What to do before using the machine for the first time You must fill the salt reservoir with water when star- ting to use the machine, even if the water softener set- ting selected does not require any regenerating salt. If you move house, you will have to reset the water softener. STEP 1: Adjusting the water softener For impeccable washing and drying results with no streaks.

Measuring the water hardness To do this: contact your local water supplier to find out the water hardness level OR measure the water hardness at the tap using the Aqua-test test- ing strip supplied with your dishwasher and refer to the table below to find out the setting to select according to the water hardness. 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.

What to do before using the machine for the first time

Filling the regenerating salt reservoir You must fill this just before starting your first wash. Filling with salt is essential to obtain a good wash with no streaks. The salt regener- ates 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 Should any regenerating salt overflow when filling, we recommend that you remove the loose salt crystals to avoid oxidising the tub. Never put deter- gent in this reservoir: this will ruin the water sof- tener. - Unscrew the salt reservoirs 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 reservoirs stop back in fully. Indication of the level of regenerating salt SALT indicator light: This illuminates when you must add salt. After you have refilled the salt reservoir, the may still remain lit until the salt has dis- solved sufficiently, generally after one cycle (or if the reservoir has not been completely filled, for instance when putting the machine into operating using the sample. SEL Do not use kitchen salt. If the water is especial- ly soft and does not require the use of any regenerating salt, the SALT light remains lit.Présentation de votre lave-vaisselle

What to do before using the machine for the first time To help in loading the detergent, the washing product container is located on the front of the upper basket. The detergent container is compatible with every type of product rec- ommended for dishwasher use. VERY IMPORTANT : If you use combination washing products (2 or 3 products in one), please carefully read the instructions on the pack. - Some detergents with rinsing agents combined do not pro- duce optimum results in all programmes. - Products eliminating the use of regenerating salt can only be used within a certain water hardness range. - If you are in any doubt, and particularly in the event of: - Very wet washing up at the end of the programme, - Chalky marks on your washing up, please contact the manufacturer of your washing product. Tablets Place the tablet in the external compartment. Only use the washing products specially desi- gned for dishwasher use. Powder or liquid Pull the container out to fill it with liquid deter- gent or powder. Fill it up to the Minimum mark for lightly soiled items. Fill it up to the Maximum mark for dirty items. Close the container. Keep all these pro- ducts out of childrens reach and away from any damp environments. STEP 3: the washing products for a clean washPrésentation de votre lave-vaisselle

Arranging the washing up 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.) Unloading your washing up First of all empty the lower basket to avoid any drops of water falling onto it from the upper basket. Items unsuitable for washing in a machine - 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 washing in a machine. Anti-blocking size wirePrésentation de votre lave-vaisselle

Arranging the washing up Important note: For safety reasons, we recommend that you arrange any knives with pointed ends point downwards in the cutlery bas- kets (to avoid accidents). Any long-bladed knives and other sharp kitchen utensils should be placed flat in the upper basket. Cutlery Removable grills are available if you wish to organise the loading of your cutlery. For optimum washing and drying, use these separation grills fully or partially. - Place your cutlery with the handles at the bottom. - Avoid washing cutlery with horn han- dles 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. You can place a cutlery basket in the upper basket. If your cutlery or your plates are too large, adjust the height of the upper basket (it is height-adjustable).Présentation de votre lave-vaisselle

Arranging the washing up

Adjusting to the HIGH POSITION: Gently lift the basket until you hear the first Click on both sides. Adjusting to the LOW POSITION: Lift the basket at the back on both sides (Click) and then gently lower it. 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. Check that the slides are both at the same height and that the basket is level. Place glasses, cups and bowls facing downwards. 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.). 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 cut- lery of any size, arranging it either in the lower or upper basket by removing the cup-holding shelves.Présentation de votre lave-vaisselle

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 mid- dle of the tub and must be cleaned regularly to ensure opti- mum washing results.

A - Two-part waste filters.

Before removing the filters, remove any waste from the main filter with a spon- ge to avoid the waste blocking the sprinkling arms.

Unscrew the waste filter a quarter turn and remove it.

Remove the main filter

Remove the micro-filter. Important: Do not forget to lock the waste filter by turning it a quarter turn.

