What does the Beam-on-Floor light indicate?

A red light indicates the programme is running. A green light indicates the programme is completed. A flashing red light signals a malfunction.

How do I clean the filters?

Turn the filter (B) counterclockwise to remove it, then take out filter (C) from (B) and remove flat filter (A). Wash all parts under running water. Reassemble in reverse order, ensuring flat filter is under the two guides.

How do I adjust the water softener level?

Enter user mode by pressing and holding ∧ and √ simultaneously until indicators flash. Press the Program button to set the level (e.g., S = level 5). Press on/off to confirm.

What should I do if an alarm code appears?

1) This programme offers the most efficient use of water and energy consumption for crockery and cutlery with normal soil. This is the standard programme for test institutes.
2) The appliance senses the degree of soil and the quantity of items in the baskets. It automatically adjusts the temperature and quantity of water as well as the wash duration.
3) This programme is designed to wash heavily soiled items with high water pressure and at a high temperature.
4) This programme controls the temperature of the water to provide special care for delicate items, glassware in particular.
5) This programme is suitable for washing a load or a half load with fresh or light soil in a short time.
6) This is the most silent programme. The wash pump works at a very low speed to reduce the noise generated by the appliance. Due to the low speed, the programme duration is long.

6. SETTINGS

6.1 Programme selection mode and user mode

When the appliance is in programme selection mode it is possible to set a programme and to enter user mode.

Settings available in the user mode:

• The level of water softener according to the water hardness.
• Activation or deactivation of the rinse aid empty notification.
• The level of rinse aid according to the required dosage.
• Activation or deactivation of the acoustic signal for the end of a programme.
• Activation or deactivation of AirDry.

As the appliance stores the saved settings, there is no need to configure it before every cycle.

6.2 The water softener

The water softener removes minerals from the water supply, which would have a negative effect on the washing results and on the appliance.

The higher the content of these minerals, the harder your water is. Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales.

The water softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water in your area. Your local water authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area. It is important to set the right level of the water softener to assure good washing results.

10. HINTS AND TIPS

10.1 General

Follow the hints below to ensure optimal cleaning and drying results in daily use and to help you protect the environment.

• Remove larger residues of food from the dishes into the waste bin.
• Do not pre-rinse dishes by hand. When needed, select a programme with a prewash phase.
  • Always use the whole space of the baskets.
• Make sure that items in the baskets do not touch or cover each other. Only then can the water completely reach and wash the dishes.
• You can use dishwasher detergent, rinse aid and salt separately or you can use the multi-tablets (e.g. "All in 1"). Follow the instructions on the packaging.

All buttons are inactive except for the on/off button.

1. Press the on/off button or wait for the Auto Off function to automatically deactivate the appliance. If you open the door before the activation of Auto Off, the appliance is automatically deactivated.
2. Close the water tap.

The Auto Off function

This function decreases energy consumption by deactivating automatically the appliance when it is not operating.

The function comes into operation:

• 5 minutes after the completion of the programme.
  • After 5 minutes if the programme has not started.

• Select a programme according to the type of load and the degree of soil.
  ECO offers the most efficient use of water and energy consumption.

10.2 Using salt, rinse aid and detergent

• Only use salt, rinse aid and detergent for dishwasher. Other products can cause damage to the appliance.
• In areas with hard and very hard water we recommend to use plain dishwasher detergent (powder, gel, tablets containing no additional agents), rinse aid and salt separately for optimal cleaning and drying results.

- At least once a month run the appliance with the use of appliance

cleaner which is particularly suitable for this purpose.

• Detergent tablets do not fully dissolve with short programmes. To prevent detergent residues on the tableware, we recommend that you use the tablets with long programmes.
• Do not use more than the correct quantity of detergent. Refer to the instructions on the detergent packaging.

10.3 What to do if you want to stop using multi-tablets

Before you start to use separately detergent, salt and rinse aid do the following procedure.

1. Set the highest level of the water softener.
2. Make sure that the salt and rinse aid containers are full.
3. Start the shortest programme with a rinsing phase. Do not add detergent and do not load the baskets.
4. When the programme is completed, adjust the water softener according to the water hardness in your area.
5. Adjust the released quantity of rinse aid.
6. Activate the rinse aid empty notification.

10.4 Loading the baskets

• Use the appliance to wash dishwasher-safe items only.
• Do not wash in the appliance items made of wood, horn, aluminium, pewter and copper.
• Do not wash in the appliance items that can absorb water (sponges, household cloths).
• Remove large food residues from dishes.

• Soak cookware with burnt-on food before washing it in the appliance.

• Put hollow items (cups, glasses and pans) with the opening facing downwards.

• Make sure that glasses do not touch each other.
• Put light items in the upper basket. Make sure that the items do not move freely.
• Put cutlery and small items in the cutlery drawer.
• Make sure that the spray arms can move freely before you start a programme.

10.5 Before starting a programme

Before you start the selected programme, make sure that:

• The filters are clean and correctly installed.
• The cap of the salt container is tight.
  • The spray arms are not clogged.
• There is enough salt and rinse aid (unless you use multi-tablets).
• The arrangement of the items in the baskets is correct.
• The programme is suitable to the type of load and the degree of soil.
• The correct quantity of detergent is used.

10.6 Unloading the baskets

1. Let the tableware cool down before you remove it from the appliance. Hot items can be easily damaged.
2. First remove items from the lower basket, then from the upper basket.

After the programme is completed, water can still remain on the inside surfaces of the appliance.

11. CARE AND CLEANING

Clogged holes can cause unsatisfactory washing results.

1. Pull out the upper basket.
2. To detach the spray arm from the basket, press the spray arm upwards and simultaneously turn it clockwise.
