■the effectiveness of detergents containing the built in water softener/salt depends on the hardness of your water supply. Check that the hardness of your water supply is within the effective range given on the detergent packaging.

In certain circumstances use of combined detergents can cause:

■limescale deposits on dishes or in the dishwasher;

■a reduction in washing and drying performance.

Should this occur, we would recommend using traditional separate products – salt, detergent and rinse agent. This will ensure that the water softener in the dishwasher operates correctly.

Please note that on return to the use of conventional salt, a number of cycles will be required before the system becomes fully efficient again.

IMPORTANT

Any problems which arise as a direct result of the use of these products are not covered by our warranty.

CLEANING THE FILTERS

The filter system (fig.A “4”) consists of:

a central container that traps the larger particles;

a flat gauze that continuously filters the wash water;

a micro filter, located beneath the gauze, that traps the tiniest particles ensuring a perfect rinse.

Filling the rinse aid container

The rinse aid, which is automatically released during the last rinsing cycle, helps the dishes to dry quickly and prevents spots and stains forming.

The rinse aid container can be found to the left of the detergent container (fig. A "3").

To open the lid, push the reference mark and, in the same time, pull the tab of opening.

It is always advisable to use rinse aid that is specifically designed for dishwasher. Check the rinse aid level through the indicator eye (C) which is located on the dispenser.

Regulating the rinse aid from 1 to 6

The regulator (D) is placed under the lid and can be turned using a coin.

The recommended position is 4.

The limestone content of the water considerably affects the formation of limescale and the drying performance.

It is therefore important to regulate the quantity of rinse aid to achieve good washing results.

If, after the wash, streaks occur on the dishes, decrease the amount by one position. If whitish spots occur, increase the amount by one position.

■To achieve excellent results every time, the filters should be checked and cleaned after each wash.

■To remove the filter unit, simply turn the handle anticlockwise (fig. 1).

■For ease of cleaning, the central container is removable (fig. 2).

■Remove the gauze filter (fig.3) and wash the whole unit under a jet of water. If necessary a small brush can be used.

■With the Self-cleaning Micro filter, maintenance is reduced and the filter unit need only be checked every two weeks. Nevertheless, after each wash it is advisable to check that the central container and the gauze filter are not clogged.

WARNING!

After cleaning the filters, make sure that they are correctly reassembled and that the gauze filter is properly positioned at the bottom of the dishwasher.

Make sure that the filter is screwed back, clockwise, into the gauze, as poor seating of the filter unit could have an adverse effect on the efficiency of the appliance.

IMPORTANT

Never use the dishwasher without the filters.
