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, 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 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.

Water hardness

If your water is level 0 it is already soft and therefore there is no need to use salt. In this case adjust 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, especially 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. 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 float 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 thorough 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) because 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.

Loading your appliance

Before placing dishes in the machine, remove any scraps of food, to avoid clogging the filters and consequently reducing the performance.

Do not load very small items which can fall through the baskets.

Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes.

The lower basket

The lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery etc.

Serving dishes and large lids should be arranged around the edge of the basket, ensuring that the upper spray arm can turn freely.

The two rear rows of prongs on the lower basket can be easily lowered to allow you to load pots, pans and bowls.

To lower the prongs:

- Slightly pull them upward and let them drop down (see picture).

- To bring them back to the standing position, just pull them up again.

The cutlery basket

Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard. These items should only be placed in the removable knife basket. Take care when loading or unloading sharp items such as knives.

Cutlery should be placed in the removable cutlery basket with the handles facing downwards.If the handles protrude from the bottom of the basket, obstructing the lower spray arm, load the cutlery with the handles facing upwards.

Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent them from sticking together.

Removable knife basket

Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be placed horizontally in the removable knife basket, which is positioned at the rear of the upper basket.

The cutlery basket is in two parts which can be separated to give greater loading flexibility. To separate the two parts, slide them horizontally in opposite directions and pull them apart.To reassemble, reverse the procedure.
