Fuses  
Safety Information  
Your appliance comes fitted with a plug and a 13A fuse. If you need to  
replace the fuse, only those rated at 13A and ASTA approved to  
BS1362 should be used. If you lose the fuse cover, a replacement  
may be obtained from your local authorised Service Centre or  
Electrical company. Correct replacement is identified by colour coding  
or the marking on base of plug.  
At the time of delivery...  
All functions of your dishwasher have been thoroughly tested at the  
factory.  
A small number of water marks may have been left as  
a result, they will disappear when the appliance is  
used for the first time.  
WARNING: DO NOT use the plug unless the fuse cover is fitted.  
WARNING: The dishwasher must not be connected to the  
electricity supply while installation is being carried out.  
Changing the Plug  
-
This appliance should only be connected to a 230/240V AC  
source, via a properly installed earthed socket.  
Use the dishwasher solely in a domestic environment.  
DO NOT stand or place heavy objects on the door when it is  
open, this could damage the door or cause the appliance to tip  
forward.  
Cut off and dispose of the supplied plug if it does not fit your socket.  
WARNING: To avoid a shock hazard DO NOT insert the  
discarded plug into a socket anywhere else.

harmthedishwasher.  
You don't know how hard the water in your  
home is? Ask the company that supplies  
water in your area.  
Salt  
Filling the salt container.  
Always use salt which is intended for dishwasher use.  
The salt container is situated underneath the lower basket, fill it up as  
follows:  
1.Pulloutthelowerbasketcompletely, unscrewandremovethecontainer  
cap  
2. If it is the first time you add the salt, first fill the container up with water  
(you won't have to do this again next time)  
3. Put the dishwasher funnel on the hole and pour in approximately two  
kilos of salt. It is normal that some water comes out of the container.  
4. Screw the cap back in place carefully.  
When to add salt:  
The salt container should be filled up when the low salt indicator light “T”  
flashes on the control panel.  
When you have loaded salt for the first time, it is normal for the low salt  
indicator light to stay on for at least 5 consecutive cycles.  
WARNING:  
DO NOT pour detergent into the special salt container.  
This will destroy the water softener.  
IMPORTANT NOTICE:  
3 in 1 dishwasher tablets are now available. These combine detergent, salt and rinse aid ALL IN ONE. If the water in your areais hard or very hard,  
we still recommend you add salt to the salt container to prevent white streaks on your dishes and in the dishwashers interior.  
Add rinse aid to the dispenser, only if you are dissatisfied with the results.  
In all cases, please read the manufacturers instructions on the packet.  
If you are only using the 3 in 1 products, after a number of cycles it is normal for the salt and rinse aid indicator lights toflash permanently.

cycle...  
This is the formula to get the best results and to keep your dishwasher in  
shape.  
This means that your dishwasher is equipped  
with a sensor which evaluates how dirty your  
dishes are and allows these wash cycles to adjust  
automatically to provide you with a more efficient  
and economic wash cycle.  
Note: In the ‘Aquasensor’ wash cycles, the cycles could undergo some  
modifications due to the intervention of the sensor which evaluates how  
dirty the dishes are and optimises the cycle in accordance.
