Salt ......
Salt
The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If
hard water is used in the dishwasher, deposits will form on
the dishes and utensils.
The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses
a salt specifically designed to eliminate lime and minerals
from the water.
Loading the Salt into the Softener
Always use salt intended for use with dishwashers.
The salt container is
locatedbeneaththelower
rack and should be filled
as follows:
1. Remove the lower rack
and then unscrew and
remove the cap from the
salt container;
2. If you are filling the
containerfor the firsttime,
fill it with water;
3. Place the end of the
funnel (supplied) into the
hole and introduce about 2 kg of salt. It is normal for a
small amount of water to come out of the salt container.
4. Carefully screw the cap back on.
The salt container should be filled after about every
30 wash cycles.
Warning: To prevent rust from forming, we advise you to
load the salt before starting a wash cycle.
Adjusting Salt Consumption
Thedishwasher is designedtoallow for adjustingtheamount
of salt consumed based on the
harness of the water used. This
isintended to optimize andcus-
tomizethe level ofsaltconsump-
tion so that it remains at a
minimum.
Your Local Water Board can
supplythe degree of hardness of
thewater
in your area.
Toadjustsalt consumption, pro-
ceed as follows:
1) Unscrew the cap from the salt container.
2) There is a ring on the container with an arrow on it (see
figure to the side), if necessary, rotate the ring in the anti-
clockwise direction from the "_" setting towards the "+"
sign, based on the hardness of the water being used.
It is recommended that adjustments be made in accord-
ance with the following schema:

Loading the Dishwasher
Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove the
larger food particles to prevent the filter from becoming
clogged, which results in reduced performance.
Ifthe pots and panshave baked-on food thatis extremely
hard to remove, we recommend that they be allowed to
soak before they are washed. This will eliminate the need
for extra wash cycles.
Pull out the racks to facilitate loading the dishwasher.
How to Use the Lower Rack
We recommend that you place the most difficult to clean
items on the bottom rack: pots, pans, lids, serving dishes
and bowls, as shown in the figure to the right.
It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the
sides of the racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation
of the top spray arm.
- Pots, serving bowls, etc. must always be placed top
down.
- Deep pots should be slanted to allow the water to flow
out.
- Silverware should be placed in the silverware basket.
This basket is equipped with two removable grids: insert
the cutlery one by one into the slots; knives and utensils
with sharp blades or tips should be positioned with the
sharppartsatthebottom. Position all cutlery items so that
they don't touch (see figure A).
-Especially long utensils should be placed in the horizon-
tal position at the front of the upper rack.
How to Use the Upper Rack
The upper rack is designed to hold more delicate and
lighter dishware, such as glasses, coffee and tea cups
and saucers, as well as plates, small bowls and shallow
pans (as long as they are not too dirty).
- Position the dishes and cookware so that they do not
get moved by the spray of water.
How to adjust the Upper rack ...
The top rack can be adjusted using the two rack heights
(top and bottom). To adjust the rack, open up the tabs
that lock the guides and pull out the rack. Arrange the
rack with the back wheels in either the top or bottom
position and then insert it along the guides until the front
wheels are on as well. Close the tabs to lock the rack in
place (see Fig. F).

Energy Saving Tips
-Itis important to try and runthedishwasher when it is fully
loaded in order to save on energy. In order to prevent odors
from forming and food from caking onto the dishes, you
can run the hold cycle.
- Choose the right wash cycle: the choice of cycle depends
on the type of dishware, cookware and utensils being
washed and how dirty they are.
- Use the right amount of detergent: if you use too much
detergent, the result will not be cleaner dishes, but, rather,
a greater negative impact on the environment.
- There is no utility in rinsing dishes, cookware and utensils
before placing them in the dishwasher.
How to Keep Your Dishwasher in Shape
After Every Wash
Afterevery wash, turn offthe water supply tothe appliance
and leave the door slightly ajar so that moisture and odors
are not trapped inside.
