Salt  
Adjusting Salt Consumption  
The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard  
water is used in the dishwasher, deposits will form on the dishes  
and utensils.  
The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjusting the amount of  
salt consumed based on the hardness of the water used. This is  
intended to optimise and customise the level of salt consumption  
so that it remains at a minimum. Your local Water Board can  
supply the degree of hardness of the water in your area.  
The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses a salt  
specifically designed to eliminate lime and minerals from the water.  
Loading the Salt into the Softener  
Always use salt intended for use with dishwashers.  
The salt container is located beneath the lower rack and should  
be filled as follows:  
- Remove the lower rack and then unscrew and remove the cap  
from the salt container;  
- If you are filling the container for the first time, fill it with water;  
- Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and intro-  
duce about 2 kg of salt. It is normal for a small amount of water  
to come out of the salt container.  
- Carefully screw the cap back on.  
To adjust salt consumption, proceed as follows:  
- Unscrew the cap from the salt container;  
- There is a ring on the container with an arrow on it (see figure to  
the side), If necessary, rotate the ring in the anticlockwise  
direction from the "-" setting towards the "+" sign, based on the  
hardness of the water being used.  
It is recommended that adjustments be made in accordance with  
the following scheme:

Detergent and Rinse Aidꢀ  
Detergent  
Rinse Aid  
Detergent specifically intended for use with dishwashers must  
be used. The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each  
wash cycle following the instructions provided in the "Wash Cycle  
Table." The detergent dispenser is located on the inside panel of  
the door.  
This product makes dishes sparkle and helps them to dry with-  
out spotting. The dispenser is located on the inside panel of the  
door and should be filled after every 80 wash cycles (or when  
the rinse aid indicator light comes on for those models with this  
feature).  
Loading the detergent  
Loading the Rinse Aid  
To open the "A" cover on the dispenser,press the "B" button.  
The detergent for the wash cycle should be poured into the "C"  
compartment.  
To open the dispenser, turn the "C" cap in the anti-clockwise  
direction and then pour in the rinse aid, making sure you do not  
overfill. The amount of rinse aid used for each cycle can be regu-  
lated by turning the "F" dose adjustor, located beneath the "C"  
cap, with a screwdriver. There are 6 different settings; the nor-  
mal dosage setting is 3.  
After the detergent has been placed in the dispenser, close the  
cover and press down until it clicks in place.  
Important  
C
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.  
If the dishes have white streaks, turn the dosage adjustor to a  
lower setting.

Loading the Dishwasher  
Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove large food  
particles to prevent the filter from becoming clogged, which re-  
sults in reduced performance.  
Lower Rack  
Upper Rack  
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 rack to facilitate loading the dishwasher.  
How to Use the Lower Rack  
We recommend that you place the most difficult to clean items on  
the lower rack: pots, lids, serving dishes and bowls, as shown in  
the figure on the right.  
Load for 12 Standard Settings  
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 face down.  
- Deep pots should be slanted to allow the water to flow out.  
- The silverware basket can be doubled (see Fig. A) so that only  
one section may be used when the silverware load is light. This  
also makes space for additional pots and pans, and it can also  
be placed in the upper rack.  
- Silverware should be placed in the silverware basket with the  
handles at the bottom; if the rack has side baskets, the spoons  
should be located individually into the appropriate slots.  
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.

