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.
6. Run a Rinse and Hold programme.
Setting the water softener
The 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.
The 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).
The 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.
The dishwasher is factory set at level 4.
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.

Audible signals
Audible signals have been introduced to help indicate which
operations the dishwasher is performing.
Short "instruction accepted" signal
When any of the push buttons are pressed (except the
On/Off push button), a short audible signal informs you that
the machine has accepted the instruction given.
Long "programme run" signal
A continuous audible signal informs you that the washing
programme is starting.
Intermittent "end of programme" signal
An intermittent audible signal informs you that the wash
programme has ended.
To deactivate these audible signals, press simultaneously
and keep pressed both "Normal 65°" and "Bio 50°" push
buttons for about 3 seconds, until the short intermittent audible
signal is no longer heard, this means that the audible signals
have been deactivated.
To reactivate these audible signals, press simultaneously
and keep pressed both "Normal 65°" and "Bio 50°" push
buttons for about 3 seconds, until a short intermittent audible
signal is heard, this means that the audible signals have been
reactivated.
Both operations (to deactivate or reactivate the audible
signals) must be carried out before starting a washing
programme; the setting will remain memorised after
switching off the dishwasher.

If this level is not suitable for your area the softener should be
adjusted.
Each push button corresponds to a different level (see chart).
The adjustment of the water softener is possible only with
the machine in setting mode.
To select a different level proceed as follows:
1. Press "Normal 65°" and "Quick 50°" programme push
buttons simultaneously for about 5 seconds. The indicator
light corresponding to the current level flashes.
2. Press the programme push button corrrsponding to the
required level.
3. 5 seconds after having pressed any of the programme push
buttons, the dishwasher memorises the level selected and
returns to the programme setting mode.
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. To 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.
The 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 take longer to dissolve then
this can take longer.
The operation 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. The
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.
The indicator (B) will be completely dark.
3. Top up the rinse aid when indicator (B) becomes clear.
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.
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. If the programme has a prewash add a little amount of
detergent 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.
Only in case of use of detergent in tablets with Quick 50°
programme, it is advisable to put the tablet directly in the
dishwasher and not in the dispenser or in special tablet
containers.
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.
The enzymes deploy their full dirt dissolving power at a
temperature as low as 50°C.
By choosing the BIO programmes you can therefore achieve
the same cleaning results that would otherwise be achievable
only with 65°C programmes and conventional detergents.

To save energy
Place dishes in the machine immediately after every meal and
wait until the dishwasher is full before washing.
Do not prewash dishes under running water.
For best washing results
Before loading, remove all scraps of food and soak very
heavily soiled pots and pans.
Arrange saucepans, cups and glasses etc. upside-down.
Tilt items with convex or concave surfaces so that the water
drains off easily.
Avoid contact between the dishes as far as possible.
Items not suitable for dishwashers
The following items should not be washed in the dishwasher
(unless they are sold as dishwasher proof):
- Cutlery with wooden or horn handles or glued parts
- bronze cutlery
- saucepans with wooden handles
- aluminium ware
- crystal ware
- leaded glass
- plastic items
- antique or fine decorated china
Certain types of decoration can discolour when washed in a
dishwasher.
Crystal-ware and plastic objects, if not guaranteed dishwasher
proof should be washed by hand.
Certain types of glass can also become opaque
after being washed several times in a dishwasher.
Achemical reaction can occur between silver cutlery and
stainless steel cutlery. As a precaution, do not wash together.
Iron and cast iron objects can rust and stain other items.
Aluminium tends to go black, copper, pewter and
brass tend to stain.
If in doubt check with manufacturer of the item.
When buying new dishes, ensure that they are dishwasher
proof.
Hints and tips

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
baskets.
Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes.
The lower basket
The 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.
The two 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).
- To bring them back to the standing position, just pull them up
again.
The cutlery basket
Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a
potential hazard.
Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives
must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket.
Take care when loading or unloading sharp items such as
knives.
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.
Silver cutlery tends to go black
if mixed with steel cutlery.
Place it in the cutlery basket
separate from the others.
For best results we
recommend to use the cutlery
grids provided (if the size and
the dimensions of the cutlery
allow it).
The cutlery basket is in two
parts which can be separated
to give greater loading
flexibility. To separate the two
parts, slide them horizontally
in opposite directions and
pull them apart. To
reassemble, reverse the
procedure.
The upper basket
The 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 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.) should 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
forwards and avoiding the
front positions near the
door.
Attention!
Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can
rotate freely.
Adjusting the height of the upper basket
If washing very large plates (over 27 cm and up to 32 cm in
diameter) you can load them in the lower basket after moving
the upper basket to the higher position.
To move to the higher position proceed as follows:
1. Move the front runner
stops (A) of the upper
basket outwards and slide
the basket out.
2. Refit the basket in their
higher position and
replace the stops (A) in
their original position.
When the top basket is in the
higher position it will only
take plates up to 20 cm in
diameter and you will not be
able to use the cup racks.
Attention!
After loading your machine always close the door, as an
open door can be a hazard.

