Using your dishwasher
Before first use
oInstall the appliance as per the installation instructions contained
within this booklet.
oAdd 1.5Kg specialist dishwasher salt to the dishwasher water
softener compartment and then fill with tap water. 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 remove the lower basket. The
basket should be empty when you
remove it.
oTurn the water softener cap
anticlockwise and remove it.
IMPORTANT: It is only necessary to do this when you fill the
container with salt for the first time.
oPour salt into the water softener
compartment using the funnel that is
supplied with the appliance. You should
add approximately 1.5 kg of salt into the
water softener.
oThen pour tap water into the water
softener until it fills.
11

12
oIt is perfectly normal for a small amount of water to come out of
the water softener compartment.
oRefit and fully tighten the water softener cap.
oThe salt required warning light will go out approximately 2-6 hours
after you have filled the water softener with salt. When the salt
indicator neon lights on the control panel in the future, you should
follow the filling with dishwasher salt procedure again.
oIMPORTANT: You do not need to pour additional 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).

43-69 35-55 61-98 1 Hour + Glass 60 20
To alter the amount of salt that is released by the water softener, you
should:-
oOpen the door and switch on the appliance.
oPress and hold the program button for more than 5 seconds to
enter the water hardness selection mode. You must enter the water
hardness selection mode within 60 seconds of turning on the
appliance.
oThe salt and rinse aid neons will flash on the control panel
oPress the program button to scroll through the water harness
selection options. Please see the table above for full details.
oWhen you have selected the correct water hardness level, you
should press the power button to complete set up.

oIMPORTANT: If you are using 3 in 1 dishwasher tablets and live in
a medium or hard water area, then you should still fill the water
softener with salt.
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 dispenser is located inside the drop down door, next
to the detergent dispenser.
To access the rinse aid dispenser, you should turn the cap
anticlockwise and it will pop out of the hole (1). Then slowly pour in
liquid rinse aid (2), the rinse aid dispenser will hold approximately 110
ml of rinse aid.
oYou should continue to fill with rinse aid, until the level indicator
turns completely black.
oBe 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 clockwise until it locks into position (3).
oYou should refill the rinse aid dispenser when the rinse aid indicator
neon lights on the control panel.
oIMPORTANT: If you are using 3 in 1 dishwasher tablets then you
should still fill the rinse aid dispenser.
13

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.
oOn the first wash cycle, we would
recommend that the rinse aid level is set
to number 4.
oIf you get water spots and poor drying
performance, then you should turn the
arrow anticlockwise and increase the
setting to the next number.
oYou should continue to adjust the rinse aid level upwards 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. Turn the arrow clockwise and lower the setting to the next
number.
Filling with dishwasher detergent
The detergent dispenser must be refilled at the start of each wash
cycle (apart from the Rinse wash program).
oOpen the lid that closes over the detergent dispenser (1) and
place the detergent inside of the dispenser (2).
14

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.
Loading the upper basket
The upper basket is most suited to washing delicate and light
dishware, such as glasses, cups & mugs, saucers, plates, bowls and
shallow pans (that are not heavily soiled).
1. Cups
2. Saucers
3. Glasses
4. Dessert dishes
5. Serving bowl
oYou should position the dishes and cookware in such a way that
they are not moved by the spray of water during the wash cycle.
oUse the diagram above as a guide to the most appropriate way to
load the upper basket.
15

Adjusting the upper basket
Your dishwasher has an adjustable upper basket which you can alter to
the most suitable position for the items you are going to wash in the
upper basket.
oThe height of the upper basket can be adjusted by removing the
upper basket from the guide runners.
oNOTE: you must remove the end caps from
the runners before removing the basket.
oIMPORTANT: The upper basket must be
empty when you are removing it from the
guide runners.
Lower position
oIf the upper wheels are placed in the
guide runners, then the basket is in the
lower position.
oFor accommodating additional tumblers, cups and mugs. You can
also place small, espresso sized cups on top of the side racks.
You should take care to ensure that there is enough clearance
between the top of the cups placed on top of the side racks and
the underneath of the dishwasher interior.
IMPORTANT: Care should be taken when placing long
stemmed glassware, such as champagne glasses in the
upper basket. If they are not positioned correctly, then
there is a risk that they may topple over when the upper
basket is pushed in or pulled out.
16

Upper position
oIf the lower wheels are placed in
the guide runners, then the basket
is in the upper position.
oFor accommodating items such as glass tumblers and wine
glasses. Wine glasses should be placed upside down, so that the
stem of the glass rests in one of the grooves on the side flap.
oPlease note that when the basket is in the upper position, you
cannot have the side flaps in a raised position. Otherwise the
basket will not slide back into the interior of the dishwasher.
IMPORTANT: Care should be taken to make sure that the spray
arms can move freely when items have been loaded into the
baskets.
Folding down the cup shelves
The cup shelves on the upper basket can be folded down to
accommodate the different shelf positions or to allow for items other
than cups.
oSimply push down or pull up the cup shelves as required.
17

Loading the lower basket
The lower basket is most suited to washing larger and more heavily
soiled items, such as saucepans, saucepan lids and serving dishes. You
can also load bowls and a variety of plates into the lower basket.
18
6. Dinner plates
7. Dessert dishes
8. Side plates
9. Serving bowl
10. Oval serving plate
oSaucepans and serving bowls must
always be placed with their bases
upwards.
oDeep saucepans should be slanted,
to allow water to run off.
oThe bottom rack has prongs at the rear of the
basket that can be folded downwards, to
allow for easier loading of larger saucepans
and serving bowls.
The cutlery drawer
Cutlery should be placed on the cutlery drawer. The image below is a
guide to how you should arrange the cutlery on the drawer.
1. Knifes
2. Forks
3. Spoons
4. Teaspoons
5. Serving spoons
6. Gravy ladle
oFor the best washing performance,
cutlery should not be overlapped.
IMPORTANT: Do not allow items of
cutlery to interfere with the top spray
arm. Use caution when loading and
inserting the cutlery drawer.

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 arms
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 on of the cutlery drawer.
The following items are NOT suitable for washing
inside a dishwasher:-
oCutlery with a handle of mother-of-pearl, wood, horn or china.
oPlastic items that are not resistant to heat.
oCutlery that consists of glued parts that are not resistant to heat.
oCutlery items or crockery that are bonded.

inside a dishwasher:-
oStoneware should only be washed if the manufacturer of the
item has marked it as dishwasher safe.
oPlastic items (such as lunchboxes) should only be washed if the
manufacturer has marked it as dishwasher safe.
oGlazed crockery may fade with repeated washing inside of a
dishwasher.
oItems made of silverware or aluminium can discolour when
washed inside a dishwasher.
oAny food residue should be removed from silver items
immediately, as this can also result in discolouration.
oCertain types of glass may become dull or cloudy after a large
number of washes.
