Before using your dishwasher

• Before using your dishwasher:

1. Set the water softener
2. Load salt into the water softener
3. Load the rack
4. Fill the compartment

NOTE : Please refer to the “Water Softener” chapter if you need to adjust the water softener.

Loading salt into the water softener

• Always use salt meant to be used in a dishwasher.
• The salt compartment is located underneath the bottom rack and must be filled following the below instructions:

WARNING :

• Only use salt specifically designed for dishwashers!
  Any other type of salt that is not specifically intended for use in a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water softener. In the event of damage caused by the use of unsuitable salt, the manufacturer declines any warranty and any liability for the damage caused.
• Wait until you are ready to start a wash cycle before filling the salt tank.

This will prevent any grains of salt or salt water that may have been spilt and left on the bottom of the machine for some time from causing corrosion.

• Follow the steps below to add regenerating salt:

1. Remove the bottom rack and unscrew the compartment cap.
2. Place the tip of the funnel (provided) into the hole and pour in about 1.5kg of regenerating salt.
3. Fill the salt compartment with water to the maximum limit. A small amount of water may spill out of the compartment, which is normal.
4. After filling the compartment, screw the cap back on tightly.

5. The salt indicator light will turn off once the compartment is filled with salt.

6. Immediately after filling the salt compartment, a wash programme must be started. If not, the filtration system, pump or other important parts of the machine may be damaged by the salt water. This is not covered by the warranty.

NOTE:

• The salt compartment should only be filled with the salt indicator light () turns on in the control panel. Depending on how easily the salt dissolves, the salt indicator light may remain on even though the compartment is full.
• CAUTION: Risk of corrosion and perforation of the tank or parts of the appliance
• If you spill any salt in the cavity during filling, please immediately rinse the spot where the salt is spilt or start a wash programme. Be especially careful when starting a programme with a delayed start.

Water softener

• The water softener must be adjusted manually, using the water hardness indicator.
• The water softener is designed to remove minerals and salts from the water that would have a harmful or undesirable effect on the operation of the appliance. The higher the mineral content of your water, the more calcareous it is.
• The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water in your area. Your local water authority can give you information on the hardness of the water in your area.

Setting the salt consumption

• This dishwasher is designed to allow the amount of salt used to be adjusted according to the hardness of the water. This helps to optimise and adapt the level of salt consumption.

• Please follow the steps below to set the salt consumption:

• Turn on the machine.

• Within 60 seconds of powering up the appliance, press the "Programmes" button for more than 5 seconds to enter the water softener setting mode.
• Press the "Programmes" button to select the correct setting for your local environment. The order in which the settings are displayed is as follows: H1 -> H2 -> H3 -> H4 -> H5 -> H6.
• Press the power button to exit the setting function.

Contact your local water company for information on the hardness of your water.

NOTE : Please refer to the chapter “Loading salt into the water softener”, if your dishwasher runs out of salt.

NOTE : If your model does not have a water softener, you can skip this section water softener.

• Water hardness varies from place to place. If hard water is used in the dishwasher, deposits will form on dishes and utensils. This appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses a salt compartment specifically designed to remove limescale and minerals from the water.

Preparing and loading dishes

• Consider buying utensils that are labelled "dishwasher safe".
• For delicate items, select a programme with the lowest possible temperature.
• To avoid damage, do not remove glasses and cutlery from the dishwasher immediately after the programme has finished.

Dishwasher safe cutlery/dishes

Not dishwasher safe:

• Cutlery with wooden, horn, porcelain or mother-of-pearl handles.
• Plastic items that are not heat resistant.
• Older cutlery with glued parts that do not withstand high temperatures.
• Glued dishes or cutlery.
• Items in pewter or copper.
• Crystal glasses.
• Steel items prone to rusting.
• Wooden platters.
• Items made from synthetic fibres.

Dishwasher safe to a limited extent:

• Some types of glass can become dull after many washes.
• Silver and aluminium objects tend to discolour during washing.
• Varnished patterns may fade if they are frequently machine washed.

Recommendations for loading the dishwasher

• Remove any large food scraps. Soften the remains of burnt food on cooking utensils.
• It is not necessary to rinse the dishes under running water.
• To optimise the performance of your dishwasher, follow these loading tips.

(The characteristics and appearance of the dish and cutlery racks may vary according to the model.)

Place items in the dishwasher as follows:

• Objects such as cups, glasses, cooking utensils, etc. should face downwards.
• Curved or recessed objects should be loaded at an angle so that the water can drain away.
• All utensils should be well stowed so that they do not tip over.
• All utensils should be placed so that the wash arms can rotate freely during the wash.
• Load hollow objects, such as cups, glasses, pans, etc. with the opening facing downwards, so that water cannot collect there.

