First use 9

Set 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.
Setting manually
The dishwasher is factory set at position 2.
10 Set the water softener

1. Open the dishwasher door.
2. Remove the lower basket from the
dishwasher.
3. Turn the water hardness dial to posi-
tion 1 or 2 (see table).
4. Replace the lower basket.
Setting electronically
The dishwasher is factory set at level 5.
1. The dishwasher must be switched off.
Keep the START/RESET button pressed and turn the programme knob clock-
wise until the programme marker corresponds with the first washing pro-
gramme.
2. Release the START/RESET button , the On/Off and START/RESET indicator
lights start to flash indicating that you have activated the water softener
setting function.
3. At the same time, the end of programme indicator light starts to flash.
The current level is indicated by the number of flashes of end of programme
indicator light and a pause of about 3 seconds.
Examples:
5 flashes, pause, 5 flashes, pause, etc... = level 5
6 flashes, pause, 6 flashes, pause, etc... = level 6
4. To change the level, press the START/RESET button . Each time the button is
pressed the level changes.
Examples:
if the current level is 5, by pressing START/RESET button once, level 6 is
selected.
if the current level is 10, by pressing START/RESET button once, level 1 is
selected.
5. To memorize the operation, switch off the dishwasher by returning the pro-
gramme knob to the Off position.
Set the water softener 11

Use of dishwasher salt
WARNING!
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 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, 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
clockwise 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.
12 Use of dishwasher salt

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 clean-
ing 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).
2. Add the rinse aid in the container. The
maximum level for filling is indicated
by "max".
The dispenser holds about 110 ml of
rinse aid, which is sufficient for be-
tween 16 and 40 dishwashing cycles,
depending upon the dosage setting.
3. Ensure that the lid is closed after every
refill.
Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling
with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess
foaming during the next wash.
Use of rinse aid 13

Adjusting the dosage of rinse aid
According to the finish and drying results obtained, adjust the dose of rinse aid by
means of the 6 position selector (position 1= minimum dosage, position 6= maxi-
mum dosage).
The dose is factory set in position 4.
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 or a bluish film on glassware or
knife blades.
Daily use
• Check if it's necessary to refill with dishwasher salt or rinse aid.
• Load cutlery and dishes into the dishwasher.
• Fill with dishwasher detergent.
• Select a wash programme suitable for the cutlery and dishes.
• Start the wash programme.
Loading cutlery and dishes
Sponges, household cloths and any object that can absorb water may not be washed
in the dishwasher.
• Before loading the dishes, you should:
– Remove all left over food and debris.
– Soften remnants of burnt food in pans
14 Daily use

• When loading the dishes and cutlery, please note:
– Dishes and cutlery must not impede the rotation of the spray arms.
– Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans, etc. with the opening down-
wards so that water cannot collect in the container or a deep base.
– Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another, or cover each
other.
– To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch.
– Lay small objects in the cutlery basket.
• Plastic items and pans with non stick coatings have a tendency to retain water
drops; these items will not dry as well as porcelain and steel items.
• Light items (plastic bowls etc.) must be loaded in the upper basket and arranged
so they do not move.
For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery and dishes
are not suitable: are of limited suitability:
• Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or mother-
of-pearls handles.
• Plastic items that are not heat resistant.
• Older cutlery with glued parts that are not
temperature resistant.
• Bonded cutlery items or dishes.
• Pewter or copper items.
• Lead crystal glass.
• Steel items prone to rusting.
• Wooden platters.
• Items made from synthetics fibres.
• Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it
is specially marked as being dishwasher-safe
by the manufacturer.
• Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed
frequently.
• Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency
to discolour during washing: Residues, e.g.
egg white, egg yolk and mustard often cause
discolouring and staining on silver. Therefore
always clean left-overs from silver
immediately, if it is not to be washed straight
after use.
Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes.
Loading cutlery and dishes 15

The lower basket
Load larger and heavily soiled dishes and pans
in the lower basket.
To make it easier to load larger dishes, the 2
plate racks on the right in the lower basket
can be folded down.
The cutlery basket
WARNING!
Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard. Long and/
or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned horizontally in
the upper basket. Take care when loading or unloading sharp items such as knives.
To ensure that all items of cutlery in the cutlery basket can be reached by the water,
you should:
16 Loading cutlery and dishes

1. Place the grid insert on the cutlery
basket.
2. Place forks and spoon in the cutlery
basket with their handles pointing
downwards.
For larger utensils, such as whisks,
leave off one half of the cutlery grid.
The upper basket
Load smaller, fragile crockery and long, sharp
cutlery in the upper basket.
• Arrange items of crockery on and under the
folding cup racks so that they are offset
from each other and water can reach all
items.
Loading cutlery and dishes 17

• The cup racks can be folded up out of the
way for tall crockery items.
• Lay or hang wine and brandy glasses in
the slots in the cup racks.
Use of detergent
Only use detergents specifically designed for use in dishwashers.
Please observe the manufacturer's dosing and storage recommendations as stated
on the detergent packaging.
Using no more than the correct amount of detergent contributes to reducing pol-
lution.
Fill with detergent
1. Open the lid.
18 Use of detergent

2. Fill the detergent dispenser (1) with
detergent. The marking indicates the
dosing levels:
20 = approximately 20 g of detergent
30 = approximately 30 g of detergent.
3. All programmes with prewash need
an additional detergent dose (5/10 g)
that must be placed in the prewash
detergent chamber (2).
This detergent will take effect during
the prewash phase.
4. When using detergent tablets, place
the tablet in compartment (1)
5. Close the lid and press until it locks in
place.
Detergent tablets
Detergent tablets from different manu-
factures dissolve at different rates. For this
reason, some detergent tablets do not at-
tain their full cleaning power during short
washing programmes. Therefore, please
use long washing programmes when us-
ing detergent tablets, to ensure the complete removal of detergent residuals.
Use of combi detergent tablets
These products are detergents with a combined cleaning, rinsing and salt functions.
They can also contain other different agents depending on which kind of tablets
you choose («3 in 1», «4 in 1», «5 in 1» etc...).
1. Check whether these detergents are suitable for your water hardness. See the
manufacturers instructions.
2. Select the lowest setting for water hardness and rinse aid dosage.
3. Before the start of the washing programme put the combi detergent tablet in
the detergent dispenser.
Use of detergent 19

The refilling of the salt container and the rinse aid dispenser are no longer necessary.
In this case the rinse aid indicator light will always remain illuminated when the
machine is switched on (not all dishwasher models are foreseen with rinse aid
indicator light).
If the drying results are not satisfactory we recommend that you:
1. Fill up the rinse aid dispenser with rinse aid.
2. Set the rinse aid dosage to position 2.
If you decide to turn back to the use of the standard detergent system we
advise that you:
1. Fill up the dispensers for salt and rinse aid again.
2. Adjust the water hardness setting to the highest setting and perform washing
programme without loading any dishes.
3. Adjust the water hardness setting according to the hardness of the water in
your area.
4. Adjust the rinse aid dosage.
