  • Page 25 • 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.
  • Page 26 User instructions ADDING THE RINSE AID The rinse aid helps the dishes dry faster and prevents the formation of scale deposits and staining; it is automatically added to the water during the final rinse cycle, from the container situated on the inner side of the door.

  • Page 30 User instructions 4.4 Using the baskets The dishwasher has a capacity of 12 place-settings, including serving dishes. LOWER BASKET The lower basket receives the full force of the lower spray arm, and should therefore be used for the “toughest” items with a heavier degree of soiling.
  • Page 31 User instructions CUTLERY BASKET The cutlery should be arranged in an orderly manner inside the basket, with the handles pointing downwards. Take care during loading to avoid injury from the knife blades. The basket is suitable for all types of cutlery, except those long enough to interfere with the upper spray arm.
  • Page 32 User instructions UPPER BASKET It is recommended to load the upper basket with small- or medium-sized items such as glasses, small plates, tea or coffee cups, shallow bowls and light objects made from heat resistant plastic. If the upper basket is used in the lowermost position, it can also be loaded with serving dishes, provided they are only slightly soiled.
  • Page 33 Depending on the models, the basket may be equipped with some or all of the following accessories: Supports for cups or long objects (ladles, spoons…), on the left; can be tipped to the vertical position when not in use. Long-stemmed glass holder, on the left; to use, simply lift and fix onto the hooks provided.

  • Page 40: Troubleshooting

    6. Troubleshooting The dishwasher has an autodiagnosis system capable of detecting and indicating a preset series of possible malfunctions. If a malfunction occurs, the relative name indicating the possible cause of the malfunction appears on the DISPLAY (G). The following table summarises the main possible malfunctions and provides brief descriptions.
  • Page 41 Flow meter k.o. (for the relevant models only) The appliance is not able to "measure" the amount of water loaded accurately. The alarm is displayed at the end of the cycle, which however is completed since the problem does not interfere with operation of the dishwasher. If the problem persists, contact the after-sales service.
