What to do before using the machine for the first timeWhat to do before using the machine for the first time
STEP 1: Adjusting the water softener
For impeccable washing and drying results with no streaks.
The water softener must be adjusted correctly to ensure no streaks
after washing and drying.
Your dishwasher is fitted with a water softening system that operates
using regenerating salt.
You must set the water softener according to the hardness of the water
in your area.
➁➁
-
Adjustment via the cursor inside the tub.
Adjust the setting using the cursor on the left-hand side inside the
tub by positioning it correctly on the desired number, depending on
the water hardness.

Check that the
cursor is fully
over the number.
You must fill the salt reservoir with water before using
the machine, even if the water softener setting selected
does not require any regenerating salt.
If you move house and take the dishwasher with you you will
need to check the water hardness and adjust accordingly.
For good wash results it is very important to set the dishwasher
to the correct level of water hardness and to set the correct
level of rinse aid (see page 8)
➀➀
-
Measuring the water hardness
To do this: contact your local water supplier to find out the water
hardness level and adjust on the machine as described below.
③③
Filling the regenerating salt reservoir
You must fill this, with water just
before starting your first wash then
add the salt:
Filling with salt is essential to obtain a good
wash with no streaks. The salt regener-
ates the resins, which soften the water by
removing its limestone content unless
the water is already sufficiently soft
(see “Adjusting the water softener”).
Salt reservoir
Should any regenerating salt overflow when filling,
we recommend that you remove the loose salt crystals
to avoid oxidising the tub.
Never put detergent in this reservoir:
this will ruin the
water softener.
- Unscrew the salt reservoir’s stopper and
remove it.
- Fill the reservoir with regenerating salt
specially designed for dishwashers. (the funnel available from the after-sales department
reference : 31X3964)
- On the first time, add water
until it reaches the edge
of the reservoir.
- Screw the salt reservoir’s
stop back in fully.
Indication of the level of
regenerating salt
SALT indicator light:
This illuminates showing salt
needs to be added. After you have
refilled the salt reservoir, the light
may still remain lit until the salt
has dissolved sufficiently, generally
after one cycle (or if the reservoir
has not been completely filled, for
instance when putting the
machine into operating using the
sample.
Do not use kitchen
salt.
If the water is especially
soft and does not require
the use of any regenerating
salt, the SALT light remains lit.

Adjustment (if necessary)
The original setting is in the middle
(Medium position: setting 2).
After a few cycles, if there are streaks or
the drying is poor, you can adjust the setting using the adjustment lever:
- Setting 1 to reduce the dose, (soft water)
- Setting 3 to increase the dose
(hard water)
Adjustment lever
The rinse aid indicator light:
This illuminates showing rinse aid must be
added.
Rinse aid
For easy loading, the detergent container is located on the front of the
upper basket.
The detergent container is designed to take tablets powder or liquid
recommended for dishwasher use.
VERY IMPORTANT:
- For good wash results it is recommended to use individual
detergent, salt and rinse aid products.
- However “2 in 1” tablets (detergent and rinse aid) can be
used, if so, you may need to adjust the rinse aid dial according
to the wash results (see page 8)
- Good wash results depend on getting the salt + rinse aid
levels set correctly according to use level of water hardness
(see pages 6-8).
Tablets
Place the tablet in the compartment.
underneath the top basket.
Only use the washing
products specially designed for dishwasher use.
Powder or liquid
Pull the container out to fill it with liquid detergent or powder.
Fill it up to the Minimum mark for lightly soiled
items.
Fill it up to the Maximum mark for dirty items.
Close the container.
Keep all these products out of children’s
reach and away from
any damp environments.

Loading the dishwasher
Important note:
For safety reasons, we recommend that you arrange
any knives with pointed ends point downwards in the cutlery
baskets (to avoid accidents).
Any long-bladed knives and other sharp kitchen utensils should
be placed flat in the upper basket.
Cutlery
Removable grilds are available if you
wish to organise the loading of your
cutlery.
For optimum washing and drying, use
these separation grilds fully or partially.
- Place your cutlery with the handles at
the bottom.
- Avoid washing cutlery with horn handles in your machine.
- Separate silverware from cutlery in
other metals using the separation
grills.
The sliding cutlery baskets
These can be arranged in any position
in the lower basket. You can therefore
arrange different loads according to the
items you wish to wash.
You can place a cutlery basket in the
upper basket.
If your cutlery or your plates are too
large, adjust the height of the upper
basket (it is height-adjustable).
The lower basket
Lay the items out so that the water can
circulate freely and spray all the utensils.
Place the plates and the wide pots and
pans at the sides.
Do not intersperse or superimpose plates
and dishes or place them side-by-side.
The fold-down spikes help you to
arrange your large items (depending on
the model).
No items should interfere with the rotation of the
washing arms (pot handles, cutlery, etc.)
Anti-blocking

Loading the dishwasher
Unloading the dishwasher
First of all empty the lower basket to avoid any drops of water
falling onto it from the upper basket.
Items unsuitable for dishwasher use
- Wooden cutting boards
- Oxidisable steel or non heat-resistant plastic utensils,
- Pewter or copper items,
- Glued items,
- Cutlery with wooden, horn or mother-of-pearl handles,
- Antique or hand-painted porcelain.

