How to load your dishes
Before washing, a few small steps can help you get a better wash and keep your dishwasher for longer.
Remove the largest scraps of food left over on your plates, soak saucepans and frying pans with tough
incrustations. After loading your dishes, make sure the blades on the sprayer arm turn well
There are two handles on the sides
of the upper rack: use these to
adjust its height (see fig. C)
Fig.C
upper rack
lower rack
First of all.
Before placing the dishes in the
racks, remove the largest scraps
of food left over on your plates,
you will thus avoid blocking the
filter, which would reduce the
efficacy of the wash.
If the saucepans and frying pans
are very dirty, allow them to soak
before being washed. To make it
easier to load your dishes, pull the
racks out.
Multisystem racks
This dishwasher model is fitted with
newer and more modern upper and
lower racks and a cutlery basket.
They are made to provide greater
flexibility in loading dishes, making
them more suitable to meet your
specific needs.
The rack handles can be cleaned
regularly: pull out the two fastening
plugs, remove the handles and rinse
them under running water. Put the
handles back in place and fasten
them using the plugs you removed
previously.
What goes into the
lower rack?
We recommend you place the most
difficult dishes to wash into the
lower rack: saucepans, lids, soup
dishes and plates, but also: mugs,
cups and glasses (see photos for
load examples).
 Serving dishes and large
lids: place them on the sides
of the rack.
 Saucepans, salad bowls:
must always be placed upside
down
 Very deep dishes: place
them obliquely, thus allowing
water to run down them and
cleaning them better
Glasses and cups: position
them as indicated in the figure.
The cutlery basket can be split up
by pulling out the handle.
When you only have little cutlery
to wash, you can use just half the
basket; save space for other
crockery or place the other half of
the basket in the upper rack instead
(see figures A and B).
This basket is equipped with two
removable grids: insert the cutlery
one by one into the slots; knives
and utensils with sharp blades or
Load examples
tips should be positioned with the
sharp parts at the bottom.
It is best if you place longer
utensils horizontally at the front
ofthe upper rack.
What goes into the
upper rack?
Place delicate and lightweight
dishes in the upper rack: glasses,
tea cups and coffee cups, saucers
- but plates too - shallow salad
bowls, slightly dirty frying pans and
shallow pans.
Position light weight dishes in such
a way as to avoid their being moved
by the spray of water.
The appliance can also be equipped
with one or two tip-up
compartments onto which you can
place mugs and cups, as well as
long sharp knives and serving
cutlery.
After loading the dishes, remember
to check that the blades on the
sprayer arms can turn freely
without hitting against any dishes.
How to adjust the top
rack.
The upper rack can be set in high
or low position to enable you to

Detergent and rinse aid
The rinse aid.
This product makes dishes sparkle
more as it improves their drying.
The rinse aid container is situated
onthe inside of the door: It should
befilled up when the low rinse aid
indicator light "U" flashes on
display.
Loading the rinse aid.
To open the dispenser, turn cap C
anticlockwise.Take carewhen you
pour in the rinse aid to avoid it
overflowing. You can adapt the
amount of rinse aid used by the
dishwasher: regulate the adjuster
F which you will find under lid C.
You can choose from six different
positions.
The detergent
Loading the detergent
To open lid A, press button B. The
detergentshouldbepouredintothe
two containers C and D up to the
rim.
Now you can close the lid: press it
down until you hear it click.
If you prefer to use the detergent
intabletform, thenplace oneinside
thecontainer D and close the lid.
It won't close!
Check whether there is any
detergent residue on the edges of
the dispenser. It is due to this resi-
duethat the lid won't close. Get rid
of it and you'll see that it closes.
Only use specific dishwasher detergents. Pour the detergent into the
dispenser on the inside of the door. Before the wash cycle starts!
 Use the right
amount of
detergent: if you
use too much,
you will not get
cleaner dishes,
but just more
environmental
pollution.
 Keep your
dishwasher
detergent and
rinse aid in a
cool, dry place
and away from
children.
