Safety Information
Your appliance comes fitted with a plug and a 13A fuse. If you need to
replace the fuse, only those rated at 13A and ASTA approved to
BS1362 should be used. If you lose the fuse cover, a replacement
may be obtained from your local authorised Service Centre or
Electrical company. Correct replacement is identified by colour coding
or the marking on base of plug.
At the time of delivery...
All functions of your dishwasher have been thoroughly tested at the
factory.
A small number of water marks may have been left as
a result, they will disappear when the appliance is
used for the first time.
WARNING: DO NOT use the plug unless the fuse cover is fitted.
WARNING: The dishwasher must not be connected to the
electricity supply while installation is being carried out.
Changing the Plug
-
This appliance should only be connected to a 230/240V AC
source, via a properly installed earthed socket.
Use the dishwasher solely in a domestic environment.
DO NOT stand or place heavy objects on the door when it is
open, this could damage the door or cause the appliance to tip
forward.
Cut off and dispose of the supplied plug if it does not fit your socket.
WARNING: To avoid a shock hazard DO NOT insert the
discarded plug into a socket anywhere else.

by a qualified electrician.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for damage to persons or
property resulting from failure to observe the above precautions, from
tampering with even a single component or from the use of non-

1. Unscrew the salt container cap
2. There is an arrow on the neck of
the container (see figure): if
necessary, turn the arrow anti-
clockwise from the "-" setting
to the "+" setting.
Select the arrow position
depending on the water
hardness, referring to the table.
IMPORTANT:
Only use recommended dish-
washer salt. DO NOT use
everyday table salt, cooking salt,
as they containe insoluable
substances which could harm the
dishwasher.
You don't know how hard the water in your
home is? Ask the company that supplies
water in your area.
Salt
Filling the salt container.
Always use salt which is intended for dishwasher use.
The salt container is situated underneath the lower basket, fill it up as
follows:
1.Pulloutthelowerbasketcompletely, unscrewandremovethecontainer
cap
2. If it is the first time you add the salt, first fill the container up with water
(you won't have to do this again next time)
3. Put the dishwasher funnel on the hole and pour in approximately two
kilos of salt. It is normal that some water comes out of the container.
4. Screw the cap back in place carefully.
When to add salt:
The salt container should be filled up when the low salt indicator light “T”
flashes on the control panel.
When you have loaded salt for the first time, it is normal for the low salt
indicator light to stay on for at least 5 consecutive cycles.
WARNING:
DO NOT pour detergent into the special salt container.
This will destroy the water softener.
Warning
Three-in-one dishwasher tablets are now available on the market, and combine detergent, salt and rinse aid all in one.
If the water in your area is hard or very hard, we still recommend you pour extra salt into the relevant dispenser to prevent
the formation of white streaks on your dishes or on the interior of the appliance.
Using a three-in-one product means it is no longer necessary to put rinse aid into the relevant container.
If you want to achieve perfectly dry dishes, you may add rinse aid as long as the dosage adjuster is set to no.2.
In any case, please read the manufacturer's instructions on the packet.
If you use only these products, it is normal for the salt and rinse aid indicator lights to flash permanently after a certain
number of cycles.

cycle...
This is the formula to get the best results and to keep your dishwasher in
shape.
This means that your dishwasher is equipped
with a sensor which evaluates how dirty your
dishes are and allows these wash cycles to adjust
automatically to provide you with a more efficient
and economic wash cycle.
Note: In the ‘Aquasensor’ wash cycles, the cycles could undergo some
modifications due to the intervention of the sensor which evaluates how
dirty the dishes are and optimises the cycle in accordance.

Troubleshooting
Caution
- Do not forget that repairs should only be carried out by a qualified specialist. Improper repairs can lead to considerable
equipment damage, as well as danger to the user.
- The dishwasher must first be disconnected from the electricity supply before any repairs or other work can be
carried out. Switch off at the mains socket and water supply and remove the plug.
Resolving minor problems yourself.
Experience has shown that you can resolve most problems that arise during normal daily usage yourself,
without having to call out a service engineer. Not only does this save costs but it also means the appliance is
available for use again that much sooner. The following list of common occurences and their remedies should
help you identify the causes of most problems.
If the dishwasher won't
start, check...
■ Isthedishwasherpluggedinat
