heat. Moreover, the dishes dry better when allowed to stand for a few
minutes.
Flood protection switch
Your dishwasher is fitted with a safety switch that prevents too much
water from running into the appliance. The safety switch closes the
inlet valve and instructs the dishwasher to pump out the surplus
water. If there is water in machine (due to too much water being fed in
previously, or as a result of a leak), this must first be removed before the
appliance is switched on again.

Regeneration salt (water softener)
This machine is equipped with a water softener. To use the water softener,
fill the dishwasher with salt.
• After first having removed the bottom basket, loosen the cap
of the reservoir (1 and 2).
• Prior to filling the reservoir for the first time, pour one litre of water
in it (3).
• Place the funnel in the reservoir opening. Pour about 2 kg of salt in
it (4). It is normal for a little water to flow out of the opening when
doing this. Note! Clear up any spilled salt and always run a full
cycle immediately afterwards to prevent damage to the bottom.
• Carefully tighten the cap of the reservoir.
Note! Always fill the salt reservoir and adjust the water hardness
setting before using the dishwasher. Refill the salt reservoir when the
water softener indicator (2) lights up. It is possible that the light will
remain lit for a short while after the salt reservoir is filled. It will go out
automatically when enough salt has been dissolved in the water.

Dishwasher detergents
The chemicals in the dishwasher detergents remove the dirt, break it
down and make sure that the dirt is drained from the dishwasher. Most
dishwasher detergents available in stores are suitable for this purpose.
Warning!
Dishwasher detergent is a corrosive product. It should therefore be kept
out of the reach of children. If swallowed, consult a doctor immediately
and take the packaging with you.
Concentrated detergent
Based on their chemical composition, 2 different types of concentrated
detergent can be distinguished:
• Conventional alkaline detergents with corrosive ingredients.
• Low-alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes.
The use of concentrated dishwasher detergent in combination with
“normal” wash programs produces less contamination and is good for
your dishes: these wash programs are specifically geared to the dirt-
dissolving characteristics of the enzymes in the concentrated dishwasher
agent. This means that “normal” wash cycles with concentrated
detergent achieve the same results as an intensive wash cycle.
Dishwasher tablets
Dishwasher tablets from different manufacturers dissolve at different
rates. This means that, during short wash cycles, certain types of
dishwasher tablet do not fully dissolve, as a result of which their
cleaning action is reduced. Dishwasher tablets should therefore chiefly
be used in combination with long wash cycles, so that the dish washer
tablet has time to fully dissolve.
When you switch from dishwashing tablets to a traditional dishwashing
agent, you have to make sure that the salt reservoir and the rinse agent
reservoir are completely filled.
OPERATION

EN 14
OPERATION
Detergent compartment
Your dishwasher uses less detergent and rinse agent than conventional
dishwashers. Generally speaking, just one measuring spoon of detergent
powder is needed for a normal wash cycle. Use more detergent if your
dishes are more heavily soiled. Fill the soap compartment immediately
prior to starting the cycle. Filling it prior to this may result in the detergent
becoming damp and therefore not fully dissolving.
Note! The table on page 9 shows the amount of detergent required for
the different cycles. These are averages. A different dosage may be
necessary, depending on the hardness of the water and how soiled the
dishes are.
Filling
1. Press the release catch if the lid is closed.
The lid will slide open.
2. Fill the detergent compartment immediately prior to starting a wash cycle.
The markings in the detergent compartment indicate the dosage.
• The container has a capacity of maximum 45 gr.
Fill up the container with 25 gr. of the detergent for very dirty dishes
and 15 gr. for normal dishes.
Use only detergents that are specifically designed for dishwashers. Store
the detergent in a cool and dry place. Only fill the detergent compartment
with detergent when you are running a wash cycle immediately afterwards.

LOADING
Loading the baskets
Using the upper basket
The upper basket is designed for fragile, light dishes, such as glasses,
cups and saucers, plates, small bowls and shallow (not particularly
dirty) pans.
Place the dishes in the basket in such a way as to ensure they cannot
move when sprayed. The height of the top basket can be adjusted.
Height Adjustable Rack
The height adjustable racks enable glasses and cups to be placed on
or under the racks. The racks can be adjusted to 2 different heights.
Cutlery and utensils can also be placed on the racks horizontally.
Using the lower basket
We advise you to place large objects that are hardest to clean in the
bottom basket: pots, pans, pan lids, oven dishes and bowls. Casserole
dishes and pan lids should preferably be placed at the side of the
basket. This will ensure that they do not obstruct the spray arm when it
is turning.
• Saucepans, serving dishes etc. must always be placed upside
down in the basket.
• Deep bowls should be tilted, with the opening facing downwards to
allow water to escape.
• The lower basket can be adjusted to allow for larger, or more, pots
and pans.

LOADING
Cutlery basket
The cutlery basket is used in the bottom basket. Cutlery should be
placed in the cutlery basket with the handles pointing down. Long
kitchen utensils such as wooden spoons have to be in a position lying
down (horizontal) on the middle rack in the top basket.
Warning!
Take care to ensure that no objects are sticking through the bottom
of the cutlery basket, as this will obstruct the spray arm.
Cutlery/crockery unsuitable for the dishwasher
• Cutlery with a wooden, porcelain or mother of pearl handle
• Plastic objects that are not heat-resistant
• Cutlery with glued elements that are not heat-resistant
• Glued cutlery or crockery
• Pewter or copper objects
• Lead crystal glassware
• Steel objects that are prone to rust
• Wooden dishes
• Objects manufactured from synthetic fibres
Cutlery/crockery with limited suitability for use in the dishwasher
• Certain types of glass can become dull after undergoing a large
number of wash cycles
• Silver and aluminium may tarnish after use in the dishwasher
• Glazed patters may fade as a result of regular washing
Note! Do not place any objects soiled with cigarette ash, candle wax,
varnish or paint in the dishwasher. When buying new kitchen utensils,
ensure that they are suitable for the dishwasher.
Do not overload the dishwasher. There is only room for 12 standard
settings. Do not place cooking utensils that are unsuitable for
dishwashers inside. This is essential to ensure good washing results
and a low energy consumption.
