• Open the door to the dishwasher.
• Press the "on/off" button (9) to switch on the appliance.
  The indicator (8) will light up when the machine is switched on.
• Select the desired cycle (see page 10 “cycle selection table”).
  Press the programming button (2) repeatedly to select the required cycle. The indicator (1) corresponding to the selected cycle will light up.
• Close the door to the dishwasher. The dishwasher will automatically start running the selected cycle.

Delayed start

If you want the dishwasher to switch on at a later time, you can used the “delayed start” button (4). Each press on the button delays the start by 1 hour. You can read the delayed start time on the display. You can delay the start time by up to a maximum of 24 hours.

Selecting a half load

Press the “half load” button (8) to activate the half load cycle. The lower spray arm is switched off during the half load cycle. This means that you should only load the upper basket.

Stopping or changing a wash cycle

Open the door. Press and hold the programming button (2) for more than 3 seconds. You can now re-select the desired cycle (see page 10 "cycle selection table"). Now close the door.

Note! A cycle that has already begun can only be changed in the start-up phase. After this, the detergent will be sprayed all over the dishes or the machine may have already pumped out the water. In that instance, you must refill the detergent compartment (see section on Dishwasher detergent).

Following the end of the wash cycle

Once the wash cycle has completed, an audible signal will sound for eight seconds. Switch the appliance off using the on/off button.

Open the door to the dishwasher. Wait a few minutes before unloading the dishwasher. The dishes and cutlery will still be very hot immediately following the end of the cycle. There is a chance that dishes may break as a result of the heat. Moreover, the dishes dry better when allowed to stand for a few minutes.

Do not open the dishwasher door during use!

Flood protection switch

Your dishwasher is fitted with a safety switch that prevents too much water from running into the appliance. The safety switch closes the inlet valve and instructs the dishwasher to pump out the surplus water. If there is water in machine (due to too much water being fed in previously, or as a result of a leak), this must first be removed before the appliance is switched on again.

Warning!

Opening the door fully during the wash cycle is dangerous. You may be splashed with hot water from the machine.

Adding salt

Line drawing of a mechanical device with a handle and internal components (no text or symbols)

This machine is equipped with a water softener. To use the water softener, fill the dishwasher with salt.

1. Remove the bottom basket and then unscrew the cap from the reservoir.
2. Before filling the reservoir for the first time, pour in one litre of water.
3. Insert the funnel into the reservoir opening. Pour in approximately 1 kg of salt. It is normal for a little water to flow out of the opening when doing this. Note! Clear up any spilled salt and always run a full cycle immediately afterwards to prevent damage to the bottom.
4. Screw the cap back on firmly.

Note! Always fill the salt reservoir and adjust the water hardness setting before using the dishwasher. Refill the salt reservoir when the water softener indicator lights up. It is possible that the light will remain lit for a short while after the salt reservoir is filled. It will go out automatically when enough salt has been dissolved in the water.

Simple circular diagram with a central arrow and plus/minus symbols, no text or labels present.

Setting the salt consumption

• Unscrew the cap from the salt reservoir.
- In de opening of the reservoir, you will find a ring bearing an arrow. Turn the ring towards - or +, depending on the hardness of the water.

Adjust the salt consumption according to the table below:

WATER HARDNESS			setting	salt consumption (grams/cycle)	autonomy (cycles/1 kg)
degrees Clark	^ dH	mmol/l
0 - 10	0 - 8	0 - 1.4	no salt required	0	/
10 - 28	8 - 22	1.4 - 3.9	- position	20	50
28 - 56	22 - 45	3.9 - 8	central position	40	25
56 - 75	45 - 60	8 - 11	+ position	60	16

Your local water authority can inform you how hard your mains water is. Adjustments can then be made according to the above table.

Rinse agent reservoir

Rinse agent is added during the final rinse. Rinse agent prevents traces of water droplets being left behind on the clean dishes. Moreover, it ensures that the dishes dry quicker, since the water drains off more easily.

The dishwasher is designed for use with liquid rinse agent. The rinse agent reservoir is located on the inside of the door, alongside the detergent compartment.

Note: refill the rinse agent reservoir when the rinse aid indicator lights up. The reservoir has a capacity of approximately 100 ml. Do not overfill the rinse agent reservoir. This will cause the rinse agent reservoir to overflow. Rinse agent spillages must be cleaned up, otherwise they may lead to leakages as a result of extreme foaming.

Line drawing of a vintage digital camera with control panel and dial (no text or symbols)

• Unscrew the cap from the rinse agent reservoir (to the left, toward the arrow with “open”).
• Pour the rinse agent into the reservoir, taking care not to overfill it. The reservoir has a capacity of approximately 100 ml.
• Replace the cap. Make sure that the cap is lined up with the “open” arrow and turn in the direction of the “closed” arrow.

