    Only use rinse aids recommended for use in domestic dishwashers. Immediately wipe away any rinse aid spilt accidentally. This prevents the formation of excess suds which can cause a fault function of the 
    appliance.If there are streaks: reduce the dosage by turning the dial to a lower setting (1-3). If crockery is not perfectly dry: increase the dosage by turning the dial to a higher setting (5-6). Plastic dishes have more difficulty 
    drying and a higher rinse aid setting will not improve the situation.Detergents with rinse aid incorporated may be effective only with longer programs. In the case of shorter programs, detergent residue may be a problem (if necessary, use powder detergent). Detergents with 
    rinse aid incorporated tend to form excess suds.

    What to do if...
    If a fault occurs, before contacting the After-sales Service, make the following checks to try and remedy the problem.
    Most faults can be remedied by taking the courses of action, quickly restoring normal appliance operation.
    The appliance... Possible causes... Solutions...
    ...is not working/will not start
    - The appliance must be switched on.
    - Check the household circuit fuse if there is no power supply.
    - The dishwasher door doesn’t close.
    - Check if the dishwasher’s door is closed.
    - “Delayed start” option is ON.
    - Check whether the “Delayed start” option (if available) has been selected. If it has, the appliance will only 
    start once the set time has elapsed. If necessary, set the delayed start to “0” (RESET the appliance).
    ...the CANCEL/Off indicator lamp blinks 6 
    times- Water tap closed. - The water tap must be open.
    - Kinked water inlet hose or clogged inlet filters.- The water inlet hose must not be kinked and the relative inlet filter in the water tap connector must not be 
    dirty or clogged.
    - Water pressure too low. - The water tap must be fully open during water inlet (minimum capacity: 0.5 litres per minute).
    ...the CANCEL/Off indicator lamp blinks 6 
    times/wash program ended too early 
    (dishes are dirty and wet)
    - Dirty or clogged filters.
    - The filters must not be dirty or clogged.
    - Too little water in the dishwasher’s water system.
    - Concave items (e.g. bowls, cups) must be arranged facing downwards in the rack.
    - Drain hose incorrectly fitted.
    - The drain hose must be fitted correctly (for high mounted appliances, leave min. 200-400 mm from the 
    lower edge of the appliance) - see Assembly instructions.
    - High level of foam inside.
    - Repeat without detergent or wait until foam disappears.
    ...the CANCEL/Off indicator lamp blinks 8 
    times- Dirty filters. - Clean the filters.
    - Kinked drain hose. - The drain hose must not be kinked.
    - Syphon hose connection closed. - The closure disk of the syphon hose connection must be removed.
    After taking the above course of action, the fault message must be reset. In the majority of cases the fault is thus eliminated.
    RESET:Press the CANCEL/Off button.
    Close the door.
    Water drains automatically for up to 1 minute.
    The appliance is now ready to be restarted.
    Crockery and cutlery... Possible causes... Solutions...
    ...are not perfectly clean/have food residues
    - Too little space between dishes (incorrect arrangement 
    of the concave items in the rack).
    - Arrange crockery so that items do not touch each other. Concave items (e.g. bowls, cups) must be 
    arranged facing downwards in the rack.
    - Too little detergent; detergent too old or incorrectly stored.
    - If necessary, use more detergent, observing the manufacturer’s indications as regards dosage. Always store 
    detergent in a dry place and do not store it for excessively long periods of time.
    - Temperature not high enough for heavily soiled crockery.
    - For heavily soiled crockery, select a wash program with a higher temperature (see table of programs - 
    page 1).
    - Loading of the dishwasher using lower and upper rack 
    at the same time with “Half load/Multizone” option.
    - If you select the “Half load/Multizone” option (if available), remember to load only the upper rack or only 
    the lower rack to increase washing power and thus obtain optimum wash results.
    - Frequent use of Eco 50°C.
