Présentation What to do before deusing votre thelave-vaisselle machine for the first time STEP 1:

Adjusting the water softener

For impeccable washing and drying results with no streaks. The water softener must be adjusted correctly to ensure no streaks after washing and drying. Your dishwasher is fitted with a water softening system that operates using regenerating salt. You must set the water softener according to the hardness of the water in your area.

➀ - Measuring the water hardness To do this: contact your local water supplier to find out the water hardness level and adjust on the machine as described below. ➁ - Settings on the control panel Water Salt Water softener Press the “SET” button hardness required setting to set the water softenNO 0 - 10°F Ca er: a long press to Ca 10 - 18°F YES access the “settings” Ca 18 - 25°F YES and 2 short presses for 25 - 40°F YES Ca the water softener. The YES Ca 40 - 55°F water softener’s setting Ca YES 55 - 70°F is then shown on the Dureté d’eau > 70 °F YES Ca display. • Press the Programmes button to change the setting • The setting is confirmed automatically after 10 seconds without having to press the Programmes button again. The display shows the water’s hardness in accordance with the above table. Ca on When the machine is first switched on, the setting is 10 - 25° ( the display). Testing strip

You must fill the salt reservoir with water before using the machine, even if the water softener setting selected does not require any regenerating salt. If you move house and take the dishwasher with you you will need to check the water hardness and adjust accordingly. For good wash results it is very important to set the dishwasher to the correct level of water hardness and to set the correct level of rinse aid (see page 36) 34

GB What to do before using the machine for the first time ③ Filling the regenerating salt reservoir You must fill this, with water just before starting your first wash then add the salt:

Filling with salt is essential to obtain a good wash with no streaks. The salt regenerates the resins, which soften the water by removing its limestone content unless the water is already sufficiently soft (see Never put detergent in this reservoir: “Adjusting the water softener”). this will ruin the water softener. - Unscrew the salt reservoir’s stopper and remove it. - Use the funnel to introduce the salt. - Fill the reservoir with regenerating salt specially designed for dishwashers. - On the first time, add water until it reaches the edge of the reservoir. - Screw the salt reservoir’s stop SEL back in fully. Do not use kitchen salt. Should any regenerating salt overflow when filling, we recommend that you remove the loose salt crystals to avoid oxidising the tub.

GB Only use the washing products specially designed for dishwasher use.

- For good wash results it is recommended to use individual detergent, salt and rinse aid products. - However “2 in 1” tablets (detergent and rinse aid) can be used, if so, you may need to adjust the rinse aid dial according to the wash results (see page 35) - Good wash results depend on getting the salt + rinse aid levels set correctly according to use level of water hardness (see pages 34-37).

The lower basket Lay the items out so that the water can circulate freely and spray all the utensils. Place the plates and the wide pots and pans at the sides. Do not intersperse or superimpose plates and dishes or place them side-by-side.

The fold-down spikes help you to arrange your large items (depending on the model).

No items should interfere with the rotation of the washing arms (pot handles, cutlery, etc.)

Removable lids are available if you wish to organise the loading of your cutlery. For optimum washing and drying, use these separation lids fully or partially. - Place your cutlery with the handles at the bottom. - Avoid washing cutlery with horn handles in your machine. - Separate silverware from cutlery in other metals using the separation grills.

The sliding cutlery baskets These can be arranged in any position in the lower basket. You can therefore arrange different loads according to the items you wish to wash.

Anti-blocking size wire

You can place a cutlery basket in the upper basket.

Unloading the dishwasher First of all empty the lower basket to avoid any drops of water falling onto it from the upper basket. Items unsuitable for dishwasher use - Wooden cutting boards - Oxidisable steel or non heat-resistant plastic utensils, - Pewter or copper items, - Glued items, - Cutlery with wooden, horn or mother-of-pearl handles, - Antique or hand-painted porcelain. When purchasing crockery, glassware, cutlery, etc., ensure that they are suitable for use in a dishwasher. 38

Loading the dishwasher

GB If your cutlery or your plates are too large, adjust the height of the upper basket (it is height-adjustable).

Important note: For safety reasons, we recommend that you arrange any knives with pointed ends point downwards in the cutlery baskets (to avoid accidents). Any long-bladed knives and other sharp kitchen utensils should be placed flat in the upper basket. GB

Présentation Loading the dishwasher de votre lave-vaisselle The upper basket This basket is designed in particular to take: glasses, cups, ramekins, small salad bowls, bowls, saucers, etc. Arrange the items methodically to save space (a row of glasses, cups, bowls, etc.).

Place glasses, cups and bowls facing downwards. You can also place cups, ladles, etc. on the foldaway brackets as well as in a cutlery basket. Arrange stemmed glasses along the wire shelf. The wire shelf enables you to load cutlery of any size, arranging it either in the lower or upper basket by removing the cup-holding shelves.

Depending on the model: when loading large plates into the lower basket, you may have to adjust the height of the upper basket. This can be done even when the basket is full.

① Adjusting to the HIGH POSITION: Gently lift the basket until you hear the first “Click” on both sides.

② Adjusting to the LOW POSITION: Lift the basket at the back on both sides (“Click”) and then gently lower it. Check that the slides are both at the same height and that the basket is level. 40

Présentation Running maintenance de votre lave-vaisselle Regularly proceed to clean (if required): All around the door and the door seal with a damp sponge to remove any deposits.

Only use soap and water on the casing and the control panel. Do not use abrasive powders, metal sponges, alcohol-based products or thinners. Use a soft cloth or a sponge.

Every year To ensure your machine’s longterm operation, clean it once or twice a year by running an Intensive programme with the machine empty, using a commercially available special dishwasher cleaning product. Prolonged stoppage Clean your dishwasher completely, then disconnect the power supply and close the water tap. Keep your machine away from the risk of frost.

If you are moving, to avoid any water leaking, first of all run a soak programme.

Protecting Présentation thedeenvironment votre lave-vaisselle Recycling the packaging Warning: Keep all the packaging materials out of children’s reach (e.g. plastic bags, polystyrene, etc.): these can be dangerous for children: risk of suffocation). Recovering and reprocessing packaging material saves on material and reduces the amount of waste. Take your packaging to the nearest recycling centre. Contact your town’s local authorities for details of its location.

Washing economically and ecologically DO not wash the items first by hand (unnecessary waste of water). Use your dishwasher’s capacity to the full. You will then wash economically and ecologically. Always select a washing programme suitable for the type of items and how dirty they are.

GB GB Recycling your old dishwasher If you wish to dispose of your old dishwasher, make it completely unusable. Break the door lock so that it cannot close (children can become locked in when playing inside the machine – risk of suffocation). Remove the electrical plug and cut off the power cable. Take your unusable machine to the nearest recycling centre. Contact your town’s local authorities for details of its location.

Do not overdose with detergent, regenerating salt or rinse aid. Follow the recommendations in these instructions (Pages 34 - 35 - 36) and the manufacturer’s instructions on the pack. Ensure that the water softener is set correctly (see Page 34)
