Presenting your dishwasher Fig. 1

Please read the information in this instruction leaflet carefully. It gives all the information you need for safety, installation, use and guarantees for the appliance. We advise you to keep this leaflet and to pass it on to the new owner if you sell the machine.

Please be sure to comply with the informationbelow, so that we can fulfil our responsibilities :

- Dispose of the packaging in a suitable manner and comply with legal standards regarding protection of the environment.

- If there is any visible damage to the machine, do not connect it to the mains power supply, but contact your supplier.

- The machine must be located in a frost-free environment. In the event of frost, the hydraulic components may be damaged.

- The inlet and outlet pipes must be connected in accordance with the leaflet. Incorrect connections can lead to damage.

- In order to ensure good stability, flush-fitting machines must be installed under a continuous work top fixed to the adjoining cabinets.

- Do not climb or lean on the door of the dishwasher when it is open. The machine can overbalance or be damaged.

- The machine is designed as a dishwasher and must not be used for any other purpose.

- We advise you to only use dishwasher products and not solvents.

- You should store dishwasher products as well as other cleaning products out of the reach of children. These products have a corrosive effect on the mouth and pharynx if they are swallowed.

- Keep dishwasher products as well as other cleaning products out of reach of children. These products, if they are swallowed, have a corrosive effect in the mouth and pharynx.

- If the machine does not operate correctly for reasons other than those mentioned in this leaflet, disconnect the machine from the mains power supply (pull out the plug) or disconnect the fuse in the circuit concerned and contact our after-sales service.

- Broken machines should be taken to the closest recycling centre. Destroy the door closing system so it no longer works (children may close themselves in whilst playing and suffocate). Cut the electric cable after having removed the plug from the socket.

- You are strongly advised to disconnect the machine after use and turn off the water supply.

- Do not allow children to play with the machine or handle it.

- The water inside the machine is not drinkable.

- When the machine is running, do not open the door. This may provoke important steam leakage or splattering of water.

See page. 32 for the measurements for building this model in.

Fix the “anti-condensation” protection (delivered on the top of your machine) underneath your work surface.

To retain stability and correct alignment you should fix it underneath your work surface with the plate.

If your dishwasher is underneath a work surface with a hob, you must add thermal insulation to the top of the machine. You can obtain this thermal insulation kit from your dealer.

Built-in model Cladding the front

If you intend to clad the front of the machine to match your kitchen units, use the mounting template and fittings provided.

To balance the door, adjust the tension on the springs (see page 32). This is easier to do with the door closed.

Important: This machine functions equipped with a wooden panel.

Levelling : Adjusting the feet

Make sure that the machine is properly upright and stable. The four feet may be altered, adjust them if necessary using a wrench or a screwdriver. Badly adjusted feet may move the door off centre and make the machine unstable.

IMPORTANT: Do not connect the dishwasher to the power or water supply before completing installation.

If you are installing your dishwasher on carpet, adjust the feet so that you leave space for air to circulate underneath the machine.

Connection to the water supply (Fig. 2)

Unless otherwise indicated on the original pipe, never connect your dishwasher to a hot water supply.

Use the water supply pipe supplied with the machine. Do not forget to place the joint in the tap end of the pipe. The water pressure may vary from 1 to 10 bar. In the event of high pressure, it is advisable to fit a pressure regulator. Your Water Company will give you the necessary information.

Protection against water damage

Your machine is equipped with systems that protect you from flooding.

• The anti-overflow safety device. The system automatically activates the drain pump if the water level in the tub rises too high.
• Anti-leakage device. This system interrupts the water supply if a leak is detected underneath the machine.

If one of these mechanisms is started, contact the after-sales service to put it back into working order.

Evacuating waste water (Fig.3)

Connect the drain pipe

A With a ventilated siphon. The drain pipe should be free in the siphon and should be no deeper than 20 cm.

B The sink U-bend. Attention : do not forget to remove the siphon cover.

C Directly into the sink.

Be careful to fix the drain pipe down to avoid flooding.

In any case, the end of the pipe must be between 60 cm and 1 m high.

Avoid folding the pipe when installing.

Supply pipe length : 1,50 m

Connecting to the power supply

You should use an earthed plug to connect to the power supply. In case of a direct connection, the main switch terminal should be at least 3 mm apart.

Replacing the electric lead

WARNING: In the interests of safety, the electrical supply lead should ONLY be replaced by the manufacturer's after-sales staff or a similarly qualified person.

Your dishwasher should be fitted so that the plug is always accessible. Do not use an extension lead or multiple plug for connection to the electric socket.

* We cannot be held liable for any damage caused by the faulty earthing of the machine. In all cases, the connection must comply with the standards in force in the country concerned, together with the supplementary regulations of the Electricity Authority. The protection system and the model of the machine are marked on the plate on the inside of the door on the left. The machine must be switched off when the connection is made to the electrical circuit.

IMPORTANT for the dishwasher without plug.

