SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING ! Knives and other utensils with sharp points must be loaded in the basket with their points down or placed in a horizontal position. There are certain basic safety rules which are valid for any domestic appliance. Installation Daily use ■ Make sure that the plug fitted to the machine is compatible with the power supply socket.
Water connection ■ The hose can be hooked over the side of the sink, but it must not be immersed in water, in order to prevent water from being syphoned back to the machine when this is in operation (fig. 4Y). Connecting the outlet hose IMPORTANT The appliance must be connected to the water mains using new hose-sets. The old hose-sets should not be reused. 1 ■ The outlet hose should disharge into a standpipe, making sure that there are no kinks (fig. 4).
WATER SOFTENER UNIT If your water is at level 0, you need not use any regenerating salt, nor need you make any adjustment, as your water is soft. Depending on the source of the supply, water contains varying amounts of limestone and minerals which are deposited on the dishes leaving whitish stains and marks. The higher the level of these minerals present in the water, the harder the water is.
Adjustment of the upper basket ■ Salad bowls and plastic bowls may also be loaded on the upper basket. It is advisable to block these in place so that the jets of water do not make them overturn. LOADING DISHES 1 Using the upper basket If 27 cm to 31 cm plates are normally used, load them onto the lower basket after the upper basket has been placed in its upper position and proceed as detailed below: 1. Pull out the upper basket; 2. Then grasp the basket from both sides and lift it upwards (fig. 1).

LOADING THE DETERGENT AND THE RINSE AID Half load wash upper basket 1/2 load standard (fig.
■ the effectiveness of detergents containing the built in water softener/salt depends on the hardness of your water supply. Check that the hardness of your water supply is within the effective range given on the detergent packaging. Should this occur, we would recommend using traditional separate products – salt, detergent and rinse agent. This will ensure that the water softener in the dishwasher operates correctly.
PRATICAL HINTS How to make savings ■ If you want the dishwasher to give a complete wash, place the dishes in the dishwasher at the end of each meal and if necessary turn on the COLD RINSE cycle to soften the food remains and remove bigger particles of food from the new load of dishes. When the dishwasher is full start the complete wash cycle programme.
DESCRIPTION OF THE CONTROL ■ To start the program, press the selected program button again to confirm. The relevant LED will stop blinking and remain on and, when the door is shut, the program will start automatically.
■ Close the door to allow the water to be discharged. The running program will be cancelled and the LED for the “recommended” program or the LED for the program that was used at least 3 times consecutively will start to blink. Option button Fault signals IMPORTANT This dishwasher is equipped with an anti-overflow safety device which will automatically empty any excess water should a problem occur.
