Anti-flooding protection  
Anti-condensation strip*  
EN  
To ensure floods do not occur, the dishwasher:  
- is provided with a special system which blocks the  
water supply in the event of anomalies or leaks from  
inside the appliance.  
After installing the dishwasher, open the door and stick  
the adhesive transparent strip under the wooden shelf in  
order to protect it from any condensation which may  
form.  
Some models are also equipped with the supplementary  
safety device New Acqua Stop*, which guarantees anti-  
flooding protection even in the event of a supply hose  
rupture.  
Advice regarding the first wash cycle  
After the appliance has been installed, immediately  
before running the first wash cycle, completely fill the  
salt dispenser with water and add only then  
approximately 1 kg of salt (see chapter entitled Rinse aid  
and refined salt). The water may overflow: this is normal  
and is not a cause for concern. Select the water  
hardness value (see chapter entitled Rinse aid and  
refined salt). - After the salt has been poured into the  
machine, the LOW SALT indicator light* switches off.  
WARNING: HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE!  
Under no circumstance should the water inlet hose be  
cut as it contains live electrical parts.

residue remaining in the machine after the cycle  
has ended.  
The use of tablets is only recommended for  
models which offer the MULTI-FUNCTIONAL  
TABLETS option.  
7. Start the wash cycle by shutting the door: after a few  
seconds have passed, a long beep signals the start of  
the wash cycle.  
To achieve the best results from each washing  
and drying cycle, powder detergent, rinse aid  
liquid and salt should be used.  
8. Two short beeps and one long one indicate the end of  
the wash cycle and the indicator light corresponding to  
the wash cycle flashes slowly. Open the door, switch off

3. Screw the lid back on.  
NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the appliance tub.  
Adjusting the amount of rinse aid  
The salt dispenser is located in the lower part of the  
dishwasher (see Description) and should be filled:  
• When the green float*cannot be seen by simply looking at  
the cap of the salt dispenser.  
If you are not completely satisfied with the drying results, you  
may adjust the quantity of rinse aid used. Use a screwdriver  
to turn the dosage adjuster (F) to one of the 6 pre-set  
positions (the default position is set to 4):  
• When the LOW SALT*indicator light on the control panel is  
illuminated;  
• If there are streaks on the crockery, set the adjustment  
device to a lower number (1-3).  
• If drops of water remain on the crockery or if there are  
limescale marks present after the cycle has finished, set the  
adjuster to a higher number (4-6).  
1. Remove the lower rack and unscrew the  
container cap (anticlockwise).  
2. The first time you do this: fill the water  
tank right up to its edge.  
3. Position the funnel*(see figure) and fill  
Setting the water hardness  
the salt container right up to its edge (this should hold  
approximately 1 kg); it is not unusual for a little water to leak  
out.  
Every dishwasher is equipped with a water softener which, by  
using refined salt designed especially for this type of  
appliance, supplies water without limescale which is then used  
to wash the crockery.  
4. Remove the funnel*and wipe any salt residue away from  
the opening; rinse the cap under running water and then  
screw it on, the head facing downwards so as to let the water  
flow out of the four cracks which are arranged in a star shape  
on the lower part of the cap. (Salt cap with green float*)  
It is advisable to perform this procedure every time you  
add salt to the container.  
This dishwasher offers a setting which helps to reduce  
pollution and optimises washing performance in accordance  
with the water hardness level in your area. This information can  
be obtained from the organisation which supplies your  
household with water.  
- Open the door and switch on the machine by pressing the  
ON/OFF button.  
Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly, so that no detergent  
can get into the container during the wash cycle (this could  
damage the water softener beyond repair).  
- Press the P button and hold for approximately 5 seconds;  
two short beeps will sound and the indicator light  
corresponding to the set degree of hardness will flash slowly  
on the control panel (the water softening system is set to  
When necessary, measure out the salt before a wash  
cycle so that any saline solution which has leaked out of the  
salt dispenser is removed.

