FIRST TIME USE

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 never be empty.
• It is important to set the water hardness.

The salt reservoir is located in the lower part of the dishwasher 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. 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.
3. Only the first time you do this: fill the salt reservoir with water.
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 procedure before the beginning of the washing cycle to avoid corrosion.

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. NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the appliance tub.

FILLING THE DETERGENT DISPENSER

1. To open the detergent dispenser use the opening device C. Introduce the detergent into the dry dispenser D only.
2. Place the amount of detergent for pre-washing directly inside the tub.
3. 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.
4. Usage of detergent not designed for dishwashers may cause malfunction or damage to the appliance.

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 the 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.

Please scan the QR code on your product in order to have more detailed information.

• HALF LOAD
  If there are not many dishes to be washed, a half-loading may be used in order to save water, electricity, and detergent. Remember to halve the amount of detergent.

• TABLET (Tab)
  If you use powder or liquid detergent, this option should be off.

• DELAY
  The start 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.

LOADING THE RACKS

CAPACITY : 14 standard place-settings

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

• FOLDABLE FLAPS WITH ADJUSTABLE POSITION

• LOWER RACK
  (loading example for the 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 which 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.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

More information is in the Daily Reference Guide on the website.

CLEANING THE FILTER ASSEMBLY
In case you find foreign objects (such as broken glass, porcelain, bones, fruit seeds, etc.) please remove them carefully. NEVER REMOVE the wash-cycle pump protection (black detail) (Fig 4).

CLEANING THE SPRAY ARMS

• To remove the upper spray arm, turn the plastic locking ring in a clockwise direction.
• The lower spray arm may be removed by pulling it upwards.
