General Hints & Tips

To save energy:

• Do not prewash dishes under running water.

• Wait until the dishwasher is full before washing a

load. If necessary use the rinse and hold button.

• If washing a reduced quantity of dishes up to maxi− mum of 50% of the capacity, use the half load but− ton (1/2).

• Always select a wash programme suitable for the type of crockery being washed and to the level of soiling (See Programme Chart).

• Follow the detergent dosage recommendations in this instruction book and the detergent manufac− turers instructions. Never over dose or under dose.

• Ensure the water softener is correctly set.

For best washing and drying results

• Before loading remove all scraps of food and soak very heavily soiled pots and pans.

• Arrange saucepans, cups and glasses etc. upside down.

• Tilt items with convex or concave surfaces so the water drains off easily.

• Avoid contact between the dishes as far as possible.

• Wait a few minutes before removing the dishes; in

this way they will be cooler and the drying will be improved.

• Empty the lower basket first and then the upper basket; this will avoid water dripping from the up− per basket onto the dishes in the lower one.

• You will improve drying results by leaving the dish− washer door ajar for at least 15−30 minutes as soon as the programme finishes.

Items not suitable for dishwashers.

The following items should not be washed in the dishwasher (unless they are sold as dishwasher proof).

• Cutlery with wooden or horn handles or glued parts

• Bronze cutlery

• Saucepans with wooden handles

• Aluminium ware

• Crystal ware

• Leaded glass

• Plastic items

• Antique or fine decorated china

• Tin and copper items

• Artistic objects

• Wooden board

Crockery that may be suitable:

• Earthenware crockery can be washed in the dish− washer if the manufacturer has indicated that it is suitable.

• Some glazed finishes may fade after frequent ma− chine washing.

• Silver and aluminium parts tend to discolour during machine washing.

• Copper, pewter and brass tend to stain.

• A chemical reaction can occur between silver cut−

lery and stainless steel cutlery. As a precaution do not wash together.

• Iron and cast iron objects can rust and stain other items.

• Certain types of decoration can discolour when washed in a dishwasher.

If in doubt check with the manufacturer of the item. When buying new dishes, ensure that they are dishwas− her proof.

For best results we recommend the use of Finish detergents, rinse aid and salt.

Prior to Using for the first Time

Do the following steps before using your dishwasher for the first time.

Fill with rins

1. Open the store tank by pressing the locking key if

the pilot light of the rinse is on (A).

2. Pour in rinse up to the "max." marking (B). Do not fill up too much.

3. Close the store tank until it locks audibly.

4. Remove immediately any run out rinse otherwise

foam development may occur.

The pilot light for the rinse switches off.

Setting the rinse dosage

1. Open the store tank by pressing the locking key (A).

2. Turn the dosage arrow (C) to the left by hand or by

a coin or screwdriver in order to increase the quan− tity. Setting ex works is step 2 (Perfect setting are steps 2 − 4).

3. Close the store tank.

Please follow chapter "Remedying faults " about it on page 24.

Filling the salt dispenser

Warning! Only use special salt for dishwashers.

Other types of salt (e.g., cooking salt) often contain water−insoluble components which can block the water softener and may render it unserviceable.

Salt and detergent packages often look very similar. Detergent accidentally poured into the salt dispenser will damage the water softener. Each time you fill with special salt, ensure that you are really holding a salt package in your hand.

Never fill the salt dispenser with rinse aid or detergent!

Fill with salt as follows:

1. Open the cap (A) of the salt dispenser.

2. Fill the dispenser with water (B)

3. Fill with 1 kg of special salt (C). As a result, approx.

1 litre of water will be displaced.

4. Remove salt from around the opening of the dis−

penser.

5. Close the salt dispenser by turning the cap until the

stop is reached.

6. Immediately run the "Pre−rinse"program to

wash away any salt residues.

The salt display will go out after 1 or 2 rinse cycles.

Do not remove the water feed valve, and do not fill with detergent for any reason.

Setting the Water Softener

The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener de− signed to remove minerals and salts from the water supply, which would have a detrimental or adverse ef− fect on the operation of the appliance. The higher the content of these salts, the harder your water is.

The softener should be adjusted according to the hard− ness of the water in your area. Your local Water author− ity can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area.

Adjust the dosage as follows:

Turn the setting button using a coin or a screwdriver until the arrow on the knob points to the desired num− ber.

The arrow must point to a number and the po− sition must be engaged positively.

Crockery Basket

− Lower basket

− Upper basket

The illustration gives you some tips for the op− timal loading of your dishwasher.

Before loading, remove any food scraps. Do not rinse with warm water or use a manual deter− gent.

Cutlery basket

Place cutlery in the cutlery basket with the handles downward.

Except for cutlery very narrow handles, which could penetrate through the cutlery basket and could block the spray arm.

without cutlery basket top

Make sure that cutlery and tall articles near the basket handle do not prevent the lid of the de− tergent dispenser from opening.

Important:

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 horizon− tally in the upper basket. Take care when loading or unloading sharp items such as knives.

Cutlery basket top

With the top fitted to the cutlery basket, the cutlery no longer touches. All parts are accessible for the water jet. In this way, cleaning and drying of the cutlery is im− proved.

Removing the cutlery basket top

− Press in the clips slightly (A) and remove the cutlery basket top upwards (B).
