appliance be sold or transferred to another owner, or should you move house and leave the appliance, always ensure that
the book is left with the appliance in order that the new owner can get to know the functioning of the appliance and the
relevant safety information
This information has been provided in the interest of your safety You MUST read it carefully before installing or using the
appliance
3

Any electrical and/or plumbing work required to install
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 ater tap and a
drain.
Building-in
This dish asher is designed to be fitted under a kitchen
counter or orksurface.
Attention!
Carefully follow the instructions on the enclosed template for
building in the dishwasher and fitting the furniture panel.
No further openings for the venting of the dish asher are
required, but only to let the ater fill and drain hose and po er
supply cable pass through.
The dish asher incorporates adjustable feet to allo the
adjustment of the height.
During all operations that involve accessibility to internal
components the dish asher has to be unplugged.
When inserting the machine, ensure that the ater inlet hose,
the drain hose and the supply cable are not kinked or
squashed.
Levelling
Good levelling is essential for correct closure and sealing of
the door.
When the appliance is correctly levelled, the door ill not catch
on either side of the cabinet.
If the door does not close correctly, loosen or tighten the
adjustable feet until the machine is perfectly level.
Fixing to the adjacent units
The dish asher must be secured against tilting.
Therefore make sure that the counter it is fixed under, is
suitably secured to a fixed structure (adjacent kitchen units
cabinets, all).
Water supply connections
This dish asher may be fed ith either hot (max. 60°) or cold
ater. Nevertheless e advise you a cold ater supply.
A hot ater supply is not al ays efficient ith very soiled
crockery as it shortens the ashing programmes a lot.
For making the connection itself, the coupling nut fitted to the
machine’s supply hose is designed to scre onto a 3/4" inch
gas thread spout or to a purpose made quick-coupling tap
such as the Press-block.
The ater pressure must be ithin the limits given in the
"Technical specifications". Your local Water Authority ill
advise you on the average mains pressure in your area.
The ater inlet hose must not be kinked, crushed, or entangled
hen it is being connected.
The dish asher features fill and drain hoses hich 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. (Attention! NOT all models of
dishwashers have fill and drain hoses provided with locknut. In
this case, this kind of facility is not possible).
If the machine is connected to ne pipes or pipes hich have
not been used for a long time, you should run the ater for a
fe minutes before connecting the inlet hose.
DO NOT use connection hoses which have previously
been used for an old appliance
This appliance has been fitted ith safety features hich ill
prevent the ater used in the appliance from returning back
into the drinking ater system. This appliance complies ith
the applicable plumbing regulations.
Water inlet hose with safety valve
After connecting the double- alled ater inlet hose, the safety
valve is next to the tap. Therefore the ater inlet hose is only
under pressure hile the ater is running. If the ater inlet
hose starts to leak during this operation, the safety valve cuts
off the running ater.
Please take care when installing the water inlet hose:
- The electrical cable for the safety valve is in the double-
alled ater inlet hose. Do not immerse the ater inlet hose
or the safety valve in ater.
- If ater inlet hose or the safety valve is damaged, remove
the mains plug immediately.
- A ater inlet hose ith safety valve must only be replaced by
a specialist or by the Service Force Centre.
- Place the ater inlet hose in such a ay that it is never
higher than the bottom edge of the safety valve.

WARNING! ARNING!
Dangerous voltage

Water outlet hose connection
The end of the drain hose can be connected in the follo ing
ays:
1 To the sink outlet spigot, securing it to the underside of the
ork surface. This ill prevent aste ater from the sink
running into the machine.
2 To a stand pipe provided ith vent-hole, minimum internal
diameter 4 cm.
The aste connection must be at a height of bet een 30 cm
(minimum) and 100 cm (maximum) from the bottom of the
dish asher.
The drain hose can face either to the right or left of the
dish asher
Ensure the hose is not bent or squashed as this could prevent
or slo do n the discharge of ater.
The sink plug must not be in place hen the machine is
draining as this could cause the ater 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 smaller than the
diameter of the hose provided.
Like ise the internal diameter of the couplings used for
connections to the aste outlet must be no smaller than the
diameter of the hose provided.
Attention!
Our appliances are supplied with a security device to protect
against the return of dirty water back into the machine.
If the spigot of your sink has a "no return valve" incorporated
this can prevent the correct draining of your dishwasher.
We therefore advise you to remove it.
Electrical connection
Information concerning the electrical connection is given on the
rating plate on the edge of the dish asher’s door.
Before plugging the appliance into the all socket, make sure
that:
1 The mains voltage and current rating at the site of
installation match the nominal voltage and current rating
given on the rating plate.
2 The meter, fuses, mains po er supply and all socket can
all take the maximum load required. Make sure that the
socket and plug are compatible ithout having to use any
type of adaptor. If necessary, have the domestic iring
system socket replaced.
To isolate the dish asher from mains, remove the mains plug.
Important!
The plug must still be accessible after the appliance
has been installed
In case that the electrical cable has to be replaced,
please contact your local Service Force Centre

