1/ FOR THE USER’S ATTENTION

-- The dishwasher must always be connected to the water system using new hose sets.

-- If the appliance is installed on a carpet floor, take care that the openings in its base are not
obstructed
— 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 your nearest Blanco serv­ice providers.

4/ WHAT TO DO BEFORE FIRST USING THE MACHINE 3/ INFORMATION

Important:

To obtain impeccable washing and
drying results from your dishwasher without
any marks, you must set it carefully using the
water softening system, which utilises rege­nerating salt (rock salt).

- Use the most suitable washing products for
the hardness of your town’s water supply.

- There are several types of products:

As rainwater infiltrates into the ground it picks
up mineral salts; some minerals are found in
solid form and are commonly called ‘lime’.
This reduces the detergent’s washing perfor­mance and leaves white marks on the
crockery.
The more lime there is in the water, the ‘harder’
the water is.

For an impeccable clean, opt for
using traditional products together:

①①

Washing product

for a perfect clean

(standard powder, liquid or tablets).

②②

Regenerating salt (rock salt)

for
your dishwasher’s water softener to work
correctly.

③③

Rinsing liquid

to assist drying and eli-

minate drip marks.

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” tablets

also contain
additives that prevent wear on poor quality
glasses or the risk of stainless items corro­ding.

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.

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.
