If you want to use combi detergenttablets such as '3 in 1', '4 in 1', '5 in 1'etc. set the Multi tab function (see'Multi tab function').

The water softenerThe dishwasher is equipped with a watersoftener designed to remove minerals andsalts from the water supply, which wouldhave a detrimental or adverse effect on theoperation of the appliance.The higher the content of these minerals andsalts, the harder your water is. Waterhardness is measured in equivalent scales,Clarke degrees, French degrees (°TH) andmmol/l (millimol per litre - international unitfor the hardness of water).The softener should be adjusted accordingto the hardness of the water in your area.Your local Water Authority can advise youon the hardness of the water in your area.

Filling with dishwashersalt

Warning! Only use salt specificallydesigned for use in dishwashers. Allother types of salt not specificallydesigned for use in a dishwasher,especially table salt, will damage thewater softener. Only fill with salt justbefore starting one of the completewashing programmes. This willprevent any grains of salt or saltywater, which may have been spilt,remaining on the bottom of themachine for any period of time,which may cause corrosion.

To fill:1. Open the door, remove the lower

basket and unscrew the cap of the saltcontainer by turning it anticlockwise.

13

2. Pour 1 litre of water into the container(this is necessary only before fillingwith salt for the first time).

3. Using the funnel provided, pour in thesalt until the container is full.

4. Replace the cap making sure that there isno trace of salt on the screw thread oron the gasket.

5. Replace the cap tightly turning itclockwise until it stops with a click.

Do not worry if water overflowsfrom the unit when filling with salt,this is quite normal.

The salt indicator light on the controlpanel can remain on for a few hoursafter the salt has been replenished,assuming the dishwasher remainsswitched on. If you are using salt thattakes longer to dissolve then this cantake longer. The operation of themachine is not affected.

• When loading the dishes and cutlery,please note:

– Dishes and cutlery must not impedethe rotation of the spray arms.

– Load hollow items such as cups,glasses, pans, etc. with the openingdownwards so that water cannotcollect in the container or a deep base.

– Dishes and items of cutlery must not lieinside one another or cover eachother.

– To avoid damage to glasses, they mustnot touch.

– Lay small objects in the cutlery basket.• Plastic items and pans with non stick

coatings have a tendency to retain waterdrops; these items will not dry as well asporcelain and steel items.

• Light items (plastic bowls etc.) must beloaded in the upper basket and arrangedso they do not move.

For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery and dishes

are not suitable: are of limited suitability:

• Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or mother-of-pearls handles.

• Plastic items that are not heat resistant.

• Items made from synthetics fibres.

• Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it isspecially marked as being dishwasher-safe bythe manufacturer.

• Glazed patterns may fade if machine washedfrequently.

• Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency todiscolour during washing: Residues, e.g. eggwhite, egg yolk and mustard often causediscolouring and staining on silver. Thereforealways clean left-overs from silverimmediately, if it is not to be washed straightafter use.

16

The lower basketThe lower basket is designed to takesaucepans, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery,etc.Serving dishes and large lids should bearranged around the edge of the basket,ensuring that the spray arms can turn freely.

The rows of prongs in the lower basket canlie flat to allow you to load pots, pans andbowls.

The cutlery basket

Warning! Long bladed knivesstored in an upright position are apotential hazard. Long and/or sharpitems of cutlery such as carving knivesmust be positioned horizontally in theupper basket. Take care whenloading or unloading sharp items suchas knives. Forks and spoons shouldbe placed in the removable cutlerybasket with the handles facingdownwards and the knives with theirhandles facing upwards

Mix spoons with other cutlery to preventthem from sticking together.To unload your dishwasher more easily, youcan take the cutlery basket out of the lowerbasket and unfold it. This makes it easier toremove small pieces of cutlery.

To prevent the full cutlery basketfrom inadvertently unfolding whenbeing taken out, place your handright round the two-piece handle andhold it firmly.

17

1. Place the cutlery basket on a firmsupport (table, worktop) and unfoldboth handle parts.

2. After unfolding, fold back both handleparts.

Your localWater Authority will advise you on theaverage mains pressure in your area.The water inlet hose must not be kinked,crushed, or entangled when it is beingconnected.The appliance features inlet and drain hoseswhich can be turned either to the left or theright to suit the installation by means of thelocknut. The locknut must be correctlyfitted to avoid water leaks.

NOT all models of dishwashers haveinlet and drain hoses provided with alocknut.

If the appliance is connected to new pipes orpipes which have not been used for a longtime, you should run the water for a fewminutes before connecting the inlet hose.DO NOT use connection hoses whichhave previously been used on an oldappliance.

This appliance has been fitted withsafety features which will prevent thewater used in the appliance fromreturning back into the drinking watersystem. This appliance complies withthe applicable plumbing regulations.

Water drain connectionThe end of the drain hose can be connectedin the following ways:1. To the sink outlet spigot, securing it to
