FIRST TIME USE

SALT, RINSE AID, AND DETERGENT

ADVICE REGARDING THE FIRST-TIME USE
After installation, remove the stoppers from the racks and the retaining elastic elements from the upper rack.

FILLING THE SALT RESERVOIR
The use of salt prevents the formation of LIMESCALE on the dishes and on the machine’s functional components.

• It is mandatory that THE SALT RESERVOIR BE NEVER EMPTY.
• It is important to set the water hardness.

The salt reservoir is located in the lower part of the dishwasher (see PRODUCT DESCRIPTION) and must be filled when the SALT REFILL indicator light in the control panel is lit.

1. Remove the lower rack and unscrew the reservoir cap (anticlockwise).
2. Only the first time you do this: fill the salt reservoir with water.
3. Position the funnel (see figure) and fill the salt reservoir right up to its edge (approximately 1 kg); it is not unusual for a little water to leak out.
4. Remove the funnel and wipe any salt residue away from the opening.

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). Whenever you need to add salt, it is mandatory to complete the pro- cedure before the beginning of the washing cycle to avoid corrosion.

SETTING THE WATER HARDNESS

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

• Switch on the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.
• Switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.
• Hold down the button START/Pause for 5 seconds, until you hear a beep.
• Switch on the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.
• The current selection level number and the salt indicator light both flash.
• Press button P to select the desired hardness level (see WATER HARDNESS TABLE).

• Switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.

The setting is complete!
As soon as this procedure is complete, run a program without loading. Only use salt that has been specifically designed for dishwashers. After the salt has been poured into the machine, the SALT REFILL indicator light switches off. If the salt container is not filled, the water softener and the heating element may be damaged as a result of limescale accumulation. Using Salt is recommended with any type of dishwasher detergent.

FILLING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER
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.

1. Open the dispenser B by pressing and pulling up the tab on the lid.
2. Pour in the rinse aid (max.110 ml), making sure it does not overflow from the dispenser. If this happens, clean the spill immediately with a dry cloth.
3. Press the lid down until you hear a click to close it.

NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the appliance tub.

ADJUSTING THE DOSAGE OF RINSE AID
If you are not completely satisfied with the drying results, you can adjust the quantity of rinse aid used.

• Switch the dishwasher on using the ON/OFF button.
• Switch it off using the ON/OFF button.
• Press the button START/Pause three times – a beep will be heard.
• Switch it on using the ON/OFF button.
• The current selection level number and rinse aid indicator light flash.
• Press button P to select the level of rinse aid quantity to be supplied.
• Switch it off using the ON/OFF button

The setting is complete!

If the rinse aid level is set to 1 (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 the instructions above to check this for your machine.

• If you see bluish streaks on the dishes, set a low number (2-3).
• If there are drops of water or limescale marks on the dishes, set a mid-range number (4-5).

FILLING THE DETERGENT DISPENSER
To open the detergent dispenser use the opening device C. Introduce the detergent into the dry dispenser D only. Place the amount of detergent for pre-washing directly inside the tub.

1. When measuring out the detergent refer to the mentioned earlier information to add the proper quantity. Inside the dispenser D, there are indications to help the detergent dosing.
2. Remove detergent residues from the edges of the dispenser and close the cover until it clicks.
3. Close the lid of the detergent dispenser by pulling it up until the closing device is secured in place.

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.
Usage of detergent not designed for dishwashers may cause malfunction or damage to the appliance.

PROGRAMS TABLE

ECO program data is measured under laboratory conditions according to European Standard EN 60436:2020.

Note for Test Laboratories:
For information on comparative EN testing conditions, please send an email to the following address: [email protected]

Pre-treatment of the dishes is not needed before any of the programs.

• Not all options can be used simultaneously.
• Values given for programs other than the program Eco are indicative only. The actual time may vary depending on many factors such as temperature and pressure of the incoming water, room temperature, amount of detergent, quantity and type of load, load balancing, additional selected options, and sensor calibration. The sensor calibration can increase program duration by up to 20 min.

LOADING THE RACKS

UPPER RACK

Load delicate and light dishes: glasses, cups, saucers, and low salad bowls. (loading example for the upper rack)

ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE UPPER RACK

The height of the upper rack can be adjusted: a high position to place bulky crockery in the lower basket and a low position to make the most of the tip-up supports by creating more space upwards and avoiding collision with the items loaded into the lower rack.
The upper rack is equipped with an 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.

FOLDABLE FLAPS WITH ADJUSTABLE POSITION

The side foldable flaps can be folded or unfolded 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

• to unfold the flaps there is needed to slide it up and rotate or release it from the snaps and pull it down.
• to fold the flaps there is needed to rotate it and slide the flaps down or pull it up and attach flaps to the snaps.

