This could put you at risk. — If your installation has to be altered, only entrust the electrical and plumbing work to a qualified electrician or plumber respectively. — Your appliance is designed for normal domestic use. Do not use it for industrial or commercial purposes or for any other purpose than that for which it has been designed. — The dishwasher’s walls must not be pierced under any circumstances.

• Children’s safety

— This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons unless they have been adequately supervised by a responsible person to ensure that they can use the appliance safely. — This appliance must only be used by adults. Ensure that children do not touch it and do not use it as a toy. Ensure that they do not operate the appliance’s controls. — Keep young children away from the appliance when it is operating. — Detergents contain irritant and abrasive substances. These products can have caustic effects on the eyes, the mouth or the throat. They can be extremely dangerous if ingested. Avoid any contact with the skin and the eyes. Ensure that the appliance’s detergent container is empty at the end of the washing cycle. — Place detergents out of children’s reach and do not put any detergent in the machine until just before you start the washing programme. — The water in your dishwasher is not drinking water; this is why children must not go near the appliance when its door is open. — Do not let your children play or sit on the door when it is open. — Once you have unpacked your appliance, place the packaging out of children’s reach. — Keep all the packaging materials (e.g. plastic bags, polystyrene, etc.) out of children’s reach because they can be dangerous for children (ie. risk of suffocation).

• Use

— This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. — When machine is running, do not open door. This may provoke steam leakage or splattering of water.

1/ FOR THE USER’S ATTENTION

— 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 after-sales service.

3/ INFORMATION

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.

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.

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” “Five-in-one” tablets...

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

4/ WHAT TO DO BEFORE FIRST USING THE MACHINE

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.

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

5/ DETERGENT PRODUCTS AND ADJUSTING THE WATER SOFTENER

Important:

It is very important to set the water softener correctly.

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

- if the setting is too high, there is the risk of causing clouding of the glasses.

If you relocate, adjust the water softener setting as required.

• Traditional tablets

Non-multipurpose tablets should be placed in the external compartment (Fig 04) or, for optimum performance, pull out the dispenser drawer and lay the tablet inside (Fig 05).

• Powders or liquids (Fig 03)

Fill at least up to the minimum mark for slightly dirty crockery and to the maximum mark for dirty crockery. If the crockery is very dirty and for programmes with a pre-wash we recommend that you add 5g of detergent (a dessert spoonful) into your dishwasher’s tub in accordance with the programmes table.

Important:

Keep these products out of children’s reach and away from dampness.

Only use products specially designed for dishwashers.
