check")
if water is HARD extra salt
needs to be added
(go to step 1, "Daily check")
Water hardness level is factory set for medium-hard water (level 4).
Even if you use tablets which include salt, you must still add regeneration salt since such detergents are not effective enough at softening hard water.
At first time use, the salt reservoir has to be filled independently from water hardness level (see description below in step 1 "Daily check").
Filling the salt reservoir - Dissolve limescale (not necessary if water hardness level is set to "soft"!)

The indicator lamp lights up when RINSE AID NEEDS TO BE ADDED.
Rinse aid indicator on the dispenser dark: OK.
clear: NEEDS TO BE ADDED
Only use rinse aids recommended for use in domestic dishwashers. Immediately wipe away any rinse aid spilt accidentally. This prevents the formation of excess suds which can cause a fault function of the appliance.
If there are streaks: reduce the dosage by turning the dial to a lower setting (1-3). If crockery is not perfectly dry: increase the dosage by turning the dial to a higher setting (5-6). Plastic dishes have more difficulty drying and a higher rinse aid setting will not improve the situation.
Detergents with rinse aid incorporated may be effective only with longer programmes. In the case of shorter programmes, detergent residue may be a problem (if necessary, use powder detergent). Detergents with rinse aid incorporated tend to form excess suds.
Adding detergent - Use only detergent specifically for dishwashers in accordance with the supplier's recommendations

Open the cover A (press the dedicated button).
Insert detergent: Tablet / powder / liquid into the big chamber
Only fill the detergent dispenser prior to starting a wash programme.
Use only one tablet per one cycle, only placed in detergent dispenser.
All types of tablets can be used, but for 2 in 1 type adding of salt is mandatory.

RESET:
Press the button .
Close the door.
Water drains automatically for up to 30 seconds.
The appliance is now ready to be restarted.
Crockery and cutlery... ...are not perfectly clean/have food residues -
-
-
Possible causes... Too little space between dishes (incorrect arrangement of the concave items in the rack).
Too little detergent; detergent too old or incorrectly stored. -
Temperature not high enough for heavily soiled crockery. -
Loading of the dishwasher using lower and upper rack at the same time with "Half load/Multizone" option.
Frequent use of Eco 50°C.
-
Clogged spray arms, dirty filters or not fitted correctly. -
Spray arms stuck impeded by crockery or cutlery.
-
Solutions... Arrange crockery so that items do not touch each other. Concave items (e.g. bowls, cups) must be arranged facing downwards in the rack.
If necessary, use more detergent, observing the manufacturer's indications as regards dosage. Always store detergent in a dry place and do not store it for excessively long periods of time.
For heavily soiled crockery, select a wash programme with a higher temperature (see table of programmes - page 1).
If you select the "Half load/Multizone" option (if available), remember to load only the upper rack or only the lower rack to increase washing power and thus obtain optimum wash results.
In the event of frequent use of the Eco 50°C programme (if available), from time to time select the Intensive 70°C programme (if available).
The spray arms must not be clogged, the filters must not be dirty and must be fitted correctly (see page 5, "Maintenance and care").
The spray arms must be able to turn freely and must not be impeded by crockery or cutlery.

What to do if...
Crockery and cutlery... ...salt indicator lit ...have deposits: regeneration salt residue
...are not dry
...have discoloured plastic parts ...opaque glasses, etc. ...removable deposits on glasses ...glasses not sparkling ...permanent deposits on glasses
...tea cups darken and dirt does not disappear after washing in dishwasher ...rust marks ...other marks ...streaks ...suds
Possible causes... - Use tablets for soft water.
Solutions... - Set "Tablet" option; if this option is not available, it is normal for the salt indicator to light up.
- Water too hard.
- In areas with very hard water, more regeneration salt needs to be added (see page 2, "How to set water hardness").
- Salt reservoir cap open.
- Close the salt reservoir cap properly.
- Not enough rinse aid.
- If you use a combined action detergent, try adding more rinse aid.
- Plastic containers dry badly.
- Synthetic materials do not dry well; if wet at end of cycle, wipe dry.
- Clean dishes left in dishwasher for a long time after end - In this situation, the presence of drops of water on dishes and on the sides of the dishwasher is normal.
of cycle (e.g. when using "Delayed start" option).
Try releasing the door 5 minutes before removing the dishes.
- Incorrect arrangement of the concave items in the rack. - Arrange crockery so that water does not collect in cavities.
- Incorrect dosage the rinse aid.
- Increase the dosage of rinse aid (see page 3, "Adding rinse aid").
- Rapid programme selected.
- The rapid programme is intended for quickly washing lightly soiled dishes. If used for a full load of medium/ heavy soiled dishes, the dishes may not dry completely. If so, select a standard-length programme. For best results, open the door after the end of the programme and wait 15 minutes before unloading the dishwasher.
- Tomato/Carrot juice.
- Tomato sauce, for example, can lead to discolouring of plastic parts. Powder detergent is recommended as it allows slightly higher doses to be used for improved whitening. Programmes with higher wash temperatures should be used.
- Dishes unsuitable for washing in dishwashers (porcelain), - Only use dishwasher-proof crockery and dishes.
- Usage of incorrect programmes for glasses.
- Dishes should be put together, to avoid touching each other. Do not put glassware together in baskets. Use suitable programme for glass.
- Not conform of glasses to washing in dishwashers (porcelain).
- Some kinds of glass cannot be washed in the dishwasher.
- Rainbow effect.
- This phenomenon is irreversible. We recommend in future: - Change the control of system of dosage of softener. - Be careful follow recommended detergent dosage. - For combined action tablets see detergent producer's recommendations.
- Not known.
- This phenomenon is inevitable. Theine alters colours permanently.
- Pre-wash programme not used. - Rinse aid dosage too low. - Rinse aid dosage too high. - Unsuitable dosage of detergent/rinse aid.
- Salty or acidic food residues can cause rust marks even on stainless steel cutlery. To avoid this, always use the pre-wash programme if the dishes are to be washed later.
- In the presence of marks, increase the rinse aid dosage (see page 3, "Adding rinse aid"). - If you use a combined action detergent, possibly add more rinse aid.
- In the presence of streaks, reduce the rinse aid dosage (see page 3, "Adding rinse aid"). - If you use a combined action detergent try adding more rinse aid.
- Only use the amount of detergent/rinse aid required, since excessive amounts can lead to excess suds.