In this fully integrated appliance the controls are located on the
top of the door. When selecting a programme, the door needs
to be open.
1. Check the filters
Ensure they are clean and properly positioned (see
"Maintenance and cleaning").
2. Press the On/Off push button
The On/Off indicator light comes on.
3. Check that there is rinse aid and salt
4. Load the dishes
Remove any scraps of food.
Pull the lower basket out and arrange the saucepans,
plates and cutlery in it.
Pull the upper basket out and arrange the plates,
saucers, glasses and cups etc. in it.
Slide the baskets back into the machine.
5. Ensure that the spray arms can
rotate freely
6. Measure out detergent
Add the required amount of detergent into the dispenser.
Close the detergent dispenser lid.
7. Set the programme
Press the programme push button which corresponds to
the washing programme you wish to select, the
corresponding indicator light starts flashing.
8. Start the programme
Close the door, the programme will start automatically.
An audible signal advises you that the programme has
started and the indicator light which corresponds to the
programme underway is now permanently on.
9. To cancel a programme in progress
If the door has not been closed and therefore the
programme has not started, it is possible to change the
selection made simply pressing the push button of
another programme.
A programme underway can be cancelled, by opening
the door and pressing for about 1 second the programme
push button of the programme underway.
The corresponding indicator light will turn off.
A new programme can now be selected.
10. At the end of the washing
programme
The dishwasher will automatically stop and an
intermittent audible signal will be heard when the
programme has ended.
The indicator light of the programme just ended turns off
while the "end of cycle" indicator light flashes.
The On/Off indicator light remains illuminated until the
On/Off push button is depressed.
Open the door and switch off the dishwasher by pressing
the On/Off push button.
Wait a few minutes before removing the dishes; in this
way they will be cooler and drying will be improved.
Empty the lower basket first and then the upper one; this
will avoid water dripping from the upper basket onto the
dishes in the lower one.
Important!
In general it is not advisable to open the door while the
machine is working; if the door is opened however, a
safety device ensures that the machine stops.
Care must be taken if the door is opened during the hot
phase or immediately after a programme has finished, as
steam may escape.
When the washing programme has finished, it is
recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and the
water tap turned off.

Operating sequence

Internal cleaning
Ensure that the seals around the door, the detergent and rinse
aid dispensers are cleaned regularly with a damp cloth.
We recommend every 3 months to run a 65°C wash
programme without dishes using detergent.
Cleaning the central filter
(After each wash)
Scraps of food may accumulate in the drain filter (A) and
should be removed by rinsing the filter under running water.
To remove the drain filter
- simply pull it out by the handle.
Once cleaned, refit the filter by pushing it back to its original
position until it engages.
Cleaning the large filter
(Every week)
If necessary clean the large filter (B) on both sides under
running water, using a brush.
To remove the large filter
1. Remove the spray arm by pulling it upwards on one side.
2. Turn the column (C) anticlockwise by 90° and then slide out
the filter.
3. Once cleaned refit it following the above instructions in
reverse order.
4. Ensure the filter is in its original position, the handle of the
drain filter should be pointing towards the front of the
appliance.
The dishwasher must not be used without filters.
Incorrect repositioning and fitting of the filters will
produce poor washing results.
Cleaning the filters is vital to ensure correct operation of
the machine.
External cleaning
Clean the external surfaces of the machine and control panel
with a damp soft cloth. If necessary use only neutral
detergents. Never use abrasive products, scouring pads or
solvent (acetone, trichloroethylene etc....).
Prolonged periods of non-operation
If you are not using the machine for any period of time you are
advised to:
1. Unplug the appliance and then turn off the water.
2. Fill the rinse aid dispenser.
3. Leave the door ajar to prevent the formation of any
unpleasant smells.
4. Leave the inside of the machine clean.
Frost precautions
Avoid placing the machine in a location where the temperature
is below 0°C. If this is unavoidable, empty the machine, close
the appliance door, disconnect the water inlet pipe and empty
it.
Moving the machine
If you have to move the machine (moving house etc....):
1. Unplug it.
2. Turn the water tap off.
3. Remove the water inlet and discharge hoses.
4. Pull the machine out together with the hoses.
Avoid over tilting the machine during transportation.
