Set 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, German degrees (°dH), 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.

	Water hardness		Adjusting the water hardness			Use of salt

Use of dishwasher salt

WARNING!

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) .

Use of rinse aid	9

3.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 the cap tightly turning it clockwise.

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

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.

Use of rinse aid

WARNING!

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.

Rinse aid ensures thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying.

Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse.

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

10Daily use

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

The dispenser holds about 110 ml of rinse

aid, which is sufficient for between 16 and 40 dishwashing cycles, depending upon the dosage setting.

3. 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.

Adjusting the dosage of rinse aid

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.

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.

upwards at the back until it disengages, then pull it towards the back out of the front guide.

Insert the plate rack in the other guide and press

it down at the back until it snaps in.

The cutlery basket

WARNING!

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.

Load cutlery and dishes	13

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.

To make loading of the cutlery basket easier, lower the cutlery basket handle.

For best results we recommend that you use the cutlery grids.

If the size and dimensions of the cutlery do not allow the use of the grids, they can be easily hidden.

14 Load cutlery and dishes

The cutlery basket is in two parts which can be separated to give greater loading flexibility. To separate the two parts, slide them horizontally in opposite directions and pull them apart.

To reassemble, reverse the procedure.

The upper basket

The upper basket is designed for saucers, salad bowls, cups, glasses, pots and lids.

Adjustable cup racks

•Arrange items on and underneath the cup racks so that water can reach all surfaces.

•The cup racks can be folded up out of the way for tall crockery items.

•The cup racks can also be fixed in an intermediate position. Lay or hang glasses with the stems in the slots in the cup racks.

Load cutlery and dishes	15

Glass holders

For glasses with long stems and tall cylindrical glasses, fold up the glass holder. (fig. 1)

To unload or when not needed, fold the glass holder back to the right. (fig. 2)

Glasses can also be placed over the bars pointing up.

Adjusting the height of the upper basket

If washing very large plates you can load them in the lower basket after moving the upper basket to the higher position.

The adjustment of the height of the upper basket is possible also when the basket has been loaded.

Moving the upper basket to the higher / lower position:
