Before using your dishwasher for the
first time:
1. Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply
with the installation instructions
2. Remove all packaging from inside the appliance
3. Set the water softener
4. Pour 1 litre of water inside the salt container and then fill
with salt
5. Fill the rinse aid dispenser.
Setting the water softener
he dishwasher is equipped with a water softener designed to
remove minerals and salts from the water supply, which would
have a detrimental or adverse effect on the operation of the
appliance.
he higher the content of these salts, the harder your water is.
Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, German
degrees, French degrees and PPM (parts per Million).
he softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of
the water in your area. Your local Water Authority can advise
you on the hardness of the water in your area.
he dishwasher is factory set at level 3.
If this level is not suitable for your area the softener should be
adjusted.
If your water is level 1 it is already soft and therefore there
is no need to use salt.
With the setting of the water softener at level 1 the salt
indicator light on the control panel will always remain off.
Use salt from level 2 upwards.
From level 2 upwards, if salt refilling is necessary, the salt
indicator light will illuminate only in setting mode and at
the end of the washing programme.
During the run of the programme it will remain off.
To select a different level ensure that the
dishwasher is off and then proceed as
follows:
1. Press Normal 65° and BIO 50° programme push buttons
simultaneously.
2. While keeping the programme push buttons Normal 65°
and BIO 50° pressed switch on the dishwasher by pressing
the On/Off push button.
he On/Off indicator light comes on.
At the same time, the indicator lights of the Normal 65° and
BIO 50° push buttons start flashing.
3. Press the Normal 65° push button, the indicator light of the
BIO 50° push button turns off, while the indicator light of the
Normal 65° push button remains fixed for about 5 seconds
and then starts to flash indicating the current level.
he current level is indicated by the number of flashes
made by the Normal 65° indicator light, that alternates 5
seconds off with a number of flashes, this continues for
about 60 seconds.
Example:
1 flash = level 1
2 flashes = level 2
3 flashes = level 3
4 flashes = level 4
5 flashes = level 5
4. o change the level, press the Normal 65° programme push
button. Each time the push button is pressed the level
changes.
Example:
If the current level is 3, by pressing the Normal 65°
programme push button once, level 4 is selected.
If the current level is 5, by pressing the Normal 65°
programme push button once, level 1 is selected.
he Normal 65° indicator light remains off for about 5
seconds after which it starts flashing indicating the new
level selected.
5. o memorise the new level, switch off the dishwasher by
pressing the On/Off push button.

Filling with salt
Only use salt specifically designed for use in
dishwashers.
All other types of salt not specifically designed for use in
a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water
softener.
Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete
washing programmes.
This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which
may have been spilled, remaining on the bottom of the
machine for any period of time, which may cause
corrosion.
To fill:
1. o fill with salt, unscrew the cap of the salt container.
2. Pour 1 litre of water inside the container (this is necessary
only before filling with salt for the first time).
3. Using the funnel provided,
pour in the salt until the
container is full.
Do not worry if water over
flows from the unit when
filling with salt, this is quite
normal.
4. Replace the cap making
sure that there is no
trace of salt on the screw
thread or on the gasket.
5. Screw on the cap tightly.
he salt container will require topping up periodically.
You are reminded of this by the salt indicator light on the
control panel which comes on when the salt has finished.
The salt indicator light on the control panel can remain
illuminated for 2-6 hours after the salt has been
replenished, assuming the dishwasher remains switched
on. If you are using salts that ta e longer to dissolve then
this can ta e longer. The function of the machine is not
affected.
Rinse aid
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring
thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying. he
dispenser, which is positioned inside the door, holds about 110
ml of rinse aid, which is sufficient for 16 - 40 dishwashing
programmes, depending upon the dosage setting.
Filling with rinse aid
1. Open the container by turning the lid (A) anticlockwise.
2. Add the rinse aid until the container is completely full.
he indicator (B) will be completely dark.
3. op up the rinse aid when the rinse aid indicator light on the
control panel illuminates.
If rinse aid refilling is necessary, the rinse aid indicator
light will illuminate only in setting mode and at the end of
the washing programme.
During the run of the programme it will remain off.
Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill.
Do not put liquid detergent in the rinse aid compartment. Clean
up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an absorbent cloth to
avoid excess foaming during the next wash.
It is possible to deactivate the rinse aid indicator light (see
the following instructions). By default the rinse aid indicator
light is active.
To deactivate the rinse aid indicator
light ensure that the dishwasher is off
and then proceed as follows:
1. Press Normal 65° and BIO 50° programme push buttons
simultaneously.
2. While keeping the programme push buttons Normal 65°
and BIO 50° pressed switch on the dishwasher by pressing
the On/Off push button.
he On/Off indicator light comes on.
At the same time, the indicator lights of the Normal 65° and
BIO 50° push buttons start flashing.
3. Press the BIO 50° push button, the correspondent indicator
light keeps flashing while the indicator light of the Normal
65° push button turns off.
At the same time the indicator light "end of programme"
starts to flash.
4. Press the BIO 50° push button again, the "end of
programme" indicator light turns off, this means that the
rinse aid indicator light has been deactivated.

