Important :

Keep this user’s manual with your appliance. If the appliance is sold or transferred to someone else, ensure that the manual is with it. Please take note of these instructions before installing and using your appliance. They have been drawn up for your own and other people’s safety.

• SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Installation

— When you receive your appliance, unpack it or have it unpacked immediately. Check that it has not suffered any damage during transport. Express any reservations in writing on the delivery note, of which you keep a copy. Never connect up a damaged machine. If your appliance is damaged, please contact your dealer. — Before proceeding to connect up your machine, please refer to the instructions in your Installation Guide. — Your dishwasher must be kept disconnected from the mains supply throughout the whole of the installation process. — The electrical connection details on your appliance’s description plate must comply with those for the mains supply. — The socket must still be accessible once your appliance has been installed. — Do not alter or attempt to alter the appliance’s characteristics. This could put you at risk. — If your installation has to be altered, only entrust the electrical and plumbing work to a qualified electrician or plumber respectively. — Your appliance is designed for normal domestic use. Do not use it for industrial or commercial purposes or for any other purpose than that for which it has been designed. — Your appliance is designed to be used for household and similar applications such as:

• staff kitchenettes in shops, offices and other professional environments,

• farmhouses,

• use by guests at hotels, motels and other residential-type facilities,

• bed and breakfast type facilities.

— The dishwasher’s walls must not be pierced under any circumstances.

• Children’s safety

— This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons unless they have been adequately supervised by a responsible person to ensure that they can use the appliance safely. — This appliance must only be used by adults. Ensure that children do not touch it and do not use it as a toy. Ensure that they do not operate the appliance’s controls. — Keep young children away from the appliance when it is operating. — Detergents contain irritant and abrasive substances. These products can have caustic effects on the eyes, the mouth or the throat. They can be extremely dangerous if ingested. Avoid any contact with the skin and the eyes. Ensure that the appliance’s detergent container is empty at the end of the washing cycle. — Place detergents out of children’s reach and do not put any detergent in the machine until just before you start the washing programme. — The water in your dishwasher is not drinking water; this is why children must not go near the appliance when its door is open. — Do not allow children to play with or sit on the door when it is open, as the dishwasher could overturn. — Once you have unpacked your appliance, place the packaging out of children’s reach. — Keep all the packaging materials (e.g. plastic bags, polystyrene, etc.) out of children’s reach because they can be dangerous for children (ie. risk of suffocation).

1 / FOR THE USER’S ATTENTION

• Use

— This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. — When machine is running, do not open door. This may provoke steam leakage or splattering of water. — Only use products specially designed for your dishwasher (water softening salt, detergent and rinsing products). — As far as possible, avoid opening the dishwasher’s door when it is operating, and in particular during the heating phases, because scalding steam may escape or you may be splashed with hot water. The machine is fitted with a safety system that immediately blocks the dishwasher’s operation if the door is opened. — Never use chemical solvents in your appliance because these could cause an explosion. — Always close your appliance’s door after loading or removing your items. — Do not lean or sit on your appliance’s door when it is open. — You are strongly advised to disconnect the machine after use and turn off the water supply. — Unplug your machine before carrying out any technical work on it. — Avoid placing your machine immediately next to a cooking or heating appliance to prevent any risk of heat damage; — Do not place any items in your machine, which are not certified as dishwasher safe. — If you have removed an item before the end of the washing programme, it is important to rinse it carefully to remove any residual washing products. — If your appliance breaks down, never attempt to repair it yourself. Any repairs made by non-qualified personnel can cause significant damage or lack of control. — The machine complies with applicable safety regulations. Any repairs should be carried out by qualified technicians. Repairs or changes that do not conform may be dangerous for the users. In case of replacement, only use original parts. — If the machine malfunctions due to other causes than those mentioned in this booklet, disconnect the machine (remove the plug) or break the circuit concerned and contact after-sales service.

3 / INFORMATION

•

There are so many different types of product. How can I choose the best one ?

For impeccably clean dishes, you should use a combination of classic products :

①①

Wash product

for perfectly clean

dishes (powder or liquid detergent or

standard tablets).

②②

Dishwasher salt

for correct

functioning of your dishwasher’s water

softener.

③③

Rinse aid

to help the dishes dry

and eliminate drop marks

Important :

For your dishwasher to provide

excellent washing and drying results and

leave no marks, you must correctly adjust it

using the water softening system, which

works with dishwasher salt.

•

Scale,

when rainwater filters into the soil,

it takes in mineral salts, some of which are

found in solid form and are commonly

referred to as scale. Scale in the water

reduces the detergent’s washing efficiency,

causes deposits to form on the dishwasher

itself and leaves white marks on the dishes.

The more scale there is in the water, the “harder”

the water is.

You should use products suited to the water

hardness in your particular area.

Important :

Never use normal washing-up liquid.

For ease of use and in certain water hardness conditions only (< 25°F), multi-purpose products

can make the

use of regenerating salt and rinsing liquid

unnecessary.

• “Two-in-one” tablets

contain

detergents and rinsing liquid or an

agent serving the function of the salt.

• “Three-in-one” tablets

contain

detergents and rinsing liquid as well as

an agent serving the function of the salt.

• “Four-in-one” “Five-in-one” tablets...

also contain additives to

prevent “wear” to glasses (i.e. to stop

them clouding), risk of corrosion and

discolouring of stainless steel.

Important :

Follow the instructions in the user’s

manual and the recommendations on the

multi-purpose detergent’s pack.

NB :

If in any doubt, please contact the

detergent’s manufacturer if the items are

very wet at the end of the programme or if

chalky deposits appear.

— Fill a glass with water.

— Take the test strip from its holder and immerse it for 3 seconds.

— Wait 1 minute, shake it and look at the colours to ascertain your water’s hardness.
