Afwasautomaat - Lave-vaisselle - Geschirrspüler - Dishwasher NL Gebruiksaanwijzing (deel 1) bladzijde 2 F Notice d'utilisation (partie 1) page 11 D Bedienungsanleitung (Teil 1) Seite 23 GB Instruction book (part 1) page 33 Only use salt specifically designed for use in dishwashers. All other types of salt not specifically designed for use in a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water softener. Only fill with salt just before starting one of the washing programmes (except the Rinse and Hold programme). This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been spilt, remaining on the bottom of the machine for any period of time, which may cause corrosion. Rinse aid Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying. The dispenser, which is positioned inside the door, holds about 110 ml of rinse aid, which is sufficient for 16 - 40 dishwashing programmes, depending upon the dosage setting. Rinse aid can be added in one of two ways: q To fill: 1. Open the door, remove the lower basket and unscrew the cap of the salt container by turning it anticlockwise. 2. Pour 1 litre of water inside the container (this is necessary only before filling with salt for the first time). 3. Using the funnel provided, pour in the salt until the container is full. 4. Replace the cap making sure that there is no trace of salt on the screw thread or on the gasket. 5. Screw on the cap tightly turning it clockwise until it stops with a click. LE SA UT ZO LT SA LZ SA L SE If you are using dishwasher detergent that already contains rinse aid, the detergent including the rinse aid is placed in the detergent compartment. - In this case the rinse aid compartment must be empty. If in the rinse aid dispenser there is still rinse aid you must wait until it has finished before using detergent that contains rinse aid. If you are using dishwasher detergent and rinse aid separately, the rinse aid is to be put into the rinse aid dispenser. - In this case the rinse aid dosage must be set in position from 1 to 6 (see "Adjusting the dose") and the rinse aid indicator light activated. q Filling with rinse aid (Rinse aid dispenser type A) SR14 1. Open the container by pressing the release button (A). 2. Fill with rinse aid exactly up to the level indicator marked "max". The salt container will require topping up periodically. According to the model of dishwasher, you are reminded of this by: A) The salt cap has a refill indicator window in the centre. A green float is clearly visible when there is salt inside the container and almost disappears when the salt has finished reminding you to add salt. BR07 BR14 Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill. SR22 Adjusting the dose According to the finish and drying results obtained, adjust the dose of rinse aid by means of the 6 position selector (position 1 minimum dosage, position 6 maximum dosage). Increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on the dishes after washing. The dose is factory set in position 4. Reduce it if there are sticky whitish streaks on the dishes. B) A salt indicator light on the control panel will come on when the salt has finished. The salt indicator light on the control panel can remain illuminated for 2-6 hours after the salt has been replenished, assuming the dishwasher remains switched on. If you are using salts that take longer to dissolve then this can take longer. The function of the machine is not affected. Do not worry if water over flows from the unit when filling with salt, this is quite normal. BR09 35 Filling with rinse aid (Rinse aid dispenser type B) 1. Open the container by turning the lid (A) anticlockwise. 2. Fill with rinse aid exactly up to the level indicator marked "max". Top up with rinse aid when: 1. The indicator (B) becomes clear, BR11 BR03 BR01 BR13 Ensure the lid is closed after every refill. 2. Only for dishwasher models with rinse aid indicator light: When the rinse aid indicator light on the control panel illuminates (when the machine is switched on and the door closed). Adjusting the dose According to the finish and drying results obtained, adjust the dose of rinse aid by means of the 6 position selector (C) (position 1 minimum dosage, position 6 maximum dosage). Increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on the dishes after washing. The dose is factory set in position 5. Reduce it if there are sticky whitish streaks on the dishes. Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next wash. Only use branded rinse aid for dishwashers. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances (e.g. dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This would damage the appliance. BR02 36 Use of detergent Only use detergents specifically designed for use in dishwashers. Using no more then the correct amount of detergent contributes to reducing pollution. Prior to the start of a wash programme. The detergent is released during the washing phase. Please observe the manufacturer's dosing and storage recommendations as stated on the detergent packaging. Use of "3 in 1" combi detergent tablets General advice These products are tablets with combined detergent/rinse-aid and salt functions. 1. Before using these products you should first check that the water hardness in your supply is compatible with the use of these products as per the detergent manufacturers (on the product packaging). 