Using your dishwasher
Before first use
oInstall the appliance as per the installation instructions contained
within this booklet.
oFill the water softener with 1 litre of tap water and then fill with
specialist dishwasher salt. After this you should set the water
softener level.
oFill the rinse aid dispenser and then set the rinse aid dosage.
Filling with dishwasher salt
IMPORTANT: You should only use salt that is specially
designed for use in a dishwasher. If any other type of salt is
used in the appliance (in particular table salt), it will damage
the water softener.
oIdeally you should fill the water softener with salt, just before
you are about to run a wash program. This will help to clear any
salt that may have overflowed from the water softener during
the salt filling process.
oOpen the door of the dishwasher and then unhook the basket
from the door. The basket should be empty when you remove it.
oTurn the water softener cap
anticlockwise and remove it.
oPour 1 litre of water into the water
softener.
IMPORTANT: It is only necessary to do this when you fill
the container with salt for the first time.
oEnsure that the supplied funnel is
positioned correctly.
11

oPour salt into the water softener, you
should add approximately 1 kg of salt
into the water softener.
oIt is perfectly normal for a small amount of water to come out of
the water softener, whilst you are filling it with salt. This does
not mean that the water softener is filled with the correct
amount of salt.
oRefit and fully tighten the water softener cap.
oTo remove any excess salt that may have spilled out of the
water softener, we would recommend that the rapid wash
program is completed afterwards.
oWhen the salt required neon (J) lights on the control panel, then
you should follow the “filling with dishwasher salt” procedure
again.
oIMPORTANT: You do not need to pour 1 litre of water into
the container when you subsequently fill the water
softener with salt.
Setting the water softener level
It is possible to regulate the amount of salt that the water softener will
release during a wash cycle. The water softener should be set to a
level that is appropriate for the hardness of your water (please refer to
the table below).
Display °dH °fH °Clarke
mmol/l
0 0 – 6 0 – 10 0 – 7 0 – 1
1 6 – 14 11 – 25 8 – 18 1.1 – 2.5
2 15 – 22 26 – 40 19 – 28 2.6 – 4
3 23 – 28 41 – 50 29 – 35 4.1 – 5.0
4 > 28 > 50 > 35 >5.0
oThe dishwasher will leave the factory with the water softener on
setting 2.
12

You should adjust the amount of salt that is released by the machine
taking into account the water hardness of your geographical area, to
do this you should:-
oClose the door of the dishwasher, you will hear a mechanical
click when the door of the dishwasher is shut properly.
oPress the ON/OFF key (A) to switch the machine on, the LED
display will light up and show “P0”. Immediately press and hold
the program selection key (B) until the LED display is showing a
flashing “h0”.
oTo alter the water hardness setting, use the additional rinse key
(D) to cycle through numbers 0 – 4.
oWhen the LED display shows the water softener setting that you
require, press the program selection button to confirm your
choice. The LED display will show “P0” to indicate that the
dishwasher is ready to program.
oIf you live in a soft water area and as a result select setting “0”
for the water softener, there is no need to fill the water softener
with dishwasher salt. The salt required icon (J) will remain lit.
oIMPORTANT: If you are using 3 in 1 dishwasher tablets then it
may still be necessary to fill the water softener. You should refer
to the instructions given by the dishwasher salt manufacturer. If
they suggest using 3 in 1 tablets and separate dishwasher salt,
we would recommend that water softener setting 1 is selected.
Filling with rinse aid
The rinse aid is released during the final rinse and it helps
to prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes.
These droplets will lead to spots and streaks being left on
items after the wash program has completed.
oYour dishwasher is designed to utilise liquid rinse aid.
oThe rinse aid container is located on the inside of the dishwasher
door.
oTo access the rinse aid
dispenser, you should turn and
remove the cap to reveal the
spout.
13

