Disposal, Prior to using for the first time

Disposal

Dispose of the dishwasher packaging material correctly. All packaging materials can be recycled.

Plastic parts are marked with standard international abbreviations:

>PE<	for polyethylene, e.g. sheet wrapping material.
>PS<	for polystyrene, e.g. padding material (always CFC-
	free).

>POM< for polyoxymethylene, e.g. plastic clips.

Cardboard packaging is manufactured from recycled paper and should be deposited in the waste paper collection for recycling.

As and when you cease to use your dishwasher and withdraw it from service, your should render it unserviceable before having it disposed of.

Warning! Children at play could lock themselves in your dishwasher or otherwise endanger their lives. Therefore cut off the power supply cable and make the door closing device unusable to prevent children from being trapped inside.

For the disposing of the appliance please take it to a recycling centre or to your dealer who will, for a small contribution to the costs, dispose it for you.

Economical and ecological dishwashing

●Ensure that the water softener is correctly adjusted.

●Do not pre-wash under running water.

●Select the wash programme to suit the nature and degree of the soiling on the dishes.

●Do not use more detergent, special salt and rinse aid than is recommended in these operating instructions and by the manufacturer of the respective product.

Prior to using for the first time

Before using your dishwasher for the first time:

1.Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply with the installation instructions

2.Remove all packaging from inside the appliance

3.Set the water softener

4.Pour 1 litre of water inside the salt container and then fill with salt

5.Fill the rinse aid dispenser

6.Run a "Rinse and Hold" programme (not all models of dishwashers are foreseen with this programme)

Only for dishwasher models with salt refilling indicator light:

If the water softener has been adjusted on level 1 and no salt is being used, the salt refilling indicator light on the control panel, will always remain illuminated when the machine is switched on.

Setting the water softener

1.Open the dishwasher door.

2.Remove the lower basket from the dishwasher.

3. Turn the water hardness switch until the required level (see table) corresponds with the marker .

The water softener

The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener designed to remove minerals and salts from the water supply, which would have a detrimental or adverse effect on the operation of the appliance.

The higher the content of these salts, the harder your water is. Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, German degrees, French degrees and PPM (parts per Million).

The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water in your area. Your local Water Authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area.

The dishwasher is factory set at position 2.

4.Replace the lower basket.

german degrees	french degrees	parts per million

41 - 50	71 - 90	701 - 900	level 5	yes
30 - 40	51 - 70	501 - 700	level 4	yes
19 - 29	31 - 50	301 - 500	level 3	yes
4 - 18	8 - 30	80 - 300	level 2	yes
< 4	< 8	< 80	level 1	no

If your water is below level 1 it is already soft and therefore there is no need to use salt. In this case adjust the water softener on level 1 without using salt.

Filling with salt

Special salt can be added in one of two ways:

●If you are using dishwasher detergent that already contains salt, the detergent including the salt is placed in the detergent compartment.

-In this case the water softener must be set to level 1 to ensure that the special salt is taken from the detergent container only.

●If you are using dishwasher detergent and salt separately, the special salt is to be put into the salt container.

-In this case the water softener must be set to between level 1 and 5 (depending on the water hardness in your area) to ensure that the special salt is taken from the salt container only.
