Do not put liquid detergent in the rinse aid compartment. Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next wash. Before using your dishwasher for the first time 1. Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply with the installation instructions Adjusting the dose 2.
Using your appliance Loading your appliance The upper basket Before placing dishes in the machine, remove any scraps of food, to avoid clogging the filters and consequently reducing the performance. The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates, saucers, dinner plates of up to 25 cm in diameter), salad bowls, cups and glasses. Arrange items on and underneath the fold-down cup racks so that water can reach all surfaces. For taller items, the cup racks can be folded upwards.
Use of detergent Only use detergents specifically designed for use in dishwashers. If using powder detergents proceed as follows: 1. Open the dispenser lid by pulling the catch (D). 2. Add the detergent according to the recommended quantity 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.

Operating sequence 1. Check the filters 9. At the end of the washing programme Ensure they are clean and properly positioned (see "Maintenance and cleaning"). At the end of the programme the dishwasher will automatically stop and an intermittent audible signal informs you that the programme has finished. The indicator light of the programme will turn off and the "END OF CYCLE" indicator light starts flashing. 2.
Maintenance and cleaning The dishwasher must not be used without filters. Incorrect repositioning and fitting of the filters will produce poor washing results. Cleaning the filters is vital to ensure correct operation of the machine. Internal cleaning Ensure that the seals around the door, the detergent and rinse aid dispensers are cleaned regularly with a damp cloth. We recommend every 3 months to run a 65°C wash programme without dishes using detergent.
Something not working Certain problems are due to lack of simple maintenance or oversights, which can be solved easily without calling out an engineer. Before contacting your local Service Agent, please carry out the checks listed below. Symptom Solution The machine will not start ● ● ● The machine does not fill with water ● ● ● ● The door has not been properly closed. The plug is not properly inserted in the power socket.
