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. Pour 1 litre of water inside the salt container and then fill with salt 5. Fill the rinse aid dispenser. 6. Run a "Rinse and Hold" programme. 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. Water softener adjustment The higher the content of these salts, the harder your water is. Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, German, French degrees and PPM (parts per Million). The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water in your area. Your local Water Authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area. The dishwasher is factory set at level 2. AA01 If this level is not suitable for your area the softener should be adjusted. Adjustment on the machine A B A 1 2 AA04 AA03 To adjust the water softener, follow the instructions given in the chart Water hardness Level French German degrees degrees PPM Use of salt Water softener adjustment (°TH) (°dH) (parts per million) 1 0 - 14 0-7 0 - 140 NO 2 Adjustment on the machine A B - NO 1 NO 1 15 - 39 8 - 21 141 - 390 YES - 3 40 - 50 22 - 28 391 - 500 YES + NO 1 4 51 - 70 29 - 39 501 - 700 YES - YES 2 5 71 - 90 40 - 50 701 - 900 YES + YES 2 15 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. SR15 1. Unscrew the cap of the salt container. The salt container will require topping up periodically. According to the model, an indicator reminds you when filling with salt: A) The salt cap has a refill indicator window in the centre. A green float is clearly visible when there is salt inside the container, and almost disappears when the salt has finished reminding you to add salt. SR16 2. Pour 1 litre of water inside the container (this is necessary only before filling with salt for the first time). SR11 B) A salt indicator light on the control panel comes on when the salt has finished. SR17 3. Using the funnel provided, pour in the salt until the container is full. The salt indicator light on the control panel can remain illuminated for 2-6 hours after the salt has been replenished, assuming the dishwasher remains switched on. If you are using salts that take longer to dissolve then this can take longer. The function of the machine is not affected. C) For appliances not provided with salt indicator: top up periodically the salt container with salt (after about every 50 washing cycles with water softener setted on level 3). SR18 4. Remove any trace of salt on the screw thread or on the gasket. Do not worry if water over flows from the unit when filling with salt, this is quite normal. SR19 5. Screw on the cap tightly. 16 Rinse aid Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thorough rinsing, and 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. 2. Add the rinse aid until the container is completely full. The indicator (B) will be completely dark. A 3. Top up the rinse aid when the indicator (B) becomes clear. BR01 (Only for model with rinse aid indicator light) Top up the rinse aid when the rinse aid indicator light on the control panel illuminates. Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill. B m a x 6 5 4 3 2 1 Do not put liquid detergent in the rinse aid compartment. Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next wash. BR03 Adjusting the dose According to the finish and drying results obtained, adjust the dose of rinse aid by means of the 6 position selector (C) (position 1 minimum dosage, position 6 maximum dosage). Start from position 3. C BR02 17 x 6 5 4 3 2 1 m a Gradually 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. Use of detergent Only use detergents specifically designed for use in dishwashers. If using powder detergents proceed as follows: Min = 15 g Max = 30 g D 1. Open the dispenser lid by pulling the catch (D). 2. Add the detergent according to the recommended quantity given in the "Washing programmes" chart (Instructions for use - Part 2). As all detergents are not the same, you should also consult the instructions on the packet. M M IN AX 3. Always close the lid. 4. If the programme has a prewash add a little amount of detergent over the lid of the dispenser. Follow the recommended quantity of detergent given in the "Washing programmes" chart. DE17 If using detergent in tablets proceed as follows: 1. For all programmes; place 1 tablet inside the detergent dispenser. 2. Always close the lid. 3. For all programmes with prewash; place a portion of a further tablet on the lid of the detergent dispenser. DE02 Insufficient quantities of detergent will produce poor washing results, whereas an excessive amount of detergent will not improve washing results and is also wasteful. Using no more than the correct amount also contributes to reducing pollution. Compact detergents with enzymes In these compact powders the environmentally unfriendly components have been replaced by natural enzymes and other more biodegradable substances. The enzymes deploy their full dirt dissolving power at a temperature as low as 50°C. By choosing the "BIO" programmes (if available) you can therefore achieve the same cleaning results that would otherwise be achievable only with 65°C programmes and conventional detergents. These new compact powders are generally phosphate-free. 18 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. (Follow the instructions given in "Instruction Book" - Part 2). The following items should not be washed in the dishwasher (unless they are sold as dishwasher proof): If necessary run the Rinse and Hold programme (see "Washing Programmes" chart) so that any food scraps do not become caked