Product Usage Instructions

Before using the appliance, carefully read the Health and
Safety guide in the user manual.
During installation, ensure that the appliance is kept in an
upright position. If necessary, it may be tilted onto its
back.
Connecting the water supply should only be performed by a
qualified technician. The water inlet and outlet hoses can be
positioned towards the right or left for optimal installation. Make
sure not to bend or squash the hoses with the dishwasher.
The water inlet hose should not be cut as it contains live
electrical parts.
Before inserting the plug into the electrical socket, ensure
that the electrical connection is correct.
Connect the outlet hose to a drain duct with a minimum diameter
of 2 cm. The outlet hose connection should be at a height ranging
from 40 to 80 cm from the floor or surface where the dishwasher
rests. Remove the plastic plug before connecting the water outlet
hose to the sink drain.
The dishwasher is equipped with an anti-flooding protection
system that blocks the water supply in case of anomalies or leaks.
Some models have a supplementary safety device called New Aqua Stop
for added protection. Do not cut the water inlet hose.
Position the dishwasher on a level sturdy floor. Adjust the
front feet of the appliance if the floor is uneven to reach a
horizontal position. This will ensure stability and reduce
vibrations and noise during operation.
If recessing the dishwasher, stick the adhesive transparent
strip under the wooden shelf to protect it from condensation.
Place the dishwasher so that its sides or back panel are in
contact with adjacent cabinets or the wall. It can also be recessed
under a single worktop.
To adjust the height of the rear foot, use a hexagonal spanner
with an opening of 8 mm. Turn it clockwise to increase the height
and anticlockwise to decrease it.

Position the funnel (see figure) and fill the salt reservoir right up to its edge (approximately 1 kg); it is not unusual for some water will spill out.
Remove the funnel and wipe any salt residue away from the opening.

Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly, so that no detergent can get into the container during the wash program (this could damage the water softener beyond repair). Once done, proceed to the next step by pressing,,SET” button.
Only use salt that has been specifically designed for dishwashers.
Whenever you need to add salt, it is mandatory to complete the procedure before the beginning of the washing cycle. Residual saline solution or grains of salt can lead to corrosion, irreparably damaging the stainless steel components. The guarantee is not applicable if faults are caused by such circumstances. If the salt container is not lled, the water softener and the heating element may be damaged as a result.

ADDING A DETERGENT
Only use detergent which has been speci cally designed for dishwashers.
To achieve the best washing and drying results, the combined use of detergent, rinse aid liquid and refined salt is required. We recommend using detergents that do not contain phosphates or chlorine, as these products are harmful to the environment.
Good washing results also depend on the correct amount of detergent being used. Exceeding the stated amount does not result in a more effective wash and increases environmental pollution. The amount can be adjusted to the soil level. In the case of normally soiled items, use approximately either 35g (powder detergent) or 35ml (liquid detergent) and additional tea spoon of detergent directly inside the tub. If tablets are used, one tablet will be enough. If the crockery is only lightly soiled or if it has been rinsed with water before being placed in the dishwasher, reduce the amount of detergent used accordingly (minimum 25 g/ml) e.g. skip the powder/gel putted inside the tub.

To open the detergent dispenser, press button A. Introduce the detergent into the dry dispenser B only. Place the amount of detergent for pre-washing directly inside the tub. B
1. When measuring out the deter- A gent refer to the mentioned earlier information to add the proper quantity. Inside the dispenser B there are indications to help the detergent dosing.
2. Remove detergent residues from the edges of the dispenser and close the cover until it clicks.
3. Close the lid of the detergent dispenser by pulling it up until the closing device is secured in place.
The detergent dispenser automatically opens up at the right time according to the program.
If you are using a All-in-one detergents, we recommend that you add salt in any case, especially if the water is hard or very hard (follow the instructions given on the packaging).

