Selecting the ‘3-in-1’ cycle
The dishwasher features a 3-in-1 cycle. If you select this cycle
(button 5), the dishwasher does not need to be filled with salt and rinse
agent, but rather you use so-called 3-in-1 dishwasher tablets in their
place.
Pre-rinse
The pre-rinse program allows you to improve the cleaning result for
extra dirty dishes. You can set this program both independently from
and in combination with another program.
Indicators
• Water softener.
The indicator shows that you have to fill the salt container with
regeneration salt.

detergent).
OPERATION

EN 9
Warning!
Opening the door fully during the wash cycle is dangerous. You may be
splashed with hot water from the machine.
Following the end of the wash cycle
After the washing program has finished, the ‘End program’ indicator
flashes and an alarm signal sounds 5 times. Open the door of the
dishwasher. Switch off the device with the on/off button. Wait a few
minutes before unloading the dishwasher. The dishes and cutlery will still
be very hot immediately following the end of the cycle. There is a chance
that dishes may break as a result of the 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 lower basket, loosen the cap of the
reservoir (1 and 2).
• Prior to filling up the reservoir for the first time, pour one litre of
water in it.
• Place the funnel in the reservoir opening. Pour about 2 kg of salt
in it. 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 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.

After selecting the desired setting, press the on/off button.
The set value is stored in the memory.
Rinse agent reservoir
Rinse agent is added during the final rinse. Rinse agent prevents traces of
water droplets being left behind on the clean dishes. Moreover, it ensures
that the dishes dry quicker, since the water drains off more easily.
The dishwasher is designed for use with liquid rinse agent. The rinse
agent reservoir is located on the inside of the door, alongside the
detergent compartment.

EN 13
OPERATION
Attention: fill up the rinse agent reservoir when the check light of the
rinse agent turns on. The reservoir has a capacity of approximately
100 ml. Do not overfill the rinse agent reservoir, this will cause the rinse
agent reservoir to overflow. Rinse agent spillages must be cleaned up,
otherwise they may lead to leakages as a result of extreme foaming.
1. Unscrew the cap from the rinse agent reservoir (to the left, toward
the arrow with “open”).
2. Pour the rinse agent into the reservoir, taking care not to overfill
it. The reservoir has a capacity of approximately 100 ml. If the
indicator is dark (b), this means that there is enough rinse agent
present. If the indicator is light-coloured (a), this means that you
have to add the rinse agent.
3. Replace the cap.
Setting the quantity of rinse agent
A fixed amount of rinse agent is added during the final rinse. As is the
case with detergent, the amount of rinse agent needed is dependent on
the hardness of the water in your area. Too much rinse agent can lead
to streaks on the dishes.
The rinse agent reservoir has 6 settings. The standard setting of the
reservoir is setting 3. To begin with, set the reservoir to setting 2. If this still
causes spotting on the dishes, you can increase the amount of rinse agent
added by turning the selector knob on the reservoir to setting 3. If there
is still no improvement, turn the selector knob to a higher setting. Repeat
this action until the dishes are streak-free when they emerge from the
dishwasher.

EN 14
Dishwasher detergents
The chemicals in dishwashing detergents remove the dirt, break it
down and make sure that the dirt is drained from the dishwasher.
Most dishwashing detergents available in the store 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 dishwashing detergent in combination with
“normal” washing programs produces less contamination and is good
for your dishes: these washing programs are specifically intended for
dirt-dissolving characteristics of the enzymes in concentrated dishwashing
detergents. 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
detergent, you have to make sure that the salt conttainer and the rinse
agent reservoir are filled.
OPERATION

EN 15
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 10 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 spring open.
2. Fill the detergent compartment immediately prior to starting a wash cycle.
The markings in the detergent compartment indicate the dosage.
• Container for the main detergent (b). The container has a capacity
of maximum 40 cm3.
Fill up the container with 25 cm3of the detergent for very dirty
dishes and 15 cm3for normal dishes.
• Container for the pre-wash detergent (a). The container has
a capacity of 5 cm3. Use the container in case of caked on dirt or
if the dishwasher is packed.
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.

EN 16
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 upper basket can be adjusted.
Height adjustment upper basket
Top basket of your machine is in upper position. When it is in this
position, you can place big items such as pans, etc. on lower basket.
When you take top basket to lower position, you can place and wash
big sized plates on the top basket.
1. In order to raise your basket, hold it from both sides and pull it
upwards.
2. In order to lower it, hold it from both sides again, and leave it.
In loaded basket adjustment mechanism, make sure that both sides
are in the same position (up or down).
12
Using the lower basket
We advise you to place large objects that are hardest to clean in the
lower 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.
