"End of programme"

"Set of the water softener"

"Something not working with the machine"

To deactivate the audible signals

1.With the dishwasher switched off, press the On/Off push button, all indicator lights of the programme push buttons will illuminate (setting mode).

2.Press simultaneously function push buttons 2 and 3, the indicator lights of the function push buttons 1, 2 and 3 start flashing.

3.Press the function push button 3, the indicator lights of function push buttons 1 and 2 turn off while the indicator light of the push button 3 goes on flashing, at the same time the "end of programme" indicator light illuminates indicating that the audible signals are active.

4.To deactivate the audible signals, press again the function push button 3, the "end of programme" indicator light turns off, indicating that the audible signals have been deactivated.

5.To memorise the operation, switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push button or wait about 60 seconds after which the dishwasher will automatically return to setting mode.

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 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.

Setting manually

The dishwasher is factory set at position 2.

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.

Setting electronically

The dishwasher is factory set at level 5. If it’s necessary to set a new level, proceed as follows.

1.With the dishwasher switched off, press the On/Off push button, all indicator lights of the programme push buttons will illuminate (setting mode).

2.Press simultaneously function push buttons 2 and 3, the indicator lights of the function push buttons 1, 2 and 3 start flashing.

3.Press the function push button 1, the indicator lights of function push buttons 2 and 3 turn off while the indicator light of the push button 1 goes on flashing, at the same time the "end of programme" indicator light illuminates, along with a sequence of audible signals.

The current level is indicated by the number of flashes and audible signals.

Example: 5 flashes + 5 audible signals = level 5

4.To change the level, press push button 1. Each time the push button is pressed the level changes.

Examples:

if the current level is 5, by pressing push button 1 once, level 6 is selected.

if the current level is 10, by pressing push button 1 once, level 1 is selected.

5.To memorise the operation, switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push button or wait about 60 seconds after which the dishwasher will automatically return to setting mode.

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 manually be set to 1 and electronically 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 manually be set to 1 or 2 and electronically between 1 and 10 (depending on the water hardness in your area) to ensure that the special salt is taken from the salt 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 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,	SALE
	pour in the salt until the
		ZOUT
	container is full.

		SAL
4.	Replace the cap making	SALZ
		SEL
	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.	SR14

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.

Do not worry if water over flows from the unit when filling with salt, this is quite normal.

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.
