3/ INFORMATIONS

Important:

For your dishwasher to provide impeccable washing and drying results with no marks, you must set it correctly using the water softening system, which uses regenerating salt.

•

THE WATER HARDNESS

•

Lime:

rainwater filtering through the ground picks up mineral salts; some minerals are found in solid form commonly termed lime. This reduces the washing detergent’s performance, furs up the dishwasher and leaves white marks on the crockery.

The more lime there is in the water, the more the water is called “hard”.

Use the most suitable products for the level of water hardness in your town.

There are several types of products; how to choose:

For impeccable results, preferably use a combination of traditional products:

①①

Washing detergent

to clean the crockery perfectly (powder, liquid or standard tablets).

②②

Regenerating salt

to enable your dishwasher’s water softener to operate correctly.

③③

Rinsing liquid

to assist drying and to

eliminate marks from water droplets.

Important:

Never use washing-up liquid.

For ease of use and only in certain water hardness conditions < 35°F, multi-purpose products

may make the

use of rinsing liquid or salt unnecessary.

• “Two-in-one” products

contain detergents, rinsing liquid or an agent acting as the salt.

• “Three-in-one” products

contain detergents, rinsing liquid and an agent acting as the salt.

• “Four-in-one” products

also contain additives that prevent wear on poor quality glasses and /or prevent the risks of the stainless steel corroding.

Important:

Follow the instructions for using the multi-purpose product and the recommendations on the pack.

NB:

If in any doubt, please contact the detergent manufacturer if the crockery is very wet at the end of the programme or if chalky deposits appear.

4/ ACTIONS BEFORE FIRST USE

Possible to use

traditional products

➊

Use of traditional products

only

➊

First of all, in one simple action, you can test the lime content in your water using the testing strip supplied with your dishwasher or you can contact your local water utility to find out how hard your water is.

— Turn on the tap and let the water run for a few minutes. — Fill a glass with water. — Take the testing strip out of its casing and immerse it for 3 seconds. — Wait 1 minute, shake the strip and look at the colours to find out how hard your water is.

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

5/ DETERGENT PRODUCTS AND SETTING THE WATER SOFTENER

• FOR TRADITIONAL PRODUCTS

Important:

It is very important to set your water softener correctly.

- If the setting is too low, there is a risk of chalky marks

- If the setting is too high, there is the risk of the glasses becoming cloudy

If you move house, re-adjust the setting on your water softener.

• Traditional tablets

Place tablets that are not multi-purpose in the external compartment (Fig 04) or, for optimum operation, pull out the distributor’s drawer and lay the tablet there. (Fig 05)

• Powder or liquid in the distributor’s drawer (Fig 03)

Fill at least up to the minimum mark for slightly dirty crockery and up to the maximum mark for dirty crockery. If the crockery is very dirty or for programmes with pre-wash, we recommend that you add 5g of detergent (a dessertspoonful) to the tub in accordance with the programmes table.

Important:

Keep these products in a dry place, out of children’s reach.

Only use products specially designed for dishwashers.

•

Your appliance must be specially set to use traditional products

• Proceed as follows to adjust the water softener on the control panel:

— Access setting mode by holding down the “Set ” button until you hear a double audible signal (long beep). — The screen displays “SEt” to indicate that you are in Setting mode. — To adjust and alter the setting to suit the water hardness, keep on briefly pressing one of the keys or the other. The screen shows you the setting H0, H1, H2 etc... — The setting is validated automatically after 10 seconds if the

“Set”

button in not pressed again.

To do this, keep on briefly pressing one or other of the

keys until you reach the desired setting.

• Proceed to set the option, if necessary

(Light unlit) : deactivates the “4 en 1” option

(Light flashing)

: corresponds to activation of the

“4 en 1” function with the setting for “Sparkling Clean”. This enables you to prioritise a

brilliant finish for your crockery.

(Light permanently lit) : corresponds to activation of the

“4 en 1”

function with the setting for “Extra Dry”.

““EExxttrraa ddrryy””

enhances the drying results if performance is reduced.

— The setting is validated automatically after 10 seconds if the

“Set”

button in not pressed again.

• Your appliance can be specially set to use multi-purpose if the water hardness is < 25°F or < 2,5 mmo/l.

