Examples: if the current level is 5, by pressing button A once, level 6 is selected. if the current level is 10, by pressing button A once, level 1 is selected.
Use of rinse aid Use of rinse aid WARNING! Only use branded rinse aid for dishwashers. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances (e.g. dishwasher clean- ing agent, liquid detergent). This would damage the appliance. Rinse aid ensures thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying. Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse.
Daily use Adjusting the dosage of rinse aid According to the finish and drying results obtained, adjust the dose of rinse aid by means of the 6 position selector (position 1= minimum dosage, position 6= maxi- mum dosage). The dose is factory set in position 4. Increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on the dishes after washing.

Loading cutlery and dishes • When loading the dishes and cutlery, please note: – Dishes and cutlery must not impede the rotation of the spray arms. – Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans, etc. with the opening down- wards so that water cannot collect in the container or a deep base.
Loading cutlery and dishes The lower basket Load larger and heavily soiled dishes and pans in the lower basket. To make it easier to load larger dishes, all rear plate racks in the lower basket can be folded down. The cutlery basket WARNING! Sharp knives and other items of cutlery with sharp edges must be laid in the cutlery tray or in the upper basket because of the risk of injury.

Loading cutlery and dishes 1. Place the grid insert on the cutlery basket. 2. Place forks and spoon in the cutlery basket with their handles pointing downwards. For larger utensils, such as whisks, leave off one half of the cutlery grid. The cutlery basket can be opened out.
Loading cutlery and dishes The upper basket Load smaller, fragile crockery and long, sharp cutlery in the upper basket. • Arrange items of crockery on and under the folding cup racks so that they are offset from each other and water can reach all items.
Loading cutlery and dishes • The row of spikes on the left of the upper basket is also in two parts and can be folded away. Spikes not folded away: place glasses, mugs etc. in the upper basket. Spikes folded away: more room for serv- ing dishes.
Use of detergent Use of detergent Only use detergents specifically designed for use in dishwashers. Please observe the manufacturer's dosing and storage recommendations as stated on the detergent packaging. Using no more than the correct amount of detergent contributes to reducing pol- lution.
Multi-Tab function 4. When using detergent tablets, place the tablet in compartment (1) 5. Close the lid and press until it locks in place. Detergent tablets Detergent tablets from different manu- factures dissolve at different rates.

To deactivate the function press the Multi-tab button again: the indicator light turns off.
Washing programmes If you decide to turn back to the use of standard detergent system we advise that you: 1. Deactivate the "Multi-Tab function". 2. Fill up the salt container and the rinse aid dispenser again. 3. Adjust the water hardness setting to the highest setting and perform 1 normal washing programme without loading any dishes.

Any electrical and/or plumbing work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician and/or plumber or competent person. Remove all packaging before positioning the machine. If possible, position the machine next to a water tap and a drain. This dishwasher is designed to be fitted under a kitchen counter or work surface.
Water supply connections Connection to a cold water supply is advised. If connection is made to a hot water supply the maximum permissible temperature is 60°C. A hot water supply is not always efficient with very soiled crockery as it shortens the washing programmes a lot.
• If water inlet hose or the safety valve is damaged, remove the mains plug immediately. • A water inlet hose with safety valve must only be replaced by a specialist or by the Service Force Centre. • Place the water inlet hose in such a way that it is never higher than the bottom edge of the safety valve.
Electrical connection The total length of the drain hose, including any extension you might add, must be no longer than 4 metres. The internal diameter of the extension hose must be no smaller than the diameter of the hose provided. Likewise the internal diameter of the couplings used for connections to the waste outlet must be no smaller than the diameter of the hose provided.