Turning on the Appliance  
Starting a wash cycle  
Setting the Wash Cycle with a Delayed Start Time  
After having completed all of the installation steps in the preced-  
ing paragraphs, turn on the water all the way and press the ON-  
OFF button (A) located on the control panel. The "B" indicator  
light will come on. At this point, the appliance is on but you must  
wait a few seconds before programming the setting for the cycle.  
Premise: After selecting the wash cycle as indicated in the para-  
graph entitled, "Setting and Starting a Wash Cycle..." the delay  
time can be set.  
Setting and Starting a wash Cycle  
Select the desired cycle by pressing the selector button (G). Each  
time the button is pressed, one of the "H" cycle indicator lights will  
come on in succession. Choose the wash cycle you feel is most  
appropriate for the type of dishes that need washing (consult the  
wash cycle table contained in this manual, especially when first  
using the appliance).  
By pressing the "E" button (see close-up view-'Control panel")  
the start of wash cycle can be delayed for between 1 to 9 hours.  
Each time the button is pressed, the display (F) will show the  
number of hours for the delay period. Choose the amount of  
time desired. When the appliance is started with "I" button, a short  
acoustic signal will sound and the delay time on the display will  
blink, indicating that the countdown has begun.  
Press the Start/Pause button (I), and after a few seconds a short  
acoustic sound will indicate that the wash cycle has begun and  
can no longer be changed. If necessary, read the paragraph en-  
titled" Cancelling or modifying a cycle while underway..."  
After the time has lapsed, the cycle will start.  
Cancelling or modifying a cycle while underway  
Premise : A cycle that is underway can only be modified if it has  
only been running for a short time. Otherwise, the detergent may  
have already been used, and the appliance mayhave already  
drained the wash water. If this is the case, the detergent dis-  
penser must be refilled (see the paragraph entitled, "Loading  
the Detergent").  
NOTE:  
a) During the delay period, it is preferable not to change any of  
the settings. If it is necessary, all of the settings must be cancelled  
by pressing the ON-OFF button (A) to indicate that all of the set-  
tings have been cancelled.  
At this point, all of the steps for "Setting the Wash Cycle with a  
delayed Start Time" and "setting and Starting a Wash Cycle" must  
be repeated, following the instructions contained in the correspond-  
ing sections.  
To modify a cycle that is already underway, press the ON-OFF  
button (A), then all of the settings will be cancelled.  
b) If the door is opened during the delay period, the indicator will  
blink and acoustic signal will sound, and the countdown will stop.  
It will begin again when the door is closed .  
If you forget to load some of the dishes  
The wash cycle can be interrupted by pressing the Start/Pause  
button. You can then load additional dishes and turn the appli-  
ance back on. The cycle will start where it left off.  
Wash cycle Programme Light  
Wash Cycle adjustment Buttons  
The wash cycle is running and the cycle indicator light (H) for the  
cycle will begin to blink.  
1/2 load Button  
This button (see "close-up View - Control Panel", letter "C") make  
it possible to wash dishes using only the upper rack if there are  
not enough dishes for a full load. This will allow you to save on  
water and eletrical energy. It can be used before setting any of  
the wash cycles, except for the intensive cycle (if included in the  
wash cycle table). Please keep in mind that the amount of deter-  
gent should also be cut in half.  
At the end of the wash cycle  
Six acoustic signal will indicate that the wash cycle has finished  
and the cycle indicator light (H) for the cycle will begin to die out.  
Turn off the appliance using the ON-OFF button. Turn off the  
water supply to the appliance and open the door. Wait a few  
minutes before unloading the dishwasher to avoid handling the  
dishes and utensils while they are still hot and more susceptible  
to breakage. They will also dry better.

Energy Saving Tips  
- Use the right amount of detergent: if you use too much detergent,  
the result will not be cleaner dishes, but a greater negative im-  
pact on the enviroment.  
- It is important to try and run the dishwasher when it is fully  
loaded to save on energy. In order to prevent odours from  
forming and food from caking onto the dishes,you can run  
the hold cycle.  
- There is no untility in rinsing dishes, cookware and untensils  
before placing them in the dishwasher.  
- 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.

