Important safety information It is most important that this instruction book should be retained with the appliance for future reference. Should the appliance be sold or transferred to another owner, or should you move house and leave the appliance, always ensure that the book is left with the appliance in order that the new owner can get to know the functioning of the appliance and the relevant safety information. This information has been provided in the interest of your safety.

To deactivate these audible signals, press the "Delay start" push button for about 3 seconds, at the end of which an intermittent audible signal informs you that the audible signals have been deactivated. Audible signals Audible signals have been introduced to help indicate which operations the dishwasher is performing.
To select a different level be sure that the dishwasher is off and then proceed as follows: Rinse aid Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying. The dispenser, which is positioned inside the door, holds about 110 ml of rinse aid, which is sufficient for 16 - 40 dishwashing programmes, depending upon the dosage setting. 1. Press the "On/Off" push button. 2.
Use of detergent Only use detergents specifically designed for use in dishwashers. If using powder detergents proceed as follows: 1. Open the dispenser lid by pulling the catch (D). 2. Add the detergent according to the recommended quantity given in the "Washing programmes" chart. As all detergents are not the same, you should also consult the instructions given on the packet. 3. Always close the lid. 4.
Using your appliance Cutlery should be placed in the removable cutlery basket with the handles facing downwards. If the handles protrude from the bottom of the basket, obstructing the lower spray arm, load the cutlery with the handles facing upwards. Ensure that cutlery is positioned in the compartments and that soiled surfaces do not touch each other. Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent them from sticking together. Silver cutlery tends to go black if mixed with steel cutlery.
To lower the basket to the original position proceed as follows: Adjusting the height of the upper basket If washing very large plates (over 27 cm and up to 32 cm in diameter) you can load them in the lower basket after moving the upper basket to the higher position. 1. Pull out the basket until it stops. 2. Carefully lift both sides upwards and the allow the mechanism to drop back slowly, keeping hold of it. Attention! Never lift or lower the basket on one side only.

Operating sequence 1. Check the filters 7a. Setting and starting the programme without "delay start" Ensure they are clean and properly positioned (see "Maintenance and cleaning"). Press the push button corresponding to the required programme, all the phase indicator lights for that programme illuminate. In the digital display appears the time duration of the programme (in minutes). 2. Press the On/Off push button The On/Off indicator light will illuminate.
8. At the end of the washing programme The dishwasher will automatically stop and an intermittent audible signal informs you that the programme has ended. In the digital diplay will appear three zeros (000) and all the indicator lights of the phases and of the programme will turn off. The On/Off indicator light remains on until the On/Off push button is depressed. Wait a few minutes before opening the dishwasher’s door; in this way the dishes will be cooler and you will avoid burning yourself.
Maintenance and cleaning The dishwasher must not be used without filters. Incorrect repositioning and fitting of the filters will produce poor washing results. Cleaning the filters is vital to ensure correct operation of the machine. Internal cleaning Ensure that the seals around the door, the detergent and rinse aid dispensers are cleaned regularly with a damp cloth. We recommend every 3 months to run a 65°C wash programme without dishes using detergent.
Something not working Certain problems are due to lack of simple maintenance or oversights, which can be solved easily without calling out an engineer. The dishwasher is fitted with a number of alarm systems which can help you to quickly determine the cause of any problems.
If after all these checks, the problem persists, contact your local Service Force Centre, quoting the model and serial number. This information can be found on the rating plate located on the right hand side of the dishwasher door (see picture).

In the water inlet hose (see "Water supply connections").
