The dishwasher should only be operated on the voltage specified. For electrical safety, only earthed plugs and sockets should be used. Always use the fused plug provided with the appliance. The user is responsible for meeting these basic safety requirements.
The door of your machine is designed to support the weight of a full basket when the lower basket is pulled all the way out. Never place any other load on the door, otherwise the machine may tip over. human health due to the presence of hazardous substances. What should not be washed in your dishwasher Do not wash items soiled with cigarette ash, candle, paint wax, dyes, chemicals etc. since these may damage your machine After using the dishwasher always close the door as an open door can be a hazard.
3 Before first use After unpacking your dishwasher, check the machine against any possible transportation damage. Never install and use damaged machines. If your machine is damaged contact your retailer. Always have your machine installed by qualified electrician/ plumber to ensure correct installation. Any repairs and maintenance work on this dishwasher should be carried out by authorised service staff only. Unauthorised repairs are not only dangerous, but also lead to the cancellation of your warranty.
Electrical requirements Before you insert the plug into the wall socket make sure that the voltage and the frequency shown in the rating label corresponds to your electricity supply. We recommend that this appliance be connected to the mains supply via a suitable switched and fused socket in a readily accessible position. If the supply cord or the mains lead is damaged please do not replace it yourself.
Water inlet hose connection Drain Hose Connection Make sure your plumbing is suitable to install your new dishwasher. If in doubt contact a qualified plumber. Fit the drainage hose of your machine to the drainage pipe without bending. Secure your hose firmly to the waste pipe to avoid it coming off during the washing process. The appliance must be connected to the water mains using the new hose set supplied with your new dishwasher. Old hose sets must not be re-used.
5 How to use Water hardness & regeneration settings The dishwasher requires lime free water. Hard water leaves watermarks on your dishes. 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. To find out the hardness level of water in your area, contact your local Water Board or determine water hardness level by the help of test strip provided.
! For level 5 and level 6 there is no difference between hardness level settings. If the hardness of the water you use is more than 80°dF (French Hardness) or if you are using well water, we recommend that you use filters and purifiers. * If your tap water is below 9F (French hardness), you do not need to use special dishwasher salt in your machine. In this case, salt indicator light will be on continuously.
�� � �� � ���� ����� Detergent use Any brand of powder, gel and tablet detergents that have been designed for household dishwashers, may be used. Keep detergents in a cool and dry place and out of the reach of children. � �� � � ��� ������ � �� � � �� Caution: Only fill with salt just before � �� � � �� � �� � When you run the dishwasher, the Water softener will be full of water. Therefore, adding softening salt should always be done immediately before you start the dishwasher.
In hard water areas if a phosphate free detergent is used, white marks on the dishes and glasses may be observed. It may be prevented by increasing the amount of detergent. Detergents without chlorine have less bleaching effect. Coloured stains may not be completely removed. This may be prevented by increasing the amount of detergent, using a programme with a higher wash temperature or using a detergent with chlorine.
Using two-in-one detergent: detergent and softening salt • These detergents do not contain rinse aid so you need to use the rinse aid setting as described in the manual, making sure that there is rinse aid in the rinse aid dispenser with every wash and that you refill the rinse aid dispenser with rinse aid every time it is empty. Using two-in-one detergent and rinse aid • These detergents will not give you the same drying performance that you can obtain by using separate detergent, salt and rinse aid.
Powder and gel detergents are poured into the dispenser. If you are using tablet detergent read the manufacturer’s recommendations on the packaging in order to determine where the tablets should be placed inside the dishwasher (detergent dispenser, cutlery basket, etc.) After you put in the detergent, shut the container lid (D) and ensure you hear the clicking sound. During the wash programme the detergent will dispense automatically and the lid (D) will remain open when the programme finishes.
Loading the dishwasher Loading the dishwasher correctly will increase the washing, drying and energy performance of your machine. Examine the information given in this section and the information stated in the Programme chart and quick reference card given with the manual. Remove any large scraps of food from the dishes before placing in the dishwasher to avoid clogging the filters. There are three separate baskets, in which you can put your dishes.
Folding plate support rods There are two separate “folding plate support rods” in the lower basket of your dishwasher designed to allow you more space to accommodate saucepans and large bowls. You can either fold each section (1,2) individually or, all at once, to create a large empty space. Simply press the handgrips (A ) and fold them down” � horizontally on top of the full cutlery basket or on the racks to prevent accidental injury.

7 How to clean your machine Cleaning your machine at regular intervals ensures longer product life and reduces the risk of recurring problems. Clean spray arms and in particular filters at least once a week ! Always unplug the appliance and turn off the water supply before cleaning. To clean the door seal, use a neutral detergent and a damp cloth. To clean the control panel, use only slightly damp cloth. ����������� ������������� ! Do not use abrasive detergents.
Pull the main filter off. Clean all three filters under running tap water with a brush. Reinsert the main filter in its place. Place the coarse filter into the micro filter. Ensure the marks align properly. Turn the coarse filter clockwise until you hear a clicking sound. It is important that you fit the filters correctly. Caution: the dishwasher must not be used without filters. Incorrect repositioning of the filters will produce poor washing results.
