If you want to use combi detergent
tablets such as: ''3 in 1'', ''4 in 1'', ''5

given in "Use of detergent".
Set 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 minerals and
salts, the harder your water is. Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, German degrees (dH°), French degrees (°TH)
and mmol/l (millimol per litre - international
unit for the hardness of water).
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 water softener must be set in two
ways: manually, using the water hardness dial and electronically.

level 6 is selected,
if the current level is 10, by pressing programme selection/cancel button once,
level 1 is selected.

dishwasher by pressing the On/Off button.
Use of dishwasher salt
Warning!
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 spilt, remaining
on the bottom of the machine for any period
of time, which may cause corrosion.
To fill:
1. Open the door, remove the lower basket
and unscrew the cap of the salt container
by turning it anticlockwise.
2. Pour 1 litre of water into 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.
6
4. Replace the cap making sure that there
is no trace of salt on the screw thread or
on the gasket.
5. Replace the cap tightly turning it clockwise until it stops with a click.
Do not worry if water overflows from the
unit when filling with salt, this is quite
normal.
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 salt that takes longer
to dissolve then this can take longer.
The operation of the machine is not
affected.
Use of rinse aid
Warning! Only use branded rinse aid for
dishwashers.
Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any
other substances (e.g. dishwasher
cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This
would damage the appliance.
Rinse aid ensures thorough rinsing, and
spot and streak free drying.
Rinse aid is automatically added during
the last rinse.
1. Open the container by pressing the release button (A).
2. Add the rinse aid in the container. The
maximum level for filling is indicated by
"max".
The dispenser holds about 110 ml of rinse
aid, which is sufficient for between 16 and
40 washing cycles, depending upon the
dosage setting.
3. Ensure that the lid is closed after every
refill.
Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling
with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess
foaming during the next wash.
According to the finish and drying results obtained, adjust the dose of rinse aid by means
of the 6 position selector (position 1 minimum
dosage, position 6 maximum dosage).
The dose is factory set in position 4.
Increase the dose if there are drops of water
or lime spots on the dishes after washing.
7
Reduce it if there are sticky whitish streaks
on the dishes or a bluish film on glassware or
knife blades.
Top up the rinse aid when the indicator (B)
becomes clear.
Daily use
• Check if it’s necessary to refill with
dishwasher salt or rinse aid.
• Load cutlery and dishes into the
dishwasher.
• Fill with dishwasher detergent.

Helpful hints and tips
Sponges, household cloths and any object
that can absorb water may not be washed in
the dishwasher.
• Before loading the dishes, you should:
– Remove all left over food and debris.
– Soften remnants of burnt food in pans
• When loading the dishes and cutlery,
please note:
– Dishes and cutlery must not impede the
rotation of the spray arms.
– Load hollow items such as cups,
glasses, pans, etc. with the opening
downwards so that water cannot collect
in the container or a deep base.
– Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie
inside one another, or cover each other.
– To avoid damage to glasses, they must
not touch.
– Lay small objects in the cutlery basket.
• Plastic items and pans with non stick coatings have a tendency to retain water
drops; these items will not dry as well as
porcelain and steel items.
• Light items (plastic bowls etc.) must be
loaded in the upper basket and arranged
so they do not move.
