interrupted.
CAUTION: There is a chance of hot steam will come out from the unit when you open the door of
your machine. Be aware of potential injuries.
Setting the Water Softener (SELECT MODELS)
• The dishwasher needs soft water for good cleaning results. Hard water results in a build-up of
calcium deposits on dishware and in the dishwasher. Your dishwasher has a special water
softening system to remove the hardness of the tap water. Setting this system correctly will
increase the washing effectiveness.
• Water supplies with a hardness level higher than 9 °f (French Water Hardness) need to be
softened.
• If the hardness level of the water that you use is above 9 °f (French standard for water hardness)
or if you are using well water, then it is recommended to use a filter and water purification
devices.
• The dishwasher is pre-programmed at the factory setting level 1 (inactive) of water hardness. If
this setting corresponds to the hardness of your water, you do not need to do anything more.
• The dishwasher must be programmed for the water hardness in your area.
• To find out the hardness level of water in your area, contact your local Water Board or Determine
the water hardness level with the help of the test strip provided.
WARNING: If you move to a different location, the level of water hardness will possibly be
different. It is essential to set again the water hardness in order to obtain optimum washing
efficiency.

10
Test Strip (For Models with Water Softener)
The washing effectiveness of your machine depends on the softness of the tap water. For this
reason, your machine is equipped with a system that reduces the hardness of the main water supply.
The washing effectiveness will increase when the system is correctly set. To find out the water
hardness level of water in your area, contact your local water board or determine the water hardness
level by using the test strip (if available). Follow the steps in the image when using the test strip.

Filling The Dishwasher Salt Dispenser (Select models)
WARNING: Culinary and table salts do not dissolve in water easily. Using these kinds of salts will
damage the water softener system in your machine.
NOTE: The dishwasher can only use special dishwasher salt to soften the water. Do not use any
small-grained or powdered type of salt, which are easily soluble. Using any other type of salt can
damage your machine. The manufacturer is not liable for damages resulting from the use of the
wrong type of salt
WARNING: Dishwasher detergent will damage the softener assembly. Do not fill the salt
container with dishwasher detergent.
WARNING: If the water in your area is very soft and consistently lower than 9°f (French Water
Hardness) you do not have to add dishwasher salt.
1. To put softener salt, first remove the lower basket and
then open the salt compartment cap by turning it
counterclockwise. (Fig. 1-2)
2. Fill the compartment with 1kg salt and water (Fig.3). If
available, use the funnel (Fig.4) provided to make
filling easier.
3. Refit the cap and close it.
WARNING: Starting the machine with any wash program is recommended after filling the salt
container, in case of any spilled salt solutions. This prevents damage to the machine.
NOTE: Fill the salt compartment with water only the first time you fill the salt compartment.
NOTE: If the salt warning lamp on the control panel illuminates fill the salt compartment with salt
again.
WARNING: Use softener salt specifically produced for use in dishwashers.
WARNING: If you switch to using a detergent that does not contain salt or rinse-aid, it is
important to remember to add dishwasher salt and rinse-aid.
Salt Refill Indicator (Select models)
• If the salt indicator light comes on during a program, you need to wait until the end of the
program to fill the salt reservoir with dishwasher salt.
• After the salt reservoir has been filled, the refill indicator may still be lit up if the salt concentration
has not yet reached the correct level. It will go out when the correct concentration is reached.
NOTE: The salt refill indicator will be turned off if you have programmed the dishwasher for a
water hardness below 9 °f.

