Error messages.
Your dishwasher is equipped with
a safety system which is able to
detect any operating problems.
These anomalies are reported by
one or two wash cycle indicator
lights "E" will flash rapidly.
Take a note of which lights are
flashing, turn the appliance off
and call for technical assistance.
Tap off alarm
If you have forgotten to turn the
water tap on, your appliance will
remind you of this by sounding a
few short beeps for a few
minutes.Turn the tap on and your
appliance will start up again after
a few minutes.If you were not
home when these beeps are
sounded,the appliance will be
blocked automatically the 2nd
and 3rd light from the right will
flash rapidly.Turn the appliance
off at the ON-OFF button, turn
on the water tap and wait
approximately 20 seconds before
turning the appliance back on; the
selected wash cycle will start up
again.
Clogged filter alarm
If the appliance is blocked and the
2nd and the 4th light from the right
flash rapidly, this means the filter
is clogged by large particles of
food residue. Turn the appliance
off, clean the filter thoroughly and
reposition it in its seat as
illustrated on page 10. Then turn
it back on. The selected wash
cycle will start up again.
Water load solenoid valve
malfunction alarm.
If the 3rd light from the right
flashes rapidly, turn the
dishwasher off and back on
again after one minute. If the
alarm persists, first turn off the
water tap to avoid any flooding
and then cut off the electricity
supply and call for technical
assistance.

Never without salt
Loading the salt.
You can use special water
softening salt or normal rock salt.
The salt container is situated
underneath the lower rack, fill it
up as follows:
1. Pull out the lower rack
completely, unscrew and
remove the container cap
2. Is it the first time you load the
salt? First fill the container up
with water (you won't have to
do this again next time)
3. Put the dishwasher funnel on
the hole and pour in
approximately 70 oz. of salt.
It is normal that some water
comes out of the container.
4. Screw the cap back in place
carefully.
Water in your home
When should I load the
salt?
The salt container must be filled
when the softener indicator light
"S" comes on.
Once you have loaded the salt
for the first time, it is normal that
the low salt indicator light stays
on or flashes for 5 consecutive
cycles.
Intelligent salt.
Your dishwasher can adjust its
salt consumption according to the
hardness of the water in your
home. This way, you can optimise
and customise your dishwasher's
salt consumption (not too much,
nor too little).
To adjust salt consumption, do as
follows:
1. Unscrew the salt container
cap
2. There is an arrow on the neck
of the container (see figure):
if necessary, turn the arrow
anti-clockwise from the "-"
setting to the "+" setting.
Select the arrow position
depending on the water
hardness, referring to the table
provided.
Water hardness varies according to where you live. If the water in your home is hard you have the possibility to
add salt in order to soften your water. The softer the water the better will be your washing and drying results.