Advice:

To provide better coverage of the wide range of multi-purpose products available, your

dishwasher’s “4-in-1” option has two possible settings, accessible via the “Set” button.

“Extra Dry”

improves the drying results in the event of reduced performance from the

“2-in-1”, “3-in-1”

or “4-in-1” types of multi-purpose product.

“Sparkling Clean”

enables you to prioritise the sparkle of your crockery whatever the type of

multi-purpose product used.

LOADING THE REGENERATING SALT

EAU

SEL

Fig. 06

•

Loading the regenerating salt

(Fig. 06)

Important :

Only use special dishwasher regenerating salt. Do not use table salt or any type of cooking salt: this could damage your appliance’s water softener.

Unscrew and remove the stopper on the

salt tank.

Fill the tank with

rreeggeenneerraattiinngg ssaalltt

spe-

cially designed for dishwashers.

Use the funnel supplied with your dishwasher. The first time, top up with water up to the rim of the tank.

•

Regenerating salt indicator :

This illuminates when salt must be added. After the tank has been filled with regenerating salt, the indicator light may remain lit until the salt has dissolved sufficiently, usually after one cycle (of if the tank has not been filled completely; for example, when first putting the machine into service using the sample). This can be deactivated as indicated in the paragraph “For multi-purpose products” setting table.

Important :

If the salt overflows when filling the tank, to avoid oxidization of the tub it is advisable to remove the salt crystals or to run a Soaking programme.

LOADING THE RINSING PRODUCT

Adjustment lever

Fig. 07

• The rinsing product (Fig. 07)

Important:

Use a special dishwasher rinsing product; this will give you dry, sparkling crockery.

Before switching on the appliance, fill the rinsing product container until the level is flush with the top of the setting lever.

Adjust, if necessary; the original setting is 2. If you experience poor drying or residual marks after a few cycles, increase the setting by turning the lever (fig 07 : marking 3 to increase it)

• Checking the level of rinsing liquid

This lights when rinsing liquid must be added. It can be deactivated as shown in the paragraph “For multi-purpose products” setting table.

Important:

If any rinsing liquid overflows onto the door when filling the container, sponge away the excess to avoid foam forming.

8/ YOUR DISHWASHER’S EQUIPMENT

Fig. 09

Very important :

Items not suitable for washing in a dishwasher

- Wooden cutting boards,

- Stainless steel utensils or plastic utensils that are not heat-resistant,

- Copper or pewter items,

- Glued crockery and cutlery,

- Cutlery with wooden, horn or mother-of-pearl handles,

- Antique or hand-painted porcelain. When purchasing crockery, glasses or cutlery, ensure that it is dishwasher-safe.

• THE LOWER BASKET

Arrange your items so that the water can circulate freely and spray over all the utensils. Place large diameter dishes and pans at the sides. Do not intersperse, jam together or superimpose flat plates and concave dishes (Fig. 08). The folding spikes make it easier to arrange your large dishes (Fig. 09) (depending on the model).

Advice :

When you re-insert the lower basket, ensure that nothing catches on the upper basket’s gauge wire to avoid blocking the rotor.

Unloading your items First of all empty the lower basket to avoid drips from the upper basket falling onto the lower basket.

Fig. 08

8/ YOUR DISHWASHER’S EQUIPMENT

Fig. 11

Fig. 10

• THE UPPER BASKET

This basket is particularly designed to take: glasses, cups, ramekins, small salad bowls, bowls, saucers, etc... Arrange your items methodically to save on space (arranging glasses, cups or bowls together, etc.) You can also arrange cups, ladles, etc. on the retractable supports (Fig. 10)

Advice :

Position the cavities of glasses, cups

or bowls facing downwards.

Cutlery basket

• Adjusting the height of the upper basket

(depending on the model) For large dishes to be loaded in the lower basket, the upper basket must be set in to high position. This can be done with the basket fully loaded (Fig. 11)

①①

Setting in HIGH POSITION :

Gently raise your basket on each side until it engages.

②②

Setting in LOW POSITION :

Raise your basket completely on both sides to unlock it and then lower it to the low position.

Important :

Check that the two slides are set to the

same height and the basket is horizontal.

8/ YOUR DISHWASHER’S EQUIPMENT

Fig. 13

• THE CUTLERY BASKET

The cutlery basket slides to allow for modulable loading.

