The upper rack is equipped with a Upper
Rack height adjuster (see figure), without
pressing the levers, lift it up by simply holding
the rack sides, as soon as the rack is stable
in its upper position. To restore to the lower
position, press the levers (A) at the sides of
the rack and move the basket downwards.
We strongly recommend that you do not
adjust the height of the rack when it is
loaded.
NEVER raise or lower the basket on one side only.
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.
FOLDABLE FLAPS WITH ADJUSTABLE POSITION
The side foldable flaps can be fold or unfold to
optimize the arrangement of crockery inside
the rack.
Wine glasses can be placed safely in the folda-
ble flaps by inserting the stem of each glass into
the corresponding slots.
Depending on the model:
- to unfold the flaps there is needed to slide it
up and rotate or release it from the snaps and
pull it down.
- to fold the flaps there is needed to rotate it
and slide flaps down or pull it up and attach
flaps to the snaps.

of performance, noisy work or higher resources usage.
The filter assembly consists of three filters which remove food residues
from the washing water and then recirculate the water.
The dishwasher must not be used without filters or if the filter is
loose.
At least once per month or after each 30 cycles, check the filter assem-
bly and if necessary clean it thoroughly under running water, using a
non-metallic brush and following the instructions below:

B
A WATER SOFTENING SYSTEM
A
Water softener automatically reduces water hardness, consequently
preventing scale buildup on heater, contributing also to better cleaning
efficiency.
This system regenerates itself with salt, therefore it is required to
refill 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.
C • Single regeneration consumes: ~3.5L of water;
3 4 • Takes up to 5 additional minutes for the cycle;
• Consumes below 0.005kWh of energy.

After cleaning the filters, re-place the filter assembly and fix it in
position correctly; this is essential for maintaining the efficient
operation of the dishwasher.

CLEANING THE WATER INLET HOSE

If the water hoses are new or have not been used for an extended
period of time, let the water run to make sure it is clear and free of
impurities before performing the necessary connections. If this
precaution is not taken, the water inlet could become blocked and da-
mage the dishwasher.
