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 salt.

5.Fill the rinse aid dispenser.

Setting 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 salts, the harder your water is. Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, Clarke degrees, French degrees and PPM (parts per Million).

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 switch and electronically, using the function push buttons on the control panel.

If your water is level 1 it is already soft and therefore there is no need to use salt. With the setting of the water softener at level 1 the salt indicator light on the control panel will always remain off.

To select a different level proceed as follows:

(The dishwasher must be switched off)

1. Press function push buttons 1 and 2 simultaneously.

2.While keeping the function push buttons 1 and 2 pressed switch on the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push button.

The On/Off indicator light comes on.

At the same time, the indicator lights of function push buttons 1 and 2 start flashing.

3.Press function push button 1, the indicator light of function push button 2 turns off, while the indicator light of function push button 1 remains fixed for about 5 seconds, after this it starts flashing indicating the current level of the water softener.

The current level is indicated by the number of flashes made by the indicator light of function push button 1, that alternates 5 seconds off with a number of flashes, this for about 60 seconds.

Example:

1 flash = level 1

2 flashes = level 2

3 flashes = level 3

4 flashes = level 4

5 flashes = level 5

4.To change the level, press function push button 1. Each time the push button is pressed the level changes.

Examples:

if the current level is 3, by pressing function push button 1 once, level 4 is selected.

if the current level is 5, by pressing function push button 1 once, level 1 is selected.

The indicator light of function push button 1 remains off for about 5 seconds after which it starts flashing indicating the new level selected.

5.To memorise the new level, switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push button.

Filling with 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.

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,

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

5. Screw on the cap tightly.

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 turning the lid (A) anticlockwise.

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

BR01

BR13

Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill.

Adjusting the dose

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

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.

BR02

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.