    - In the event of frequent use of the Eco 50°C program (if available), from time to time select the Intensive 
    70°C program (if available).
    - Clogged spray arms, dirty filters or not fitted correctly.
    - The spray arms must not be clogged, the filters must not be dirty and must be fitted correctly (see page 5, 
    “Maintenance and care“).
    - Spray arms stuck impeded by crockery or cutlery.
    - The spray arms must be able to turn freely and must not be impeded by crockery or cutlery.

    What to do if...
    Crockery and cutlery... Possible causes... Solutions...
    ...salt indicator lit
    - Use tablets for soft water.
    - Set “Tablet” option; if this option is not available, it is normal for the salt indicator to light up.
    ...have deposits: regeneration salt residue- Water too hard. - In areas with very hard water, more regeneration salt needs to be added (see page 2, “How to set water 
    hardness”).
    - Salt reservoir cap open. - Close the salt reservoir cap properly.
    - Not enough rinse aid. - If you use a combined action detergent, try adding more rinse aid.
    ...are not dry
    - Plastic containers dry badly.
    - Synthetic materials do not dry well; if wet at end of cycle, wipe dry.
    - Clean dishes left in dishwasher for a long time after end 
    of cycle (e.g. when using “Delayed start” option).
    - In this situation, the presence of drops of water on dishes and on the sides of the dishwasher is normal. 
    Try releasing the door 5 minutes before removing the dishes.
    - Incorrect arrangement of the concave items in the rack.
    - Arrange crockery so that water does not collect in cavities.
    - Incorrect dosage the rinse aid.
    - Increase the dosage of rinse aid (see page 3, “Adding rinse aid”).
    -Rapid program selected.
    - The rapid program is intended for quickly washing lightly soiled dishes. If used for a full load of medium/heavy 
    soiled dishes, the dishes may not dry completely. If so, select a standard-length program. For best results, 
    open the door after the end of the program and wait 15 minutes before unloading the dishwasher.
    ...have discoloured plastic parts- Tomato/Carrot juice. - Tomato sauce, for example, can lead to discolouring of plastic parts. Powder detergent is recommended as 
    it allows slightly higher doses to be used for improved whitening. Programs with higher wash temperatures 
    should be used.
    ...opaque glasses, etc.
    - Dishes unsuitable for washing in dishwashers (porcelain),
    - Only use dishwasher-proof crockery and dishes.
    ...removable deposits on glasses- Usage of incorrect programs for glasses. - Dishes should be put together, to avoid touching each other. Do not put glassware together in baskets. 
    Use suitable program for glass.
    ...glasses not sparkling- Not conform of glasses to washing in dishwashers 
    (porcelain).- Some kinds of glass cannot be washed in the dishwasher.
    ...permanent deposits on glasses
    -Rainbow effect.
    - This phenomenon is irreversible. We recommend in future:
    - Change the control of system of dosage of softener.
    - Be careful – follow recommended detergent dosage.
    - For combined action tablets see detergent producer’s recommendations.
    ...tea cups darken and dirt does not 
    disappear after washing in dishwasher- Not known.
    - This phenomenon is inevitable. Theine alters colours permanently.
    ...rust marks
    - Pre-wash program not used.
    - Salty or acidic food residues can cause rust marks even on stainless steel cutlery. To avoid this, always use 
    the pre-wash program if the dishes are to be washed later.
    ...other marks- Rinse aid dosage too low. - In the presence of marks, increase the rinse aid dosage (see page 3, “Adding rinse aid”).
    - If you use a combined action detergent, possibly add more rinse aid.
    ...streaks
    - Rinse aid dosage too high.
    - In the presence of streaks, reduce the rinse aid dosage (see page 3, “Adding rinse aid”).
    - If you use a combined action detergent which includes rinse aid, do not add any additional rinse aid.
    ...suds- Unsuitable dosage of detergent/rinse aid.- Only use the amount of detergent/rinse aid required, since excessive amounts can lead to excess suds.

