1) Ideal for washing a partially loaded dishwasher. This is perfect daily programme, made to meet the needs of a family of 4

persons who only wish to load breakfast and dinner crockery and cutlery.

2) Test programme for test institutes.

"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.

First use

Before using your dishwasher for the first time:

• Ensure that the electrical and water connec-

tions comply with the installation instructions

• Remove all packaging from inside the appli-

ance

• Set the water softener

• Pour 1 litre of water inside the salt container

and then fill with dishwasher salt

• Fill the rinse aid dispenser

If you want to use combi detergent tablets such

as: "3 in 1", "4 in 1", "5 in 1" etc... set the 3 in 1

function (see "3 in 1 function").

Set the water softener

The dishwasher is equipped with a water soft-

ener designed to remove minerals and salts

from the water supply, which would have a det-

rimental or adverse effect on the operation of

the appliance.

The higher the content of these minerals and

salts, the harder your water is.

Water hardness is measured in equivalent

scales, Clarke degrees, French degrees (°TH)

and mmol/l (millimol per litre - international unit

for the hardness of water).

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.