The water softener
The dish asher is equipped ith a ater softener designed to
remove minerals and salts from the ater supply, hich ould
have a detrimental or adverse effect on the operation of the
appliance.
The higher the content of these minerals and salts, the harder
your ater is.
Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, German
degrees (°dH), French degrees (°TH) and mmol/l (millimol per
litre - international unit for the hardness of ater).
The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of
the ater in your area. Your local Water Authority can advise
you on the hardness of the ater in your area.
The ater softener must be set in both ays: manually, using
the ater hardness dial and electronically, by the means of the
programme selection/cancel button.

Use of
salt

Filling with dishwasher salt
Only use salt specifically designed for use in
dishwashers
All other types of salt not specifically designed for use in
a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water
softener
Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete
washing programmes
This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which
may have been spilt, remaining on the bottom of the
machine for any period of time, which may cause
corrosion
To fill:
1 Open the door, remove the lo er basket and unscre the
cap of the salt container by turning it anticlock ise.
2 Pour 1 litre of ater inside the container (this is necessary
only before filling with salt for the first time).
3 Using the funnel provided,
pour in the salt until the
container is full.
4 Replace the cap making
sure that there is no trace
of salt on the scre
thread or on the gasket.
5 Replace the cap tightly
turning it clock ise until it
stops ith a click.
The salt container ill require topping up periodically. You are
reminded of this by the salt indicator light on the control panel
hich comes on hen the salt has finished.
The salt indicator light on the control panel can remain
illuminated for 2-6 hours after the salt has been
replenished, assuming the dishwasher remains switched
on If you are using salts that take longer to dissolve then
this can take longer The function of the machine is not
affected
Do not orry if ater overflo s from the unit hen filling ith
salt, this is quite normal.
Rinse aid
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring
thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying.
The dispenser, hich is positioned inside the door, holds about
110 ml of rinse aid, hich is sufficient for bet een 16 and 40
dish ashing cycles, depending upon the dosage setting.
Filling with rinse aid
1 Open the container by pressing the release button (A).
2 Add the rinse aid until the container is completely full. The
maximum level for filling is indicated by "max".
Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill
Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an
absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next
wash
Only use branded rinse aid for dishwashers Never fill the
rinse aid dispenser with any other substances (e g
dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent) This would
damage the appliance
Adjusting the dose
According to the finish and drying results obtained, adjust the
dose of rinse aid by means of the 6 position selector (position
1 minimum dosage, position 6 maximum dosage).
The dose is factory set in
position 4.
Increase the dose if there are
drops of ater or lime spots
on the dishes after ashing.
Reduce it if there are sticky
hitish streaks on the dishes
or a bluish film on glass are
or knife blades.
Top up the rinse aid when the indicator light on the control
panel illuminates

container or a deep base.
- Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one
another, or cover each other.
- To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch.
- Lay small objects in the cutlery basket.
●Plastic items and pans with teflon have a tendency to
retain water drops; these items will not dry as well as
porcelain and steel items
In daily use
10
For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery/dishes
are of limited suitability:
- Only ash stone are in the dish asher if it is specifically
marked as being dish asher-safe by the manufacturer.
- Glazed patterns may fade if machine ashed frequently
- Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to discolour
during ashing. Residues, e.g. egg hite, egg yolk and
mustard often cause discolouring and staining on silver.
Therefore al ays clean left-overs from silver immediately, if
it is not to be ashed straight after use.
- Some types of glass can become dull after a large number
of ashes
are not suitable:
- Cutlery ith ooden, horn, china or
mother-of-pearl handles
- Plastic items that are not heat resistant
- Older cutlery ith glued parts that are not temperature
resistant
- Bonded cutlery items or dishes
- Pe ter or copper items
- Lead crystal glass
- Steel items prone to rusting
- Wooden platters
- Items made from synthetic fibres

