Manual

Before using your dishwasher for the first time:

1. Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply

with the installation instructions.

2. Remove all packaging from inside the appliance.

3. Set the water softener.

4. Pour 1 litre of water inside the salt container and then fill

with salt.

5. Fill the rinse aid dispenser.

Setting the water softener

The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener designed to

remove minerals and salts from the water supply, which would

have a detrimental or adverse effect on the operation of the

appliance.

The higher the content of these salts, the harder your water is.

Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, Clarke

degrees, French degrees and mmol/l (millimol per litre).

The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of

the water in your area. Your local Water Authority can advise

you on the hardness of the water in your area.

The water softener must be set in both ways: manually, using

the water hardness switch and electronically, using the function

push buttons on the control panel.

a) Setting manually

1. Open the dishwasher door.

2. Remove the lower basket from the dishwasher.

3. Turn the water hardness switch to position 1 or 2 (see

table).

4. Replace the lower basket.

The dishwasher is factory

set at position 2.

b)Setting electronically

(The dishwasher must be switched off)

The dishwasher is factory set at level 5.

1. Press the On/Off push button. The On/Off indicator light

illuminates.

If other push button indicator lights are on, this means that a

wash programme has been selected. The programme must

be cancelled: press simultaneously the function push

buttons 2 and 3 for about 2 seconds. All the indicator lights

will turn off (except for the On/Off indicator light).

2. Press simultaneously function push buttons 2 and 3, until

the indicator lights of the function push buttons 1, 2 and 3

start flashing.

3. Press the function push button 1, the indicator lights of

function push buttons 2 and 3 turn off while the indicator

light of the push button 1 goes on flashing, at the same time

the indicator light END starts to flash.

The current level is indicated by the number of flashes of

the indicator light END.

Example: 5 flashes = level 5

4. To change the level, press push button 1. Each time the

push button is pressed the level changes. (For the selection

of the new level see the chart).

Examples:

if the current level is 5, by pressing push button 1 once,

level 6 is selected.

if the current level is 10, by pressing push button 1 once,

level 1 is selected.

5. To memorise the operation, switch off the dishwasher by

pressing the On/Off push button or wait about 60 seconds

after which the dishwasher will automatically return to

setting mode.

After my dishwasher has finished it's cycle, the container that holds the tablet hasn't opened. How is this possible? Verified

The dishwasher does not heat the water anymore, why is that? Verified

It is likely that the heating element is defective. Have it replaced. When in doubt, contact the manufacturer.

Do I need to rinse my dishes before putting them in the dishwasher? Verified

Rinsing the dishes is not necessary, but you do need to remove any large, hard and fat leftovers. These could clog the drain over time.

This was helpful (1313) Read more

Can I open the dishwasher while it is running? Verified

Most dishwashers are equipped with a water stop, making the program stop immediately when the door is opened and meaning no water will come out. With some models this can cause problems over time. With built-in dishwashers it is possible that frequently opening the dishwasher while running may cause water damage to surrounging cabinets because of the steam that is released.

Should I open the dishwasher after it finished running to have the dishes dry quicker? Verified

This depends on the type of dishwasher and the location of the dishwasher. Some dishwashers are equipped with a feature that dries the dishes after the washing program. In that case opening the dishwasher will have no added value. With built-in dishwashers it is possible that frequently opening the dishwasher while running may cause water damage to surrounging cabinets because of the steam that is released.

After the dishwaser has finished its cycle, the plastic dishes are still wet but the rest isn't. Why is that? Verified

Plastic is a bad conductor of heat, allowing the products to cool down quickly. The moisture that remains on it then evaporates far less than for example on ceramics or metal.

Can I connect a dishwasher to an extension cord? Verified

Appliances that require large amounts of power, like a dishwasher, can not be connected to all extension cords. See what the power usage of the dishwasher is, which is indicated in Watt, and check if the extension cord cn handle this. There are extension cords with thicker cables that are made to handle larger appliances.

Is it a problem to have scratches on the metal on the inside of the dishwasher? Verified

The inside of most dishwashers is made of stainless steel and are not affected by scratches.

This was helpful (688) Read more

Can I put pans with Teflon in the dishwasher? Verified

Yes, you can. However, the pan will wear faster than when it is cleaned by hand. When cleaning a pan with Teflon by hand, never use a scourer but use a soft sponge or cloth.

Can I put wooden objects such as spatulas and cutting boards in the dishwasher? Verified

No. Wooden objects can get damaged or warped in a dishwasher. Also, the wood fibres that come free might damage the dishwasher. Wooden cutting boards are often made with glue that can come loose after being in the dishwasher several times.
