Operating instructions
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.
Note:
If you want to use the "3 in 1" combi detergents, read carefully the informations given in "Different kinds of detergents".
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 function buttons on the control panel.

Operating instructions
b) Setting electronically
The dishwasher is factory set at level 5.
1.With the dishwasher switched off, press the On/Off button. The end of programme indicator light flashes (setting mode).
In case salt and/or rinse aid refilling is necessary the corresponding indicator lights illuminate.
If one of the washing programme indicator lights is on, this means that a washing programme has been set.
The setting must be cancelled: press for about 3 seconds the programme selection/cancel button; the indicator light of the set programme turns off and the end of programme indicator light flashes, indicating that the set programme has been cancelled and that the machine is now in setting mode.
2.Press and keep pressed the programme selection/cancel button until programme indicator light 1 flashes and programme indicator light 2 illuminates with a fixed light.
Wait until programme indicator light 2 turns off, programme indicator light 1 goes on flashing and simultaneously the end of programme indicator light starts flashing.
This indicates that you have activated the electronic setting function of the water softener.
The current level is indicated by a sequence of flashes of the end of programme indicator light, a sequence of intermittent audible signals and a pause of a few seconds (see chart).
Example: 5 flashes + pause + 5 flashes signals etc...= level 5
3.To change the level, press the programme selection/cancel button. Each time the button is pressed the level changes. (For the selection of the new level, see chart).
Examples:
if the current level is 5, by pressing the programme selection/cancel button once, level 6 is selected.
if the current level is 10, by pressing the programme selection/cancel button once, level 1 is selected.
The end of programme indicator light remains off for a few seconds and then starts flashing indicating the new selection is set.
4.To memorise the operation, switch off the machine by pressing the On/Off button or wait for about 60 seconds, after which the machine will automatically return to setting mode.

Operating instructions
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.
14
Operating instructions
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.
