Salt .......
Salt
The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If
hard water is used in the dishwasher, deposits will form on
the dishes and utensils.
The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses
a salt specifically designed to eliminate lime and  minerals
from the water.
Loading the Salt into the Softener
Always use salt intended for use with dishwashers.
The salt container is located beneath the lower rack and
should be filled as follows:
1. Remove the lower rack
and then unscrew and
remove the cap from the
salt container;
2. If you are filling the
container for the first time,
fill it with water;
3. Place the end of the
funnel (supplied) into the
hole and introduce about
2 kg of salt. It is normal
for a small amount of
water to come out of the salt container.
4. Carefully screw the cap back on.
The salt container should be filled up when the low salt
indicator light E flashes. Once you have loaded the salt for
the first time, it is normal that the low salt indicator light
stays on or flashes for about  5 consecutive cycles.
To prevent the formation of rust, load the salt just before
beginning a wash cycle.Adjusting Salt Consumption
The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjusting the amount
of salt consumed based on the harness of the water used.
This is intended to optimize and
customize the level of salt con-
sumption so that it remains at a
minimum.
Your Local Water Board can
supply the degree of hardness
of the water
in your area.
To adjust salt consumption, pro-
ceed as follows:
1) Unscrew the cap from the salt
container.
2) There is a ring on the container with an arrow on it (see
figure to the side), if necessary, rotate the ring in the anti-
clockwise direction from the _ setting towards the +
sign, based on the hardness of the water being used.
It is recommended that adjustments be made in accord-
ance with the following schema:

Detergent and Rinse Aid ....
Detergent
Detergent specifically intended for use with dishwashers
must be used. The dispenser must be refilled before the
start of each wash cycle following the instructions provided
in the Wash Cycle Table. The detergent dispenser is
located on the inside panel of the door.
Loading the detergent
To open lid A, press button B. The cleaning detergent
should be introduced  into the two containers Cand D
up to the rim.
After pouring in the detergent, replace the lid, pressing
down until it clicks.
Dishwasher detergent in tablets is now available on the
market, in which case you should place one tablet into
container D and replace the lid.
Notice: To facilitate closing the cover, remove any
excess detergent on the edges of the dispenser.Rinse Aid
This product makes dishes sparkle more as it improves their
drying. The rinse aid container is situated on the inside of the
appliance door; you should refill it when you see the container
is empty by means of indicator  “D”.
(If your dishwasher is fitted with a “low rinse aid” indicator
light, fill the container up when the indicator light flashes or
lights up).
Loading the Rinse Aid
To open the dispenser, turn the C cap in the anti-clockwise
direction and then pour in the rinse aid, making sure not to
overfill. The amount of rinse aid used for each cycle can be
regulated by turning the F dose adjustor, located beneath
the C cap, with a screwdriver.  There are 6 different
settings; the normal dosage setting is   4.
Important:
Proper dosage of the rinse aid improves drying.
If drops of water remain on the dishes or spotting occurs,
the dosage adjustor should be turned to a higher setting.  If
the dishes have white streaks, turn the dosage adjustor to a
lower setting.

Warning
Three-in-one dishwasher tablets are now available on the market, and combine detergent, salt and rinse aid all in one.
If the water in your area is hard or very hard, we still recommend you pour extra salt into the relevant dispenser to prevent
the formation of white streaks on your dishes or on the interior of the appliance.
Using a three-in-one product means it is no longer necessary to put rinse aid into the relevant container.
If you want to achieve perfectly dry dishes, you may add rinse aid as long as the dosage adjuster is set to no.2.
In any case, please read the manufacturers instructions on the packet.
If you use only these products, it is normal for the salt and rinse aid indicator lights to flash permanently after a certain
number of cycles.

