Loading The Salt Into The Softener
Only use salt specifically designed for dishwashers use!
Every other type of salt not specifically designed for dishwasher use,
especially table salt, will damage the water softener. In case of damages
caused by the use of unsuitable salt the manufacturer does not give any
warranty nor is liable for any damages caused.
Only fill with salt before running a cycle.
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.
WARNING
Always use salt intended for dishwasher use.
The salt container is located beneath the lower basket and should be filled as
explained in the following:
Please check the section 1 Water Softener of PART : Special Version,
If you need to set the water softener .

4. After filling the container, screw back the cap tightly.
5. The salt warning light will stop being after the salt container has been filled with salt.
6. Immediately after filling the salt into the salt container, a washing program should
be started (We suggest to use a short program). Otherwise the filter system, pump
or other important parts of the machine may be damaged by salty water. This is
out of warranty.
NOTE: The salt container must only be refilled when the salt warning light ( ) in the
control panel comes on. Depending on how well the salt dissolves, the salt
warning light may still be on even though the salt container is filled.
If there is no salt warning light in the control panel (for some Models), you can
estimate when to fill the salt into the softener by the cycles that the dishwasher
has run.
If salt has spilled, run a soak or quick program to remove it.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
External Care
The door and the door seal Clean the door seals regularly with a soft damp cloth to remove food deposits.
When the dishwasher is being loaded, food and drink residues may drip onto the
sides of the dishwasher door. These surfaces are outside the wash cabinet and are not
accessed by water from the spray arms. Any deposits should be wiped off before the
door is closed.
The control panel If cleaning is required, the control panel should be wiped with a soft damp cloth only.
To avoid penetration of water into the door lock and electrical components,
do not use a spray cleaner of any kind.
Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the outer surfaces because
they may scratch the finish. Some paper towels may also scratch or leave
marks on the surface.

Caring For The Dishwasher
Frost precaution
Please take frost protection measures on the dishwasher in winter. Every time after
washing cycles, please operate as follows:
1. Cut off the electrical power to the dishwasher at the supply source.
2. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet pipe from the water valve.
3. Drain the water from the inlet pipe and water valve. (Use a pan to gather the water)
4. Reconnect the water inlet pipe to the water valve.
5. Remove the filter at the bottom of the tub and use a sponge to soak up water in
the sump.
After every wash After every wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance and leave the door slightly
open so that moisture and odors are not trapped inside.
Remove the plug Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the plug from the socket.
No solvents or abrasive cleaning To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not use solvents or
abrasive cleaning products. Only use a cloth with warm soapy water.
To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use a cloth dampened with
water an a little vinegar, or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.
When not in use for a longtime It is recommend that you run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and then remove
the plug from the socket, turn off the water supply and leave the door of the
appliance slightly open. This will help the door seals to last longer and prevent odors
from forming within the appliance.
Moving the appliance If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in the vertical position. If absolutely
necessary, it can be positioned on its back.
Seals One of the factors that cause odours to form in the dishwasher is food that remains
trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this from
occurring.

Water Softener The water softener must be set manually, using the water hardness dial.
The water softener is designed to remove minerals and salts from the water, which
would have a detrimental or adverse effect on the operation of the appliance.
The more minerals there are, the harder your water is.
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.
Adjusting salt consumption The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjustment in the amount of salt consumed
based on the hardness of the water used. This is intended to optimise and customise
the level of salt consumption.

environment, the sets will change in the following sequence:
H1->H2->H3->H4->H5->H6;
4. Press the Power button to end the set up model.
Please follow the steps below for adjustment in salt consumption.

Water Softener
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 container
specifically designed to eliminate lime and minerals from the water.
Preparing And Loading Dishes
Consider buying utensils which are identified as dishwasher-proof.
For particular items, select a program with the lowest possible temperature.
To prevent damage, do not take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher
immediately after the program has ended.
Cutlery with wooden, horn china or mother-of-pearl handles
Plastic items that are not heat resistant
Older cutlery with glued parts that are not temperature resistant
Bonded cutlery items or dishes
Pewter or cooper items
Crystal glass
Steel items subject to rusting
Wooden platters
Items made from synthetic fibres
Some types of glasses can become dull after a large number of washes
Silver and aluminum parts have a tendency to discolour during washing

Please check the section 3 Loading The Salt Into The Softener
of PART Generic Version, If your dishwasher lacks salt.:
Items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans, etc. are faced downwards.
Curved items, or ones with recesses, should be loaded aslant so that water can run
off.
All utensils are stacked securely and can not tip over.
All utensils are placed in the way that the spray arms can rotate freely during
washing.
Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans etc. With the opening facing
downwards so that water cannot collect in the container or a deep base.
Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another, or cover each other.
To avoid damage, glasses should not touch one another.
The upper basket is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware such as
glasses, coffee and tea cups.
Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard!
Long and / or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned
horizontally in the upper basket.
Please do not overload your dishwasher. This is important for good results and for
reasonable consumption of energy.
NOTE: Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher as they could easily fall
out of the basket.
To prevent water dripping from the upper basket into the lower basket, we
recommend that you empty the lower basket first, followed by the upper basket.
Removing the dishes
WARNING Items will be hot! To prevent damage, do not take glass and
cutlery out of the dishwasher for around 15 minutes after the
program has ended.

Recommendations for loading the dishwasher Scrape off any large amounts of leftover food. Soften remnants of burnt food in
pans. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes under running water.
For best performance of the dishwasher, follow these loading guidelines.
(Features and appearance of baskets and cutlery baskets may vary from
your model.)
Place objects in the dishwasher in following way:
Loading the upper basket The upper basket is designed to hold more delicate and
lighter dishware such as glasses, coffee and tea cups
and saucers, as well as plates, small bowls and shallow
pans (as long as they are not too dirty). Position the
dishes and cookware so that they will not get moved by
the spray of water.
WARNING Do not let any item extend through the bottom. Always load sharp utensils with the sharp point down!
Loading the cutlery basket Cutlery should be placed in the cutlery rack separately from each other in the
appropriate positions, and do make sure the utensils do not nest together, this may
cause bad performance.
For the best washing effect, please load the baskets refer to standard
loading options on last section of PART Generic Version:
Loading the lower basket We suggest that you place large items and the most
difficult to clean items are to be placed into the lower
basket: such as pots, pans, lids, serving dishes and bowls,
as shown in the figure below. It is preferable to place
serving dishes and lids on the side of the racks in order to
avoid blocking the rotation of the top spray arm.
The maximum diameter advised for plates in front of the
detergent dispenser is of 19 cm, this not to hamper the
opening of it.
10
The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets
on your dishes, which can leave spots and streaks. It also improves drying by allowing
water to roll off the dishes. Your dishwasher is designed to use liquid rinse aids.
WARNING
Only use branded rinse aid for dishwasher. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser
with any other substances (e.g. Dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent).
This would damage the appliance.
Function Of The Rinse Aid And Detergent

fresh and dry. Don't put powdered detergent into the dispenser until you are ready to wash
dishes.

detergent out of the reach of children.
When to refill the rinse aid The regularity of the dispenser needing to be refilled depends on how often dishes are
washed and the rinse aid setting used.
The Low Rinse Aid indicator ( ) will appear in the display when more rinse aid
is needed.
