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 procedure 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 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).

  4| Hard| 17 – 34| 30 – 60| 21 – 42
  5| Very hard| 35 – 50| 61 – 90| 03 – 62**
• Switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button. 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 of 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 witha 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 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

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 instruction 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.

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 up to 20 min.

OPTIONS AND FUNCTIONS

OPTIONS can be selected directly by pressing the corresponding button (see CONTROL PANEL).

If an option is not compatible with the selected program see PROGRAMS TABLE, the corresponding LED flashes rapidly 3 times and beeps will sound. The option will not be enabled.

3D ZONE WASH

Option works with one rack at once. In particular, we recommend to use it with Mixed and Intensive cycles – thanks to the additional 3D water jets placed on the bottom o the cavity, 3D ZONE WASH option allows to save energy or to increase the washing performance of the dishwasher:

• 3D ZONE WASH + MIXED CYCLE: it allows to reduce energy consumption up to 40%.
• 3D ZONE WASH + INTENSIVE CYCLE: it increases the washing performances up to 40%. Ideal for very soiled mixed loads, e.g. pans and saucepans, dishes with heavy encrustation or difficult-to-clean crockery (grater, vegetable mill, dirty cutlery).
  How to activate the option:

1. Select a compatible cycle
2. By default the appliance washes dishes in all racks. To wash only the specific rack, press this button repeatedly

shown on the display (only lower rack)

shown on the display (only upper rack)

shown on the display (option is OFF and the appliance will wash dishes in all racks)
Remember to load the upper or lower rack only, and to reduce the amount of detergent accordingly. If upper rack is removed, please apply detergent directly to tub instead of detergent dispenser.

This option can be used to reduce the duration of the main programs while maintaining the same washing and drying performance levels.
After selecting the program, press the SHORT TIME button and the indicator light will switch on. To deselect the option, press the same button again.

TABLET (Tab)
This setting allows you to optimize the performance of the program according to the type of detergent used.
A long press (for 3 seconds) of the SHORT TIME button (the corresponding symbol will light up), will activate the function 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.

With each press of the button, the delay start increases by: 0:30 if selection below 4 hours, 1:00 if selection is below 12 hours, 4 hours if selection is above 12 hours. If 24 hours reached, and the button is pressed, the delayed start is deactivated.
2. Press the START/PAUSE button: the timer will begin counting down;
3. Once this time has elapsed, the indicator light switches off and the program begins automatically.

If at the time of the countdown the START/PAUSE button is pressed again the DELAY option is cancelled and the selected program starts automatically.