    What to do if...
    If, after carrying out the above checks, the fault persists, disconnect the mains plug and turn off the water tap. Contact the After-sales Service (see warranty).
    Before contacting our After-Sales Service, take note of the following:
    - the description of the fault,
    - the appliance type and model,
    - the service code (the number indicated on the adhesive rating plate) inside the door on the right-hand side:
    Precautions and general recommendations
    1. Packing
    The packaging materials are 100% recyclable and marked with the recycling symbol  .
    2. Removing the packaging and inspecting the contents
    After unpacking, make sure that the dishwasher is undamaged and that the door closes correctly. If in doubt, 
    contact a qualified technician or your local retailer. 
    3. Before using the dishwasher for the first time
    - The appliance is designed to operate at ambient temperatures of between 5°C and 45°C.
    - This dishwasher has been tested by the manufacturer to ensure it functions correctly. Such testing may 
    leave slight drips/water marks which will disappear with the first wash.
    4. Energy and water savings
    - Do not rinse crockery under running water.
    - Always fully load the dishwasher before running it or select the “Half load/Multizone” option (if available).
    - If ecological energy sources are available such as solar panel heating, heat pumps or centralised heating 
    systems, the appliance may be connected to the hot water mains up to a maximum temperature of 60°C. 
    Make sure the water inlet hose is of the correct type (“70°C Max” or “90°C Max”).
    5. Child safety
    - Keep the packaging materials out of the reach of children. 
    - Children must not be allowed to play with the dishwasher. 
    - Store the detergent, rinse aid and salt out of the reach of children.
    6. Safety warnings
    - The appliance is not intended for use by children or physically or mentally impaired persons, unless 
    adequately supervised by a responsible adult capable of guaranteeing safe use of the appliance. 
    - Do not operate the appliance in the open air. 
    - Do not store flammable materials in close proximity to the dishwasher. 
    - The water in the dishwasher is not potable. 
    - Do not use solvents inside the dishwasher: risk of explosion! 
    - Be careful when the door is open: risk of tripping! 
    - The open dishwasher door can only support the weight of the loaded rack when pulled out. Do not rest 
    objects on the open door or sit or stand on it.
    - Sharp items that might cause injury (e.g. knives), must be placed in the cutlery basket with the sharp end 
    facing downwards. Long-handled utensils must be arranged horizontally in the upper rack, with the sharp 
    end facing away from the front of the appliance.
    - Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance, disconnect the mains plug and turn off the water tap; also in 
    the event of any malfunction.
    - Repairs and technical modifications must be carried out exclusively by a qualified technician.
    7. Resistance to frost
    If the appliance is placed in surroundings exposed to the risk of frost, it must be drained completely. Turn off 
    the water tap, remove the inlet and outlet hoses, and let all the water drain away. Make sure there is at least 
    1 kg of dissolved regeneration salt in the salt reservoir, to protect the appliance from temperatures of up to 
    -20°C. When the program resumes, an error message may be indicated (see page 6).
    CANCEL/Off indicator blinks 6 times - the appliance must remain at an ambient temperature of min. 5°C for 
    at least 24 hours. 
    After eliminating these faults, RESET the appliance (see chapter “What to do if...”).
    8. Disposal
    - The appliance is manufactured using recyclable materials. If you decide to scrap the dishwasher, it must be 
    disposed of in compliance with local waste disposal regulations. Make it unusable by cutting off the power 
    cord. To prevent situations of potential danger to children (e.g. danger of suffocation), break the lock of the 
    door so that it can no longer be closed.
    - This appliance is marked according to the European directive 2002/96/CE on Waste Electrical and 
    Electronic Equipment (WEEE). By ensuring that this appliance is scrapped suitably, you can help prevent 
    potentially damaging consequences for the environment and health. Unsuitable disposal of an appliance of 
    this type as household waste could have detrimental effects on the environment. The symbol   on the
