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 one 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 and French degrees.

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 dishwasher is factory set at level 2. If this level is not suitable for your area the softener

should be adjusted.

To adjust the water softener

Levels 3 and 5 (water softener adjustment)

If your water is level 3 or 5, proceed as follows:

- slide out the lower basket and unscrew the cap of

the salt container;

- turn the two-position selector anticlockwise from

position - to position + with the aid of a blunt knife or screwdriver.

Levels 4 and 5 (adjustment on the machine)

If your water is level 4 or 5, open the door and turn the selector on the upper left-hand corner of the machine from position 1 to position 2.

With a water hardness of level 5 both adjustments must be made.

If your water is "level 1" it is already soft and therefore there is no need to use salt. In this case the salt refill indicator light on the control panel will always remain illuminated when the machine is switched on.

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 (not the Rinse and Hold programme). This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been spilled, remaining on the bottom of the machine for any period of time, which may cause corrosion.

To fill:

1. To fill with salt, unscrew the cap of the salt

container.

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

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.

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 indicator (B) will be completely dark.

3. Top up the rinse aid when the indicator (B) becomes clear.

Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill.

Do not put liquid detergent in the rinse aid compartment. Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next wash.

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.