ADVICE AND TIPS

TIPS Before loading the baskets, remove all food residues from the crockery and empty the glasses. You do not need to rinse beforehand under running water. Arrange the crockery so that it is held in place firmly and does not tip over; and arrange the containers with the openings facing downwards and the concave/convex parts placed obliquely, thus allowing the water to reach every surface and flow freely. Warning: lids, handles, trays and frying pans do not prevent the sprayer arms from rotating. Place any small items in the cutlery basket. Very soiled dishes and pans should be placed in the lower basket because in this sector the water sprays are stronger and allow a higher washing performance. After loading the appliance, make sure that the sprayer arms can cotate freely.
HYGIENE To avoid odour and sediment which can be accumulated in the dishwasher please run a high temperature program at least once a month. Use a tea spoon of detergent and run it without the loading to clean your appliance.

UNSUITABLE CROCKERY · Wooden crockery and cutlery. · Delicate decorated glasses, artistic handicraft and antique crockery.
Their decorations are not resistant. · Parts in synthetic material which do not withstand high temperatures. · Copper and tin crockery. · Crockery soiled with ash, wax, lubricating grease or ink. The colours of glass decorations and aluminium/silver pieces can change and fade during the washing process. Some types of glass (e.g. crystal objects) can become opaque after a number of wash cycles too.
DAMAGE TO GLASS AND CROCKERY · Only use glasses and porcelain guaranteed by the manufacturer as
dishwasher safe. · Use a delicate detergent suitable for crockery · Collect glasses and cutlery from the dishwasher as soon as the wash
cycle is over.

LOADING THE RACKS
CUTLERY RACK
The third rack was designed tohouse the cutlery. Arrange the cutlery as shown in the figure. A separate arrangement of the cutlery makes collection easier after washing and improves washing and drying performance.
Knives and other utensils with sharp edges must be positioned with the blades facing downwards.
The geometry of the rack makes it possible to place such small items as coffee cups in the area in the middle.

The cutlery basket is equipped with two sliding side trays to make the most of the height of the space below and enable the loading of high items into upper rack.

UPPER RACK
Load delicate and light dishes:glasses, cups, saucers, low salad bowls. The upper rack has tip-up supports which can be used in a vertical position when arranging tea/ dessert saucers or in a lower position to load bowls and food containers.
(loading example for the upper rack)
FOLDABLE FLAPS WITH ADJUSTABLE POSITION The side foldable flaps can be positioned at three different heights to optimize the arrangement of crockery inside the rack. Wine glasses can be placed safely in the foldable flaps by inserting the stem of each glass into the corresponding slots. For optimum drying results incline the foldable flaps more. To change the inclination, pull up the foldable flap, slide it slightly and position it as you wish.

ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE UPPER RACK The height of the upper rack can be adjusted: high position to place bulky crockery in the lower basket and low position to make the most of the tip-up supports by creating more space upwards and avoid collision with the items loaded into lower rack. The upper rack is equipped with a Upper Rack height adjuster (see figure), without pressing the levers, lift it up by simply holding the rack sides, as soon as the rack is stable in its upper position. To restore to the lower position, press the levers A at the sides of the rack and move the basket downwards. We strongly recommend that you do not adjust the height of the rack when it is loaded. NEVER raise or lower the basket on one side only.

LOWER RACK
For pots, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery etc. Large plates and lids should ideally be placed at the sides to avoid interferences with the spray arm. The lower rack has tip-up supports which can be used in a vertical position when arranging plates or in a horizontal position (lower) to load pans and salad bowls easily.
(loading example for the lower rack)

DYNAMIC CLEAN IN LOWER RACK Dynamic Clean uses the special water jets in the rear of cavity to wash more intensively the high dirty items. Placing the pots/casseroles faced to the Dynamic Clean® component please activate the DYNAMIC CLEAN on the panel. The lower rack has a Dynamic Clean, a special pull-out support in the rear of the rack that can be used to support frying pans or baking pans in upright position, thus taking up less space. How to use Dynamic Clean: 1. Adjust the Dynamic Clean area (G)
folding down the rear plate holders to load pots. 2. Load pots and casseroles inclined vertically in Dynamic Clean area. Pots have to be inclined towards the power water jets.

GLASS CARE Dedicated accessory that allows you to safely store different types of stem glasses in the lower rack. It enables cleaning & drying results by allowing an optimised and stable positioning of the glasses.
