CAUTION: To prevent injuries, ensure that your hand is not jammed or crushed between the door and the appliance.

WARNING: While the appliance is running, if you open the door, all functions are automatically interrupted.

CAUTION: There is a chance of hot steam will come out from the unit when you open the door of your machine. Be aware of potential injuries.

Setting the Water Softener (SELECT MODELS)

  • The dishwasher needs soft water for good cleaning results. Hard water results in a build-up of calcium deposits on dishware and in the dishwasher. Your dishwasher has a special water softening system to remove the hardness of the tap water. Setting this system correctly will increase the washing effectiveness.
    Water supplies with a hardness level higher than 9^ (French Water Hardness) need to be softened.
    If the hardness level of the water that you use is above 9^ (French standard for water hardness) or if you are using well water, then it is recommended to use a filter and water purification devices.
  • The dishwasher is pre-programmed at the factory setting level 1 (inactive) of water hardness. If this setting corresponds to the hardness of your water, you do not need to do anything more.
    The dishwasher must be programmed for the water hardness in your area.
    To find out the hardness level of water in your area, contact your local Water Board or Determine the water hardness level with the help of the test strip provided.

WARNING: If you move to a different location, the level of water hardness will possibly be different. It is essential to set again the water hardness in order to obtain optimum washing efficiency.

Test Strip (For Models with Water Softener)

The washing effectiveness of your machine depends on the softness of the tap water. For this reason, your machine is equipped with a system that reduces the hardness of the main water supply. The washing effectiveness will increase when the system is correctly set. To find out the water hardness level of water in your area, contact your local water board or determine the water hardness level by using the test strip (if available). Follow the steps in the image when using the test strip.

Run water through the tap (1 min.)Keep the strip in the water (1sec)Shake the strip.Wait (1 min.)Set the hardness level of your machine.

  • If the salt indicator light comes on during a program, you need to wait until the end of the program to fill the salt reservoir with dishwasher salt.
    After the salt reservoir has been filled, the refill indicator may still be lit up if the salt concentration has not yet reached the correct level. It will go out when the correct concentration is reached.

NOTE: The salt refill indicator will be turned off if you have programmed the dishwasher for a water hardness below 9^ f.

Detergent Usage

WARNING: Use a detergent specifically designed for use in domestic dishwashers.

  • You can find powder, gel, and tablet detergents on the market that have been designed for household dishwashers.
  • Detergent should be put into the compartment prior to starting the machine. Add the proper detergent for the selected program to ensure the best performance. Use less detergent if the dishes are only lightly soiled. Using excess detergent can leave a film on dishes and in the dishwasher, resulting in poor wash performance. Do not use detergent tablets for shorter wash cycles. The tablet may not dissolve completely, causing detergent residue on dishes and inefficient cleaning.

NOTE: The amount of detergent needed depends on the cycle, load size, and soil level of the dishes. Too much detergent in soft water may cause glass corrosion and will not dissolve in water.

WARNING: Do not use too much detergent if your water supply is soft.
WARNING: Keep your detergents in cool, dry places and out of reach of children. See the detergent manufacturer's instructions for further information.
WARNING: Detergent tablets do not fully dissolve with short programs.

To prevent detergent residues on the tableware, we recommend that you use tablets with long programs.

WARNING: Do not use detergent in the Rinse cycle (select models). If you do not know the hardness of your water supply, use 15 ml/3 tsp detergent. Increase the amount of detergent if you see white water marks, especially on the surface of the glassware.

  • Should you need more information concerning the detergent you are using, contact the detergent's manufacturer directly.
  • Check that the detergent dispenser is empty after the completion of each wash program.

Filling The Detergent

NOTE: The dispenser should be refilled just before the start of each program.

  1. Push the latch to open the detergent container as shown in the image to the right (fig 1).
  2. Pour/put the detergent into the dispenser (fig 2).
  3. The detergent container has level lines inside. It is possible to measure the right detergent amount using these lines. The container can hold 40~cm^3 of detergent. Open the dishwasher detergent and pour it into the larger compartment, 25~cm^3 if your dishes are heavily soiled or 15 cm^3 if they are less soiled. You may have to add more detergent to your machine, depending on the degree of soil and on the water hardness level in your area.
  4. Close the flap of the dispenser.

