The dishwasher is equipped with a water
softener designed
to remove minerals and
salts from the water supply, which would
have a detrimental or adverse effect on the
operation of the appliance.
The higherthe content ofthese minerals and
salts, the harder your water is. Water hard-
ness
is measured in equ iva lent scales, Ger-
man degrees
(d H O), Fr ench degrees (O T H)
and mmol /I (millimol per litre -international
unit for the hardness of water).

Da !!l.u se
• Check if it's necessary to refill with
dishwasher salt or rinse aid.
• Load cutlery and dishes into the
dishwasher.
• Fill with dishwasher detergent.
• Select a wash programme suitable for the
cutlery and dishes.
• Start the wash programme.
Helpful hints and tips
Sponges, household cloths and any object
that can absorb water may not be washed in
the dishwasher.
• Before loading the dishes, you should:
-Remove all left over food and debris.
-Soften remnants of burnt food
in pans
• When loading the dishes and cutlery,
please note:
-Dishes and cutlery must not irnpede the
rotation of the spray arms.
• Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or mother-of-
pearls handles.
• Plastic items that are not heat resistant.
• Older cutlery with glued parts that are not
temperature resistant.
• Bonded cutlery items or dishes.
• Pewter or copper items.
• Lead crystal glass.
• Steel items prone to rusting.
• Wooden platters.
• Items made from synthetics fibres.
-Load hollow items such as cups,
glasses, pans, etc. with the opening
downwardsso that watercannot collect
in the container or a deep base.
-Dishes and items of cutlery must not
lie
inside one another, orcover each other.
-To avoid damage
to glasses, they must
not touch.
-Lay small objects
in the cutlery basket.
• Plastic items and panswith non stickcoat-
ings have a tendency to retain water
drops; these items will not dry as well as
porcelain and steel items.
• Light items (plastic bowls etc.) must be
loaded in the upper basket and arranged
so they do not move.
• Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it is
specially marked as being dishwasher-safe by
the manufacturer.
• Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed
frequently.
• Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to
discolour during washing: Residues, e. g. egg
white, egg yolk and mustard often cause dis-
colouring and staining on silver. Therefore al-
ways clean left-overs from silver immediately, if
it is not to be washed straight after use.

Load cutlery and dishes
The lower basket
The lower basket is designed to take sauce-
pan, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery etc.
The rows of prongs on the right side
in the
lower basket can lie flat to allow you to load
pots, pans and bowls.
The cutlery basket
ill Long bladed knives stored in an upright
. position are a potential hazard. Long
and/or sharp items of cutlery such as
caNing knives must be positioned
horizontally in the upper basket. Take
care when loading or unloading sharp
items such as knives.
Forks and spoons must be placed
in the
removable cutlery basket with the handles
facing downwards and the knives with their
handles facing upwards.
9
If thehandlesprotrudefrom the bottomofthe
basket, obstructing thelowersprayarm, load
the cutlery with the handles facing upwards.
Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent
them from sticking together.
For best results we recommend that you use
the cutlery grids
(if the size and dimensions
of the cutlery allow
it).
For larger utensils use only 1 grid.
The upper basket
The upper basket is designed for saucers,
salad bowls, cups, glasses, pots and lids.
Arrange items on and underneath the cup
racks so that water can reach
all surfaces.

10
Glasses with long stems can be placed up-
side down
in the cup racks. For taller items
the cup racks can be folded upwards.
CD Before closing the door, ensured that
the spray arms can rotate freely.
Adjusting the height of the upper basket
If washing very large plates you can load
them in the lower basket after moving the
upper basket to the higher position.
Use of ~ etergent
CD Only use detergents specifically de-
signed for use
in dishwashers.
Please observe the manufacturer's dos-
ing and storage recommendations as
stated on the detergent packaging.

rn Detergent tablets from different manu-
facturers dissolve
at different rates. For
this reason, some detergent tablets do
not attain their full cleaning powerduring
short washing programmes. Therefore,
please use long washing programmes
when using detergent tablets, to ensure
the complete removal of detergent
residuals.
Use of combi detergent tablets
These products are detergents with a com-
bined cleaning, rinsing and salt functions.
They can also contain other different agents
depending on which kind of tablets you
choose
("3 in 1 ", "4 in 1 ", "5 in 1" etc ... ).
1. Check whether these detergents are
suitable for your water hardness. See the
manufacturers instructions.
The refilling of the salt container and the
rinse aid dispenser are no longer
necessary.
In this case the rinse aid indi-
cator light will always remain illuminated
when the machine
is switched on.
2. Select the lowest setting for water hard-
ness and rinse aid dosage.
If the drying results are not satisfactory
we recommend that you:
1. Fill up the rinse aid dispenser with rinse
aid.
2. Set the rinse aid dosage to position 2.
If you decide to turn back to the use of
standard detergent system we advise
that you:
1. Fill up the dispensersfor salt and rinse aid
again.
2. Adjust the water hardness setting to the
highest setting and perform 1 normal
washing programme without loading any
dishes.
3. Adjust the water hardness setting ac-
cording to the hardness of the water
in
your area.