Setting the quantity of rinse agent

A fixed amount of rinse agent is added during the final rinse. As is the case with detergent, the amount of rinse agent needed is dependent on the hardness of the water in your area. Too much rinse agent can lead to streaks on the dishes.

5 4 3 2 6 1 +MAX

The rinse agent reservoir has 6 settings. To begin with, set the reservoir to setting 2. If this still causes spotting on the dishes, you can increase the amount of rinse agent added by turning the selector knob on the reservoir to setting 3. If there is still no improvement, turn the selector knob to a higher setting. Repeat this action until the dishes are streak-free when they emerge from the dishwasher.

Dishwasher detergents

The chemical agents in dishwasher detergents remove the dirt, break it down and ensure that it is drained out of the dishwasher. The dishwasher detergents you can buy in most shops are suitable for this purpose.

Warning!

Dishwasher detergent is a corrosive product. It should therefore be kept out of the reach of children. If swallowed, consult a doctor immediately and take the packaging with you.

Concentrated detergent

Based on their chemical composition, 2 different types of concentrated detergent can be distinguished:

• Conventional alkaline detergents with corrosive ingredients.
• Low-alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes.

Using concentrated detergent in combination with “normal” wash cycles produces less pollution and is good for your dishes: these wash cycles are specially tailored to the dirt-dissolving properties of the enzymes contained in concentrated detergent. This means that “normal” wash cycles with concentrated detergent achieve the same results as an intensive wash cycle.

Dishwasher tablets

Dishwasher tablets from different manufacturers dissolve at different rates. This means that, during short wash cycles, certain types of dishwasher tablet do not fully dissolve, as a result of which their cleaning action is reduced. Dishwasher tablets should therefore chiefly be used in combination with long wash cycles, so that the dish washer tablet has time to fully dissolve.

Detergent compartment

Fill the detergent compartment prior to starting a wash cycle. Your dishwasher uses less detergent and rinse agent than conventional dishwashers. Generally speaking, just one measuring spoon of detergent powder is needed for a normal wash cycle. Use more detergent if your dishes are more heavily soiled. Fill the soap compartment immediately prior to starting the cycle. Filling it prior to this may result in the detergent becoming damp and therefore not fully dissolving.

Note! The table on page 10 shows the amount of detergent required for the different cycles. These are averages. A different dosage may be necessary, depending on the hardness of the water and how soiled the dishes are.

Filling

1. Press the release catch if the lid is closed. The lid will spring open.
2. Fill the detergent compartment immediately prior to starting a wash cycle. Use only branded detergent in the dishwasher.

Technical diagram of a microwave oven with labeled parts and control panel

The markings in the detergent compartment indicate the dosage.

• Compartment for main wash cycle detergent (1), "MIN" is approximately equal to 20 grams of detergent.
• Compartment for prewash detergent (2), holds approximately 5 grams of prewash detergent.

Use only detergents that are specifically designed for dishwashers. Store the detergent in a cool and dry place. Only fill the detergent compartment with detergent when you are running a wash cycle immediately afterwards.

Loading the baskets

Using the upper basket

The upper basket is designed for fragile, light dishes, such as glasses, cups and saucers, plates, small bowls and shallow (not particularly dirty) pans.

Place the dishes in the basket in such a way as to ensure they cannot move when sprayed. The height of the upper basket can be adjusted by removing the basket and replacing it in a different position in the runners.

Adjusting the height of the upper basket

You can adjust the height of the upper basket and thus create more space for large objects in the upper or lower basket. You can adjust the height of the upper basket by pulling the handle on the side of the basket either up or down. Long objects such as serving spoons and knives must be placed in the rack to ensure they do not obstruct the spray arms. The rack can be folded up or removed when not in use.

High position

• Lift the handle up into the high position.
• Push the handle down into the low position.

The upper basket is equipped with 4 side racks (2 on each side).

These side racks can be placed in a high or low position. The side racks are fitted with clamps (2 on each side). The side racks can be adjusted by pulling on the clamps of the upper basket. Place the side racks in the desired position.

3D wireframe model of a mechanical assembly with no visible text or symbols

High position

The “high” position allows you to place tall glasses (place under side racks) and wine glasses in the basket. Hang the wine glasses upside down in the recesses in the side rack.

Low position

In the "low" position, cups, small bowls and glasses can be placed on the side racks. Take note of the height of the dishes!

Using the lower basket

We recommend that you place large objects that are the most difficult to clean in the lower basket: pots, pans, pan lids, casserole dishes and basins.

Casserole dishes and pan lids should preferably be placed at the side of the basket. This will ensure that they do not obstruct the spray arm when it is turning.

• Saucepans, serving dishes etc. must always be placed upside down in the basket.
• Deep bowls should be tilted, with the opening facing downwards to allow water to escape.
• The lower basket can be adjusted to allow for larger, or more, pots and pans.

