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 in equivalent scales, Clarke
degrees, French degrees and PPM (parts per Million).
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 switch and electronically, using the function
push buttons on the control panel.
If your water is level 1 it is already soft and therefore there
is no need to use salt.
a) Setting manually
1. Open the dishwasher door.
2. Remove the lower basket from the dishwasher.
3. Turn the water hardness switch 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 3.
If it’s necessary to set a new level, proceed as follows.
1. Press function push buttons 1 and 2 simultaneously.
2. While keeping the function push buttons 1 and 2 pressed
switch on the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push
button.
The On/Off indicator light comes on.
At the same time, the indicator lights of function push
buttons 1 and 2 start flashing.
3. Press function push button 1, the indicator light of function
push button 2 turns off, while the indicator light of function
push button 1 remains fixed for about 5 seconds, after this it
starts flashing indicating the current level of the water
softener.
The current level is indicated by the number of flashes
made by the indicator light of function push button 1, that
alternates 5 seconds off with a number of flashes, this for
about 60 seconds.
Example:
1 flash = level 1
2 flashes = level 2
3 flashes = level 3
4 flashes = level 4
5 flashes = level 5
4. To change the level, press function push button 1. Each
time the push button is pressed the level changes.
Examples:
if the current level is 3, by pressing function push button 1
once, level 4 is selected.
if the current level is 5, by pressing function push button 1
once, level 1 is selected.
The indicator light of function push button 1 remains off for
about 5 seconds after which it starts flashing indicating the
new level selected.
5. To memorise the new level, switch off the dishwasher by
pressing the On/Off push button.

Filling with 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. Screw on the cap tightly
turning it clockwise until it
stops with a click.
The salt container will require topping up periodically. You are
reminded of this by the salt indicator light on the control panel
which comes on when the salt has finished.
The salt indicator light on the control panel can remain
illuminated for 2-6 hours after the salt has been
replenished, assuming the dishwasher remains switched
on. If you are using salts that take longer to dissolve then
this can take longer. The function of the machine is not
affected.
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
(Rinse aid dispenser type A)
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.
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).
Increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on
the dishes after washing.
The dose is factory set in
position 4.
Reduce it if there are sticky
whitish streaks on the dishes.

Filling with rinse aid
(Rinse aid dispenser type B)
1. Open the container by turning the lid (A) anticlockwise.
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.
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).
Increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on
the dishes after washing.
The dose is factory set in
position 5.
Reduce it if there are sticky
whitish streaks on the
dishes.
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.
Top up the rinse aid when the rinse aid indicator light on the
control panel illuminates.
It is possible to deactivate the rinse aid indicator light (see
following instructions).
To deactivate the rinse aid indicator
light proceed as follows:
(The dishwasher must be switched off)
1. Press function push buttons 1 and 2 simultaneously.
2. While keeping the function push buttons 1 and 2 pressed
switch on the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push
button.
The On/Off indicator light comes on.
At the same time, the indicator lights of function push
buttons 1 and 2 start flashing.
3. Press function push button 2, the corresponding indicator
light keeps flashing while the indicator light of function push
button 1 turns off. At the same time the rinse aid indicator
light starts to flash.
4. Press function push button 2 again, the rinse aid indicator
light turns off, this means that the rinse aid indicator light
has been deactivated.
5. To memorise the operation, switch off the dishwasher by
pressing the On/Off push button.
To reactivate the rinse aid indicator light follow the same
process until the rinse aid indicator light starts to flash.