Adjusting the dose
According to the finish and drying results obtained, adjust the
dose of rinse aid by means of the 6 position selector (C)
(position 1 minimum dosage, position 6 maximum dosage).
Increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on
the dishes after washing.
Reduce it if there are sticky whitish streaks on the dishes.
Use of detergent
Only use detergents specifically designed for use in
dishwashers.
If using powder detergents proceed as follows:
1. Open the dispenser lid by pulling the catch (D).
2. Add the detergent according to the instructions given in the
"Washing programmes" chart.
As all detergents are not the same, you should also consult
the instructions on the packet.
3. Always close the lid.
4. he programmes with prewash require a small extra
amount of detergent to be poured over the lid of the
dispenser. Follow the recommended quantity of detergent
given in the "Washing programmes" chart.
If using detergent in tablets proceed as follows:
1. For all programmes; place 1 tablet inside the detergent
dispenser.
2. Always close the lid.
3. For all programmes with prewash; place a portion of a
further tablet on the lid of the detergent dispenser.
If detergents in tablets form are used with the QUICK 50°
programme, it is advisable to put the tablet directly in the
dishwasher and not in the dispenser or in special tablet
containers. his ONLY applies to these programmes.
Attention!
Chec that the detergent receptacle is empty after
completion of the wash cycle.
Insufficient quantities of detergent will produce poor
washing results, whereas an excessive amount of
detergent will not improve washing results and is also
wasteful.
Using no more than the correct amount also contributes
to reducing pollution.
Compact detergents with enzymes
In these compact powders the environmentally unfriendly
components have been replaced by natural enzymes and
other more biodegradable substances.
he enzymes deploy their full dirt dissolving power at a
temperature as low as 50°C.
By choosing the BIO/50°C programmes you can therefore
achieve the same cleaning results that would otherwise be
achievable only with 65°C programmes and conventional
detergents.

Loading your appliance
Before placing dishes in the machine, remove any scraps of
food, to avoid clogging the filters and consequently reducing
the performance.
Do not load very small items which can fall through the
bas ets.
Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes.
The lower bas et
he lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates,
salad bowls, cutlery etc.
Serving dishes and large lids should be arranged around the
edge of the basket, ensuring that the upper spray arm can turn
freely.
he rear rows of prongs on the lower basket can be easily
lowered to allow you to load pots, pans and bowls.
To lower the prongs:
- Slightly pull them upward and let them drop down (see
picture).
- o bring them back to the standing position, just pull them up
again.
The cutlery bas et
Long bladed nives stored in an upright position are a
potential hazard.
These items should only be placed in the removable nife
bas et.
Ta e care when loading or unloading sharp items such as
nives.
Removable nife bas et
Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must
be placed horizontally in the removable knife basket, which is
positioned at the rear of the upper basket.
Cutlery should be placed in the removable cutlery basket with
the handles facing downwards. If the handles protrude from
the bottom of the basket, obstructing the lower spray arm, load
the cutlery with the handles facing upwards.
Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent them from sticking
together.
he cutlery basket is in two
parts which can be separated
to give greater loading
flexibility. o separate the two
parts, slide them horizontally
in opposite directions and
pull them apart. o
reassemble, reverse the
procedure.
For best results we
recommend you to use the
cutlery grids provided (if the
size and dimensions of the
cutlery allow it).
The upper bas et
he upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates,
saucers, dinner plates of up to 25 cm in diameter), salad
bowls, cups and glasses.
Arrange items on and
underneath the cup racks so
that water can reach all
surfaces.
Glasses with long stems can
be placed upside down in the
cup racks.
Light items (plastic bowls
etc.) must be loaded in the
upper basket and arranged
so they do not move.
In case that plates are loaded in the upper
basket:
load them starting from the
rear positions of the basket;
tilting them slightly forwards
and avoiding the front
positions near the door.
Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can
rotate freely.