Detergent Usage
WARNING: Use a detergent specifically designed for use in domestic dishwashers.
• You can find powder, gel, and tablet detergents on the market that have been designed for
household dishwashers.
• Detergent should be put into the compartment prior to starting the machine. Add the proper
detergent for the selected program to ensure the best performance. Use less detergent if the
dishes are only lightly soiled. Using excess detergent can leave a film on dishes and in the
dishwasher, resulting in poor wash performance. Do not use detergent tablets for shorter wash
cycles. The tablet may not dissolve completely, causing detergent residue on dishes and
inefficient cleaning.
NOTE: The amount of detergent needed depends on the cycle, load size, and soil level of the
dishes. Too much detergent in soft water may cause glass corrosion and will not dissolve in water.
WARNING: Do not use too much detergent if your water supply is soft.
WARNING: Keep your detergents in cool, dry places and out of reach of children. See the
detergent manufacturer’s instructions for further information.
WARNING: Detergent tablets do not fully dissolve with short programs.
To prevent detergent residues on the tableware, we recommend that you use tablets with long
programs.
WARNING: Do not use detergent in the Rinse cycle (select models). If you do not know the
hardness of your water supply, use 15 ml/3 tsp detergent. Increase the amount of detergent if you
see white water marks, especially on the surface of the glassware.
• Should you need more information concerning the detergent you are using, contact the
detergent’s manufacturer directly.
• Check that the detergent dispenser is empty after the completion of each wash program.
Filling The Detergent
NOTE: The dispenser should be refilled just before the start of each program.
1. Push the latch to open the detergent container as shown in
the image to the right (fig 1).
2. Pour/put the detergent into the dispenser (fig 2).
3. The detergent container has level lines inside. It is possible
to measure the right detergent amount using these lines.
The container can hold 40 cm³ of detergent. Open the
dishwasher detergent and pour it into the larger
compartment, 25 cm³ if your dishes are heavily soiled or 15
cm³ if they are less soiled. You may have to add more
detergent to your machine, depending on the degree of
soil and on the water hardness level in your area.
4. Close the flap of the dispenser.

Fig. 1 Fig. 2
NOTE: The flap is always open at the end of a program.
WARNING: Follow instructions on the package of the detergent when using liquid dishwasher
detergent, concentrated powder detergent, or tablet detergent.
DETERGENT

13
WARNING: Amounts may vary if you use liquid or concentrated powder detergent. Tablet
detergents should be placed in a detergent container.
WARNING: Deviations are possible depending on how dirty the dishes are and how hard the
water is in your location.
WARNING: Use only the proper amount of detergent. Continued use of too much detergent may
cause machine damage.
Using Combined Detergents
• Detergents can also come in a combined format; they can be called “2-in-1” or “3-in-1”
depending on the number of ingredients the manufacturer wishes to include.
• 2 in1 detergents contain detergent + salt or rinse aid. While using the 2-in-1 detergent, it
should be noted what the tablets contain inside.
• The other tablet detergents also have detergent + rinse aid + salt + various extra functions.
• Combined detergents produce sufficient results under certain usage conditions only. Such
detergents contain rinse aid and/or salt in preset amounts.
Points to consider when using this type of product:
• Always make sure to check the specifications of the detergent you will use and if it is a
combined detergent.
• Check if the detergent used is appropriate for the hardness of the water the machine uses.
• Observe the instructions listed on the detergent packaging.
• If you are using tablet detergents, never put them into the interior section or the cutlery basket of
the dishwasher. Always put the tablets into the detergent compartment.
• When the conditions of use of such products and the machine settings are appropriate, they
ensure savings in salt and/or rinse aid consumption.
• Contact the detergent manufacturers if you are not obtaining good wash results (if your dishes
stay calcareous and wet) after having used 2-in-1 or 3-in-1 detergents. The scope of warranty for
your machine does not cover any complaints caused by using these types of detergents.
Recommended usage: If you want to obtain better results while using combined detergents, add salt
and rinse aid into your machine and adjust the water hardness setting and the rinse aid setting to the
lowest position.
CAUTION: The solubility of tablet detergents produced by different companies can vary depending
on the temperature and time. Therefore, it is not recommended to use such detergents
in short programs. It is more suitable to use powder detergents in such programs.
Warning: Should you encounter a problem that you have not encountered before, due to the use of
this type of detergent, contact the detergent manufacturers directly.
When using combined detergents:
• Fill the salt and rinse aid compartments.
• Adjust the water hardness setting to the highest position and run an empty wash.
• Adjust the water hardness level.
• Make the suitable rinse aid setting.
Water Temperature
Hot water is needed for the best dishwashing and drying results. Water entering the dishwasher
should be at least 120°F (49°C) to give satisfactory results.