Remove the Plug
Beforecleaningor performing maintenance, always remove
the plug from the socket. Do not run risks.
No Solvents or Abrasive Cleaning Products
Toclean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher,do
not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. Rather, use
only a cloth and warm soapy water.
To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior,
use a cloth dampened with water and a little white vinegar,
or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.
When You Go on Holiday
When you go on holiday, it is recommended that you run a
wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and then remove
the plug from the socket, turn off the water supply and
leave the door of the appliance slightly ajar. This will help
theseals last longer and prevent odors fromforming within
the appliance.
Moving the Appliance
If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in the vertical
position. If absolutely necessary, it can be positioned on its
back.
Seals
Oneof the factorsthatcauseodors to forminthedishwasher
is food that remains trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning
with a damp sponge will prevent this from occuring.

Cleaning and Special Maintenance
The filter assembly
If you want consistent good
resultsfromyourdishwasher,
you need to clean the filter
assembly.
The food particles are
removed from the wash
water, allowing it to be
recirculatedduringthecycle,
filtered perfectly. For this
reason, it is a good idea to
remove the larger food
particles trapped inside the
semi-circularfilterAandcup
“C”after each wash; to
remove the filter assembly, pull the cup handle upwards. All
you need to do is rinse them under running water.
Theentirefilterassemblyshouldbe cleanedthoroughlyoncea
month: semi-circular filter A + cup C + cylindrical filter B+
microfilterD.
To remove filter “B”, turn it anti-clockwise. Use a small non-
metallic brush for cleaning.
Reassemblethefilterparts(asshowninthefigure)and reinsert
the whole assembly into the dishwasher. Position it into its
housingandpressdownwards.
The dishwasher is not to be used
withoutfilters.Improperreplacementofthe filtersmayreduce
theefficiencyof thewash and even damage yourdishwasher.
Cleaning the Sprayer Arms
It may happen that food particles become encrusted on the
sprayer arms and block the holes. Check the sprayer arms
periodically and clean them when needed (see “Close-up
View [interior]”, letters F-I).
Cleaning the Water Inlet Filter
Periodically clean the water inlet filter (see figure 2 under
"Installation")locatedon the outlet of the water supply tap.
Afterturning off the watertap,unscrewthe end of thewater
supply hose, remove the filter and clean it carefully under
runningwater. Then, returnthe filter to its place and tighten
the water supply hose back into position.
Troubleshooting
Itmayoccurthatthedishwasherdoesnotfunctionordoesnot
functionproperly.Beforecallingfor assistance, letussee what
can be done first: have you forgot to press one of the buttons
ortoperformanessential operation?
TheDishwasher Does NotStart
Have you checked whether:
- the plug is pushed into the socket correctly;
- the power is on in the house;
-the door is closed properly;
- the ON-OFF switch is on "ON";
- the water supply is turned on.
The Dishwasher Does Not Load Water
Have you checked whether:
- the water is turned on and the hose is connected properly;
- the water supply to the house is on and has sufficient
pressure;
- the water supply hose is crimped or bent;
- the filter for the water supply hose is clogged.
The Dishes Are Not Clean
- Have you put the right amount of detergent into the
dispenser?
- Is the wash cycle suitable for the dishes you have placed
inside the appliance?
- Are the filter and microfilter clean?
- Can the sprayer arms turn freely?
TheDishwasher Does NotDrain
Have you checked whether:
- the drain hose is crimped or bent.
Lime Deposits or a White Film Form on the Dishes
Have you checked whether:
- the lid to the salt container is closed properly;
- the rinse aid dosage is correct.
Error messages.
Your dishwasher is equipped with a safety system which is able to
detect any operating anomalies. These anomalies are reported by
one or two wash cycle indicator lights "G" flashing rapidly.
Take a note of which lights are flashing, turn the appliance off and
call for technical assistance.
