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 pollution.
Fill with detergent 
1. Open the lid.
2. Fill the detergent dispenser (1)
with detergent. The marking
indicates the dosing levels:20 = approximately 20 g of
detergent
30 = approximately 30 g of
detergent
3. All programmes with prewash
need an additional detergent dose
(5/10 g) that must be placed in the
prewash detergent chamber (2).
This detergent will take effect
during the prewash phase.
When using detergent tablets;
place the tablet in compartment (1)
4. Close the lid and press until it
locks in place.
Detergent tablets
Detergent tablets from different
manufactures dissolve at different
rates. For this reason, some detergent
tablets do not attain their full cleaning
power during short washing
programmes. Therefore, please use
long washing programmes when
using detergent tablets, to ensure the
complete removal of detergent
residuals.

Unloading the dishwasher
Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks.
The dishes should therefore be
allowed to cool down before
removing from the appliance.
Empty the lower basket first and
then the upper one; this will avoid
water dripping from the upper
basket onto the dishes in the lower
one.
Water may appear on the sides
and the door of the dishwasher as
the stainless steel will eventually
become cooler than the dishes.
When the washing programme has
finished, it is recommended that
the dishwasher is unplugged and
the water tap turned off.

Washing programmes information
"Auto" washing programme
During the "Auto" washing
programme the amount of soil on the
dishes is determined by how cloudy
the water is.
If the appliance is partially loaded and
the dishes lightly soiled, the
"prewash", "main wash", and "rinse"
phases of the programme are shorter
and the water consumption level is
lower.
If the appliance is fully loaded and the
dishes heavily soiled, the "prewash",
"main wash", and "rinse" phases of
the programme are longer and the
water consumption level is higher.
For this reason the programme
duration, water and energy
consumption levels can vary within
the stated range for "Auto"
programme (see "Washing
programmes chart").
During the "Auto" programme the
temperature of the main wash water
is also automatically adjusted
between 50°C and 65°C depending
on the amount of soil on the dishes.

Care and cleaning
Cleaning the filters
The filters must be checked and
cleaned from time to time. Dirty filters
will degrade the washing result.
Before cleaning the filters ensure
that the machine is switched off.
1. Open the door, remove the lower
basket.
2. The dishwasher filter system
comprises a coarse filter (A), a
microfilter (B) and a flat filter.
Unlock the filter system using the
handle on the microfilter, and
remove.
3. Turn the handle about 
1/4a turn
anticlockwise and remove.
4. Take hold of the coarse filter (A)
by the handle with the hole and
remove from the microfilter (B).
5. Clean all filters thoroughly under
running water.
6. Remove the flat filter from the
base of the washing compartment
and clean both faces thoroughly.
7. Put the flat filter back in the base
of the washing compartment and
ensure that it fits perfectly.
8. Place the coarse filter (A) in the
microfilter (B) and press together.
9. Put the filter combination in place
and lock by turning the handle
clockwise to the stop. During this
process ensure that the flat filter
does not protrude above the base
of the washing compartment.
Under no circumstances may the
dishwasher be used without filters.
Incorrect repositioning and fitting of
the filters will produce poor washing
results.
