First Use

Advice regarding the first time use
Before installation and first usage of the appliance please read carefully „ SAFETY INSTRUCTION” and „ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTION” available in the product literature bag. Please remember to remove all transport protection parts from the dishwasher.

Filling the salt reservoir
The use of salt prevents the formation of LIMESCALE on the dishes andon 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 should 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).
As soon as this procedure is complete, run a program without loading.
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.

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

Water Softening System
Water softener automatically reduces water hardness, conse­quently preventing scale buildup on heater, contributing also to better cleaning efficiency. This system regenerates itself with salt, therefore it is required to refill salt container when empty. Frequency of regeneration depends on water hardness level setting ­ regeneration takes place once per 6 Eco cycles with water hardness level set to 3.
Regeneration process starts in final rinse and finishes in drying phase, before cycle ends.

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

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. Carefully introduce the rinse aid as far as the maximum (110 ml) reference notch of the filling space ­ avoid spilling it. 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 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 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 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 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.

• If you see bluish streaks on the dishes, set a low number (1­2).
• If there are drops of water or limescale marks on the dishes, set a high number (3­4).

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

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 all­in­one 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.

• Pre-treatment of the dishes is not needed before any of the programs.
• Not all options can be used simultaneously

Values given for programes other than the eco program 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.

1. ECO – Eco program is suitable to clean normally soiled tableware, that for this use, it is the most efficient program in terms of its combined energy and water consumption, and that it is used to assess compliance with the EU Ecodesign legislation.
2. Auto – For normally soiled dishes with dried food residues. Senses the level of soiling on the dishes and adjusts the program accordingly. When the sensor is detecting the soil level an animation appears in the display and the cycle duration is updated.
3. INTENSIVE – Program recommended for heavily soiled crockery, especially suitable for pans and saucepans (not to be used for delicate items).

Foldable flaps with adjustable position
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:

• 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 flaps down or pull it up and attach flaps to the snaps.

Adjusting the height of the upper rack

• 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 tip­up 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.

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 tip­up 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.
