Note! A cycle that has already begun can only be changed in the start-up phase. After this, the detergent will be sprayed all over the dishes or the machine may have already pumped out the water. In that instance, you must refill the detergent compartment (see section on Dishwasher detergent).

Warning!

Opening the door fully during the wash cycle is dangerous. You may be splashed with hot water from the machine.

Following the end of the wash cycle

After the washing program has finished, the ‘End program’ indicator flashes and an alarm signal sounds 5 times. Open the door of the dishwasher. Switch off the device with the on/off button. Wait a few minutes before unloading the dishwasher. The dishes and cutlery will still be very hot immediately following the end of the cycle. There is a chance that dishes may break as a result of the heat. Moreover, the dishes dry better when allowed to stand for a few minutes.

Flood protection switch

Your dishwasher is fitted with a safety switch that prevents too much water from running into the appliance. The safety switch closes the inlet valve and instructs the dishwasher to pump out the surplus water. If there is water in machine (due to too much water being fed in previously, or as a result of a leak), this must first be removed before the appliance is switched on again.

This machine is equipped with a water softener. To use the water softener, fill the dishwasher with salt.

• After first having removed the lower basket, loosen the cap of the reservoir (1 and 2).
• Prior to filling up the reservoir for the first time, pour one litre of water in it.
• Place the funnel in the reservoir opening. Pour about 2 kg of salt in it. It is normal for a little water to flow out of the opening when doing this. Note! Clear up any spilled salt and always run a full cycle immediately afterwards to prevent damage to the bottom.
• Carefully tighten the cap of the reservoir.

Note! Always fill the salt reservoir and adjust the water hardness setting before using the dishwasher. Refill the salt reservoir when the water softener indicator lights up. It is possible that the light will remain lit for a short while after the salt reservoir is filled. It will go out automatically when enough salt has been dissolved in the water.

Setting the salt consumption

Adjust the salt consumption according to the table below:

Water hardness level	German hardness dH	French hardness dF	English hardness dE	Indicator
1 0-5	0-9 0-6 L1 appears on the display
2 6-11	10-20 7-14 L2 appears on the display

Dishwasher detergents

The chemicals in dishwashing detergents remove the dirt, break it down and make sure that the dirt is drained from the dishwasher. Most dishwashing detergents available in the store are suitable for this purpose.

Warning!

Dishwasher detergent is a corrosive product. It should therefore be kept out of the reach of children. If swallowed, consult a doctor immediately and take the packaging with you.

Concentrated detergent

Based on their chemical composition, 2 different types of concentrated detergent can be distinguished:

• Conventional alkaline detergents with corrosive ingredients.
• Low-alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes.

The use of concentrated dishwashing detergent in combination with “normal” washing programs produces less contamination and is good for your dishes: these washing programs are specifically intended for dirt-dissolving characteristics of the enzymes in concentrated dishwashing detergents. This means that “normal” wash cycles with concentrated detergent achieve the same results as an intensive wash cycle.

Dishwasher tablets

Dishwasher tablets from different manufacturers dissolve at different rates. This means that, during short wash cycles, certain types of dishwasher tablet do not fully dissolve, as a result of which their cleaning action is reduced. Dishwasher tablets should therefore chiefly be used in combination with long wash cycles, so that the dish washer tablet has time to fully dissolve.

When you switch from dishwashing tablets to a traditional dishwashing detergent, you have to make sure that the salt container and the rinse agent reservoir are filled.

Detergent compartment

Your dishwasher uses less detergent and rinse agent than conventional dishwashers. Generally speaking, just one measuring spoon of detergent powder is needed for a normal wash cycle. Use more detergent if your dishes are more heavily soiled. Fill the soap compartment immediately prior to starting the cycle. Filling it prior to this may result in the detergent becoming damp and therefore not fully dissolving.

Note! The table on page 10 shows the amount of detergent required for the different cycles. These are averages. A different dosage may be necessary, depending on the hardness of the water and how soiled the dishes are.

Filling

1. Press the release catch if the lid is closed.
   The lid will slide open.
2. Fill the detergent compartment immediately prior to starting a wash cycle.

The markings in the detergent compartment indicate the dosage.

- The container has a capacity of maximum 45 gr.

Fill up the container with 25 gr. of the detergent for very dirty dishes and 15 gr. for normal dishes.

Use only detergents that are specifically designed for dishwashers. Store the detergent in a cool and dry place. Only fill the detergent compartment with detergent when you are running a wash cycle immediately afterwards.

Loading the baskets

Grid of circular objects arranged in rows, possibly industrial equipment or storage units (no visible text or symbols)

Using the upper basket

The upper basket is designed for fragile, light dishes, such as glasses, cups and saucers, plates, small bowls and shallow (not particularly dirty) pans.

Place the dishes in the basket in such a way as to ensure they cannot move when sprayed. The height of the upper basket can be adjusted.

Using the lower basket

We advise you to place large objects that are hardest to clean in the lower basket: pots, pans, pan lids, oven dishes and bowls. Casserole dishes and pan lids should preferably be placed at the side of the basket. This will ensure that they do not obstruct the spray arm when it is turning.

Illustration of a basket containing four cooking utensils (cups, panes, kitchenware) with no visible text or symbols.

• Saucepans, serving dishes etc. must always be placed upside down in the basket.
• Deep bowls should be tilted, with the opening facing downwards to allow water to escape.
• The lower basket can be adjusted to allow for larger, or more, pots and pans.