The wires in this mains lead ar coloured in accordance the following code :

Green & Yellow Earth

Blue Neutral

Brown Live

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the terminal in your plug, proceed as follows; The wire which is coloured Green and Yellow must be connected to

the terminal which is marked with the letter «E» or by the earth symbol or coloured Green end Yellow.

The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter «N» or coloured Black.

The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter «L» or coloured Red.

Softening the water

Adjusting the water softener

The water softener should be properly adjusted to optimise salt consumption and for best washing results.

• Check the hardness of the water using the water-testing strip provided.
• Adjust the water softener following the instructions with the strip and using the table opposite.
• Consult your fitter for water that is more than 28^ (position 5)

If you move or your water supply changes, adjust the water hardness settings. Check with your local water company.

Filling the container with regenerating salt (fig. 5)

Filling with salt is essential for the regeneration of the resins that soften the water so removing the hardness from it, except if the water supply is already sufficiently soft. (see “Adjusting the water softener).

You should fill just before starting the programme.

1 - Unscrew and remove the salt container cap.
2 - Use a funnel to pour: fill the container with regenerating salt specially designed for dishwashers.
3 - The first time, fill up with water

Screw down the salt container cap again properly.

Important: If adjusting the water softener does not require the addition of regenerating salt (Wash light on), you should nevertheless fill the salt container with water before using.

Never pour detergent into the container, you will destroy the water softener

Only use “special dishwasher” regeneration salt. Do not use table salt, cooking salt, etc. These salts can contain insoluble elements and will cancel out the effect of the softener.

Identifying the regenerating salt level

A light on the control band tells you to add regenerating salt.

Rinsing product is necessary as it avoids stains on the dishes and makes drying easier.

IMPORTANT! Only use products intended for dishes and NOT detergents intended for hand washing!

Filling and adjusting the rinsing product container (Fig. 6 - 7)

Put the door in a horizontal position when filling the container and unscrew the cap in the door clockwise.

Fill to just below the to the adjusting lever.

If the product overflows during filling, remove the excess with a sponge to avoid foam forming.

If you experience stains or bad drying after several cycles, you may if necessary adjust the dosage using the selector:

Soft water : level 1 to reduce the dose

Hard water : level 3 to increase it.

Finding the level of the rinsing product.

A light on the control band shows you requirements in rinsing product when the door is ajar.

Adding the detergent

The washing product container has been placed in front of the upper basket to make the machine easier to fill. This means that you can load the washing powder without bending down or completely opening the door.

Use washing products specifically designed for dishwashers. See the manufacturers' recommendations on the packet as well as the advice for use below.

The distributor offers you a choice between using tablets or powder or liquid detergent.

Before starting the programme :

put the tablet in the upper compartment.

Put the tablet in the outside compartment. Using tablets is particularly recommended for the Eco programme and for full loads of dishes.

Or,

Pull the container to fill with washing powder or liquid and fill up to:

Minimum setting for slightly dirty dishes

Maximum setting for dirty dishes

Close the container

VERY IMPORTANT: keep all products out of the reach of children and away from humidity.

In order to obtain good cleaning results, be sure to remove any large food residues before switching on the machine. Any burnt or stuck-on residues must be removed beforehand.

The model dish-washer has two racks for 12 place-settings, or 162 items (figures 10-11-13B), to standard DIN 44990. Always point the inside of the crockery downwards. Ensure that no item conceals another and that nothing obstructs the spraying facility. After switching on, check that the spraying arms can move freely. No item should overlap the baskets.

Lower basket (Fig. 8 - 9 - 10)

Place the dishes so that water may circulate freely and spray all the utensils. (Avoid attaching and piling dishes up).

This basket is especially intended to hold: plates, cutlery, dishes, frying pans, saucepans.

Put large-sized plates and frying pans on the side.

Avoid mixing plates and soup dishes. You should preferably place same-sized plates together. Place soup dishes at the back, in the high pin area.

Make sure nothing obstructs the rotation of the lifting arm (saucepan handles, cutlery or large dishes).

The cutlery trays slide and can be put anywhere on the lower basket. You can adjust them according to the dishes you wash.

Removable grids are available if you wish to load cutlery in an orderly fashion.

For optimum washing, you can use these separation grids.

Cutlery : (Fig. 13-13B)

• Place handles downwards.
• Separate silverware from other metals using the separating grill.
• It is preferable to place small spoons in the separating grills.

Upper basket (Fig. 11 - 12)

This basket is particularly intended to hold glasses, cups, ramekins, small salad bowls, bowls, saucers etc...

Place glasses so that they do not touch and tip them sufficiently so that they do not retain any water. Place the hollow end of glasses, cups and bowls facing downwards. Arrange the dishes methodologically to gain space (rows of glass, cups, and bowls).

Use the height adjustable holding bar for large glasses or large-stemmed glasses.

The upper basket should be adjusted to the HIGH position when loading large plates in the lower basket. The setting can be execute basket in charge.

