5. Half load push button

By pressing this push button, washing can be confined to a single basket.

The indicator light corresponding to the selected basket comes on and for some programmes the prewash phase will be automatically excluded.

This option is useful and economical when only a few dishes need washing.

Remember to load all the dishes into the selected basket.

If both indicator lights are off, washing will be carried out in both baskets.

This option is not available with programmes 1 (Rinse and Hold) and 10 (Plate warmer).

6. Eco drying push button

By pressing this push button you can opt to shorten (ECO) or completely eliminate (NO) the drying cycle, so making a considerable energy saving.

The indicator light corresponding to the selection will come on.

This option is not available with programmes 1 (Rinse and Hold) and 10 (Plate warmer).

If NO drying is selected the supply of rinse aid is automatically excluded.

If both indicator lights are off, the full drying cycle will be carried out.

7. Delay start push button

Allows the start of the programme to be delayed by a minimum of 1 hour, up to 12 hours.

8. Digital display

9. Programme start push button

This is the last push button to press after having set the programme and closed the door. It starts the programme.

10. Programme phase indicator lights

Each phase is indicated with a symbol:

Prewash/Rinse and Hold Wash

Rinse Drying

As soon as you select a washing programme, this illuminates all the phases the programme consists of.

As the programme progresses, the phase under way will illuminate.

At the end of the programme the phase indicator lights turn off.

Audible signals

Audible signals have been introduced to help indicate which operations the dishwasher is performing.

Short "instruction accepted" signal

When any of the push buttons are pressed, a short audible signal informs you that the machine has accepted the instruction given.

Long "programme run" signal

A continuous audible signal informs you that the washing programme is starting.

Intermittent "end of programme" signal

An intermittent audible signal informs you that the wash programme has ended.

"Alarm" intermittent signal

The machine is fitted with a number of alarm systems to help you determine the cause of any problems (see "Something not working"). An intermittent audible signal informs you that an alarm is activated.

To deactivate these audible signals, press simultaneously and keep pressed both HALF LOAD and DELAY push buttons. After about 3 seconds 3 short intermittent audible signals inform you that the audible signals have been deactivated.

To reactivate these audible signals, press simultaneously and keep pressed both HALF LOAD and DELAY push buttons. After about 3 seconds 3 short intermittent audible signals inform you that the audible signals have been reactivated.

Both operations (to deactivate or reactivate the audible signals) must be carried out before starting a washing programme; the setting will remain memorised after switching off the dishwasher.

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.

6. Run a "Rinse and Hold" programme.

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 dishwasher is factory set at level 4. If this level is not suitable for your area the softener

should be adjusted.

The adjustment of the water softener is possible only with the machine in setting mode.

To select a different level proceed as follows:

1. Press SELECTION and DELAY push buttons

simultaneously for about 5 seconds. In the display appears a "L" followed by a number which corresponds to the current level.

2. Press within 5 seconds the DELAY push button as many times as necessary until the required level appears in the display. The level increases by 1 each time the button is pressed.

3. 5 seconds after this button has last been pressed, the dishwasher memorises the level selected and returns to the programme setting mode.

Water hardness

If your water is level 0 it is already soft and therefore there is no need to use salt. With the setting of the water softener at level 0 the salt indicator light on the control panel will always remain off. Use salt from level 1 upwards.

SO264

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 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. 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.

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

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 rinse aid indicator light on the control panel illuminates.

Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill.

Do not put liquid detergent in the rinse aid compartment. 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.

Large dishes and 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.