LOADING

Folding Racks

Folding racks consisting of two parts that are located on the lower basket of your machine are designed in order to let you place big items easier such as pots, pans, etc. If requested, each part can be folded separately, or all of them can be folded and larger spaces can be obtained.

Cutlery basket

The cutlery basket is used in the bottom basket. Cutlery should be placed in the cutlery basket with the handles pointing down. Long kitchen utensils such as wooden spoons have to be in a position lying down (horizontal) on the middle rack in the top basket.

Warning!

Take care to ensure that no objects are sticking through the bottom of the cutlery basket, as this will obstruct the spray arm.

Cutlery/crockery unsuitable for the dishwasher

• Cutlery with a wooden, porcelain or mother of pearl handle
• Plastic objects that are not heat-resistant
• Cutlery with glued elements that are not heat-resistant
• Glued cutlery or crockery
• Pewter or copper objects
• Lead crystal glassware
  • Steel objects that are prone to rust
• Wooden dishes
• Objects manufactured from synthetic fibres

Cutlery/crockery with limited suitability for use in the dishwasher

• Certain types of glass can become dull after undergoing a large number of wash cycles
  • Silver and aluminium may tarnish after use in the dishwasher
• Glazed patters may fade as a result of regular washing

Note! Do not place any objects soiled with cigarette ash, candle wax, varnish or paint in the dishwasher. When buying new kitchen utensils, ensure that they are suitable for the dishwasher.

Do not overload the dishwasher. There is only room for 12 standard settings. Do not place cooking utensils that are unsuitable for dishwashers inside. This is essential to ensure good washing results and a low energy consumption.

Placing cutlery and crockery in the dishwasher

Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, you must:

• Remove any large bits of leftover food.
• Leave caked and burnt on leftover food to soak for a while.

When inserting the dishes, take care to ensure that:

• The spray arm is not obstructed by the dishes.
• Hollow objects are placed with the opening facing downwards, to ensure that that cannot hold the water.

Plates and cutlery must not cover each other

• Glassware items must not touch, otherwise damage can occur.
• Place large objects that are difficult to clean in the lower basket.
• The upper basket is specially designed for lighter objects, such as glasses and coffee and tea cups.

Warning!

• Long knives standing upright in the cutlery basket can cause injury!
• Long and/or sharp items of cutlery, such as carving knives, should be laid (placed horizontally) in the upper basket.

Damage to glassware and other crockery

Potential causes:

• Type of glass or manufacturing process. Chemical composition of the dishwasher detergent.
  • Water temperature and duration of the wash cycle.

Proposed solution:

• Use glassware and porcelain crockery produced by manufacturers that state that it is suitable for dishwashers.
• Use a milder/less corrosive dishwasher detergent. If needed, ask detergent manufacturers for more information.
• Select a wash cycle with a lower temperature.
• Remove glassware and cutlery from the dishwasher as soon as possible after the cycle has finished, to prevent damage.

Filter system

Diagram of a device with directional arrows indicating movement or flow, no readable text or symbols present.

Depending on usage, the filters may require regular rinsing under a tap. The filtration system consists of three components: the large filter, the coarse filter and the fine filter.

a. Fine filter: This filter holds off dirt and food remains from the drainage pump and makes sure that these remains are not spread in the dishes again during the program.
b. Coarse filter: Larger parts such as bone remains or pieces of glass that could clog the drain are caught in the coarse filter. In order to remove the waste from the filter, you must lightly squeeze the lips on top of the filter together and then pull the filter upwards.
c. Large filter: Food remains and dirt that end up on this filter are rinsed to the coarse filter by means of the lower spray arm.

Clean the filter group

In order to ensure the dishwasher operates at maximum efficiency, the whole filter section must be cleaned.

The filter group efficiently removes food remains from the water and makes sure that the washing water can continue circulating during the washing program. It is therefore a good idea to remove larger food remnants from the filter section after each wash cycle, by cleaning the half-round filter and filter housing under running water.

• Remove the filter section by grasping the handle and pulling upwards. All components in the filter section must be cleaned at least once per month.
• Use a dishwashing brush to clean the coarse and fine filter. Put the filter section back together again according to the illustration opposite and then re-fit the whole filter section back into the tub of the dishwasher.

Never use the dishwasher without the filter section. Incorrect fitting of the filter section will result in the dishwasher no longer delivering maximum performance. Damage to cutlery and dishes is a further possible consequence.

Cleaning the spray arms

Diagram showing airflow or particle movement between two surfaces, with arrows indicating direction (no text or symbols)

It is essential that you clean the spray arms on a regular basis. In the longer term, waste can block the nozzles and the bearings in the spray arms. Clean the spray arms as follows:

• Turn the nut of the upper spray arm to the left to remove the arm.
• Next remove the spray arm.
• Pull the lower spray arm upward out of the retainer.
• Clean the spray arms in warm, soapy water, using a soft brush to clean the nozzles.
• Rinse the spray arms thoroughly before fixing back in place.

Cleaning the door

Clean the edge of the door, including the sealing rubber, with a soft, damp cloth. Take care to ensure that water does not enter the door locking mechanism or electrical components. Spray-type cleaning products should not be used, nor aggressive cleaning products such as scourers. These cleaning products can damage the finish.
