Loading the racks
Tips
Before loading the racks, remove all food residues from the
crockeryandemptyliquidsfromglassesand containers. No
preventive rinsing is needed under running water.
Arrange the crockery so that it is held in place firmly and does
not tip over; and arrange the containers with the openings facing
downwards and the concave/convex parts placed obliquely,
thus allowing the water to reach every surface and flow freely.
Make sure that the lids, handles, trays and frying pans do not
prevent the sprayer arms from rotating. Place any small items
in the cutlery basket.
Since plastic dishes and non-stick frying pans usually retain more
water drops, their drying will be not so good as that of ceramic
or stainless-steel dishes.
Lightweight items such as plastic containers should be placed
in the upper rack and arranged so that they cannot move.
After loading the appliance, make sure that the sprayer arms
can rotate freely.
Lower rack
The lower rack can hold pans, lids, dishes, salad bowls, cutlery
etc. Large plates and lids should ideally be placed at the sides.
Very soiled dishes and pans should be placed in the lower rack
because in this sector the water sprays are stronger and allow
a higher washing performance.
Several dishwasher models are fitted with tip-up sectors*.
They can be used in a vertical position when arranging dishes
orinahorizontalposition(lower)toloadpansandsaladbowls
easily.
Cutlery basket
The basket is equipped with top grilles for improved cutlery
arrangement. The cutlery basket should be positioned only at
the front of the lower rack
Knives and other utensils with sharp edges must be placed
in the cutlery basket with the points facing downwards or they
mustbepositionedhorizontallyinthetip-upcompartmentson
the upper rack
Upper rack
Load this rack with delicate and lightweight crockery such as
glasses, cups, saucers and shallow salad bowls.
Several dishwasher models are fitted with tip-up sectors*.
They can be used in a vertical position when arranging tea/
dessert saucers or in a lower position to load bowls and food
containers.
*Only available in selected models with different numbers and
positions.

Adjusting the height of the upper rack
In order to make it easier to arrange the crockery, the upper rack
may be moved to a higher or lower position.
The height of the upper rack should be adjusted WHEN THE
RACK IS EMPTY.
NEVER raise or lower the rack on one side only.
IftherackisequippedwithaLift-Up device*
(see figure)
, lift
it up by holding its sides. To restore the lower position, press
the levers (A) at the sides of the rack and follow the rack down.

Start-up and use
*Only available in selected models.
Measuring out the detergent
A good wash result also depends on the correct
amount of detergent being used. Exceeding the stated
amount does not result in a more effective wash and
increases environmental pollution.
Based on how soiled the items are, the amount can be
adjusted to individual cases using powder or liquid
detergent.
In the case of normally soiled items, use approximately
either 35 gr (powder detergent) or 35 ml (liquid detergent).
If tablets are used, one tablet will be enough.
If the crockery is only lightly soiled or if it has been rinsed
with water before being placed in the dishwasher, reduce
the amount of detergent used accordingly.
For good washing results also follow the instructions shown
on the detergent box.
For further questions please ask the detergent producers'
Advice Offices.
To open the detergent dispenser use the opening device “A”.
Introduce the detergent into the dry dispenser “B” only.
Place the amount of detergent for pre-washing directly
inside the tub.
1.WhenmeasuringoutthedetergentrefertotheTableofwash
cyclestoaddtheproperquantity.CompartmentBcomprises
a level showing the maximum quantity of liquid or powder
detergent that can be added to each cycle.
2.Removedetergentresiduesfromtheedgesofthedispenser
and close the cover until it clicks.
3. Close the lid of the detergent dispenser by pulling it up until
the closing device is secured in place.
The detergent dispenser automatically opens up at the right time
according to the wash cycle.
If all-in-one detergents are used, we recommend using the TABS
option,becauseitadjuststhecyclesothatthebestwashing
and drying results are always achieved.
Only use detergent which has been specifically designed
for dishwashers.
DO NOT USE washing-up liquid.
Using excessive detergent may result in foam residue
remaining in the machine after the cycle has ended.
The use of tablets is only recommended for models which
offer the MULTI-FUNCTIONAL TABLETS option.
To achieve the best results from each washing and drying
cycle, powder detergent, liquid rinse aid and salt should
be used.

It is advisable to perform this procedure every time you add
salt to the dispenser.
Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly so that no detergent can
get into the container during the wash cycle (this could damage
the water softener beyond repair).
Whennecessary,measureoutthesaltbeforeawashcycle
so that any saline solution which has leaked out of the salt

Care and maintenance
Shutting off the water and electricity
supplies
• Turnoffthewatertapaftereverywashcycletoavoidleaks.
• Always unplug the appliance when cleaning it and when
performing maintenance work.
Cleaning the dishwasher
• Theexternalsurfacesofthemachineandthecontrolpanel
can be cleaned using a non-abrasive cloth which has been
dampened with water. Do not use solvents or abrasive
products.
• Anymarksontheinsideoftheappliancemayberemoved
using a cloth dampened with water and a little vinegar.
Preventing unpleasant odours
• Alwayskeepthedooroftheapplianceajarinordertoavoid
moisture from forming and being trapped inside the machine.
• Cleanthesealsaroundthedooranddetergentdispensers
regularly using a damp sponge. This will avoid food becoming
trapped in the seals, which is the main cause behind the
formation of unpleasant odours.
Cleaning the sprayer arms
Food residue may become encrusted onto the sprayer arms
and block the holes used to spray the water. It is therefore
recommended that you check the arms from time to time and
clean them with a small non-metallic brush.
The two sprayer arms may both be removed.
To remove the upper sprayer arm,
turn the plastic locking ring in an
anti-clockwise direction. The upper
sprayer arm should be replaced
so that the side with the greater
number of holes is facing upwards.
The lower sprayer arm can be
removed by pressing on the side
tabs and pulling it upwards.
Cleaning the water inlet filter*
If the water hoses are new or have not been used for an extended
period of time, let the water run to make sure it is clear and free
of impurities before performing the necessary connections. If this
precaution is not taken, the water inlet could become blocked
and damage the dishwasher.
Clean the water inlet filter at the tap outlet regularly.
- Turn off the water tap.
- Unscrew the end of the water inlet hose, remove the filter and
clean it carefully under running water.
-Re-placethefilterandscrewthewaterhosebackintoposition.
Cleaning the filters
The filter assembly consists of three filters which remove food
residues from the washing water and then recirculate the water.
They should be cleaned if you wish to achieve the best results
in every wash.
Clean the filters regularly.
The dishwasher should not be used without filters or if the
filter is loose.
