First use
Set the water softener
The dishwasher is equipped with a
water softener designed to remove
minerals and salts from the water
supply, which would have a
detrimental or adverse effect on the
operation of the appliance.
The higher the content of these
minerals and salts, the harder your
water is.
Water hardness is measured in
equivalent scales, German degrees
(°dH), French degrees (°TH) and
mmol/l (millimol per litre - international
unit for the hardness of water).
The softener should be adjusted
according to the hardness of the
water in your area. Your local Water
Authority can advise you on the
hardness of the water in your area.
*no salt is necessary

Filling with dishwasher salt
Only use salt specifically designed for
use in dishwashers.
All other types of salt not specifically
designed for use in a dishwasher,
especially table salt, will damage the
water softener.
Only fill with salt just before starting
one of the complete washing
programmes. 
This will prevent any grains of salt or
salty water, which may have been
spilt, remaining on the bottom of the
machine for any period of time, which
may cause corrosion.
To fill:
1. Open the door, remove the lower
basket and unscrew the cap of the
salt container by turning it
anticlockwise.
2. Pour 1 litre of water inside the
container (this is necessary only
before filling with salt for the
first time).
3. Using the funnel provided, pour in
the salt until the container is full.
4. Replace the cap making sure that
there is no trace of salt on the
screw thread or on the gasket.
5. Replace the cap tightly turning it
clockwise until it stops with a click.
Do not worry if water overflows from
the unit when filling with salt, this is
quite normal.

Filling with rinse aid
Rinse aid ensures thorough rinsing,
and spot and streak free drying. 
Rinse aid is automatically added
during the last rinse.
1. Open the container by pressing
the release button (A). 
2. Add the rinse aid in the container.
The maximum level for filling is
indicated by "max". 
The dispenser holds about 110 ml of
rinse aid, which is sufficient for
between 16 and 40 dishwashing
cycles, depending upon the dosage
setting. According to the finish and drying
results obtained, adjust the dose of
rinse aid by means of the 6 position
selector (position 1 minimum dosage,
position 6 maximum dosage). 
The dose is factory set in position 4.
Increase the dose if there are drops of
water or lime spots on the dishes after
washing.
Reduce it if there are sticky whitish
streaks on the dishes or a bluish film
on glassware or knife blades.
3. Ensure that the lid is closed after
every refill.
Clean up any rinse aid spilt during
filling with an absorbent cloth to
avoid excess foaming during the
next wash. 
Only use branded rinse aid for
dishwashers. 
Never fill the rinse aid dispenser
with any other substances (e.g.
dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid
detergent). This would damage the
appliance.

Check if it’s necessary to refill with
dishwasher salt or rinse aid
Load cutlery and dishes into the
dishwasher.
Fill with dishwasher detergent .
Select a wash programme suitable
for the cutlery and dishes.
Start the wash programme.
Loading cutlery and dishes
Sponges, household cloths and any
object that can absorb water may not
be washed in the dishwasher.
Before loading the dishes, you
should:
- Remove all left over food and 
debris.
- Soften remnants of burnt food in 
pans
When loading the dishes and
cutlery, please note:
- Dishes and cutlery must not 
impede the rotation of the spray 
arms .
- Load hollow items such as cups, 
glasses, pans, etc. with the 
opening downwards so that water
cannot collect in the container or 
a deep base.
- Dishes and items of cutlery must 
not lie inside one another, or 
cover each other.
- To avoid damage to glasses, they 
must not touch.
Daily use
- Lay small objects in the cutlery 
basket.
Plastic items and pans with non
stick coatings have a tendency to
retain water drops; these items will
not dry as well as porcelain and
steel items.
Light items (plastic bowls etc.)
must be loaded in the upper
basket and arranged so they do
not move.

For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery and dishes
are not suitable: - Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or mother-of-
pearls handles.
- Plastic items that are not heat resistant.
- Older cutlery with glued parts that are not
temperature resistant.
- Bonded cutlery items or dishes.
- Pewter or copper items.
- Lead crystal glass.
- Steel items prone to rusting.
- Wooden platters.
- Items made from synthetics fibres.
are of limited suitability:
- Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it is
specially marked as being dishwasher-safe by the
manufacturer.
- Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed
frequently.
- Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to
discolour during washing: Residues, e.g. egg
white, egg yolk and mustard often cause
discolouring and staining on silver. Therefore
always clean left-overs from silver immediately, if
it is not to be washed straight after use.

cutlery etc.

To make loading of the cutlery basket
easier, lower the cutlery basket
handle (fig.2).
For best results we recommend you
to use the cutlery grids. 
If the size and dimensions of the cutlery
do not allow the use of the grids, they
can be easily hidden (fig. 3).The cutlery basket
Long bladed knives stored in an
upright position are a potential
hazard.
Long and/or sharp items of cutlery
such as carving knives must be
positioned horizontally in the upper
basket.
Take care when loading or
unloading sharp items such as
knives.
Forks and spoons should be placed in
the removable cutlery basket with the
handles facing downwards and the
knives with their handles facing
upwards (fig.1). 
If the handles protrude from the
bottom of the basket, obstructing the
lower spray arm, load the cutlery with
the handles facing upwards.
Mix spoons with other cutlery to
prevent them from sticking together.

The cutlery basket is in two parts
which can be separated to give
greater loading flexibility. To separate
the two parts, slide them horizontally
in opposite directions and pull them
apart (fig. 4). 
To reassemble, reverse the
procedure.