on the dishes while you are waiting to run the complete wash programme. - Cutlery with wooden or horn handles or glued parts Do not prewash dishes under running water. - bronze cutlery - saucepans with wooden handles - aluminium ware Select an economic programme when dishes are not very soiled, following the instructions given in the "Washing programmes" chart. - crystal ware - leaded glass - plastic items - antique or fine decorated china For best washing and drying results Certain types of decoration can discolour when washed in a dishwasher. Before loading, remove all scraps of food and soak very heavily soiled pots and pans. Arrange saucepans, cups and glasses etc. upside-down. Crystal-ware and plastic objects, if not guaranteed dishwasher proof should be washed by hand. Tilt items with convex or concave surfaces so that the water drains off easily. Certain types of glass can also become opaque after being washed several times in a dishwasher. Avoid contact between the dishes as far as possible. A chemical reaction can occur between silver cutlery and stainless steel cutlery. As a precaution, do not wash together. Iron and cast iron objects can rust and stain other items. Aluminium tends to go black, copper, pewter and brass tend to stain. If in doubt check with manufacturer of the item. When buying new dishes, ensure that they are dishwasher proof. 19 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 filters (After each wash) Inspect the central filters (B) and (C) and remove any scraps of food with a brush, under running water. Filters (B) and (C) are both removed by lifting up the outer one (B) (pulling the central funnel upwards); the smaller filter (C) can be removed by pressing the two tongues (D). D C D B B Once cleaned, refit the filters by pressing them down until they click into place. MA02 MA13 Cleaning the large filter (every week) If necessary clean the large filter (A) on both sides under running water, using a brush. To take it out, remove the spray arm by pressing the two tongues (E), turn the ring (F) anticlockwise and then slide the whole part out. Refit the filter following the above instructions in reverse order. MA08 E E A The dishwasher must not be used without filters. Incorrect repositioning and fitting of the filters will produce poor washing results. Cleaning the filters is vital to ensure correct operation of the machine. F MA03 20 C A F MA01 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. Leave the inside of the machine clean. Frost precautions Avoid placing the machine in a location where the temperature is below 0°C. If this is unavoidable, empty the machine, close the appliance door, disconnect the water inlet pipe and empty it. Moving the machine If you have to move the machine (moving house etc....): 1. Unplug it. 2. Turn the water tap off. 3. Remove the water inlet and discharge hoses. 4. Pull the machine out together with the hoses. Avoid over tilting the machine during transportation. 21 Something not working Certain problems are due to lack of simple maintenance or oversights, which can be solved easily without calling out an engineer.

This information can be found on the rating plate located on the right hand side of the dishwasher door Important! This product should be serviced by an authorised Service engineer and only genuine spare parts should be used. Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the machine yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunctioning. Contact your local Service Force Centre. Always insist on genuine spare parts. 22 Installation instructions Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person. Any plumbing work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified plumber or competent person. Remove all packaging before positioning the machine. If possible, position the machine next to a water tap and a drain. Levelling Good levelling is essential for correct closure and sealing of the door. When the appliance is correctly levelled, the door will not catch on the levelling spacers on either side of the cabinet. If the door does not close correctly, loosen or tighten the adjustable feet until the machine is perfectly level. Water supply connections This dishwasher must be plumbed into a cold or hot water supply (max. 60°). (See "Technical specifications" Instructions for use - Part 2). 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 time. 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. The dishwasher features fill and drain hoses which can be turned either to the left or the right to suit the installation. The locknut must be correctly fitted to avoid water leaks. CA17 CA16 Avoid bends or kinks in the hose which could prevent or slow down the water supply. If the machine is connected to new pipes or pipes which have not been used for a long time, you should run the water for a few minutes before connecting the inlet hose. This will prevent deposits of sand or rust clogging the inlet hose filter. A A CA02 CA03 Only for water fill hose with supplied filter! Be sure to incorporate the filter (A) onto the joint 23 Water outlet hose connection The end of the drain hose can be connected in the following ways: 3 Ø 18 min 30 cm max 100 cm max 100 cm Ø Attention! Our appliances are supplied with a security device to protect against the return of dirty water back into the machine. If the siphon of your sink has a "no return valve" incorporated this can prevent the correct draining of your dishwasher. We advise you therefore to remove it. 2 21 1 min 4 cm 1.
