Use of dishwasher salt Caution! Only use dishwashers salt. Types of salt that are not applicable for dishwashers cause damage to the water softener.

Fill the salt container with 1 litre of water (only the first operation).

It is normal that water overflows from the salt con- tainer when you fill it with salt. Make sure that there is no grain of salt outer of the salt compartment. Salt which stays on the tank for a while drills the tank. It is recommended to start a wash- ing programme immediately after you fill the salt con- tainer. This prevents of corrosion because of spilled salt. When you set electronically the water softener to level 1, the salt indicator light does not stay on. Use of rinse aid Caution! Only use branded rinse aid for dishwashers. Do these steps to fill the rinse aid dispenser:

25Caution! Do not fill the rinse aid dispenser with other products (e.g. dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent). There is a risk of damage to the appliance. Adjusting the dosage of rinse aid The rinse aid dial is set at the factory at position 4. To increase or decrease the dosage refer to 'What to do if...' Loading cutlery and dishes Helpful hints and tips Caution! Only use the appliance for household utensils that are applicable for dishwashers. Do not use the appliance to clean objects that can absorb water (sponges, household cloths, etc.).

• Before you load cutlery and dishes, do these steps: – Remove all food remainings and debris. – Make burnt, remaining food in pans soft.

• While you load cutlery and dishes, do these steps: – Load hollow items (e.g. cups, glasses and pans) with the opening down. – Make sure that water does not collect in the con- tainer or in a deep base. – Make sure that cutlery and dishes do not lie inside one another. – Make sure that cutlery and dishes do not cover other cutlery and dishes. – Make sure that glasses do not touch other glasses. – Put small objects in the cutlery basket.

• Plastic items and pans with non-stick coatings can keep water droplets. Plastic items do not dry as well as porcelain and steel items.

• Put light items in the upper basket. Make sure that the items do not move. Caution! Make sure that the spray arms can move freely before you start a washing programme. Warning! Always close the door after you load or unload the appliance. An open door can be dangerous.

Arrange service dishes and large lids around the edge of the lower basket.

The rows of prongs in the lower basket can be flat to load pots, pans and bowls.

Use the cutlery grid. If the dimensions of the cutlery prevent use of the cutlery grid, remove it.

Arrange the items to let water touch all surfaces.

For longer items fold the cup racks up. Prevent to put plates in the first three sections in the front part of the upper basket. Make sure the plates tilt forward. Adjustment of the height of the upper basket If you put large plates in the lower basket, first move the upper basket to the upper position. Maximum height of the dishes upper basket lower basket Upper position 20 cm 31 cm Maximum height of the dishes upper basket lower basket Lower position 24 cm 27 cm Do these steps to move the upper basket to the upper position:

1. Pull the basket out until it stops.

2. Carefully lift the two sides until the mechanism is

engaged and the basket is stable.

Do these steps to move the upper basket to the lower position:

1. Pull the basket out until it stops.

2. Carefully lift the two sides upwards.

3. Hold the mechanism and let it fall back down slowly.

• If the basket is in the upper position, do not put cups on the cup racks. Use of detergent Only use detergents (powder, liquid or tablet) that are applicable for dishwashers. Follow the data on the packaging:

• Dosage recommended by the manufacturer.

• Storage recommendations. Do not use more than the correct quantity of deter- gent to save an environment.

If you use a washing pro- gramme with prewash phase, put more detergent in the prewash detergent compartment (B).

Different brands of detergent dissolve in different times. Some detergent tablets do not have the best cleaning results during short washing programmes. Use long washing programmes when you use detergent tab- lets to fully remove the detergent. Multitab function The multitab function is for combi detergent tablets. These tablets contain agents such as detergent, rinse aid and dishwasher salt. Some types of tablets can contain other agents. Do a check if these tablets are applicable for the local water hardness. Refer to the instructions from the manufacturer. When you set the multitab function, it stays on until you deactivate it. The multitab function stops automatically the flow of rinse aid and salt. The rinse aid indicator light and salt indicator light are deactivated. The programme duration can increase if you use the mul- titab function.

For more detailed information about recycling of this product, please contact your local council, your household waste disposal service or the shop where you purchased the product. The packaging materials are environmentally friendly and can be recycled. The plastic components are identified by markings, e.g. >PE<, >PS<, etc. Discard the packaging materials in the applicable container at the community waste disposal facilities. 32Warning! To discard the appliance, follow the procedure:

• Pull the mains plug out of the socket.

• Cut off the mains cable and mains plug and discard them.

• Discard the door catch. This prevents the children to close themselves inside the appliance and endanger their lives. Installation Warning! Make sure that mains plug is disconnected from the mains socket during installation. Important! Obey the instructions in the enclosed template to:

• Build-in the appliance.

• Install the furniture panel.

• Connect to the water supply and drain. Install the appliance under a counter (kitchen worktop or sink). If a repair is necessary, the appliance must be easily ac- cessible for the engineer. Put the appliance adjacent to a water tap and a drain. For the venting of the dishwasher only water fill, water drain and power supply cable openings are necessary. The dishwasher has adjustable feet to allow the adjust- ment of the height. Make sure that the water inlet hose, the drain hose and the supply cable are not kinked or squashed, when you insert the machine. Attaching the appliance to the adjacent units Make sure that the counter below which you attach the appliance is a safe structure (adjacent kitchen units, cab- inets, wall). Adjusting the level of the appliance Make sure that the appliance is level to close and seal the door correctly. If the level of the appliance is correct, the door does not catch on the sides of the cabinet. If the door does not close correctly, loosen or tighten the adjustable feet until the appliance is level. Water connection Water inlet hose Connected the appliance to a hot (max. 60°) or cold water supply. If the hot water comes from alternative sources of energy that are more environmentally friendly (e.g. solar or pho- tovoltaic panels and aeolian), use a hot water supply to decrease energy consumption. Connect the inlet hose to a water tap with an external thread of 3/4”. Caution! Do not use connection hoses from an old appliance. The water pressure must be in the limits (refer to the chapter 'Technical data'). Make sure that the local water authority gives you the average mains pressure in your area. Make sure that there are no kinks in the water inlet hose and that the water inlet hose is not squashed or entangled. Turn the inlet hose to the left or the right to suit the in- stallation. Fit the locknut correctly to prevent water leaks. Caution! Do not connect the appliance to new pipes or pipes that are not used for a long time. Let the water run for some minutes, then connect the inlet hose. Water inlet hose with safety valve The water inlet hose is a double-walled and has an inner mains cable and a safety valve. The water inlet hose is under pressure only while the water is running. If there is a leak in the water inlet hose, the safety valve interrupts the running water. Warning! Danger- ous voltage Be careful when you connect the water inlet hose: 33• Do not put the water inlet hose or the safety valve in water.

• If the water inlet hose or the safety valve is damaged, immediately disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket.

• Only let the Service Force Centre replace the water inlet hose with safety valve. Drain hose

Connect the water drain hose to the sink spigot. max 85 cm min 40 cm max 400 cm
