    3.2 Washing programs   
      
    Before starting a washing program make sure that: 
    •  The water supply tap is  open. 
    • The correct amount of detergent  has been added to the 
    dispenser. 
    • The baskets have been  correctly loaded. 
    • The spray arms are able to  rotate freely and without 
    obstruction. 
    • The dishwasher door is  securely closed.   
     
     
    EXTRA PROGRAMS  Button (6) gives access to  five extra programs  in addition to the ones 
    which can be selected directly using the program selector button. 
    This button must be pressed (the light comes on)  after selection of the 
    “main” program (1,2,3,4 or 5). 
    This function  is retained in the memory , so the button has to be pressed 
    again (the light goes out) if the user wishes to execute one of the 5 main 
    programs at the next cycle. 
     
      
     
     
     
       3/1 OPTION BUTTON  
    (available in all programs except the soak program) 
     By pressing the button 
    (8) you activate the  3/1 option, confirmed when 
    the relative light comes on. This opt ion has been studied for the use of  
    dishwashing powder or tablets with integrated substances in place of  
    regenerating salt or rinse-aid known on  the market as “3 in 1” or “triple 
    action” products; in this case the dishwasher will use the product in an 
    optimal way avoiding salt and rins e-aid consumption, which could 
    already be found in the dishwasher. 
     Note:   When selecting the  3/1 button, it is norma l that the salt and 
    rinse-aid lights remain on, if  their containers are empty.

     SELECTING HALF LOAD WASH 
     (available in all programs except the soak program) 
     This function is ideal for small loads and saves water and electricity. It is 
    controlled by the  HALF LOAD (10)  button, with two alternatives: 
    1)  Press the button 
    once to select washing in the top basket  (the 
    relative light comes on); 
    2)  Press the button a 
    second time to select washing in the  bottom 
    basket  (the relative light comes on); 
    3)  Press the button a 
    third time to return to the normal  full load washing 
    mode (washing in both baskets, both lights off). 
     
     
      
     
    When washing in the  bottom basket only, the cutlery basket can be 
    divided so that only half is used . 
     
     
     
     
     
     
     DELAYED START 
    (available in all programs except the soak program) 
     The  PROGRAM DELAY button (12)  can be pressed to delay the start of 
    the program by up to 9 hours . This means that the dishwasher can be 
    operated at the time of day of your  choice. Press the button several 
    times in succession and the display will show the delay with which the 
    appliance will start, beginning from  9 hours.

      CANCELLING THE CURRENT PROGRAM 
     •  To cancel the currently sele
    cted program, open the door and hold 
    down the  PROGRAM SELECTION (3)  button for a few seconds 
    until the indicator lights  for programs 4 and 5 illuminate 
    simultaneously (the word end is displayed on the window). 
     
     
     
    •  Close the door. 
    •  After approximately 1 minute the dishwasher will advance to the end 
    of cycle. 
     
     
     CHANGING THE PROGRAM  To change the program in progress, simply open the door and select a 
    new program. When the door is clos ed the dishwasher will automatically 
    select the new program.
       
     
     
      
     TO SAVE ON ENERGY! … AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT  
    •   Always try to run the dishwasher  fully loaded. 
    •  Do not wash the dishes in running water. 
    •  Use the washing program that is  most appropriate for each type of 
    load. 
    •  Do not carry out any preliminary rinsing. 
    •  If available, connect the dishwasher to a hot water supply up to 60°C. 
    TO CUT DOWN ON DETERGENT CONSUMPTION! … AND PROTECT 
    THE ENVIRONMENT  The phosphates contained in dishwasher detergents are harmful to the 
    environment. To avoid using excessive amounts of detergent and to save 
    on electricity, observe the following:  •  separate  the more delicate items from dishes that are more resistant 
    to aggressive detergents and high temperatures; 
    •  do not pour   the detergent directly on the dishes.

     If the door has to be opened while washing is in progress, the program 
    will be interrupted. The relative light will keep flashing and a beeper will 
    signal that the cycle has not been completed. You must wait about 1 
    minute before closing the door to rest art the program. When the door is 
    closed the program will continue from  where it was interrupted. This 
    operation should only be carried out if strictly necessary , because it 
    might cause problems in execution of the program.  
     
