 If the door has to be opened while washing is in progress, the program 
will be interrupted. The relative light will keep flashing and a beeper will 
signal that the cycle has not been completed. You must wait about 1 
minute before closing the door to restart the program. When the door is 
closed the program will continue from where it was interrupted. This 
operation should only be carried out if strictly necessary, because it 
might cause problems in execution of the...

4. Operating instructions  
 
 
Once the dishwasher has been correctly installed, prepare for use as 
follows: 
 •  Adjust the water softening system; 
•  Add the regenerating salt; 
•  Add the rinse aid and detergent. 
 
 
4.1 Using the water softening system  
 
 
 
 The amount of scale contained in the 
water (water hardness index) can cause 
whitish staining on the dry dishes, which 
tend to become dull over time. The 
dishwasher is equipped with an...

• Do not use table salt as it contains insoluble substances which, 
over time, may damage the water softening system.  
• When necessary, refill the regenerating salt container before 
starting the washing program. In this way, the excess saline 
solution will be immediately removed by the water; the prolonged 
presence of salt water inside the tank may lead to corrosion.   
 
 Be careful not to confuse the salt and detergent packages; adding 
detergent to the...

 ADDING THE RINSE AID
 The rinse aid helps the dishes dry faster and 
prevents the formation of scale deposits and 
staining; it is automatically added to the water 
during the final rinse cycle, from the container 
situated on the inner side of the door. 
 
 
To add rinse aid: 
•  Open the door. 
•  Rotate the container cap anticlockwise by ¼ of a turn and remove it. 
•  Add the rinse aid until the container is full (approximately 140 cc).

extra detergent must be placed in the cavity G/H (depending on 
models). 
• Use only detergents specially formulated for dishwashers. For 
optimal washing results it is important to use...

 Flexi Tabs 
If you wish to use detergents which already contain salt and rinse aid, 
check whether your dishwasher is fitted with the Flexi Tabs option 
button on the Controls description page and then refer to the 
section which explains how to use this function. 
If the button is not provided, we recommend the use of conventional 
products (separate detergent, salt and rinse aid), because with 
conventional washing cycles integrated products might create...

 WARNING! 
 
• Make sure that the dishes are securely in place so that they cannot 
tip over or obstruct the rotation of the spray arms during the 
washing cycle. 
• Do not place very small objects in the baskets as these could fall 
and obstruct the spray arms or the wash pump. 
• Containers such as cups, bowls, glasses and pots should always 
be loaded with the opening facing downwards and with any cavities 
at an angle, to allow the water to drain...

4.4 Using the baskets  The dishwasher has a capacity of 13 place-settings, including serving 
dishes. 
 
 LOWER BASKET The lower basket receives the full force of the lower spray arm, and 
should therefore be used for the “toughest” items with a heavier degree 
of soiling.  All types and combinations of loads are 
permitted, provided that the dishes, pots and 
pans are arranged with all the soiled surfaces 
exposed to the water jets coming from the 
bottom. 
  With fixed...
