and pans) with the opening down.

– Make sure that water does not collect in

the container or in a deep base.

– Make sure that cutlery and dishes do not

lie inside one another.

– Make sure that cutlery and dishes do not

cover other cutlery and dishes.

– Make sure that glasses do not touch

other glasses.

– Put small objects in the cutlery basket.

• Plastic items and pans with non-stick
coatings can keep water droplets. Plastic
items do not dry as well as porcelain and
steel items.

Installation

Warning! Make sure that mains plug is
disconnected from the mains socket
during installation.

Install the appliance under a counter (kitchen
worktop or sink).
If a repair is necessary, the appliance must
be easily accessible for the engineer.
Put the appliance adjacent to a water tap and
a drain.
For the venting of the dishwasher only water
fill, water drain and power supply cable open­ings are necessary.
Make sure that the water inlet hose, the drain
hose and the supply cable are not kinked or
squashed, when you insert the machine.

Attaching the appliance to the adjacent
units

Make sure that the counter below which you
attach the appliance is attached to a safe
structure (adjacent kitchen units, cabinets,
wall).

1. Set the appliance in front of the kitchen
unit. Put the mains cable and the hoses
into the recess unit.

2. Push the appliance in and pull the mains
cable and the hoses through. Make sure
that they are not kinked or squashed.

3. Align the appliance and attach it on the
two sides in the upper area of the tub.

Other attaching possibilities

1. On the plinth.

2. Additional bracket on the top. This is
available as a special accessory. Contact
the Service Force Centre.

Water connection

Water inlet hose

Connected the appliance to a hot (max. 60°)
or cold water supply.
If the hot water comes from alternative sour­ces of energy that are more environmentally
friendly (e.g. solar or photovoltaic panels and
aeolian), use a hot water supply to decrease
energy consumption.
Connect the inlet hose to a water tap with an
external thread of 3/4”.

Caution! Do not use connection hoses
from an old appliance.

The water pressure must be in the limits (refer
to 'Technical data'). Make sure that the local
water authority gives you the average mains
pressure in your area.
Make sure that there are no kinks in the water
inlet hose and that the water inlet hose is not
squashed or entangled.
Fit the locknut correctly to prevent water
leaks.
We recommend that you install an IRG filter.

Caution! Do not connect the appliance
to new pipes or pipes that are not used
for a long time. Let the water run for
some minutes, then connect the inlet
hose.

The water inlet hose is double-walled and
has an inner mains cable and a safety valve.
The water inlet hose is under pressure only
while the water is running. If there is a leak in
the water inlet hose, the safety valve inter­rupts the running water.
Be careful when you connect the water inlet
hose:

• Do not put the water inlet hose or the safe­ty valve in water.

• If the water inlet hose or the safety valve is
damaged, immediately disconnect the
mains plug from the mains socket.

• Only let the Service Force Centre replace
the water inlet hose with safety valve.

Warning! Dangerous voltage

Water drain hose

Make sure that the drain hose is not bent or
squashed to prevent that the water drains
does not drain correctly.
Remove the sink plug when the appliance
drains the water to prevent that the water
goes back into the appliance.
The drain hose connection must be at a max­imum height of 70 cm from the ground.

Electrical connection

Warning! The manufacturer is not
responsible if you do not follow these
safety precautions.
Ground the appliance according to safe­ty precautions.
Make sure that the rated voltage and
type of power on the rating plate agree
with the voltage and the power of the lo­cal power supply.
Always use a correctly installed shock­proof socket.

Environment concerns

The symbol on the product or on its
packaging indicates that this product may
not be treated as household waste. Instead
it should be taken to the appropriate
collection point for the recycling of electrical
and electronic equipment. By ensuring this

the appliance. If, the spigot of the sink
has a 'non-return valve', this valve can
cause the appliance to drain incorrectly.
Remove the non-return valve.

Caution! Make sure that the water
couplings are tight to prevent water
leakage.

Do not use multi-way plugs, connectors
and extension cables. There is a risk of
fire.
Do not replace the mains cable yourself.
Contact the Service Force Centre.
Make sure that the mains plug is acces­sible after installation.
Do not pull the mains cable to discon­nect the appliance. Always pull the
mains plug.

• Cut off the mains cable and mains
plug and discard them.

• Discard the door catch. This prevents
the children to close themselves in­side the appliance and endanger their
lives.

Utilisation du sel régénérant

Attention Utilisez uniquement du sel
spécial pour lave-vaisselle. Tout autre
type de sel non spécialement étudié
pour être utilisé dans un lave-vaisselle,
en particulier le sel de cuisine, peut
endommager l'adoucisseur d'eau.

Attention Pour éviter que des grains de
sel ou de l'eau salée qui a débordé
n'entre en contact avec le fond de la
cuve pendant un laps de temps
prolongé, approvisionnez en sel juste
avant de démarrer un programme de
lavage complet pour éviter tout risque de
corrosion.

Pour réapprovisionner, procédez com­me suit :

1. Dévissez le bouchon du réservoir de sel
en le tournant dans le sens inverse des
aiguilles d'une montre.

2. Versez 1 litre d'eau à l'intérieur du réser­voir (cette opération est nécessaire uni­quement lorsque vous remplissez le ré­servoir pour la première fois).

3. Remplissez le réservoir de sel régénérant.

4. Veillez à ce que le filetage et le joint du
réservoir ne présentent aucune trace de
sel.

5. Remettez le bouchon en place et serrez­le en le tournant dans le sens des aiguilles
d'une montre jusqu'à ce que vous enten­diez un clic.

Il est normal que l'eau déborde du ré­servoir au moment où vous le remplissez
de sel.

Quand vous réglez l'adoucisseur sur le ni­veau 1, le voyant Sel ne reste pas allumé.

Utilisation du liquide de rinçage

Attention Utilisez uniquement un liquide
de rinçage pour lave-vaisselle.
N'utilisez aucun autre produit qui n'est
pas adapté au lave-vaisselle (par ex,
agent nettoyant pour lave-vaisselle, dé­tergent liquide). Cela aurait pour effet
d'endommager l'appareil.

Le liquide de rinçage permet de sécher
la vaisselle sans laisser de traces.

Le liquide de rinçage est automatique­ment ajouté à la dernière phase du rin­çage.

Procédez de la manière suivante pour remplir
le distributeur :

1. Appuyez sur la touche (A) pour ouvrir le
distributeur.