① Setting the HIGH POSITION Slowly lift the basket until you hear a click on each side.

②Setting the LOW POSITION Lift the basket completely on both sides (click) and then follow it downwards.

Make sure that the two runners are adjusted to the same level.

Objects not suitable

for your dishwasher

• Wooden chopping boards
• Pewter or copper objects
• Non-stainless steel objects
• Cutlery with wooden, horn or mother-of-pearl handles
• Antique or hand-painted crockery

When buying dishes or cutlery, check they are suitable for dishwashers.

IMPORTANT NOTE : For reasons of safety, we recommend you place sharp-ended table knives blade down in the cutlery basket.

Long-bladed cutlery and other sharp utensils should be placed flat in the upper basket.

Choice of programmes

Soak

This is a very short cycle that does not use detergent. It is used for rinsing crockery that is not to be actually washed for another day or so.

Normal wash 60 °C

Recommended for very dirty crocks with a large amount of dry or sticky food. Grease, sauces, burnt-on food, frying pans, gratin dishes. Everyday crockery and cooking utensils.

Eco wash 55 °C

Recommended for dirty crocks with a normal amount of dry or sticky food. Everyday crockery.

Rapid

Recommended for non-greasy, lightly soiled crockery that contains no fragile pieces. This programme reduces the washing temperature and changes the drying sequence.

For information (according to drying)

Duration Water Electricity

Normal wash 60°C 95 mn 18 l 1,65 kWh

Normal 90 mn 18 l 1,44 kWh

Soak 15 mn 5 l 0,10 kWh

The values correspond to normal conditions of use. They may vary with the load, the temperature, the hardness of water or the supply voltage.

• Open the door and load the dishwasher. Make sure the crockery does not obstruct the rotating arms.
• Pour washing powder into the distributor.
• Close the door. Turn the programming knob to the wash position.
• Select your programme and press one of the option buttons if desired.
  Warning : do not press more than one option (depending on model).
• Press the "Start" button. The programme

will start and the "Wash" light comes on.

Soak

Your dishwasher's consumption of water and energy are so low that you do not have to wait until you have completely filled it with crockery before running it.

However, if you only run it every two or three days, you can run an interim programme.

This is a very short cycle which rinses the crockery so that food traces do not dry on and become stubborn. To select this cycle, turn the programme knob to "Soak" and press the "Start" button.

One soak cycle will be enough, and the programmer will not let you run two of them in succession.

Stopping the programme

When the programme is over, the "Wash" light will go out. Turn the programme knob to "Stop".

Do the same if you want to interrupt the dishwasher during a cycle.

The indicator lights

Wash : This light comes on when the programme starts and goes off when the wash cycle is complete. Do not turn the machine off until this light has gone out. The light should be off when programming a new wash cycle.

The missing product indicator lights

go on when the machine is turned on.

salt : Lights up when salt is low. After you have added regenerating salt it may stay on until the salt has dissolved sufficiently. This happens generally after a cycle (or if you have not properly filled the machine – see page 27) for example when starting off with the sample.

Note : Where water is particularly soft regenerating salt is not needed but the light will remain on.

rincing product : Goes on, door ajar, when you should add rinsing product (see filling page 28).

Economical and ecological washing

Do not pre-wash your dishes by hand.

Use all the capacities of your dishwasher. It will wash economically and ecologically.

Always choose the programme best adapted to the stains and the type of dishes.

Avoid using too much detergent, regenerating salt and rinsing liquid. Observe the recommendations contained in this manual (pages 27, 28 and 29) as well as the product manufacturer's instructions.

Make sure that the water softener is properly adjusted. (see page 27)

Water pressure 1-10 bar

Water evacuation pipe height : 60-100 cm

Your dishwasher complies with the following European Directives 73/23/CEE (low voltage directive), 89/336/CEE (electromagnetic compatibility) modified by the directive 93/68/CEE.

GB

- Your dishwasher comes with a self-cleaning pulse filter that constantly filters small particles of dirt trapped in the washing bath.

The filter and the main filter cannot be dismantled as the cleaning arm constantly cleans them.

Regularly clean the waste trap (Fig. 14). Pull the handle, remove the residue with a brush and clean with tap water. Put back in to its housing making sure you clip it down properly.

Clean as necessary

• Underneath the filters, around the door and the door joint with a damp sponge to remove any deposit.
• Use only soap and water for the bodywork and control board.

Do not clean with abrasive powders, scouring pads, spirit-based products or solvent.

Use preferably a cloth or a sponge.

- If you have stainless steel door you may use products adapted for stainless steel. See the manufacturer's instructions for advice on their use.

Every year

To maintain your machine in perfect working order you should clean it once or twice a year. Run an intensive programme with the machine empty and a special dishwasher cleaning product available from any reputable dealer.

Prolonged period of non-use

Clean your machine completely then unplug the electricity supply and close the water tap. Keep the machine away from frost.
