USER INSTRUCTIONS
4.1.1
Adding the rinse-aid
The rinse aid helps the dishes dry faster and prevents the formation of scale deposits
and staining; it is automatically added to the water during the final rinse cycle, from
the container situated on the inner side of the door.
B
A
C
Fig. 4-04
To add rinse aid:
• Open the door.
• Rotate the container cover (ref. A fig. 4-04) anticlockwise by ¼ of a turn and remove it.
• Add the rinse aid until the container is full (approximately 140 ml). The optical
level indicator (ref. B fig. 4-04), on the side of the cap should be completely obscured. Refill the rinse aid when the optical level indicator becomes clear again,
or when the rinse aid warning light illuminates (see “Description of controls”
manual).
• Replace the cover (ref. A “ g. 4-04) by turning it in a clockwise direction until it is
fully closed.
• Use a cloth to remove any spillage of rinse aid which might lead to the formation
of excess foam.
4.1.2
Adjusting the rinse-aid dispenser setting
The rinse-aid dispenser can be set to one of 6 different levels. The dishwasher is
factory set for medium water hardness (selector set to “3”). To change the setting,
turn the dispenser selector (ref. c fig. 4-04) to the desired position: the amount of
rinse-aid dispensed is proportional to the position of this selector. Make sure that
the minimum amount of rinse-aid (selector turned to “1”) is approximately 1 ml and
the maximum amount (selector turned to “6”) is approximately 6 ml.

To adjust the rinse aid setting, rotate the dispenser cover (ref. A fig. 4-04) through
a quarter turn in an anticlockwise direction and remove it.
Then use a screwdriver to rotate the rinse aid selector to the desired position.
Replace the cover (ref. A fig. 4-04) by turning it in a clockwise direction until it is
fully closed.
The amount of rinse aid must be increased if the washed dishes appear dull or
feature circular stains.
If, on the other hand, the dishes are sticky or have white streaks, it is necessary to
reduce the rinse aid setting.
4.1.3
Adding the detergent
DO NOT INHALE OR SWALLOW DETERGENT AS THIS MAY CAUSE
BURNS AND/OR PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE NOSE, MOUTH AND
THROAT, AND EVEN LEADING TO SUFFOCATION; KEEP DETERGENT
AWAY FROM YOUR EYES. IF ONE OF THE ABOVE SITUATIONS OCCURS,
SEEK MEDICAL ASSISTANCE IMMEDIATELY.
PREVENT CHILDREN FROM COMING INTO CONTACT WITH DETERGENT;
KEEP THEM AWAY FROM THE DISHWASHER WHEN THE DOOR IS
OPEN AS IT MAY CONTAIN DETERGENT RESIDUES. FILL THE DISHWASHER JUST BEFORE STARTING THE WASHING CYCLE AND THEN
KEEP THE DETERGENT OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
To open the detergent dispenser cover, lightly press the relative button (ref. A fig.
4-05). Add the detergent and close the cover carefully, pushing down on the arrow
(ref. B fig. 4-05). During the washing cycle, the dispenser will be opened automatically.

When a program with hot prewash is selected (see program table in the “Description of Controls” manual), extra detergent must be placed in the cavity (ref.
A or B fig. 4-06, depending on models).
Only use dishwasher-specific detergents. For optimal washing results it is important to use a good quality detergent.
The detergent packs must be sealed and stored in a dry place to prevent the formation of lumps which may negatively affect washing results. Once opened the
detergent packs should not be kept for too long, otherwise the detergent loses
its effectiveness.
Do not use detergents formulated for washing dishes by hand, because they
produce a great deal of foam and may negatively affect the operation of the
dishwasher.
Add the correct amount of detergent. An insufficient amount of detergent will
result in a partial removal of dirt from the dishes, whereas an excessive amount
is wasteful and does not improve the washing results.
The market offers liquid and powder detergents with differing chemical compositions, which may contain phosphates, or be phosphate-free but contain natural enzymes.
Detergents containing phosphates are more effective against grease and starch
at temperatures above 60°C (140°F).
Enzyme detergents, on the other hand, are also effective at lower temperatures
(from 40 to 55°C / from 104 to 131°F) and are more easily biodegradable. With
enzyme detergents it is possible to obtain at low temperatures comparable results to those which can only be achieved at 65°C (149°F) using traditional detergents. For the safeguarding of the environment we recommend the use of
phosphate- and chlorine-free detergents.

General warnings and recommendations
recommendations concerning dish types to be washed and their loading. There
are generally n o constraints on t he w ashing of domestic d ishes, but i n certain
cases it is necessary to take their characteristics into account. Before loading the
dishes into the racks it is necessary to:
• soak any pots or pans with burnt-on food remains on the bottom to facilitate
removal, then load them into the LOWER RACK.

Use the “
it saves water and electricity. When using this function, only load the rack se; the other rack must remain empty. There is no need
to pre-wash the dishes under running water before loading them into the racks
since this only wastes water. Correct loading of the dishes helps ensure optimal washing results.
WARNING!
• make sure that the dishes are securely in place so that they cannot tip over or
obstruct the rotation of the spray arms during the washing cycle;
• do not place very small objects in the racks as these could fall and obstruct the
spray arms or the wash pump;
• containers such as cups, bowls, glasses and pots should always be loaded with
the opening facing downwards and with any cavities at an angle, to allow the
water to drain out;
• do not stack dishes or place them in such a way that they cover one other;
• do not place glasses too close together because they may knock against each
other and break, or there might be staining at the point where they touch.

USER INSTRUCTION
MAKE SURE that the items being washed are dishwasher-safe.
Items which are not dishwasher-safe:
• Wooden dishes, pots or pans: these may be damaged by the high washing
temperatures.
• Handcrafted i tems: these a re r arely suitable for washing in a d ishwasher.
The relatively high water temperatures and the detergents used may damage
them.
• Lightweight objects: place lightweight objects in the upper rack where the
water pressure is lower.
• Dishes and objects in copper, tin, zinc or brass: these tend to stain.
• Aluminum dishes: items made from anodized aluminum may lose their color.
• Silverware: silver items may stain.
• Glass and crystal: in general, glass and crystal objects can be washed in the
dishwasher. However, certain types of glass and crystal may become dull and
lose their clearness after many washings. Therefore, for these items we recommend using the least aggressive program available (see “Description of controls” manual).
• Decorated items: the decorated objects available on the market are generally
able t o withstand washing in t he d ishwasher, although t he c olors may fade
after a great many washes. If in doubt as to the fastness of the colors, it is advisable to wash just a few items at a time for approximately one month.
