User instructions SPREAD HALF LOAD Suitable when there are not many dishes to be washed, it saves energy and reduces the program duration. Spread dishes across both baskets; the detergent dispenser should be loaded with less than the normal amount for a full load. ENERSAVE Allows energy consumption to be further reduced by opening the door automatically for better drying at the end of the wash cycle, ensuring optimal drying with lower rinsing temperatures and thus providing significant energy saving.
User instructions These products are not suitable for use with excessively “hard” water. If the hardness level set is higher than H3, when the option is activated the relative light flashes to indicate that the product is being used incorrectly; the dishwasher will still work, but washing results may be poor.

User instructions 2. Operating instructions Once the dishwasher has been correctly installed, prepare it for use as follows: • Adjust the water softening system • Add salt • Add rinse aid and detergent 2.1 Using the water softening system The dishwasher is equipped with an automatic softening system which uses a special regenerating salt to reduce the hardness of the water, responsible for whitish marks on dry dishes The dishwasher is factory set for water hardness level 3 (average hardness).
User instructions • Do not use table salt, as it contains insoluble substances which, over time, may damage the water softening system. • The salt container should be refilled before starting the wash program. This way, the excess saline solution will be immediately removed by the water; prolonged presence of salt water inside the tank may lead to corrosion. Be careful not to confuse the salt and detergent packages; adding detergent to the salt container will damage the water softening system.

There are generally no constraints on washing of domestic dishes, but in certain cases it is necessary to take their characteristics into account.
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 wash cycle. Do not place very small objects in the baskets as these could fall and obstruct the spray arms or the 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.

In some models the bottom basket is fitted with racks which can be lowered to make better use of the space available.
User instructions BOTTOM BASKET INSERTS Some models are equipped with bottom basket inserts which improve the drying of dishes. The inserts are supplied in the accessories bag; to use them, simply fit them into place as shown.

User instructions UPPER BASKET It is recommended to load the upper basket with small or medium-sized items such as glasses, small plates and saucers, 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 lightly soiled.