     
     
      
     
     
    END OF CYCLE 
    At the end of the washing cycle the dishwasher 
    gives a short acustic signal and the program 
    indicators nr 4 and 5  start blinking (the word 
    end is displayed on the window). 
     
     
     
     
    To switch off the dishwasher, open the door and press the  ON/OFF 
    button  (1). 
     
     
     
      REMOVING THE DISHES 
    At the end of the washing 
    program, wait at least 20 minutes before 
    removing the dishes, to allow them to cool down. To prevent any water 
    droplets on the upper basket from falling on the dishes in the lower 
    basket, it is  advisable to unload the lower basket first, and then the 
    upper basket.

    4. Operating instructions  
     
     
    Once the dishwasher has been correctly installed, prepare for use as 
    follows: 
     •  Adjust the water softening system; 
    •  Add the regenerating salt; 
    •  Add the rinse aid and detergent. 
     
     
    4.1  Using the water softening system  
     
     
     
      The amount of scale contained in the 
    water (water hardness index) can cause 
    whitish staining on the dry dishes, which 
    tend to become dull over time. The 
    dishwasher is equipped with an automatic 
    softening system which uses a special 
    regenerating salt to reduce the hardness 
    of the water. 
    The dishwasher is factory set for water 
    hardness level 3 
    (average hardness  
    41-60°dF  – 24-31°dH).   
     
    SALT 
     
     
    When using water of medium hardness, the regenerating salt container 
    should be refilled after approximately  20 washing cycles. The salt 
    container can hold approximately  1.7 Kg of salt in grains. The container 
    is situated at the bottom of the dishwasher. After removing the lower 
    basket, unscrew the salt container cap by turning it anticlockwise and 
    pour in the salt using the funnel supplied with the dishwasher. Before 
    replacing the cap, remove any salt residues from around the opening. 
     
     
     
      
     •  When using the dishwasher for the first time, in addition to the salt it 
    is also necessary to add  one litre of water to the container.  
    • Each time the salt container  is refilled, make sure that the cap is 
    securely closed. The mixture of water and detergent must never 
    penetrate the salt container, as th is would compromise the operation 
    of the regeneration system. In the event of this occurring, the 
    warranty will be invalidated.  
    • Only  use regenerating salt specially formulated for domestic 
    dishwashers. If using salt tablets,  do not fill the container 
    completely.    
     
    						
    							 
     
    User instructions   
     
    18  
     
     
     
      
     
    • Do not use table salt  as it contains insoluble substances which, 
    over time, may damage the water softening system.  
    • When necessary, refill the r egenerating salt container before 
    starting the washing program . In this way, the excess saline 
    solution will be immediately removed by the water; the prolonged 
    presence of salt water inside the tank may lead to  corrosion.   
     
     Be careful not to confuse the salt and detergent packages ; adding 
    detergent to the salt container will damage the water softening system.   
     
     
     
     
     
     ADJUSTING THE WATER SOFTENING SYSTEM  NOTA: for the setting below to be possible, a washing program other 
    than the soak program must be set.  Press the  PROGRAM DELAY  button (12) and keep it pressed until the 
    preset value appears followed by a full stop (normally  3.). Release the 
    button then press it again in succession to display the value required, 
    referring to the table. 
     The  6 setting levels available will appear in this order:  
    3., 4. , 5., 0. , 1. , 2. . 
     When the value required appears on the  diplay, release the button; after 
    5 seconds  the system automatically returns to setting of the program 
    delay, and the setting will be made with the chosen value. 
     N.B.: the display shows the water hardness setting and the program 
    delay. The dot ( .) after the number indicates that the water hardness 
    setting is being displayed. If the dot  ( .) does not appear, the program 
    delay is being displayed.

    4.2  Using the rinse aid and detergent dispensers 
     
      The detergent and rinse aid 
    dispensers are situated on the inner 
    part of the door: the  detergent 
    dispenser  is on the left, and the 
    rinse aid dispenser is on the right. 
      
     
     
      
     With the exception of the  SOAK program, before every washing cycle it 
    is necessary to add the required amount of detergent to the  detergent 
    dispenser. The rinse aid, on the other hand, should  only be added as 
    required.
