Before using your dishwasher for the
first time:
1. Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply
with the installation instructions
2. Remove all packaging from inside the appliance
3. Set the water softener
4. Pour 1 litre of water inside the salt container and then fill
with salt
5. Fill the rinse aid dispenser
6. Run a Rinse and Hold programme.
Setting the water softener
The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener designed to
remove minerals and salts from the water supply, which would
have a detrimental or adverse effect on the operation of the
appliance.
The higher the content of these salts, the harder your water is.
Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, German
degrees, French degrees and PPM (parts per Million).
The softener should e adjusted according to the hardness of
the water in your area.Your local Water Authority can advise
you on the hardness of the water in your area.
The dishwasher is factory set at level 2.
If this level is not suita le for your area the softener should e
adjusted.
If your water is level 0 it is already soft and therefore there
is no need to use salt.
Adjust the water softener on level 1 without using salt.
In this case the salt indicator light on the control panel will
always remain illuminated when the machine is switched
on.
To adjust the water softener
With a screwdriver turn the selector on the upper front corner
of the machine until the level required corresponds with the
marker.
Filling with salt
Only use salt specifically designed for use in dishwashers.
All other types of salt not specifically designed for use in a
dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water
softener.
Only fill with salt just before starting one of the washing
programmes.
This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which
may have been spilled, remaining on the bottom of the
machine for any period of time, which may cause
corrosion.
To fill:
1. To fill with salt, unscrew the cap of the salt container.
2. Pour 1 litre of water inside the container (this is necessary
only efore filling with salt for the first time).
3. Using the funnel provided,
pour in the salt until the
container is full.
Do not worry if water over
flows from the unit when
filling with salt, this is quite
normal.
4. Replace the cap making
sure that there is no trace
of salt on the screw thread
or on the gasket.
5. Screw on the cap tightly.
The salt container will require topping up periodically.
The salt cap has a refill indicator window in the centre. A green
float is clearly visi le when there is salt inside the container,
and almost disappears when the salt has finished reminding
you to add salt.

Rinse aid
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring
thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying.The
dispenser, which is positioned inside the door, holds a out 110
ml of rinse aid, which is sufficient for 16 - 40 dishwashing
programmes, depending upon the dosage setting.
Filling with rinse aid
1. Open the container y turning the lid (A) anticlockwise.
2. Add the rinse aid until the container is completely full.
The indicator (B) will e completely dark.
3. Top up the rinse aid when the indicator (B) ecomes clear.
Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill.
Do not put liquid detergent in the rinse aid compartment. Clean
up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an a sor ent cloth to
avoid excess foaming during the next wash.
Adjusting the dose
According to the finish and drying results o tained, adjust the
dose of rinse aid y means of the 6 position selector (C)
(position 1 minimum dosage, position 6 maximum dosage).
Increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on
the dishes after washing.
Reduce it if there are sticky whitish streaks on the dishes.
Use of detergent
Only use detergents specifically designed for use in
dishwashers.
If using powder detergents proceed as follows:
1. Open the dispenser lid y pulling the catch (D).
2. Add the detergent according to the instructions given in the
"Washing programmes" chart.
As all detergents are not the same, you should also consult
the instructions on the packet.
3. Always close the lid.
4. If the programme has a prewash add the required detergent
over the lid of the dispenser, according to the instructions
given in the "Washing programmes" chart.
If using detergent in tablets proceed as follows:
1. For all programmes; place 1 ta let inside the detergent
dispenser.
2. Always close the lid.
3. For all programmes with prewash; place a portion of a
further ta let on the lid of the detergent dispenser.
If detergents in ta let form are used with the QUICK 50°
programme, it is advisa le to put the ta let directly in the
dishwasher and not in the dispenser or in special ta let
containers.This ONLY applies to this programme.
Insufficient quantities of detergent will produce poor
washing results, whereas an excessive amount of
detergent will not improve washing results and is also
wasteful.
Using no more than the correct amount also contributes
to reducing pollution.
Compact detergents with enzymes
In these compact powders the environmentally unfriendly
components have een replaced y natural enzymes and other
more iodegrada le su stances.
The enzymes deploy their full dirt dissolving power at a
temperature as low as 50°C.
By choosing the Bio programmes you can therefore achieve
the same cleaning results that would otherwise e achieva le
only with 65°C programmes and conventional detergents.

