Detergent tablets
Detergent tablets from different
manufactures dissolve at different
rates. For this reason, some detergent
tablets do not attain their full cleaning
power during short washing
programmes. Therefore, please use
long washing programmes when
using detergent tablets, to ensure the
complete removal of detergent
residuals.
Use of combi detergent tablets
These products are detergents with a
combined cleaning, rinsing and salt
functions. They can also contain other
different agents depending on which
kind of tablets you choose («3 in 1»,
«4 in 1», «5 in 1» etc...).
1. Check whether these detergents
are suitable for your water
hardness. Follow the
manufacturers instructions.
The refilling of the salt container and
the rinse aid dispenser are no longer
necessary. In this case the rinse aid
indicator light will always remain
illuminated when the machine is
switched on.
2. Select the lowest setting for water
hardness and rinse aid dosage.
3. Before the start of the washing
programme put the combi
detergent tablet in the detergent
dispenser.
If the drying results are not
satisfactory we recommend that you:
1. Fill up the rinse aid dispenser with
rinse aid.
2. Set the rinse aid dosage to
position 2.
If you decide to turn back to the
use of the standard detergent
system we advise that you:
1. Fill up the dispensers for salt and
rinse aid again.
2. Adjust the water hardness setting
to the highest setting and perform
1 normal washing programme
without loading any dishes.
3. Adjust the water hardness setting
according to the hardness of the
water in your area.
4. Adjust the rinse aid dosage.

returning the programme knob to
the Off position. The On/Off
indicator light turns off.
2. Open the dishwasher’s door, leave
it ajar and wait a few minutes
before removing the dishes; in this
way they will be cooler and the
drying will be improved.
Unloading the dishwasher
Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks.
The dishes should therefore be
allowed to cool down before
removing from the appliance.
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.
Water may appear on the sides
and the door of the dishwasher as
the stainless steel will eventually
become cooler than the dishes.
When the washing programme has
finished, it is recommended that
the dishwasher is unplugged and
the water tap turned off.
The washing programme or the
countdown of the delay start will
begin only after having pressed
the start/cancel button. Until that
moment it is possible to modify the
selection made.
Interrupt or cancel a washing
programme in progress ONLY if it’s
absolutely necessary.
Attention! Hot steam may escape
when the door is opened. Open the
door carefully.
Interrupt a washing programme in
progress:
Open the dishwasher door; the
programme will stop. Close the
door; the programme will start from
the point at which it was
interrupted.
Cancel a washing programme in
progress
Press the start/cancel button for
about 5 seconds. The start/cancel
indicator light turns off and the
phase indicator lights are flashing.
The running programme has been

set a new washing programme or
switch off the machine.
If a new washing programme is to
be selected, check that there is
detergent in the detergent
dispenser.

Cleaning the filters
The filters must be checked and
cleaned from time to time. Dirty filters
will degrade the washing result.
Before cleaning the filters ensure
that the machine is switched off.
1. Open the door, remove the lower
basket.
2. The dishwasher filter system
comprises a coarse filter (A), a
microfilter (B) and a flat filter.
Unlock the filter system using the
handle on the microfilter, and
remove.
3. Turn the handle about 
1/4a turn
anticlockwise and remove.
Care and cleaning
4. Take hold of the coarse filter (A)
by the handle with the hole and
remove from the microfilter (B).
5. Clean all filters thoroughly under
running water.
6. Remove the flat filter from the
base of the washing compartment
and clean both faces thoroughly.
7. Put the flat filter back in the base
of the washing compartment and
ensure that it fits perfectly.
8. Place the coarse filter (A) in the
microfilter (B) and press together.
9. Put the filter combination in place
and lock by turning the handle
clockwise to the stop. During this
process ensure that the flat filter
does not protrude above the base
of the washing compartment.
Under no circumstances may the
dishwasher be used without filters.
Incorrect repositioning and fitting of
the filters will produce poor washing
results.

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. Leave the door ajar to prevent the
formation of any unpleasant
smells. 
3. 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. 
NEVER try to remove the upper
spray arm.
If residues of soil have clogged the
holes in the upper spray arm, remove
them with a cocktail stick.
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....). 
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.
