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 salt

5. fill the rinse aid dispenser.

Setting 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 salts, the harder
your water is.

Water hardness is measured on Parts Per Million
(Ca CO

3). The softener can treat water hardness

up to 1200 ppm via 5 adjustment levels.
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.

If you use phosphate free detegents containing
enzymes, use salt even if the hardness of your
water is below level 1.

The dishwasher is factory set at level 2.
If this level is not suitable for your area the softener

should be adjusted.

To adjust the water softener:

With a screwdriver turn the selector on the upper
front corner of the machine until the level required
corresponds with the marker.

*

If your water is below level 1 it is already
soft and therefore there is no need to use
salt.
In this case adjust the setting of the water
softener on level 1 without using salt.

Filling with salt

Only use salt specifically designed for use
in dishwashers.
All other types of salt not specifically
designed for use in dishwasher, specially
table salt, will damage the water softener.

Only fill with salt just before starting one
of the complete washing programmes (not
the Rinse and Hold programme). This will
prevent any grains of salt or salty water,
which may have been spilled, remaining
on the bottom of the machine for any
period of time, which may cause
corrosion.

To fill:

1. To fill with salt, unscrew the cap of the salt

container.

2. Pour 1 litre of water inside the container,
(this is necessary only before filling with
salt for the first time).

3. Then using the funnel provided, pour in the salt

until the container is full.
Do not worry if water over flows from the unit
when filling with salt, this is quite normal.

4. Replace the cap making sure that there is no
trace of salt on the screw thread or on the
gasket.

5. Screw on the cap tightly.

The salt container will require topping up
periodically.

The salt cap has a refill indicator window in the
centre.

A green floater is clearly visible when there is salt
inside the container, and almost disappears when
the salt has finished, reminding you to add salt.

Rinse aid

Rinse aid is automatically added during the last
rinse, ensuring through rinsing, 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 turning the lid (A)

anticlockwise.

2. Add the rinse aid until the container is
completely full. The indicator (B) will be
completely dark.

3. Top up the rinse aid when the indicator (B)
becomes clear.

Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill.

Do not put liquid detergent in the rinse aid
department. Clean up any rinse aid spilt during
filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess
foaming during the next wash.

Adjusting the dose

According to the finish and drying results obtained,
adjust the dose of rinse aid by means of the 6
position selector (C) (position 1 minimum dosage,
position 6 maximum dosage).

Start from position 3.
Gradually 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.

Use of detergent

Only use detergents specifically designed
for use in dishwashers.

If using powder detergents proceed as follows:

1. Open the dispenser lid by pulling the catch (D).

2. Add the detergent according to the

recommendations in the programme chart. As
all detergents are not the same, you should also
consult the instructions on the packet specially
for tablets. To help correctly dose the right
amount of detergent, inside the dispenser there
are two reference marks:

- MIN = 15 g

- MAX = 30 g

3. Always close the dispenser lid.

4. If the programme has a prewash add the

required detergent over the lid of the dispenser.

If using detergent in tablets proceed as follows:

1. For all programmes; add 1 tablet inside the

detergent dispenser.

2. Always close the dispenser lid.

3. For all programmes with prewash; add a portion

of a further tablet on the lid of the detergent
dispenser.

Insufficient quantities of detergent will produce
poor washing results, whereas an excessive
amounts of detergent will not improve washing
results and is also wasteful. Using no more than
the correct amount also contributes to reducing
pollution.

Phosphate free detergents with
enzymes

In these low-alkaline compact powders the
environment unfriendly components have been
replaced by natural enzymes and other more
biodegradable substances.

These new compact powders are generally
phosphate-free.
