Power voltage Total absorbed power GB GB Salt Salt The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard water is used in the dishwasher, deposits will form on the dishes and utensils. The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses a salt specifically designed to eliminate lime and minerals from the water. Loading the Salt into the Softener Always use salt intended for use with dishwashers. The salt container is located beneath the lower rack and should be filled as follows: - Remove the lower rack and then unscrew and remove the cap from the salt container; - If you are filling the container for the first time, fill it with water; - Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and introduce about 2 kg of salt. It is normal for a small amount of water to come out of the salt container. - Carefully screw the cap back on. Adjusting Salt Consumption The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjusting the amount of salt consumed based on the hardness of the water used. This is intended to optimize and customize the level of salt consumption so that it remains at a minimum. Your local Water Board can supply the degree of hardness of the water in your area. To adjust salt consumption, proceed as follows: Detergent and Rinse Aid Detergent Detergent specifically intended for use with dishwashers must be used. The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle following the instructions provided in the "Wash Cycle Table." The detergent dispenser is located on the inside panel of the door. Rinse Aid This product makes dishes sparkle and helps them to dry without spotting. The dispenser is located on the inside panel of the door and should be filled after every 80 wash cycles (or when the rinse aid indicator light comes on for those models with this feature). Loading the Rinse Aid To open the dispenser, turn the "C" cap in the anti-clockwise direction and then pour in the rinse aid, making sure not to overfill. The amount of rinse aid used for each cycle can be regulated by turning the "F" dose adjustor, located beneath the "C" cap, with a screwdriver. There are 6 different settings; the normal dosage setting is 3. Loading the detergent To open cover "A" on the dispenser, press button "B". The detergent for the wash cycle should be poured into compartment "C". After the detergent has been placed in the dispenser, close the cover and press down until it clicks in place. C Important Proper dosage of the rinse aid improves drying. If drops of water remain on the dishes or spotting occurs, the A dosage adjustor should be turned to a higher setting. If the dishes have white streaks, turn the dosage adjustor to a lower setting. - Unscrew the cap from the salt container; - There is a ring on the container with an arrow on it (see figure to the side), If necessary, rotate the ring in the anticlockwise direction from the "-" setting towards the "+" sign, according to water hardness. It is recommended that adjustments be made in accordance with the following scheme: B C F C Water Hardness The salt container must be filled when the "low salt" indicator light (located on the control panel) comes on. To prevent the formation of rust, load the salt just before beginning a wash cycle.

Loading the Dishwasher Turning on the Appliance Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove larger food particles to prevent the filter from becoming clogged, which results in reduced performance. If the pots and pans have baked-on food that is extremely hard to remove, we recommend that they are soaked before washed. This will eliminate the need for extra wash cycles. Pull out the rack to load the dishwasher. How to use the lower rack We recommend that you place the most difficult to clean items on the bottom rack: pots, pans, lids, serving dishes and bowls, as shown in the figure to the right. It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the sides of the racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation of the top spray arm. - Pots, serving bowls, etc. must always be placed face down. - Deep pots should be slanted to allow the water to flow out. - The lower rack features fold down tine rows (see fig.A) so that larger or more pots and pans can be loaded. - The silverware basket can be doubled (see fig.B) so that only one section may be used when the silverware load is light. This also makes space for additional pots and pans and it can also be placed in the upper rack. - Silverware should be placed in the silverware basket with the handles at the bottom; if the rack has side baskets, the spoons should be located individually into the appropriate slots. Especially long utensils should be placed in the horizontal position at the front of the upper rack. How to use the upper rack The upper rack is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware, such as glasses, cups and saucers, plates, small bowls and shallow pans (as long as they are not too dirty). - Position the dishes and cookware so that they do not get moved by the spray of water. Adjust the upper basket to the higher level and you have more space to accommodate those taller pans and trays in the bottom basket. Shelf Lean tall glasses and those with long stems against the shelf-not against other items to be washed. Place glasses, cups and small bowls on the additional cup rack. The additional cup rack can be swivelled in or out as required(see fig.C). Knife rack The knife rack clips onto the side of the top basket, giving you the freedom to wash your large sharp knives separately and out of harm's way (see fig.D). Lower Rack Upper Rack Starting a wash cycle After having completed all of the installation steps in the preceding paragraphs, turn on the water all the way and press the ONOFF button (B) located on the control pannel. The "A" indicator light will come on. At this point, the appliance is on but you must wait a few seconds before programming the cycle setting. Setting and Starting a wash Cycle Select the desired cycle by pressing the selector button (I). Each Setting the Wash Cycle with a Delayed Start Time By pressing the "D" button (see close-up view-'Control panel") the start of wash cycle can be delayed for between 1 to 12 hours. Each time the button is pressed, the display (C) will show the number of hours for the delay period. Choose the amount of time desired. After selecting the wash cycle, a short acoustic signal will sound and after a few seconds, the delay time on the display will blink, This indicates that the countdown has begun. After the time has lapsed, the cycle will start. Load for 12 Standard Settings time the button is pressed, one of the "J" cycle indicator lights will come on in succession. Choose the wash cycle you feel is most appropriate for the type of dishes that need washing (consult the wash cycle table contained in this manual. After a few seconds, the wash cycle has begun and can no longer be changed. If necessary, read the paragraph entitled "Cancelling or modifying a cycle" . NOTE: During the delay period, it is preferable not to change any of the settings, If this is necessary, all of the settings must be cancelled by pressing the ON/OFF button (B). At this point, all of the steps for "setting the wash cycle with a Delayed Start Time" and "Setting and Starting a wash cycle" must be repeated, following the instructions contained in the corresponding sections. If the door is opened to the unit during the delay period, the countdown will stop. It wil begin again when the door is closed. All of the wash cycle set to reverse time function, we may in focus stat circulate time. Cancelling or modifying a cycle Load for 12 Standard Settings (for IEC-EN 50242 tests) A cycle that is underway can only be modified if it has only been running for a short time. Otherwise, the detergent may have already been used, and the appliance mayhave already drained the wash water. If this is the case, the detergent dispenser must be refilled (see the paragraph entitled, "Loading the Detergent"). To modify a cycle that is already underway, press the ON/OFF button (B), all of the settings will be cancelled. To set a new cycle, follow the instructions contained in the paragraph entitled "Setting and starting a wash cycle". fig.A fig.B Wash Cycle Program Light The dishwasher is equipped with a LED indicator light (J) that turns on when the appliance is running the wash cycle.