arms.
If residues of soil have clogged the holes
in the spray arms, remove the debris
with a cocktail stick.
External cleaning
Clean the external surfaces of the machine
and control panel with a
damp soft cloth. If
necessary use only neutraldetergents. Never
use abrasive products, scouring pads or sol-
vent (acetone, trichloroethylene etc ... ).
Internal cleaning
Ensure that the seals around the door, the
detergent and rinse aid dispensers are
cleaned regularly with a damp cloth.
We recommend every 3 months you run the
wash programmefor heavy soiled dishes us-
ing detergent but without dishes.
Prolonged periods of non-operation
If you are not using the machine for a pro-
longed period of time you are advised to:
1. Unplug the appliance and then turn off
the water.
2. Leave the door ajar to prevent the forma-
tion
of any unpleasant smells.
3. Leave the inside of the machine clean.
Frost precautions

this appliance should be carried out
by a qualified electrician and/or
plumber or competent person.
Remove all packaging before positioning the
machine.
If possible, position the machine next to a
water tap and a drain.
This dishwasher
is designed to be fitted un -
der a ki tchen counter or wo rk surface.
Attention! Carefully follow the instructions
on the enclosed template for building
in the
dishwasher and
fi tt ing the fumiture panel.
No further openings for the venting of the
dishwasher are required, but only to let the
water fill and drain hose and power supply
cable pass through.

Arrangement lower basket
Arrangement cutlery basket
The dishwasher incorporates adjustable feet
to allow the adjustment of the height.
During
all operations that involve accessibility
to intemal components the dishwasher has
to be unplugged.
When inserting the machine, ensure that the
water inlet hose, the drain hose and the sup-
ply cable are not kinked or squashed.
Fixing to the adjacent units
The dishwashermust be secured against tilt-
ing.
Therefore make sure that the counter it is
fixed under, is suitably secured to a fixed
structure (adjacent kitchen units cabinets,
wall).
Leve lli ng
Good levelling is essential for correct closure
and sealing of the door.

18
When the appliance is correctly levelled, the
door will not catch on either side ofthe cabi-
net.
Water connection
Water inlet connection
Th is dishwasher may be fed with either hot
(max. 60
°) or cold water. Nevertheless we
advise you use a cold water supply.
A hot water supply
is not always efficient with
heavily soiled crockery as it shortens the
washing programmes a lot.
For making the connectlon itself, the cou-
pling nut fitted to the machine's inlet hose
is
designed to screw onto a 3/4" gas thread
spout or to a purpose made quick-coupling
tap such as the Press-block.
The water pressure must be within the limits
given
in the "Technical data". Your local Wa-
ter Authority will advise you on the average
mains pressure in your area.
The water inlet hose must not be kinked,
crushed, or entangled when it is being con-
nected.
The dishwasher features inlet and drain ho-
ses which can be turned either to the left or
the right to suit the installation by means of
the locknut. The locknut must be
correctly fitted to avoid water leaks.
rn Attention! NOT all models of dishwash-
ers have inlet and drain hoses provided
with a locknut.
In this case, this facility is
not available.
If the machine is connected to new pipes or
pipes which have not been used for a long
time, you should
run the water for a few mi-
nutes before connecting the inlet hose.
DO NOT use connection hoses which
have previously been used on an old
ap-
pliance.
rn Th is appliance has been fitted with
safety features which will prevent the
water used
in the appliance from return-
ing back into the drinking water system.
This appliance complies with the appli-
cable plumbing regulations.
Water inlet hose with safety valve
After connecting the double-walled water in -
let hose, the safety valve
is next to the tap.
Therefore the water inlet hose is only under
pressure while the water
is running. If the wa-
If the door does not close correctly, loosen
or tighten the adjustable feet until the ma-
chine
is perfectly level.
ter inlet hose starts to leak during this opera-
tion, the safety valve cuts off the running
water.
Please take care when installing the water
inlet hose:
• The electrical cable for the safety valve is
in the double-walled water inlet hose. Do
not immerse the water inlet hose or the
safety valve
in water.
• If water inlet hose or the safety valve is
damaged, remove the mains plug
immediately.
• A water inlet hose with safety valve must
only be replaced by the Service Force
Centre.
it Warning! Dangerous voltage
Water drain connection
The end of the drain hose can be connected
in the following ways:
1. To the sink outlet spigot, securing it to the
underside of the work surface.
Th is will
prevent waste water from the sink run-
ning into the machine.
2. To a stand pipe provided with venthole,
minimum internal diameter 4 crn.
The waste connection must be at a height of
between 30 cm
(mi nimum) and 100 cm
(maximum) from the bottom of the
dishwasher.

I:;:: .
The drain hose can face ei ther to the right or
left of the dishwasher
Ensure the drain hose
is not bent or
squashed as this could prevent or slow down
t he discharge of water.
The sink plug must not be
in place when the
machine
is draining as this could cause the
water to syphon back into the machine.
If you use a drain hose extension it must be
no longer than 2 metres and its internal
diameter must be no smallerthan the diame-
ter of the hose provided.
Likewise the inte
rn al diameter of the cou-
plings used for connections to the waste
outlet must be no smaller than the diameter
of the hose provided.
19
When connecting the drain hose to an under
sink trap spigot. the entire plastic
mem-
brane (A) must be removed. F ail u re to r e-
move all the membrane will result in food
particles building up over time eventually
blocking the dishwasher drain hose spigot
A
rn Our appliances are supplied with a
security device to protect against the
re -
turn of dirtywaterbackintothe machine.
If the spigot ofyour sink has a "no retum
valve" incorporated this can prevent the
correct draining of your dishwasher. We
therefore advise you
to remove it.
rn To avoid water leakage after installation
make sure that the water couplings are
tight.
