INTRODUCTION
1 INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing one of our products. To use this dishwasher
correctly and safely, please read this manual carefully. The manual is
divided into sections giving you a step-by-step guide to all your appli-
ance’s functions.
The texts are easy to understand and are complete with detailed illus-
trations. 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 dishwasher.
This manual comprises the following sections:
INTRODUCTION: general information about the manual.
WARNINGS: a list of warnings concerning safety and use of the dish-
washer.
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 pro-
gressive 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”).

General warnings and recommendations
recommendations concerning dish types to be washed and their loading. There
are generally n o constraints on the washing of domestic d ishes, but i n certain
cases it is necessary to take their characteristics into account. Before loading the
dishes into the racks it is necessary to:
• soak any pots or pans with burnt-on food remains on the bottom to facilitate
removal, then load them into the LOWER RACK.
Use the “ ” option (if available) for washing small amounts of dishes;
it saves water and electricity. When using this function, only load the rack se-
; the other rack must remain empty. There is no need
to pre-wash the dishes under running water before loading them into the racks
since this only wastes water. Correct loading of the dishes helps ensure opti-
.stlusergnihsawlam
WARNING!
• ake 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 racks 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;
• do not stack dishes or place them in such a way that they cover one other;
• do not place glasses too close together because they may knock against each
other and break, or there might be staining at the point where they touch.

MAKE SURE that the items being washed are dishwasher-safe.
Items which are not dishwasher-safe:
• Wooden dishes, pots or pans: these may be damaged by the high washing
temperatures.
• Handcrafted i tems: these a re r arely suitable for washing in a d ishwasher.
The relatively high water temperatures and the detergents used may damage
them.
• Lightweight objects: place lightweight objects in the upper rack where the
water pressure is lower.
• Dishes and objects in copper, tin, zinc or brass: these tend to stain.
• Aluminum dishes: items made from anodizedaluminum may lose their col-
or.
• Silverware: silver items may stain.
• Glass and crystal: in general, glass and crystal objects can be washed in the
dishwasher. However, certain types of glass and crystal may become dull and
lose their clearness after many washings. Therefore, for these items we recom-
mend using the least aggressive program available (see “Description of con-
trols”manual).
• Decorated items: the decorated objects available on the market are generally
able to withstand washing in t he dishwasher, although the colors may fade
after a great many washes. If in doubt as to the fastness of the colors, it is advis-
able to wash just a few items at a time for approximately one month.
