General Hints &Tips
To save energy:
•Do not prewash dishes under running water.
•Wait until the dishwasher is full before washing a
load. If necessary use the rinse and hold button.
•If washing a reduced quantity of dishes up to maxi
mum of 50% of the capacity, use the half load but
ton (1/2).
•Always select a wash programme suitable for the
type of crockery being washed and to the level of
soiling (See Programme Chart).
•Follow the detergent dosage recommendations in
this instruction book and the detergent manufac
turers instructions. Never over dose or under dose.
•Ensure the water softener is correctly set.
For best washing and drying results
•Before loading remove all scraps of food and soak
very heavily soiled pots and pans.
•Arrange saucepans, cups and glasses etc. upside
down.
•Tilt items with convex or concave surfaces so the
water drains off easily.
•Avoid contact between the dishes as far as possible.
•Wait a few minutes before removing the dishes; in
this way they will be cooler and the drying will be
improved.
•Empty the lower basket first and then the upper
basket; this will avoid water dripping from the up
per basket onto the dishes in the lower one.
•You will improve drying results by leaving the dish
washer door ajar for at least 15-30 minutes as soon
as the programme finishes.
Items not suitable for dishwashers.
The following items should not be washed in the
dishwasher (unless they are sold as dishwasher
proof).
•Cutlery with wooden or horn handles or glued parts
•Bronze cutlery
•Saucepans with wooden handles
•Aluminium ware
•Crystal ware
•Leaded glass
•Plastic items
•Antique or fine decorated china
•Tin and copper items
•Artistic objects
•Wooden board
Crockery that may be suitable:
•Earthenware crockery can be washed in the dish
washer if the manufacturer has indicated that it is
suitable.
•Some glazed finishes may fade after frequent ma
chine washing.
•Silver and aluminium parts tend to discolour during
machine washing.
•Copper, pewter and brass tend to stain.
•A chemical reaction can occur between silver cut
lery and stainless steel cutlery. As a precaution do
not wash together.
•Iron and cast iron objects can rust and stain other
items.
•Certain types of decoration can discolour when
washed in a dishwasher.
If in doubt check with the manufacturer of the item.
When buying new dishes, ensure that they are dishwas
her proof.
For best results we recommend the use of Finish detergents, rinse aid and salt.

Prior to Using for the First Time
Carry out the following steps before using your dish
washer for the first time.
Filling with Rinse Aid
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse,
ensuring thorough rinsing, spot and streak free drying.
AIf the rinse aid display light is lit on the control
panel, open the dispenser by turning the sealing
cap to the left.
BFill with rinse aid up to the "max" mark. Do not ex
ceed the maximum container mark of 150 ml.
- Close the dispenser.
- Remove any spillage to prevent foaming.
The rinse aid display light on the control panel will go
out.
Setting the rinse aid dosage
According to the finish and drying results obtained, the
rinse aid dosage can be adjusted. Position 1 minimum
dosage, position 6 maximum dosage.
The factory setting is level 3.
Gradually increase the dosage if there are drops of wa
ter or lime spots on the dishes after washing. Reduce
it if there are sticky whitish streaks on the dishes.
Filling the salt dispenser
Warning! Only use special salt for dishwashers.
Other types of salt (e.g., cooking salt) often
contain water-insoluble components which
can block the water softener and may render
it unserviceable.
Salt and detergent packages often look very
similar. Detergent accidentally poured into the
salt dispenser will damage the water softener.
Each time you fill with special salt, ensure that
you are really holding a salt package in your
hand.
Fill with salt as follows:
AOpen the cap of the salt dispenser.
BFill the dispenser with water

CFill with 1 kg of special salt. As a result, approx. 1
litre of water will be displaced.
- Remove salt from around the opening of the dis
penser.
- Close the salt dispenser by turning the cap until
the stop is reached.
-Immediately run the "Pre-rinse"program to
wash away any salt residues.
Never fill the salt dispenser with rinse aid or
detergent!
The salt display will go out after 1 or 2 rinse cycles.
Do not remove the water feed valve, and do not
fill with detergent for any reason.
Setting the Water Softener
The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener de
signed to remove minerals and salts from the water
supply, which would have a detrimental or adverse ef
fect on the operation of the appliance.
The higher the content of these salts, the harder your
water is.
The softener should be adjusted according to the hard
ness of the water in your area. Your local Water author
ity can advise you on the hardness of the water in your
area.
Adjust the dosage as follows:
Turn the setting button using a coin or a screwdriver
until the arrow on the knob points to the desired num
ber.
The arrow must point to a number and the po
sition must be engaged positively.

The Crockery Basket
Before loading, remove any food scraps. Do not
rinse with warm water or use a manual deter
gent.
The illustration gives you some tips for the op
timal loading of your dishwasher.
Lower basket
Heavily soiled, large pieces of crockery will be tho
roughly cleaned in the lower basket.
- Pull out the lower basket to its full extent.
- Arrange large and heavy pieces of crockery, such as
plates, bowls, pots etc., in the lower basket.
Cutlery basket
- Place cutlery in the cutlery basket with the handles
downward, except for cutlery very narrow handles,
which could penetrate through the cutlery basket
and could block the spray arm.
- With the top fitted to the cutlery basket, the cutlery
no longer touches. All parts are accessible for the
water jet. In this way, cleaning and drying of the
cutlery is improved.
Important:
Long bladed knives stored in an upright posi
tion are a potential hazard.
Long and / or sharp items of cutlery such as
carving knives must be positioned horizontally
in the upper basket.
Take care when loading or unloading sharp
items such as knives.
Removing the cutlery basket top
- Press in the clips slightly (A) and remove the cutlery
basket top upwards (B).

basket, the plate rails can be set in two positions, in the
longitudinal and transverse directions.
- To take out the plate rails, the plate rail grip must
be pulled away upwards (A).
- The plate rails are then put into the transverse posi
tion by fitting them into the longitudinal struts (D)
on the lower basket, and then pressing down the
plate rail (B) until it snaps into place.
The plate rail can be varied sideways (C). Positioning as
described above.
Adjustable plate rail insert, 5 piece
For deep plates or bowls, a part of the left plate rail can
be removed.
- To remove the plate rail insert, the plate rail grip is
pulled away upwards (A).
