User instructions Before starting a washing program make sure that: The water supply tap is open. The softener container contains regenerating salt. The correct amount of detergent has been added to the dispenser. The baskets have been correctly loaded. The spray arms are able to rotate freely and without obstruction. The dishwasher door is securely closed.
User instructions OPTION SELECTION Options are selected by pressing the relative button by the symbol of the option required; the light comes on to confirm that the option has been activated. It is not possible to select any options when the soak program is being used. All options except "Flexi Tabs" are disabled at the end of the wash cycle. To disable the “Flexi Tabs” option, press the relative button (the light goes out).
User instructions Enersave is activated automatically if the selected program is compatible with the option. It can be deactivated before the program is started. When the function is activated, opening of the door must not be impeded in any way; do not leave anything in the necessary space in front of the door to allow it to open. Do not force the door lock before the end of the cycle is signalled, as this would damage the mechanism.
User instructions For further information, refer to the detergent pack. IMPORTANT: when no longer required, the option must be deactivated by pressing the relative button (the light goes out). 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 CHANGING THE PROGRAM To change the program in progress, simply open the door and select a new program. When the door is closed the dishwasher will automatically select the new program. TO SAVE ON ENERGY! … AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT Always use the dishwasher with a full load. Do not wash the dishes in running water. Use the washing program that is most appropriate for each type of load. Do not carry out any preliminary rinsing.
User instructions SWITCHING OFF At the end of the program the beeper sounds briefly and the lights of programs no. 4 and 5 (marked "end") flash. To switch off the dishwasher, open the door and press the ON/OFF button (1). ENERGY MANAGEMENT After 5 minutes of waiting (washing cycle completed, stopped or set but not started) the dishwasher switches to a standby state to reduce energy consumption.
User instructions 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. The dishwasher is equipped with an automatic softening system which uses a special regenerating salt to reduce the hardness of the water. The dishwasher is factory set for water hardness level 3 (average hardness). When using water of medium hardness, the regenerating salt container should be refilled after approximately 20 washing cycles.
User instructions Be careful not to confuse the salt and detergent packages; adding detergent to the salt container will damage the water softening system. ADJUSTING THE WATER SOFTENING SYSTEM The dishwasher is equipped with a device which allows the softener setting to be varied to suit the hardness of the mains water. The hardness is set using the PROGRAM SELECTION BUTTON (3). To access the setting function, hold the button down for more than 15 seconds.

User instructions 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). The optical level indicator on the side of the cap should be completely obscured. Refill the rinse aid when the optical level indicator becomes clear again, or when the rinse aid warning light illuminates. Replace the cover and turn it in a clockwise direction.
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 The introduction of detergent into the rinse aid dispenser, even in liquid form, will damage the dishwasher. 4.3 General warnings and recommendations Before using the dishwasher for the first time, it is advisable to read the following recommendations concerning dish types to be washed and their loading. There are generally no constraints on the 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 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 13 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 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. Loading examples: UPPER BASKET The upper basket should be loaded with small or medium-sized items such as glasses, small plates and saucers, tea or coffee cups, shallow bowls and light objects.
User instructions CUTLERY BASKET The basket has removable top grids into which items of cutlery should be inserted to keep them properly spaced and allow water to pass between them effectively. The top grids and central lid are in the bag of accessories. The central lid functions as a lid only. The top grids can be detached and used separately. The cutlery should be arranged in an orderly manner inside the basket, with the handles pointing downwards.
User instructions EXAMPLES OF LOADING FOR INTENSIVE DIRT If the bottom basket inserts are of the fold-down type, they should be laid flat for easier loading.
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 The height of the top basket can be adjusted to allow large dishes or pans to be placed in the bottom basket. The adjustment procedure may be type A or B, depending on the dishwasher model purchased. Version A: pull-out with adjustment in two positions. Pull out both the basket guides. Remove the stops, first releasing them as shown in the diagram. Pull out the basket.
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 reassembly, check that the spray arms turn freely. Otherwise, check that they have been installed correctly.
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 microfilter: 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). Non-dry synthetic dishes. Synthetic material has a lower heat storage capacity and is therefore harder to dry. If the dishes show signs of streaking, staining, etc.
User instructions 6.
