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 remove the basket. The
basket should be empty when you remove it.
oTurn the water softener cap anticlockwise and remove it (1).
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.
oPour salt into the water softener, you should add approximately
1 kg of salt into the water softener (2).
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 (2) 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.

place the detergent inside of the dispenser (2).

oThe left section displayed in the
diagram (A) is for the main wash
cycle detergent. Only one
detergent tablet should be placed
in the dispenser at any one time.
If you are using detergent powder
or liquid, you should follow the
detergent manufacturer’s
recommendations.
oThe right section displayed in the diagram (B) can have separate
detergent placed in it for any wash cycle that has a pre-wash
element to it, however this is optional. This must be a liquid or
powder detergent, not another detergent tablet.
oShut the detergent dispenser lid firmly to ensure that it clips into
place
oAt the relevant stage of a wash cycle the lid will open and the
tablet/powder/liquid will enter the dishwasher.
Concentrated detergent
oThe use of the NORMAL washing program, in conjunction with
concentrated detergents, reduces pollution and is good for your
dishes.
oThis wash program is specifically matched to the dirt-dissolving
properties of the enzymes of the concentrated detergent. For
this reason, the NORMAL wash program, in which concentrated
detergents are used, can achieve the same results as the
INTENSIVE program.
Detergent tablets
oDetergent tablets of different brands dissolve at different
speeds. For this reason, some detergent tablets cannot dissolve
and develop their full cleaning power during short programs.
oTherefore, longer programs should be selected when using
detergent tablets to ensure the complete removal of detergent
residues.

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.

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.