Tap off alarm
If you have forgotten to turn the water tap on, your appliance will
remindyou of this by sounding a fewshort beeps for a few minutes.
Turn the tap on and your appliance will start up again after a few
minutes.Were youto be absent when thesebeeps aresounded, the
appliance will be blocked automatically and indicator lights 2 and 3
(wash and rinses) will flash rapidly. Turn the appliance off at the ON-
OFF button, turn on the water tap and wait approximately 20
seconds before turning the appliance back on; the selected wash
cycle will start up again.
Clogged filter alarm
If the appliance is blocked and indicator lights 1 (pre-wash) and 3
(rinses) flash rapidly, this means the filter is clogged by large particles
of food residue. Turn the appliance off, clean the filter thoroughly
and reposition it in its seat as illustrated on this page. Then turn it
back on. The selected wash cycle will start up again.
If,despiteallthesechecks,thedishwasherstilldoesnotfunction
and/or the problem persists, contact the nearest authorised
servicecentreandprovidethemwiththefollowinginformation:
- the nature of the problem;
- the model type number (Mod. ...) and the serial number (S/
N ....), which are indicated on the plate located on the side of
theinner part of the door.
Never call on unauthorised technicians and refuse to allow
parts to be installed that are not original spare parts.

Positioning the Appliance
Position the appliance in the desired location. The back
should rest against the wall behind it, and the sides, along
the adjacent cabinets or wall. The dishwasher is equipped
withwater supply and drain hosesthat can be positioned to
the right or the left to facilitate proper installation.
Levelling the Appliance
Once the appliance is positioned, adjust the feet (screwing
themin orout)to adjusttheheight ofthedishwasher, making
it level. In any case, the appliance should not be inclined
more than 2°.
If the appliance is level, it will help ensure proper perfor-
mance.
Cold Water Connection
Thiselectrichouseholdappliance
should be connected to the
water mains using the cold
watersupplyhoseprovidedwith
the appliance only. Do not use
adifferenthose. In the event of
replacements,use originalspare
partsonly.
Connect the cold water supply
hose to a threaded 3/4 (gas)
connector, inserting the small
filtersuppliedwith the dishwasher and making sure that itis
fastened tightly in place (see figure 2).
If the water pipes are new or have not been used for an
extendedperiodof time, let the water run to makesurethat
the water is clear and free of impurities. If this precaution is
not taken, there is a risk that the water inlet can get
blocked and damage the appliance.
Hot Water Connection
The water supply to the appliance can also be connected to
the house's hot water line (centralised system, heating
system), as long as it does not exceed a temperature of 60°
C.
In this case, the wash cycle time will be shortened by about
15 minutes and the wash efficiency slightly reduced.
Theconnection must bemadetothe hot waterlinefollowing
thesameprocedures as those for the connectiontothe cold
water line.
Drain Hose Connection
Fit the drain pipe into a drain line with a minimum diameter
of 4 cm or place it over the
sink. Avoid restricting or
bending it. Use the special
plastic elbow provided (see fi-
gure) to position it in the best
possible way. The part of the
pipe marked with the letter A
shouldbebetween40and100
cm above the ground.
The pipe should not be
immersed in water.
Attention: The special plastic hose support must be solidly
fastenedto the wall to preventthe drain hose frommoving
and allowing water to spill outside the drain.
Electrical Connection
Aftermaking sure that the voltageand frequency values for
the current in the home correspond to those on the rating
plate (located on the stainless steel inner door of the
appliance) and that the electrical system is sized for the
maximum voltage on the rating plate, insert the plug into
an electrical socket which is earthed properly (the earthing
of the appliance is a safety requirement mandated by law).
If the electrical socket to which the appliance must be
connected is not appropriate for the plug, replace the plug,
rather than using adpators or the like as they could cause
overheatingand burns.
Caution:the dishwasher plugmustbeaccessible even when
theappliance isinstalledas abuilt-inunitso thatmaintenance
can be done safely.
Should the electricity supply cable be damaged, we
