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.

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
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.
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.
15
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.
16
Operating instructions
Adjusting the dose
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.
Top up the rinse aid when the indicator light on the control panel
illuminates.
