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). The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water in your area. Water hardness Your local Water Authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area.
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.
2. Add the rinse aid in the container. The maximum level for filling is indicated by "max". 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.
For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery and dishes are not suitable: are of limited suitability: • Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or mother-ofpearls handles. • Plastic items that are not heat resistant. • Older cutlery with glued parts that are not temperature resistant. • Bonded cutlery items or dishes. • Pewter or copper items. • Lead crystal glass. • Steel items prone to rusting. • Wooden platters. • Items made from synthetics fibres.
If the handles protrude from the bottom of the basket, obstructing the lower spray arm, load the cutlery with the handles facing upwards. Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent them from sticking together. To make loading of the cutlery basket easier, lower the cutlery basket handle. The cutlery basket is in two parts which can be separated to give greater loading flexibility. To separate the two parts, slide them horizontally in opposite directions and pull them apart.
For glasses with long stems (according to the size and dimensions), set the glass holder to the left or right position. Glasses with long stems can be placed upside down in the cup racks. The cup racks can be adjusted in three different positions to improve loading flexibility. The central rows of prongs can be easily lowered to improve loading flexibility. Before closing the door, ensured that the spray arms can rotate freely.
1. Pull out the basket until it stops. 2. Carefully lift both sides upwards and then allow the mechanism to drop back down slowly, keeping hold of it. Never lift or lower the basket on one side only With the upper basket raised we recommend you adjust the cup racks in the lowest position. To lower the basket to the original position proceed as follows: After loading your machine always close the door, as an open door can be a hazard.
4. To change the setting, press button B again, the digital display shows the new setting. 5. To memorize the operation, switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off button. If you decide to revert back to the use of individual detergents we advise that you: 1. Deactivate the Multitab function. 2. Fill up the salt container and the rinse aid dispenser again. 3. Adjust the water hardness setting to the highest setting and perform 1 normal washing programme without loading any dishes. 4.

Leave the dishwasher door ajar for a few minutes before removing the dishes; this Unloading the dishwasher • Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks. The dishes should therefore be allowed to cool down before removing from the appliance. • 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.

Arrangement lower basket Arrangement cutlery basket 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 connection Water inlet connection This dishwasher may be fed with either hot (max. 60°) or cold water. Nevertheless we advise you use a cold water supply. A hot water supply is not always efficient with heavily soiled crockery as it shortens the washing programmes a lot. For making the connection itself, the coupling nut fitted to the machine’s inlet hose is designed to screw onto a 3/4" gas thread spout or to a purpose made quick-coupling tap such as the Press-block.
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.
Electrical connection Warning! Safety standards require the appliance to be earthed. Prior to using the appliance for the first time, ensure that the rated voltage and type of supply on the rating plate match that of the supply where the appliance is to be installed. The fuse rating is also to be found on the rating plate. Always plug the mains plug into a correctly installed shockproof socket. Multi-way plugs, connectors and extension cables must not be used.
