To save energy
Place dishes in the machine immediately after every meal and
wait until the dishwasher is full before washing.
If necessary run the Rinse and Hold programme (see
"Washing Programmes" chart) so that any food scraps do not
become caked on the dishes while you are waiting to run the
complete wash programme.
Do not prewash dishes under running water.
Select an economic programme when dishes are not very
soiled, following the instructions given in the "Washing
programmes" chart.
For best washing results
Before loading, remove all scraps of food and soak very
heavily soiled pots and pans.
Arrange saucepans, cups and glasses etc. upside-down.
Tilt items with convex or concave surfaces so that the water
drains off easily.
Avoid contact between the dishes as far as possible.
Items not suitable for dishwashers
The following items should not be washed in the
dishwasher (unless they are sold as dishwasher proof):
- Cutlery with wooden or horn handles or glued parts
- bronze cutlery
- saucepans with wooden handles
- aluminium ware
- crystal ware
- leaded glass
- plastic items
- antique or fine decorated china
Certain types of decoration can discolour when washed in a
dishwasher.
Crystal-ware and plastic objects, if not guaranteed dishwasher
proof should be washed by hand.
Certain types of glass can also become opaque
after being washed several times in a dishwasher.
A chemical reaction can occur between silver cutlery and
stainless steel cutlery. As a precaution, do not wash together.
Iron and cast iron objects can rust and stain other items.
Aluminium tends to go black, copper, pewter and
brass tend to stain.
If in doubt check with manufacturer of the item.
When buying new dishes, ensure that they are dishwasher
proof.
Hints and tips
Before using your dishwasher for the
first time
1. Ensure that the electrical and water connections
comply with the installation instructions
2. Remove all packaging from inside the appliance
3. Fill the rinse aid dispenser.
Rinse aid
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring
thorough rinsing, spot and streak free drying. The dispenser,
which is positioned inside the door, holds about 110 ml of rinse
aid, which is sufficient for 16 - 40 dishwashing programmes,
depending upon the dosage setting.
Filling with rinse aid
1. Open the container by turning the lid (A) anticlockwise.
2. Add the rinse aid until the container is completely full.
The indicator (B) will be completely dark.
3. Top up the rinse aid when the indicator (B) becomes clear.
Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill.
Do not put liquid detergent in the rinse aid compartment. Clean
up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an absorbent cloth to
avoid excess foaming during the next wash.
Adjusting the dose
According to the finish and drying results obtained, adjust the
dose of rinse aid by means of the 6 position selector (C)
(position 1 minimum dosage, position 6 maximum dosage).
Increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on
the dishes after washing. Reduce it if there are sticky whitish
streaks on the dishes.

Loading your appliance
Before placing dishes in the machine, remove any scraps of
food, to avoid clogging the filters and consequently reducing
the performance.
Do not load very small items which can fall through the
baskets.
The lower basket
The lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates,
salad bowls, cutlery etc.
Serving dishes and large lids should be arranged around the
edge of the basket, ensuring that the upper spray arm can turn
freely.
The two rear rows of prongs on the lower basket can be easily
lowered to allow you to load pots, pans and bowls.
To lower the prongs:
- Slightly pull them upward and let them drop down (see
picture).
- To bring them back to the standing position, just pull them up
again.
The cutlery basket
Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a
potential hazard.
Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives
must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket.
Take care when loading or unloading sharp items such as
knives.
Cutlery should be placed in the removable cutlery basket with
the handles facing downwards.
If the handles protrude from the bottom of the basket,
obstructing the lower spray
arm, load the cutlery with the
handles facing upwards.
Mix spoons with other cutlery
to prevent them from sticking
together.
Arrange spoons, dessert
spoons, teaspoons, knives
and other small items of
cutlery in the racks on both
sides of the cutlery basket.
The upper basket
The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates,
saucers, dinner plates of up to 25 cm in diameter), salad
bowls, cups and glasses.
Arrange items on and
underneath the fold-down
cup racks so that water can
reach all surfaces.
For taller items, the cup
racks can be folded upwards.
Light items (plastic bowls
etc.) must be loaded in the
upper basket and arranged
so they do not move.
In case that plates are loaded in the upper
basket:
load them starting from the
rear positions of the
basket; tilting them slightly
forwards and avoiding the
front positions near the
door.
Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can
rotate freely.
Adjusting the height of the upper basket
If washing very large plates (over 27 cm and up to 31 cm in
diameter) you can load them in the lower basket after moving
the upper basket to the higher position.
In order to carry out the following operations easily we
recommend you to load the upper basket after the adjustment
of the height.
To move to the higher position proceed as follows:
1. Pull out the basket until it stops.
2. Carefully lift the basket upwards (position A).
3. Push slightly downwards (position B).
When the top basket is in the higher position it will only
take plates up to 20 cm in diameter and you will not be
able to use the cup racks.
To lower the basket to the original position
1. Carefully lift the basket upwards (position A), then push
downwards (position C).
After loading your machine always close the door, as an
open door can be a hazard.

