1 INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing one of our products. To use this dishwasher cor-
rectly and safely, please read this manual carefully. The manual is divided
into sections giving you a step-by-step guide to all your appliance’s func-
tions. The texts are easy to understand and are complete with detailed
illustrations. Following the cleaning instructions provided here will keep
dishwasher performance at peak levels in the long term. This user-friendly
manual will provide answers to all your questions about use of the dish-
washer.
This manual comprises the following sections:
INTRODUCTION: general information about the manual.
WARNINGS: a list of warnings concerning safety and use of the dishwash-
er.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: for the qualied technician who must
carry out the installation, hook-up and testing of the appliance.
USER INSTRUCTIONS: useful advice is provided for the use of racks, spray
arms, containers and lters.
Nomenclature of gures and tables:
The progressive number of each gure is shown in the bottom right-hand
corner of the relative box. An example of a progressive number is “Fig.
4-01”, where the rst number (4) indicates the section to which the gure
belongs, while the second number (01) indicates the progressive number
of the gure in section 4 (Fig. 4-01 is the rst gure in section 4). The tables
are numbered in the same way, bearing in mind that “Tab.” is used instead
of “Fig.” (e.g.: Tab. 4-01 is the rst table in section 4). If a table occupies
more than one page, a letter is added after the progressive number (e.g.:
“Tab. 4-01a”, Tab. 4-01b”).

4 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE STARTING TO USE THE APPLIANCE,MAKE SURE YOU HAVE READ
AND UNDERSTOOD ALL THE WARNINGS CONTAINED IN CHAPTER2 “IM
PORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTION”.
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.•

USER INSTRUCTIONS
EN
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. The dish-
washer is equipped with an automatic softening system which uses a special re-
generating salt to reduce the hardness of the water. The dishwasher is factory set
for water hardness level 3 (average hardness 41-60°dF – 24-31°dH / 23.6-35 gpg).
When using water of medium hardness, the regenerating salt container should
be relled after approximately 20 washing cycles. The salt container can hold ap-
proximately 1.7 Kg (3.75 lb) of salt in grains. Some models are equipped with an
optical no-salt indicator. In these models, the cap of the salt container contains
a green oat which descends as the salt concentration in the water drops. When
the green oat can no longer be seen, the container must be topped up with
regenerating salt. The container is situated at the bottom of the dishwasher. After
removing the lower rack, unscrew the salt container cap (ref. A g. 4-01) by turn-
ing it anticlockwise and pour in the salt using the funnel (ref. A g. 4-02) supplied
with the dishwasher. Before replacing the cap (ref. A g. 4-01), remove any salt
residues from around the opening.

USER INSTRUCTIONS EN
A
When using the dishwasher for the rst time, in addition to the salt it is also•
necessary to add one liter of water to the container.
Each time the salt container is relled, make sure that• the cap (ref. A g. 4-01)
is securely closed. The mixture of water and detergent must never penetrate
the salt container, as this would compromise the operation of the regeneration
system. In the event of this occurring, the warranty will be invalidated.
Only use regenerating salt specially formulated for domestic dishwashers. If•
using salt tablets, do not ll the container completely.
• Do not use table salt as it contains insoluble substances which, over time, may
damage the water softening system.
When necessary, rell 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.
BE CAREFUL NOT TO CONFUSE THE SALT AND DETERGENT PACK
AGES; ADDING DETERGENT TO THE SALT CONTAINER WILL DAMAGE
THE WATER SOFTENING SYSTEM.