Loading the Dishwasher
Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove the
larger food particles to prevent the filter from becoming
clogged, which results in reduced performance.
If the pots and pans have baked-on food that is extremely
hard to remove, we recommend that they be allowed to
soak before they are washed. This will eliminate the need
for extra wash cycles.
Pull out the racks to facilitate loading the dishwasher.
How to Use the Lower Rack
We recommend that you place the most difficult to clean
items on the bottom rack: pots, pans, lids, serving dishes
and bowls, as shown in the figure to the right.
It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the
sides of the racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation
of the top spray arm.
- Pots, serving bowls, etc. must always be placed top
down.
- Deep pots should be slanted to allow the water to flow
out.
- Silverware should be placed in the silverware basket.
insert the cutlery into the basket: 
knives and utensils with
sharp blades or tips should be positioned with the sharp
parts at the bottom.
- If the rack has side baskets, the spoons should be loaded
individually into the appropriate slots.
Position all cutlery items so that they dont touch.
- Especially long utensils should be placed in the
horizontal position at the front of the upper rack.
How to Use the Upper Rack
The upper rack is designed to hold more delicate and
lighter dishware, such as glasses, coffee and tea cups
and saucers, as well as plates, small bowls and shallow
pans (as long as they are not too dirty).
- Position the dishes and cookware so that they do not
get moved by the spray of water.
How to adjust the Upper rack ...
The top rack can be adjusted using the two rack heights
(top and bottom). To adjust the rack, open up the tabs
that lock the guides and pull out the rack. Arrange the
rack with the back wheels in either the top or bottom
position and then insert it along the guides until the front
wheels are on as well. Close the tabs to lock the rack in
place (see Fig. F)

Starting the Appliance
Starting a wash cycle....
After performing all the operations described in the previous
paragraphs, turn the water tap on completely, open the
appliance door and press ON-OFF button A: indicator light
B comes on. Your appliance is now on and awaiting
instructions.
Setting and Starting a Wash Cycle
Select the wash cycle by pressing button P. Each time this
button is pressed, one of the indicator lights G will come
on in sequence, select the wash cycle you deem most
suitable for the type of dishes to wash (take a look at page
7, where you will find the wash cycle table). Close the
appliance door and after a few seconds, you will hear a
short beep: the wash cycle has begun.
Cancelling or modifying a cycle while underway...
Premise: A cycle that is underway can only be modified if it
has only been running for a short time.
Open the appliance door carefully to avoid any hot water
splashes, then keep button P pressed for approximately 5
seconds, until you hear 3 short beeps. Indicator light G
will come off and at this point, all the settings will have
been cancelled. You are now free to re-set the correct wash
cycle.
If you forget to load some of the dishes...
Interrupt the wash cycle by opening the appliance door with
the utmost care, as usual, then insert the dish you had
forgotten. When you shut the appliance door, the cycle will
start up from where you interrupted it. restart at the point
where it left off.Theres been a power failure? Have you opened the
dishwasher door?
The wash cycle stops and then restarts when the electricity
comes back on or when you close the door.
At the end of the wash cycle...
The end of the wash cycle is indicated by a double beep and
the flashing of the wash cycle indicator light G.
Open the dishwasher door and:
Warning:
Turn the appliance off by pressing button “A”, unplug
the appliance from the electricity socket to cut off the
power supply; the power supply cable should
consequently be easily accessible.
- Turn off the water tap.
-  Wait a few minutes before unloading the dishes: they are
very hot! If you wait a little while, they dry better thanks to
the steam.
- Empty the lower rack first.
Make sure the wash cycle has ended before removing the
dishes!
Warning
If opening the door soon after the end of the programme,or
during it, stand away from the Dishwasher, to avoid possible
injury from hot steam.

Energy Saving Tips
- It is important to try and run the dishwasher when it is fully
loaded in order to save on energy. In order to prevent odors
from forming and food from caking onto the dishes, you
can run the hold cycle.
- Choose the right wash cycle: the choice of cycle depends
on the type of dishware, cookware and utensils being
washed and how dirty they are.- Use the right amount of detergent: if you use too much
detergent, the result will not be cleaner dishes, but, rather,
a greater negative impact on the environment.
- There is no utility in rinsing dishes, cookware and utensils
before placing them in the dishwasher.
How to Keep Your Dishwasher in Shape
After Every Wash
After every wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance
and leave the door slightly ajar so that moisture and odors
are not trapped inside.
Remove the Plug
Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove
the plug from the socket. Do not run risks.
No Solvents or Abrasive Cleaning Products
To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do
not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. Rather, use
only a cloth and warm soapy water.
To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior,
use a cloth dampened with water and a little white vinegar,
or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.When You Go on Holiday
When you go on holiday, it is recommended that you run a
wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and then remove
the plug from the socket, turn off the water supply and
leave the door of the appliance slightly ajar. This will help
the seals last longer and prevent odors from forming within
the appliance.
Moving the Appliance
If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in the vertical
position. If absolutely necessary, it can be positioned on its
back.
Seals
One of the factors that cause odors to form in the dishwasher
is food that remains trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning
with a damp sponge will prevent this from occuring.
The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household
electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be
collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on
human health and the environment.
The crossed out wheeled bin symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of the
appliance it must be separately collected.
Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.