WARNING: Follow instructions on the package of the detergent when using liquid dishwasher detergent, concentrated powder detergent, or tablet detergent.

WARNING: Amounts may vary if you use liquid or concentrated powder detergent. Tablet detergents should be placed in a detergent container.
WARNING: Deviations are possible depending on how dirty the dishes are and how hard the water is in your location.
WARNING: Use only the proper amount of detergent. Continued use of too much detergent may cause machine damage.

Using Combined Detergents

  • Detergents can also come in a combined format; they can be called "2-in-1" or "3-in-1" depending on the number of ingredients the manufacturer wishes to include.
  • 2 in1 detergents contain detergent + salt or rinse aid. While using the 2-in-1 detergent, it should be noted what the tablets contain inside.
    The other tablet detergents also have detergent ^+ rinse aid ^+ salt ^+ various extra functions.
    Combined detergents produce sufficient results under certain usage conditions only. Such detergents contain rinse aid and/or salt in preset amounts.

Points to consider when using this type of product:

Always make sure to check the specifications of the detergent you will use and if it is a combined detergent.
- Check if the detergent used is appropriate for the hardness of the water the machine uses.
- Observe the instructions listed on the detergent packaging.
If you are using tablet detergents, never put them into the interior section or the cutlery basket of the dishwasher. Always put the tablets into the detergent compartment.
- When the conditions of use of such products and the machine settings are appropriate, they ensure savings in salt and/or rinse aid consumption.
- Contact the detergent manufacturers if you are not obtaining good wash results (if your dishes stay calcareous and wet) after having used 2-in-1 or 3-in-1 detergents. The scope of warranty for your machine does not cover any complaints caused by using these types of detergents.

Recommended usage: If you want to obtain better results while using combined detergents, add salt and rinse aid into your machine and adjust the water hardness setting and the rinse aid setting to the lowest position.

CAUTION: The solubility of tablet detergents produced by different companies can vary depending on the temperature and time. Therefore, it is not recommended to use such detergents in short programs. It is more suitable to use powder detergents in such programs.

Warning: Should you encounter a problem that you have not encountered before, due to the use of this type of detergent, contact the detergent manufacturers directly.

When using combined detergents:

  • Fill the salt and rinse aid compartments.
  • Adjust the water hardness setting to the highest position and run an empty wash.
  • Adjust the water hardness level.
    Make the suitable rinse aid setting.

Water Temperature

Hot water is needed for the best dishwashing and drying results. Water entering the dishwasher should be at least 120^ (49^) to give satisfactory results.

To check the water temperature entering the dishwasher:

  • Turn on the hot water faucet nearest to the dishwasher for several minutes to clear cool water from the pipes.
  • Hold a candy or meat thermometer in the stream of water to check the temperature.
  • If the temperature is below 120^ (49^) , have a qualified technician raise the hot water heater thermostat setting.

Rinse-Aid Usage

Rinse-aid makes dishes sparkle and helps them to dry without spotting. Rinse-aid is required for stain-free utensils and clear glasses.

Use only rinse-aid for domestic dishwashers.
- Filling the rinse-aid reservoir with detergent will damage the reservoir. Only pour rinse-aid formulated for residential dishwashers into the reservoir.

NOTE: When the Rinse-Aid indicator lights up, the rinse-aid reservoir contains sufficient rinse aid for 2-3 programs only. When using "Tab" detergents rinse-aid is not needed.

Filling the Rinse-Aid and Setting

  1. To fill the rinse-aid compartment, open the rinse-aid compartment cap (Fig.A)
  2. Fill the compartment with rinse aid to the MAX level and then close the cap. Be careful not to overfill the rinse aid compartment and wipe up any spills.
  3. Close the cap until it clicks. Otherwise, water can enter the rinse aid reservoir during a program.
