10 First use

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.

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. 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.
Do not worry if water overflows from the
unit when filling with salt, this is quite
normal.
12 Use of dishwasher salt

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 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).
Use of rinse aid 13

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.
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.
14 Daily use

• 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
• 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.
Loading cutlery and dishes 15

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.
The lower basket
The lower basket is designed to take sauce-
pans, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery etc.
A serving plate can be placed in front of the
cutlery basket.
16 Loading cutlery and dishes

The rear plate rack can be easily folded down
to allow you to load pots, pans and bowls.
Folding down the right plate rack will create
another plate rack that allows you to load
deep plates and bowls.
1. Lift the two plate racks slightly at the back
and fold them inward making them cross
over one another.
The left plate rack can be folded down and the
width can be adjusted.
• To fold them down, lift the two plate racks
slightly at the back and fold them onwards
making them cross over one another.
• To set the width: pull the right-hand plate
rack upwards at the back until it
disengages, then pull it towards the back
out of the front guide.
Insert the plate rack in the other guide and press it down at the back until it
snaps in.
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.
Loading cutlery and dishes 17

Forks and spoons should be placed in the
removable cutlery basket with the handles
facing downwards and the knives with their
handles facing upwards.
If the handles protrude from the bottom of the
basket, obstructing the lower spray arm, load
the cutlery with the handles facing upwards.
Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent them
from sticking together.
To make loading of the cutlery basket easier,
lower the cutlery basket handle.
For best results we recommend that you use
the cutlery grids.
If the size and dimensions of the cutlery do
not allow the use of the grids, they can be
easily hidden.
18 Loading cutlery and dishes

The cutlery basket is in two parts which can be
separated to give greater loading flexibility. To
separate the two parts, slide them horizontally
in opposite directions and pull them apart.
To reassemble, reverse the procedure.
The upper basket
The upper basket is designed for saucers, salad
bowls, cups, glasses, pots and lids.
Loading cutlery and dishes 19

Adjustable cup racks
• Arrange items on and underneath the cup
racks so that water can reach all surfaces.
• The cup racks can be folded up out of the
way for tall crockery items.
• The cup racks can also be fixed in an inter-
mediate position. Lay or hang glasses with
the stems in the slots in the cup racks.
Glass holders
For glasses with long stems and tall cylindrical
glasses, fold up the glass holder. (Top picture)
To unload or when not needed, fold the glass
holder back to the right. (Middle picture)
Glasses can also be placed over the bars point-
ing up. (Bottom picture)
Adjusting the height of the upper basket
If washing very large plates you can load them in the lower basket after moving
the upper basket to the higher position.
The adjustment of the height of the upper basket is possible also when the basket
has been loaded.
