rack.

To disable the DEMO MODE the following actions must be carried out in sequence, without breaks. Switch the machine ON and then switch it OFF again. Press the DELAY button until the buzzer is heard. Switch the machine on again. The "dOF" indicator flashes and then turns OFF.

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.

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 accumulate 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.

UNSUITABLE CROCKERY

Items which are not dishwasher-safe:

• Wooden dishes, pots or pans: these may be damaged by the high washing temperatures.
• Handcrafted items: these are rarely suitable for washing in a dishwasher. The relatively high water temperatures and the detergents used may damage them.
• Plastic dishes: these are not heat resistant and may lose their shape. Heat resistant plastic dishes must be washed in the upper basket.
• Dishes and objects in copper, tin, zinc or brass: these tend to stain.
• Aluminium dishes: items made from anodised aluminium may lose their colour. • Silverware: silver items may stain.
• Glass and crystal: in general, glass and crystal objects can be washed in the dishwasher. However, certain types of glass and crystal may become dull and lose their clearness after many washings. Therefore, for these items we recommend using the least aggressive program available.
• Decorated items: the decorated objects available on the market are generally able to withstand washing in the dishwasher, although the colours may fade after a great many washes. If in doubt as to the fastness of the colours, it is advisable to wash just a few items at a time for approximately one month.

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.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

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.

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.

CHECKING THE WATER SUPPLY HOSE

Check the inlet hose regularly for brittleness and cracks. If damaged, replace it by 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 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).

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 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.

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

WATER SOFTENING SYSTEM

The water softener automatically reduces water hardness, consequently preventing scale buildup on the heater, and also contributing 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 6 Eco cycles with the water hardness level set to 3.

The regeneration process starts in the final rinse and finishes in the drying phase, before the 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.

INSTALLATION

If the appliance must be moved at any time, keep it in an upright position; if absolutely necessary, it may be tilted onto its back.

CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY

Adaptation of the water supply for installation should only be performed by a qualified technician.

The water inlet and outlet hoses may be positioned towards the right or the left in order to achieve the best possible installation.

Make sure the dishwasher does not bend or squash the hoses.

CONNECTING THE WATER INLET HOSE

• Run the water until it is perfectly clear.
• Screw the inlet hose tightly into position and turn on the tap. If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialist store or an authorized technician.

The water pressure must be within the values indicated in the Technical Data table - otherwise the dishwasher may not function properly. Make sure the hose is not bent or compressed.

SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE CONNECTION OF THE WATER SUPPLY HOSE:

WATER SUPPLY cold or hot (max. 6	0°C)
WATER INTAKE 3/4"
POWER OF WATER PRESSURE	0,05 ÷ 1 MPa (0.5 ÷ 10 bar)7,25 – 145 psi

CONNECTING THE WATER OUTLET HOSE

Connect the outlet hose to a drain duct with a minimum diameter of 2 cm A.

The outlet hose connection must be at a height ranging from 40 to 80 cm from the floor or surface where the dishwasher rests.

Before connecting the water outlet hose to the sink drain, remove the plastic plug B.

ANTI-FLOODING PROTECTION

Anti-flooding protection. To ensure floods do not occur, the dishwasher:

- is provided with a special system which blocks the water supply in the event of anomalies or leaks from inside the appliance.

Some models are also equipped with the supplementary safety device New Aqua Stop, which guarantees anti-flooding protection even in the event of a supply hose rupture.

Under no circumstances should the water inlet hose be cut as it contains live electrical parts.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

WARNING: Under no circumstances should the water inlet hose be cut as it contains live electrical parts.

Before inserting the plug into the electrical socket, make sure that:

• The socket is earthed and complies with current regulations;
• The socket can withstand the maximum load of the appliance as shown on the data plate located on the inside of the door (see PRODUCT DESCRIPTION).
• The power supply voltage falls within the values indicated on the data plate on the inside of the door.
• The socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance. If this is not the case, ask an authorised technician to replace the plug (see AFTER-SALES SERVICE). Do not use extension cables or multiple sockets. Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply cable and the electrical socket should be easily accessible.

The cable should not be bent or compressed.

If the power supply cable is damaged, have it replaced by the manufacturer or its authorised Technical Assistance Service in order to prevent all potential hazards.

The Company shall not be held responsible for any incidents, if these regulations are not observed.

POSITIONING AND LEVELLING

1. Position the dishwasher on a level sturdy floor. If the floor is uneven, the front feet of the appliance may be adjusted until it reaches a horizontal position. If the appliance is levelled correctly, it will be more stable and much less likely to move or cause vibrations and noise while it is operating.
2. Before recessing the dishwasher, stick the adhesive transparent strip under the wooden shelf in order to protect it from any condensation which may form.
3. Place the dishwasher so that its sides or back panel are in contact with the adjacent cabinets or the wall. This appliance can also be recessed under a single worktop.
4. To adjust the height of the rear foot, turn the red hexagonal bushing on the lower central part at the front of the dishwasher using a hexagonal spanner with an opening of 8 mm. Turn the spanner in a clockwise direction to increase the height and in an anticlockwise direction to decrease it.
