Before use Before using your dishwasher for the first time: 1 ensure that the electrical and water connections comply with the installation instructions 2 remove all packaging from inside the appliance 3 set the water softener 4 fill the salt container 5 fill the rinse aid dispenser. Setting the water softener The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener designed to remove minerals and salts from the water supply, which would have a detrimental or adverse effect on the operation of the appliance.
Filling with salt If your water is "level 1" it is already soft and therefore there is no need to use salt. Salt must be used from "level 2" upward. Only use salt specifically designed for use in dishwashers. All other types of salt not specifically designed for use in dishwasher, specially table salt, will damage the water softener. Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete washing programmes (not the Rinse and Hold programme).
Rinse aid Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring through rinsing, spot and streak free drying. The dispenser, which is positioned inside the door, holds about 110 ml of rinse aid, which is sufficient for 16 - 40 dishwashing programmes, depending upon the dosage setting. Filling with Rinse aid: 1. Open the container by turning the lid (A) anticlockwise. A 2. Add the rinse aid until the container is completely full (approx. 110 ml). The indicator (B) will be completely dark.
Use of detergent Only use detergents specifically designed for use in dishwashers. To fill the dishwasher with detergent proceed as follows: 1. Open the dispenser lid by pulling the catch (D). D 2. Add the detergent according to the recommendations in the programme chart. As all detergents are not the same, you should also consult the instructions on the packet specially for tablets.
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. The lower basket The lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates (up to 27 cm in diameter), 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; Glasses with long stems can be placed upside down in the raised cup racks. Larger plates (dinner plates up to 24 cm in diameter) must be loaded in the front part of the upper basket. Light items (plastic bowls etc.) should be loaded in the upper basket and arranged so they do not move.
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.

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 you carry out a maintenance wash every three months, by running a 65°C programme without dishes using detergent. Cleaning the central filters (after each wash) Inspect the central filters (B) and (C) and remove any scraps of food with a brush, under running water.
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 non-operation 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.

Water supply connections This dishwasher may be fed with either hot (max. 60°C) or cold water. Nevertheless we advise you a cold water supply. A hot water supply is not always efficient with very soiled crockery as it shortens the washing programmes a lot. The water pressure must be within the limits given in the technical specifications. Your local Water Authority will advise you on the average mains pressure in your area.
Water outlet hose connection 1 3 18 min 30 cm max 100 cm max 100 cm Ø Ø 21 1. To the sink outlet siphon, securing it if necessary with a clip. 2. Hooked over the edge of the sink using the special curved plastic guide provided. 3. To a stand pipe provided with vent-hole, minimum internal diameter 4 cm. The waste connection must be at a height of between 30 cm (minimum) and 100 cm (maximum) from the bottom of the dishwasher.
Adjusting the worktop You can move the worktop forward or backward by 25 mm in order to align the machine with other kitchen units. Simply unscrew the two front retaining screws, move the top to the required position and then retighten the screws. Fitting under a counter IN02 (kitchen worktop or sink) By removing the machine’s worktop, you can install it under a close fitting sink unit or a pre-existing top, providing the dimensions of the recess correspond to those shown in the picture.
