Audible signals

Audible signals have been introduced to help indicate which
operations the dishwasher is performing.

Short "instruction accepted" signal

When any of the pushbuttons are pressed, a short audible
signal informs you that the machine has accepted the
instruction given.

Long "programme run" signal

A continuous audible signal informs you, once closed the
door, that the washing programme is starting.

Intermittent "end of programme" signal

An short intermittent audible signal informs you that the
washing programme has ended.

"Alarm" intermittent signal

The machine is fitted with a number of alarm systems to
help you determine the cause of any problems (see
"Something not working").
An intermittent audible signal informs you that an alarm is
activated.

To deactivate these audible signals, press simultaneously both
"programme selector" and "drying options" push buttons for
at least 3 seconds. During these 3 seconds an intermittent
audible signal is heard at the end of which the audible signals
will be deactivated.

To reactivate these audible signals, press simultaneously both
"programme selector" and "drying options" push buttons for
at least 3 seconds. At the end of which an intermittent audible
signal will inform you that the audible signals have been
reactivated.

Both operations (to deactivate or reactivate the audible
signals) can be carried out before starting or during a
washing programme.

Before using your dishwasher for the first time:

1. Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply

with the installation instructions

2. Remove all packaging from inside the appliance

3. Set the water softener

4. Pour 1 litre of water inside the salt container and then fill

with salt

5. Fill the rinse aid dispenser.

6. Run a "Rinse and Hold" programme.

Setting the water softener

The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener designed to
remove minerals and salts from the water supply, which would
have a detrimental or adverse effect on the operation of the
appliance.

The higher the content of these salts, the harder your water is.
Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, German

degrees, French degrees and PPM (parts per Million).
The 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 your area.

The dishwasher is factory set at level 4.
If this level is not suitable for your area the softener should be

adjusted.

If your water is level 0 it is already soft and therefore
there is no need to use salt.
With the setting of the water softener at level 0 the salt
indicator light on the control panel will always remain off.
Use salt from level 1 upwards.

The adjustment of the water softener is possible only with
the machine in setting mode.

To select a different level proceed as follows:

1. Press "half load" and "drying options" push buttons

simultaneously for about 5 seconds. In the display appears
a "L" followed by a number which corresponds to the
current level.

2. Press within 5 seconds the "drying options" push button

(the "no dry" indicator light flashes) as many times as
necessary until the required level appears in the display.
The level increases by 1 each time the button is pressed.

3. 5 seconds after this button has last been pressed, the
dishwasher memorises the level selected and returns to the
programme setting mode.
The setting will remain memorised after switching off the
dishwasher.

Filling with salt

Only use salt specifically designed for use in
dishwashers.
All other types of salt not specifically designed for use in
a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water
softener.
Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete
washing programmes. This will prevent any grains of salt
or salty water, which may have been spilled, remaining on
the bottom of the machine for any period of time, which
may cause corrosion.

To fill:

1. To fill with salt, unscrew the cap of the salt

container.

2. Pour 1 litre of water inside
the container (this is
necessary only before filling
with salt for the first time).

3. Using the funnel provided,
pour in the salt until the
container is full.
Do not worry if water over
flows from the unit when
filling with salt, this is quite
normal.

4. Replace the cap making sure that there is no trace
of salt on the screw thread or on the gasket.

5. Screw on the cap tightly.

The salt container will require topping up periodically.
You are reminded of this by the salt indicator light on the

control panel which comes on when the salt has finished.

The salt indicator light on the control panel can remain
illuminated for 2-6 hours after the salt has been
replenished, assuming the dishwasher remains switched
on. If you are using salts that take longer to dissolve then
this can take longer. The function of the machine is not
affected.