The cutlery basket
Sharp knives and other items of cutlery with sharp edges
must be laid in the cutlery rack or in the upper basket to
avoid the risk of injury
To ensure that all items of cutlery in the cutlery basket can be
reached by the ater, you should:
1 Place the grid insert on the cutlery basket.
2 Place forks and spoons in the cutlery basket’s grid insert
ith their handles pointing do n ards.
For larger utensils, such as hisks, leave off one half of the
cutlery grid.
The upper basket
Load smaller, fragile crockery and long, sharp cutlery in the
upper basket.
●Arrange items of
crockery on and
under the folding
cup racks so that
they are offset from
each other and
ater can reach all
items.
●The cup racks can
be folded up out of
the ay for tall
crockery items.
●Lay or hang ine
and brandy glasses
in the slots in the
cup racks.

Adjusting the height of the upper basket
The height of the baskets can also be adjusted hen they are
loaded.
To move to the higher position proceed as
follows:
1 Pull out the upper basket completely.
2 Holding the upper basket by the handle, raise it as far as it
ill go and then lo er it vertically.
The upper basket ill latch into the lo er or the upper
position.
Use of detergent
Only use detergents specifically designed for use in
dishwashers
Using no more than the correct amount of detergent
contributes to reducing pollution
Please observe the manufacturer’s dosing and storage
recommendations as stated on the detergent packaging

Detergent tablets
Detergent tablets from different manufactures dissolve at
different rates. For this reason, some detergent tablets do not
attain their full cleaning po er during short ashing
programmes. Therefore please use long ashing programmes
hen using detergent tablets, to ensure the complete removal
of detergent residuals.
Concentrated detergent
Modern detergents for dish ashers are almost exclusively lo -
alkaline concentrated detergents ith natural enzymes in tablet
form.
Using 50°C ashing programmes in conjunction ith these
concentrated detergents reduces pollution and is good for your
dishes, as these ashing programmes are specially matched
to the dirt-dissolving properties of the enzymes in concentrated
detergents. It is for this reason that using 50°C ashing
programmes in conjunction ith concentrated detergents can
achieve the same cleaning results that can other ise only be
achieved using 65°C ashing programmes.
Use of "3 in 1" combi detergents
These products are detergents ith a combined cleaning,
rinsing and salt function.
1 Check hether these detergents are suitable for your ater
hardness. Follo the manufacturers instructions.
NOTE: the refilling of the salt container and the rinse aid
dispenser are no longer necessary.
In this case the rinse aid indicator light ill al ays remain
illuminated hen the machine is s itched on.
2 Select the lo est setting for ater hardness.
3 Before the start of the ashing programme put the "3 in 1"
detergent in the detergent dispenser.
NOTE: If the drying results are not satisfactory e recommend
that you:
1 Fill up the rinse aid dispenser ith rinse aid.
2 Set the rinse aid dosage to position 2.
If you decide to turn back to the use of the standard
detergent system we advise that you:
●Fill up the dispensers for salt and rinse aid again.
●Adjust the ater hardness setting to the highest setting
perform up to 3 normal ashing programmes ithout
loading any dishes.
●Adjust the ater hardness setting according to the
hardness of the ater in your area.
●Adjust the rinse aid dosage.
NOTE: When using 4 in 1 detergents that integrate also anti-
glass corrosion agent into "3 in 1" formula, please follo the
same instruction as given for "3 in 1" detergents above.

Starting a washing programme

Clean the external surfaces of the machine and control panel
ith a damp soft cloth. If necessary use only neutral
detergents. Never use abrasive products, scouring pads or
solvent (acetone, trichloroethylene etc....).
Ensure that the seals around the door, the detergent and rinse
aid dispensers are cleaned regularly ith a damp cloth.
We recommend every 3 months to run a 65°C ash
programme ithout dishes using detergent.

a microfilter (2) and a flat filter (3).
Unlock the filter system using the handle on the microfilter,
and remove.

4 Take hold of the coarse filter (1) by the handle ith
the hole and remove from the microfilter (2).
5 Clean all filters thoroughly under running ater.
6 Remove the flat filter (3) from the base of the ashing
compartment and clean both faces thoroughly.

Under no circumstances may the dishwasher be used without
filters.
Incorrect repositioning and fitting of the filters will produce
poor washing results.
