FILLING THE SALT RESERVOIR The use of salt prevents the formation of LIMESCALE
on the dishes and on the machine’s functional components. The salt reservoir
is located in the lower part of the dishwasher (under the lower rack on the
left side). · It is mandatory that the salt reservoir never be empty. · It is
important to set the water hardness. · Salt must be filled when the SALT
REFILL indicator light on 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 0,5 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).
Run a program every time as soon as you completed refilling the salt reservoir 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 setting is “3”. See ,,WATER HARDNESS TABLE”.

To change, follow the instructions in section”SETTING MENU”. 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.
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 container when empty. The frequency of regeneration depends on the water hardness level setting – regeneration takes place once per 4-6 Eco cycles with the water hardness level set to 3. During runs with regeneration, additional water management system fill will happen. The regeneration and water management process occurs at the beginning of the cycle with additional fresh water. · Single regeneration consumes ~7.5 L of water; · Takes up to 15 additional minutes for the cycle; · Consumes below 0.065kWh 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. Pour in the rinse aid (max.
110 ml), making sure it does
not overflow from the dis-
B
A
penser. 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.

EN
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. To change,
follow instructions in the section “SETTING MENU”. If the rinse aid level is
set to ZERO, 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 6 levels can be set
according to the dishwasher model. · If you see bluish streaks on the dishes,
set a low number (0-3). · 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
D
quantity. Inside the dispenser D, there are indica-
tions to help the detergent dosing.
C
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. Usage of detergent not designed for dishwashers may cause
malfunction or damage to the appliance.

button and close the door within 4 sec., the cycle will resume from the point
at which it was interrupted.
WATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM This dishwasher allows the storage of up to 3.2 litres
of fresh water using it in the selected programs. Water is stored in a
dedicated tank and will be used in the subsequently selected programs. It is
recommended to perform the Self-Clean cycle (see PROGRAMS TABLE) periodically.
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
should 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 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.
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 chapter. In case of partial loading, it is recommended
to use a dedicated wash options if available (Half load/ Zone Wash/
Multizone), filling up only selected racks. Incorrect loading or overloading
of 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.
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.
MOVING OR SERVICING THE DISHWASHER This dishwasher includes a water tank that
may remain full of water after the cycle ends (water can leak out if / when
the dishwasher is tipped). Note: Before servicing or moving the dishwasher,
run the Self-Clean cycle to drain the water tank.
RESISTANCE TO FROST If the appliance is placed in surroundings exposed to the
risk of frost, it must be drained completely. Run the Self-Clean cycle to
drain the water tank. Turn off the water tap, remove the inlet and outlet
hoses, and let all the water drain away. Make sure that the water softener is
full of dissolved regeneration salt in the salt container, to protect the
appliance from temperatures of up to -20°C. If the appliance was stored in
frost conditions the appliance must remain at an ambient temperature of min.
5°C for at least 24 hours before the first run.

