FIRST TIME USE

SALT, RINSE AID AND DETERGENT

ADVICE REGARDING THE FIRST TIME USE

After installation, remove the stoppers from the racks and the retaining elastic elements from the upper rack.

FILLING THE SALT RESERVOIR

The use of salt prevents the formation of LIMESCALE on the dishes and on the machine’s functional components.

•It is important that the salt reservoir be never empty.

•It is important to set the water hardness.

The salt reservoir is located in the lower part of the dishwasher (see PRODUCT DESCRIPTION) and should be filled when the SALT REFILL indicator light in the control panel is lit .

1. Remove the lower rack and unscrew the

reservoir cap (anticlockwise).

2. Only the first time you do this: fill the salt re-

servoir with water.

3. Position the funnel (see figure) and fill the salt

reservoir right up to its edge (approximately 1 kg); it is not unusual for a little water to leak out.

4.Remove the funnel and wipe any salt residue away from the opening.

Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly, so that no detergent can get into the container during the wash program (this could damage the water softener beyond repair).

Whenever you need to add salt, we recommend carrying out the procedure before the washing cycle is started.

SETTING THE WATER HARDNESS

To allow the water softener to work in a perfect way, it is essential that the water hardness setting is based on the actual water hardness in your house. This information can be obtained from your local water supplier.

The factory setting is for average (3) water hardness.

•Switch on the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.

•Switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.

•Hold down button P for 5 seconds, until you hear a beep.

•Switch on the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.

•The program indicator light of the current set level flashes.

•Press button P to select the desired hardness level (see WATER HARDNESS TABLE).

Water Hardness Table

	Level	°dH		°fH
		German degrees		French degrees
1	Soft	0	- 6	0 - 10
2	Medium	7 - 11		11 - 20
3	Average	12	- 17	21 - 30
4	Hard	17	- 34	31 - 60
5	Very hard	35	- 50	61 - 90

• Switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button. Setting is complete!

As soon as this procedure is complete, run a program without loading.

Only use salt that has been specifically designed for dishwashers.

After the salt has been poured into the machine, the SALT REFILL indicator light switches off.

If the salt container is not filled, the water softener and the heating element may be damaged as a result.

FILLING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER

Rinse aid makes dish DRYING eas ier. The rinse aid dispenser A should be filled when the RINSE AID REFILL indicator light in the control panel is lit.

A

B

1.Open the dispenser B by pressing and pulling up the tab on the lid.

2.Pour in the rinse aid (max.110 ml), making sure it does not overflow from the dispenser. If this happens, clean the spill immediately with a dry cloth.

3.Press the lid down until you hear a click to close it.

NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the appliance tub.

ADJUSTING THE DOSAGE OF RINSE AID

If you are not completely satisfied with the drying results, you can adjust the quantity of rinse aid used.

•Switch the dishwasher on using the ON/OFF button.

•Switch it off using the ON/OFF button.

•Press button P three times - a beep will be heard.

•Switch it on using the ON/OFF button.

•The program indicator light of the current set level flashes.

•Press button P to select the level of rinse aid quantity to be supplied.

•Switch it off using the ON/OFF button

Setting is complete!

If the rinse aid level is set to ZERO (ECO), no rinse aid will be supplied. The LOW RINSE AID indicator light will not be lit if you run out of rinse aid. A maximum of 4 levels can be set according to the dishwasher model. The factory setting is specific to the model, please follow instruction above to check this for your machine.

•If you see bluish streaks on the dishes, set a low number (1-2).

•If there are drops of water or limescale marks on the dishes, set a mid-range number (3-4).

FILLING THE DETERGENT DISPENSER

To open the detergent dispenser use the opening device A. Introduce the detergent into the dry dispenser B only. Place the amount of detergent for pre-washing directly inside the tub.

	1.	When measuring out the detergent
		refer to the mentioned earlier infor-
		mation to add the proper quantity.
	B	Inside the dispenser B there are
		indications to help the detergent

ECO program data is measured under laboratory conditions according to European Standard EN 50242.

Note for Test Laboratories:

For information on comparative EN testing conditions, please send an email to the following address: [e-mail] Pre-treatment of the dishes is not needed before any of the programs.

*) The duration of the program shown on the display or in the booklet is an estimate calculated on standard conditions. The actual time may vary depending on many factors such as temperature and pressure of the incoming water, room temperature, amount of detergent, quantity and type of load, load balancing, additional selected options and sensor calibration. The sensor calibration can increase program duration up to 20 min.

Standby consumption: Left-on mode consumption: 5 W - Off mode consumption: 0.5 W

Program recommended for heavily soiled crockery, especially suitable for pans and saucepans (not to be used for delicate items).

3 NORMAL

Mixed soil. For normally soiled dishes with dried food residues.

4 EXPRESS 40’
