Loading the detergent and the rinse aid.
Filling the detergent container
It is essential to use a detergent that is specifically designed for dishwashers
either in powder, liquid or tablet form.
Unsuitable detergents (like those for washing up by hand) do not contain the proper
ingredients for use in a dishwasher and stop the dishwasher from working correctly.
Ref. EN 50242 Standards:
1) Upper basket position: low
2) Normal load
3) Shine setting: 5
4) Amount of detergent:
– 3 gr for pre-wash
– 27 gr for wash.
Normal wash
The detergent container is inside the door
(fig. A “2”). If the lid of the container is closed
press the button to open.
At the end of every wash cycle the lid is
always open and ready for the next time the
dishwasher is used.
The amount of detergent to be used varies
according to how dirty the dishes are and on
the type of dishes to be washed.
We advise using 20-30 gr of detergent in the
wash section of detergent compartment (1).
After pouring the detergent into the
container close the lid.
Since not all detergents are the same the instructions on the boxes of detergent can
vary. We should just like to remind users that too little detergent does not clean the
dishes properly whilst too much detergent will not produce better results and is also
a waste. Do not use an excessive amount of detergent and help limit damage to the
environment at the same time.
Wash with soaking cycle (prewash)
If setting the Universal Intensive wash programme, a second dose of about 20 gr
of detergent (1 table-spoon) must be added to the machine in the prewash section of
detergent compartment (2).

If you select a programme with a pre wash cycle, the performance will be improved by
adding a small amount of detergent during this part of the cycle.
CAUTION! IMPORTANT NOTE ON THE USE OF COMBINED DETERGENTS
If you are planning to use combined detergents i.e. those with built in salt and/or rinse
agent, we would advise the following:
- read carefully and follow the manufacturer’s instructions given on the packaging;
- some combined detergents, particularly those with built in rinse agent, provide best
results when used with specific programmes;
- the effectiveness of detergents containing the built in water softener/salt depends on
the hardness of your water supply. Check that the hardness of your water supply is
within the effective range given on the detergent packaging.
In certain circumstances use of combined detergents can cause:
- limescale deposits on dishes or in the dishwasher;
- a reduction in washing and drying performance.
Should this occur, we would recommend using traditional separate products – salt,
detergent and rinse agent. This will ensure that the water softener in the dishwasher
operates correctly.
Please note that on return to the use of conventional salt, a number of cycles will be
required before the system becomes fully efficient again.
NOTE
Any problems which arise as a direct result of the use of these products are not
covered by our warranty.

Filling the rinse aid container
The rinse aid container can be found to the right of the
detergent container: it has a capacity of about 130 ml
(fig. A "3").
Turn the cap (3) anticlockwise and pour enough liquid to last
several washes, up to the maximum level shown. Replace
the cap.
The rinse aid, which is automatically released during the
last rinsing cycle, helps the dishes to dry quickly and
prevents spots and stains forming.
It is always advisable to use rinse aid.
Check the rinse aid level through the indicator eye which is
situated in the centre of the dispenser (4).
Regulating the rinse aid from 1 to 6
The regulator is placed under the cap (3) and can be
turned using a coin. The recommended position is 3.
The limestone content of the water considerably affects the
formation of limescale and the drying performance.
It is therefore important to regulate the quantity of rinse
aid to achieve good washing results.
If, after the wash, streaks occur on the dishes, decrease
the amount by one position. If whitish spots occur, increase
the amount by one position.
