The digital display

The digital display indicates:

• the level of hardness to which the water softener is set,

• the approximate remaining time of the running programme,

• activation/deactivation of the rinse aid dispenser (ONLY with Multitab function active),

• the end of a washing programme (a zero will appear in the digital display),

• the countdown of the delay start,

• fault codes concerning malfunction of the dishwasher.

NIGHT CYCLE button

Night Cycle is a silent washing programme that will not disturb you, even when you sleep. It can be set at night or in times with a more economical power rate. During the Night Cycle the pump runs at a very low speed to reach a noise level reduction of 25% compared to the declaration programme. As a consequence, it has a very long running time.

Function buttons

The following functions can be set with the help of these buttons:

• setting of the water softener,

• activation/deactivation of the rinse aid dispenser when Multitab function is active.

Setting mode

The appliance is in setting mode when ALL programme lights are illuminated.

Always remember that when performing the following operations: – selecting a washing programme, – setting the water softener, – activating/deactivating the rinse aid, the appliance MUST be in setting mode.

If a programme light is illuminated, the last performed or selected programme is still set. In this case, to return to setting mode, the programme has to be cancelled.

To cancel a set programme or a programme in progress

Press and hold the RESET button until all the programme lights illuminate. The programme has been cancelled and the machine is now in setting mode.

First use

Before using your dishwasher for the first time:

• Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply with the installation instructions

• 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 such as: "3 in 1", "4 in 1", "5 in 1" etc... set the Multitab function (see "Multitab function").

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 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.

Pour 1 litre of water inside the container (this is necessary only before filling with salt for the first time) .

Use of rinse aid

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 clock-

wise 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).
