Advice regarding the first time use
After installation, remove the stoppers from the racks and the retaining elastic elements from the upper rack
The use of salt prevents the formation of LIMESCALE on the 1 dishes andon the machine's functional components.
The salt reservoir is located in the lower part of the dishwasher (see PRODUCT DESCRIPTION) and should be filled when the SALT REFILL indicator light in the control panel is lit.
Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly, so that no detergent can get into the container during the wash program (this could damage the water softener beyond repair).
As soon as this procedure is complete, run a program without loading. The "Pre-Wash" program alone is NOT SUFFICIENT Residual saline solution or grains of salt can lead to corrosion, irreparably damaging the stainless steel components. The guarantee is not applicable if faults are caused by such circumstances.
Only use salt that has been specifically designed for dishwashers. If the salt container is not filled, the water softener and the heating element may be damaged as a result of limescale accumulation. Using of Salt is recommended with any type of dishwasher detergent. Whenever you need to add salt, it is mandatory to complete the procedure before the beginning of the washing cycle to avoid corrosion.
To allow the water softener to work in a perfect way, it is essential that the water hardness setting is based on the actual water hardness in your house. This information can be obtained from your local water supplier. The factory sets the default value for the water hardness.
Water Hardness Table | ||||
Level | °dH German degrees | °fH French degrees | °Clark English degrees | |
1 | Soft | 0 - 6 | 0 - 10 | 0 - 7 |
2 | Medium | 7 - 11 | 11 - 20 | 8 - 14 |
3 | Average | 12 - 16 | 21 - 29 | 15 - 20 |
4 | Hard | 17 - 34 | 30 - 60 | 21 - 42 |
5 | Very hard | 35 - 50 | 61 - 90 | 43 - 62 |
Rinse aid makes dish DRYING easier. The rinse aid dispenser A should be filled when the RINSE AID REFILL indicator light in the control panel is lit.
If you are not completely satisfied with the drying results, you can adjust the quantity of rinse aid used.
Setting is complete!
If the rinse aid level is set to ZERO (ECO), no rinse aid will be supplied. The LOW RINSE AID indicator light will not be lit if you run out of rinse aid. A maximum of 5 levels can be set according to the dishwasher model. The factory setting is specific to the model, please follow instruction above to check this for your machine.
Usage of detergent not designed for dishwashers may cause malfunction or damage to the appliance.
To achieve the best washing and drying results, the combined useof detergent, rinse aid liquid and refined salt is required. We recommend using detergents that do not contain phosphates or chlorine, as these products are harmful to the environment. Good washing results also depend on the correct amount of detergent being used.
Exceeding the stated amount does not result in a more effective wash and increases environmental pollution. The amount can be adjusted to the soil level. In the case of normally soiled items, use approximately either 35g (powder detergent) or 35ml (liquid detergent) and additional tea spoon of detergent directly inside the tub. If tablets are used, one tablet will be enough. If the crockery is only lightly soiled or if it has been rinsed with water before being placed in the dishwasher, reduce the amount of detergent used accordingly (minimum 25 g/ml) e.g. skip the powder/gel putted inside the tub.
To open the detergent dispenser press button C.
Introduce the detergent into the dry dispenser D only.
Place the amount of detergent for pre-washing directly inside the tub.
The detergent dispenser automatically opens up at the right time according to the program. If all-in-one detergents are used, we recommend using the TABLET button, because it adjusts the program so that the best washing and drying results are always achieved.
Before loading the baskets, remove all food residues from the crockery and empty the glasses. You do not need to rinse beforehand under running water.
Arrange the crockery so that it is held in place firmly and does not tip over; and arrange the containers with the openings facing downwards and the concave/convex parts placed obliquely, thus allowing the water to reach every surface and flow freel.
lids, handles, trays and frying pans do not prevent the sprayer arms from rotating.
Place any small items in the cutlery basket. Very soiled dishes and pans should be placed in the lower basket because in this sector the water sprays are stronger and allow a higher washing performance.
After loading the appliance, make sure that the sprayer arms can cotate freely.
Load delicate and light dishes: glasses, cups, saucers, low salad bowls.
The side foldable flaps can be fold or unfold to optimize the arrangement of crockery inside the rack.
Wine glasses can be placed safely in the foldable flaps by inserting the stem of each glass into the corresponding slots.
Depending on the model:
The height of the upper rack can be adjusted:
high position to place bulky crockery in the lower basket and low position to make the most of the tip-up supports by creating more space upwards and avoid collision with the items loaded into lower rack.
The upper rack is equipped with a Upper Rack height adjuster (see figure), without pressing the levers, lift it up by simply holding the rack sides, as soon as the rack is stable in its upper position.
To restore to the lower position, press the levers A at the sides of the rack and move the basket downwards.
We strongly recommend that you do not adjust the height of the rack when it is loaded. NEVER raise or lower the basket on one side only.
For pots, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery etc. Large plates and lids should ideally be placed at the sides to avoid interferences with the spray arm.
The basket is equipped with top grilles for improved cutlery arrangement. The cutlery basket should be positioned only at the front of the lower rack. Knives and other utensils with sharp edges must be placed in the cutlery basket with the points facing downwards or they must be positioned horizontally in the tip-up compartments on the upper rack.
