Note! A cycle that has already begun can only be changed in the start-
up phase. After this, the detergent will be sprayed all over the dishes or
the machine may have already pumped out the water. In that instance,
you must refill the detergent compartment (see section on Dishwasher
detergent).
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.

Rinse aid reservoir
Rinse aid is added during the final rinse. Rinse aid 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 aid. The rinse aid
reservoir is located on the inside of the door, alongside the detergent
compartment.

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 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 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. Open the basket retaining parts at the end of top basket rails by
turning them to the sides.
2. Take the basket out.
3. Change the position of the wheels; reinstall the basket to the rail.
4. Close basket retainer parts.
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
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.
