  • Audible Signals: The dishwasher provides audible signals for the end of a washing program and machine malfunctions. These signals can be activated or deactivated.
  • Water Softener Setting: Adjustable manually via a dial and electronically via the "Programme selection/cancel" button, based on local water hardness.
  • Salt Dispenser: Requires specific dishwasher salt. The salt indicator light on the control panel illuminates when refilling is needed. Filling should occur just before starting a complete washing program to prevent corrosion.

  • Combi Detergents ("3 in 1"): These products integrate detergent, rinse aid, and salt functions. Users should check water hardness compatibility and follow manufacturer instructions. If switching back to standard detergents, refill salt and rinse aid dispensers, run 1-3 normal washing programs without a load, and readjust water hardness.

Maintenance Features

  • External Cleaning: Clean external surfaces and control panel with a damp soft cloth and neutral detergents. Avoid abrasive products, scouring pads, or solvents.
  • Door Seals: Clean regularly with a damp cloth.
  • Dishwasher Cleaner: Recommend using Finish Dishwasher Cleaner every 3 months or running a 65°C wash program without dishes to clean inaccessible parts, eliminate odors, and prevent limescale buildup.
  • Filter Cleaning: The filter system (coarse filter (A), microfilter (B), and flat filter (C)) must be checked and cleaned regularly under running water. Incorrect repositioning of filters can lead to poor washing results. The dishwasher must not be used without filters.
  • Spray Arm Cleaning: If residues clog holes in the upper spray arm, use a cocktail stick to clear them.
  • Prolonged Periods of Non-Operation: Unplug the appliance, turn off the water, and leave the door ajar to prevent odors.
