Prior to using for the first time

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, German 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 2.

If the current level is not suitable for your area the softener should be adjusted.

			Water hardness
									Setting
	German			French		PPM				Use of
	degrees			degrees		(parts per			level	salt
		(°dH)		(°TH)		million)
0 - 4				0 - 8		0 - 80			-	NO
5		- 11		9 - 20		81 - 200			1	YES
12 - 22				21	- 40	201	- 400		2	YES
23		- 34		41	- 60	401	- 600		3	YES
35		- 45		61	- 80	601	- 800		4	YES
46 - 50				81	- 90	801	- 900		5	YES

If your water is below level 1 it is already soft and therefore there is no need to use salt.

In this case set the water softener at level 1 without using salt.

If the water softener has been adjusted on level 1 without the use of salt, the "salt refill" indicator light on the control panel will always remain illuminated when the machine is switched

on.

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.

Filling with salt

Special salt can be added in one of two ways:

●If you are using dishwasher detergent that already contains salt, the detergent including the salt is placed in the detergent compartment.

-In this case the water softener must be set to 1, to ensure that the special salt is taken from the detergent container only.

●If you are using dishwasher detergent and salt separately, the special salt is to be put into the salt container.

-In this case the water softener must be set between 1 and 5 (depending on the water hardness in your area) to ensure that the special salt is taken from the detergent container only.

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 washing programmes (not the Rinse and Hold programme).

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.

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,	SALET
	pour in the salt until the
	container is full.	SAL
		SALZ
	4. Replace the cap making	SEL
	sure that there is no trace
	of salt on the screw thread
	or on the gasket.
	5. Screw on the cap tightly.
		SR14

The salt container will require topping up periodically.

You are reminded of this by the "salt refill" indicator light on the control panel which will illuminate when the salt has finished.

The "salt refill" 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.

Rinse aid can be added in one of two ways:

●If you are using dishwasher detergent that already contains rinse aid, the detergent including the rinse aid is placed in the detergent compartment.

-In this case the rinse aid compartment must be empty. If in the rinse aid dispenser there is still rinse aid you must wait until it has finished before using detergent that contains rinse aid.

●If you are using dishwasher detergent and rinse aid separately, the rinse aid is to be put into the rinse aid dispenser.

-In this case the rinse aid dosage must be set in position

from 1 to 6 (see "Adjusting the dose") and the rinse aid indicator light activated.

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 with rinse aid when the indicator (B) becomes clear.

BR01

Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill.

BR03

Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next wash.

Use only 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.

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.

Reduce it if there are sticky whitish streaks on the dishes.