• Dishes and cutlery should not be nested or overlapping.

• To avoid damage, glasses should not touch.

• The top rack is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishes, such as glasses and coffee and tea cups.
• Long-bladed knives stored vertically are a potential hazard!
• Long and/or sharp cutlery, such as carving knives, should be placed horizontally in the top rack.
• Do not overload your dishwasher. This is important for good results and reasonable energy consumption.

NOTE : Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher as they could easily fall out of the rack.

Unloading dishes

To avoid water dripping from the top rack onto the bottom rack, we recommend emptying the bottom rack first and then the top rack.

WARNING : Dishes will be hot! To avoid damage, wait about 15 minutes after the end of the programme before removing glasses and cutlery from the dishwasher.

Loading the top rack

• The top rack is designed to store more delicate and lighter dishes, such as glasses, saucers, coffee or tea cups, as well as plates, small bowls and shallow dishes (provided they are not too soiled).
• Position dishes and cooking utensils so that they cannot be moved by the water jet.

Loading the bottom rack

• We suggest that you place large items and hard-to-clean items in the lower basket: pots, pans, lids, serving dishes and salad bowls, as shown in the diagram below.

• It is best to place serving dishes and lids to the side of the dish racks to avoid blocking the rotation of the upper wash arm.

• The maximum recommended diameter for plates placed in front of the detergent compartment is 19cm , so as not to obstruct the opening.

Loading the cutlery compartment

• The cutlery must be placed in the cutlery compartment by separating them and positioning them in the correct direction.
• Make sure that the utensils are not nested, as this may affect the performance of your appliance.

WARNING : Do not allow cutlery to protrude from the bottom of the rack. Always place sharp utensils with the point downwards!

NOTE : For optimal washing, please load the racks according to the standard loading recommendations.

Functioning of rinse aid and detergent

• The rinse aid is released during the last rinse to prevent the water from forming droplets on your dishes, which can leave marks and stains.
• It also improves drying by allowing water to run off the dishes.
• Your dishwasher is designed to use liquid rinse agents.

WARNING : Always use a branded rinse aid for your dishwasher. Never fill the rinse aid compartment with any other substance (such as dishwasher cleaner or liquid detergent). This will damage your appliance.

When should the rinse aid compartment be refilled?

The frequency with which the rinse aid compartment should be filled depends on the frequency of dishwashing and the rinse aid setting used.

• The rinse aid indicator [··] lights up when a refill is required.
• Avoid overfilling the rinse aid compartment.

Fonctioning of detergent

• The chemical components of detergent are needed to remove the dirt, crush it and remove it from the dishwasher.
• Most commercial-grade detergents are suitable for this purpose.

WARNING : Correct use of detergent

• Only use detergents specifically designed for use in a dishwasher. Store your detergent in a cool, dry place.
• Only place powdered detergent in the compartment when you are ready to start the dishwasher.

Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Keep dishwasher detergent out of the reach of children.

Filling the rinse aid compartment

1. Remove the rinse aid compartment cover by lifting the tab.

1. Pour the rinse aid into the compartment, taking care not to overfill it.

1. Then close the compartment by lowering the cover.

Setting the rinse aid compartment

• To achieve optimum drying performance with the least amount of rinse aid, the dishwasher is designed to adjust consumption according to the user.

• Please follow the steps below.

• After closing the appliance door, switch on the appliance.

• Within 60 seconds of turning on the appliance, press the "Programmes" button for more than 5 seconds, then press the "Delayed Start" button to enter the setting mode; the rinse aid indicator will flash at a frequency of 1Hz .
• Press the "Programs" button to select the right setting as usual.

The order in which the settings are displayed is as follows: D1 -> D2 -> D3 -> D4 -> D5 -> D1. The higher the number, the more rinse aid the dishwasher will use.

1. Wait 5 seconds or press the power button to confirm the setting and exit the setting mode.

• Switch off the power to the dishwasher at the source.

• Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water supply hose from the water tap.
• Drain the water from the inlet pipe and tap. (use a bucket to collect the water).
• Reconnect the water supply hose to the tap.
• Remove the filter at the bottom of the tank and use a sponge to soak up the water in the settling tank.

After each wash

• After each wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance and leave the door ajar to prevent moisture and odours from

forming inside.

Disconnecting the plug

• Always remove the plug from the socket before cleaning or servicing.

Do not clean with solvents or abrasive substances.

• Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning agents to clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher. Use only a cloth with warm soapy water.
• To remove stains or dirt from the interior surface, use a cloth moistened with water and a little vinegar, or a cleaning product specially designed for dishwashers.

In case of prolonged disuse

• We recommend that you perform a no-load wash cycle, then disconnect the plug from the socket, turn off the water supply, and leave the appliance door ajar. This will help the door seals last longer and prevent odours from forming inside the appliance.

