Description of your dishwasher

PROGRAMMES BUTTON: Press this button to select your programme. DRYING OPTION: Press this button if you wish ideal additional drying. DISPLAY: Information and a view of the programme's progress. ON/OFF:Press this button to switch your dishwasher on. WASHING OPTION: Special Pot programme SET : this enables you to: - Delay the programme's finishing time - Access the settings: • For the current time • To cancel the "Salt" and "Rinse" symbols • To set the water softener. START/CANCEL: Pressing this button starts this programme. Holding the button pressed down for 2 seconds cancels the programme.

What to do before using the 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.

① - 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.

② - Settings on the control panel

Testing strip	Water hardness	Salt required	Water softener setting
	0 - 10°F	NO	c0 ca
	10 - 18°F	YES	c1 ca
	18 - 25°F	YES	c1 ca
	25 - 40°F	YES	c2 ca
	40 - 55°F	YES	c3 ca
	55 - 70°F	YES	c4 ca
Dureté d'eau > 70 °F		YES	c5 ca

• 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.

When the machine is first switched on, the setting is 10 - 25^ (c/c a on the display).

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)

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 "Adjusting the water softener").

Salt reservoir

the ! Never put deter- gent in this reservoir: this will ruin the water soft- tener.

• 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 back in fully.

Do not use kitchen salt.

EAU

Should any regenerating salt overflow when filling, we recommend that you remove the loose salt crystals id oxidising the tub.

See Page 46-48 : Ⓧ symbol indicating the level of regenerating salt:

After you have refilled the salt reservoir, this symbol may still flash until the salt has dissolved sufficiently, generally after one cycle (or if the reservoir has not been completely filled, for instance when putting the machine into operation using the sample).

If the water is especially soft and does not require the use of any regenerating salt, the SALT light remains lit.

What to do before using the machine for the first time

STEP 2:

Rinse aid

For brilliant and very dry results

① Filling

When putting the machine into operation, fill the container level with the top of the adjustment lever. Put in at least all the contents of the sample supplied.

Close the container tightly

Contents: 120 ml (approx. one glass)

Indicator:

Opaque: some product remaining

Brilliant: container empty

Should any regenerating salt overflow when filling, mop up the excess to avoid foam forming.

② Adjustment (if necessary)

The original setting is in the middle (Medium position: setting 2).

After a few cycles, if there are streaks or the drying is poor, you can adjust the setting using the adjustment lever:

• Setting 1 to reduce the dose, (soft water)
• Setting 3 to increase the dose (hard water)

Keep all these products out of children's reach and away from my damp environments.

Only use the washing products specially designed for dishwasher use.

VERY IMPORTANT:

• 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).

Loading the dishwasher

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.

Running maintenance

Cleaning the waste filters

The filtration system consists of several components:

A – The two-part waste filter

B – The main filter

C – The micro-filter

The filters are located in the middle of the tub and must be cleaned regularly to ensure optimum washing results.

① Before removing the filters, remove any waste from the main filter with a sponge to avoid the waste blocking the sprinkling arms.
② Unscrew the waste filter a quarter turn and remove it.
③ Remove the main filter

④ Remove the micro-filter.

Running maintenance

Regularly proceed to clean (if required):

All around the door and the door seal with a damp sponge to remove any deposits.

Every year

To ensure your machine's long-term 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.

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.

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

Protecting the environment

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.

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.

Washing economically and logically

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.

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)

Troubleshooting, what to do?

If you are in any doubt about the operation of your machine, before calling a qualified engineer, check the following points (depending on the symptoms noticed).

When first using the machine	Possible causes	What to do
Small door leak	- The machine is wobbly, not level- The door is not correctly centred on the tub- The seal's lip has been flattened during storage.	- Adjust the adjustable feet- Adjust the rear feet- Take off the door seal all around the door.
Small leak around or under the machine (move the machine to locate the leak better)	- Leak at the tap- Leak in the machine	- Check that the seal is present and re-tighten the nut- Close the water tap and call an engineer.
The door “catches” when you close it	- The machine or the door is not correctly centred on the tub	- Recentre the door by adjusting the rear feet.- Contact the installer
The door falls down heavily when you open it (integratable models)	- The door springs are not tensioned enough to compensate for the weight of the basket.	- Pull the machine out 10cm and tighten the 2 tensioning screws.- Contact the installer
The door is not level when open or goes back up too quickly (integratable machine)	- The door springs are over-tensioned.- No wooden panel	- Pull the machine out 10cm and tighten the 2 tensioning screws.- Fit a wooden panel to the door (a chipboard panel OK if on a temporary basis) and adjust the springs.- Contact the installer
The upper basket will not stay in the high position	- Poor handling (the basket has been pulled upwards too quickly).	- Move the basket gradually on one side and then the other (until you hear a “Click”) = -> see the Operating Instructions.
Programming, display anomalies	Possible causes	What to do
The cycle takes too long.	- The energy-saving programmes take longer because they compensate for the lower washing and drying temperatures by longer agitation and drying.	- Use these programmes preferably at night when the length and the finishing time are not important.

Troubleshooting, what to do?

