First use
Before using your dishwasher for the first time:
• Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply with the installation instruc-
tions
• Remove all packaging from inside the appliance
• Set the water softener
• Pour 1 litre of water inside the salt container and then fill with dishwasher salt
• Fill the rinse aid dispenser
If you want to use combi detergent tablets ("3 in 1", "4 in 1", "5 in 1" etc... ) follow the
instructions given in "Use of detergent".
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.

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) .
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 the cap tightly turning it clockwise until it stops with a click.
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).
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.
Use of rinse aid
9
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
10
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.
• Start the wash programme.
Load cutlery and dishes
Sponges, household cloths and any object that can absorb water may not be washed in the
dishwasher.
• Before loading the dishes, you should:
– Remove all left over food and debris.
– Soften remnants of burnt food in pans
• When loading the dishes and cutlery, please note:
– Dishes and cutlery must not impede the rotation of the spray arms.
– Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans, etc. with the opening downwards so
that water cannot collect in the container or a deep base.
– Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another, or cover each other.
– To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch.
– Lay small objects in the cutlery basket.
• Plastic items and pans with non stick coatings have a tendency to retain water drops;
these items will not dry as well as porcelain and steel items.
• Light items (plastic bowls etc.) must be loaded in the upper basket and arranged so they
do not move.
For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery and dishes
are not suitable: are of limited suitability:
• Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or motherof-pearls handles.
• Plastic items that are not heat resistant.
• Older cutlery with glued parts that are not
temperature resistant.
• Bonded cutlery items or dishes.
• Pewter or copper items.
• Lead crystal glass.
• Steel items prone to rusting.
• Wooden platters.
• Items made from synthetics fibres.
Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes.
• Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it
is specially marked as being dishwasher-safe
by the manufacturer.
• Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed
frequently.
• Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency
to discolour during washing: Residues, e.g.
egg white, egg yolk and mustard often cause
discolouring and staining on silver. Therefore
always clean left-overs from silver immediately, if it is not to be washed straight after
use.
The lower basket
Load larger and heavily soiled dishes and pans in
the lower basket.
To make it easier to load larger dishes, the 2 plate
racks on the right in the lower basket can be folded
down.
Load cutlery and dishes
11
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.
To ensure that all items of cutlery in the cutlery basket can be reached by the water, you
should:
Load cutlery and dishes
12
1. Place the grid insert on the cutlery basket.
2. Place forks and spoon in the cutlery basket
with their handles pointing downwards.
For larger utensils, such as whisks, leave off
one half of the cutlery grid.
The upper basket
Load smaller, fragile crockery and long, sharp cutlery in the upper basket.
• Arrange items of crockery on and under the
folding cup racks so that they are offset from
each other and water can reach all items.
• The cup racks can be folded up out of the way
for tall crockery items.
• Lay or hang wine and brandy glasses in the
slots in the cup racks.
Adjusting the height of the upper basket
Maximum height of the dishes in:
the upper basket the lower basket
With upper basket raised 22 cm 30 cm
With upper basket lowered 24 cm 29 cm
The height of the upper basket can also be adjusted when it is loaded.
Raising / lowering the upper basket:
1. Pull out the upper basket completely.
2. Holding the upper basket by the handle,
raise it as far as it will go and then lower
it vertically.
The upper basket will latch into the lower
or the upper position.
WARNING!
After loading your machine always close the
door, as an open door can be a hazard.
Use of detergent
13
Before closing the door, ensure that the spray
arms can rotate freely.
Use of detergent
Only use detergents specifically designed for use in dishwashers.
Please observe the manufacturer's dosing and storage recommendations as stated on the
detergent packaging.
Using no more than the correct amount of detergent contributes to reducing pollution.
Use of detergent
14
Fill with detergent
1. Open the lid.
2. Fill the detergent dispenser (1) with detergent. The marking indicates the dosing
levels:
20 = approximately 20 g of detergent
30 = approximately 30 g of detergent.
3. All programmes with prewash need an additional detergent dose (5/10 g) that must
be placed in the prewash detergent chamber (2).
This detergent will take effect during the
prewash phase.
4. When using detergent tablets, place the
tablet in compartment (1)
5. Close the lid and press until it locks in
place.
Detergent tablets
Detergent tablets from different manufactures dissolve at different rates. For this reason,
some detergent tablets do not attain their full
cleaning power during short washing programmes. Therefore, please use long washing
programmes when using detergent tablets, to
ensure the complete removal of detergent residuals.
Washing programmes
Use of combi detergent tablets
These products are detergents with a combined cleaning, rinsing and salt functions. They
can also contain other different agents depending on which kind of tablets you choose («3
in 1», «4 in 1», «5 in 1» etc...).
1. Check whether these detergents are suitable for your water hardness. See the manufacturers instructions.
2. Select the lowest setting for water hardness and rinse aid dosage.
3. Before the start of the washing programme put the combi detergent tablet in the
detergent dispenser.
The refilling of the salt container and the rinse aid dispenser are no longer necessary. In
this case the rinse aid indicator light will always remain illuminated when the machine is
switched on (not all dishwasher models are foreseen with rinse aid indicator light).
If the drying results are not satisfactory we recommend that you:
1. Fill up the rinse aid dispenser with rinse aid.
2. Set the rinse aid dosage to position 2.
If you decide to turn back to the use of the standard detergent system we advise
that you:
1. Fill up the dispensers for salt and rinse aid again.
2. Adjust the water hardness setting to the highest setting and perform washing programme without loading any dishes.
3. Adjust the water hardness setting according to the hardness of the water in your area.
4. Adjust the rinse aid dosage.

Unloading the dishwasher
• Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks.
The dishes should therefore be allowed to cool down before removing from the appliance.
• Empty the lower basket first and then the upper one; this will avoid water dripping from
the upper basket onto the dishes in the lower one.
• Water may appear on the sides and the door of the dishwasher as the stainless steel will
eventually become cooler than the dishes.