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 machines long- term operation, clean it once or twice a year by running an Intensive programme with the machine empty, using a commer- cially 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 Drenching pro- gramme.Présentation de votre lave-vaisselle

Protecting the environment Recycling the packaging Recovering and reprocessing packaging material saves on material and reduces the amount of waste. Take your packaging to the near- est recycling centre. Contact your towns 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 suffo- cation). Remove the electrical plug and cut off the power cable. Take your unusable machine to the nearest recycling centre. Contact your towns local authori- ties for details of its location.

Warning: Keep all the

packaging materials out of childrens reach (e.g. plastic bags, polystyre- ne, etc.): these can be dangerous for children: risk of suffocation). Washing economically and ecologically DO not wash the items first by hand (unnecessary waste of water). Use your dishwashers capacity to the full. You will then wash economically and ecological- ly. Always select a washing pro- gramme suitable for the type of items and how dirty they are. Do not overdose with detergent, regenerating salt or rinsing fluid. Follow the recommendations in these instructions (Pages 32 - 33 - 34) and the manufacturers instructions on the pack. Ensure that the water softener is set correctly (see Page 32)- Adjust the adjustable feet - Adjust the rear feet - Take off the door seal all around the door. - Check that the seal is pre- sent and re-tighten the nut - Close the water tap and call an engineer. - Recentre the door by adjusting the rear feet. - Pull the machine out 10cm and tighten the 2 tensioning screws. - 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. - Move the basket gradu- ally on one side and then the other (until you hear a Click) = -> see the Operating Instructions. - Use these programmes preferably at night when the length and the finishing time are not important. - The machine is wobbly, not level - The door is not correct- ly centred on the tub

The seals lip has been flattened during storage. - Leak at the tap - Leak in the machine - The machine or the door is not correctly centred on the tub - The door springs are not tensioned enough to compensate for the weight of the basket. - The door springs are over-tensioned. - No wooden panel - Poor handling (the bas- ket has been pulled upwards too quickly). - The energy-saving pro- grammes take longer because they compen- sate for the lower wash- ing and drying tempera- tures by longer agitation and drying. Small door leak Small leak around or under the machine (move the machine to locate the leak better) The door catches when you close it The door falls down heavily when you open it (integratable models) The door is not level when open or goes back up too quickly (integrat- able machine) The upper basket will not stay in the high position The cycle takes too long.

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. - A normal but infrequent occurrence only when drying starts (connec- ted with the temperatu- re of the room, draughts, etc.). - Arrange the items cor- rectly; use the most sui- table areas and acces- sories for each type of item (see Operating Instructions). - Check that the agitator rotates freely (sizing wire), set the basket to the High position if nec- essary. - Check the seating and the tightness of the fil- ter (screw it in fully to the right). - Remove and clean all the filters (with warm water), including the sieve.

Increase the amount of detergent; try another detergent. - Select a programme with a higher tempera- ture. A lot of residue left on the main filter at the end of the cycle. Steam appears approx. 20 minutes before the end of the cycle (model with ventilated drying). Traces of food, deposits, grains of sand in the glasses. Greasy marks. - lThe drain hole and the filters are blocked by too much residue. - The steam from drying is in contact with a flow of cold air. - 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-filters sieve is clogged.. - Too little detergent, poor detergent, stale detergent. - Unsuitable programme (temperature too low, not long enough).

Traces of rust on stainless steel A lot of drops on the glasses Drops on plastic glasses, Tefal coatings, etc. Drying is less good in rapid programmes. Condensation on the walls of the inner door or the tub. - The quality of the stain- less steel (in knives in particular) is unsuitable for washing in a machine. - Insufficient or no rinsing agent. - The dose has not been distributed. - Position of the items. - These insulating items have a low calorific mass.

In the rapid pro- grammes, the drying temperature and the drying time are reduced to restrict the length of the cycle to a minimum level.

Condensation may form on the walls, particular- ly after cooling down (sound insulation increases its occurren- ce). - Use special dishwa- sher-safe cutlery - Check that the salt pots stopper is firmly closed. - Check the indicator light and fill the reservoir completely. - If the reservoir is not empty after approxi- mately 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. - Arrange them optimally, prioritising the use of the upper basket if pos- sible. - Select the most appro- priate rapid programme.