Folding down the plate racks

You can fold down the rear plate rack to make it easier to fit pots and pans in the dishwasher.

Warning!

Take care to ensure that no objects are sticking through the bottom of the cutlery basket, as this will obstruct the spray arm.

Cutlery/crockery unsuitable for the dishwasher

• Cutlery with a wooden, porcelain or mother of pearl handle
• Plastic objects that are not heat-resistant
• Cutlery with glued elements that are not heat-resistant
• Glued cutlery or crockery
• Pewter or copper objects
• Lead crystal glassware
  • Steel objects that are prone to rust
• Wooden dishes
• Objects manufactured from synthetic fibres

Cutlery/crockery with limited suitability for use in the dishwasher

• Certain types of glass can become dull after undergoing a large number of wash cycles
  • Silver and aluminium may tarnish after use in the dishwasher
• Glazed patters may fade as a result of regular washing

Note! Do not place any objects soiled with cigarette ash, candle wax, varnish or paint in the dishwasher. When buying new kitchen utensils, ensure that they are suitable for the dishwasher.

Do not overload the dishwasher. There is only room for 12 standard settings. Do not place cooking utensils that are unsuitable for dishwashers inside. This is essential to ensure good washing results and a low energy consumption.

Placing cutlery and crockery in the dishwasher

Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, you must:

• Remove any large bits of leftover food.
• Leave caked and burnt on leftover food to soak for a while.

When inserting the dishes, take care to ensure that:

• The spray arm is not obstructed by the dishes.
• Hollow objects are placed with the opening facing downwards, to ensure that that cannot hold the water.

Plates and cutlery must not cover each other

• Glassware items must not touch, otherwise damage can occur.
• Place large objects that are difficult to clean in the lower basket.
• The upper basket is specially designed for lighter objects, such as glasses and coffee and tea cups.

Warning!

• Long knives standing upright in the cutlery basket can cause injury!
• Long and/or sharp items of cutlery, such as carving knives, should be laid (placed horizontally) in the upper basket.

Damage to glassware and other crockery

Potential causes:

• Type of glass or manufacturing process. Chemical composition of the dishwasher detergent.
  • Water temperature and duration of the wash cycle.

Proposed solution:

• Use glassware and porcelain crockery produced by manufacturers that state that it is suitable for dishwashers.
• Use a milder/less corrosive dishwasher detergent. If needed, ask detergent manufacturers for more information.
• Select a wash cycle with a lower temperature.
• Remove glassware and cutlery from the dishwasher as soon as possible after the cycle has finished, to prevent damage.

Filter system

Technical diagram of a mechanical assembly with labeled parts 1, 2, and 3

Depending on usage, the filters may require regular rinsing under a tap. The filter system consists of three components: the large filter, the coarse filter and the fine filter.

1. Large filter: Leftover food and waste that lands on this filter is rinsed through to the coarse filter by a special jet on the lower spray arm.
2. Coarse filter: Larger articles, such as leftover bones or pieces of glass that could block the drain, are trapped in the coarse filter. In order to remove the waste from the filter, you must lightly squeeze the lips on top of the filter together and then pull the filter upwards.
3. Fine filter: This filter prevents waste and leftover food from entering the drainage pump and ensures that said leftovers are not spread over the dishes again during the cycle.

Cleaning the spray arms

Technical line drawing of a mechanical assembly with no visible text or symbols

It is essential that you clean the spray arms on a regular basis. In the longer term, waste can block the nozzles and the bearings in the spray arms. Clean the spray arms as follows:

• Unscrew the nut so that you can remove the washer.
• Next remove the spray arm.
• Clean the spray arms in warm, soapy water, using a soft brush to clean the nozzles.
• Rinse the spray arms thoroughly before fixing back in place.

Cleaning the filters

Line drawing of a mechanical component with a central circular feature (no text or symbols)

Filter section

In order to ensure the dishwasher operates at maximum efficiency, the whole filter section must be cleaned.

The filter section efficiently removes food remnants from the water and ensures that the water is able to continue circulating throughout the wash cycle. It is therefore a good idea to remove larger food remnants from the filter section after each wash cycle, by cleaning the half-round filter and filter housing under running water.

• Remove the filter section by grasping the handle and pulling upwards. All components in the filter section must be cleaned at least once per month.
• Use a dishwashing brush to clean the coarse and fine filter. Put the filter section back together again according to the illustration opposite and then re-fit the whole filter section back into the tub of the dishwasher.

Never use the dishwasher without the filter section. Incorrect fitting of the filter section will result in the dishwasher no longer delivering maximum performance. Damage to cutlery and dishes is a further possible consequence.

Cleaning the door

Clean the edge of the door, including the sealing rubber, with a soft, damp cloth. Take care to ensure that water does not enter the door locking mechanism or electrical components. Spray-type cleaning products should not be used, nor aggressive cleaning products such as scourers. These cleaning products can damage the finish.
