1 / FOR THE USER’S ATTENTION

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

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).

• 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.

This may provoke steam leakage or splattering
of water.

EN

1 / FOR THE USER’S ATTENTION

— 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.

You should use products suited to the water
hardness in your particular area.

•

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.

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.

4 / ACTIONS BEFORE FIRST USE

In one simple action, you can test the your water’s lime content using the testing strip supplied with
your dishwasher. Alternatively, contact your local water utility to ascertain your water’s hardness.

— Let the water run from the tap for a few moments.
— 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.

• MEASURE THE WATER HARDNESS AND SELECT THE TYPE OF
DETERGENT : TRADITIONAL OR MULTI-PURPOSE

5 / WATER SOFTENER ADJUSMENTS

Important :

IIt is essential to correctly adjust the water softener according to the hardness of the water in
your area.

- If the adjustment is too low, scale may be left on the dishes.

- If the adjustment is too high, there is a risk of glasses becoming cloudy.

If you move house, adjust the water softener again.

• Proceed as follows to adjust the water softener to the control table :

—

This adjustment is to be done at the “SET” Adjustment stages (see page 41).

— To change the adjustment between

HH00

and

HH66

, according to the water hardness (see the table

below), briefly press the up or down buttons

successively. The display will indicate the

adjustment

.

— Make sure you validate the adjustment by briefly pressing “Start” twice (to exit the “SET”
Adjustment menu, see page 41).

— To use multi-function tablets you must select adjustment H0 or H1 or H2, according to the water
hardness. < 25ºF. Make the adjustment as indicated on page 41.

Important :

Adjustment H0 disables the salt refill indicator light.
