 In case that the door is opened during the operation, to the next door 
closing it is going to be necessary to start the program as shown in 
paragraph “STARTING THE PROGRAM”. The program will resume from the 
point in which it was interrupted. 
In case that the tub temperature is higher than 50°C the program 
will start about 60 seconds later.    OPTION SELECTION 
Options are selected by pressing the relative button by the symbol of the 
option required; the light comes on to confirm that the option has been 
activated. 
• It is not possible to select any options when the soak 
program is being used. 
• All options except Flexi Tabs are disabled at the end of the 
wash cycle. To disable the “Flexi Tabs” option, press the 
relative button (the light goes out). 
•  All options, including Flexi Tabs are disabled when a 
program is CANCELLED after it has begun. 
 
 
Flexi Tabs 
The option is optimised for use of detergents which are complete with 
salt and rinse aid.  With this option activated, any salt and rinse aid If you 
wish to use detergents which already contain salt and rinse aid already 
in the dishwasher will not be used.  
 - N.B.: even with the Flexi Tabs option selected, the 
regenerating salt/rinse aid lights will still stay on if their 
containers are empty. 
 IMPORTANT: when no longer required, the option must be disabled by 
pressing the relative button (the light goes out).

If the water hardness has been set on a value above H3, and the “Flexi 
Tabs” option is activated, the relative  light flashes, warning of a setting 
error. Integrated products are not suitable for use with very hard water; 
this does not prevent the use of the option, but the washing results 
might not be of the best.  
 
HYCLEAN  Increases the temperature of the final hot rinse to 70°C to ensure a further 
reduction in the bacteria level. If the temperature in the tank falls during 
this stage of the program (e.g. because the door is opened or due to a 
power blackout), the light of the option and the program lights flash to warn 
that the additional washing phase has not been completed successfully. 
This does not mean that the wash program has been less effective than 
usual.
  
 
SPREAD HALF LOAD 
Suitable when there are not many dishes to be washed, it saves energy 
and reduces the program duration.  Place dishes in both baskets then 
load the detergent dispenser than less than the normal amount for a full 
load.
  
 
 PROGRAM DELAY 
The PROGRAM DELAY button can be pressed to delay the start of the 
washing program by from 1 to 12/24 hours depending on the model. This 
option allows the dishwasher to be operated at the time of day of the users 
choice. The first time the PROGRAM DELAY button is pressed the option 
light comes on and 1:h appears on the DISPLAY (9). The button can then 
be pressed again, to set the delay required (
2:h, 3:h, … etc.). If no button is 
pressed for a few seconds, the DISPLAY (9) shows the time left (time 
remaining) to the end of the selected program (e.g. 
5:40, duration of the 
washing cycle + program delay). When the user confirms the program start 
(read the relative section) a prewash will be carried out, after which the 
PROGRAM DELAY set will begin, and the time remaining on the DISPLAY 
will gradually be counted down. At the end of the delay set, the option light 
goes out and the washing cycle starts. 
 
• N.B.: It is not possible to select the PROGRAM DELAY option once 
the cycle has begun.

 TO SAVE ON ENERGY! … AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT  
• Always try to run the dishwasher fully loaded. 
• Do not wash the dishes in running water. 
• Use the washing program that is most appropriate for each type of 
load. 
• Do not carry out any preliminary rinsing. 
• If available, connect the dishwasher to a hot water supply up to 
60°C.  TO CUT DOWN ON DETERGENT CONSUMPTION! … AND PROTECT 
THE ENVIRONMENT  The phosphates contained in dishwasher detergents are harmful to the 
environment. To avoid using excessive amounts of detergent and to 
save on electricity, observe the following:  • separate the more delicate items from dishes that are more 
resistant to aggressive detergents and high temperatures; 
• do not pour  the detergent directly on the dishes.    REMOVING THE DISHES 
At the end of the washing program, wait at least 20 minutes before 
removing the dishes, to allow them to cool down. To prevent any water 
droplets on the upper basket from falling on the dishes in the lower 
basket, it is advisable to unload the lower basket first, and then the 
upper basket.

4. Operating instructions  
 
 
Once the dishwasher has been correctly installed, prepare for use as 
follows: 
 •  Adjust the water softening system; (present only on some models) 
•  Add the regenerating salt; 
(only on some models) 
•  Add the rinse aid and detergent. 
 
 
4.1 Using the water softening system (only on some models)  
 
 
 
 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 automatic 
softening system which uses a special 
regenerating salt to reduce the hardness 
of the water. 
The dishwasher is factory set for water 
hardness level 3 (average hardness  
41-60°dF – 24-31°dH).   
 
 
 
When using water of medium hardness, the regenerating salt container 
should be refilled after approximately 20 washing cycles. The salt 
container can hold approximately 1.7 Kg of salt in grains. The container 
is situated at the bottom of the dishwasher. After removing the lower 
basket, unscrew the salt container cap by turning it anticlockwise and 
pour in the salt using the funnel supplied with the dishwasher. Before 
replacing the cap, remove any salt residues from around the opening. 
 
 
 
  
 • When using the dishwasher for the first time, in addition to the salt it 
is also necessary to add one litre of water to the container.  
• Each time the salt container is refilled, make sure that the cap is 
securely closed. The mixture of water and detergent must never 
penetrate the salt container, as this would compromise the operation 
of the regeneration system. In the event of this occurring, the 
warranty will be invalidated.  
• Only use regenerating salt specially formulated for domestic 
dishwashers. If using salt tablets, do not fill the container 
completely.
