are varied during the wash cycle to achieve better cleaning of the
dishes. It is for this reason that the noise level varies during the
dishwashing cycle.

technology and the Appliance Safety Act. We as manufacturers,
however, see ourselves as being obliged to familiarise you with the
following safety instructions.

It is most important that this instruction book should be retained
with the appliance for future reference. Should the appliance be
sold or transferred to another owner, or should you move house
and leave the appliance, always ensure that the book is left with
the appliance in order that the new owner can get to know the
functioning of the appliance and the relevant safety information.

This information has been provided in the interest of your safety.
You MUST read it carefully before installing or using the
appliance.

Installation

damaged machine. If your dishwasher is damaged, you should
contact your supplier.

● For safety reasons it is dangerous to alter the specifications or

attempt to modify this product in any way.

● Any electrical and plumbing work required to install this appliance

should be carried out by a qualified and competent person.

Your dishwasher in day-to-day use

● Items that are contaminated by petrol, paint, steel or iron debris,

corrosive, acidic or alkaline chemicals must not be washed in this
dishwasher.

● Under no circumstances should you open the door whilst the

appliance is in operation, especially during the washing phase, hot
water may escape. However, if the door is opened, a safety device
ensures that the machine stops.

● Only use products (detergent, salt and rinse aid) specifically

designed for use in dishwashers.

● 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.

● Ensure that the door of the dishwasher is always closed when it is

not being loaded or unloaded. In this way you will avoid anybody
tripping over the open door and hurting themselves.

● Do not sit or stand on the open door.

● Isolate the appliance from the power supply and turn off the water

supply after use.

● This product should be serviced by an authorised service engineer,

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, German degrees,

French degrees and mmol/l (millimol per litre).
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.
