Prior to using for the first time

Before using your dishwasher for the first time:

1.Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply with the installation instructions

2.Remove all packaging from inside the appliance

3.Set the water softener

4.Pour 1 litre of water inside the salt container and then fill with dishwasher salt

5.Fill the rinse aid dispenser

The water softener

The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener designed to remove minerals and salts from the water supply, which would have a detrimental or adverse effect on the operation of the appliance.

The higher the content of these minerals and salts, the harder your water is.

Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, Clarke degrees, French degrees (TH°) and mmol/l (millimol per litre - international unit for the hardness of water).

The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water in your area. Your local Water Authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area.

The water softener must be set in both ways: manually, using the water hardness dial and electronically, using the programme selector dial and the start/cancel button.

a) Setting manually

1.Open the dishwasher door.

2.Remove the lower basket from the dishwasher.

3. Turn the water hardness dial to position 1 or 2 (see table).

4. Replace the lower basket.

The dishwasher is factory set at position 2.

b)Setting electronically

(The dishwasher must be switched off)

The dishwasher is factory set at level 5.

1.Keep the start/cancel button pressed and turn the programme selector dial clockwise until the programme selection marker corresponds with the first washing programme.

The On/Off and start/cancel indicator lights start to flash indicating that you have activated the water softener setting function.

At the same time, the end of cycle indicator light starts flashing.

The current level is indicated by the number of flashes of the end of cycle indicator light and a pause of about 5 seconds (see chart).

Example: 5 flashes + pause + 5 flashes etc...= level 5

2.To change the level, press the start/cancel button.

Each time this button is pressed the level changes. (For the selection of the new level, see chart).

Examples:

If current level is 5, by pressing the start/cancel button once, level 6 is selected.

If current level is 10, by pressing the start/cancel button once, level 1 is selected.

The end of cycle indicator light remains off for about 5 seconds and then starts flashing indicating the new set made.

3.To memorise the operation, switch off the machine by returning the programme selector dial to the Off position, that is the programme selection marker corresponds with the On/Off indicator light.

Otherwise wait for about 60 seconds, after which the dishwasher will automatically return to setting mode.

Filling with dishwasher salt

Only use salt specifically designed for use in dishwashers.

All other types of salt not specifically designed for use in a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water softener.

Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete washing programmes.

This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been spilt, remaining on the bottom of the machine for any period of time, which may cause corrosion.

To fill:

1.Open the door, remove the lower basket and unscrew the cap of the salt container by turning it anticlockwise.

2.Pour 1 litre of water inside the container (this is necessary only before filling with salt for the first time).

3. Using the funnel provided, pour in the salt until the container is full.

4. Replace the cap making sure that there is no trace of salt on the screw thread or on the gasket.

5. Replace on the cap tightly turning it clockwise until it stops with a click.

The salt container will require topping up periodically. You are reminded of this by the salt indicator light on the control panel which comes on when the salt has finished.

The salt indicator light on the control panel can remain illuminated for 2-6 hours after the salt has been replenished, assuming the dishwasher remains switched on. If you are using salts that take longer to dissolve then this can take longer. The function of the machine is not affected.

Do not worry if water over flows from the unit when filling with salt, this is quite normal.

Rinse aid

Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying.

The dispenser, which is positioned inside the door, holds about 110 ml of rinse aid, which is sufficient for 16 - 40 dishwashing programmes, depending upon the dosage setting.

Filling with rinse aid

1.Open the container by pressing the release button (A).

2.Add the rinse aid until the container is completely full. The maximum level for filling is indicated by "max".

Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill.

Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next wash.

Only use branded rinse aid for dishwashers. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances (e.g. dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This would damage the appliance.

Adjusting the dose

According to the finish and drying results obtained, adjust the dose of rinse aid by means of the 6 position selector (position 1 minimum dosage, position

6 maximum dosage).

The dose is factory set in position 4.

Increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on the dishes after washing.

Reduce it if there are sticky whitish streaks on the dishes or a bluish film on glassware or knife blades.

Top up the rinse aid when the indicator light on the control panel illuminates.

In daily use

Check if it’s necessary to refill with dishwasher salt or rinse aid

Load cutlery and dishes into the dishwasher.

Fill with dishwasher detergent .

Select a wash programme suitable for the cutlery and dishes.

Start the wash programme.

Loading cutlery and dishes

Sponges, household cloths and any object that can absorb water may not be washed in the dishwasher.

Before loading the dishes, you should:

-Remove large left-overs.

-Soften remnants of burnt food in pans

When loading the dishes and cutlery, please note:

-Dishes and cutlery must not impede the rotation of the spray arms .

-Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans, etc. with the opening downwards so that water cannot collect in the container or a deep base.

-Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another, or cover each other.

-To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch.

-Lay small objects in the cutlery basket.

Plastic items and pans with teflon have a tendency to retain water drops; these items will not dry as well as porcelain and steel items.

For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery/dishes

are not suitable:

-Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or mother-of-pearl handles

-Plastic items that are not heat resistant

-Older cutlery with glued parts that is not temperature resistant

-Bonded cutlery items or dishes

-Pewter or copper items

-Lead crystal glass

-Steel items subject to rusting

-Wooden platters

-Items made from synthetic fibres

are of limited suitability:

-Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it is specifically marked as being dishwasher-safe by the manufacturer.

-Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed frequently

-Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to discolour during washing. Residues, e.g. egg white, egg yolk and mustard often cause discolouring and staining on silver.

Therefore always clean left-overs from silver immediately, if it is not to be washed straight after use.

-Some types of glass can become dull after a large number of washes

Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes.

The lower basket

The lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery etc.

Serving dishes and large lids should be arranged around the edge of the basket, ensuring that the spray arms can turn freely.

The cutlery basket

Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard.

Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket.

Take care when loading or unloading sharp items such as knives.

Forks and spoons should be placed in the removable cutlery basket with the handles facing downwards and the knives with their handles facing upwards.

If the handles protrude from the bottom of the basket, obstructing the lower spray arm, load the cutlery with the handles facing upwards.

Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent them from sticking together.

For best results we recommend you to use the cutlery grid provided (if the size and dimensions of the cutlery allow it).
