Description of your dishwasher

The above photograph of the machine with the lower basket removed shows

you all the main components described in these operating instructions.

Your dishwasher is fitted with safety systems protecting you from flooding:

The ANTI-OVERFLOW SYSTEM. This system automatically activates

the drain pump if the water in the tub reaches an abnormal level.

The ANTI-LEAK SYSTEM. (depending on the model) This system cuts

off the water supply if a leak is detected under the machine.

Please read your dishwasher’s installation and operating

manuals carefully so that your machine will provide full and

complete satisfaction. These will enable you to discover all

the advantages of this machine and put them to best use.

What to do before using the machine for the first time

STEP 1: Adjusting the water softener

For impeccable washing and drying results with no streaks.

The water softener must be adjusted correctly to ensure no streaks

after washing and drying.

Your dishwasher is fitted with a water softening system that operates

using regenerating salt.

You must set the water softener according to the hardness of the water

in your area.

➁➁

Adjustment via the cursor inside the tub.

Adjust the setting using the cursor on the left-hand side inside the

tub by positioning it correctly on the desired number, depending on

the water hardness.

You must fill the salt reservoir with water before using

the machine, even if the water softener setting selected

does not require any regenerating salt.

If you move house and take the dishwasher with you you will

need to check the water hardness and adjust accordingly.

For good wash results it is very important to set the dishwasher

to the correct level of water hardness and to set the correct

level of rinse aid.

➀➀

Measuring the water hardness

To do this: contact your local water supplier to find out the water

hardness level and adjust on the machine as described below.

Salt

55 - 70°F

40 - 55°F

What to do before using the machine for the first time

Indication of the level of

regenerating salt

SALT indicator light:

This illuminates showing salt

needs to be added. After you have

refilled the salt reservoir, the light

may still remain lit until the salt

has dissolved sufficiently, generally

after one cycle (or if the reservoir

has not been completely filled, for

instance when putting the

machine into operating using the

sample.

If the water is especially

soft and does not require the

use of any regenerating salt,

the SALT light remains lit.

③③

Filling the regenerating salt reservoir

You must fill this, with water just

before starting your first wash then

add the salt:

Filling with salt is essential to obtain a good

wash with no streaks. The salt regener-

ates the resins, which soften the water by

removing its limestone content unless

the water is already sufficiently soft

(see “Adjusting the water softener”).

Salt reservoir

Should any regenerating salt overflow when filling,

we recommend that you remove the loose salt crystals

to avoid oxidising the machine.

Never put deter-

gent in this reser-

voir: this will ruin

the water softener.

- Unscrew the salt reservoir’s stopper and

remove it.

- Use the funnel to introduce the salt.

(available from the after-sales department

under reference : 31X3964).

- Fill the reservoir with regenerating salt

specially designed for dishwashers.

- On the first time, add

water until it reaches the

edge of the reservoir.

- Screw the salt reservoir’s stop

back in fully.

Do not use kitchen salt.

SALT

What to do before using the machine for the first time

Contents: 120 ml (approx. one glass)

Should any rinse aid overflow

when filling, mop up the excess

to avoid foam forming.

➀➀Filling

When putting the machine into oper-

ation, fill the container level with the

top of the adjustment lever.

Put in at least all the contents of the

sample supplied.

Close the container tightly

Opaque: some product remaining

Brilliant: container empty

Indicator:

STEP 2: Rinse aid

For brilliant and very dry results

➁➁Adjustment (if necessary)

The original setting is in the middle

(Medium position: setting 2).

After a few cycles, if there are streaks or

the drying is poor, you can adjust the set-

ting using the adjustment lever:

- Setting 1 to reduce the dose, (soft water)

- Setting 3 to increase the dose

(hard water)

Adjustment lever

The rinse aid indicator light:

This illuminates showing rinse aid must be added.

What to do before using the machine for the first time

STEP 3: the washing products

for a clean wash

For easy loading, the detergent container is located on the front of the

upper basket.

The detergent container is designed to take tablets powder or liquid

recommended for dishwasher use.

VERY IMPORTANT:

- For good wash results it is recommended to use individual

detergent, salt and rinse aid products.

- However “2 in 1” tablets (detergent and rinse aid) can be

used, if so, you may need to adjust the rinse aid dial according

to the wash results (see page 34)

- Good wash results depend on getting the salt + rinse aid

levels set correctly according to use level of water hardness

(see pages 32-33).

Tablets

Place the tablet in the compartment.

underneath the top basket.

Only use the washing

products specially designed

for dishwasher use.

Powder or liquid

Pull the container out to fill it with liquid deter-

gent or powder.

Fill it up to the Minimum mark for lightly soiled

items.

Fill it up to the Maximum mark for dirty items.

Close the container.

Keep all these pro-

ducts out of children’s

reach and away from

any damp environments.

The lower basket

Lay the items out so that the water can

circulate freely and spray all the utensils.

Place the plates and the wide pots and

pans at the sides.

Do not intersperse or superimpose plates

and dishes or place them side-by-side.

The fold-down spikes help you to

arrange your large items (depending on

the model).

No items should interfere with the rotation of the

washing arms (pot handles, cutlery, etc.)

Anti-blocking size wire

(depending on the model)

Loading the dishwasher

Unloading the dishwasher

First of all empty the lower basket to avoid any drops of water

falling onto it from the upper basket.

Items unsuitable for dishwasher use

- Wooden cutting boards

- Oxidisable steel or non heat-resistant plastic utensils,

- Pewter or copper items,

- Glued items,

- Cutlery with wooden, horn or mother-of-pearl handles,

- Antique or hand-painted porcelain.

When purchasing crockery, glassware, cutlery, etc., ensure that they are

suitable for use in a dishwasher.

Loading the dishwasher

Important note:

For safety reasons, we recommend that you arrange

any knives with pointed ends point downwards in the cutlery

baskets (to avoid accidents).

Any long-bladed knives and other sharp kitchen utensils should

be placed flat in the upper basket.

Cutlery

Removable grilds are available if you

wish to organise the loading of your

cutlery.

For optimum washing and drying, use

these separation grilds fully or partially.

- Place your cutlery with the handles at

the bottom.

- Avoid washing cutlery with horn han-

dles in your machine.

- Separate silverware from cutlery in

other metals using the separation

grills.

The sliding cutlery baskets

These can be arranged in any position

in the lower basket. You can therefore

arrange different loads according to the

items you wish to wash.

You can place a cutlery basket in the

upper basket.

If your cutlery or your plates are too

large, adjust the height of the upper

basket (it is height-adjustable).