machine empty, using a commercially available special dishwasher
cleaning product.
Prolonged stoppage
Clean your dishwasher completely,
then disconnect the power supply
and close the water tap.
Keep your machine away from the
risk of frost.
Only use soap and
water on the casing
and the control panel.
Do not use abrasive powders,
metal sponges, alcohol-based
products or thinners.
Use a soft cloth or a sponge.
If you are moving,
to avoid any water lea-
king, first of all run a Soak pro-
gramme.
Running maintenance

Troubleshooting, what to do?
If you are in any doubt about the operation of your machine, before calling a qualified engineer, check the following points (depending on the symptoms noticed).
When first using the machine
Possible causes
What to do
Programming, display anomalies
Possible causes What to do
Protecting the environment
Recycling the packaging
Recovering and reprocessing
packaging material saves on
material and reduces the amount
of waste.
Take your packaging to the nearest recycling centre. Contact your
town’s local authorities for
details of its location.
Recycling your old
dishwasher
If you wish to dispose of your old
dishwasher, make it completely
unusable. Break the door lock so
that it cannot close (children can
become locked in when playing
inside the machine – risk of suffocation).
Remove the electrical plug and
cut off the power cable.
Take your unusable machine to
the nearest recycling centre.
Contact your town’s local authorities for details of its location.
Warning: Keep all the
packaging materials out of
children’s reach (e.g. plastic bags,
polystyrene, etc.): these can be
dangerous for children: risk of suf-
focation).
Washing economically
and ecologically
Do not wash the items first by
hand (unnecessary waste of
water). Use your dishwasher’s
capacity to the full. You will then
wash economically and ecologically.
Always select a washing programme suitable for the type of
items and how dirty they are.
Do not overdose with detergent,
regenerating salt or rinse aid.
Follow the recommendations in
these instructions (Pages 6 -7-8)
and the manufacturer’s instructions on the pack.
Ensure that the water softener is
set correctly (see Page 6)

-
Remove the filters and
clean them and the drain
hole. Remove any large
amounts of residue from
the plates before placing
them in the dishwasher.
- A normal but infrequent
occurrence only when
drying starts (connected with the temperature of the room,
draughts, etc.).
- Arrange the items correctly; use the most suitable areas and accessories for each type of
item (see Operating
Instructions).
- Check that the agitator
rotates freely (sizing
wire), set the basket to
the High position if necessary.
- Check the seating and
the tightness of the filter (screw it in fully to
the right).
- Remove and clean all the
filters (with warm water),
including the sieve.
-
Increase the amount of
detergent; try another
detergent.
- Select a programme
with a higher temperature.

the main filter at the end
of the cycle.
Steam appears approx.
20 minutes before the
end of the cycle (model
with ventilated drying).
Traces of food, deposits,
“grains of sand” in the
glasses.
Greasy marks.
- The drain hole and the
filters are blocked by
too much residue.
- The steam from drying
is in contact with a flow
of cold air.
- The washing up has
been badly arranged
(items masked by
another, larger item or
placed under it, items
side by side or nesting
together).
- The upper agitator is
blocked by cutlery,
plates, etc.)
- The filter is not screwed
in tightly and is lifting
during washing
- The micro-filter’s sieve
is clogged.

Traces of rust on stainless
steel
A lot of drops on the
glasses
Drops on plastic glasses,
Tefal coatings, etc.
Drying is less good in
rapid programmes.
Condensation on the
walls of the inner door or
the tub.
- The quality of the stainless steel (in knives in
particular) is unsuitable
for washing in a machine.
- Insufficient or no rinse
aid.
- The dose has not been
distributed.
- Position of the items.
- These insulating items
have a low calorific
mass.
-
In the rapid pro-
grammes, the drying
temperature and the
drying time are reduced
to restrict the length of
the cycle to a minimum
level.
-
Condensation may form
on the walls, particularly after cooling down
(sound insulation
increases its occurrence).
- Use special “dishwasher-safe” cutlery
- Check that the salt pot’s
stopper is firmly closed.
- Check the indicator light
and fill the reservoir
completely.
- If the reservoir is not
empty after approximately 60 washes, call
an engineer.
- To relieve the problem,
arrange the items so as
to restrict as much as
possible any water
retention: if possible,
leave the door ajar for a
few minutes.
- Arrange them optimally,
prioritising the use of
the upper basket if possible.
- Select the most appropriate rapid programme.
Troubleshooting, what to do?
Poor operation
Possible causes What to do
Poor washing results Possible causes What to do
- Check that there is salt
in the reservoir (light
unlit = OK)
- Check the water hardness
at the tap and that the
water softener is set correctly. Set it on a higher
setting if necessary.
- Wate
r too hard for using
a “3 in 1” detergent
(not recommended).
- Check that the salt pot’s
stopper is firmly closed.
- Check the water hardness at the tap and that
the water softener is
set correctly. Some
detergent tablets are
more aggressive to
glasses and decorations
(change the detergent,
use a protective product
if necessary).
- Turn the open ends (of
glasses, bowls, etc.)
towards the jets
- Increase the amount of
detergent
- Select a more suitable
programme, with a
higher temperature.
- Check the indicator light
and fill the reservoir
completely, set the dispenser to the upper
position if necessary.
- Replace with a recent
agent (a good rinse aid
dilutes easily and foams
in cold water).
- Chalky film (can be
removed with vinegar).
- Traces of salt
(item ahs a salty taste)
- Opalisation of the glass
because water too soft
(cannot be removed).
- Items poorly arranged
- Not enough or poor
detergent
- Programme with too
low a temperature.
- Insufficient or no rinse
aid.
- Poor or out-of-date
rinse aid.
