Saving energy and respecting the environment Saving water and energy • Only begin a wash cycle when the dishwasher is full. While waiting for the dishwasher to be filled, prevent unpleasant odours with the Soak cycle (if available, see Wash Cycles). • Select a wash cycle that is suited to the type of crockery and to the soil level using the Table of Wash Cycles: - For dishes with a normal soil level, use the Eco wash cycle, which guarantees low energy and water consumption levels.
Installation GB If the appliance must be moved at any time, keep it in an upright position; if absolutely necessary, it may be tilted onto its back. Positioning and levelling 1. Position the dishwasher on a level sturdy floor. If the floor is uneven, the front feet of the appliance may be adjusted until it reaches a horizontal position. If the appliance is levelled correctly, it will be more stable and much less likely to move or cause vibrations and noise while it is operating. 2.
Electrical connection Before inserting the plug into the electrical socket, make sure that: • The socket is earthed and complies with current regulations; • the socket can withstand the maximum load of the appliance as shown on the data plate located on the inside of the door (see chapter Description of the appliance); • The power supply voltage falls within the values indicated on the data plate on the inside of the door. • The socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance.

Refined Salt and Rinse Aid GB Only use products which have been specifically designed for dishwashers. Do not use table salt or industrial salt. Follow the instructions given on the packaging. If you are using a multi-function product, we recommend that you add salt in any case, especially if the water is hard or very hard. (Follow the instructions given on the packaging.) If you do not add salt or rinse aid, the LOW SALT* and LOW RINSE AID* indicator lights will remain lit.
Loading the racks Tips Before loading the racks, remove all food residues from the crockery and empty liquids from glasses and containers. No preventive rinsing is needed under running water. Arrange the crockery so that it is held in place firmly and does not tip over; and arrange the containers with the openings facing downwards and the concave/convex parts placed obliquely, thus allowing the water to reach every surface and flow freely.
GB Tip-up compartments with adjustable position* The side tip-up compartments can be positioned at three different heights to optimize the arrangement of crockery inside the rack. Wine glasses can be placed safely in the tip-up compartments by inserting the stem of each glass into the corresponding slot. For optimum drying results incline the tip-up compartments more. To change the inclination, pull up the tipup compartment, slide it slightly and position it as you wish.
Detergent and dishwasher use Measuring out the detergent Good washing results also depend on the correct amount of detergent being used. Exceeding the stated amount does not result in a more effective wash and increases environmental pollution. The amount can be adjusted to the soil level. In the case of normally soiled items, use approximately either 35g (powder detergent) or 35ml (liquid detergent). If tablets are used, one tablet will be enough.
Wash cycles GB Wash-cycle data is measured under laboratory conditions according to European Standard EN 50242. Based on the different conditions of use, the wash-cycle duration and data can change. The number and type of wash cycles and options may vary depending on the dishwasher model. Wash cycle which include drying Options Approximate duration of wash cycles H:min. Water consumption (l/cycle) Energy consumption (KWh/cycle) 1.
Special wash cycles and Options Notes: Optimum performance levels when using the “Fast" and "Express 30’” cycles can be achieved by respecting the specified number of place settings. To reduce consumption even further, only run the dishwasher when it is full.
