Programme selection mode and user mode
When the appliance is in programme selection mode it
is possible to set a programme and to enter the user
mode.
Settings available in the user mode:
• The level of water softener according to the water
hardness.
• Activation or deactivation of the acoustic signal for
the end of a programme.
• Activation or deactivation of the rinse aid empty
notification.
• The level of rinse aid according to the required
dosage.
• Activation or deactivation of AirDry.
As the appliance stores the saved settings, there is
no need to configure it before every cycle.
How to set the programme selection mode
The appliance is in programme selection mode when

The water softener
The water softener removes minerals from the water
supply, which would have a detrimental effect on the
washing results and on the appliance.
The higher the content of these minerals, the harder
your water is. Water hardness is measured in equivalent
scales.
The water 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. It is important to set the right level of the
water softener to assure good washing results.

Before first use
1. Make sure that the current level of the water
softener agrees with the hardness of the water
supply. If not, adjust the level of the water
softener.
2. Fill the salt container.
3. Fill the rinse aid dispenser.
4. Open the water tap.
5. Start a programme to remove any processing
residuals that can still be inside the appliance. Do
not use detergent and do not load the baskets.
After starting a programme, it may take up to 5 minutes
for the appliance to recharge the resin in the water
softener. It seems that the appliance is not working. The
washing phase starts only after this procedure is
completed. The procedure is repeated periodically.
The salt container
Caution! Use rough salt designed for
dishwashers only. Fine salt increases the
risk of corrosion.
The salt is used to recharge the resin in the water
softener and to assure good washing results in daily
use.

Hints and tips
General
The following hints will ensure optimal cleaning and
drying results in daily use and also help to protect the
environment.
• Remove larger residues of food from the dishes into
the waste bin.
• Do not pre-rinse dishes by hand. When needed, use
the prewash programme (if available) or select a
programme with a prewash phase.
• Always use the whole space of the baskets.
• When loading the appliance, make sure that the
dishes can be completely reached and washed by
the water released from the spray arm nozzles.
Make sure that items do not touch or cover each
other.
• You can use dishwasher detergent, rinse aid and
salt separately or you can use the multi-tablets (e.g.
''3in1'', ''4in1'', ''All in 1''). Follow the instructions
written on the packaging.
• Select the programme according to the type of load
and degree of soil. With the ECO programme you
have the most efficient use of water and energy
consumption for crockery and cutlery with normal
soil.
Using salt, rinse aid and detergent
• Only use salt, rinse aid and detergent for
dishwasher. Other products can cause damage to
the appliance.
• In areas with hard and very hard water we
recommend to use plain dishwasher detergent
(powder, gel, tablets containing no additional
agents), rinse aid and salt separately for optimal
cleaning and drying results.
• At least once a month run the appliance with the use
of appliance cleaner which is particularly suitable for
this purpose.
• Detergent tablets do not fully dissolve with short
programmes. To prevent detergent residues on the
tableware, we recommend that you use the tablets
with long programmes.
• Do not use more than the correct quantity of
detergent. Refer to the instructions on the detergent
packaging.
What to do if you want to stop using multi-tablets
Before you start to use separately detergent, salt and
rinse aid do the following procedure.
1. Set the highest level of the water softener.
2. Make sure that the salt and rinse aid containers are
full.
3. Start the shortest programme with a rinsing phase.
Do not add detergent and do not load the baskets.
4. When the programme is completed, adjust the
water softener according to the water hardness in
your area.
5. Adjust the released quantity of rinse aid.
6. Activate the rinse aid empty notification.
Loading the baskets
• Only use the appliance to wash items that are
dishwasher-safe.
• Do not put in the appliance items made of wood,
horn, aluminium, pewter and copper.
• Do not put in the appliance items that can absorb
water (sponges, household cloths).
• Remove larger residues of food from the dishes into
the waste bin.
• Make soft the remaining burned food on the items.
• Put hollow items (cups, glasses and pans) with the
opening down.
• Make sure that glasses do not touch other glasses.
• Put cutlery and small items in the cutlery basket.
• Put light items in the upper basket. Make sure that
the items do not move.
• Make sure that the spray arms can move freely
before you start a programme.
Before starting a programme
Make sure that:
• The filters are clean and correctly installed.
• The cap of the salt container is tight.
• The spray arms are not clogged.
• There is dishwasher salt and rinse aid (unless you
use multi- tablets).
• The position of the items in the baskets is correct.
• The programme is applicable for the type of load
and for the degree of soil.
• The correct quantity of detergent is used.
Unloading the baskets
1. Let the tableware cool down before you remove it
from the appliance. Hot items can be easily
damaged.
2. First remove items from the lower basket, then from
the upper basket.
At the end of the program water can still
remain on the sides and on the door of
the appliance.
