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 S 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.
Warning: To prevent rust from forming, we advise you to
load the salt before starting 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 consumption 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 the low rinse
aid indicator light T flashes.
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 the 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 appliance interior.
Add rinse aid to the corresponding container only if you are dissatisfied with the results on your dishes.
In any case, please read the manufacturers instructions provided 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 racks, remove the largest
scraps of food left over on your plates, you will thus avoid
blocking the filter, which would reduce the efficacy of the
wash.
If the saucepans and frying pans are very dirty, allow them to
soak before being washed.
You will thus avoid having to wash them again.
To make it easier to load your dishes, pull the racks out fully.
How to use the lower rack
We recommend you place the most difficult dishes to wash
into the lower rack: saucepans, lids, soup dishes and plates
(load examples are shown in the photo).
The lower rack has tip-up sectors (see figure B), so you can
place even more saucepans and frying pans or make room
for the larger one
• Serving dishes and large lids: place them on the sides
of the rack.
• Saucepans, salad bowls: must always be placed upside
down.
• Very deep dishes: place them obliquely, thus allowing
water to run down them and cleaning them better.
The cutlery basket (Fig. A)
This basket is equipped with a grids: insert the cutlery one
by one into the slots; 
knives and utensils with sharp blades
or tips should be positioned with the sharp parts at the
bottom.
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).
After loading the dishes, remember to check that the blades
on the sprayer arms can turn freely without knocking
against any dishes.
How to adjust the upper rack ….
The upper rack can be set in a high or low position. There
are two handles on the sides of the upper rack: use these
to adjust its height (see figure C).lower rack upper rackLoad examples

Turning on the Appliance
First of all
Insert the plug into the electricity socket to power the
dishwasher. Turn on the water tap completely and press ON-
OFF button A; the display lights up and the wash cycle
time selected on the knob will flash.
Selecting and starting a wash cycle.
• Select the desired wash cycle by turning knob D
clockwise from wash cycle 1 to 7 and anticlockwise from 7
to 1; the display indicates the average duration of the wash
cycle and the cycle phases it consists of (consult the wash
cycle table contained on page 8, especially when first using
the appliance).
• Press the Start button R and the wash cycle starts up,
emitting a double beep; the approximate amount of time
left until the end of the wash cycle is displayed.
• If the time indicated at the start of the wash cycle does not
correspond to the actual duration of the cycle itself, this could
be for a number of reasons: the temperature of the inlet
water, the degree of soil, prolonged attempts by the appliance
to clean the wash filter from food residue clogging it, etc.
Cycle phase under way indicator
While the wash cycle is under way, the symbols corresponding
to the cycle phases light up in sequence.
Here are the symbols corresponding to each cycle phase:
       Pre-wash     Wash      Rinses        Drying
Cancelling and modifying a wash cycle in progress
Premise: a wash cycle in progress can only be modified if it
hasnt been running for long.
Keep the Reset button R pressed for about 3 seconds:
a prolonged beep will sound, followed by three short beeps.
The cancelled cycle time will flash on the display. Turn the
knob to select a new wash cycle.Youve left out a dish?
You can interrupt a wash cycle by pressing the ON-OFF
button, then place the forgotten dishes into the appliance,
which will start up, after approximately 10 seconds, from
where it was interrupted when you turn it back on.
Theres been a power failure? Has the dishwasher door
been opened?
The wash cycle stops and 3 dashes appear on the display;
the cycle restarts as soon as the electricity comes back on or
when the door is shut.
At the end of the wash cycle
The end of the wash cycle is indicated by two short beeps
and the word END flashes on the display.
• Turn off the water tap.
• Empty the lower rack first.
Make sure the wash cycle has ended before removing the
dishes!
Warning: when you open the dishwasher door after the wash
cycle has just ended or is under way, take care not to scald
yourself with the hot steam.
How to set the extra drying     
Press button E. After a prolonged beep, indicator light
G lights up and the time corresponding to the wash cycle
selected on the knob will flash on the display.
Note: The time indicated on the display is extended due to
the extra drying time.
To disable the extra drying option, press the same button
and indicator light G will be turned off after a  beep is
sounded.
This option is incompatible with the soak cycle.
Warning:
Press button “A” to turn the appliance off, unplug the
appliance from the electricity socket to cut off the power
supply; the power supply cable should consequently be easily
accessible.

Setting a delayed start
How to set a delayed start    
When you have loaded the dishes, you can choose when to
start your dishwasher before setting the wash cycle desired.
• Press button P repeatedly to postpone the start of the
wash cycle from 1 hour to 24h.
• If you press the button again, the word OFF is displayed
(no selection made).
Once you have made your selection, make sure the appliance
door is shut and start the wash cycle by pressing the START
button.
Symbol I lights up on the display and the countdown
begins.
• Once the countdown is up, the wash cycle begins and the
approximate amount of time left until the end of the wash
cycle is displayed.
Warning: if the display indicates the word dON when you turn
your dishwasher on, this means the demo mode is in operation. This
mode is useful for exhibitors in that it simulates the wash cycles
without actually carrying them out.
To quit this mode, keep the START/RESET button R pressed for
approximately 4 seconds. The word dOF will be displayed once
you have quit the demo mode successfully.
Have you changed your mind?
• If you change your mind, you can set a shorter time delay:
press button P to select it. You need not reset the wash
cycle.
• If you have changed your mind and wish to start the wash
cycle immediately, press button P until the countdown is
fully reset. Indicator light I will turn off and the cycle will
start at the sound of a beep.
The indicator light corresponding to the cycle phase under
way will come up on the display and the countdown to the
estimated cycle end begins.