It can be placed anywhere in the lower basket. You can therefore make a variety of loads depending on the items (Fig. 12).

If your cutlery items or your dishes are too large, alter the height setting for the upper basket (if it can be adjusted, depending on the model).

Movable grills are available for if you wish to load your cutlery in an orderly manner

(Fig.

13). For optimum washing and drying, use these separation grills partially or totally.

Point the handles on the cutlery downwards.

Important :

For safety reasons, we recommend that you place knives with pointed ends with the point facing downwards in the cutlery basket (to avoid the risk of an accident). Long-bladed knives and other sharp kitchen utensils must be placed flat in the upper basket.

Avoid washing cutlery with horn handles in your dishwasher. Separate silverware from other metals using the separation grill.

Fig. 12

9/ THE DISHWASHER’S SAFETY SYSTEMS

•

Anti-overflow system

This system automatically activates the drain pump if the water level in the tub reaches an abnormal height.

•

Anti-leak system

This system interrupts the water supply if a leak is detected under the appliance.

•

Total safety

This supply pipe is fitted with a device to cut off the water supply directly at the tap if there is a leak.

•

If an anomaly occurs

The “End” light flashes rapidly. The screen shows the anomaly code: please refer to the table on page 51.

Periodically :

Every 3 or 4 months, in order to remove any deposits, run a special maintenance programme, without any items in the machine, using a commercially available special dishwasher cleaning product.

Important :

Keep this product out of children’s reach..

•

Prolonged stoppage

Clean your dishwasher completely and then unplug it from the electricity supply and close the water tap. Protect your machine from potential frosts

Advice :

Do not use abrasive powders, metal sponges and alcohol-based or thinner-based prod-

ucts. Use a cloth or a sponge.

If you are moving house, run a soaking programme first of all, in order to avoid any water escaping.

13/ IF OPERATING ANOMALIES OCCUR

• THE INDICATOR LIGHTS

Problem Possible Causes What to do ?

The salt light does not go out - No salt or an insufficient quan-

tity of salt in the tank to trigger the float.

Refill the tank and wait for the cycle to end. If you have soft water that requires no salt, the light is constantly lit.

The lights all light up one after the other

A light flashes and the programme does not start

- Wrong programme.

Programme selector wrongly positioned (between two notches)

- Cancel the current programming by holding down the Start button for 3 seconds and then re-programme.

- Reposition the selector on a programme.

• RELATING TO PROGRAMMING, DISPLAY

Problem Possible Causes What to do ?

The cycle lasts too long - lThe energy-saving program-

mes last longer because the agitation and drying times are longer to compensate for the lower washing and drying temperatures

- Use these programmes preferably at night when it is not so important how long the programme lasts or when it ends.

The appliance trips the circuit breaker

- Insufficient amperage to supply all the appliances being operated simultaneously.

- Internal fault in the appliance.

- Check the socket’s amperage (10A minimum) and the meter’s capacity.

- Call a technician.

The appliance does not start - No mains power to the socket.

- Tap closed.

(Cf. table fault d01).

- Selection error or programme lock.

- Start button pressed too long (>2”).

Appliance in Safety mode (antileak).

(Cf. table fault d07).

- Check the socket and the fuse

- Check the tap is open.

- Check the hose line is OK.

- Cancel by holding down Start for 3” and re-programme.

- Just press Start briefly to start the programme.

- Call a technician.

13/ IF OPERATING ANOMALIES OCCUR

Problem Possible C

auses

What to do?

Food traces and deposits in the glasses

- Items poorly arranged (masked by another larger item or situated underneath it, items nested or jammed together).

- Upper spray arm blocked by cutlery or a dish etc.

- Filter poorly locked and lifting during washing.

- Micro filter screen clogged.

- One or more holes in the spray arm blocked.

- Arrange the items properly. Use the most appropriate areas and accessories for each type of item (see instructions).

- Check that the spray arm rotates freely. Set the basket in the high position if necessary.

- Check the filter’s facing and that the filter is locked in place (push it in fully, turning it to the right)

- Remove all the filters and clean them (in warm water), including the micro filter’s screen (once a month).

- Remove the spray arm by turning the lever a quarter of a turn and clean it under the tap (do not use any tool that could damage the holes). Re-install the spray arm.

