3. HOW TO USE THE APPLIANCE

PROGRAMME SELECTION

Press the button

or to bring up the desired programme on the display. The appliance must be switched

on. If required, select options (if supplied). The corresponding indicator lamp switches on. Appropriate programmes and relative available options are detailed in table 1.1 on page 1.

Programme times stated in the table were obtained under normal conditions and may vary depending on conditions. Differences of up to 20 minutes are possible with sensor programmes as a result of the appliance's automatic calibration system.

HOW TO FILL THE DETERGENT DISPENSER

Only fill the detergent dispenser prior to starting a wash programme. Only use detergents specially recommended for dishwashers, observing the manufacturer's recommended dosage. Observe the manufacturer's safety warnings!

Open the detergent dispenser compartments by pushing the left button (button 1) of the dispenser.

a. Powder/gel/tabs

Fill the detergent dispenser compartments in accordance with the wash programme selected (table 1.1).

Programmes without pre-wash:

pour the entire recommended dosage into compartment A. Programmes with pre-wash:

pour 2/3 of the recommended dosage into the large compartment A and 1/3 into the small compartment B.

Dishwasher tabs should be placed, according to the manufacturer's recommendations, in compartment A.

If the “Half load” option is selected, detergent dosage should be reduced by approximately 1/3.

b. Combined action detergents (2 in 1/3 in 1/... etc.)

Combined action detergents should be placed, according to the manufacturer's recommendations, in compartment A.

	Large				Small
		button 1
	compartment A				compartment B

Firmly close and press the detergent compartment lid shut after filling.

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.

The guarantee is not applicable if faults are caused by the use of these products.

HOW TO CHECK/FILL/ADJUST RINSE AID

Not necessary when using a combined action detergent.

a. How to check the rinse aid level

Check the visual indicator C on the rinse aid dispenser: dark = sufficient rinse aid, clear = add rinse aid.

In the case of appliances with an electric indicator on the control panel, the rinse aid indicator lamp lights up red when rinse aid needs to be added.

b. How to fill the rinse aid dispenser

Open the rinse aid dispenser by pressing the right button (button 2) of the dispenser.

Fill the dispenser with rinse aid up to the “max” line (approx. 150 ml).

Shut the lid again.

Indicator C

button 2

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.