Use of detergent
Only use detergents specifically designed for use in
dishwashers.
If using powder detergents proceed as follows:
1. Open the dispenser lid by pulling the catch (D).
2. Add the detergent according to the recommended quantity
given in the "Washing programmes" chart.
As all detergents are not the same, you should also consult
the instructions on the packet.
3. Always close the lid.
4. If the programme has a prewash add the required detergent
over the lid of the dispenser.
Follow the recommended quantity of detergent given in the
"Washing programmes" chart.
If using detergent in tablets proceed as follows:
1. For all programmes; place 1 tablet inside the detergent
dispenser.
2. Always close the lid.
3. For all programmes with prewash; place a portion of a
further tablet on the lid of the detergent dispenser.
Insufficient uantities of detergent will produce poor
washing results, whereas an excessive amount of
detergent will not improve washing results and is also
wasteful.
Using no more than the correct amount also contributes
to reducing pollution.
Attention!
Check that the detergent receptacle is empty after
completion of the wash cycle.
Compact detergents with enzymes
In these compact powders the environmently unfriendly
components have been replaced by natural enzymes and
other more biodegradable substances.
The enzymes deploy their full dirt dissolving power at a
temperature as low as 50°C.
By choosing the "Bio" programmes you can therefore achieve
the same cleaning results that would otherwise be achievable
only with 65°C programmes and conventional detergents.

1. Check the filters
Ensure they are clean and properly positioned (see
"Maintenance and cleaning").
2. Check that there is rinse aid
3. Load the dishes
Remove any scraps of food.
Pull the lower basket out and arrange the saucepans,
plates and cutlery in it.
Pull the upper basket out and arrange the plates,
saucers, glasses and cups etc. in it.
Slide the baskets back into the machine.
4. Ensure that the spray arms can
rotate freely
5. Measure out detergent
Add the required amount of detergent into the dispenser
according to the dosage instructions from the
manufacturer of your brand.
Close the detergent dispenser lid.
6. Set the programme
The selection of the programme occurs with the door
partially opened.
Depress the "On/Off" push button, the "Mains on"
indicator light comes on.
Depress the programme button which corresponds to the
washing programme you wish to select, the
corresponding indicator light will flash.
7. Start the programme
Close the dishwasher door. An audible signal advises
you that the programme has started.
The indicator light which corresponds to the programme
under way is now permanently on.
8. Cancel the wash programme
To change a wash programme in progress depress the
push button corresponding to the programme you wish to
cancel for about 1 second until the relevant indicator light
turns off.
The dishwasher is now reset and you can select a new
programme.
9. At the end of the washing
programme
At the end of the programme the dishwasher will
automatically stop and an intermittent audible signal
informs you that the programme has finished.
The indicator light of the programme will turn off and the
"END OF CYCLE" indicator light starts flashing.
The MAINS ON indicator light remains on until the
"On/Off" push button is depressed.
10. Switch off the dishwasher
Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the "On/Off" push
button and open the door.
Wait a few minutes before removing the dishes; in this
way they will be cooler and the drying will be improved.
Empty the lower basket first and then the upper one; this
will avoid water dripping from the upper basket onto the
dishes in the lower one.
When the washing programme has finished, it is
recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and the
water tap turned off.
In general it is not advisable to open the door while the
machine is working; if the door is opened however, a
safety device ensures that the machine stops.
Important!
Care must be taken if the door is opened during the hot
phase or immediately after a programme has finished, as
steam may escape.

Internal cleaning
Ensure that the seals around the door, the detergent and rinse
aid dispensers are cleaned regularly with a damp cloth.
We recommend every 3 months to run a 65°C wash
programme without dishes using detergent.
Cleaning the central filter
(After each wash)
Scraps of food may accumulate in the drain filter (A) and
should be removed by rinsing the filter under running water.
To remove the drain filter
- simply pull it out by the handle.
Once cleaned, refit the filter by pushing it back to its original
position until it engages.
Cleaning the large filter
(Every week)
If necessary clean the large filter (B) on both sides under
running water, using a brush.
To remove the large filter
1. Remove the spray arm by pulling it upwards on one side.
2. Turn the column (C) anticlockwise by 0° and then slide out
the filter.
3. Once cleaned refit it following the above instructions in
reverse order.
4. Ensure the filter is in its original position, the handle of the
drain filter should be pointing towards the front of the
appliance.
The dishwasher must not be used without filters.
Incorrect repositioning and fitting of the filters will
produce poor washing results.
Cleaning the filters is vital to ensure correct operation of
the machine.
External cleaning
Clean the external surfaces of the machine and control panel
with a damp soft cloth. If necessary use only neutral
detergents. Never use abrasive products, scouring pads or
solvent (acetone, trichloroethylene etc....).
Prolonged periods of non-operation
If you are not using the machine for any period of time you
are advised to:
1. Unplug the appliance and then turn off the water.
2. Fill the rinse aid dispenser.
3. Leave the door ajar to prevent the formation of any
unpleasant smells.
4. Leave the inside of the machine clean.
Frost precautions
Avoid placing the machine in a location where the temperature
is below 0°C. If this is unavoidable, empty the machine, close
the appliance door, disconnect the water inlet pipe and empty
it.
Moving the machine
If you have to move the machine (moving house etc....):
1. Unplug it.
2. Turn the water tap off.
3. Remove the water inlet and discharge hoses.
4. Pull the machine out together with the hoses.
Avoid over tilting the machine during transportation.
