First Time Use
Filling the Salt Reservoir
The use of salt prevents the formation of limescale on the dishes and on the machine's functional components. It is mandatory that the salt reservoir never be empty. It is important to set the water hardness. The salt reservoir is located in the lower part of the dishwasher and must be filled when the green float on the cap of the salt reservoir is no longer visible.
- Remove the lower rack and unscrew the reservoir cap (anticlockwise ↩️).
- Only the first time you do this: fill the salt reservoir with water.
- Position the funnel (see figure) and fill the salt reservoir right up to its edge (approximately 1 kg); it is not unusual for a little water to leak 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). Whenever you need to add salt, it is mandatory to complete the procedure before the beginning of the washing cycle to avoid corrosion.
Water Softening System
The water softener automatically reduces water hardness, consequently preventing scale buildup on the heater, contributing also to better cleaning efficiency. This system regenerates itself with salt, therefore it is required to refill the salt container when empty.
Frequency of regeneration depends on water hardness level setting - regeneration takes place once per 5 Eco cycles with water hardness level set to 3. Regeneration process starts in final rinse and finishes in drying phase, before cycle ends.
- Single regeneration consumes: ~3.5L of water
- Takes up to 5 additional minutes for the cycle
- Consumes below 0.005kWh of energy

Filling the Rinse Aid Dispenser
Rinse aid makes dish drying easier. The rinse aid dispenser (A) should be filled when the dark optical indicator on the dispenser door (C) becomes transparent. NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the appliance tub.
Filling the Detergent Dispenser
To open the detergent dispenser use the opening device (D). Introduce the detergent into the dry dispenser (E) only. Place the amount of detergent for pre-washing directly inside the tub. Usage of detergent not designed for dishwashers may cause malfunction or damage to the appliance.
Programs Table
| Program | Program Description | Drying Phase | Duration (h:min)*) | Water Consumption (litres/cycle) | Energy Consumption (kWh/cycle) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Eco 50° | Suitable to clean normally soiled tableware; most efficient in terms of combined energy and water consumption, used to assess compliance with EU Ecodesign legislation. | 4:00 | 11.5 | 0.76 | |
| 2. Intensive 65° | Recommended for heavily soiled crockery, especially suitable for pans and saucepans (not to be used for delicate items). | 2:30 | 15.5 | 1.50 | |
| 3. Mixed 55° | Mixed soil. For normally soiled dishes with dried food residues. | 2:25 | 15.0 | 1.35 | |
| 4. Rapid 40' 45° | For half load of lightly-soiled dishes with no dried food residues. Without drying. | - | 0:40 | 8.0 | 0.90 |
| 5. Half Load 50° | Ideal for washing a half load of lightly or normally soiled crockery. | 1:15 | 11.0 | 0.90 |
*ECO program data is measured under laboratory conditions according to European Standard EN 60436:2020. Note for Test Laboratories: For information on comparative EN testing conditions, please send an email to dw_test_support@europeanappliances.com. Pre-treatment of the dishes is not needed before any of the programs. Values given for programs other than the program Eco are indicative only. The actual time may vary depending on many factors such as temperature and pressure of the incoming water, room temperature, amount of detergent, quantity and type of load, load balancing, additional selected options and sensor calibration. Sensor calibration can increase program duration up to 20 min.
Loading the Racks
Upper Rack
Load delicate and light dishes: glasses, cups, saucers, low salad bowls. (loading example for the upper rack)
Foldable flaps with adjustable position.
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. (loading example for the lower rack)
Cutlery Basket
The basket is equipped with top grilles for improved cutlery arrangement. The cutlery basket should be positioned only at the front of the lower rack. Knives and other utensils with sharp edges must be placed in the cutlery basket with the points facing downwards or they must be positioned horizontally in the tip-up compartments on the upper rack.
Care and Maintenance
Cleaning the Filter Assembly
In case you find foreign objects (such as broken glass, porcelain, bones, fruit seeds etc.) please remove them carefully. NEVER REMOVE the wash-cycle pump protection (black detail) (Fig 4).
Steps for cleaning:
- Remove the filter assembly.
- Clean the filter assembly.
- Reassemble the filter assembly.
Cleaning the Spray Arms

In case your dishwasher doesn't work properly, check if the problem can be solved by going through the following list. For other errors or issues please contact authorized After-sales Service which contact details can be found in the warranty booklet.
Spare parts will be available for a period of either up to 7 or up to 10 years, according to the specific Regulation requirements.
| Problems | Possible Causes | Solutions |
|---|---|---|
| The dishwasher does not fill the water. All LEDs are blinking rapidly | No water in the water supply or the tap is closed. The inlet hose is bent. The sieve in the water inlet hose is clogged; it is necessary to clean it. |
Make sure there is water in the water supply or the tap running. Make sure the inlet hose is not bent (see INSTALLATION), reprogram the dishwasher and reboot. After having carried out the verification and cleaning, turn off and turn on the dishwasher and restart a new program. |
| Dishwasher finishes the cycle prematurely. | Drain hose positioned too low or siphoning into home sewage system. Air in water supply. |
Check if end of drain hose is placed at correct height (see INSTALLATION). Check for siphoning into home sewage system, install air admittance valve if necessary. Check water supply for leaks or other issues letting air inside. |
