SETTINGS
Programme selection mode and user mode
When the appliance is in programme
selection mode it is possible to set a
programme and to enter the user mode.
In user mode, the following settings
can be changed:
• The level of the water softener according
to the water hardness.
• The activation or the deactivation of the
acoustic signal for end of programme.
These settings will be saved until you
change them again.
How to set the programme selection mode
The appliance is in programme selection
mode when all the programme indicators
are on.
When you activate the appliance, usually it
is in programme selection mode. However,
if this does not happen, you can set the
programme selection mode in the following
way:
Press and hold the programme button until
the appliance is in programme selection
mode.
The water softener
The water softener removes minerals from
the water supply, which would have a
detrimental effect on the washing results
and on the appliance.
The higher the content of these minerals,
the harder your water is. Water hardness is
measured in equivalent scales.
The water 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
8
your area. It is important to set the right
level of the water softener to assure good
washing results.

HINTS AND TIPS
General
The following hints will ensure optimal
cleaning and drying results in daily use and
also help to protect the environment.
• Remove larger residues of food from the
dishes into the waste bin.
• Do not pre-rinse dishes by hand. When
needed, use the prewash programme (if
available) or select a programme with a
prewash phase.
• Always use the whole space of the
baskets.
• When loading the appliance, make sure
that the dishes can be completely
reached and washed by the water
released from the spray arm nozzles.
Make sure that items do not touch or
cover each other.
• You can use dishwasher detergent, rinse
aid and salt separately or you can use
the multi-tablets (e.g. ''3in1'', ''4in1'',
''All in 1''). Follow the instructions written
on the packaging.
• Select the programme according to the
type of load and degree of soil. With the
ECO programme you have the most
efficient use of water and energy
consumption for crockery and cutlery
with normal soil.
Using salt, rinse aid and detergent
• Only use salt, rinse aid and detergent for
dishwasher. Other products can cause
damage to the appliance.
• Multi-tablets are usually suitable in areas
with a water hardness up to 21 °dH. In
areas exceeding this limit, rinse aid and
salt must be used in addition to the
multi-tablets. However, in areas with
hard and very hard water we
recommend to use solo-detergent
(powder, gel, tablets without additional
functions), rinse aid and salt separately
for optimal cleaning and drying results.
• If you use multi-tablets you can select
the Multitab option (if available). This
option increases the cleaning and drying
results with the use of multi-tablets.
• Detergent tablets do not fully dissolve
with short programmes. To prevent
detergent residues on the tableware, we
recommend that you use the tablets with
long programmes.
• Do not use more than the correct
quantity of detergent. Refer to the
instructions on the detergent packaging.
What to do if you want to stop using multi-tablets
Before you start to use separately
detergent, salt and rinse aid do the
following procedure.
1.
Set the highest level of the water
softener.
2.
Make sure that the salt and rinse aid
containers are full.
3.
Start the shortest programme with a
rinsing phase. Do not add detergent
and do not load the baskets.
4.
When the programme is completed,
adjust the water softener according to
the water hardness in your area.
5. Adjust the released quantity of rinse aid.
Loading the baskets
• Only use the appliance to wash items
that are dishwasher-safe.
• Do not put in the appliance items made
of wood, horn, aluminium, pewter and
copper.
• Do not put in the appliance items that
can absorb water (sponges, household
cloths).
• Remove larger residues of food from the
dishes into the waste bin.
• Make soft the remaining burned food on
the items.
• Put hollow items (cups, glasses and
pans) with the opening down.
• Make sure that glasses do not touch
other glasses.
• Put cutlery and small items in the cutlery
basket.
C
B
A
13
• Put light items in the upper basket.
Make sure that the items do not move.
• Make sure that the spray arms can
move freely before you start a
programme.
Before starting a programme
Make sure that:
• The filters are clean and correctly
installed.
• The cap of the salt container is tight.
• The spray arms are not clogged.
• There is dishwasher salt and rinse aid
(unless you use multi- tablets).
• The position of the items in the baskets
is correct.
CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING! Before
maintenance, deactivate the
appliance and disconnect the
mains plug from the main
socket.
Dirty filters and clogged spay
arms decrease the washing
results. Make a check regularly
and, if necessary, clean them.
• The programme is applicable for the
type of load and for the degree of soil.
• The correct quantity of detergent is
used.
Unloading the baskets
1. Let the tableware cool down before you
remove it from the appliance. Hot items
can be easily damaged.
2. First remove items from the lower
basket, then from the upper basket.
At the end of the programme
water can still remain on the
sides and on the door of the
appliance.
1. Turn the filter (B) counterclockwise and
remove it.
Cleaning the filters
The filter system is made of 3 parts.
2.
Remove the filter (C) out of filter (B).
3.
Remove the flat filter (A).
4. Wash the filters.
14
5.
Make sure that there are no residues of
food or soil in or around the edge of the
sump.
6. Put back in place the flat filter (A). Make
sure that it is correctly positioned under
the 2 guides.
CAUTION! An incorrect position
of the filters can cause bad
washing results and damage to
the appliance.
Cleaning the spray arms
Do not remove the spray arms. If the holes
in the spray arms are clogged, remove
remaining parts of soil with a thin pointed
object.
External cleaning
• Clean the appliance with a moist soft
cloth.
• Only use neutral detergents.
• Do not use abrasive products, abrasive
cleaning pads or solvents.
Internal cleaning
• Carefully clean the appliance, including
the rubber gasket of the door, with a soft
moist cloth.
• If you regularly use short duration
programmes, these can leave deposits
of grease and limescale inside the
appliance. To prevent this, we
recommend to run long duration
programmes at least 2 times per month.
7. Reassemble the filters (B) and (C).
8. Put back the filter (B) in the flat filter (A).
Turn it clockwise until it locks.
