First Use

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 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. 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).
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.

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 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 Hardness Table|

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

Filling the detergent dispenser
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.

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.

Loading the racks

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 freel.
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 cotate freely.

Upper rack
Load delicate and light dishes: glasses, cups, saucers, low salad bowls.

(loading example for the upper rack)

**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 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.

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.

(loading example for the lower rack)

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.

Unsuitable crockery

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

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.

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.

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 tea spoon of detergent and run it without the loading to clean your appliance.

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 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 correct loading of tableware can be found in Loading chapter. In case of partial loading it is recommended to use dedicated wash options (Half load), fiilling up only selected racks. Incorrect loading or overloading the dishwasher may increase resources 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.

Cleaning and maintenance

ATTENTION: Always unplug the appliance when cleaning it and when performing maintenance work. Do not use flammable liquids to clean the machine.

Cleaning the dishwasher
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.

Preventing unpleasant odours
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.

Cheking the water supply hose
Check the inlet hose regularly for brittleness and cracks. If damaged, replace it by a new hose available through our After Sales Service or your specialist dealer. Depending on the hose type:

If the inlet hose has a transparent coating, periodically check if the colour intensifies locall . 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.

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 damage the dishwasher.

Cleaning the filter assembly
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:

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, porc – lain, 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, replace the filter assembly and fix it position correctly; this is essential for maintaining the efficient operation of 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 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:

• ~3.5L of water;
• takes up to 5 additional minutes for the cycle;
• consumes below 0.005kWh of energy.

Energy saving tips
ECO programme is suitable to clean normally soiled tableware, that for this use, it is the most efficient programme in terms of its combined energy and water consumption, and that it is used to assess compliance with the EU Ecodesign legislation.
Loading the household dishwasher up to the capacity indicated by the manufacturer will contribute to energy and water savings. The manual pre- rinsing of tableware items leads to increased water and energy consumption and is not recommended. Washing tableware in a household dishwasher usually consumes less energy and water in the use phase than hand dishwashing when the household dishwasher is used according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Installation

ATTENTION: If the appliance must be moved at any time, keep it in an upright position; if absolutely necessary, it may be tilted onto its back.
Connecting the water supply
Adaptation of the water supply for installation should only be performed by a qualified technician.
The water inlet and outlet hoses may be positioned towards the right or the left in order to achieve the best possible installation.
Make sure the dishwasher does not bend or squash the hoses.

Connecting the water inlet hose

• Run the water until it is perfectly clear.
• Screw the inlet hose tightly into position and turn on the tap.

If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialist store or an authorised technician. The water pressure must be within the values indicated in the Technical Data table – otherwise the dishwasher may be function properly. Make sure the hose is not bent or compressed.
Specifications for the connection of the water

Supply hose:

Connecting the water outlet hose
Connect the outlet hose to a drain duct with a minimum diameter of 2 cm **A.

The outlet hose connection must be at a height ranging from 40 to 80 cm from the floor or surface where the dishwasher rests Before connecting the water outlet hose to the sink drain, remove the plastic plug B.**

Anti-flooding protection
Anti-flooding protection. To ensure floods do not occur, the dishwasher is provided with a special system which blocks the water supply in the event of anomalies or leaks from inside the appliance. Some models are also equipped with the supplementary safety device New Aqua Stop, which guarantees anti- flooding protectio even in the event of a supply hose rupture. Model has Water protection system Aquastop Under no circumstances should the water inlet hose be cut as it contains live electrical parts.

Electrical connection

WARNING: Under no circumstances should the water inlet hose be cut as it contains live electrical parts.
Before inserting the plug into the electrical socket, make sure that:

• The socket is earth and complies with current regulations;
• The socket can withstand the maximum load of the appliance as shown on the data plate located on the inside of the door (see PRODUCT DESCRIPTION).
• The power supply voltage falls within the values indicated on the data plate on the inside of the door.
• The socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance. If this is not the case, ask an authorised technician to replace the plug (see AFTER-SALES SERVICE). Do not use extension cables or multiple sockets. Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply cable and the electrical socket should be easily accessible.

The cable should not be bent or compressed. If the power supply cable is damaged, have it replaced by the manufacturer or its authorised Technical Assistance Service in order to prevent all potential hazards. The Company shall not be held responsible for any incidents, if these regulations are not observed.

Positioning and leveling

1. Position the dishwasher on a level sturdy floor. If the floor i uneven, the front feet of the appliance may be adjusted until it reaches a horizontal position. If the appliance is leveled correctly, it will be more stable and much less likely to move or cause vibrations and noise while it is operating.
2. Before recessing the dishwasher, stick the adhesive transparent strip under the wooden shelf in order to protect it from any condensation which may form.
3. Place the dishwasher so that its sides or back panel are in contact with the adjacent cabinets or the wall. This appliance can also be recessed under a single worktop.
4. To adjust the height of the rear foot, turn the red hexagonal bushing on the lower central part at the front of the dishwasher using a hexagonal spanner with an opening of 8 mm. Turn the spanner in a clockwise direction to increase the height and in an anticlockwise direction to decrease it.
