NIGHT CYCLE button
Night Cycle is a silent washing programme that will not disturb you, even when you sleep.
It can be set at night or in times with a more economical power rate.
During the Night Cycle the pump runs at a very low speed to reach a noise level reduction
of 25% compared to the declaration programme. As a consequence, it has a very long
running time.

The following functions can be set with the help of these buttons:
• setting of the water softener,
• activation/deactivation of the rinse aid dispenser when Multitab function is active.
Setting mode
The appliance is in setting mode when ALL programme lights are illuminated.
Always remember that when performing the following operations:
– selecting a washing programme,
– setting the water softener,
– activating/deactivating the rinse aid,
the appliance MUST be in setting mode.
If a programme light is illuminated, the last performed or selected programme is still set.
In this case, to return to setting mode, the programme has to be cancelled.
To cancel a set programme or a programme in progress
Press and hold the RESET button until all the programme lights illuminate. The programme
has been cancelled and the machine is now in setting mode.
Control panel 7

First use
Before using your dishwasher for the first time:
• Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply with the installation instruc-
tions
• Remove all packaging from inside the appliance
• Set the water softener
• Pour 1 litre of water inside the salt container and then fill with dishwasher salt
• Fill the rinse aid dispenser
If you want to use combi detergent tablets such as: "3 in 1", "4 in 1", "5 in 1" etc... set the
Multitab function (see "Multitab function").
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 minerals and salts, the harder your water is. Water hardness
is measured in equivalent scales, German degrees (°dH), French degrees (°TH) and mmol/l
(millimol per litre - international unit for the hardness of water).
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 dial and
electronically.

Use of dishwasher salt
WARNING!
Only use salt specifically designed for use in dishwashers. All other types of salt not spe-
cifically designed for use in a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water soft-
ener. 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) .
Use of dishwasher salt 9

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. Replace the cap tightly turning it clock-
wise until it stops with a click.
Do not worry if water overflows 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.
Use of rinse aid
WARNING!
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.
Rinse aid ensures thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying.
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse.
1. Open the container by pressing the release
button (A).