Traces of grease - Detergent dose too low; ineffi-

cient detergent; stale product.

- Inappropriate programme (temperature too low; duration too short).

Increase the dose; try another detergent.

- Select a programme with a higher temperature.

• POOR WASHING RESULTS

Problem Possible Causes What to do?

The appliance will not restart - Door opened during a

washing cycle.

- Wait for the time delay to end (controlled internally by the appliance).

The appliance does not drain

(Cf. table fault d02).

- The cover has not been removed from the sink’s U-bend.

- Drain hose kinked.

- Filters totally blocked.

- Pump blocked.

- Remove the cover.

- Check the drain hose line behind the machine is OK.

- Remove and clean the filters and the drain.

- Initiate a Soaking programme If the fault persists, call a technician.

The appliance will no longer function (see table, fault 14).

- installation of non-compliant drainage system: drainage too low down or pipe pushed too far in.

- siphoning: the appliance is emptying as the same time as it is filling up.

- adhere to the drainage tube installation dimensions.

13/ IF OPERATING ANOMALIES OCCUR

• POOR WASHING RESULTS...

White marks (identify what type)

- Chalky film (removable with vinegar).

- Traces of salt (items have a salty taste).

- Check that there is salt in the tank (light unlit = OK).

- Check the water hardness at the tap and that the water softener is set correctly. Adjust it to a higher level if necessary.

- Water too hard for using a “4in-1” detergent without the addition of salt.

- Check that the stopper on the salt container is closed correctly.

White marks (identify what type)

- Glass cloudy because water too soft (cannot be removed).

- Check the water hardness at the tap and that the water softener is set correctly. Some detergents in pellet form are more aggressive to glasses and decorations (change the product and use a protective product if necessary).

Coloured marks (tea, wine, coffee)

- Items poorly arranged

- Detergent dose too low ; inefficient detergent

- Programme temperature too low.

- If you use a multifunction

product.

- Turn the cavities in the items towards the jets.

- Increase the dose; try another detergent.

- Select a more suitable programme with a higher temperature.

- Use the “4-in-1” option. (depending on the model).

Streaks or dried droplets on glasses

- Lack or insufficient amount of rinsing product.

- Rinsing product out-of-date or

inefficient.

- If you use a multifunction

product.

- Check the indicator light and fill the tank completely. Adjust the dispensing unit to a higher position if necessary.

- Use a recent product (a good product dilutes easily and foams in cold water).

- Use the “4-in-1” option with a setting prioritizing drying (parametering from the menu depending on the model).

Dried-on marks on glasses, dullness

- If you use a multifunction product.

- Use the “4-in-1” option with a setting prioritizing brilliance (parametering from the menu depending on the model).

13/ IF OPERATING ANOMALIES OCCUR

• POOR OPERATION

Problem Possible Causes What to do ?

Constant filling

A lot of waste on the large filter at the end of the cycle.

- (Cf. table fault d12). Drain hole situated too low for the appliance.

- The filters and drain outlets are blocked with too much residue.

- Drain wand fallen on the floor.

- Remove and clean the filters and the bottom of the drain outlets. Remove large residue from the plates before putting them in the machine.

Traces of rust on stainless steel - Quality of the stainless steel

not dishwasher-safe (knives in particular)

- Use “special dishwasher-safe” cutlery.

- Check that the stopper on the salt container is closed correctly.

• POOR DRYING RESULTS

Problem Possible Causes What to do?

A lot of droplets on the glasses. - Lack or insufficient amount of

rinsing product.

- The dose has not been distributed.

- Positioning of the items.

- Check the indicator light and f

ill the t

ank completely.

- If the tank is not empty after approximately 60 washings, call a technician.

- To alleviate the phenomenon, arrange the items to restrict water retention as much as possible. Leave the door ajar for a few minutes, if possible

Droplets on plastic items, Tefal coatings, etc.

- These insulating items have a low calorific mass.

- Arrange them preferably in the upper basket.

Poorer drying on rapid programmes

On rapid programmes, the drying temperature and drying period are reduced to cut down the duration of the cycle as much as possible.

- Select a rapid programme carefully or leave the door ajar for a few minutes.

Condensation on the wall of the inside door or the tub.

Condensation may form on the walls, particularly after the appliance has cooled down (sound insulation increases the phenomenon)