SLIDING TRAY
The upper rack is fitted with a sliding tray which can be used to hold small crockery and cutlery. For optimum washing performance, avoid positioning bulky crockery directly below the tray. The tray is removable.

LOWER RACK
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 lower rack has tip-up supports that can be used in a vertical position when arranging plates or in a horizontal position (lower) to load pans and salad bowls easily.

CUTLERY BASKET

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.

ZONE WASH 3D

Zone Wash 3D uses additional water jets located both: in the lower and upper part of the dishwasher (marked with orange color) to wash more intensively heavily soiled items by increasing water coverage on dishes. Example: Load pots and casseroles facing lower part of Zone Wash 3D components and activate the Zone Wash 3D option on the panel.

ACCIDENTAL INTERRUPTIONS
If the door is opened during the wash cycle, or if there is a power cut, the cycle stops. Once the door has been closed or the electricity supply is restored, to start again the cycle from where it was interrupted, press the START/Pause button.
To disable the DEMO MODE the following actions must be carried out in sequence, without breaks. Switch the machine ON and then switch it OFF again. Press the DELAY button until the buzzer is heard. Switch the machine on again. The “dOF” indicator flashes and then turns OFF.

ADVICE AND TIPS

TIPS
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 freely.

Warning
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 rotate freely.

UNSUITABLE CROCKERY

• Wooden crockery and cutlery.
• Delicately decorated glasses, artistic handicrafts, and antique crockery. Their decorations are not resistant.
• Parts in synthetic material that do not withstand high temperatures.
• Copper and tin crockery.
• Crockery soiled with ash, wax, lubricating grease, or ink.

The colors of glass decorations and aluminum/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.

DAMAGE TO GLASS AND CROCKERY

• Only use glasses and porcelain guaranteed by the manufacturer as dishwasher safe.
• Use a delicate detergent suitable for crockery
• Collect glasses and cutlery from the dishwasher as soon as the wash cycle is over.

TIPS ON ENERGY SAVING

• When the household dishwasher is used according to the manufacturer’s instructions, washing tableware in a dishwasher usually consumes less energy and water than hand dishwashing.
• In order to maximize dishwasher efficiency it is recommended to initiate the wash cycle once the dishwasher is fully loaded. Loading the household dishwasher up to the capacity indicated by the manufacturer will contribute to energy and water savings. Information on the correct loading of tableware can be found in the LOADING THE RACKS chapter.
• In case of partial loading, it is recommended to use dedicated wash options if available (Half load/ Zone Wash, Multizone), filling up only selected racks. Incorrect loading or overloading the dishwasher may increase resource usage (such as water, energy, and time, as well as increase noise level), reducing cleaning and drying performance.
• Manual pre-rinsing of tableware items leads to increased water and energy consumption and is not recommended.

HYGIENE
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 teaspoon of detergent and run it without loading to clean your appliance.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

CLEANING THE FILTER ASSEMBLY
Regularly clean the filter assembly so that the filters do not clog and that the waste water flows away correctly. Using a dishwasher with clogged filters or foreign objects inside the filtration system or spray arms may cause unit malfunction resulting in lose of performance, noisy work, or higher resource usage. The filter assembly consists of three filters that remove food residues from the washing water and then recirculate the water.

The dishwasher must not be used without filters or if the filter is loose.
At least once per month or after every 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:

1. Turn the cylindrical filter A in an anti-clockwise direction and pull it out (Fig 1).
2. Remove the cup filter B by exerting a slight pressure on the side flaps (Fig 2).
3. Slide out the stainless-steel plate filter C (Fig 3).
4. In case you find foreign objects (such as broken glass, porcelain, bones, fruit seeds, etc.) please remove them carefully.
5. Inspect the trap and remove any food residues. NEVER REMOVE the wash-cycle pump protection (black detail) (Fig 4).

After cleaning the filters, re-place the filter assembly and fix it in position correctly; this is essential for maintaining the efficient operation of the dishwasher.

CLEANING THE WATER INLET 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 da-mage the dishwasher.

CLEANING THE SPRAY ARMS
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 SOFTENING SYSTEM
Water softener automatically reduces water hardness, consequently preventing scale buildup on the heater, contributing also to better cleaning efficiency.

This system regenerates itself with salt, therefore it is required to refill salt containers when empty.
The frequency of regeneration depends on the water hardness level setting – regeneration takes place once per 6 Eco cycles with the water hardness level set to 3. The regeneration process starts in the final rinse and finishes in the drying phase before the cycle ends.

• Single regeneration consumes: ~3.5L of water;
• Takes up to 5 additional minutes for the cycle;
• Consumes below 0.005kWh of energy.
