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. Only use special pelletized dishwasher salt in your machine to soften the hard water. Never use other types of salts including table salt, animal feeding salt, sea salt, culinary salt.
New compact powders are generally phosphate-free. As phosphates have water softening properties, we suggest you add salt to the salt container even if the hardness of your water is as low as a 6 clarke degrees. 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.
• form especially on glasses. To avoid lime scale formation: Put your appliance’s water softener setting at “1” and add salt. When the salt is used up, add more salt to the water softener.
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 four separate “folding plate support rods” in the lower basket of your dishwasher designed to allow you more space to accommodate saucepans and large bowls in the lower basket. You can either fold each section (1,2,3,4) individually or, all at once, to create a large empty space.
Upper basket height adjustment The upper basket is equipped with a lifting mechanism which enables you to change the height of the basket even if it is fully loaded, and without having to remove it from the dishwasher. The height of the upper basket was set at the factory to the lowest position. To lift A the upper basket to the “high” position, hold it on one side and carefully pull it upwards.

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.
