• Page 6: Control panel features various indicators and buttons essential for operation. The on/off indicator shows the power status of the device. The programme marker indicates the selected programme. The start button initiates the selected programme. The programme knob allows users to select different programmes. The delay button sets a delayed start for the programme. The drying phase indicator shows when a drying programme is selected and operates. The salt indicator signals when the salt container needs refilling. The rinse aid indicator indicates when the rinse aid dispenser requires refilling. The washing and rinsing phase indicators show the current phase of the operation.
• Page 7: Programme phases include prewash, dishwashing, intermediate rinse, final rinse, and drying. The standard programme is designed for normal soil and is the most efficient for water and energy consumption. Automatic door opening occurs during the drying phase. A quick rinse programme is available to prevent odours without using detergent. Consumption values include water usage, energy consumption, and duration for various programmes. The document outlines specific temperatures for dishwashing and rinsing phases. Different programmes cater to varying levels of soil on crockery and cutlery. AirDry is a feature mentioned for drying processes. The document provides details on the efficiency of the dishwasher in compliance with regulations. It includes specific values for water, energy, and duration for each programme.
• Page 8: The pressure and the temperature of the water, the variations of the mains supply, the options, the quantity of dishes and the degree of soil can change the values. The values for programmes other than ECO are indicative only. To receive the necessary information for conducting performance tests, send an email including the product number code from the rating plate. After activation, the appliance is in programme selection mode by default. Settings available in the user mode include the level of water softener according to the water hardness and activation or deactivation of the rinse aid empty notification. The water softener removes minerals from the water supply, which would have a negative effect on the washing results and on the appliance. Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales. The saved settings remain valid until you change them again. Your local water authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area. Set the right level of the water softener to assure good washing results.
• Page 9: German degrees French degrees Water softener level Do not use salt at this level. Set the proper water hardness level to keep the salt refill indicator active. Multi-tabs containing salt are not effective enough to soften hard water. Regeneration process is automatic and part of normal dishwasher operation. A new regeneration process will be initiated after a prescribed quantity of water has been used. Rinsing of the water softener lasts 5 minutes and increases total water and energy consumption. All consumption values are determined in line with applicable standards under laboratory conditions.
• Page 10: How to set the water softener level The appliance must be in programme selection mode. Press to change the setting. To confirm the setting, keep turning the programme knob until the programme marker is back in the on/off position. It is possible to set the released quantity of rinse aid between level 1 (minimum quantity) and level 8 (maximum quantity). Level 0 deactivates the rinse aid dispenser and no rinse aid is released. The rinse aid helps to dry the dishes without streaks and stains. When the rinse aid chamber is empty, the rinse aid indicator turns on. AirDry improves the drying results with less energy consumption. The appliance door opens automatically during the drying phase and remains ajar.
• Page 11: How to deactivate AirDry The appliance must be in programme selection mode. Make sure that the programme marker on the knob is set to the on/off position. AirDry is automatically activated with all programmes other than (if applicable). The indicator shows the current setting: is on = AirDry is activated. Do not try to close the appliance door within 2 minutes after automatic opening. If children have access to the appliance, we advise to deactivate AirDry. Before first use, make sure that the current level of the water softener agrees with the hardness of the water supply. Use rough salt designed for dishwashers only. The salt is used to recharge the resin in the water softener and to assure good washing results in daily use. After starting the programme, the appliance recharges the resin in the water softener for up to 5 minutes.
• Page 12: How to fill the rinse aid dispenser Carefully shake the funnel by its handle to get the last granules inside. The compartment is for rinse aid only. Do not fill it with detergent. Only use rinse aid designed specifically for dishwashers. Press the release element to open the lid. Pour the rinse aid in the dispenser until the liquid reaches the marking FILL. Remove the spilled rinse aid with an absorbent cloth to prevent excessive foam formation. Close the lid. Make sure that the lid locks into position. Water and salt can come out of the salt container when you fill it. Only use detergent designed specifically for dishwashers. Set the correct programme for the type of load and the degree of soil.
• Page 13: Put the detergent in the compartment. You can use detergent in tablets, powder or gel. If the programme has a prewash phase, put a small quantity of detergent on the inner part of the appliance door. Make sure that there is detergent in the detergent dispenser before you start a new programme. Press and hold until the light related to the button starts to flash. For information about the detergent dosage, refer to the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging of the product. Opening the door while a programme is running stops the appliance. The Auto Off function decreases energy consumption by deactivating automatically the appliance when it is not operating. When the programme is complete, the Auto Off function switches the appliance off. During the countdown, it is not possible to change the programme. Press and hold until the light related to the button starts to flash to cancel the programme.
• Page 14: Hints and tips for optimal cleaning and drying results include using the correct quantity of detergent and rinse aid. Insufficient detergent can lead to poor cleaning results and hard-water filming. Overusing detergent with soft water can cause residues on dishes. Loading the dishwasher to full capacity saves water and energy, and pre-rinsing dishes by hand is not recommended. Remove larger food residues before loading dishes and ensure items do not touch each other in the baskets. You can use multi-tablets or separate detergent, rinse aid, and salt, following packaging instructions. Adjust the water softener level to prevent rust on cutlery. Select a washing program based on the load type and soil degree for efficient water and energy use. Avoid washing items made of wood, horn, or unprotected carbon steel in the dishwasher. Use only dishwasher-specific salt, rinse aid, and detergent to prevent appliance damage.
• Page 15: The correct quantity of detergent is used. Make sure that the spray arms can move freely before you start a programme. Let the tableware cool down before you remove it from the appliance. First remove items from the lower basket, then from the upper basket. The filters are clean and correctly installed. The arrangement of the items in the baskets is correct. Before maintenance, deactivate the appliance and disconnect the mains plug from the main socket. Dirty filters and clogged spray arms decrease the washing results. Clean the appliance with a moist soft cloth and only use neutral detergents. Using short-duration programmes regularly can cause grease and limescale buildup inside the appliance.
• Page 16: Reassemble the filters B and C. Put back the filter B in the flat filter A. Remove the filter C out of filter B. Remove the flat filter A. Wash the filters. An incorrect position of the filters can cause bad washing results and damage to the appliance. We recommend to clean the lower spray arm regularly to prevent soil from clogging the holes. Make sure that there are no residues of food or soil in or around the edge of the sump. Wash the spray arm under running water. Use a thin pointed tool, e.g. a toothpick, to remove particles of soil from the holes.
• Page 17: To install the spray arm back, press it downwards. Wash the spray arm under running water. Use a thin pointed tool, e.g. a toothpick, to remove particles of soil from the holes. We recommend cleaning the upper spray arms regularly to prevent soil from clogging the holes. Clogged holes can cause unsatisfactory washing results. The upper spray arms are placed under the upper basket. To install the spray arm back, insert the mounting element in the spray arm and fix it in the duct by turning it counterclockwise. Make sure that the mounting element locks into place. Pull out the upper basket. To detach the spray arm, turn the mounting element clockwise.