14
To check the water temperature entering the dishwasher:
• Turn on the hot water faucet nearest to the dishwasher for several minutes to clear cool water
from the pipes.
• Hold a candy or meat thermometer in the stream of water to check the temperature.
• If the temperature is below 120°F (49°C), have a qualified technician raise the hot water
heater thermostat setting.
Rinse-Aid Usage
Rinse-aid makes dishes sparkle and helps them to dry without spotting. Rinse-aid is required for
stain-free utensils and clear glasses.
• Use only rinse-aid for domestic dishwashers.
• Filling the rinse-aid reservoir with detergent will damage the reservoir. Only pour rinse-aid
formulated for residential dishwashers into the reservoir.
NOTE: When the Rinse-Aid indicator lights up, the rinse-aid reservoir contains sufficient rinse aid
for 2-3 programs only. When using “Tab” detergents rinse-aid is
not needed.
Filling the Rinse-Aid and Setting
1. To fill the rinse-aid compartment, open the rinse-aid
compartment cap (Fig.A)
2. Fill the compartment with rinse aid to the MAX level and
then close the cap. Be careful not to overfill the rinse aid
compartment and wipe up any spills.
3. Close the cap until it clicks. Otherwise, water can enter the
rinse aid reservoir during a program.

as well as washing and drying performance.
• You can load the lower rack with round and deep items such as pots with long handles, pot lids,
plates, salad plates, and cutlery sets. The upper basket has been designed for dessert plates,
salad bowls, cups, and glasses. When placing long-stem glasses and goblets, lean them
against the basket edge, rack, or glass supporter wire and not against other items. Do not lean
long glasses against one another. They cannot remain steady and may receive damage. It is
more appropriate to locate the thin, narrow parts in the middle sections of baskets. You can
place spoons among the other cutlery sets to prevent them from sticking to one another.
• You are recommended to use the cutlery grid in order to obtain the best result. To avoid any
injuries, always place long-handled and sharp-pointed dishes, such as a serving fork, bread
knife, etc. with their sharp points facing down or horizontally on the baskets.
WARNING: Place your dishes into your machine in a way that will not prevent the upper and
lower spray arms from spinning.
NOTE: Place all large and very dirty items in the lower rack.
WARNING: Do not put in the appliance items that can absorb water (sponges, household cloths).
NOTE: Place all containers such as cups, glasses, and pots into the dishwasher with the opening
facing downwards (so that no water can collect).
NOTE: Dishes and cutlery should not be placed above each other.
NOTE: Do not overload your dishwasher and pay attention to manufacturer instructions regarding
dishes that are appropriate for use in a dishwasher. Only by placing suitable dishes, will you obtain
optimal washing results with sensible use of energy.
High-temperature water and dishwasher detergent may form a chemical synthesis that can damage
certain items.
WARNING: Be careful when loading and unloading sharp items. Load sharp knives with the
handles facing up to reduce the risk of personal injury.
Follow the steps below before loading the dishwasher:
1. Open the door.
2. Remove coarse food leftovers from tableware.
3. Load the dishwasher.
NOTE: While the appliance is running, if you open the door, all functions are automatically

Lower Rack Folding Arms
Folding arms, consisting of four parts that are located on the lower rack of your machine, are
designed in order to let you place big items, such as pots, pans, etc., more easily. Each part can be
folded separately, or all of them can be folded to create larger spaces. You can use the folding racks
by raising them upwards, or by folding them.
