Switch on the appliance
- Select the 2nd programme “P2” - consult the table in the Programme Chart.
- Press the START button for at least 5 seconds until the START indicator lamp flashes.
- The water hardness setting is shown on the display (if present) or the START button flashes.
- With each successive touch of the START button the setting increases and when it reaches 7 it returns to 1 again.
- The appliance must be switched off to memorise the new setting.
Even if you use tablets which include salt,
you must still add salt since such detergents
are not effective enough at softening hard
water.
Water hardness level is factory set for
medium hard water (a number “4” is
shown on the display).

The indicator lamp on the control panel lights up when RINSE AID NEEDS
TO BE ADDED.
dark: OK. clear: NEEDS TO BE ADDED
Only use rinse aids recommended for use in domestic dishwashers. Immediately wipe away any rinse aid spilt accidentally. This prevents the formation of excess suds which can cause a fault function of the
appliance.
If there are streaks: reduce the dosage by turning the dial to a lower setting (1-3). If crockery is not perfectly dry: increase the dosage by turning the dial to a higher setting (5-6). Plastic dishes have more difficulty
drying and a higher rinse aid setting will not improve the situation.
Detergents with rinse aid incorporated may be effective only with longer programmes. In the case of shorter programmes, detergent residue may be a problem (if necessary , use powder detergent). Detergents
with rinse aid incorporated tend to form excess suds.
If required, open
the cover
(press lever).
Open the cover A
(press lever).
Only fill the
detergent dispenser
prior to starting a
wash programme.
Use one tablet per one cycle, only placed in
detergent dispenser.
All types of tablets can be used, but for 2 in 1
type adding of salt is mandatory.

similar object, turn the arrow to the desired
setting. After adjusting the rinse aid setting, shut