OPTIONS AND FUNCTIONS
OPTIONS can be selected/ deselected, after choosing the program, directly by pressing the corresponding button (if available – the indicator lights up) (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. An option can change time or water or energy consumption for the program.
POWER CLEAN® – Thanks to the additional power jets this option provides a more intensive and powerful wash in the lower rack, in the specific area. This option is recommended for washing pots and casseroles (Please refer to the Power Clean® loading section). HALF LOAD – If there are not many dishes to be washed, HALF LOAD is used to save water, electricity or time, depending on the selected program. Remember to halve the amount of detergent. EXTRA DRY – The higher temperature during the final rinse and the extended drying phase allow improved drying. SILENT – Suitable for night-time operation of the appliance. This option can be used to limit noise emission during wash phases. It will increase cycle time depending on base cycle selection. SANI RINSE – This option can be used to sanitize washed dishes. It will increase the final rinse temperature and add antibacterial wash to the selected program. Ideal to clean crockery and feeding bottles. The dishwasher door must be kept shut for the entire duration of the program in order to guarantee reduction of germs. WARNING: the crockery and plates could be extremely hot at the end of the cycle. TURBO – Thanks to the Turbo option you can reduce time up to 40% depending on the selected based program. Energy and water consumption are increased. DELAY – The start of the program may be delayed for a period of time between 0:30 and 24 hours. 1. Select the program and any desired options. Press the DELAY button (repeatedly) to delay the start of the program. Adjustable from 0:30 to 24 hours. Once the 24 hours setting is reached, press the DELAY another time to deactivate the DELAY function. 2. Press the START/Pause button and close the door within 4 sec. the timer will begin counting down. 3. Once this time has elapsed, the indicator light switches off and the program begins automatically. The DELAY function cannot be set once a program has been started. WATER TAP CLOSED Alarm – Flashes when there is no inlet water or water tap is closed.
TIME ON THE FLOOR – A LED light projected on the floor indicates the time left
to the end of the cycle. The light goes off every time the door is opened. The
light goes off at the end of a cycle.This feature is active by default, but it
is possible to deactivate it in the “SETTINGS MENU”. NaturalDry – It is a
convection drying system which automatically opens the door during/after
drying phase to ensure exceptional drying performance every day. Door opens at
the temperature that is safe to your kitchen furniture, thus door will not be
opened when the option of SANI RINSE is on. As additional steam protection,
special designed protection foil is added together with the dishwasher. To see
how to mount protection foil please refer to the INSTALLATION GUIDE. This
feature is active by default, but it is possible to deactivate it in the
“SETTINGS MENU”. INTERNAL LIGHTS – When the feature is active the LEDs in the
tub are automatically switched on/off as soon as the user open/close the door
respectively. If the door remains opened for more than 10 min, the LEDs in the
tub switch off (to turn them on again, the door has to be closed and opened
again). This feature is active by default, but it is possible to deactivate it
in the “SETTINGS MENU”. DESCALE Alarm – Limescale accumulation was detected
on the internal components of the appliance. Check if the Water Hardness
Setting is at the correct value and salt is present in the salt container (see
FIRST TIME USE), then use a descaling product (WPro brand is recommended) with
Self-Clean program. After a successful descaling, the icon will stop being
displayed. If the actions above are not performed, product performance will
deteriorate. DESCALE warning will start blinking and «dES» alarm will appear
on the display. If still no action is taken, the appliance will only allow a
certain number of cycles to be started (indicated during «dES» alarm display)
and then will be BLOCKED to prevent component damage, with only the Self-Clean
program available. Performing a full descaling will unblock the product. In
the case of extremely high amounts of limescale, descaling may have to be
performed twice to be efficient.
SENSING – When the sensor is detecting the soil level an animation appears in
the display (around 20 min.) and the cycle duration is updated. SENSING is for
the level of soiling on the dishes and is present for all cycles (excepting
Eco) adjusting the program accordingly.

EN LOADING THE RACKS
CUTLERY RACK The third rack was designed to house the cutlery. Arrange the
cutlery as shown in the figure. A separate arrangement of the cutlery makes
collection easier after washing and improves washing and drying performance.
Knives and other utensils with sharp edges must be positioned with the blades
facing downwards. The cutlery rack is equipped with two sliding side trays to
make the most of the height of the space below and enable the loading of high
items into the upper rack.
UPPER RACK Load delicate and light dishes: glasses, cups, saucers, low salad
bowls. The upper rack has tip-up supports which can be used in a vertical
position when arranging tea/ dessert saucers or in a lower position to load
bowls and food containers.
(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 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.
CAPACITY: 15 standard place-settings 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 flap there is needed to slide it up
and rotate or release it from the snaps and pull it down. · to fold the flap
there is needed to rotate it and slide flap down or pull it up and attach flap
to the snaps. 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.
(loading example for the lower rack) POWER CLEAN® Power Clean® uses the
special water jets in the rear of the cavity to wash more intensively the
highly dirty items. The lower rack has a Space Zone, a special pull-out
support in the rear of the rack that can be used to support frying pans or
baking pans in an upright position, thus taking up less space. Placing the
pots/casseroles faced to the Power Clean® component please activate the POWER
CLEAN® on the panel. How to use the Power Clean®: 1. Adjust the Power Clean®
area G folding
down the rear plate holders to load pots. 2. Load pots and casseroles inclined
vertically
in the Power Clean® area. Pots have to be inclined towards the powerful water
jets.
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 the
dishwasher with clogged filters or foreign objects inside the filtration
system or spray arms may cause unit malfunction resulting in loss of
performance, noisy work or higher resources usage. The filter assembly
consists of three filters which 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). It is important when reinstalling the filter that the two triangles
shown on the zoom meet. 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 (shown by an arrow) (Fig 4). After cleaning the filters, replace
the filter assembly and fix it in position correctly; this is essential for
maintaining the efficient operation of the dishwasher.
