Water softener
• The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard water is used in the
dishwasher, deposits will form on the dishes and utensils.
• The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses a salt container specifically
designed to eliminate lime and minerals from the water.
Adjusting salt consumption
The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjustment in the amount of salt consumed based on
the hardness of the water used. This is intended to optimise and customise the level of salt
consumption. Please follow the steps below for adjustment in salt consumption.
1. Switch on the appliance;
2. Press the program button for more than 5 seconds to open the water softener settings
mode within 60 seconds after the appliance was switched on;
3. Press the program button to select the correct setting according to your local environment.
The settings will change in the following sequence: H1->H2->H3->H4->H5->H6;
4. Press the On/Off button to confirm the setting and to end the setting mode.

USING YOUR DISHWASHER
Adding salt
1. Remove the lower basket and unscrew the reservoir cap.
2. Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the container
3. Fill the salt container to its maximum limit with dishwasher salt (about 1.5 kg). It is normal
for a small amount of water to come out of the salt container.
4. After filling the container, put back the cap (tighten firmly).
5. The salt warning light will go off after the salt container has been filled with salt.
6. Immediately after filling the salt into the salt container, a washing program should be started
(we suggest to use a short program). Otherwise the filter system, pump or other important
parts of the machine may be damaged by salty water. This is out of warranty.
Note! The salt container must only be refilled when the salt warning light in the control
panel comes on. Depending on how well the salt dissolves, the salt warning light may
still be on even though the salt container is filled. If salt has spilled, run a soak or quick
program to remove it.

EN 9
Preparing and loading dishes
• Consider buying utensils which are identified as dishwasher-proof.
• For particular items, select a program with the lowest possible temperature.
• To prevent damage, do not take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher immediately after
the program has ended.
For washing the following cutlery/dishes are not suitable:
▷Cutlery with wooden, horn china or mother-of-pearl 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 cooper items
▷Crystal glass
▷Steel items subject to rusting
▷Wooden platters
▷Items made from synthetic fibres
For washing the following cutlery/dishes are of limited suitability:
▷Some types of glasses can become dull after a large number of washes
▷Silver and aluminum parts have a tendency to discolour during washing
▷Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed frequently
Recommendations for loading the dishwasher
Scrape off any large amounts of leftover food. Soften remnants of burnt food in pans. It is not
necessary to rinse the dishes under running water. For best performance of the dishwasher,
follow these loading guidelines.
Features and appearance of baskets and cutlery baskets may vary, depending on
your model.
• Place objects in the dishwasher in the following way:
▷Items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans, etc. are faced downwards.
▷Curved items, or ones with recesses, should be loaded aslant so that water can run off.
▷All utensils are stacked securely and cannot tip over.
▷All utensils are placed in the way that the spray arms can rotate freely during washing.
▷Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans etc. with the opening facing downwards
so that water cannot collect in the container or a deep base.
USING YOUR DISHWASHER

EN 10
▷Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another, or cover each other.
▷To avoid damage, glasses should not touch one another.
▷The upper basket is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses,
coffee and tea cups.
▷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.
▷Please do not overload your dishwasher. This is important for good results and for
reasonable consumption of energy.
Note: Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher as they could
easily fall out of the basket.
Loading the upper basket
The upper basket is designed to hold more delicate and lighter
dishware such as glasses, coffee and tea cups and saucers, as
well as plates, small bowls and shallow pans (as long as they are
not too dirty). Position the dishes and cookware so that they will
not get moved by the spray of water.
Loading the lower basket
We suggest that you place large items and the most difficult
to clean items into the lower basket: such as pots, pans, lids,
serving dishes and bowls. It is preferable to place serving dishes
and lids on the side of the racks in order to avoid blocking the
rotation of the top spray arm. The maximum diameter advised for
plates in front of the detergent dispenser is of 19 cm, this not to
hamper the opening of it.
Loading the cutlery basket/cutlery rack
Cutlery should be placed separately from each other in the appropriate positions, and do make
sure the utensils do not nest together, this may cause bad performance.
Warning! Do not let any item extend through the bottom.
USING YOUR DISHWASHER

EN 11
Removing the dishes
To prevent water dripping from the upper basket into the lower basket, we recommend that you
empty the lower basket first, followed by the upper basket.
Warning! Items will be hot! To prevent damage, do not take glass and cutlery out of the
dishwasher for around 15 minutes after the program has ended.
Adjusting the height of the upper basket type 1 (depending on the model)
The height of the upper basket can be easily adjusted to accommodate taller dishes in either the
upper or lower basket. To adjust the height of the upper basket, follow these steps:

EN 13
Function of the rinse aid and dishwasher detergent
The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on your
dishes, which can leave spots and streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to roll off
the dishes. Your dishwasher is designed to use liquid rinse aids.
Warning! Only use branded rinse aid for dishwasher. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser
with any other substances (e.g. Dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This
would damage the appliance.
When to refill the rinse aid dispenser
• Unless the rinse-aid warning light on the control panel is on, you can always estimate the
amount from the color of the optical level indicator located next to the cap.
• When the rinse-aid container is full, the indicator will be fully dark. The size of the dark dot
decreases as the rinse-aid diminishes. You should never let the rinse aid level be less than
1/4 full.
• As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the black dot on the rinse aid level indicator
changes, as illustrated below.
Full 3/4 full 1/2 full 1/4 full Empty
Function of the dishwasher detergent
The chemical ingredients that compose the detergent are necessary to remove, crush and
dispense all dirt out of the dishwasher. Most of the commercial quality detergents are suitable for
this purpose.
Warning! Proper use of the dishwasher detergent
- Use only detergent specifically made for dishwashers use.
- Keep your dishwasher detergent fresh and dry.
- Don't put powdered detergent into the dispenser until you are ready to wash dishes.
- Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Keep dishwasher detergent out of the reach
of children.

Filling the rinse aid reservoir
Rinse-Aid indicator
1. To open the dispenser, turn the cap to the "open" (left) arrow and lift it out
2. Carefully pour in the rinse-aid into its dispenser, whilst avoiding it to overflow.
Note: Clean up any spilled rinse aid with an absorbent cloth to avoid excessive foaming
during the next wash.
3. Replace the cap by inserting it aligned with "open" arrow and turning it to the closed (right)
arrow.
Adjusting the rinse aid reservoir
The rinse aid reservoir has 6 settings. Both the recommended setting
and the factory setting is “4”. If the dishes are not drying properly or are
spotted, adjust the dial to the next higher number until your dishes are
spot-free. Reduce it if there are sticky whitish stains on your dishes or a
bluish film on glassware or knife blades.
