smoothly by a few centimetres. This ensures perfect drying and greater
control of rinsing temperatures, which can be kept at lower levels for
significant energy saving. Once the door has opened, the end of the
wash cycle is indicated by a short beep.

User instructions
13
Enersave is activated
automatically every time
a wash cycle is
selected (except for programs that do not include the final drying phase;
see programs table) and can be disabled before the program is started.
Flexi Tabs, once selected, remains enabled until intentionally disabled.
When the function is activated, opening of the door must not be
impeded in any way; do not leave anything in the space in front of the

SPREAD HALF LOAD
Suitable when there are not many dishes to be washed, it saves energy
and reduces the program duration. Place dishes in both baskets then
load the detergent dispenser than less than the normal amount for a full
load.
Flexi Tabs
Specifically for washing with combination detergents in tablets, which
also contain salt and rinse aid (3in1) or other agents such as glass
protector, steel rinse aids, etc. (4in1, 5in1…). When this option is
selected, salt and rinse aid will not be dispensed even if the relative
compartments contain them. If the containers are empty, the lights will
remain on.
If the option is not provided, we recommend the use of conventional
products (separate detergent, salt and rinse aid), because with
conventional washing cycles, combined products might create problems
such as a white deposit, poor drying results and residues left on dishes.
For further information, refer to the detergent pack.
IMPORTANT:
when no longer required, the option must be deactivated by pressing
the relative button (the light goes out).
These products
are not suitable
for use with
excessively “hard”
water. If
the hardness level set is higher than H3, when the option is activated the
relative light flashes to indicate that the product is being used incorrectly;
the dishwasher will still work, but washing results may be poor.
PROGRAM DELAY
The PROGRAM DELAY button can be pressed to delay the start of the
washing program by from 1 to 12/24 hours depending on the model. This
option allows the dishwasher to be operated at the time of day of the user's
choice. The first time the PROGRAM DELAY button is pressed the option
light comes on and 1:h appears on the DISPLAY (9). The button can then
be pressed again, to set the delay required ( 2:h, 3:h , … etc.). If no button
is pressed for a few seconds, the DISPLAY (9) shows the time left (time
remaining) to the end of the selected program (e.g. 5:40 , duration of the
washing cycle + program delay). When the user confirms the program start
(read the relative section) a prewash will be carried out, after which the
PROGRAM DELAY set will begin, and the time remaining on the DISPLAY
will gradually be counted down. At the end of the delay set, the option light
goes out and the washing cycle starts.
N.B.: It is not possible to select the PROGRAM DELAY option once the
cycle has begun.

HYCLEAN
Increases the temperature of the final hot rinse to 70°C to ensure a further
reduction in the bacteria level. If the temperature in the tank falls during
this stage of the program (e.g. because the door is opened or due to a
power blackout), the light of the option and the program lights flash to warn
that the additional washing phase has not been completed successfully.
This does not mean that the wash program has been less effective than
usual.
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. To avoid using excessive amounts of detergent and to
save on electricity, observe the following:
•separate the more delicate items from dishes that are more
resistant to aggressive detergents and high temperatures;
•do not pour the detergent directly on the dishes.
ENERGY MANAGEMENT
After 5 minutes of waiting (washing cycle completed, stopped or set but
not started) the dishwasher switches to a standby state to reduce
energy consumption.
In this state, the dishwasher indicator panel (lights or display depending
on model) functions more slowly (switch-on once every 5 seconds).
REMOVING THE DISHES
At the end of the washing program, wait at least 20 minutes before
removing the dishes, to allow them to cool down. To prevent any water
droplets on the upper basket from falling on the dishes in the lower
basket, it is advisable to unload the lower basket first, and then the
upper basket.

2. Operating instructions
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.
2.1 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
dishwasher is equipped with an automatic
softening system which uses a special
regenerating salt to reduce the hardness
of the water.
The dishwasher is factory set for water
hardness level 3 (average hardness).
When using water of medium hardness, the regenerating salt container
should be refilled after approximately 20 washing cycles. The salt
container can hold approximately 1.7 Kg of salt in grains. The container
is situated at the bottom of the dishwasher. After removing the lower
basket, unscrew the salt container cap by turning it anticlockwise and
pour in the salt using the funnel supplied with the dishwasher. Before
replacing the cap, remove any salt residues from around the opening.
•When using the dishwasher for the first time, in addition to the salt it
is also necessary to add one litre of water to the container.
•Each time the salt container is refilled, make sure that the cap 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 fill the container
completely.
SALT

User instructions
17
•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.
Be careful not to confuse the salt and detergent packages; adding
detergent to the salt container will damage the water softening system.
ADJUSTING THE WATER SOFTENING SYSTEM
(available in all programs except the soak program)
The dishwasher is equipped with an electronic device for adjusting the
water softening setting according to the hardness of the water. To adjust
the water softening setting, proceed as follows.
•
Keep the SELECTION PROGRAMS button (2) pressed for a few
seconds, until H3 (default value) appears on the DISPLAY (9).
•Keep pressing the SELECTION PROGRAMS (2) button again to
scroll through the setting values available in sequence
(from H 0 to H 6 ). Select the most suitable value, referring to the
"Water hardness table" for guidance.
•To exit the programming mode press the START/PAUSE button (3)
or do not touch the keypad for 2 seconds to allow the system to exit
the mode automatically.

2.2 Using the rinse aid and detergent dispensers
The detergent and rinse aid
dispensers are situated on the inner
part of the door: the detergent
dispenser is on the left, and the
rinse aid dispenser is on the right.
With the exception of the SOAK program, before every washing cycle it
is necessary to add the required amount of detergent to the detergent
dispenser. The rinse aid, on the other hand, should only be added as
required.
