Before using your dishwasher for the first time:
1. Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply with the installation instructions
2. Remove all packaging from inside the appliance
3. Set the water softener
4. Pour 1 litre of water inside the salt container and then fill
with dishwasher salt
5. Fill the rinse aid dispenser
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, Clarke degrees, 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 both ways: manually, using the water hardness dial and electronically, using the programme selector dial and the start/cancel button.
a) Setting manually
1. Open the dishwasher door.
2. Remove the lower basket from the dishwasher.
3. Turn the water hardness dial to position 1 or 2 (see table).
4. Replace the lower basket.
The dishwasher is factory set at position 2.
b)Setting electronically
(The dishwasher must be switched off)
The dishwasher is factory set at level 5.
1. Keep the start/cancel button pressed and turn the programme selector dial clockwise until the programme selection marker corresponds with the first washing programme. The On/Off and start/cancel indicator lights start to flash indicating that you have activated the water softener setting function. At the same time, the End indicator light starts flashing.
The current level is indicated by the number of flashes of the End indicator light and a pause of about 5 seconds (see chart).
Example: 5 flashes + pause + 5 flashes etc...= level 5
2. To change the level, press the start/cancel button.
Each time this button is pressed the level changes. (For the selection of the new level, see chart).
Examples:
If current level is 5, by pressing the start/cancel button once, level 6 is selected.
If current level is 10, by pressing the start/cancel button once, level 1 is selected.
The End indicator light remains off for about 5 seconds and then starts flashing indicating the new set made.
3. To memorise the operation, switch off the machine by returning the programme selector dial to the Off position, that is the programme selection marker corresponds with the On/Off indicator light. Otherwise wait for about 60 seconds, after which the dishwasher will automatically return to setting mode.

Filling with dishwasher salt
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 inside 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.
4. Replace the cap making sure that there is no trace of salt on the screw thread or on the gasket.
5. Replace on the cap tightly turning it clockwise until it stops with a click.
The salt container will require topping up periodically. The salt cap has a refill
indicator window in the centre. A green float is clearly visible when there is salt inside the container and almost disappears when the salt has finished reminding you to add salt.
Do not worry if water over flows from the unit when filling with salt, this is quite normal.
Rinse aid
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying.
The dispenser, which is positioned inside the door, holds about 110 ml of rinse aid, which is sufficient for 16 - 40 dishwashing programmes, depending upon the dosage setting.
Filling with rinse aid
1. Open the container by pressing the release button (A).
2. Add the rinse aid until the container is completely full. The
maximum level for filling is indicated by "max".
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.
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.
Adjusting the dose
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.
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.

Load cutlery and dishes into the dishwasher.
Fill with dishwasher detergent .
Select a wash programme suitable for the cutlery and
dishes.
Start the wash programme.
Loading cutlery and dishes
Sponges, household cloths and any object that can absorb water may not be washed in the dishwasher.
Before loading the dishes, you should:
- Remove large left-overs.
- 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 teflon have a tendency to
retain water drops; these items will not dry as well as porcelain and steel items.
Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes.
The lower basket
The lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery etc.
Serving dishes and large lids should be arranged around the edge of the basket, ensuring that the spray arms can turn freely.

For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery/dishes
are of limited suitability:
- Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it is specifically marked as being dishwasher-safe by the manufacturer.
- Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed frequently
- Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to discolour during washing. Residues, e.g. egg white, egg yolk and mustard often cause discolouring and staining on silver. Therefore always clean left-overs from silver immediately, if it is not to be washed straight after use.
- Some types of glass can become dull after a large number of washes
are not suitable:
- Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or mother-of-pearl handles
- Plastic items that are not heat resistant
- Older cutlery with glued parts that is not temperature resistant