Useful tips
Proper dosage of
the rinse aid
improves drying.
If drops of water
remain on the
dishes or spotting
occurs, turn the
dosage adjuster to
a higher setting.
If, on the other
hand, the dishes
have white
streaks, then turn
the dosage
adjuster down to
a lower setting.
You can choose from six different
positions. It is normally set to 4.
Warning
Three-in-one dishwasher tablets are now available on the market, and combine detergent, salt and rinse aid all in one.
If the water in your area is hard or very hard, we still recommend you pour extra salt into the relevant dispenser to prevent the
formation of white streaks on your dishes or on the interior of the appliance.
Using a three-in-one product means it is no longer necessary to put rinse aid into the relevant container.
If you want to achieve perfectly dry dishes, you may add rinse aid as long as the dosage adjuster is set to no.2.
In any case, please read the manufacturer's instructions on the packet.
If you use only these products, it is normal for the salt and rinse aid indicator lights to flash permanently after a certain number of
cycles.

ARISTON DISHWASHER - Instructions for installation and use 7
DISHWASHER
Never without salt
Loading the salt.
Always use salt which is intended
for dishwasher use.
The salt container is situated
underneath the lower rack, fill it
up as follows:
1.Pull out the lower rack
completely, unscrew and
remove the container cap
2. Is it the first time you load the
salt? First fill the container up
with water (you won't have to
do this again next time)
3. Put the dishwasher funnel on the
hole and pour in approximately
two kilos of salt. It is normal
that some water comes out of
the container.
4. Screw the cap back in place
carefully.
Water in your home
When should I load the salt?
The salt container should be filled
upwhen thelow salt indicatorlight
"T" flashes.Once you have loaded
the salt for the first time, it is
normal that the low salt indicator
lightstays on or flashesforabout 5
consecutivecycles.
Salt adjustment
Your dishwasher can adjust its salt
consumption according to the hard-
ness of the water in your home.
This way, you can optimise and
customise your dishwasher's salt
consumption (not too much, nor too
little).
To adjust salt consumption, do as
follows:
1. Unscrew the salt container cap
2. There is an arrow on the neck of
the container (see figure): if
necessary, turn the arrow anti-
clockwise from the "-" setting
to the "+" setting.
Select the arrow position
depending on the water hardness,
referring to the table provided.
You don't know
how hard the
water in your
home is? Ask the
company that
supplies water in
your area.
Water hardness varies according to where you live. If the water in your home is
hard, without water softening, incrustations would form on your dishes. Your
dishwasher is fitted with a water softener which uses special salt to get rid of
limescale in the water.
Using your electric household appliances
wisely helps you make savings and is
good for the environment.
Savings are easy
Maximum load.
To optimise consumption levels, try to use the
dishwasher with a full load only. If it takes
quite some time to fill up your dishwasher,
use the soak cycle to avoid the formation of
bad odours and caked-on food.
The right wash cycle.
Select the most suitable wash cycle for the
type of load you have placed in the dishwasher.
The choice of wash cycle depends on the type
of dishes to wash and on how dirty they are.
To select the right wash cycle, please consult
the wash cycle table on page 6.
How to look after and protect
the dishes you hold dear
■Forparticularly delicate dishes,
we recommend you use the
specific wash cycle offered by
yourdishwasher.
Suggestions and advice for you.
Apart from
making you save
time and energy,
your dishwasher
disinfects your
dishes, washing
them at a high
temperature.
■Silverplates and serving dishes
shouldbe washedimmediately
afteruse, especiallyifthey have
contained salt, eggs, olives,
mustard, vinegar, fruit juices
andcookedvegetables.
■Almost all silverware can be
cleanedinadishwasher.
Thereare two exceptions: old
silverwareand silverware
decoratedwith an oxidising
agent. Hot water can loosen
thehandleson old silverware
adwearoff the decorations on
theother.
Neverlet silverware come into
contactwith other metals: you
willthusavoid stains and
blackening
To prevent rust
from forming, load
the salt just before
beginning a wash
cycle.