The colours of glass decorations and aluminium/silver pieces can change and fade during the washing process. Some types of glass (e.g. crystal objects) can become opaque after a number of wash cycles too.
To avoid odour and sediment which can be accumulated in the dishwasher please run a high temperature program at least once a month. Use a tea spoon of detergent and run it without the loading to clean your appliance.
The machine will switch off automatically during certain extended periods of inactivity, in order to minimise electricity consumption. If the crockery is only lightly soiled or if it has been rinsed with water before being placed in the dishwasher, reduce the amount of detergent used accordingly.
Modifying a running program
If a wrong program was selected, it is possible to change it, provided that it has only just begun: open the door, press and hold the ON/OFF button, the machine will switch off. Switch the machine back on using the ON/OFF button and select the new wash cycle and any desired options; Start the wash cycle by pressing START/Pause button and closing the door within 4 sec.
Adding extra crockery
Without switching off the machine, open the door (START/ Pause led starts blinking) (be ware of HOT steam!) and place the crockery inside the dishwasher. Press the START/Pause button and close the door within 4 sec., the cycle will resume from the point at which it was interrupted.
Accidental interruptions
If the door is opened during the wash cycle, or if there is a power cut, the cycle stops. Press the START/Pause button and close the door within 4 sec., the cycle will resume from the point at which it was interrupted.
HALF LOAD
If there are not many dishes to be washed, a half load cycle may be used in order to save water, electricity and detergent. Select the program and press the HALF LOAD button: the indicator light will light up. Press the HALF LOAD button to deselect this option.
Remember to halve the amount of detergent.
TABLET (Tab)
This setting allows you to optimize the performance of the program according to the type of detergent used.
Press the START/PAUSE button for 3 seconds (the corresponding symbol will light up) if you use combined detergents in tablet form (rinse aid, salt and detergent in 1 dose).
If you use powder or liquid detergent, this option should be off.
DELAY
The start time of the program may be delayed for a period of time between 1 and 12 hours.
The DELAY function cannot be set once a wash cycle has been started.
NATURADRY
Door opening system NaturalDry is a convection drying system which automatically opens the door during/after drying phase to ensure exceptional drying performance every day. Door opens at the temperature that is safe to your kitchen furniture. As additional steam protection, special designed protection foil is added together with the dishwasher.

FUNCTIONS can be selected directly by pressing the corresponding button (see CONTROL PANEL).
If a function is not compatible with the selected program see PROGRAMS TABLE, the corresponding LED rapidly 3 times and beeps will sound. The option will not be enabled.
ATTENTION: Always unplug the appliance when cleaning it and when performing maintenance work. Do not use flammable liquids to clean the machine.
Any marks on the inside of the appliance may be removed using a cloth dampened with water and a little vinegar. The external surfaces of the machine and the control panel can be cleaned using a non-abrasive cloth which has been dampened with water. Do not use solvents or abrasive products.
Always keep the door of the appliance ajar in order to avoid moisture from forming and being trapped inside the machine. Clean the seals around the door and detergent dispensers regularly using a damp sponge. This will avoid food becoming trapped in the seals, which is the main cause behind the formation of unpleasant odours.
Check the inlet hose regularly for brittleness and cracks. If damaged, replace it by a new hose available through our AfterSales Service or your specialist dealer. Depending on the hose type:
If the inlet hose has a transparent coating, periodically check if the colour intensifies locally. If yes, the hose may have a leak and should be replaced.
For water stop hoses: check the small safety valve inspection window (see arrow). If it is red, the water stop function was triggered, and the hose must be replaced by a new one. For unscrewing this hose, press the release button while unscrewing the hose.
If the water hoses are new or have not been used for an extended period of time, let the water run to make sure it is clear and free of impurities before performing the necessary connections. If this precaution is not taken, the water inlet could become blocked and damage the dishwasher.
Regularly clean the filter assembly so that the filters do not close and that the waste water flows away correctl.
Using dishwasher with clogged filters or foreign objects inside filtration system or sprayarms may cause unit malfunction resulting in lose of performance, noisy work or higher resources usage.
The filter assembly consists of three filters which remove foo residues from the washing water and then recirculate the water: to obtain the best washing results, you need to keep them clean.
The dishwasher must not be used without filters or if the filter is loose.
At least once per month or after each 30 cycles, check the filter assembly and if necessary clean it thoroughly under running water, using a non-metallic brush and following the instructions below:
After cleaning the filters, replace the filter assembly and fix it position correctly; this is essential for maintaining the efficient operation of the dishwasher.
On occasions, food residue may become encrusted onto the spray arms and block the holes used to spray the water. It is therefore recommended that you check the arms from time to time and clean them with a small non-metallic brush.
To remove the upper spray arm, turn the plastic locking ring in an anti-clockwise direction. The upper spray arm should be replaced so that the side with the greater number of holes is facing upwards.
The lower spray arm may be removed by pulling it upwards.
Water softener automatically reduces water hardness, consequently preventing scale buildup on heater, contributing also to better cleaning efficienc. This system regenerates itself with salt, therefore it is required to refill salt container when empt. Frequency of regeneration depends on water hardness level setting - by default regeneration takes place once per 5 Eco cycles with water hardness level set to 3. Regeneration process starts in final rins and finishes in drying phase, before cycle ends Single regeneration consumes:
