Important : Keep this users manual with your appliance. If the appliance is sold or transferred to

someone else, ensure that the manual is with it. Please take note of these instructions before installing and using your appliance. They have been drawn up for your own and other peoples safety.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Installation When you receive your appliance, unpack it or have it unpacked immediately. Check that it has not suffered any damage during transport. Express any reservations in writing on the delivery note, of which you keep a copy. Never connect up a damaged machine. If your appliance is damaged, please contact your dealer. Before proceeding to connect up your machine, please refer to the instructions in your Installation Guide. Your dishwasher must be kept disconnected from the mains supply throughout the whole of the installation process. The electrical connection details on your appliances description plate must comply with those for the mains supply. The socket must still be accessible once your appliance has been installed. Do not alter or attempt to alter the appliances characteristics. This could put you at risk. If your installation has to be altered, only entrust the electrical and plumbing work to a qualified electrician or plumber respectively. Your appliance is designed for normal domestic use. Do not use it for industrial or commercial purposes or for any other purpose than that for which it has been designed. Your appliance is designed to be used for household and similar applications such as: staff kitchenettes in shops, offices and other professional environments, farmhouses, use by guests at hotels, motels and other residential-type facilities, bed and breakfast type facilities. The dishwashers walls must not be pierced under any circumstances.

Childrens safety This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons unless they have been adequately supervised by a responsible person to ensure that they can use the appliance safely. This appliance must only be used by adults. Ensure that children do not touch it and do not use it as a toy. Ensure that they do not operate the appliances controls. Keep young children away from the appliance when it is operating. Detergents contain irritant and abrasive substances. These products can have caustic effects on the eyes, the mouth or the throat. They can be extremely dangerous if ingested. Avoid any contact with the skin and the eyes. Ensure that the appliances detergent container is empty at the end of the washing cycle. Place detergents out of childrens reach and do not put any detergent in the machine until just before you start the washing programme. The water in your dishwasher is not drinking water; this is why children must not go near the appliance when its door is open. Do not allow children to play with or sit on the door when it is open, as the dishwasher could overturn. Once you have unpacked your appliance, place the packaging out of childrens reach. Keep all the packaging materials (e.g. plastic bags, polystyrene, etc.) out of childrens reach because they can be dangerous for children (ie. risk of suffocation).

1 / FOR THE USERS ATTENTIONEN

Use This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. When machine is running, do not open door. This may provoke steam leakage or splattering of water. Only use products specially designed for your dishwasher (water softening salt, detergent and rinsing products). As far as possible, avoid opening the dishwashers door when it is operating, and in particular during the heating phases, because scalding steam may escape or you may be splashed with hot water. The machine is fitted with a safety system that immediately blocks the dishwashers operation if the door is opened. Never use chemical solvents in your appliance because these could cause an explosion. Always close your appliances door after loading or removing your items. Do not lean or sit on your appliances door when it is open. Unplug your machine before carrying out any technical work on it. Avoid placing your machine immediately next to a cooking or heating appliance to prevent any risk of heat damage; Do not place any items in your machine, which are not certified as dishwasher safe. If you have removed an item before the end of the washing programme, it is important to rinse it carefully to remove any residual washing products. If your appliance breaks down, never attempt to repair it yourself. Any repairs made by non-qualified personnel can cause significant damage or lack of control. The machine complies with applicable safety regulations. Any repairs should be carried out by qualified technicians. Repairs or changes that do not conform may be dangerous for the users. In case of replacement, only use original parts. If the machine malfunctions due to other causes than those mentioned in this booklet, disconnect the machine (remove the plug) or break the circuit concerned and contact after-sales service.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION This appliances packaging material is recyclable. Help recycle it and protect the environment by dropping it off in the municipal receptacles provided for this purpose.

Your appliance also contains a great amount of recyclable material. It is marked with this label to indicate that in countries that are a members of the European Union the used appliances should not be mixed with other waste. This way, the appliance recycling organised by your manufacturer will be done under the best possible conditions, in compliance with European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment. Contact your town hall or your retailer for the used appliance collection points

closest to your home. We thank you doing your part to protect the environment.

ECONOMICAL, ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY WASHING Remove any food residue from your crockery (bones, pips, etc.) Do not pre-wash your items by hand (useless waste of water). Utilise your dishwashers capabilities to the full for an economical, environmentally friendly wash. Always select a washing programme suitable for the crockery type and how dirty they are. Avoid overdosing with detergent, regenerating salt and rinsing liquid. Follow the recommendations in this guide (pages 8-14) and the instructions on the product packs. Ensure that the water softener is correctly set (see page 10).

3 / INFORMATIONEN

There are so many different types of product. How can I choose the best one ?

For impeccably clean dishes, you should use a combination of classic products :

Wash product for perfectly clean

dishes (powder or liquid detergent or

standard tablets).

Dishwasher salt for correct

functioning of your dishwashers water

softener.

Rinse aid to help the dishes dry

and eliminate drop marks.

Important : For your dishwasher to provide

excellent washing and drying results and leave no marks, you must correctly adjust it using the water softening system, which works with dishwasher salt.

Scale, when rainwater filters into the soil,

it takes in mineral salts, some of which are

found in solid form and are commonly

referred to as scale. Scale in the water

reduces the detergents washing efficiency,

causes deposits to form on the dishwasher

itself and leaves white marks on the dishes.

The more scale there is in the water, the harder

the water is.

You should use products suited to the water

hardness in your particular area.

Important : Never use normal washing-up liquid.

For ease of use and in certain water hardness conditions only (< 25F), multi-purpose products can make the

use of regenerating salt and rinsing liquid

unnecessary.

Two-in-one tablets contain

detergents and rinsing liquid or an

agent serving the function of the salt.

Three-in-one tablets contain

detergents and rinsing liquid as well as

an agent serving the function of the salt.

Four-in-one Five-in-one tablets... also contain additives to

prevent wear to glasses (i.e. to stop

them clouding), risk of corrosion and

discolouring of stainless steel.

Important : Follow the instructions in the users

manual and the recommendations on the multi-purpose detergents pack.

NB : If in any doubt, please contact the

detergents manufacturer if the items are very wet at the end of the programme or if chalky deposits appear.

RELATING TO PROGRAMMING, DISPLAY

Problem Possible Causes What to do ? The cycle lasts too long - lThe energy-saving program-

mes last longer because the agitation and drying times are longer to compensate for the lower washing and drying tem- peratures

- Use these programmes prefe- rably at night when it is not so important how long the pro- gramme lasts or when it ends.

The appliance trips the circuit breaker

- Insufficient amperage to sup- ply all the appliances being operated simultaneously.

- Internal fault in the appliance.

- Check the sockets amperage (10A minimum) and the meters capacity.

- Call a technician.

- Remove all the filters and clean them (in warm water), including the micro filters screen (once a month).

- Remove the spray arm by turn- ing the lever a quarter of a turn and clean it under the tap (do not use any tool that could damage the holes). Re-install the spray arm.

Traces of grease - Detergent dose too low; ineffi- cient detergent; stale product.

- Inappropriate programme (temperature too low; duration too short).

- Increase the dose; try another detergent.

- Select a programme with a higher temperature.

POOR WASHING RESULTS

Problem Possible Causes What to do? The appliance will not restart - Door opened during a

- Check that the stopper on the salt container is closed correctly.

White marks (identify what type)

- Glass cloudy because water too soft (cannot be removed).

- Check the water hardness at the tap and that the water sof- tener is set correctly. Some detergents in pellet form are more aggressive to glasses and decorations (change the product and use a protective product if necessary).

Coloured marks (tea, wine, coffee)

- Items poorly arranged

- Detergent dose too low; ineffi- cient detergent

- Programme temperature too low.

- If you use a multifunction product.

- Turn the cavities in the items towards the jets.

- Increase the dose; try another detergent.

- Select a more suitable programme with a higher temperature.

Problem Possible Causes What to do? A lot of droplets on the glasses. - Lack or insufficient amount of

rinsing product. - The dose has not been distrib-

uted.

- Positioning of the items.

- Check the indicator light and fill the tank completely.

- If the tank is not empty after approximately 60 washings, call a technician.

- To alleviate the phenomenon, arrange the items to restrict water retention as much as possible. Leave the door ajar for a few minutes, if possible

Droplets on plastic items, Tefal coatings, etc.

- These insulating items have a low calorific mass.

- Arrange them preferably in the upper basket.

Poorer drying on rapid programmes

- On rapid programmes, the drying temperature and drying period are reduced to cut down the duration of the cycle as much as possible.

- Select a rapid programme carefully or leave the door ajar for a few minutes.

Condensation on the wall of the inside door or the tub.

- Condensation may form on the walls, particularly after the appliance has cooled down (sound insulation increases the phenomenon)

POOR DRYING RESULTS

POOR OPERATION

Problem Possible Causes What to do ? Constant filling

A lot of waste on the large filter at the end of the cycle.

- Drain wand fallen on the floor. - Drain hole situated too low for the appliance (Cf. table fault d12).

- The filters and drain outlets are blocked with too much residue.

- Check the installation of drain
