User instructions 3.3 Washing programs The dishwasher is equipped with a control panel and an INFORMATION DISPLAY (8), described in chapter "1. Description of the controls", from which it is possible to carry out all the power switch-on, switch-off and programming operations. Before starting a washing program make sure that: • The water supply tap is open. • The correct amount of detergent has been added to the dispenser. • The baskets have been correctly loaded.
User instructions HALF-LOAD FUNCTION (available in all programs except the soak program) This function is recommended for loads of up to 7 place-settings, and cuts down on the use of water and electricity.
User instructions DELAYING THE PROGRAM (available in all programs except the soak program) The PROGRAM DELAY button (4) can be pressed to delay the start of the washing program by up to 12 hours. This means that the dishwasher can be operated at the time of day of your choice. Press the PROGRAM DELAY button (4) again; the INFORMATION DISPLAY (8) will show the number of hours of delay with which the appliance will start.
User instructions "3/1" OPTION BUTTON (available in all programs except the soak program) By pressing the button (6) you activate the "3/1" option, confirmed when the relative light comes on.
User instructions STARTING THE DISHWASHER After correctly carrying out all the preceding operations, to start the dishwasher simply press the START/PAUSE button (3) for a few seconds, until the start cycle acoustic device sounds. The INFORMATION DISPLAY (8) will show the duration of the program in minutes. The duration time is only approximate, because it depends on the washing conditions (quantity of dishes, water temperature, etc.), and is also continually updated as the washing program progresses.
User instructions 4. Operating instructions Once the dishwasher has been correctly installed, prepare for use as follows: • • • Adjust the water softening system; Add the regenerating salt; Add the rinse aid and detergent. 4.1 Using the water softening system The amount of scale contained in the water (water hardness index) can cause whitish staining on the dry dishes, which tend to become dull over time.
User instructions • Do not use table salt as it contains insoluble substances which, over time, may damage the water softening system. • When necessary, refill the regenerating salt container before starting the washing program. In this way, the excess saline solution will be immediately removed by the water; the prolonged presence of salt water inside the tank may lead to corrosion.

User instructions ADDING THE RINSE AID The rinse aid helps the dishes dry faster and prevents the formation of scale deposits and staining; it is automatically added to the water during the final rinse cycle, from the container situated on the inner side of the door. To add rinse aid: • Open the door. • Rotate the container cap anticlockwise by ¼ of a turn and remove it. • Add the rinse aid until the container is full (approximately 140 cc).
User instructions ADDING THE DETERGENT To open the detergent dispenser cap, lightly press the button P. Add the detergent and close the cap carefully. During the washing cycle, the dispenser will be opened automatically. • • • • • • When a program with hot prewash is selected (see program table), extra detergent must be placed in the cavity G/H (depending on models). Use only detergents specially formulated for dishwashers. For optimal washing results it is important to use a good quality detergent.
User instructions • "3/1" Products If you wish to use detergents which already contain salt and rinse aid, check whether your dishwasher is fitted with the "3/1 option button" on the "Controls description" page and then refer to the section which explains how to use this function.
User instructions WARNING! • • • • • Make sure that the dishes are securely in place so that they cannot tip over or obstruct the rotation of the spray arms during the washing cycle. Do not place very small objects in the baskets as these could fall and obstruct the spray arms or the wash pump. Containers such as cups, bowls, glasses and pots should always be loaded with the opening facing downwards and with any cavities at an angle, to allow the water to drain out.
User instructions 4.4 Using the baskets The dishwasher has a capacity of 14 place-settings, including serving dishes. LOWER BASKET The lower basket receives the full force of the lower spray arm, and should therefore be used for the “toughest” items with a heavier degree of soiling. All types and combinations of loads are permitted, provided that the dishes, pots and pans are arranged with all the soiled surfaces exposed to the water jets coming from the bottom.
User instructions In the front there are one or two supports (depending on the models) for small plates (B). To use them, they have to be turned towards the front of the dishwasher. LOADING THE LOWER BASKET Carefully load flat plates, soup plates, dessert and serving dishes, positioning them vertically. Pots, pans and their covers must be loaded upside down. When loading soup plates and dessert bowls, be sure to leave a gap between them.
User instructions CUTLERY BASKET Cutlery must be placed with the tips facing downward. Long items of cutlery (ladles, wooden spoons, kitchen knives, etc.), which might interfere with the upper spray arm must be placed in the upper basket, ensuring that knife tips do not project from the basket. The cutlery basket features an exclusive system of independent sliding tip-up supports, offering a series of combinations to allow optimum use of the space available.
User instructions UPPER BASKET It is recommended to load the upper basket with small- or medium-sized items such as glasses, small plates, tea or coffee cups, shallow bowls and light objects made from heat resistant plastic. If the upper basket is used in the lowermost position, it can also be loaded with serving dishes, provided they are only slightly soiled. LOADING THE UPPER BASKET Load plates facing forward; cups, bowls etc. must always be facing downwards.
User instructions Depending on the models, the basket may be equipped with some or all of the following accessories: Supports for cups or long objects (ladles, spoons…), on the left; can be tipped to the vertical position when not in use. Long-stemmed glass holder, on the left; to use, simply lift and fix onto the hooks provided. Cutlery racks, on the right, designed for knives and teaspoons; for teaspoons, pull out the sliding support. The racks can be tipped to the vertical position when not in use.
User instructions ADJUSTING THE UPPER BASKET Version A: the upper basket can be adjusted in two positions, according to the user’s needs and according to the height of the dishes in the lower basket. Proceed as follows: • • • • • pull out the right-hand basket guide; remove the stop, first releasing it as shown in the diagram; push the guide to free the wheels; fit the upper or lower pair of wheels into the guide, depending on the setting required; return the stop to its original position.
User instructions Version C: the top basket can be set in three different positions on both sides. The rack must be level on both sides. To raise the basket lift it, pulling on the front edge (1), to the first or second catch depending on the height required. To lower it, pull the release lever (2). This is also possible with the basket loaded, but in this case when lowering the basket it should be held steady with one hand to avoid knocking the dishes.
User instructions 5. Cleaning and maintenance Before carrying out any work, always unplug the appliance from the electrical supply or switch off the all-pole disconnection device. 5.1 General warnings and recommendations Avoid the use of acidic or abrasive detergents. Clean the outer surfaces and door-lining of the dishwasher regularly using a soft cloth moistened with water or with a normal detergent suitable for painted surfaces. Clean the door gaskets with a damp sponge.
User instructions CLEANING THE FILTER UNIT • • • • It is advisable to periodically inspect the centre filter C and, if necessary, to clean it. To remove the filter, grip the tabs, turn them anticlockwise and lift upwards; push the centre filter D from the underside to remove it from the micro-filter: separate the two parts which make up the plastic filter by pressing the body of the filter in the zone shown by the arrows; remove the centre filter by lifting it upwards.
User instructions BEFORE STARTING THE DISHWASHER AFTER PROLONGED DISUSE: • • • Check that there are no deposits of sludge or rust inside the water pipe: if there are, allow the water to run from the water supply tap for a few minutes. Plug the power cord back into the socket. Reconnect the water intake hose and open the tap again.
User instructions If the dishes fail to dry or remain dull, check that: • • • there is rinse aid inside the special container; the rinse aid dispenser setting is correct; the detergent used is of good quality and has not lost its effectiveness (for example, through incorrect storage, with the box left open). If the dishes show signs of streaking, staining, etc., check that: • the rinse aid dispenser setting is not too high.
