testing your water hardness

The washing effectiveness of your machine depends on the softness of the tap water. For this reason, your machine is equipped with a system that reduces the hardness in mains water supply.

The washing effectiveness will increase when the system is correctly set. To find out the water hardness level of water in your area, contact your local water board or determine water hardness level by using the test strip (if available).

1. Open the testing strip.

2. Run your cold tap for a minute then fill a cup/glass with water.

3. Dip the testing strip into the water for 1 second.

4. Shake off the excess water and wait 1 minute for the result.

adding salt

If you live in a hard water area deposits may form on your dishes and utensils. Using salt softens the water and reduces the formation of deposits.

Please follow the steps below to fill the salt reservoir. The water hardness level will also need to be set.

1. Remove the lower basket and turn the reservoir cap anticlockwise.

2. Pour in approximately 1 kg of dishwasher salt.

3. Fill the reservoir with water until it overflows (first use only).

4. Clean any excess salt from around the reservoir opening and then screw the cap on again firmly.

5. Run the “Rinse” programme P1 immediately (without any crockery in the dishwasher) to remove any traces of salt from the compartment.

open

• The salt low warning indicator on the control panel will illuminate when the reservoir is running out of salt and requires refilling.

• Once refilled, the salt low warning indicator will cease to illuminate within a few days, depending on how quickly the salt dissolves.

• Do not use everyday table salt or cooking salt as they contain insoluble substances which could damage the dishwasher.

• Do not pour detergent into the salt container. This will damage the dishwasher.

unloading the dishwasher

Allowing dishes to cool down before unloading is important as dishes tend to break and chip more easily when they are hot.

Unload the lower basket first, followed by the cutlery basket and then the upper basket. This will prevent water drops from the upper basket from falling onto the dishes in the lower basket.

energy saving tips

• Eco programme is suitable to clean normally soiled tableware, for this use, it is the most efficient programme in terms of its combined energy and water consumption, and that it is used to assess compliance with the EU ecodesign legislation.

• Washing tableware in a household dishwasher usually consumes less energy and water in the use phase than hand dishwashing when the household dishwasher is used according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

• Short programs do not include drying.

• To assist drying, we recommend slightly opening the door after a cycle is complete.

• Use the half load option if you’re only washing a small amout of dishes, this will reduce the energy consumption and water usage.

• Always load the diswasher correctly. Loading the dishwasher incorrectly could result in poor wash results and more energy consumption (see the ‘loading the dishwasher’ section for correct loading procedure).

cleaning the dishwasher

external care

the door and the door seal

• Clean the door seals regularly with a soft damp cloth to remove food deposits.

• When the dishwasher is being loaded, food and drink residues may drip onto the sides of the dishwasher door. These surfaces are outside the wash cabinet and are not accessed by water from the spray arms. Any deposits should be wiped off before the door is closed.

the control panel

If cleaning is required, the control panel should be wiped with a soft damp cloth ONLY.

• To avoid penetration of water into the door lock and electrical components, do not use a spray cleaner of any kind.

• Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the outer surfaces because they may scratch the finish. Some paper towels may also scratch or leave marks on the surface.

33

internal care

filtering system

The filtering system in the base of the wash cabinet retains coarse debris from the washing cycle.

The collected coarse debris may cause the filters to clog. Check the condition of the filters regularly and clean them if necessary under running water.

Follow the steps below to clean the filters in the wash cabinet.

1. Ensure the dishwasher is switched off.

2. Turn the coarse filter anticlockwise and gently lift it out.

3. Gently lift the metal filter and pull out.

4. The centre of the filter can be removed by gently pulling it apart. Rinse all the filters under running water, including the filter cylinder, and then refit all filters in the reverse order.

5. Carefully refit the main filter.

6. Gently turn the coarse filter in clockwise direction until the arrows align and it clicks into place.

• Do not over tighten the filters.

• Put the filters back in sequence securely, otherwise coarse debris could get into the system and cause a blockage.

• NEVER use the dishwasher without the filters in place. Improper replacement of the filters may reduce the performance level of the appliance and damage dishes and utensils.

34


spray arms

Particles of food can get stuck in the spray arm jets and block them. They should be checked and cleaned regularly.

1. Ensure the dishwasher is switched off.

2. Check the holes in the upper and lower spray arms for clogging.

If there is any clogging, remove the spray arms and clean them under running water.

3. The lower spray arm can be removed by pulling it upwards, while the upper spray arm nut can be removed by turning the nut anticlockwise.

4. Be sure that the nut is perfectly tightened when refitting the upper spray arm.

disposal of the dishwasher

• When disposing of your old dishwasher, first make it unusable. Disconnect from the electricity and water suppliers, cut off the cable and the plug from the cable. Make the door lock inoperative, so that children cannot accidentally shut themselves in. Make appropriate arrangements for the disposal of the dishwasher.

• At the end of its working life, the product must not be disposed of as urban waste. It must be taken to a special local authority differentiated waste collection centre or to a dealer providing this service. Disposing of a household appliance separately avoids possible negative consequences for the environment and health deriving from an inappropriate disposal and enables the constituent materials to be recovered to obtain significant savings in energy and resources. As a reminder of the need to dispose of household appliances separately, the product is marked with a crossed-out wheeled dustbin.

• Please ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.
