Before using the appliance

The appliance should only be connected by a qualified fitter (see electrical connection).
- Do not use the appliance if it has been damaged during transport. Contact your dealer.
This appliance is designed for household use only.
Do not use the appliance if you have wet hands or if you are standing on bare feet.
- Keep packaging material, such as plastic bags, polystyrene and wood out of the reach of children.
- Keep detergents out of the reach of children. Keep children away from the appliance: it is not a toy.
- Disconnect the appliance before starting to clean or repair it, preferably, by taking the plug out of the socket or by turning off the mains switch.
- Do not use an extension cable.
- Never clean electrical appliances (mixer, food processor etc.) in the dishwasher.

• Do not place any plastic utensils on the heating element. Plastic objects could melt.
• Never use detergents containing phosphates or bleaches.
• Avoid limescale by regularly refilling the regenerative salts. Use only the special salt intended for dishwashers (do not use iodized salt).
• Never fill the rinse-aid-, detergent- or salt compartments with solvents such as benzine, turpentine or alcohol. This could cause an explosion.
  Regularly check that the sprinklers and the filter element are clean.
• Never use the dishwasher without the filters.
  Do not stand or sit on the open door of your dishwasher. The appliance may topple over.
• Do not touch the heating element, either during or immediately after the end of the washing programme.

Things to watch out for

Before you place kitchenware in the machine

• First remove food remains. You thereby avoid blockages.
  First soak any pots/pans that are very dirty.

Environmental tips

Save your dirty dishes up and only wash them when both baskets are completely full.
Always select the most suitable programme, depending on how dirty your dishes are.
Make no use, or as little use as possible, of the pre-rinse programme.
If possible, connect the machine to a hotwater plant with a maximum temperature of 60^ .

China ware

Not suitable:

All sorts of china ware with an onglaze decoration or edge which you can see and feel. Also consider the shape of the china ware. Bell-shaped cups break more easily than straight-sided cups. Under no circumstances should you put porous earthenware in your dishwasher.

Suitable: China ware fired at a temperature of 700/800 °C. Do not use too much rinse-aid in this case, to avoid any damage. Only white or single-colour

china ware which is fired at a temperature of 1200/1300 ^ C is completely dishwasher proof.

Glass

Not suitable:

Crystal or hand-blown glassware; glass on which the decoration has been burnt in; glassware with a gold edging.

Suitable:

All other glass.

Cutlery

Not suitable:

Cutlery with a wooden, earthenware or chinaware handle. There is a big risk of cracks. In fact, there is a big risk of cracks for all wooden objects washed in a dishwasher. Cutlery made of chromium steel is not very suitable for washing in the dishwasher. In the case of this cutlery, there is a risk of corrosion (rust).

Suitable

Cutlery made of chromium nickel steel 18/10. This high-quality cutlery is rustproof and acid-resistant. However, the blade of a knife may be made of a different material. Watch out for this. Silver or silver-plated cutlery is also dishwasher proof. But in this case the rinse-aid used must not contain any citric acid, since this damages the silver. Moreover, regular washing in the dishwasher may result in the silver becoming scratched.

Attention:

You will get longer-lasting pleasure from your cutlery and dishwasher if you follow these tips:

After using the cutlery - especially knives - rinse it under the tap. You hereby prevent it being damaged by food remains containing salt and acid.
Always place knives, forks and spoons in the dishwasher with the handle downwards.
- Do not put chromium nickel steel cutlery and chromium steel cutlery together in the dishwasher. Otherwise, you run the risk of rust contamination.
Take the cutlery out of the dishwasher immediately after the rinsing programme and dry it with a cloth. Never leave damp cutlery in the dishwasher.
- Never put silver and stainless steel cutlery in one basket together.
Silver cutlery should never be allowed to come into contact with aluminium, since this can damage the silver.
- Plastic pan handles can become dull.

Furthermore...

• Plastic objects must be heat-resistant.
  Aluminium pans, kitchenware and various types of glassware may become discoloured after being washed several times in the dishwasher. Certain sorts of decoration may lose their colour.
  Watch out for the indication 'Suitable for the dishwasher' in the case of glazed pottery.
  When you buy new tableware, look for forms which are suitable for the dishwasher: such as straight, smooth sides, large openings, cavities which are not too deep, dishwasher-proof decoration, cutlery and earthenware.

Salt, rinse-aid and detergent

fig.3

Topping-up the salt

Use only salt that is suitable for dishwashing machines for household use. If you make use of salt pellets, you must not fill the reservoir completely.

Under no circumstances should you make use of kitchen salt or industrial salt, since these contain non-soluble constituents which, over the course of time, can have a negative influence on the functioning of the water-softening device.

Add salt when the indicator light (fig. 2-D) on the display comes on.

Water softener

The dishwasher is equipped with an automatic water softener which, if used with salt which is suitable for dishwashing machines, extracts hard constituents from the water.

