CONTROL PANEL

PROGRAMMES

1) With this programme, you have the most efficient use of water and energy consumption for crockery and cutlery with normal soil. This is the standard programme for test institutes.

2) The appliance senses the degree of soil and the quantity of items in the baskets . It auto‐ matically adjusts the temperature and the quantity of water, the energy consumption and the programme duration.

3) With this programme, you can wash a load with mixed soil. Very heavy soil in the lower basket, and normal soil in the upper basket. The pressure and the temperature of the water in the lower basket are higher than in the upper basket.

4) With this programme, you can wash a half-load dishwasher with fresh soil. It gives good washing results in a short time.

5) With this programme, you can quickly rinse dishes to prevent remains of food to bond on dishes and odours to form in the appliance. Do not use detergent with this programme.

Consumption values

1) The pressure and the temperature of the water, the variations of the mains supply, the options and the quantity of dishes can change the values.

Information for test institutes

HINTS AND TIPS

General

The following hints will ensure optimal cleaning and drying results in daily use and also help to protect the environment.

• Remove larger residues of food from the dishes into the waste bin.
• Do not pre-rinse dishes by hand. When needed, use the prewash programme (if available) or select a programme with a prewash phase.
• Always use the whole space of the baskets.
• When loading the appliance, make sure that the dishes can be completely reached and washed by the water released from the spray arm nozzles. Make sure that items do not touch or cover each other.
• You can use dishwasher detergent and rinse aid separately or you can use the multi-tablets. Follow the instructions written on the packaging.
• Select the programme according to the type of load and degree of soil. With the ECO programme you have the most efficient use of water and energy consumption for crockery and cutlery with normal soil.

Using rinse aid and detergent

• Only use rinse aid and detergent for dishwasher. Other products can cause damage to the appliance.
• Detergent tablets do not fully dissolve with short programs. To prevent detergent residues on the tableware, we recommend that you use the tablets with long programs.
• Do not use more than the correct quantity of detergent. Refer to the instructions on the detergent packaging.

Loading the baskets

• Only use the appliance to wash items that are dishwasher-safe.
• Do not put in the appliance items made of wood, horn, aluminium, pewter and copper.
• Do not put in the appliance items that can absorb water (sponges, household cloths).
• Remove remaining food from the items.
• Make soft the remaining burned food on the items.
• Put hollow items (cups, glasses and pans) with the opening down.
• Make sure that cutlery and dishes do not bond together. Mix spoons with other cutlery.
• Make sure that glasses do not touch other glasses.
• Put small items in the cutlery basket.
• Put light items in the upper basket. Make sure that the items do not move.
• Make sure that the spray arm can move freely before you start a programme.

Before starting a programme

Make sure that:

• The filters are clean and correctly installed.
• The spray arms are not clogged.
• There is dishwasher rinse aid (unless you use multi- tablets).
• The position of the items in the baskets is correct.
• The programme is applicable for the type of load and for the degree of soil.
• The correct quantity of detergent is used.

Unloading the baskets

1. For improved drying results with the most efficient use of energy select the AirDry option, otherwise open the door by approximately 10cm at the end of the program.
2. Allow the tableware to cool for 30 - 40 minutes.
3. Hot items can be easily damaged, allow them to cool down before removing from appliance.
4. First remove items from the lower basket then the upper basket.

At the end of the program water can still remain on the sides and on the door of the appliance.

CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING! Before maintenance, deactivate the appliance and disconnect the mains plug from the main socket.

Dirty filters and clogged spray arms decrease the washing results. Make a check regularly and, if necessary, clean them.

Cleaning the filters

The filter system is made of 3 parts.

1. Turn the filter (B) counterclockwise and remove it.

2. Remove the filter (C) out of filter (B).

3. Remove the flat filter (A)

4. Wash the filters.

5. Make sure that there are no residues of food or soil in or around the edge of the sump.

6. Put back in place the flat filter (A). Make sure that it is correctly positioned under the 2 guides.

7. Reassemble the filters (B) and (C).

8. Put back the filter (B) in the flat filter (A). Turn it clockwise until it locks.

CAUTION! An incorrect position of the filters can cause bad washing results and damage to the appliance

Cleaning the upper spray arm

We recommend to clean regularly the upper spray arm to avoid soil to clog the holes.

Clogged holes can cause unsatisfactory washing results.

1. Pull out the upper basket.

2. To disengage the spray arm from the basket, press the spray arm upwards in the direction indicated by the lower arrow and simultaneously turn it clockwise.

3. Wash the spray arm under running water. Use a thin pointed tool, e.g. toothpick, to remove particles of soil from the holes.

4. To engage again the spray arm to the basket, press the spray arm upwards in the direction indicated by the lower arrow and simultaneously turn it counterclockwise until it locks into place.

External cleaning

• Clean the appliance with a moist soft cloth.
• Only use neutral detergents.
• Do not use abrasive products, abrasive cleaning pads or solvents.

Internal cleaning

• Carefully clean the appliance, including the rubber gasket of the door, with a soft damp cloth.
• Do not use abrasive products, abrasive cleaning pads, sharp tools, strong chemicals, scourer or solvents.
• If you use short duration programmes regularly, these can leave deposits of grease and limescale inside the appliance. To prevent this, we recommend running long duration programmes at least twice a month.
• To maintain the performance of your appliance at its best, we recommend using a specific cleaning product for dishwashers (at least once a month). Follow carefully the instructions on the packaging of the product.