2. These products should be strictly used according to the detergent manufacturers instructions. Do not place the tablets in the tub or in the cutlery basket as this will result in poorer wash results. The tablets should be placed in the detergent dispenser. 3. If you encounter problems when using 3 in 1 products for the first time then please contact the detergent manufacturers care line (the telephone number is given on the product packaging). Fill with detergent (Detergent dispenser type A) 1. If the lid is closed: press release button (1). The lid springs open. 2. Fill the detergent dispenser (2) with detergent. The marking indicates the dosing levels: 20 = approximately 20 ml of detergent 30 = approximately 30 ml of detergent 3. All programmes with prewash need an additional detergent dose (5 g) that must be placed in the prewash detergent chamber (3). This detergent will take effect during the prewash phase. Special advice When using combination products, the rinse-aid and salt indicators are no longer useful (please note that only some dishwashers have these options). Select the lowest possible setting for water hardness. For more information please refer to the instruction manual. If you decide to turn back to the use of the standard detergent system we advise that you: q q Refill both the salt container and rinse aid dispenser. Switch the water hardness setting to the highest possible position and run a normal washing programme without a load. Readjust the water hardness setting again according to the hardness of the water in your area. q DE19 DE22 4. Close the lid and press until it locks in place. Concentrated detergent Fill with detergent (Detergent dispenser type B) 1. Open the dispenser by pulling the catch (A). The lid springs open. 2. Fill the detergent dispenser with detergent. The marking indicates the dosing levels: Min = approximately 15 g of detergent Max = approximately 30 g of detergent 3. Close the lid and press until it locks in place. Based on their chemical composition, dishwasher detergents can be split into two basic types: - conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components. - low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes. The use of 50°C washing programmes in conjunction with concentrated detergents reduces pollution and is good for your dishes; these wash programmes are specially matched to the dirt-dissolving properties of the enzymes in the concentrated detergent. For this reason 50°C wash programmes in which concentrated detergents are used can achieve the same results that can otherwise only be achieved using 65°C programmes. Detergent tablets Detergent tablets of different brands dissolve at different speeds. For this reason some detergent tablets cannot develop their full cleaning power during short programmes. Therefore please use normal programmes with prewash when using detergent tablets. DE17 DE02 4. All programmes with prewash need an additional detergent dose (5 g) that must be placed over the lid of the dispenser. This detergent will take effect during the prewash phase. 37 Maintenance and cleaning Clean the external surfaces of the machine and control panel with a damp soft cloth. If necessary use only neutral detergents. Never use abrasive products, scouring pads or solvent (acetone, trichloroethylene etc....). Ensure that the seals around the door, the detergent and rinse aid dispensers are cleaned regularly with a damp cloth. We recommend every 3 months to run a 65°C wash programme without dishes using detergent. 8. Place the coarse/fine filter in the microfilter and press together. 9. Put the filter combination in place and lock by turning the handle clockwise to the stop. During this process ensure that the flat filter does not protrude above the base of the washing compartment. Under no circumstances may the dishwasher be used without filters. To ensure a correct working of the dishwasher, NEVER try to remove the upper spray arm. If residues of soil have clogged the holes in the upper spray arm, remove them with a toothpick. MA33 Cleaning the filters The filters in the base of the washing compartment are to a large extent self-cleaning. Nevertheless the filters should be checked and cleaned from time to time. Dirty filters will degrade the washing result. 1. Open the door, remove the lower basket. 2. The dishwasher filter system comprises a coarse/fine filter (A/B), a microfilter (C) and a flat filter (D). Some dishwasher models filter system comprises only a coarse filter (A), a microfilter (C) and a flat filter (D). Unlock the filter system using the handle on the microfilter, and remove. Prolonged periods of non-operation If you are not using the machine for any period of time you are advised to: 1. Unplug the appliance and then turn off the water. 2. Fill the rinse aid dispenser. 3. Leave the door ajar to prevent the formation of any unpleasant smells. 4. Leave the inside of the machine clean. Frost precautions MA35 MA32 3. Turn the handle about 1/4 a turn anticlockwise and remove. Avoid placing the machine in a location where the temperature is below 0°C. If this is unavoidable, empty the machine, close the appliance door, disconnect the water inlet pipe and empty it. Moving the machine If you have to move the machine (moving house etc....): 1. Unplug it. 2. Turn the water tap off. 3. Remove the water inlet and discharge hoses. 4. Pull the machine out together with the hoses. Avoid over tilting the machine during transportation. MA36 4.
