Environmental protection Advice, tips and remarks

Please read your dishwasher's installation and operating manuals carefully so that your machine will provide full and complete satisfaction. These will enable you to discover all the advantages of this machine and put them to best use.

Description of your dishwasher

The above photograph of the machine with the lower basket removed shows you all the main components described in these operating instructions.

Your dishwasher is fitted with safety systems protecting you from flooding:

The ANTI-OVERFLOW SYSTEM. This system automatically activates the drain pump if the water in the tub reaches an abnormal level.

The ANTI-LEAK SYSTEM. This system cuts off the water supply if a leak is detected under the machine.

The ANTI-BURSTING HOSE. This reinforced water supply hose is fitted with a mechanism that cuts off the water supply directly at the tap if a water leak occurs.

Description of your dishwasher

The control strip in the top of the door can be seen when you open the door

What do 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
OR measure the water hardness at the tap using the "Aqua-test" testing strip supplied with your dishwasher and refer to the table below to find out the setting to select according to the water hardness.

Setting on the control panel

Testing strip	Water hardness	Salt required	Water softener setting
	0 - 10°F	NO	"Drenching" light permanently lit
	10 - 18°F	YES	"Drenching" light permanently lit
	18 - 25°F	YES	"Drenching" light permanently lit
	25 - 40°F	YES	"Intensive" light permanently lit
	40 - 55°F	YES	"Drenching" light flashing
	55 - 70°F	YES	"Intensive" light flashing
	> 70°F	YES	"Intensive" light flashing

While holding down the "ICS" button, press the "Start" button: the "Drenching" or "Intensive" programme light will illuminate -and either flash or be permanently lit - to show the water softener's setting in accordance with the above table.

To change the setting, hold down the "ICS" button and press the "Start" button.

When the machine is first switched on, the setting is 10 - 25^ ("Drenching" light permanently lit).

You must fill the salt reservoir with water when starting 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.

What do tbefoe using the machines for the first time

③ Filling the regenerating salt reservoir You must fill this just before starting your first wash.

Salt reservoir

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").

! Never put detergent in this reservoir: s 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 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.

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 dissolved 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.

If the water is especial

ly soft and does not require

the use of any regenerating salt, the SALT light remains lit.

STEP 2:

the rinsing agent

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,
- Setting 3 to increase the dose

STEP3:

the washing products for a clean wash

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 recommended for dishwasher use.

Tablets

Place the tablet in the external compartment.

Powder or liquid

Pull the container out to fill it with liquid detergent 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 products out of children's reach and away from any damp environments.

Only use the washing products specially designed 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 produce 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.

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.)

Anti-blocking size wire

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.

Arengingthedwashingape-vaisse

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 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.

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).

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.

Arengingthedwashingape-vaisse

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.

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.

Check that the slides are both at the same height and that the basket is level.

Selectingcia washing programmeelle

Press the "On / Off" button to switch the machine on.

Refer to the Programmes table on the following pages to determine the best programme for the amount of washing up and how dirty it is.

Running maintenance lave-vaiselle

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.

A - Two-part waste filters.

⑤ Carefully clean all the filters under running water.

To re-insert the filters Follow the above instructions in reverse.

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

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 Drenching programme.

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 hwasher

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 rinsing fluid. Follow the recommendations in these instructions (Pages 32 - 33 - 34) and the manufacturer's instructions on the pack. Ensure that the water softener is set correctly (see Page 32)

Advice: tarnomaby, rewhat toads?elle

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.
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.
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.
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 compen-sate for the lower wash-ing and drying tempera-tures by longer agitation and drying.	- Use these programmes preferably at night when the length and the finishing time are not important.

Adveeetaimoandmaby,ewhattoadselle

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 trig-ger 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 equip-ment 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 Drenching pro-gramme. If the fault persists, call an engi-ner.

Adveeetaimoandmaby,ewhattoadselle

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 (connec-ted with the temperatu-re 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 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.
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 tempera-ture.
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 without adding salt.
	- 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	- Turn the open ends (of glasses, bowls, etc.) towards the jets
	- Not enough or poor detergent	- Increase the amount of detergent
	- Programme with too low a temperature.	- Select a more suitable programme, with a higher temperature.
Run marks or dried droplets on the glasses	- Insufficient or no rinsing agent.	- Check the indicator light and fill the reservoir completely, set the dispenser to the upper position if necessary.
	- Poor or out-of-date rinsing agent..	- Replace with a recent agent (a good rising agent dilutes easily and foams in cold water).

Adveeetaimoandmaby,ewhattoadselle

Poor operation	Possible causes What to do
Traces of rust on stainless steel	- The quality of the stain-less steel (in knives in particular) is unsuitable for washing in a machine.	- Use special "dishwasher-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 rinsing agent. - 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).