oSlowly pour in liquid
rinse aid, the rinse aid
dispenser will hold
approximately 100ml
of rinse aid.
oYou should continue to fill with rinse aid until the dispenser is
full. Be careful not to overfill the dispenser, as this could cause
oversudsing when a wash program is selected. Wipe away any
rinse aid excess or spillages with a damp cloth.
oReplace the cap and turn it until it locks into position.
oWhen the rinse aid required neon (K) lights on the control panel,
then you should follow the “filling with rinse aid” procedure
again.
oIMPORTANT: If you are using 3 in 1 dishwasher tablets then it
may still be necessary to fill the rinse aid dispenser. You should
refer to the instructions given by the rinse aid manufacturer.
Setting the rinse aid level
The amount of rinse aid that the dishwasher requires also depends on
the hardness of your water. You should experiment with the rinse aid
setting, until you find a level that gives the best results.
oThe dishwasher will leave the factory with the water softener on
setting “A1”.
oThe rinse aid level can only be set whilst the LED display is
showing “P0”.
oClose the door of the dishwasher, you will hear a mechanical
click when the door of the dishwasher is shut properly.
oPress the ON/OFF key (A) to switch the machine on, the LED
display will light up and show “P0”. Immediately press and hold
the delay start key (C) until the LED display is showing “A1”.
oTo alter the rinse aid setting, use the additional rinse key (D) to
cycle through A0 – A2.
14

oWhen the LED display shows the rinse aid setting that you
require, press the program selection button to confirm your
choice. The LED display will show “P0” to indicate that the
dishwasher is ready to program.
oIf you get water spots and poor drying performance, then the
rinse aid level should be increased to a higher level.
oYou should continue to increase the rinse aid level until you get
no water spots.
oIf you get cloudiness or streaking on your dishes, the rinse aid
level is set too high and it is causing foaming during the wash
cycle. The rinse aid level should be decreased to a lower level.
Filling with dishwasher detergent
The detergent dispenser must be refilled at the start of each wash
cycle.
oYour dishwasher is designed to use detergent tablets, you
should place one per wash cycle in the cutlery basket (in the
position shown in the above picture).
oIf you are not placing the cutlery basket inside the dishwasher
on a particular wash cycle, then it is possible to place the
detergent tablet in one of the corners of the drip tray (see
above picture).
15

oIf you are using powder detergent, this should also be placed in
one of the corners of the drip tray. You should refer to the
manufacturer’s instructions when it comes to the amount of
power detergent to use per wash cycle.
oIMPORTANT: We do not recommend that you use liquid
detergent in this appliance.
oIMPORTANT: If you are using “3 in 1” detergent tablets and
not also using separate dishwasher salt and rinse aid, then the
salt required icon (J) and rinse aid required icon (K) will remain
lit.
oIMPORTANT: If you are using “3 in 1” detergent tablets and
not also using separate dishwasher salt and rinse aid, after
selecting your wash program you must press the “3 in 1” key
(E). The “3 in 1” icon (E1) will light on the LED display.
Loading the basket
The basket is designed to wash plates (up to 26 cm in diameter),
bowls, glasses, cups, pots, pans, lids, salad bowls etc. Examples of
appropriate ways to load the basket are shown in the pictures below.
oLoading without saucepans
oLoading without plates
16

oLoading with a mixture of
plates and saucepans
oSaucepans and serving bowls must always be placed with their
bases upwards.
oDeep saucepans should be slanted, to allow water to run off.
IMPORTANT: Care should be taken to make sure that the spray
arm can move freely when items have been loaded into the
basket.
The cutlery basket
Cutlery should be placed inside of the cutlery basket. The cutlery
basket should then be placed in the appropriate position in the lower
basket.
1. Teaspoons
2. Dessert spoons
3. Soup spoons
4. Forks
5. Knives
6. Ladle
7. Serving fork
IMPORTANT: Do not allow items of cutlery to fall through
the bottom of the cutlery basket, as this may cause
damage to the spray arm and/or the cutlery. If the bottom
of the basket begins to deteriorate and allows items to fall
through, you should replace the cutlery basket.
17

Loading dishes and cutlery
Household cloths, sponges or any other object that
may absorb water SHOULD NOT be washed in a
dishwasher.
oRemove leftovers and soften the remnants of burnt food in pans,
prior to loading dishes in the appliance.
oOnce the dishwasher has been loaded, check that the spray arm
can move freely. If the spray arm comes into contact with any
item, then you should rearrange the wash load.
oCups, glasses, pans etc should all be loaded with their bases
upwards, so that water does not collect inside of them.
oCutlery and dishes should not cover each other; otherwise you
may get poor wash results.
oDo not allow glasses to touch inside the dishwasher, otherwise
damage may occur.
oSmall objects can be placed inside of the cutlery basket.
