EN  
! If using a multi-functional product (2-in-1, 3-in-1, 4-in-1)  
it is not necessary to add rinse aid; however, we  
recommend that you add salt, especially if you live in

Rinse aid makes it easier for the crockery to dry, as  
water runs off surfaces more readily and therefore  
does not leave streaks or marks.  
2. For the first wash cycle  
only: fill the dispenser up to  
the edges with water.  
The rinse aid dispenser should be filled:  
3. Position the funnel provided

3. Screw the lid back on.  
Adjusting the amount of salt*  
It is possible to adjust the amount of salt used  
according to the hardness of the water in your area  
(this information is available from your local water  
board).  
Adjusting the amount of rinse aid  
If you are not completely satisfied with the washing  
or drying results, you may adjust the quantity of  
rinse aid used. Use a screwdriver to turn the dosage  
adjuster to one of the 6 pre-set positions (the default  
position is set to 4):  
1. Unscrew the dispenser cap.  
2. Turn the arrow on the neck of the  
dispenser (see figure) towards the  
+ or - symbols, using the table  
below as a guide.  
if there are white streaks on the crockery, set the  
adjuster to a lower number (1-3).  
if drops of water remain on the crockery or there  
are limescale marks present after the cycle has  
finished, set the adjuster to a higher number (4-6).  
! If you are using multi-functional tablets (2-in-1, 3-in-1,  
4-in-1) and you wish to further improve the drying  
performance of the appliance, fill the dispenser and  
set the dosage adjuster to 2.  
Loading the refined salt  
In order to obtain the best possible results from a  
wash cycle, make sure that the dispenser is never  
empty. Refined salt removes limescale from the  
water, thus avoiding the formation of deposits on  
crockery. The salt dispenser is located in the lower  
part of the dishwasher (see Description) and should  
be filled:  
The default setting of the water softening system is +.  
- If using multi-functional tablets (2-in-1, 3-in-1, 4-in-1)  
fill the salt dispenser and set the adjuster to -; if the  
hardness of the water is greater than 60°fH, set it to +.

Care and maintenance  
Shutting off the water and electricity  
supplies  
Cleaning the filters  
EN  
The filters remove food residue from the water used  
in the wash cycle: to obtain the best results from  
each wash, they should be cleaned.  
Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle to  
avoid leaks.  
Remove the plug from the socket when cleaning  
the machine and when carrying out maintenance  
work.  
! Clean the filters regularly.  
! After cleaning check that the filter assembly has  
been replaced correctly.  
Cleaning the dishwasher  
! The dishwasher should not be used without filters.  
The external surfaces of the machine and the  
control panel may be cleaned using a cloth  
dampened with warm soapy water. Do not use  
solvents or abrasive products.

Precautions and advice  
! The appliance was designed and manufactured in  
compliance with current international safety  
standards. The following information has been  
provided for safety reasons and should therefore be  
read carefully.  
Consumers should contact their local authority or  
retailer for information concerning the correct  
disposal of their old appliance.  
EN  
Saving energy and respecting the  
environment  
General safety  
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 according to 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.  
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.  
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 carry out the repair work yourself.  
Never touch the heating element.  
Do not lean or sit on the open door of the  
appliance: this may cause the appliance to  
overturn.  
Keep detergent and rinse aid out of reach of  
children.  
The packaging material should not be used as a  
toy: it can become a choking or suffocation  
hazard.  
Saving water and energy  
Only start a wash cycle when the dishwasher is  
full. While waiting for the dishwasher to be filled,  
prevent unpleasant odours with the Soak cycle  
(see Wash Cycles).  
Select a wash cycle that is suited to the type of  
crockery and to the soil level of the crockery  
using the Wash cycle table:  
- 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).  
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.  
Phosphate-free and chlorine-free detergents  
containing enzymes  
We strongly recommend that you use detergents  
that do not contain phosphates or chlorine, as  
these products are harmful to the environment.  
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.  
Disposal of old electrical appliances  
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.  
To avoid wasting detergent, use the product in  
appropriate quantities based on the  
manufacturers recommendations, the hardness  
of the water and the soil level and quantity of the  
crockery. Even if they are biodegradable,  
detergents contain substances that may alter the  
balance of nature.
