Packaging: aS
Take recyclable packaging materials to the
nearest collection point.
Before using your appliance please read the
instructions carefully. They contain impor-
tant advice about the use, installation and
care of your appliance.
Please keep these booklets in a safe place
for future users.
The manufacturers cannot be held respon-
sible for any injury or damage to persons,
animals or property if the following advice
has not been observed.
1. When using this appliance or indeed
any electrical appliance you must re-
spect basic safety rules.
In particular:
- do not touch or operate the applian-
ce with wet hands or when barefoot
- do not pull the cable to unplug, but
the plug itself
- do not expose the appliance to the
weather (rain, sun, etc.)
— do not allow the appliance to be
operated by young children or by the
disabled without surveillance.
. After unpacking the product make sure
it is complete and undamaged. In case
of doubt, do not use the product and
call for a qualified technician or our
customer service.
Packaging (plastic bags, polystyrene
parts, nails, etc.) must be stored out of
reach of children as they are potentially
hazardous.
. Only use the appliance for domestic
use and for its intended purpose. Any
other use such as for washing or rin-
sing small household appliances or elec-
trical kitchen tools is very dangerous.
4. Installation must be carried out by
a qualified technician following the
manufacturer's instructions (see impor-
tant note: “connecting up the unit”).
Before connecting up the appliance
make sure that the data shown on the
rating plate correspond to those of
your house.
Electrical safety is assured only if the
appliance is correctly earthed as prescri-
bed by safety standards for electrical
installations.
It is imperative that this fundamental
safety requirement be checked. In case
of doubt, careful inspection of the
house wiring must be carried out by a
ualified electrician.
If the type of socket in your home
does not correspond to the Plug on
the appliance, it is suggested to ask for
the replacement of the socket outlet
by a suitable type. .
In general the use of adapters, multiple
sockets and / or extension cables is not
recommended.
. Before any cleaning or maintenance
operation disconnect the appliance
from the mains by switching off the
electricity at the mains or by pulling
the plug.
. Do not leave the appliance switched on
unnecessarily. Switch off at the main
switch.
. Disconnect the appliance from the
mains and close the water tap in case
of any malfunction or if a fault is de-
tected.
For any repairs call in a specialist or our
customer service through one of our
Service Centers and ask for original
spare parts.

8. Disconnect any disused appliances and
render them unusable. Remove the
door lock or render it inoperable to
prevent children being locked inside by
cutting off its power cable.
Ensure the appliance is disposed of pro-
perly and safely.
9. Store detergents and rinse-aids in a
cool, dry place, out of the reach of
children.
10. Do not drink the water left in the ap-
pliance or in glasses or dishes at the
end of the program cycle.
11. Do not let children play with or in the
dishwasher.
12. Do not use any solvents e.g. turpentine,
alcohol or white spirit in the dishwas-
her, as there is a danger of explosion.
13. The water inlet hose with the plastic
sheath at the tap connection contains
electrical components. It must not be
cut or immersed in water. If the hose is
damaged,
the
appliance
must
be
dis-
connected
from
the
mains,
see

15.
Do
not
place
any
heavy
objects
on
an
open
dishwasher
door.
Ensure
that
no-
one

when salt is added, a saline solution
flows out of the salt container. This
must not be left in the machine for a
long period as it will lead to rust
forming. The time to top up the salt
container is just before running the
machine on any programme apart
from Programme 1 (prewash) so that
the inside of the machine is rinsed
out by the hot water during dish-
washing. .

The setting knob for the salt dosage is on

(Fig. &) This knob can be set with a coin to
the appropriate setting for Hardness Range

of salt for proper regeneration of the sof-

In an area with soft water (under 10 °Clar-
ke) your dishwasher can be run without salt
(set the water softening selector switch to
2). The electrical salt level indicator — if fit-
ted — will light up during dishwashing. This
can safely by disregarded. If phosphate-free
detergent is used salt has to be added.
information on the degree of hard-
ness of your water supply can be ob-
tained from your local water autho-
rity, or from the local council.
Use only dishwasher powder and rinse aid
which are made specifically for use in
domestic dishwashers. We recommend that
both products come from the same manu-
facturer — e. g. “Sun” brand from Lever
Brothers.
Fig. @/7
Since the various detergents vary greatly in
terms of efficiency, please consult the de-
tergent manufacturer's dosing instructions.
Powder should be put in before starting
every programme (except prewash).
The lid is opened by pushing the yellow
button to the left. Do not add the deter-
gent until you are ready to start the
machine.
Fig. ©
The dispenser has two compartments, the
smaller lefthand one for the prewash and
the larger one for the main wash.
On programmes without prewash use
only the larger compartment.
When running a programme with an initial
prewash, fill one third of the recommended
amount of detergent into the smaller com-
partment on the left and the remaining
two thirds into the larger compartment on
the right.
The main detergent compartment has two
markings:
min.: approx. 25 ml
max.: approx. 40 ml
After adding detergent, close the deter-
gent compartment lid by pressing lightly.
The small compartment empties automati-
cally as the machine door is closed.
The dispenser is always open after a pro-
gramme has finished.
Note:
Amount of detergent required depends lar-
gely on how full the machine is and how
soiled the dishes are. For a full load and
normal to heavy soiling use more deter-
gent. For a light load and light soiling use
less detergent.
Fig. @/8
With the help of rinse-aid, the crockery
dries clean and free of spots. The proper
dose is flushed in automatically from the
dispenser.

Rinse-aid refill indicator
- Mechanical
Fig. @
The level is shown by the indicator eye. If
the eye is black, the reservoir is full. As the
level drops, the black ring decreases in size
until there is no black showing; the reser-
voir must be refilled then, at the latest.
Replenishing rinse-aid
Fig. ©
To fill up with rinse-aid, open the reservoir
lid by pressing in the yellow tab. Add rinse-
aid until the indicator glass turns complete-
ly black. Wipe off any spilt rinse-aid
with a cloth. Close the lid again, applying
light pressure until it clicks shut.
Rinse-aid Dosage Setting
Fig.
The adjustment knob is accessible when the
lid of the dispenser is open. The knob
should be turned by hand or with a coin
to the desired setting. The factory setting
is 3. If there are stripes on crockery after it
has been washed, turn to a lower setting
(1 or 2).
lf there are rings or calcium spots on the
crockery, turn to a higher setting (4, 5 or 6).
In this appliance there are two different
types of crockery baskets. In addition, a re-
movable cutlery basket is situated in the
lower basket.
On the left hand side of the upper basket
are two hinged cup racks. These can be set
to two positions. (Slanting or horizontal).
In position at an angle, simply lift the racks
and press towards the back. When the rack
is released it will stop at an angled positi-
on. To position horizontally, lift and push
towards the front.
The angled position is particularly suitable
for cups with deep wells in the base and
for supporting long-stemmed glasses.
22
Fig. ©
The spray pressure for the upper basket
can be adjusted. Markings on the water
feed pipe show the setting. Normally, the
pipe should be set to give maximum pres-
sure — i. e, turned fully to the left. Turn the
pipe to the right to give minimum pressure
when washing delicate crockery, or when
there is only a partial load.
Warning: .
Keep the opening water feed pipe free.
This dishwasher will hold 12 International
Place ee including serving dishes. This
is the typical daily amount of crockery used
by a family of 3-4 people.
Remove all leftovers of food - e. g. pota-
toes, pasta, bones and fruit stones — from
crockery before loading it into the baskets.