position.  
Cleaning the filters  
Cleaning the dishwasher  
The filter assembly consists of three filters which remove food  
residues from the washing water and then recirculate the  
water. They should be cleaned if you wish to achieve the best  
results in every wash.  
• The external surfaces of the machine and the control  
panel may be cleaned using a non-abrasive cloth  
which has been dampened with water. Do not use  
solvents or abrasive products.  
Clean the filters regularly.  
• Any marks on the inside of the appliance may be  
removed using a cloth dampened with water and a  
little vinegar.  
The dishwasher should not be used without filters, or if the  
filter is loose.  
• After several washes, check the filter assembly and if  
necessary clean it thoroughly under running water, using a  
non-metallic brush and following the instructions below:  
1. Turn the cylindrical filter C in an anti-clockwise direction  
and pull it out (fig. 1).  
Preventing unpleasant odours  
• Always keep the door of the appliance ajar in order to  
avoid moisture from forming and being trapped inside  
the machine.  
2. Remove the cup filter B by exerting a slight pressure on the  
side flaps (fig. 2).  
• Clean the seals around the door and detergent  
dispensers regularly using a damp sponge. This will  
avoid food becoming trapped in the seals, which is  
the main cause behind the formation of unpleasant  
odours.  
3. Slide out the stainless steel plate filter A (fig. 3).  
4. Inspect the trap and remove any food residue. NEVER  
REMOVE the wash cycle pump (black detail) (fig. 4).  
Cleaning the sprayer arms  
Food residue may become encrusted onto the sprayer  
arms and block the holes used to spray the water. It is  
therefore recommended that the arms are checked from  
time to time and cleaned with a small non-metallic  
brush.

Leaving the machine unused for extended  
periods  
• Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply and  
shut off the water tap.  
Cleaning the water inlet filter*  
If the water hoses are new or have not been used for an  
extended period of time, let the water run to make sure it  
is clear and free of impurities before performing the  
necessary connections. If this precaution is not taken,  
the water inlet could become blocked and damage the  
dishwasher.  
• Leave the door of the appliance ajar.  
• When you return, run a wash cycle when the dishwasher is  
empty.

Precautions and advice  
This appliance was designed and manufactured in  
Saving energy and respecting the  
environment  
EN  
compliance with current international safety standards. The  
following information has been provided for safety reasons  
and should therefore be read carefully.  
Saving water and energy  
• Only begin a wash cycle when the dishwasher is full. While  
waiting for the dishwasher to be filled, prevent unpleasant  
odours using the Soak cycle (see Wash cycles).  
• Select a wash cycle which is suited to the type of crockery  
and to the soil level of the crockery using the Table of wash  
cycles:  
General safety  
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons  
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or  
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,  
unless they have been given supervision or instruction  
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible  
for their safety.  
- For dishes with a normal soil level, use the Eco wash  
cycle, which guarantees low energy and water  
consumption levels.  
- If the load is smaller than usual activate the Half load  
option*(see Start-up and use).  
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not  
play with the appliance.  
• If your electricity supply contract gives details of electricity  
saving time bands, run wash cycles during the periods  
when a lower tariff is applied. The Delayed start*button  
(see Start-up and use) helps you organise the wash cycles  
accordingly.  
• The appliance was designed for domestic use inside the  
home and is not intended for commercial or industrial use.  
• The appliance must be used by adults only, to wash  
domestic crockery in accordance with the instructions in  
this manual.  
• The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even in  
covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the  
machine exposed to rain and storms.  
Phosphate-free and chlorine-free detergents  
containing enzymes  
• Do not touch the appliance when barefoot.  
• When unplugging the appliance always pull the plug from  
the mains socket, do not pull on the cable.  
• We strongly recommend that you use detergents that do  
not contain phosphates or chlorine, as these products are  
harmful to the environment.  
• The water supply tap must be shut off and the plug should  
be removed from the electrical socket before cleaning the  
appliance or carrying out any maintenance work.  
• If the appliance breaks down, do not under any  
circumstances touch the internal parts in an attempt to  
perform the repair work yourself.  
• Enzymes provide a particularly effective action at  
temperatures around 50°C, and as a result detergents  
containing enzymes can be used in conjunction with low-  
temperature wash cycles in order to achieve the same  
results as a normal 65°C wash cycle.  
• Never touch the heating element.  
• To avoid wasting detergent, use the product in appropriate  
quantities based on the manufacturer’s recommendations,  
the hardness of the water and the soil level and quantity of  
crockery to be washed. Even if they are biodegradable,  
detergents contain substances which may alter the balance  
of nature.  
• Do not lean or sit on the open door of the appliance: this  
may cause the appliance to overturn.  
• The door should not be left open as it may create a

• Keep detergent and rinse aid out of reach of children.  
• The packaging material should not be used as a toy.  
Disposal  
• Disposal of packaging materials: observe local legislation  
so that the packaging may be reused.  
• The European Directive 2002/96/EC relating to Waste  
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states that  
household appliances should not be disposed of using the  
normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted appliances  
should be collected separately in order to optimise the cost  
of re-using and recycling the materials inside the machine,  
while preventing potential damage to the atmosphere and  
to public health. The crossed-out dustbin is marked on all  
products to remind the owner of their obligations regarding  
separated waste collection.  
For further information relating to the correct disposal of  
household appliances, owners may contact the relevant  
public authority or the local appliance dealer.
