Display indicate the current setting. Press the program selection button to select the water hardness level.
User instructions 4.2 Adding the salt 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. SALT When using water of medium hardness, the regenerating salt container should be refilled after approximately 20 washing cycles.
User instructions In order for the water softening system to give fault-free service, the appliance performs a regeneration cycle of the system at regular intervals. The regeneration process consists of several stages. It starts at the end of the last rinse cycle, after the amount of water indicated in the mains water hardness setting has been reached during the wash cycle, and finishes at the beginning of the following wash cycle.
User instructions 4.3 Adding the rinse aid 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. 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.
User instructions Adjusting the rinse aid dispenser mode Press and hold the button, 15 seconds. Display indicate the current setting. Then press the button several times to select the required dosage.

User instructions When a program with a hot pre-wash is selected (see program table), extra detergent must be placed in the cavity. Use only detergents specially formulated for dishwashers. 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.
User instructions 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 baskets 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.
User instructions 4.6 Using the baskets The dishwasher has a capacity of 14 place-settings, including serving dishes. LOWER BASKET The lower basket receives the full force of the lower spray arm, and should therefore be used for the “toughest” items with a heavier degree of soiling. All types and combinations of loads are permitted, provided that the dishes, pots and pans are arranged with all the soiled surfaces exposed to the water jets coming from the bottom.
User instructions Supports for cups and long objects (ladles, spoons, etc.), in the rear; can be tipped to the vertical position when not in use. Glass holder. Support for longstem glasses. When lifted out of the stowed position (0) it snaps into three different positions (1-2-3). 2-position fold-down supports (1-2). In position 1 (vertical) they can be used to take plates, while in position 2 (slanted) they provide support for long-stem glasses which will be held in place by the glass holder.
User instructions To lie completely flat, lift the end and turn it towards you so that the retainer F rotates into place above point S.

User instructions CUTLERY BASKET (on some models only) The basket is suitable for all types of cutlery, except long items that may interfere with the upper spray arm. The cutlery should be arranged in the spaces in the upper racks to allow the water to pass effectively between the items. Forks and spoons should be positioned with the handle facing downwards, taking care not to injure yourself with the prongs of the forks.
User instructions TOP CUTLERY BASKET (on some models only) The basket is designed to take cutlery, placed in the spaces provided, and long utensils, positioned lengthwise. The “drawer” extraction system makes the basket easier to load, but it can also be taken completely off its runners by removing the retainers (as shown here). Take great care to replace the retainers to ensure that the basket does not come off the runners accidentally.
User instructions FLEXIDUO TOP CUTLERY BASKET (on some models only) This comprises two independent sliding, pull-out tray racks for easier loading/unloading of cutlery. Various loading systems and configurations are possible. For example, tea cups can be loaded with the right-hand rack set in the low position, while the left-hand rack or both can be removed to allow large dishes to be put in the top basket.
User instructions UPPER BASKET The upper basket should be loaded with small or medium-sized items such as glasses, small plates and saucers, tea or coffee cups, shallow bowls and light objects.
