When selecting a programme, the door needs to be open. 1. On/Off push button 2. Salt refilling indicator light 3. On/Off indicator light 4. Programme selection push buttons 5. End of cycle indicator light To reactivate the audible signals, press simultaneously and keep pressed both NORMAL 65°c and BIO 50°c push buttons, during the pressure of the push buttons no signal will be heard for about 3 seconds, after this time an intermittent audible signal will start, this means that the audible signals have been reactivated. Both operations (to deactivate or reactivate the audible signals) must be carried out before starting a washing programme; the setting will remain memorised after switching off the dishwasher. Audible signals Audible signals have been introduced to help indicate which operations the dishwasher is performing. Short "instruction accepted" signal When any of the push buttons are pressed (except the On/Off push button), a short audible signal informs you that the machine has accepted the instruction given. Long "programme run" signal A continuous audible signal, heard only when you close the door, informs you that the washing programme is starting. Intermittent "end of programme" signal An intermittent audible signal informs you that the wash programme has ended. To deactivate the audible signals, press simultaneously and keep pressed both NORMAL 65°c and BIO 50°c push buttons, during the pressure of the push buttons an intermittent audible signal will be heard for about 3 seconds, after this time the audible signal will turn off, this means that the audible signals have been deactivated. SO234 4 Before use Before using your dishwasher for the first time: 1. 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. To select a different level proceed as follows: 1. Press NORMAL 65°c and QUICK 50°c programme push buttons simultaneously for about 5 seconds. The indicator light of the programme corresponding to the current level flashes. Setting the water softener 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, Clarke degrees, 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 4. If this level is not suitable for your area the softener should be adjusted. You may change the factory setting level by means of the wash programme selection push buttons. Each button corresponds to a different level Level 1 = programme push button RINSE AND HOLD Level 2 = programme push button INTENSIVE 70°c Level 3 = programme push button NORMAL 65°c Level 4 = programme push button BIO 50°c Level 5 = programme push button QUICK 50°c SO235 2. Press within 5 seconds the programme push button corresponding to the required level you want to select. 3. 5 seconds after a programme push button has last been pressed, the dishwasher memorises the level selected and returns to the programme setting mode. 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. To fill: 1. To fill with salt, unscrew the cap of the salt container. 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. Do not worry if water over flows from the unit when filling with salt, this is quite normal. 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. The salt container will require topping up periodically. You are reminded of this by the salt indicator light on the control panel which comes 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. Water hardness Level Clarke degrees 0 - 10 11 - 27 28 - 35 36 - 49 50 - 63 French degrees (°TH) LT SA PPM (Parts per Million) Use of salt NO YES YES YES YES 1 2 3 4 5 0 - 14 15 - 39 40 - 50 51 - 70 71 - 90 0 - 140 141 - 390 400 - 500 501 - 700 701 - 900 SR03 If your water is level 1 it is already soft and therefore there is no need to use salt. With the setting of the water softener at level 1 the salt indicator light on the control panel will always remain off. Use salt from level 2 upwards. The adjustment of the water softener is possible only with the machine in setting mode. 5 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. Use of detergent Only use detergents specifically designed for use in dishwashers. We recommend the use of Finish detergents which are available in the following options: Finish Double Action Tablets. Each tablet has the exact amount of detergent required, simply place in the dispenser. Finish Powder recommended for every day use. Finish Liquid Gel ideal for every day use. As the gel is extra gentle it is recommended for fine bone china. 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. If using powder detergents proceed as follows: 1. Open the dispenser lid by pulling the catch (D). 2. Add the detergent according to the instructions given in the Washing programmes chart. As all detergents are not the same, you should also consult the instructions on the packet. m a x 6543 B 21 3. Always close the lid. 4. If the programme has a prewash add a little amount of detergent in the SID detergent dispenser, located in the centre of the upper basket. Follow the recommended quantity of detergent given in the Washing programmes chart. Min = 15 g Max = 30 g D 3. Top up the rinse aid when the indicator (B) becomes clear. 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. 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. 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. m a x 6543 21 Insufficient quantities of detergent will produce poor washing results, whereas an excessive amount of detergent will not improve washing result ...
