Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply with the installation instructions 2. Remove all packaging from inside the appliance 3. Set the water softener 4. Pour 1 litre of water inside the salt container and then fill with salt 5. Fill the rinse aid dispenser. 6. Run a "Rinse and Hold" programme. Water hardness German degrees (°dH) 0-4 The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener designed to remove minerals and salts from the water supply, which would have a detrimental or adverse effect on the operation of the appliance. The higher the content of these salts, the harder your water is. Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, German, French degrees and PPM (parts per Million). The 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. The dishwasher is factory set at level 2. If this level is not suitable for your area the softener should be adjusted. 5 - 11 12 - 22 23 - 34 35 - 45 46 - 50 French degrees (°TH) 0-8 9 - 20 21 - 40 41 - 60 61 - 80 81 - 90 PPM (Parts per Million) 0 - 80 81 - 200 201 - 400 401 - 600 601 - 800 801 - 900 Level 0 1 2 3 4 5 Use of salt NO YES YES YES YES YES Setting the water softener If your water is level 0 it is already soft and therefore there is no need to use salt. Adjust the water softener on level 1 without using salt. In this case (only for models with salt refill indicator light) the salt refill indicator light on the control panel will always remain illuminated when the machine is switched on. To adjust the water softener With a screwdriver turn the selector on the upper front corner of the machine until the level required corresponds with the marker. 3 4 5 1 2 2 AA05 16 Filling with salt 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 complete washing programmes. This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been spilled, remaining on the bottom of the machine for any period of time, which may cause corrosion. The salt container will require topping up periodically. According to the model, an indicator reminds you when filling with salt: 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. SR15 1. Unscrew the cap of the salt container. SR16 2. Pour 1 litre of water inside the container (this is necessary only before filling with salt for the first time). SR11 B) A salt indicator light on the control panel comes on when the salt has finished. SR17 3. Using the funnel provided, pour in the salt until the container is full. 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. C) For appliances not provided with salt indicator: top up periodically the salt container with salt (after about every 50 washing cycles with water softener setted on level 3). Do not worry if water over flows from the unit when filling with salt, this is quite normal. SR18 4. Remove any trace of salt on the screw thread or on the gasket. SR19 5. Screw on the cap tightly. 17 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. Filling with rinse aid 1. Open the container by turning the lid (A) anticlockwise. 2. Add the rinse aid until the container is completely full. The indicator (B) will be completely dark. 3. Top up the rinse aid when the indicator (B) becomes clear. (Only for models with rinse aid indicator light) Top up the rinse aid when the rinse aid indicator light on the control panel illuminates. Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill. Do not put liquid detergent in the rinse aid compartment. Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next wash. BR03 BR01 A B m a x 6543 21 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. Reduce it if there are sticky whitish streaks on the dishes. 6543 21 C x BR02 18 m a Use of detergent Only use detergents specifically designed for use in dishwashers. If using powder detergents proceed as follows: 1. Open the dispenser lid by pulling the catch (D). 2. Add the detergent according to the recommended quantity given in the "Washing programmes" chart (Instruction book - part 2). As all detergents are not the same, you should also consult the instructions on the packet. 3. Always close the lid. 4. If the programme has a prewash add a little amount of detergent over the lid of the dispenser. Follow the recommended quantity of detergent given in the "Washing programmes" chart (Instruction book - part 2). Min = 15 g Max = 30 g D DE17 If using detergent in tablets proceed as follows: 1. For all programmes; place 1 tablet inside the detergent dispenser. 2. Always close the lid. 3. For all programmes with prewash; place a portion of a further tablet on the lid of the detergent dispenser. DE02 Insufficient quantities of detergent will produce poor washing results, whereas an excessive amount of detergent will not improve washing results and is also wasteful. Using no more than the correct amount also contributes to reducing pollution. Compact detergents with enzymes In these compact powders the environmentally unfriendly components have been replaced by natural enzymes and other more biodegradable substances. The enzymes deploy their full dirt dissolving power at a temperature as low as 50°C. By choosing the "50°C" programmes (if foreseen with the model) you can therefore achieve the same cleaning results that would otherwise be achievable only with 65°C programmes and conventional detergents. 19 M M IN AX Hints and tips To save energy Place dishes in the machine immediately after every meal and wait until the dishwasher is full before washing. (Follow the instructions given in "Instruction Book" - part 2). If necessary run the Rinse and Hold programme (see "Washing Programmes" chart) so that any food scraps do not become caked on the dishes while you are waiting to run the complete wash programme. Do not prewash dishes under running water. Select an economic programme when dishes are not very soiled, following the instructions given in the "Washing programmes" chart (see "Instruction Book" - part 2). Items not suitable for dishwashers The following items should not be washed in the dishwasher (unless they are sold as dishwasher proof): - Cutlery with wooden or horn handles or glued parts - bronze cutlery - saucepans with wooden handles - aluminium ware - crystal ware - leaded glass - plastic items - antique or fine decorated china Certain types of decoration can discolour when washed in a dishwasher. For best washing and drying results Before loading, remove all scraps of food and soak very heavily soiled pots and pans. Arrange saucepans, cups and glasses etc. upside-down. Tilt items with convex or concave surfaces so that the water drains off easily. Avoid contact between the dishes as far as possible. Crystal-ware and plastic objects, if not guaranteed dishwasher proof should be washed by hand. Certain types of glass can also become opaque after being washed several times in a dishwasher. A chemical reaction can occur between silver cutlery and stainless steel cutlery. As a precaution, do not wash together. Iron and cast iron objects can rust and stain other items. Aluminium tends to go black, copper, pewter and brass tend to stain. If in doubt check with manufacturer of the item. When buying new dishes, ensure that they are dishwasher proof. 20 Maintenance and cleaning Internal cleaning 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. Cleaning the central filter (After each wash) Scraps of food may accumulate in the drain filter (A) and should be removed by rinsing the filter under running water. To remove the drain filter - simply pull it out ...
