Salt
The hardness of water varies from place to place. If hard water
is used in the dishwasher, deposits will form on the dishes
and utensils.
The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses a
salt specically designed to eliminate lime and minerals from
the water.
Loading the salt into the container
Always use salt intended for use with dishwashers.
The salt container is located beneath the lower rack and
should be lled as follows:
1. When the low salt indicator (Fig.2-3) lights, you must ll
the salt. Remove the lower rack and then unscrew and
remove the cap from the salt container.
Note: If you are lling the container for the rst time, ll
it with water.
2. Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole
and introduce about 2 kg of salt. It is normal for a small
amount of water to come out of the salt container.
3. Carefully screw the cap back on.
IMPORTANT: To prevent the formation of rust, load the salt
just before beginning a wash cycle.
Adjusting salt consumption
The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjusting the amount
of salt consumed based on the hardness of the water used.
This is intended to optimize and customize the level of salt
consumption so that it remains at a minimum.
To adjust salt consumption:
1. Unscrew the cap from the salt container.
2. There is a ring on the container with an arrow on it
(Fig.2-4).
3. If necessary, rotate the ring in a counter-clockwise
direction from the ‘–‘ setting towards the ‘+’ sign, based
on the hardness of the water being used.
We recommend that you adjust the salt consumption in
accordance with Table 2-1.
The default setting of the water softening system is:
• If using multi-functional tablets fill the salt dispenser
and set the adjuster to ‘–’;
• If the hardness of the water is greater than 60°fH, set it
to ‘+’.

ArtNo.800-207 - Dispenser - Removing the rinse aid cap
Low rinse aid indicator
Rinse Aid
This product makes dishes sparkle and helps them to dry
without spotting. The dispenser is located on the inside panel
of the door.
When the low rinse aid indicator on the control panel
(Fig.2-5) and the indicator on the dispenser (Fig.2-6) lights
you must add rinse aid.
Note: When 3-in-1 or similar combination detergent tablets,
the rinse-aid is no longer useful.
Loading the rinse aid
To load the rinse aid:
1. To open the dispenser, turn the cap in a counter-
clockwise direction and remove (Fig.2-7).
2. Pour in the rinse aid, making sure not to overll.
Regulate the amount of rinse aid used for each cycle by
turning the dose adjuster (Fig.2-8), located beneath the cap,
with a screwdriver.
There are 6 dierent settings; the normal dosage setting is 3.
IMPORTANT: Proper dosage of rinse aid improves drying.
If drops of water remain on the dishes or spotting occurs,
the dosage adjuster should be turned to a higher setting. If
the dishes have white streaks, turn the adjuster to a lower
setting.
Detergent
Detergent specically intended for use with dishwashers
must be used. The dispenser must be relled before the start
of each wash cycle following the instructions provided in the
‘Programme overview’. The detergent dispenser is located on
the inside panel of the door.
Loading the detergent
To load the detergent:
1. Open the cover on the dispenser by pressing the button
(Fig.2-9).
2. Pour the detergent for the wash cycle into compartment
‘A’ (Fig.2-10).
3. Pour the detergent for the prewash cycle into
compartment ‘B’ (Fig.2-10).
4. After the detergent has been placed in the dispenser,
close the cover and press down until it clicks in place.
Note: To allow the cover to close properly, remove any excess
detergent from the edges of the dispenser.
If you are using 3-in-1 or similar tablets, make
sure you select the combination detergent tablet
function.

What you should not put into the
dishwasher
Cutlery and tableware manufactured in whole or part from
wood. They become faded and unsightly in appearance.
Furthermore the adhesives that are used are not suitable for
the temperature that occurs inside the dishwasher.
Delicate decorative glassware and vases, special antiques or
irreplaceable china. The decorative patterns on such items
will not be dishwasher-proof.
Plastic objects that are not resistant to hot water, copper and
pewter utensils are also not suitable. Decorative patterns
printed or painted onto the surface of crockery, glasses, etc.,
aluminium and silver items tend to become discoloured or
faded if washed in the dishwasher.
Some types of glass can become opaque in appearance after
they have been washed many times in a dishwasher. Highly
absorbent materials, such as sponges and towels should
never be placed in the dishwasher.
IMPORTANT: Dishes or cutlery that have been soiled by
tobacco ash, wax, grease or paint, should not be put in the
dishwasher.
Damage to glassware and other dishes
Possible causes
• Type of glass or manufacturing process.
• Chemical composition of detergent.
• Water temperature and duration of dishwasher
programme.
Suggested remedy
• Use glassware or porcelain dishes that have been
marked ‘dishwasher-proof’ by the manufacturer.
• Use a mild detergent that is described as ‘kind to dishes’.
If necessary, seek further information from detergent
manufacturers.
• Select a programme with a low temperature and a short
duration.
• To prevent damage, take glass and cutlery out of the
dishwasher as soon as possible after the programme
has ended.

Arranging Crockery, Glasses, etc. in the
Dishwasher
Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove larger
food particles to prevent the lter from becoming clogged,
resulting in reduced performance.
If the pots and pans have baked-on food that is extremely
hard to remove, we recommend that they are soaked before
washed. This will eliminate the need for extra wash cycles.
Pull out the rack to load the dishwasher.
Using the lower rack
The lower rack has adjustable supports that fold down to
allow larger items to be placed. We recommend that you
place the most dicult to clean items on the lower rack: pots,
pans, lids, serving dishes and bowls (Fig.2-11).
It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the sides of
the racks to avoid blocking the rotation of the top spray arm.
Pots, serving bowls, etc. must always be placed face down.
Deep pots should be slanted to allow the water to ow out.
WARNING!
Knives and other utensils with sharp points must
be loaded in the basket with their points down or
placed in a horizontal position.
Using the upper rack
The upper rack (Fig.2-12) is designed to hold more delicate
and lighter dishware, such as glasses, cups and saucers,
plates, small bowls and shallow pans (as long as they are not
too dirty).
Position the dishes and cookware so that the spray of water
does not move them.
The upper rack can be adjusted for height (Fig.2-13). Undo
the retaining clips on the telescopic runners (A). Slide the rack
out (B), ret on the lower wheels and push back along the
runners (C). Close the retaining clips (D).
Adjust the upper basket to the higher level and you have
more space to accommodate taller pans and trays in the
bottom basket.
Shelf
Lean tall glasses and those with long stems against the shelf.
DO NOT lean them against other items to be washed.
Place glasses, cups and small bowls on the additional cup
rack. The additional cup rack can be swivelled in or out as
required (Fig.2-14).
Knife rack
The knife rack clips onto the side of the top basket, giving you
the freedom to wash your large sharp knives separately and
out of harm’s way (Fig.2-15).
