Set the water softener 11 Set 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 minerals and salts, the harder your water is. Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, German degrees (°dH), French degrees (°TH) and mmol/l (millimol per litre - international unit for the hardness of water).

Use of dishwasher salt 13 Use of dishwasher salt WARNING! 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 complete washing programmes. This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been spilt, remaining on the bottom of the machine for any period of time, which may cause corrosion. To fill: 1.
Use of rinse aid Use of rinse aid WARNING! Only use branded rinse aid for dishwashers. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances (e.g. dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This would damage the appliance. Rinse aid ensures thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying. Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse. 1. Open the container by pressing the release button (A). 2. Add the rinse aid in the container.
Daily use 15 Adjusting the dosage of rinse aid According to the finish and drying results obtained, adjust the dose of rinse aid by means of the 6 position selector (position 1= minimum dosage, position 6= maximum dosage). The dose is factory set in position 4. 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 or a bluish film on glassware or knife blades.
Loading cutlery and dishes • When loading the dishes and cutlery, please note: – Dishes and cutlery must not impede the rotation of the spray arms. – Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans, etc. with the opening downwards so that water cannot collect in the container or a deep base. – Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another, or cover each other. – To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch. – Lay small objects in the cutlery basket.
Loading cutlery and dishes The lower basket The lower basket is designed to take saucepan, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery ect.

Installation Installation instructions Installation WARNING! Any electrical and/or plumbing work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician and/or plumber or competent person. Remove all packaging before positioning the machine. If possible, position the machine next to a water tap and a drain. This dishwasher is designed to be fitted under a kitchen counter or work surface.
Water supply connections Connection to a cold water supply is advised. If connection is made to a hot water supply the maximum permissible temperature is 60°C. A hot water supply is not always efficient with very soiled crockery as it shortens the washing programmes a lot. For making the connection itself, the coupling nut fitted to the machine's supply hose is designed to screw onto a 3/4" gas thread spout or to a purpose made quickcoupling tap such as the Press-block.
• If water inlet hose or the safety valve is damaged, remove the mains plug immediately. • A water inlet hose with safety valve must only be replaced by a specialist or by the Service Force Centre. WARNING! Warning! Dangerous voltage. Water outlet hose connection The end of the drain hose can be connected in the following ways: 1. To the sink outlet spigot, securing it to the underside of the work surface. This will prevent waste water from the sink running into the machine. 2.
Electrical connection 37 Likewise the internal diameter of the couplings used for connections to the waste outlet must be no smaller than the diameter of the hose provided. When connecting the drain hose to an under sink trap spigot, the entire plastic membrane (A) must be removed. Failure to remove all the membrane will result in food particles building up over time eventually blocking the dishwasher drain hose spigot.
