User instructions TO SAVE ON ENERGY! … AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT Always try to run the dishwasher fully loaded. 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. If available, connect the dishwasher to a hot water supply up to 60°C. TO CUT DOWN ON DETERGENT CONSUMPTION! … AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT The phosphates contained in dishwasher detergents are harmful to the environment.
User instructions 4. Operating instructions Once the dishwasher has been correctly installed, prepare for use as follows: 4.1 Adjust the water softening system (on some models only); Add the regenerating salt (on some models only); Add the rinse aid and detergent. Using the water softening system (on some models only) 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 DETERGENT To open the detergent dispenser cover, lightly press button P. Add the detergent or tablet and close the cover by sliding it until it stops, indicated by a click. The dispenser will open automatically during the wash cycle.
User instructions 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. The detergent packs must be sealed and stored in a dry place to prevent the formation of lumps which may negatively affect washing results. Once opened the detergent packs should not be kept for too long, otherwise the detergent loses its effectiveness.
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 15 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 Supports for cups and long objects (ladles, spoons, etc.), in the rear; can be tipped to the vertical position when not in use. Glass holder. Support for longstem glasses. When lifted out of the stowed position (0) it snaps into three different positions (1-2-3). 2-position fold-down supports (1-2). In position 1 (vertical) they can be used to take plates, while in position 2 (slanted) they provide support for long-stem glasses which will be held in place by the glass holder.
User instructions To lie completely flat, lift the end and turn it towards you so that the retainer F rotates into place above point S. 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 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. If the upper basket is used in the lowermost position, it can also be loaded with serving dishes, provided they are only lightly soiled. LOADING THE UPPER BASKET Load plates facing forward; cups, bowls etc. must always be facing downwards.
User instructions CUTLERY BASKET The basket is suitable for all types of cutlery, except long items that may interfere with the upper spray arm. The cutlery should be arranged in the spaces in the upper racks to allow the water to pass effectively between the items. Forks and spoons should be positioned with the handle facing downwards, taking care not to injure yourself with the prongs of the forks.
User instructions TOP CUTLERY BASKET (on some models only) The basket is designed to take cutlery, placed in the spaces provided, and long utensils, positioned lengthwise. The “drawer” extraction system makes the basket easier to load, but it can also be taken completely off its runners by removing the retainers (as shown here). Take great care to replace the retainers to ensure that the basket does not come off the runners accidentally.
User instructions Fold-down shelves For mugs, cups and long objects. The ends are designed to hold long stemmed glasses When not used they can be moved to a vertical position (until a click is heard). Shelves with expandable wings For small objects, mugs and cups. They can be used either closed or open (pull the upper, sliding part). To close them, press the release device (S) and slide them downwards. The ends are designed to hold long stemmed glasses (even when closed).
User instructions Fold-down tines These can be secured in a vertical position, resting on the bottom of the basket if unused, or placed in an intermediate position, as required. The single tine on the right is ideal for supporting long stemmed glasses.
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 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 Only for models with this lock version. If the door does not close: 1 - Check the position of the door lock catch (D) 2 - If necessary, raise it by adjusting the plastic screw (V) next to the catch. 3 - Check the condition of the lock hook; if it has not triggered (reference N), the door opens and closes normally. If it has triggered (reference S), close the door with force until it resets; open and close the door.
