Your dishwasher is fitted with safety systems protecting you from flood-

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. This system cuts off the water supply if a

leak is detected under the machine.

The OVERALL SAFETY DEVICE: The water supply hose is fitted with

a mechanism that cuts off the water supply directly at the tap if a water

leak occurs.

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.

Settings on the control panel

Press the “

” button to set the

water softener: a long

tings” and 3 short press-

es for the water soften-

er. The water softener’s

setting is then shown on

the display.

• Press the Programmes button to change the setting

• The setting is confirmed automatically after 10 seconds without having

to press the Programmes button again.

The display shows the water’s hardness in accordance with the above

table.

When the machine is first switched on, the setting is 10 - 25° ( on

the display)

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.

Présentation de votre lave-vaisselle

What to do before using the machine for the first time

See Page 18-20 : symbol

indicating the level of regener-

ating salt:

After you have refilled the salt

reservoir, this symbol may still

flash 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

operation using the sample).

If the water is especial-

ly 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.

Contents: 120 ml (approx. one glass)

Should any regenerating salt

overflow when filling, mop up the

excess to avoid foam forming.

➀➀

Filling

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

See Page 18-20: symbol indicating the level of rinse aid.

Adjustment (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)

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.

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

levels set correctly according to use level of water hardness.

Tablets

Place the tablet in the compartment.

underneath the top basket.

Only use the washing

products specially desi-

gned 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.

Présentation de votre lave-vaisselle

Loading the dishwasher

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

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.

Présentation de votre lave-vaisselle

Loading the dishwasher

Important note:

For safety reasons, we recommend that you arrange any

knives with pointed ends point downwards in the cutlery bas-

kets (to avoid accidents).

Any long-bladed knives and other sharp kitchen utensils should

be placed flat in the upper basket.

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).

Cutlery

Removable lids are available if you wish

to organise the loading of your cutlery.

For optimum washing and drying, use

these separation lids 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.

Adjusting to the HIGH POSITION:

Gently lift the basket until you hear

the first “Click” on both sides.

Adjusting to the LOW POSITION:

Lift the basket at the back on both sides

(“Click”) and then gently lower it.

Depending on the model: when loading large plates into the lower

basket, you may have to adjust the height of the upper basket. This

can be done even when the basket is full.

Check that the slides are both at the same height and that the basket is level.

The upper basket

This basket is designed in particular to

take: glasses, cups, ramekins, small

salad bowls, bowls, saucers, etc.

You can also place cups, ladles, etc. on

the foldaway brackets as well as a

cutlery basket.

Arrange stemmed glasses along the wire

shelf.

Place glasses,

cups and bowls

facing downwards.

The wire tray enables you to load cutlery of all sizes. You can lay it in

the lower basket or in the upper one by removing the cup supports.

To make loading easier, move the tray to position

and then return it

to position