Hard water leaves behind white spots on the dry washing-up; moreover, the dishes and utensils will become dull in the course of time, losing their shine. The appliance can be adjusted in accordance with the degree of hardness of the tap water in your home and the related salt consumption.

At the time of leaving the factory, the machine is adjusted to an average degree of hardness.
After you have topped it up with salt, make care that you close the salt reservoir properly again. It is important that neither the detergent nor the washing water can flow over into the reservoir, since that could have a negative influence on the functioning of the regeneration device. The guarantee does not cover such a malfunction.

The salt reservoir is located at the bottom of the dishwashing machine. After having first removed the lower rack, unscrew the reservoir cap in an anti-clockwise direction, and pour in the salt, using the funnel (which is supplied with the dishwashing machine) (fig. 3).
- Remove any salt residue from the edge of the reservoir opening before you screw the cap closed again. The water-softener can contain approximately 1.7kg of salt.
During the first washing programme, also pour 1 litre of water into the reservoir, along with the salt.
The salt reservoir must always be filled immediately before a washing programme. In this way, the overflowing salt solution is always removed simultaneously by the washing-up water. The long-term presence of salt solutions can cause corrosion of the housing.

Adjustment of the water-softener

The dishwashing machine is equipped with a device which can be adjusted to the degree of hardness of the tap water. After having opened the door, you will find the device located in the interior on the right, and it can be adjusted with the aid of a coin (see fig. 4). This model can be set to one of five settings. Before adjusting the water-softener, please consult the table below and set the number of the chosen level (1,2,...) to the reference symbol.

Rinse-aid

Open the rinsing agent reservoir (see fig. 5) on the inside of the door, next to the detergent reservoir.

The means of operation will depend on the type of dishwasher: the containers all work on the basis of the same principle.

Unscrew the lid of the rinse-aid reservoir in an anti-clockwise direction.

Pour rinse-aid into the container and then close it again.

The container has a capacity of 140 cc.

Every now and again check the level of the rinse-aid.

The level gauge (A) is located to the upper left of the lid.

Reservoir empty: O

Reservoir full:

The correct quantity of rinse-aid per washing cycle is adjustable.

Turn the knob (B) in the container to the desired setting (C). The amount of rinse-aid is in proportion to the numbers on the knob.

• Increase the amount (choose a higher number):

Washed kitchenware is dull or flecked as a result of dried drops of water.

• Reduce the amount (choose a lower number):

Washed kitchenware is sticky or has whitish streaks.

Remark:

As standard, the rinse-aid reservoir is set to an average dose.

Detergent
1g.6a

In the door, next to the rinsing agent reservoir, there is also a reservoir for the detergent (see fig. 6a).

• Open the lid of the reservoir by pressing button (A).
  Fill the reservoir (B) with approx. 25 grams of detergent. Follow the detergent manufacturer's guidelines.
  If you select the 'intensive' programme, please take the following steps: Fill the reservoir (B) with approximately 20 grammes of detergent, and fill the prewash detergent reservoir (C) with approximately 10 grammes of detergent. Close the lid. Depending on the model concerned, the reservoir (C) may be on the top of the lid in the form of a recessed area (see fig. 6b).

Remark:

The container lid is opened automatically during the washing cycle in order to add the detergent to the water. If washing tablets are used - in a holder attached to the cutlery basket - the container should be closed.

Contact the Water Company to make enquiries about the hardness of the mains water.

Baskets

The dishwasher has a capacity of twelve covers. The lower rack is intended for washing-up which is extra dirty. The upper rack is intended for small and medium-sized washing-up, such as glasses, small plates, tea- and coffee cups and shallow dishes.

Adjustment of the height of the upper basket

The top basket can be placed at two different levels depending on the height of the dishes to be washed.

Pull the rack all the way forwards and turn the cover caps on the left and right outwards (see fig. 7). Remove the basket. Place the other set of wheels in the rails (see fig. 8). Push the rack back into the machine and replace the cover caps.

fig.7

fig.8

Upper basket in the high position

In this setting, the basket is suitable for small and medium kitchenware, such as glasses, small plates, cups, basins and light plastic objects which are heat-resistant.

Upper basket in the low position

In this setting, the basket is suitable for large plates (which are not too dirty).

Loading the top basket

• Stack the plates with the top side facing forwards.
• Stack cups and bowls or dishes with the opening down.
  On the left-hand side of the basket - at two levels - you can place cups and glasses. You can flip the upper draining racks upwards.

Loading the lower basket

• Like the upper basket, the lower basket can be completely pulled out by first fully opening the door.
  Place soup, flat and dessert plates, pans, lids and saucers in the lower basket.
  Place plates with their top side facing forwards, or towards the middle. Make sure that there is always space remaining between the plates, so that the water can flow freely over them.
• Place bowls and pans with the opening down.

Cutlery container

The cutlery container is suitable for all types of cutlery.
In the cutlery container, place the knives, forks and spoons with their handles downwards. Always check whether or not the spray arms can rotate freely.
