OPERATING THE APPLIANCE
Basic operation
• To open the appliance, grasp the handle.
• Check that the filters in the base of the appliance
are fitted correctly and are not blocked.
• Put the items to be washed in the rack and cutlery
basket.
º Glasses must always be turned upside down so
water runs off easily.
º
Glasses should not be put over the pins, which
are intended for plates. The pins do not provide
sufficient support, which means glasses may fall
over and be damaged.
º Always place sharp knives with the blade
downwards in the cutlery basket to avoid cutting
yourself.
º Very dirty dishes should be rinsed off before
putting them in the machine. Ensure that large
food residues are removed to prevent them
blocking the filter in the base of the appliance.
• Check that the dishwasher arm moves freely and
can turn a complete circle.
• Fill dishwasher detergent in the main dishwasher
detergent compartment (4), using the measuring
compartment.
º As a guideline, use one measure of detergent per
wash cycle, but check local guidelines for
your area. Check also with your local waterworks
and read the manufacturer’s instructions on the
detergent pack.
º If there is heavy food residue on the dishes,
add extra detergent in the secondary dishwasher
detergent compartment (5).
º Never use dishwasher tabs with short programs.
The tabs may not dissolve completely and are
therefore not effective for use with short
programs.
• Close the door. Check that the door is closed
properly before continuing.
• Check that the water supply is connected and on.
• Select wash program: Turn the Program button (1)
until the indicator for the correct program lights up.
See program overview below.
• Press the Power button (b) to start the appliance.
º
The indicator light (a) lights up when the
appliance is switched on.
• Once the program is finished, the appliance stops
automatically. An acoustic signal sounds for 8
seconds when the wash cycle is complete.
• Switch off the appliance by pressing the Power
button (off).
Wash program overview
Select one of the appliance’s 6 wash programs: Press
the Program button until the indicator lights up for the
program you require.
Temporary interruption of wash program
• Any wash program can be temporarily interrupted at
any time by pressing the Start/Reset button (k).
• When the wash program is interrupted, an acoustic
signal sounds once a minute until the appliance is
restarted. To restart, close the door (if it has been
opened) and press the start/reset button. The
appliance restarts after 10 seconds.
• When the wash program is interrupted, you can
switch to another wash program by pressing the
program selector button.
After each wash program
• The power to the appliance remains on until it is
interrupted by pressing the Power button.
• Then allow the dishes to cool for approximately 15
minutes before emptying the appliance.
• Once the appliance is empty, check the filter in
the base of the appliance for impurities. Clean if
necessary.
Some useful advice
• Dishes will dry quicker if the door is opened slightly
after the wash program has finished.
• Be sure to rinse dishes after use. Dishes with dried-
on food are more difficult to clean using a normal
program.
• Detergent loses its detergency over time. If your
detergent is very old or lumpy, it should be replaced.