Loading your appliance
Before placing dishes in the machine, remove any scraps of
food, to avoid clogging the filters and consequently reducing
the performance.
Do not load very small items which can fall through the
bas ets.
The lower bas et
The lower asket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates,
salad owls, cutlery etc.
Large dishes and lids should e arranged around the edge of
the asket, ensuring that the upper spray arm can turn freely.
The cutlery bas et
Long bladed nives stored in an upright position are a
potential hazard.
Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving nives
must be positioned horizontally in the upper bas et.
Ta e care when loading or unloading sharp items such as
nives.
Cutlery should e placed in the remova le cutlery asket with
the handles facing downwards.
If the handles protrude from the ottom of the asket,
o structing the lower spray arm, load the cutlery with the
handles facing upwards.
Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent them from sticking
together.
Silver cutlery tends to go lack if mixed with steel cutlery. Place
it in the cutlery asket separate from the others.
For est results we recommend you to use the cutlery grids
provided (if the size and dimensions allow it).
The cutlery asket is in two parts which can e separated to
give greater loading flexi ility.
To separate the two parts, slide them horizontally in opposite
directions and pull them apart.
To reassem le, reverse the procedure.
The upper bas et
The upper asket is designed for plates (dessert plates,
saucers, dinner plates of up to 25 cm in diameter), salad
owls, cups and glasses.
Arrange items on and
underneath the fold-down
cup racks so that water can
reach all surfaces.
Light items (plastic owls
etc.) should e loaded in the
upper asket and arranged
so they do not move.
In case that plates are loaded in the upper
basket:
load them starting from
the rear positions of the
asket, tilting them slightly
forwards and avoiding the
front positions near the
door.
Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can
rotate freely.
Adjusting the height of the upper bas et
If washing very large plates (over 27 cm and up to 32 cm in
diameter) you can load them in the lower asket after moving
the upper asket to the higher position.
To move to the higher position proceed as follows:
1. Move the front runner
stops (A) of the upper
asket outwards and slide
the asket out.
2. Refit the asket in the
higher position and
replace the stops (A) in
their original position.
When the top asket is in the higher position it will only take
plates up to 20 cm in diameter and you will not e a le to use
the raised cup racks.
After loading your machine always close the door, as an
open door can be a hazard.

wait until the dishwasher is full efore washing.
Do not prewash dishes under running water.
Select the Quic 50°C programme when dishes are not very
soiled, following the instructions given in the "Washing
programmes" chart.
For best washing results
Before loading, remove all scraps of food and soak very
heavily soiled pots and pans.
Arrange saucepans, cups and glasses etc.upside-down.
Tilt items with convex or concave surfaces so that the water
drains off easily.
Avoid contact etween the dishes as far as possi le.
Items not suitable for dishwashers
The following items should not e washed in the dishwasher
(unless they are sold as dishwasher proof):
- Cutlery with wooden or horn handles or glued parts
- ronze cutlery
- saucepans with wooden handles
- aluminium ware
- crystal ware
- leaded glass
- plastic items
- antique or fine decorated china
Certain types of decoration can discolour when washed in a
dishwasher.
Crystal-ware and plastic o jects, if not guaranteed dishwasher
proof should e washed y hand.
Certain types of glass can also ecome opaque after eing
washed several times in a dishwasher.
A chemical reaction can occur etween silver cutlery and
stainless steel cutlery. As a precaution, do not wash together.
Iron and cast iron o jects can rust and stain other items.
Aluminium tends to go lack, copper, pewter and rass tend to
stain.
If in doubt chec with manufacturer of the item.
When buying new dishes, ensure that they are dishwasher
proof.