Moving the machine

• If you need to move the unit, try to keep it in an upright position. If necessary, you can lay it on its back.

Seals

• One of the factors contributing to the formation of odours in the dishwasher is the presence of food residue stuck in the seals. Regular cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this from happening.

Troubleshooting tips

Before calling a technician

Consulting the tables on the following pages may save you the trouble of calling a technician.

Problems	Possible causes	Solutions
The dishwasher does not start	A fuse has blown or the circuit breaker has tripped.	• Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. • Remove all other appliances using the same circuit as the dishwasher.
	The device is not turned on.	• Check that the dishwasher is switched on and that the door is closed. Make sure the power cord is properly connected to the wall socket.
	The water pressure is low.	• Check that the water supply is correctly connected and that the water tap is open.
	The dishwasher door is not closed properly.	• Be sure to close the door by engaging the latch.
The water in the dishwasher does not drain	The drain hose is clogged or kinked.	• Check the drain hose.
	The filter is clogged.	• Check the pre-filter.
	The kitchen sink drain is clogged.	• Check that the kitchen sink drains properly. • If it is the kitchen sink that is blocked, you will need a plumber rather than a dishwasher technician.

Problems	Possible causes	Solutions
Presence of foam in the tank	The detergent is unsuitable.	• Only use a specific dishwasher detergent to avoid foaming. If this happens, open the dishwasher and let the foam evaporate. Add 4 litres of cold water to the dishwasher tank. Close the dishwasher door, then select any cycle. The dishwasher will first drain the water. Open the door once the emptying phase is complete and check that the foam has disappeared.
		• Repeat if necessary.
	Rinse aid has been spilt.	• Always wipe up any spilt rinse aid immediately.
The inside of the tank is stained	A detergent containing dye may have been used.	• Make sure your detergent does not contain any dyes.
White film on the inner surface	Minerals present in hard water.	• To clean the inside of the appliance, use a damp sponge with dishwasher detergent and wear rubber gloves.
		• Never use cleaning agents other than dishwasher detergent to avoid the risk of foaming.
Rust stains on cutlery	The objects concerned are not resistant to corrosion.	· Avoid putting items that are not corrosion resistant in the dishwasher.
	You did not start a programme immediately after adding regenerating salt. Salt got into the wash cycle.	· Always run a no-load wash programme after adding salt.
		· Do not select the Turbo function (if available on your model) after adding regenerating salt.
	The cover of the water softener is loose.	· Check that the cover of the water softener is closed.
Impact noise from dishwasher	A washing arm is tapping against an object in a rack.	· Stop the programme and rearrange the objects in the way of the wash arm.
Clattering noise from the dishwasher	Dishes are moving in the dishwasher.	· Interrupt the programme and rearrange the dishes.
Impact noise from water pipes	This may be related to the installation on-site or the diameter of the pipes.	· This has no influence on the functionality of the dishwasher.
		· If in doubt, contact a qualified plumber.

Problems	Possible causes	Solutions
The dishes are not clean	The dishes were not loaded correctly.	·Please refer to the chapter “Preparing and loading dishes”.
	The programme was not powerful enough.	·Select a more intensive programme.
	Insufficient detergent has been released.	·Use more detergent, or change it.
	Objects are blocking the movement of the washing arms.	·Rearrange items so that the wash arms can rotate freely.
	The filter unit is not clean or has not been correctly inserted in the bottom of the tank. This can block the wash arm jets.	·Clean and/or insert the filter correctly. ·Clean the wash arm jets.
Glasses are cloudy	Use of a combination of soft water and too much detergent.	·Use less detergent if your water is soft and select a shorter cycle to wash glasses.
White spots appear on dishes and glasses	In areas with hard water, limescale deposits can occur.	·Add more detergent.
Black or grey marks on dishes	Aluminium utensils rubbed against the dishes.	·Use a slightly abrasive cleaner to remove these marks.
Detergent remains in the compartment	Dishes are blocking the detergent compartment.	·Load the dishes correctly.
Dishes do not dry	Incorrect loading.	·Load the dishwasher as described in this guide.
	The dishes were taken out too soon.	·Do not empty your dishwasher immediately after washing. ·Open the door halfway so that the steam can escape. ·Wait until the temperature inside has dropped and the dishes are not too hot to the touch before taking them out. ·Start by unloading the bottom rack to avoid dripping water onto clean dishes from the top rack.
	The wrong programme has been selected.	·With a short programme, the wash temperature is lower, which reduces washing performance. Choose a programme with a long wash time.
	Use of cutlery with poor quality coating.	·Water drainage is more difficult with these objects. ·This type of cutlery or crockery should not be put in the dishwasher.