Cleaning and Special Maintenance  
Filter Assembly  
For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be  
cleaned.  
The filter efficiently removes food particles from the wash water,  
allowing it to be recirculated during the cycle. For this reason, it  
is a good idea to remove the larger food particles trapped in the  
filter after each wash cycle by rinsing the "A" semi-circular filter  
and cup under running water. To remove the filter assembly, pull  
on the cup handle in the upward direction. The entire filter as-  
sembly (made up of the "A" semicircular filter and the "B" fine  
filter) should be cleaned at least once a month. To clean the filter  
and the fine filter, use a cleaning brush. Then, reassemble the  
filter parts as shown in the figures below and reinsert the entire  
assembly in the dishwasher, positioning in its seat and pressing  
downward.  
Cleaning the Spray Arms  
It may happen that food particles become encrusted on the  
sprayer arms and block the hole (see "Close up view [interior]",  
letters C-F ). Check the sprayer arms periodically and clean them  
when needed.

B
The dishwasher must not be used without the filters.Improper  
replacement of the filters may reduce level of the appliance and  
damage dishes and utensils.  
Troubleshooting  
It may occur that the dishwasher does not function or does not  
function properly. Before calling for assistance, Iet us see what  
can be done first: have you forgotten to press one of the buttons  
or to perfom an essential operation?  
The Dishes Are Not Clean  
Have you checked whether:  
- the water is turned on and the hose is connected properly;  
- the water supply to the house on and has sufficient pressure;  
- the water supply hose is crimped or bent;  
- the filter for the water supply hose is clogged.  
The Dishwasher Does Not Start  
Have you checked whether:  
The Dishwasher Does Not Drain  
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 drain hose is crimped or bent.  
Lime Deposits or a White Film Form on the Dishes  
Have you checked whether:  
- the ON-OFF switch is on "ON";  
- the water supply is turned on.  
- the lid to the salt container is closed properly;  
- the rinse aid dosage is correct.  
The Dishwasher Does Not Load Water  
Have you checked whether:  
If,despite all these checks, the dishwasher still does not function  
and/or the problem persists, contact the nearest authorised ser-  
vice centre and provide them with the following information:  
- the nature of the problem;  
- the water is turned on and the hose is connected properly;  
- the water supply to the houses on and has sufficient pressure;  
- the water supply hose is crimped or bent;  
- 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.  
- the filter for the water supply hose is clogged.  
Never call on unauthorised technicians and allow the  
parts which are not original spare parts to be installed .

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 on the right or the left to  
facilitate proper installation.  
fig.A  
Levelling the Appliance  
Once the appliance is positioned, adjust the feet (screw them in  
or out) to level the dishwasher. In any case, the appliance should  
not be inclined more than 2. If the appliance is level, it will help  
ensure proper performance.  
fig.B  
Cold Water Connection  
Connect the cold water supply hose to a threaded 3/4 (gas)  
connector, making sure that it is fastened tightly in place (see fig  
.A).  
Drain Hose Connection  
Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe with a minimum diameter  
of 4cm, or let it run into the sink, making sure to avoid bending  
or crimping it. Use the special plastic support that comes with  
the appliance (see Fig.C). The free end of the hose must be at  
a height between 40 and 100 cm and must not be immersed in  
water.  
Some models are fitted with an “Aquastop” water wupply hose  
(see fig.B) in which the small filter is already housed in the  
threaded end.  
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.  
Fig.C  
The connection must be made to the hot water line following the  
same procedures as those for the connection to the cold water  
line.  
Attention:  
The special plastic hose support must be solidly fastened to the  
wall to prevent the drain hose from moving and allowing water  
to spill outside the drain.  
Anti-Flooding Protection  
The dishwasher is equipped with a system that stops the supply of  
water in the event of a problem with the water supply hose, or Electrical Connection  
leaks within the unit, in order to prevent damage to your home. If  
for any reason the box containing the electrical components hap-  
pens to get damaged, remove the plug for the appliance from the  
socket immediately. In order to guarantee that the anti-flooding  
feature operates properly, the "A" box with water supply hose must  
be attached to the water supply tap as shown in Fig.1. No other  
type of connection is acceptable. The water supply hose must not,  
under any circumstances, be cut, as it contains electrical parts  
which are live. If the length of the hose is not adequate to make a  
proper connection, the hose must be replaced with one which is  
long enough. This hose is available upon request from specialised  
retailers and service centres.  
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.
