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.

• 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

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.
-
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.

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.
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.
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.

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.

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.

Loading the dishwasher
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
.
