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 complete 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.
Rinse aid Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying.

Filling with rinse aid 1. Open the container by turning the lid (A) anticlockwise. A BR01 2. Add the rinse aid until the container is completely full. The indicator (B) will be completely dark. 3.
Using your appliance 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 baskets. Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes. UI50 The lower basket The lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery etc.
The upper basket The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates, saucers, dinner plates of up to 24 cm in diameter), salad bowls, cups and glasses. Arrange items on and underneath the cup racks so that water can reach all surfaces. Glasses with long stems can be placed upside down in the cup racks. Light items (plastic bowls etc.) should be loaded in the upper basket and arranged so they do not move.
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 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.
Hints and tips To save energy Items not suitable for dishwashers Place dishes in the machine immediately after every meal and wait until the dishwasher is full before washing. Do not prewash dishes under running water.

Operating sequence 1. Check the filters 8a. Setting and starting the programme without DELAY START Ensure they are clean and properly positioned (see "Maintenance and cleaning"). Press the push button corresponding to the wanted programme: the indicator light corresponding to the programme illuminates and the phase indicator lights foreseen for that programme start flashing. 2.

During the countdown the only indicator lights illuminate are the programme light and the light of the number of hours to the start of the programme. Empty the lower basket first and then the upper one; this will avoid water dripping from the upper basket onto the dishes in the lower one. Once the delayed time has elapsed the programme will start automatically.
Maintenance and cleaning 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. Cleaning the central filter (After each wash) Scraps of food may accumulate in the drain filter (A) and should be removed by rinsing the filter under running water. To remove the drain filter - simply pull it out by the handle.
External cleaning Clean the external surfaces of the machine and control panel with a damp soft cloth. If necessary use only neutral detergents. Never use abrasive products, scouring pads or solvent (acetone, trichloroethylene etc....). Prolonged periods of nonoperation If you are not using the machine for any period of time you are advised to: 1. Unplug the appliance and then turn off the water. 2. Fill the rinse aid dispenser. 3. Leave the door ajar to prevent the formation of any unpleasant smells. 4.