Programming, display anomalies	Possible causes	What to do
The lights light up one after another	- Wrongly programmed.	- Cancel the current pro-gramme by holding down the “Start” button for 3 seconds and then reprogramme.
The Salt light does not go out	- No salt or too little salt in the reservoir to trigger the float.	- Fill the reservoir and wait until the cycle ends. If the water is soft enough not to require salt, the Salt light is permanently lit.
Poor operation	Possible causes	What to do
The machine cuts off	- Insufficient amperage to supply all the equipment being used at the same time.- Internal fault in the machine	- Check the plug's ampe-rage (10A minimum) and the meter's capacity- Call an engineer.
The machine will not start	- No power supply to the socket- The tap is closed- The water supply hose is kinked- Programme selection error and programme blocked- “Start” button held down too long (>2 seconds)- Safety system (anti-leak)	- Check the socket and the fuse- Check that the tap is open- Check that hose run- Cancel by pressing “Start” for 3 seconds and reprogramme- Press “Start” only briefly to start the programme- Call an engineer.
The machine does not drain.	- Protective cover on the sink's U bend not removed- Drainage hose kinked- Drain filter totally blocked- Pump blocked.	- Remove the protective cover- Check the hose runs cor-rectly behind the machine- Remove the filters and clean them and the drain hole- Start a soak pro-gramme. If the fault persists, call an engi-neer.

Troubleshooting, what to do?

Poor operation	Possible causes	What to do
A lot of residue left on the main filter at the end of the cycle.	- The drain hole and the filters are blocked by too much residue.	- Remove the filters and clean them and the drain hole. Remove any large amounts of residue from the plates before placing them in the dishwasher.
Steam appears approx. 20 minutes before the end of the cycle (model with ventilated drying).	- The steam from drying is in contact with a flow of cold air.	- A normal but infrequent occurrence only when drying starts (connected with the temperature of the room, draughts, etc.).
Poor washing results	Possible causes	What to do
Traces of food, deposits, “grains of sand” in the glasses.	- The washing up has been badly arranged (items masked by another, larger item or placed under it, items side by side or nesting together).- The upper agitator is blocked by cutlery, plates, etc.)- The filter is not screwed in tightly and is lifting during washing- The micro-filter’s sieve is clogged.	- Arrange the items correctly; use the most suitable areas and accessories for each type of item (see Operating Instructions).- Check that the agitator rotates freely (sizing wire), set the basket to the High position if necessary.- Check the seating and the tightness of the filter (screw it in fully to the right).- Remove and clean all the filters (with warm water), including the sieve.
Greasy marks.	- Too little detergent, poor detergent, stale detergent.- Unsuitable programme (temperature too low, not long enough).	- Increase the amount of detergent; try another detergent.- Select a programme with a higher temperature.

Troubleshooting, what to do?

Poor washing results	Possible causes	What to do
White marks(Identify the nature of the marks)	- Chalky film (can be removed with vinegar).	- Check that there is salt in the reservoir (light unlit = OK)- Check the water hardness at the tap and that the water softener is set correctly. Set it on a higher setting if necessary.- Water too hard for using a “3 in 1” detergent (not recommended)
	- Traces of salt(item ahs a salty taste)	- Check that the salt pot's stopper is firmly closed.
	- Opalisation of the glass because water too soft (cannot be removed).	- Check the water hardness at the tap and that the water softener is set correctly. Some detergent tablets are more aggressive to glasses and decorations (change the detergent, use a protective product if necessary).
Coloured marks (tea, wine, coffee, blood)	- Items poorly arranged- Not enough or poor detergent- Programme with too low a temperature.	- Turn the open ends (of glasses, bowls, etc.) towards the jets- Increase the amount of detergent- Select a more suitable programme, with a higher temperature.
Run marks or dried droplets on the glasses	- Insufficient or no rinse aid.- Poor or out-of-date rinse aid.	- Check the indicator light and fill the reservoir completely, set the dispenser to the upper position if necessary.- Replace with a recent agent (a good rinse aid dilutes easily and foams in cold water).

Troubleshooting, what to do?

Poor operation	Possible causes	What to do
Traces of rust on stainless steel	- The quality of the stainless steel (in knives in particular) is unsuitable for washing in a machine.	- Use special “dishwa-sher-safe” cutlery- Check that the salt pot's stopper is firmly closed.
Poor washing results	Possible causes	What to do
A lot of drops on the glasses	- Insufficient or no rinse aid.- The dose has not been distributed.- Position of the items.	- Check the indicator light and fill the reservoir completely.- If the reservoir is not empty after approximately 60 washes, call an engineer.- To relieve the problem, arrange the items so as to restrict as much as possible any water retention: if possible, leave the door ajar for a few minutes.
Drops on plastic glasses, Tefal coatings, etc.	- These insulating items have a low calorific mass.	- Arrange them optimally, prioritising the use of the upper basket if possible.
Drying is less good in rapid programmes.	- In the rapid programmes, the drying temperature and the drying time are reduced to restrict the length of the cycle to a minimum level.	- Select the most appropriate rapid programme.
Condensation on the walls of the inner door or the tub.	- Condensation may form on the walls, particularly after cooling down (sound insulation increases its occurrence).

Instructions for laboratory tests

Arrange the items as shown in Figures A - B - C (see following page)

in accordance with EN 50242 : standard: Eco Programme

and the Mixed method (IEC 436/DIN 44900) :

√ | Washing capacity 12 standardised
√ Detergent dose 30g of detergent B
√ | Detergent dispenser setting 3
√ Setting for the upper basket High position
√ Loaded in accordance with the instructions on the following page, with no side shelves.
√ The water softener MUST be set to a setting immediately higher than that recommended, depending on the water hardness, to take into account the lack of phosphate in standardised detergents.
√ For more information on the comparison tests in accordance with EN 50242 regarding the level of soiling, the type of items, etc., please contact the manufacturer of the machine before commencing testing.
